Haixi Pioneer Park, Mopan Technology Headquarters.

A group of employees were working overtime in the cubicle, but the four bosses of the company gathered in the pantry, drinking tea and eating fruits and chatting happily.

The company's site is provided by the incubator, with simple and modern decoration, the same mainstream computer, and all water and electricity networks. However, Shen Mo and the others still put some thought into arranging a corner of the workplace into a special pantry.

People drink eight glasses of water a day, and the pantry often gathers people, which can easily become a distribution center for stories and news, where gossip news circulates, internal grievances appear, complaints collide here, and ambiguous feelings grow here...... Whether a company's corporate culture is good or not, you can know what is in the pantry.

Of course, the grinding disc is indispensable in the pantry of grinding disc technology, and a small grinding disc is placed upright on the grass-green leisure dining table. Because of its small size and effortlessness, people with ADHD often reach out to play with it, and the grinding pieces and handles have long been polished smooth and shiny, and the figure is faintly visible.

In addition, the necessary hardware such as water dispensers, kettles, coffee machines, and beverage cabinets are also readily available, and they have also installed a large-screen TV on one side of the wall, so you can come and watch TV movies when you have nothing to do.

However, what appeared on the TV screen at this time was the scene of the "Bee Rolling Stone Signing Conference".

Bee has a good relationship with Strait Satellite TV, and it is easy to get the live broadcast time from 9 am to 12 pm during the day, and put this unique signing meeting on a small TV and send it to the national TV audience. Prior to this, Bee and Triton also put a variety of trailers and promotional advertisements on their respective channels, promoting the Rolling Stones star joining, the "vertical line" re-combined, high-simulation robots, and the all-round AI that can compose music and sing to the majority of users, which really attracted many viewers to change the channel on time, and the ratings surged several times and easily won the first place in the same period of the day.

As peripheral members of the bee ecosystem, the four giants of the mill plate specially put their work on hold for the time being, and gathered in the pantry to watch the press conference collectively, trying to observe the new trends of the bee land.

Retracting her gaze from the eloquent Rolling Stone Duan, Qi Linlin sighed softly, "The record industry is really not good! Singers are either running talent shows or variety shows, and record companies have also become vassals of Internet companies. Can robots sing, and do they know what emotion is?"

Before the two men could express their opinions, Sun Xiang, who was a close friend, stabbed her, "I think it's okay, I can still hear the tone, rhythm and feelings if I listen carefully." The remaining slight sense of electronic timbre synthesis is not a disadvantage, this thing is actually the cute point of these virtual singers, if they are all lost, it will be a pity!"

Qi Linlin glared at her friend angrily, "Okay, you Sun Xiaoyan, you deliberately demolished my platform, right?"

The latter smiled and looked back, "I'm just telling the truth, don't you think these two robots are beautiful and interesting?"

"You're out of the question, you don't want to powder the big handsome guy and the little fresh meat, and you're actually obsessed with robots? Do you want your family Shen Mo to go to Tiger to buy a handsome dancer to take home, and we will be together at night?"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Sun Yan still understood the meaning of the other party in seconds, and the two red clouds quickly climbed up his cheeks and pounced on the other party with a fit, "Ah! What are you talking about?"

Qi Linlin is not a submissive person, resisting harassment while fighting back tenaciously. The strength of the two of them was half a pound and eight taels, and they were each hit in the weak point, and they soon laughed and trembled. The weather is cool and the spring shirt is thin, and a little spring light is quietly exposed, so that the men who are watching are not unlooking, let alone not.

"Ahem!" At the critical moment, Shen Mo, who was the general manager, stood up, "Okay, okay, it's almost done." It's a company here, it's public, pay attention to the impact!"

The two of them also reacted, and they arranged their clothes separately.

Wu Pan, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, stood on his girlfriend's side clearly, and questioned: "What is Bee going to do? Live singers are almost out of the mix, what future do these two robots have? And Rolling Stone, too, with such a level of singing, will anyone buy a record after releasing it?"

"Why not?" Shen Mo also stood on Sun Yan's side and retorted, "The first and second music albums created by artificial intelligence in human history must have been bought by many people with the idea of trying or collecting. Even if you really can't sell much, you can earn a wave of popularity, and it's not a loss at all!"

"And then?" Qi Linlin regrouped and asked, "When the novelty fades and the value of the collection decreases, what should the Rolling Stone do? Hide them and throw them aside? What about the bees? What can you get by tossing such a big battle? Do you really want to use this to enter the entertainment industry?"

"That's nothing, anyway, AI doesn't need wages, and robots don't need maintenance if they don't need to be used. As for the bees, they may not have much money, but their reputation is great, who would doubt their technical strength in the field of simulated robots?

Qi Linlin turned her head when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw Atletico Madrid appear on TV.

On the screen, Atletico Ma was wearing a light blue suit and holding the microphone calmly: "As Brother Brown Sheng said, Xiaobai Xiaozhao has the ability to compose and sing independently according to the proposition, and is a standard third-generation virtual idol." However, the eldest brother can rest assured that their ability is still very limited, and they do not have the ability to challenge professional musicians for the time being. ”

Beside him, Li Palmsheng, who continued to make guest appearances as hosts, pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, "In this way, then I'll rest assured." ”

At this moment, Mr. Duan of Rolling Stone interjected and asked the former very exaggeratedly: "Mr. Ma, didn't you say that before? If Xiaobai Xiaozhao can't beat professional singers, wouldn't we lose money?"

"How can you lose?" Atletico asked back lightly, "We can let Xiaobai Xiaozhao take the route of differentiated competition, temporarily avoid professional singers, and make every effort to meet the music creation needs of ordinary users, and at the same time continuously improve the learning ability of AI in the process, and wait until the time is ripe to return to the mainstream music circle." ”

Duan Zhongtan nodded, and read out the lines arranged on the script, "Very good, just do it!"

Turning his head to look straight ahead, Atletico continued: "Let's play a little game, how about it?"

Seeing the applause from the audience, Atletico Ma bowed: "Just now everyone appreciated the ability of the two newcomer singers to sing ancient poems and new songs, now let's test their ability to control other themes." ”

Pointing sideways to the big screen behind him, he said: "The rules are here, everyone hurry up and pick up your phone!"

The live TV camera turned around, allowing Shen Mo and them to see the rules on it clearly.

The content is not complicated, the audience can send the music style and content theme they want to hear the most by sending mobile phone text messages live barrage reply to the bib and other methods, and then the server will grab this information and merge similar items and display them on the screen, and the most popular song ordering instructions will be satisfied.

If that's it, it's just that.,The key is that this game has a prize.,The song is divided equally with all the people who guess the prize of 10,000 yuan.,Even if you can't get the song award.,There are physical lucky prizes and gold coin consolation prizes waiting for everyone.,Ensure that most people can get a prize.。

The effect of the reward was immediate, and the TV screen was soon covered by a dense "official barrage", and Atletico Madrid was completely invisible.

There is also Qi Linlin's contribution here, although she said disdain, she still accidentally touched her phone and accidentally sent a text message.

A few minutes later, the results of the first round of voting were in. "Pop: Love" won, and Sun Yan jumped up excitedly, pounced on Shen Mo and yelled.

Bee Music was very efficient, and the second round of the game had just begun, and the prize money of up to 22.13 yuan was sent over. The grand prize of 10,000 yuan was shared by more than 300 people, and the accidental income tax of 20 was withheld, so it is not surprising that such a result occurred.

The prize money did not discourage the enthusiasm of the audience, the second and third song themes were released one after another, and Atletico Madrid and others also left the stage, and Li Xiaozhao, who wore modern clothes, returned to the stage.

The faint piano sound grew louder and louder, and the expired Luo in a white dress said softly: "It's raining, I'm thinking about you......"

To be honest, the lyrics are very average, except for smooth rhyme, there are no advantages, and the level of accompaniment is not good, and it sounds all kinds of déjà vu. Only the singing skills maintain a high level, coupled with the beautiful face and voice of the female robot, the overall is quite acceptable.

After singing a paragraph, Li Xiaozhao bowed and left, and Li Xiaobai, who changed into a small suit and school uniform, came to the stage again to bring everyone a new song under the title of "Pop: Fish". The final performance is similar to the former, ordinary but not unpleasant.

Wu Pan smacked his lips, "The words are average, the song is average, the idea is average, and the singing skills are average, at this level, any trained songwriter and singer can beat them in seconds." ”

"That's different," Shen Mo shook his head, "There are millions of songwriters, and hundreds of millions of singing are not too bad, but there are only these two AI who can write and sing for the time being, which is a unique scarce resource." Atletico Madrid has said that they will avoid professional singers for the time being, give priority to meeting the needs of ordinary users, and make it clear that they are going to Hatsune Miku and their own Miss Yiqiu. ”

According to the PPT behind Atletico Madrid, Xiaobai Xiaozhao will develop comprehensively in various fields of film, television, audio and games. In addition to participating in the filming of film and television dramas in the form of robots, Bee will also release special music synthesis software, allowing ordinary users to use their singing ability and image for secondary creation, which is basically the same as the second-generation virtual singer, but the specific process is much simpler.

"At this level?" Wu Pan scoffed, "Whether it's Hatsune or Yiqiu, there are a lot of millions of songs under their names, what are these two?"

"There is a level!" Shen Mo smiled, pointing to the TV screen, "Compared with the second-generation virtual idol, Xiaobai Xiaozhao's singing skills have improved significantly, the upper limit is not as good as that of professionals, but the lower limit is much higher than that of ordinary people, and he can also learn to improve and make continuous progress." ”

As he spoke, he also glanced at Wu Pan pointedly.

The first generation of virtual singers is a cartoon image that needs to be dubbed, but the second and third generations of virtual singers have become music synthesis software in which users participate, and the upper limit of their "singing skills" is determined by the bottleneck of the software, and the lower limit is affected by their respective shortcomings.

The lower limit of the second-generation virtual singer is the specific level of the "tune" teacher, and each user's original ability, musical inspiration, artistic taste, and software use skills are different, resulting in a very large fluctuation in the quality of the final product, both sought-after masterpieces, and defective products that no one cares about. Naturally, the latter are significantly more numerous, causing a great annoyance to passers-by and listeners.

The three generations of virtual singers have reduced the work intensity of the "tune" teacher, and the user only needs to specify the theme style, and the AI can automatically complete all the creation of lyrics, songs, and singing. Whether it's a new song based on an ancient poem, or a new song based on the mood of the weather, you can do it.

Although it is difficult to find a good piece of music, it is better to play smoothly and can basically be listened to. Atletico Madrid's purpose in award-winning songs at the press conference was to prove it, and Xiaobai Xiaozhao did not disappoint him and most of the audience.

For people who are gifted and have mastered skills, the second generation, which is difficult to get started but more free, is more suitable, but for most ordinary people, the third generation, who are good at writing songs, is obviously more popular, which may greatly reduce their learning costs and behavioral costs.

Wu Pan is one of these ordinary people, and he has tried to write songs for Hatsune and Yiqiu before, but he can't stand the works he makes. Although those documents have been destroyed by him, he still can't hide Shen Mo, who is an old friend, and he has to take them out and talk about them every once in a while.

Pretending not to see the other party's teasing eyes, Wu Pan nodded and praised: "That's right, AI singers are indeed quite suitable for ordinary people." ”

"You're right!Friends," Shen Mo looked around at everyone, "I have an idea, is it feasible for everyone to take a look?"

"Tell me about it!"

"That's the case, how about we leave the creation of the Disaster Messenger episode to them?"

"Earthquake Rescue" and "Disaster Rescue" have been used, and the new game of Grinding Disc Technology has to be given a new name of "Disaster Messenger". After months of hard work, this friend-adversarial disaster mobile game has been largely completed, and the final internal test to catch insects is underway.

Proper background music can better render the atmosphere, grinding disk technology does not have talents in this area, Shen Mo originally planned to find someone to outsource, but now he sees a new way to save money, and he is sure to change his mind.

"You can try, it's best to do it on both sides at the same time, and use it preferentially," Wu Pan said, and at the end he couldn't help laughing, "This game is really related to AI, the character action is AI, the character voice is AI, and the disaster simulation is AI, and now we have to add BGM, so simply change the name to AI Doomsday." ”

"Sounds good," Shen Mo pinched his chin and turned to the two women, "What do you think?"

Sun Yan said that it was okay, but Qi Linlin had a different opinion, "It's not good, it's better to change it to friends, this game is to play each other's harm, so that more people and friends are our ultimate pursuit!"

Wu Pan immediately shook his head, "This is not good, you can use it for publicity, but it is not suitable for putting it in the name, it is too vague." ”

Seeing that they were about to start their daily bickering again, Shen Mo hurriedly played a round: "Forget it, let's talk about this later." ”
