Chapter 143: Beaten Up By A Native
What does this mean, Yu Wei?
Although “Top Streamer” is a fake competition in his book, the plot that is emphasized is all real stars fighting real stars, and everyone is just here for the fun.
But the latest chapter today suddenly detailed an original star, isn’t this just a native character in the novel?
The entertainment industry has no such person at all, not even finding an internet celebrity singer with the same name…
Yu Wei is no longer satisfied with making up novels and programs, and has entered the stage of making up stars?
“Why Do Stars Care So Much About Ratings?” is originally a fictional entertainment novel, so writing original characters is no problem.
But this instance is a real stars free-for-all, stuffing in a fictional character, who will make up for the lack of immersion?
How does a fictional character sing? They can’t skip the voting segment and directly rig advancement, right? Everyone would riot, black curtain, black curtain!
They are all here for listening to singing, voting, and fun, if a fictional character can’t sing, how can they vote?
“It can’t be that they hired someone else to sing, right?”
“Then the one singing isn’t this character in the novel, if it doesn’t match, might as well not sing.”
“Could it be promoting a company newcomer?”
“A newcomer wouldn’t have zero news searchable, feels like just making up a native.”
Although everyone doesn’t like listening to young fresh meat singing, they at least have songs, directly writing a fictional character inexplicably winning, that’s indeed unreasonable.
Unless he can really make the fictional character sing, otherwise it’s hard to convince the crowd.
But how is that possible…
Although everyone calls Yu Wei the music sorcerer, he isn’t a real magician, can he conjure a person out of thin air?
As Deng Shi’s opponent in this competition, Qi Xi was also confused, why does he always get matched with weird opponents?
Last time competing with Lin Yuting, he still hasn’t recovered, just wanting to get eliminated quickly, but Yu Wei actually arranged a fictional opponent for him…
How to compete like this, directly arrange for the character to advance?
Qi Xi does want to lose, but arranging it like this is a bit too hasty, he doesn’t mind, but Yu Wei arranging the competition like this will definitely get scolded.
If he directly advances without competing, that won’t work either, letting him win without competing, wouldn’t he get called royalty and cursed to death?
Competing with a fictional character, the opponent can’t even be locked, win or lose doesn’t make sense, why does he always encounter this kind of dead-end competition?
He was rigged by the matching mechanism!
Actually, for the first match of the revival match, Yu Wei originally planned to arrange Fei Hong vs Qi Xi, both actors crossing over to singing, which has some gimmick.
But things didn’t go as planned, the fifth episode of “Music Blind Box” hasn’t aired yet, so he naturally can’t release the video of “Someone Like Me” in advance.
This is basic business integrity, releasing it early would definitely affect the program’s ratings.
If Fei Hong doesn’t work, he can only temporarily swap to another contestant, just right to arrange a native singer to hold the fort.
If it’s all real person competitions, what’s the difference from online competitions, as a fake competition in the novel, he must arrange some unique elements from the book.
If not working hard, will become a plaything of novel characters!
That afternoon, Yu Wei went to the company and simply recorded “Bubble” once, he just sang it casually without pursuing perfection.
AI this thing only changes the voice not the singing skill, he has perfectly mastered the song, putting it in this competition is somewhat of a dimensional strike.
To not let the AI exceed too much, he could only sing casually, after all this is just the revival match, if it reaches later rounds or even the finals, he definitely needs to record a better version.
Hope not all get taken out by the native in the end…
That would be a bit too abstract.
Yu Wei went upstairs to the technical department to check, they had tuned the AI model, the timbre is seventy to eighty percent like his impression.
This is just a voice model, AI speaking and AI singing are very different, the underlying architecture of voice models is better at reading aloud rather than singing, the song parts still need Yu Wei to assist in debugging.
After all, technical staff don’t understand music.
Good news is, once tuned, it can be used next time, if luckily advances, no need for this trouble in the next round.
Yu Wei dawdled at the company all afternoon, finally produced a decent product before dark, at least it sounded quite authentic to him.
The only flaw is the singing lacks emotion, but that’s normal, if AI really sings with emotion everyone would be doomed…
At seven in the evening, Yu Wei updated the second chapter on time, finished writing Qi Xi’s performance plot and sent the voting comments, finally uploaded two singing videos.
“Top Streamer Elimination Match Deng Shi’s Contest Song ‘Bubble'”
Readers seeing the new easter egg chapter title were a bit incredulous, what, there really is a contest song?
How does the native in the novel sing, when did the dimensional wall break?
Everyone couldn’t even care about the novel’s main text, first watch this video, they want to see how the native character sings.
The video is very monotonous, no characters or scenes appear, only lyrics scrolling continuously on a blue screen.
The song has no prelude or buildup, completely unlike other singing videos that drag on, starts singing directly.
“Bubbles under the sunlight
Are colorful
Just like the deceived me
Is happy.”
The voice carries a unique nasal tone and resentment, instantly capturing everyone’s attention, this singing method is rare in female singers?
Who is singing this, how have they never heard this voice?
The latter half’s deceived singing has some gravelly feel, this should embody bitterness and fragility, but the AI processing isn’t smooth enough, has a slight stutter.
Insiders hearing this can already tell, but most readers’ reactions aren’t that fast, because they are still enjoying the song.
Yu Wei’s this new song is very interesting, bubbles are beautiful yet can’t be easily touched, because knowing a light touch on the fingertip is disillusionment.
This is using bubbles to metaphor false love?
“Beautiful bubbles
Although a flash of fireworks
All your promises
Although all too fragile.”
As the song progresses, everyone finally came around a bit, the singer’s emotional expression should be getting stronger, this segment is nice, but seems lacking human touch…
This is AI?
How was that voice line tuned, even if it’s a model there must be a reference, the voice is nice and fits the song, don’t know where Yu Wei got such precise inspiration.
Although no so-called emotion, the song’s performance is very good, they clearly felt the song’s emotional buildup, seems brewing for the later explosion.
Yu Wei’s this song’s melody is very catchy, that gradually advancing heart-wrenching feeling is addictive, just see if the next part can connect well…
Sure enough, after continuous “why so sad” high note turns of sound questions, the emotion further sublimates, then enters that shocking climax part.
“All are bubbles, only a flash of fireworks
All your promises, all too fragile
And your silhouette, blame me for not seeing through
That’s why so sad.”
This shout seems to pour out all the song’s emotions, even if AI’s singing lacks emotion, the clean and thorough high note still carries a breakout of the cocoon newborn strength.
Even though AI obviously has flaws, this voice and this song are too fitting, the effect is extremely shocking.
The mistakes instead feel like being on-site, seeing the singer’s subtle tremble after heartbreak forcing strength, the perfect tear at the high note edge.
The song’s climax part Yu Wei spent the most effort, basically one note one tune, just to restore that initial stunning feel.
Just when everyone thought the song’s emotional release ended here, next is an even higher chorus.
“The grasp of love, how to search again”
“Embracing loneliness, isn’t it lonely”
“Love is originally bubbles, blame me for not seeing through”
“That’s why so sad.”
Holy crap, this is human?
This really isn’t…
The song’s high note here turns into a metal drill, not piercing eardrums but straight drilling the heart, reminding of all lies.
It’s the abruptly ended goodnight call, all unread WeChat chat boxes, all unfulfilled promises, also the bubbles rising under sunlight.
Good listen, really good listen, no need to analyze technique and connotation, Yu Wei’s this song gave them a refreshing experience.
Although AI’s voice line has slight flaws, they feel this “Bubble” should be sung by this voice, too fitting.
Similarly love fantasy shattered struggle, but “Bubble” doesn’t have “Red Bean”‘s faint sorrow, instead uses a more direct way, heartbreak and resolution.
Gives netizens the feeling that Yu Wei this kid absolutely intensely self-searched, how does he know everyone mocks his love songs as general…
With this song he proved himself, that complex mood of knowing it’s a lie yet still choosing to believe is very heart-wrenching, even knowing it’s AI, they were somewhat moved.
But “Bubble” is not just a love song, also a revelation of cognitive reconstruction.
Bubbles are destined to shatter, but can’t lack the courage to salvage the broken light spots because of that, Yu Wei this kid really has something.
This is his first song after falling into the argument vortex with Chen Ping, only three days since that performance.
Without a doubt, this “Bubble” completely withstood the pressure and doubts, even AI singing is so shocking, his creative ability is evident.
This song is Yu Wei’s perfect answer sheet.
Some people stopped at the peak, but he has been progressing, surpassing, just a matter of time…
“Although I really don’t want to admit it, but I was conquered by this song, voting for the native.”
“Can you find a real person to sing it? I love this song too much, this sends Deng Shi advancing!”
“Novel character beats real stars, heaven reversed.”
“I thought Yu Wei wanted to rig with author identity, didn’t expect he just wanted everyone to enjoy something good, I’m crying to death.”
“Used AI to tear open the fan circle idols’ fig leaf.”
In the few minutes after the song release, Deng Shi’s votes almost exploded, directly crushing Qi Xi’s muddle-through performance.
This is still the first new song since “Top Streamer” program started, didn’t expect it in this form.
The initial stunning of the new song, plus recognition of Yu Wei’s creative ability, plus a bit of watch-the-fun mentality, made Deng Shi this fictional character’s votes lead by a wide margin.
The native is going to beat real stars…
Qi Xi heard about this and was completely dumbfounded, what, he’s going to be fermented by a novel character Yu Wei casually made?
The song is even sung by AI, not only with obvious flaws, even the performance has no emotion at all.
If he loses this, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing?
A professional star mixing in domestic entertainment, earning money ordinary people may not earn in a lifetime, yet not as good as AI, wouldn’t he get cursed to death by netizens?
Realizing this, Qi Xi felt like a basin of ice water poured from head, spine chilling, even if he wants elimination, this match can’t be lost.
Never competed with AI and lost, he won’t be able to mix in domestic entertainment, Yu Wei’s this move directly maxed the good-for-nothing’s pressure index.
Shouldn’t have entered for traffic back then… feels like Yu Wei is really tricking them in to kill.
Qi Xi while rallying fans to vote-manipulate for him, opened “Bubble” and listened once, the first two lines made his scalp tingle, dao heart directly shattered.
How is it so fitting?
Don’t tell me Yu Wei even custom-makes songs for AI?
Really need to rest a day today, day ten thousand is too draining.
Negative state keeps stacking, one day more tiring than the next, feel like if not resting will transmigrate…
