Chapter 75: Fastest Promotion Ever

There is something called resolution in the media that conveys stories.

In a video, 144p can barely recognize objects, but cannot read text.

So you end up correcting the blurry parts in your head with imagination.

Similarly, 1080p in a video is clearly recognizable on most devices.

Thanks to this, people can intuitively grasp the intention of the video.

Resolution is like this.

If the resolution is low, you fill in the missing points with imagination, and if the resolution is high, the meaning is clear.

It’s not about which of the two is better.

It’s good that you can imagine a novel, and it’s good that you can see something spectacular in a movie.

There are also media that combine the two and have a medium resolution.

A medium that is easy to access and more familiar to people because it has the advantages of both.

Manga.

Or webtoons.

There is no one in their 10s to 30s today who has not seen manga or webtoons.

Even if they really haven’t seen it, they don’t feel the same burden towards the genre of manga as novels and movies.

Unlike novels, you don’t have to read long texts and get tired, and unlike movies, you don’t have to spend a long time, so it’s easy to access.

Therefore, no matter what kind of manga is uploaded, people read it lightly.

That’s why I started uploading 4-panel comics to the Osorin YouTube community.

“Comics. Especially 4-panel comics are very easy to read. Besides, they spread quickly on the internet. Actually, screenshots of comics are circulating a lot on other communities, right?”

-Yeah, so thanks to that, there are people who came to watch the broadcast after seeing it. Did you do it on purpose? You could have taken it down by copyright.

“That’s right. It’s easier to spread it like this than videos, and viewers can also watch it lightly. Unnie, don’t you watch it better if someone sends you a few pictures or comics rather than sending you a video link and telling you to watch it?”

-That’s certainly true.

People are easily fooled by familiarity.

Just like how people who watched Osorin’s broadcast continue to watch even though it changed from a standing image to virtual. If they see something even slightly familiar, they create their own familiarity based on it.

People who first came in through comics also watch YouTube and make Osorin familiar by watching the scenes that appeared in the comics.

Then, the inflow of live broadcasts will naturally increase.

‘Well, this method could have been used even if it wasn’t now.’

It was a method that could have been used much earlier.

But there was a reason why I came to do it now.

“Your brother seems to be really enjoying your broadcast. The details are amazing.”

-That’s what I’m saying…. What kind of reaction should I have?

First, as official content, fixed quality and high understanding are needed.

Second, there is the issue of salary.

Teacher Hayeon would have a suitable drawing style and high understanding, but the unit price was too high.

That person is too famous.

I could have recruited from fans, but the timing wasn’t right.

I also thought, “Do I really need to do it?” because it had been growing steadily without any decline.

Then, a perfect person appeared, so there’s no reason not to do it, right?

“Since it’s come to this, how about having your brother appear on the broadcast? You got a lot of views by talking about your brother on the broadcast.”

-I don’t mind, but can he handle it? And if I’m going to have someone appear, I have someone else in mind besides my brother.

“Who is it?”

I ask, pretending not to know.

-Of course it’s you, Sua. Where are you trying to pretend?

“Don’t even think about it, give up.”

-I’ll definitely make you appear someday.

Since when did she keep saying that to me?

I’ve told her several times that I have no intention of appearing on the broadcast, when will she give up?

While we were talking about such nonsense.

Ding-

[Jina]: Child editor

[Jina]: Long time no see

[Jina]: If you have nothing to do, wanna meet?

“The company preparations are all done?”

A private room in a cafe.

I asked back while sipping a chocolate latte topped with whipped cream.

I almost choked on the surprising news.

Jina nodded, sipping an Americano with two shots added.

Somehow, the dark circles under her eyes seem darker than before.

“The corporation has been established and the business registration is complete. The office has been secured. And the employees have been hired.”

“You really did everything in an instant….”

“Yeah, now all we have to do is start working properly.”

A company is not something that can be made just like that.

Besides, Jina wouldn’t work haphazardly, so there must have been a lot of hard work.

The dark circles under her eyes proved it.

“Then the VTuber company is finally starting. When are you thinking of starting? Have you secured the virtual avatars?”

“I’ve already talked to the place to entrust the avatars. I need to discuss with the executives when to start.”

“Executives? Who are they?”

Well, even if it’s a small and medium-sized enterprise, there must have been people who helped establish the company.

Or she put people she knew in executive positions.

That happens often in dramas, doesn’t it?

Jina rummaged through her bag, found something, and took it out.

She placed it in front of me and said.

“Seo Sua, Vice President. Congratulations on your employment and promotion to executive. You’re the youngest and fastest promotion.”

A name tag with my name and position written on it.

The problem is that the part where the position is written says ‘Vice President’.

“…Me, Vice President?”

“Then, who else?”

“Tax accountants or legal experts….”

“I gave those people the executive director position. Besides, considering the work you do, you should be at least vice president.”

“What kind of work do I do?”

“Editing, content creation, broadcaster management, promotion, and company direction advice?”

“We talked about that.”

“Then you agreed, right?”

“How could that be?”

When I glared at her with squinted eyes, Jina chuckled and lightly retorted.

“Don’t glare at me like that. It’s a joke. Vice president is a position that’s not really necessary anyway. And I can’t hire a 14-year-old.”

“Then, what about the work I do?”

“You have to do that.”

“I shouldn’t have made the promise….”

“It won’t be that hard. I’ll only ask the child editor when I really need help. Well, I’ll leave the editing mainly to you.”

If that’s the case….

Anyway, editing doesn’t take that long, and the rest is what I’ve been doing with Osorin.

“Ah, right. There’s something I need to tell you. This name tag is a little wrong.”

“Where is it wrong?”

“My name. I’m not ‘Seo Sua’ anymore, I’m ‘Lee Sua’. I changed it according to my father’s surname.”

“What, when did you change it?”

“I changed it when Jina unnie wasn’t contacting me. You should have contacted me more often.”

My parents didn’t bring it up.

So I told my parents first.

Even if I keep my name, I want to share the surname.

Since I became their child, I wanted to ask them to give me a completely new name, but that was not polite to the director who gave me my name.

So I wanted to follow the surname at least, so I suggested it to the two of them.

In the end, my surname became Lee, not Seo.

Well, anyway, the people around me all call me without my surname, so I don’t feel much difference.

I felt a little sorry for Mom, whose surname is Song, but Mom reacted positively.

Because Song Sua sounds a little strange.

“Anyway, you’re saying you’ll consult with me about the company schedule?”

“Yeah, that’s right. You’re the only person in our company who knows about VTubers at an expert level. Everyone knows a little, but not extensively.”

“The responsibility is heavy.”

But I felt my heart pound a little.

Am I creating a new VTuber with my own hands?

“Then let’s start by posting a recruitment notice. The demand for VTubers has increased to some extent and interest has grown, so if we openly recruit, quite a few people will gather.”

It’s not just a matter of VTubers.

This also includes Jina’s influence.

She has already made many plans to rescue various rookies through general broadcasting, and many people have risen and established themselves as a result.

If a person with such achievements says they will raise broadcasters from the beginning, people’s attention will naturally be drawn.

“Let’s create the virtual avatar after recruiting the broadcaster. No matter how much it’s an RP, there needs to be some similarity to oneself for the broadcast to be smooth.

If a timid person takes on a cheerful appearance and RP, burnout will come quickly.”

In fact, virtual avatars are often created based on the actual appearance.

By making the height or body shape similar to the actual body, the movement becomes natural, and the subtle awkwardness that comes from virtual can be concealed as much as possible.

“That’s true. If you hide your personality or way of speaking, you can’t broadcast for long. I’ve seen people like that often.”

This phenomenon occurs frequently, especially among hako broadcasters.

Due to the obsession that they have to create a unique characteristic, they forcibly create a personality and way of speaking for broadcasting.

If they do that, they can make a unique broadcast, but someday they will exhaust all their mental energy and quit broadcasting or break the concept.

If that’s the case, it would be better to broadcast with their original personality from the beginning.

“But even if I have my name, will there be people who apply to an uncertain company? People don’t know what our company can do. And even if I explain it like a presentation, not everyone will watch it.”

Her concern was valid.

No matter how much VTubers are gradually becoming popular and the company has been established, joining a company is not something that can be easily decided.

Even if Jina’s name is there, it’s not a guarantee of success.

A new type of startup company.

It’s natural to be a little reluctant.

“There’s no choice but to prove it directly.”

“Prove?”

“How can a VTuber company prove itself? It has to prove itself with a VTuber.”

You have to put forward everything you can, right?

Then the person at the top has to move first.

“Jina unnie, let’s debut as a VTuber.”

If the president shows that she has become a VTuber with amazing quality, wouldn’t that be the best promotion?
