There are no secrets in the circle.

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

Someone laughed:

"Su Zhe is too irrational. He is attacked everywhere. If something happens, he will be hurt."

"Although he has become the boss, he is still too young and irrational. He doesn't know how to do this kind of favor. Is it useful to help an unknown actor?"

"You're going to be unlucky sooner or later if you're so arrogant."

But at the bottom of the circle, I don’t know how many people felt great admiration after hearing:

"Mr. Su rose from the bottom to become famous. You can see our hard work."

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

"I really envy Ding Xinping for meeting Su Zhe, otherwise the role would have been replaced."

The thoughts in the circle are relatively complicated. If netizens who have no interest in the matter are allowed to judge, they may be more supportive of Su Zhe.

But unfortunately, this matter is only limited to the circle and will not spread outside the circle at all.

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

In the finals, Qi Xinyan's many days of practice paid off. Although her voice transfer was not as good as Su Zhe's, she was still very good and showed the fairy spirit of "Rolling Bead Curtain".

This made her popular, and she won the championship in one fell swoop, becoming the champion of the first "Chinese Song and Dance".

After the program was broadcast, "Rolling Bead Curtain" also attracted a certain amount of attention and became quite popular:

[This is the first time Su Zhe has written a song for someone else. Qi Xinyan must be so lucky! 】

[Su Zhe’s performance is stable and the lyrics are so beautifully written. His lyrics level is lower than that of his peers. 】

[How about calling him a music poet? 】

This is Su Zhe, otherwise it would be difficult for a songwriter to have such high attention.

Regardless of the usual calls of music daddy and lyricist daddy, the fans and income of songwriters are far less than those of singers.

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

【sounds amazing! The new Yan is clearer than the old Phoenix! 】

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

[Qi Xinyan’s voice is so great, no one can sing a fairy-like song like “Rolling Bead Curtain” better than her. 】

Qi Xinyan felt embarrassed when she saw these comments:

"My tutor sings much better than me."

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

"If I want to praise you now, my boss will definitely not undermine you. He also has fans like this."

Of course, Mary Sue will take the opportunity to continuously praise Qi Xinyan. According to the rules, just after the talent show ends, it is when the contestants are the most popular.

For many players, this is the peak of their lives, and they will go downhill every day after that.

Of course, Mary Sue's expectations for Qi Xinyan are more than that, but she must also take the opportunity to continue to promote the show and win more fans for her.

But at this critical moment, Orange Video's virtual idol Tianqiong suddenly released a single - "Rolling Bead Curtain", and it was highly hyped -

"Virtual Idol Beyond the Original Singer: Sky"

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

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

This also caused controversy:

[Qi Xinyan sings with broken notes and mistakes. Compared with her, Tian Qiong sings flawlessly and is much better. 】

[Haha, no emotion at all. Are you listening to the pitch, or the music? Qi Xinyan's version is obviously more interesting. 】

[Emotions are too weak. Listening to singing skills, Tian Qiong is undoubtedly the best. 】

The two sides argued endlessly, and Chengzi once again asked Tianqiong to "cover" all the contestants' original songs.

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, Chengzi's strong marketing capabilities, and the popularity of virtual idol topics, Tianqiong instantly became popular and became a well-known "singer".

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

[Tianqiong sings much better than you. 】

Even on the most popular Weibo post of Qi Xinyan, someone said:

[The sky is the future, and he can sing much better than you! 】

This caught Su Zhe's attention. He looked at the performance contract for "Chinese Song and Dance" and immediately discovered the clue:

The music variety show must have the rights to broadcast the songs, otherwise how can the program be broadcast?

However, the copyright is still in the hands of the original creator, and variety shows do not have the right to allow other singers to sing. Logically speaking, they cannot use their original songs to deceive contestants and cultivate their own idols.

The problem is - the sky is not a person! It is essentially just a computer program.

Through the contract (which allows Party A to post-process the song before broadcasting it), Orange Video allows Tianqiong to use AI synthesized sounds to "cover" songs, which is similar to post-tuning for singers and does not violate the law in principle.

But in the actual promotion, they used Tianqiong as a personified virtual idol to promote the cover song and also dissed the original song.

Su Zhe was very impressed:

“Are they the ancient Greek gods who were responsible for exploiting loopholes?”

And from a wrist perspective, Orange Video’s operation is much smarter than that of a stupid penguin holding up a virtual idol in his previous life.

Stupid Penguin allowed virtual idols and real contestants to compete on the same stage, and the song was poor but it was still a tough one. It didn't win many fans at all, and it became a villain that all other fans were hostile to.

On the other hand, Orange has Tianqiong as a mentor, giving scores in terms of pitch and other aspects. Not only does it have a higher status, but it will not be hostile to the fans of the players;

What's even more awesome is that in his pitch scoring, he gradually made the audience accept that all human singers make mistakes, and only AI like him can sing flawlessly;

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

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. It's all very simple.

Only works are the lifeblood of virtual idols.

"That's really smart." After Su Zhe figured it out, he couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder the players are so generous. The champion is given to Mary Sue to sign a contract."

He asked Du Kang that the "Chinese Song and Dance" program team didn't know these things. It was the manipulation of Orange Universe, a subsidiary of Orange Video in charge of [Metaverse].

Du Kang was also very angry:

"I just realized that this show and all the contestants are just blood bags and victims of Tianqiong! Their goal is still virtual idols. This is a bigger market than the music variety show. It is said that it has something to do with the concept of the metaverse. related."

Su Zhe had heard of the Metaverse, and it had been popular in his previous life. It was actually virtual reality, similar to the virtual cabin online games in online literature - from this aspect, Huaxia Online Literature was leading the world.

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

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

This has caused the concept of the Metaverse to become a hot investment, and people can make money by touching it. I wish everyone selling fried skewers would talk about the Metaverse, with the goal of opening a fried skewer shop in the virtual world.

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

After all, AI and the Metaverse do not conflict. The latter is even a bigger concept, but the progress of the former is more gratifying.

The above are Su Zhe's half-understood memories. He is not a professional and is not sure whether what he knows is correct, but he is very sure that the Metaverse is a hot topic in the current world and involves huge interests.

In the face of such huge interests, Orange Universe doesn't care about Su Zhe, nor does it care about "Chinese Song and Dance", nor does it care about Qi Xinyan.

But Qi Xinyan cares.

She was devastated. The original song "Qianying" that she was most proud of in her life, and the song "Rolling Bead Curtain" given to her by her idol Su Zhe, were both one of the most precious memories in her life.

But they were all snatched away by Tianqiong using legal means and became the other party's masterpiece!

As Tianqiong becomes more and more popular, her original song is remembered less and less.

——Like "Once Upon a Time" and "You Are My Eyes", do you know the original singers of these songs?

Qi Xinyan was so angry that she couldn't help but cry in the recording studio while preparing her new album.

Compared to Maomao in her previous life, she felt more desperate——

What is more terrifying than greedy capital is greedy and smart capital.

But what can she do? Regardless of whether she is stupid or smart, she cannot compete with the power of capital.

But she signed a Mary Sue.

No one told her, but 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 online marketing and publicity, they are not bad at all.

After all, it is a brokerage company, and this is one of their jobs.

Since there is a contract, Mary Sue cannot take back the copyright from Tianqiong, but she can constantly remind the audience to prevent them from forgetting the original song.

This is enough. Su Zhe has no intention of completely overthrowing Tianqiong - virtual idols can't bring down the house, so how can they fight against the gang? The bad luck charm is useless. Should he shut down the server?

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

And with this power, Tianqiong's fans will naturally be blocked.

Orange Video once again used the old method——

Compare the AI ​​and real people, use the cover to sing the original song!

Since there is no way to throw away the hat of cover song, let’s completely overwhelm the original singer!

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

There are also various reviews of god-level covers. It is said that Tianqiong's cover crushes Qi Xinyan and creates momentum for virtual idols to be the future.

Qi Xinyan’s fans are also trying to refute:

[Those broken sounds and gasps contain Qi Xinyan’s emotions, which makes us fall in love with this song; and Tianqiong’s emotionless singing style has no emotion at all, no matter how perfect it is. 】

[Yes, not only Qi Xinyan, but also many songs. Even if they are sung by the same singer, the most popular ones are not the flawless versions in the studio, but the more emotional live versions. 】

It’s still a debate about feelings vs. singing skills.

The two sides argue fiercely, but in emotional discussions, the public is always justified and the mother-in-law is justified, but technical discussions have clear data and are very objective.

Therefore, when actually listening to songs, most people are actually emotional; but in debates, the winner is often the vocalist.

This time, Qi Xinyan fell behind again.

Fans of Tianqiong even announced:

[Virtual idols are the future, Tianqiong instantly kills all the singers in the industry! 】

[Tianqiong is not targeting anyone, everyone here is rubbish! 】

Fans are easy to take advantage of, and it's normal for them to talk big words. Even if it's Sugar Cane, there are still people who show off Su Zhe's achievements all day long, as if they regard it as their own and are proud of it.

But the main characters usually don’t accept such words, otherwise it will become a black mark, but Orange Universe does not belong to the idol circle and does not understand this, so it even used the official Weibo to like the "instant kill theory".

This is aimed at everyone in the music industry.

Including Su Zhe, who is currently the most popular in the industry and firmly ranks first.

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

[Instant kill? Listen to the instructor’s original song! This is the version that the instructor sang casually in order to demonstrate to me before the finals. I am just a toddler in Handan. 】

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

The singing sects listened to it once and analyzed it again using pitch analysis and other methods, but they were surprised to find:

[Su Zhe’s singing skills are better than Tianqiong! The pitch is consistent and can be transposed to make it more mellow and beautiful. 】

[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! 】

[Menghui Yangwu, isn’t Su Zhe’s singing skills so good? I know he is very powerful, but to be able to defeat Tian Qiong, who is said to be invincible in singing skills, is too exaggerated. 】

The sentimentalists were even more shocked:

[His emotions are more delicate than Qi Xinyan's. It turns out that the qualities we like about Qi Xinyan are all because she imitated Su Zhe. 】

[I never tire of listening to it. Sorry, Sister Qi, this version will become my favorite from now on. 】

——Qi Xinyan replied: [It is also my favorite. 】

The emergence of Su Zhe's version instantly unified the two factions of singing skills and emotions, allowing them to form a unified opinion:

[Singing skills and emotions, we adults have to choose from them! 】

[It turns out that above the singing school and the emotional school, there is also the great devil Su Zhe! 】

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

As a singer, Su Zhe has always been more clearly labeled as "original" and "creative talent". Generally speaking, fans have lower requirements for the singing skills of singer-songwriters.

On the contrary, this conceals his equally unparalleled singing skills and singing skills, that is, his strength as a pure singer.

——Obviously, he has the top pure ability in the industry, but because his creative ability is too dazzling, he has been ignored by the public. It is a beautiful helplessness.

And this time, through comparison with Tian Qiong, who is the top singer, fans finally realized that even if they only watch "singing", Su Zhe is a well-deserved devil!

[Brother, I always thought I liked you, but I didn’t expect that I have always looked down on you! 】

Fans chanted the treasure idol.

Su Zhe also shouted:

"[The Great Demon King of Music]'s character design? Is there any unexpected surprise?"
