America's No. 1 financial conglomerate

Chapter 678 The Exhausting Promotional Video

Google's current influence and popularity need no further explanation.

Even a product launch event is a grand affair, attracting immense attention.

Not to mention the major Wall Street giants, New York celebrities from all walks of life gathered at the event, all hoping to find the next big thing or new inspiration from Google's product launch.

When the time reached 20:40 PM, after the so-called core data release conference ended, all the lights in the venue suddenly went out.

Hamilton smiled at the audience and said, "Next, we will announce the most exciting, most invested, most ambitious, and most anticipated plan for Google for the next few years, even the next decade..."

"However, before that, I want to tell you in advance that the product presentation will be very long, possibly more than an hour, or even longer."

An hour?

What kind of product presentation would take an hour?

On stage, Hamilton smiled mysteriously and said, "Now, please join us in watching a promotional video that we've carefully produced. We call it the Toots Debut Project."

Is Toots planning a debut?

Is Google heading into the film and television industry? Unsuspecting viewers were all puzzled by Hamilton's words, including media and guests, who wondered if they had misheard.

Without further explanation, Hamilton walked to the other side of the stage amidst everyone's puzzled gazes.

Then, all the stage spotlights were turned off, and the big screen lit up, giving people the feeling of being in a movie theater.

"This scene looks familiar," Ernst said with a smile, leaning against the headboard and watching the television screen.

Big Ivan coughed lightly, looked up at the TV, his face flushed, and asked with a tired and fearful tone, "Is it still not working?"

Ernst smiled and patted her head, his eyes encouraging, "I told you, you need to try new things."

Big Ivan lowered his head and remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

She was a relatively conservative girl; she could accept normal romantic relationships, but what Ernst said... well...

But what if you don't do what the other party says?

But what if that still doesn't work?

Do we really have to go and get those props from the cabinet?

Ernst didn't urge him. He knew that the other party would absolutely not spoil his fun at this point, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain. Sure enough, after a brief pause, Big Ivan silently walked towards the bed and headed towards the bathroom.

Three minutes later, a piercing scream echoed from a mansion in New York's Central Garden.

However, Ernst ignored him, his eyes already fixed on the television.

Inside the dimly lit venue, thousands of invited guests held their breath, their eyes fixed on the huge screen in front of them.

As the iconic Google logo slowly appeared accompanied by a simple yet technologically advanced sound effect, a low commotion arose in the audience.

As a global leader in the technology industry, every public move by Google affects the industry. This ingenious video has filled everyone with curiosity and anticipation.

After the "l" fades out, a striking title appears in the center of the screen: "The Toots Debut Project." The font design is lively and colorful, creating a subtle contrast with Google's usual minimalist style.

It's more like an animated film than an introductory video.

It's the story of an anime character named Toots who dreams of becoming a big star. He practices various songs at home every day and finally achieves his dream and makes his debut.

No wonder it was said to take an hour; this animated film only lasted for over fifty minutes, with the songs alone taking up more than thirty minutes.

There were no thematic twists or turns. Apart from the good singing, even those who weren't professional filmmakers knew that this was a work with a rather uninteresting plot and storyline.

But this did nothing to diminish the shock on their faces; their eyes, fixed on the giant screen, were utterly dumbfounded. The picture quality was simply too exquisite, far surpassing the visual standards of any animated film currently in production worldwide, reaching an astonishing level.

On screen, every hair on Toots' head is clearly visible, displaying a natural luster and texture under different lighting conditions, with even the slightest tremors appearing lifelike.

Every scene in the picture, from the furnishings in the room to the scenery outside, has been meticulously crafted, with clear textures and rich colors, as if you could touch it.

Even the transitions between each frame are smooth and natural, without any stuttering or roughness.

Many guests at the event couldn't help but compare it to the hugely popular Pixar animated film "A Bug's Life" from last year, with many feeling that, in terms of visuals alone, it was even better.

Some people even touched their noses, as if they smelled something burning—money burning.

As the story drew to a close, something else appeared that amazed everyone present.

That was when Toots finally released her first single.

Unlike the previous songs, which were familiar to most of the guests present and were classics in American music history, this one featured a different song.

This song, "Pker Face," is definitely a new song; otherwise, how could no one know about such a cheerful melody?

"You said this is a song you wrote?"

In the master bedroom, Big Ivan lay on Ernst's chest, trying to distract her with other topics. "Do you like it?" Ernst asked.

He had just discovered that the other person was actually following the rhythm of the songs on TV.

He gestured for her to sit up, then stood up, looking down at her and teasingly asked, "How about you sing a song too?"

He felt he had to give the CBS camera crew a bonus, and as if to cooperate with him, the camera panned to her father again, who was actually dancing to the music on set.

"Come on, don't waste such good backup dancers."

Big Ivan gave him a wronged look, but by then, there was no turning back.

There was no future for the two of them; she was absolutely certain of that.

Therefore, it is necessary to leverage the other party's reputation during this period to establish one's own image.

Like them, viewers across America watching the live stream were swaying to the beat of the energetic song, and there were already posts online asking where to find it.

However, the guests at the scene were not thinking about this; rather, they were still puzzled.

So what exactly is Google's "Toots Debut Project" trying to say?

Does this mean Google's special effects are amazing and have surpassed major Hollywood special effects companies? But how much money can the entertainment industry make?

You are a tech company, and it's very likely that you'll become the world's most valuable tech company in two days.

Playing with special effects, isn't that just lowering your status?

What's the difference between this and competing with farmers for their produce?

As everyone remained puzzled, the film ended, the lights came on, and Hamilton walked back to the stage.
