Chapter 328: Speech Synthesis Engine!

At noon, Li Zetian had lunch with Nolan Bushnell.

At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zetian went to Violet Records.

Li Xueyu, CEO of Violet Records, was very surprised by Li Zetian's arrival: "Mr· Li, what kind of wind blew you here, the big boss? You are a good boss, you haven't been to the company for several years!" There was a resentment in her tone, at the beginning, she still liked Li Zetian, but as time passed, this feeling slowly faded.

Li Zetian laughed and said, "Isn't it you, what else do I need to worry about." Now Violet has developed into one of the top 10 record companies in the world!"

"Okay, seriously, you must have something to do here, right?" Li Xueyu said.

"Well, there's something going on!" Li Zetian nodded, and sat down on the chair across from her desk.

"Tell me, what's the matter? I actually bothered you to come here in person!" Li Xueyu said, somehow there was a sense of excitement in her heart. Maybe it's because Li Zetian has brought her a lot of shock before, but now Li Zetian has come to Violet Company in person, maybe it's a great thing!

Li Zetian organized his language and said slowly: "The dance machine developed by the Flamingo Company, you should know!!"

"Of course, I know that there are a lot of songs in it that belong to Violet Company. Li Xueyu nodded.

"You should know about the fictional character 'Hatsune Miku', right?"

Li Xueyu nodded and said, "Mr· Li, don't sell it, what the hell is going on?!"

"Well, that's right, I'm going to use 'Hatsune Miku' as a character and develop a virtual singer!!" said Li Zetian.

"Virtual singer?" Li Xueyu looked puzzled, and then asked, "What do you mean is to make 'Hatsune Miku' a virtual singer, singing like a singer?!!"

"Yes, I plan to package Hatsune Miku as a star, write songs for her, and have original songs!" Li Zetian nodded, looking at the other party's surprised expression, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Of course, it would be incredible for anyone to listen to his thoughts now. How is it possible for a virtual character to be packaged as a star?

Li Zetian continued: "The cost of cultivating a star is very high, while the cost of cultivating a virtual character is relatively small. In addition, the income of virtual characters can be fully owned by the company, while the income of real stars can only be taken by the company!"

Li Xueyu shook her head, at this moment, she still felt a little fantastical.

“Mr· Li," she thought for a moment and said, "Even if we can package Hatsune Miku, how can we make a profit? Concerts? How can virtual characters drive the atmosphere? Celebrities can interact with fans, can virtual characters do it? Celebrities can attend various events and increase exposure, can virtual characters be? Once the exposure decreases, the popularity of virtual characters will soon decrease!"

Li Zetian was slightly startled, he didn't expect Li Xueyu to look so far, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes showed a hint of a smile, and he said unhurriedly: "Well, what you said makes sense! However, I plan to use the Internet to promote virtual characters! Since it is a virtual character, it is naturally more appropriate to be active on the Internet." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zetian suddenly stopped, and after a while, said: "With the development of the Internet, Internet music will gradually rise, and the sales of record CDs will drop sharply, and these songs will appear on the Internet and become extremely widespread pirated music, resulting in huge losses for record companies! There is no doubt that the record companies will inevitably decline! The Violet Record Company should seize the opportunity to carry out some !!transformation in this great wave."

When he said this, Li Zetian's tone was very serious and solemn, which made Li Xueyu feel shocked.

"Internet music?"

Li Xueyu suddenly thought that there were a lot of MP3 music on the Internet, and netizens could listen to music on the Internet without buying CDs. Thinking about it, Li Xueyu couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in her heart.

Li Zetian saw that her expression was solemn and worried, and he nodded slightly, knowing that his words had attracted the attention of the other party, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Li Zetian said with a smile, "I'll discuss the Internet transformation later." Let's talk about the virtual character Hatsune Miku first! In fact, the development of the virtual character Hatsune Miku can also be regarded as paving the way for the future transformation of Violet Records! Violet Records can add new businesses: sound production and music software production, such as the development of music players, speech synthesis engines, and so on......"

After Li Zetian said this, Li Xueyu's eyes lit up, and she shot an excited light, and couldn't help but stare at Li Zetian tightly for a while.

Li Zetian was embarrassed by her, and joked: "Could it be that I'm too handsome, so that Li Damei keeps staring at me?"

"you, it's really stinky and beautiful! There are more people who are more handsome than you, and there will be a dozen on Violet Records!" Li Xueyu pursed her lips and said disdainfully.

Li Zetian smiled, he didn't care, he was handsome, he had the power, money and talent.

Li Xueyu said at this time: "However, Mr· Li, I still admire you, why are you so smart, thinking of many things that others can't think of, and leading the development of the times step by step! Oh, I really want to open your head and study how it is different from ordinary people!"

When Li Zetian heard this, he immediately couldn't cry or laugh, and his heart was 10,000 heads***, a person is too smart, and he can't even cause others to want to study his brain?

At this time, Li Zetian poured himself a glass of red wine, then took a sip, ignoring the other party's jokes.

After putting down the wine glass, Li Zetian began to get down to business: "From now on, Violet Company will immediately recruit a group of software developers, let them develop a speech synthesis engine, and then develop a sound source library based on the speech synthesis engine, as for the sound source data, it can be sampled from the singer of Violet Records, or a professional voice actor!"

Li Xueyu nodded and said, "Okay, I know!"

Li Zetian said: "That's pretty much it, you do what I tell you first, and then I will come to the company to help them develop a speech synthesis engine!!

After explaining the matter, Li Zetian did not leave the company immediately, first Li Xueyu gave him a detailed introduction to the situation of Violet Records, and then led him to walk around the company.

As one of the top ten record companies in the world, Violet Records is strong and has signed many singers. Big stars can often be seen within the company. When many female singers saw Li Zetian coming, they frequently threw flattering eyes, full of power, and made all kinds of charming actions, and some bold even stepped forward to take the initiative to talk to him and seduce him. Li Zetian only needs to nod, and these actresses are at his disposal......
