There are no secrets in the circle.

Su Zhe's words and deeds at the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala spread like the wind throughout the circle.

Someone ridiculed:

"Su Zhe is too irrational, he is attacked everywhere, and he will definitely be thrown into the well when he encounters something."

"Although he has become the boss, he is still too young and irrational, he can't do this kind of favor, is it useful to help a little-known actor?"

"If you are so arrogant, you will be unlucky sooner or later."

But at the bottom of the circle, I don't know how many people felt extremely admired after hearing it:

"Mr. Su has become popular from the bottom, and he can see our hard work."

"He is the most respectable boss in the circle."

"I really envy Ding Xinping and met Su Zhe, otherwise the role will definitely be replaced."

The ideas in the circle are more complicated, and if netizens who have no interests are allowed to judge, they may support Su Zhe more.

But it's a pity that this matter is only limited to the circle and will not spread outside the circle at all.

Su Zhe didn't take it to heart and went to participate in the finals of "Chinese Song and Dance".

In the finals, Qi Xinyan's results of practicing for many days were not in vain, although the transposition was not as good as Su Zhe, but it was also very good, and gave full play to the fairy spirit of "Rolling Bead Curtain".

This made her look forward to it, won the championship in one fell swoop, and became the champion of the first "Chinese Song and Dance".

And after the show was broadcast, "Bead Curtain" also attracted a certain amount of attention, and the popularity was not small:

[Su Zhe wrote a song for someone else for the first time, and Qi Xinyan was too lucky! ] 】

[Su Zhe played steadily, and the lyrics were written too beautifully. His lyrics are level to beat his peers. 】

[Or call him a poet in the music world?] 】

This is also Su Zhe, otherwise it would be difficult for songwriters to have such a high level of attention.

Don't look at the usual calls of the song father and the lyricist father, the fans and income of the songwriter are far less than the singer.

For example, Qi Xinyan, relying on "Bead Curtain", has attracted a large number of fans:

[It's so good! The new Yanqing is in the old phoenix! 】

[Another promising singer has appeared in the music circle. 】

[Qi Xinyan's timbre is fantastic, no one can sing a fairy song like "Rolling Bead Curtain", no one can sing better than her. 】

Qi Xinyan felt embarrassed when she saw these comments:

"The mentor sings much better than me."

The agent that Mary Sue chose for her said with a smile:

"If I want to praise you now, the boss will definitely not tear you down, and he has no shortage of fans."

Of course, Mary Sue has to take the opportunity to continue to praise Qi Xinyan, according to the law, just after the end of the talent show, it is the time when the contestants are the most popular.

For many players, this is the pinnacle of their lives, and every day after that, it goes downhill.

Of course, Mary Sue's expectations for Qi Xinyan are not limited to this, but she must also take the opportunity to continue to hype up and circle more fans for her.

But at this critical moment, Tianqiong, the virtual idol of Orange Video, suddenly released a single - "Rolling Bead Curtain", and hyped it -

"Virtual Idol Beyond the Original Song: Sky Dome"

"The sky is his limit, and virtual idols represent the future"

"The human voice can never surpass the machine, the sky is the future of the singer"

This also raises controversy:

[Qi Xinyan sang with broken notes and mistakes, compared with her, Tianqiong sang flawlessly and much stronger. 】

[Hehe, there is no emotion at all, are you listening to the pitch, or the music? Obviously, Qi Xinyan's version is more feeling. 】

[The feelings are too empty, listening to the singing skills, Tianqiong is undoubtedly the best. 】

The two sides argued endlessly, and Orange "covered" all the original songs of the contestants in one fell swoop.

At this time, Tianqiong has dozens of songs, as well as several songs of excellent quality, such as Qi Xinyan's "Rolling Bead Curtain" and the original song "Qianying".

Coupled with the "flawless" singing skills, Orange's strong marketing capabilities, and the discussion of virtual idol topics, Tianqiong instantly became popular and became a well-known "singer".

But this also affected all the contestants of "Huaxia Song and Dance", their fame was sucked away, their works were taken away, and they were ridiculed by the fans of Tianqiong:

[Tianqiong sings much better than you. 】

Even under the most popular Qi Xinyan Weibo, someone said:

[The sky is the future, he sings much better than you! ] 】

This caught Su Zhe's attention, and he looked at the performance contract of "Huaxia Song and Dance" and immediately found the clue:

The music variety must have the right to play the song, otherwise how can the program be broadcast?

But the copyright is still in the hands of the original creator, and variety shows have no right to sing for other singers, so it stands to reason that you can't empty your gloves and deceive the contestants into cultivating your own idols with your original songs.

Here's the problem – the sky is not human! He's essentially just a computer program.

Through a contract (allowing Party A to post-process the song before broadcasting), Orange Video made Tianqiong use AI synthesized sound to "cover", which is similar to post-tuning the singer, and does not violate the law in principle.

But in the actual publicity, they used Tianqiong as an anthropomorphic virtual idol, promoted the cover, and stepped on the original song.

Su Zhe admired:

"Are they the gods of ancient Greece?"

And from the wrist, the operation of orange video is much smarter than a stupid penguin holding a virtual idol in his previous life.

Stupid Penguin let virtual idols compete with real players on the same stage, the songs are sparse and hard, they don't have many fans at all, and they have become villains that all other fans are hostile to.

On the other hand, Orange makes Tianqiong a mentor and scores from the aspects of pitch, not only is his identity one level higher, but he will not be hostile to the contestants' fans;

What's even better is that in his pitch scoring, he gradually accepted that all human singers have mistakes, and only an AI like him can sing flawlessly;

In the end, he used the contract to "cover" all the contestants' songs and successfully owned the work.

And for a virtual idol, the work is the most important. After all, the image can be adjusted, the background story can be changed, and the character can be set, which is very simple.

Only works are the lifeline of virtual idols.

"That's smart." After Su Zhe figured it out, he couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder it's so atmospheric in terms of players, the champions are all given to Mary Sue to sign a contract." ”

He asked Du Kang, these things, the "Huaxia Song and Dance" program team is not clear, it is the operation of Orange Universe, a subsidiary of Orange Video in charge of [Metaverse].

Du Kang was also angry:

"I just learned that this show, as well as all the contestants, are just blood bags and victims of Tianqiong! Their purpose is still virtual idols, which is a larger market than the sound comprehensive, and it is said that it is also related to the concept of the metaverse. ”

Su Zhe has heard of the metaverse, and it was also popular in his previous life, but it is actually virtual reality, which is similar to the virtual cabin online game in the online article - from this point of view, Huaxia online literature leads the world.

The concept of the metaverse has exploded, and even large Internet companies such as Google and Facebook are deeply involved, and even as the future development direction of enterprises.

It's also linked to digital collectibles, digital currencies and the like, and we all know how scary the market is in this area (like Bitcoin, which is most famous).

This has led to the concept of the metaverse becoming a hot spot for investment, and those who can't wait to sell fried skewers talk about the metaverse, with the goal of opening fried skewer shops in the virtual world.

Later, due to the huge development of AI, these technology companies went to catch up with the new hot spots of AI, and the concept of the metaverse cooled down slightly, but it did not disappear completely.

After all, AI and the metaverse do not conflict, and even the concept of the latter is larger, but the progress of the former is more gratifying.

The above are all half-understood memories of Su Zhe, he is not a professional, and he is not sure if what he knows is correct, but he is very sure that the metaverse is the hot spot of the current world, and it is related to huge interests.

In the face of such huge interests, the orange universe doesn't care about Su Zhe, nor does it care about "Huaxia Song and Dance", let alone Qi Xinyan.

But Qi Xinyan cares.

She was very devastated, the original song "Qianying", which she was most proud of in this life, and the song "Bead Curtain" given to her by idol Su Zhe, are one of the most precious memories of her life.

But they were all taken away by Tianqiong by legal means, and they became the other party's masterpieces!

As the sky dome became more and more popular, her original song became more and more unremembered.

- Just like "Fairy Tale Town" and "You Are My Eyes", do you know the original singers of these songs?

This made Qi Xinyan cry angrily, and when she was preparing for the new album, she couldn't help crying in the recording studio.

Compared with Maomao in her previous life, she felt even more desperate-

Even more terrible than greedy capital is greedy and intelligent capital.

But what could she do? Whether stupid or smart, the power of capital is something she can't contend with.

But she signed a Mary Sue.

No one said anything to her, and it appeared on the Internet-

"Please remember the original singer: Qi Xinyan! 》

"We love real and valuable people more than virtual idols who "never make mistakes"

Mary Sue's capital is not as strong as Orange Video, but in the field of water army and propaganda, they are not bad at all.

After all, it's a brokerage company, and it's one of their jobs.

Since there is a contract, it is impossible for Mary Sue to take back the copyright from Skydome, but she can constantly remind the audience not to forget the original song.

That's enough, Su Zhe didn't plan to completely defeat the sky dome - the virtual idol can't collapse the house, how can it be anti-black? The bad luck charm is useless, so is it possible to make his server lose power?

He just needs to let the audience remember Qi Xinyan, remember that this is her masterpiece, and don't be occupied by the magpie's nest.

And with this power, the circle of fans of the sky dome is naturally blocked.

Orange Video once again came up with the old way -

Compare AI and real people, step on the original song with a cover!

Since you can't get rid of the cover hat, let's completely overwhelm the original song!

A video appeared on the Internet, comparing Qi Xinyan's version and Tianqiong's version of "Rolling Bead Curtain" in detail, devaluing Qi Xinyan's singing skills to worthless.

There are also various inventory god-level covers, saying that Tianqiong's cover crushes Qi Xinyan, and creating a virtual idol is the future.

And Qi Xinyan's fans are also trying to refute:

[Those broken sounds and wheezing, containing Qi Xinyan's feelings, made us like this song; And Tianqiong's emotionless singing, no matter how perfect it is, there is no emotion. 】

[That's right, not only Qi Xinyan, but also many songs, even if they are sung by the same singer, the most popular is not the flawless version in the studio, but the more emotional live version. 】

Or is it a debate between feelings and singing skills.

The two sides argue very much, but the emotional discussion is often justified by the public and the mother is reasonable, but the technical discussion has clear data and is very objective.

So when it comes to actually listening to songs, most people are actually emotional; But in debates, it is often the singers who win.

This time, Qi Xinyan fell into the wind again.

Fans of Sky Dome even announced:

[Virtual idols are the future, Tianqiong kills all singers in the circle! ] 】

[The sky dome is not aimed at anyone, everyone here is garbage! ] 】

Fans are easy to get up, and it's normal to say some big things, even if it's sugar cane, there are people who show off Su Zhe's achievements all day long, as if they are their own, and they are honored.

But the main owner generally doesn't accept this kind of words, otherwise it will become a black spot, but the orange universe does not mix with the idol circle, and if you don't understand this, you even use the official Weibo to like the "second kill theory".

It's for everyone in the music industry.

Including Su Zhe, who is now the most prosperous in the circle and sits firmly in the first place.

After Qi Xinyan saw it, she finally couldn't help it, and angrily uploaded her treasured recording of Su Zhe singing "Bead Curtain" to the Internet:

[Spike? Listen to the original song of the instructor! This is the version that the tutor sang casually before the finals in order to demonstrate to me, and I was just a toddler in Handan. 】

The upload of Su Zhe's version of "Bead Curtain" once again broke the balance.

The singers listened to it again, and analyzed it again by means of pitch analysis, but were surprised to find:

[Su Zhe's singing skills are better than Tianqiong! ] The pitch is consistent, and the transposition can be turned into a more mellow and beautiful sound. 】

Although AI is the future, one day, no one will be able to defeat AI. But at least for now, Tianqiong can't compare to Su Zhe. 】

[Congratulations to the artificial team for defeating the machine team!] 】

[Dream back to Yang Wu, Su Zhe's singing skills are too good, right? ] I know he's very powerful, but it's too exaggerated to be able to defeat Tianqiong, who is known as invincible in singing. 】

And the sentimental faction was even more shocked:

[His feelings are more delicate than Qi Xinyan's, it turns out that the qualities we like Qi Xinyan are just her imitation of Su Zhe. 】

[I never get tired of listening to it, Sister Qi is embarrassed, this version will become my favorite in the future. 】

- Qi Xinyan replied: [It's also my favorite.] 】

The appearance of Su Zhe's version instantly unified the two factions of singing skills and feelings, and made them form a unified opinion:

[What singing skills, feelings, we adults choose! ] 】

[It turns out that above the singing school and the emotional school, there is also Su Zhe, the big demon king! ] 】

The conflict was dissolved, but in a way that no one expected.

As a singer, Su Zhe has always had more distinct labels of "original" and "creative talent", and generally speaking, fans have lower requirements for singer-songwriters' singing skills.

This only conceals his singing skills and singing quotient, which is also unique in the world, that is, his strength as a pure singer.

- obviously has the top pure strength in the circle, but because his creative ability is too dazzling, he has been ignored by the public, which is also a beautiful helplessness.

And this time, by comparing it with Tianqiong, who has top singing skills, fans finally realized that even if they only watch "singing", Su Zhe is also a well-deserved big demon king!

[Brother, I've always prided myself on liking you, but I didn't expect it, and I've always underestimated you! 】

Fans are furious with the treasure idol.

Su Zhe also shouted:

"[The Great Demon King of the Singing World] character design? And the windfall? ”
