Chapter 137. Creative frenzy
In a provincial capital city in central China that has no sense of existence, Shen Qianxiao looked at her creator backstage in surprise.
She used to work for a game company, where she was responsible for producing some old-fashioned battle music, and her personal creations didn't fit well with the company's games, so they never came in handy.
Seeing Hatsune Miku at the New Year's Festival, after learning about this sound synthesis engine, she immediately downloaded the trial version, a few days after the New Year, Shen Qianxiao, who didn't have to go to relatives, quickly mastered the use of this software, she wanted Hatsune Miku to sing the tunes she wrote, but this trial version can only support a few voices, although you can follow the tutorial to get a simple singing melody, but you can't achieve Shen Qianxiao's song.
After many attempts, she simply let herself go, using a foreign folk song she saw on TV during the Chinese New Year as a blueprint to create a magical melody, and matched it with her own drawing of the Q version of Hatsune Miku's onion throwing, and uploaded it without much checking.
Unexpectedly, this video turned out to be the most popular video at the moment, and now a week later, the number of views exceeds 4 million, even at 9 o'clock in the evening, the number of viewers at the same time will not be less than 300.
Within a week, there was a steady stream of spin-off creations about the song, with some people editing it to create a 20-hour version of the infinitely looping song that made the audience shout "I can't get out", as well as various versions of the song that replaced Hatsune Miku with other characters, and even an advertisement for Hatsune Miku to endorse the green onion.
Originally, Shen Qianxiao only wanted to let Hatsune Miku take it because she saw the green onions in the kitchen, but she didn't expect that now Hatsune Miku has been bound to green onions, and wherever she appears, green onions are indispensable.
Dididi——
Shen Qianxiao's QQ rang, this is a conversation from Liu Xueyan, the editor of Hatsune Video Network, who added Shen Qianxiao a few days ago, expressing his love for the song of throwing onions, and encouraging Shen Qianxiao to create more songs of Hatsune Miku.
After learning that Shen Qianxiao had pre-ordered the premium version of Hatsune Miku, Liu Xueyan immediately said that Hatsune Video Network could directly give her a premium version.
[Liu Xueyan]: The disc has been handed over to the express, it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, we are looking forward to your new work.
[Shen Qianxiao]: Ah, thank you so much, I actually have a lot of songs, but I couldn't finish them because I couldn't sing well, and now that I have Hatsune Miku, I should be able to fulfill my long-standing wish.
[Liu Xueyan]: By the way, we have set up a group for Hatsune Miku's creators, I wonder if you are interested in joining?
[Shen Qianxiao]: Okay, yes, I'm willing.
Shen Qianxiao soon received an invitation from Liu Xueyan to join a QQ group called [Hatsune Miku Creator Exchange Group], and soon she found that this group was full of familiar original music authors on some websites.
[Dolly Carbon]: Hey, the newcomer is here, welcome!
[Runaway Boy]: Welcome newcomers, join the group to explode photos!
[Friends of Nature]: Hey, the newcomer's group business card, is it the one who threw the onion song?
[Meteor]: Wow, really, group status-1.
[Super Cell]: Group Status-1.
Most of the original music authors here have published pure music or found amateur singers to sing it, but now that they have Hatsune Miku, they have thrown themselves into it, and with the limited power of the trial version, they have squeezed the performance of this software to the extreme.
Shen Qianxiao was a little apprehensive, before she released the video, she often watched the videos of these creators to find inspiration, but she didn't expect to rely on unintentional works to communicate with these people, she really couldn't imagine.
[Runaway Boy]: By the way, I received the software yesterday, wow, this software is richer than I imagined, in contrast, the trial version is simply the tip of the iceberg, I immediately imported the clip I made before, and I guess I will be able to release a new song next week.
[Friends of Nature]: I'm dying of envy, mine is still on the way, and the spicy chicken **** express delivery here at my house just went to work yesterday.
[Meteor]: Actually, I think your songs seem to be too fast, where can ordinary people sing such fast-paced songs?
[Runaway Boy]: You don't understand, it's because ordinary people can't sing it, so Hatsune Miku needs to control this kind of song that humans can't sing, which is her biggest advantage as an electronic singer and a virtual idol!
Looking at their communication, Shen Qianxiao was a little excited, those composers in her company would not communicate like this, everyone followed the step-by-step process, and after finishing their work, they got off work at all, and there was no more communication about music at all.
When her heart was surging, Shen Qianxiao suddenly had some inspiration, she minimized the chat group, immediately opened the composition software and began to write tunes, since she met Hatsune Miku, she felt that the whole world suddenly lit up.
......
At the end of February, the weather was no longer cold, and in addition to the ghost [beep-] video, there were gradually more videos from another partition on the Hatsune Video Network.
On the one hand, some people use the trial version of Hatsune Miku to cover various famous songs, but due to the limitations of the program, the production effect is not ideal, and just when people think that Hatsune Miku is not as powerful as they imagined, another type of video appears.
That's Hatsune Miku's original song.
A simple video has only one landscape painting, which is the accompaniment and a song, and a more complex one has a picture drawn by the artist, and these various original songs have greatly enriched the video types of Hatsune Video Network.
For example, "Melting" uploaded by [Super Cell], this song has a full girl's heart, full of admiration for her sweetheart, and with a beautiful melody, it makes people seem to melt.
Another example is the song "Although the Singing Voice Has No Shape", with its soothing tune and gentle lyrics, it is moving, as if recalling the best things, and the song quickly surpassed a million hits and climbed to the top three of the music district charts.
Among the creators who made Hatsune Miku sing more and more like a human, the most special should be the author [Runaway Boy], who was the first to upload a song created using Hatsune Miku's full version of the software, but that song was completely beyond the perception of ordinary people.
The song created by [Runaway Boy] is called "The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku", the rhythm of this song is extremely fast, and the lyrics are even more amazing, even if it is a professional cross talk speaker who says tongue twisters, he can't be so fast, and in the second half of the song, the speed of speech has reached an amazing level.
With a tempo of 240BPM and a maximum of 12 notes per second, this song has already broken through the limits of human beings.
The lyrics are about the plot of Hatsune Miku's bug as a software, which caused the sound to be damaged and had to be forcibly deleted, and because of the parting meaning contained in its lyrics, it was also called "the fastest parting song" by netizens.
In the mouths of almost all creators, the full version of Hatsune Miku is simply a real electronic singer, as long as she spends energy, she can make her singing voice infinitely similar to the human voice, and she can also create a singing voice that is completely unhuman like [Runaway Boy].
The sprung up of high-quality Hatsune Miku videos quickly raised people's expectations for this software, and on March 9, the first phase of the sound synthesis engine VOCALOID, Hatsune Miku, was officially released.
