Deng Ziqi's new album "Revelation" was officially launched
Yesterday (August 9), G.E.M. Deng Ziqi's new album "Apocalypse" was officially launched, and the heart-to-heart production highlighted the film texture and the high-energy plot continued. In the previous trailer, the promised land, wasteland and the real three-dimensional world revealed their true faces one by one.
Paradise pink purple space dream freedom, Gloria and her friend Lulu (Ouyang Nana) through the carnival, and Evan (Sun Chenjun) sweet date, utopian life makes people feel longing; The darkness of the wasteland sweeps through the silence and desolation, Gloria wanders alone in a black robe, and the pain of abandonment tears apart the beauty of the past; In the parallel real world, G.E.M. Deng Ziqi made a surprise appearance with a short haircut, and the act of wearing VR glasses on his head covered the whole story with a layer of science fiction.
The superposition of the great contrast between the three worlds, releasing a huge amount of information, which is true and which is false?
"If perfection existed only in the virtual world, would you love the real me?" Gloria's monologue also makes the metaverse world constructed by G.E.M. Deng Ziqi more complex and mysterious.
Metaverse exploration of the entertainment industry
Deng Ziqi is not the first star to explore the application of the metacosm in the entertainment field.
When will the metaverse shine into reality? If you ask an internet company, the answer you get may be 5 years, or even 10 years. But if you ask entertainment companies, they might tell you: Right now.
The industry also generally believes that entertainment and social scenes belong to the core layer of the metaverse and are the most important business direction for the metacosm to attract and retain users. The needs of the commercial, scene experience, medical and other technical layers need to be reflected for a longer time.
South Korean entertainment giant SM has launched the meta-universe girl group "aespa", which is composed of four members, Liu Zhimin, Nei Yongzhili, Kim Min-cho and Ning Yizhuo, while the group also has four AI members.
The concept of avatar and dual world view, the girl group "aespa", which has its own AI role for each member, has attracted attention as soon as the innovative concept aespa debuted, and even gained super popularity.
The Korean boy band SUPERKIND is different from aespa in that the boy band is composed of "4 real people + 1 AI character", that is to say, the AI members have no corresponding roles, and in the real world, it is also "no one to find this person", due to the real fan base in the group and the handsome appearance of the virtual members, the group has set off a heated discussion on the Internet as soon as it was launched.

In China, Siba Media is preparing to build the "MeitaYuan Universe", and its female group will all enter the Meitayuan Universe, and purchase virtual assets and supporting software and hardware equipment required for virtual land, virtual theaters and other operations. Siba Media hopes to make SNH48 GROUP "the world's first meta-universe girl group".

Virtual or reality, how would you choose?
Just as more and more virtual idols continue to appear, as the popularity of the metaverse continues to rise, the virtual world is developing at an alarming rate and entering people's lives.
In the early years, the news of a Japanese man marrying a virtual person subverted public perception, the person is Akihiko Kondo from Japan, he and his wife Hatsune Mirai have been dating for 10 years, in 2018, they held an informal wedding.
Akihiko, now 38, said that he admits that marrying a virtual person is indeed a thing that ordinary people cannot understand, but his relationship with Hatsune Mirai has brought him out of depression, and his feelings for it are not virtual.

Behind Kondo's almost crazy move is his yearning and dependence on the perfect avatar, in the future, will more people choose to "live" in the metaverse?
The metaverse will change people's way of life, just like zuckerberg wants to create the Meta metaverse, in the future, everyone works, lives, travels, no longer need to go to the designated place, just need to bring smart devices into the metaverse, you can start a day of work, life.
The real world is limited by the laws of physics, from one location to another, is a vector path process, in addition to changes in weather and temperature.
The virtual world can achieve distance in various ways, you can take a submarine to the depths of the Mariana Trench, you can also take the whole family up Mount Everest for a family portrait. Virtual worlds can greatly shorten people's travel and maximize their personal time.
However, many things in real life are still irreplaceable in the virtual world, such as eating, staying... Human beings cannot exist without the flesh at present.
From this point of view, the virtual world can only serve the real world, and the more technological breakthroughs in the metaverse, the better the corresponding services.
Of course, we also fantasize about the day when, like the movie Avatar, we can map thoughts through nerve transmitters to another world, where human beings may be able to live forever.
Before the metaverse really arrives, we can imagine all kinds of possible things happening, but one thing is certain, from the second dimension to the metaverse, people who like to live in the virtual world are everywhere and more and more, and the virtual world meets everyone's spiritual needs for the pursuit of perfect things and helps everyone release the pressure felt in real life. But if one day, everyone likes to live in the virtual world, will anyone still like the real world?
Virtual world or real world, how would you choose?
If perfection existed only in the virtual world, would you love the real me?
