In a commercial building in West Asia, inside the office building of an AI company.
In a huge and extremely luxuriously decorated recording studio, the top team from the Grammys are making final adjustments for the eight-to-four competition of AI robot Zero.
Benny Knox, the three-time Grammy winner for Best Composer, with orange hair, sat in the C seat: "That song is decided!"
Everyone in the team has won at least one Grammy award.
Everyone seems very satisfied with this song called "Boom".
"Okay! I like this rock-style song! I believe that this song is a Grammy Award-level work!"
"This time it's Qi Ji from China. I've listened to a few of his works, and I really like the Chinese-style "Blue and White Porcelain". I don't quite understand the translation of the lyrics, but I like the overall melody very much."
"It should not be underestimated, but it should not be taken too seriously."
"It just depends on what language Qi Ji can sing!?"
"According to his style in this competition, he should be able to sing in English, right?"
At this time, the door to the room was pushed open.
A wealthy man from West Asia, who is also the owner of this company, walked in wearing a simple white T-shirt.
He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I have listened to the new song you sent, it is very good music! I will also put my words here. If we, No. 0, can successfully enter the Asian semi-finals, your bonus will be
It will be this number!”
The wealthy man compared a number that stunned everyone.
After the rich man finished speaking, he left slowly.
Several people now are considered top-notch producers in the European and American music circles.
There are many kings and queens who have made albums.
But after all, they are the people behind the scenes, so the money they receive is not that much.
Therefore, after seeing the number given by the rich man, the bloodlines of several people suddenly swelled.
Top songwriter Benny Knox sat on the sofa, took two deep breaths, then slammed the table and said: "Brothers, let's change songs!"
When several people heard his words, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Are you going to pull out that song?"
"Is it the iceberg song?"
“Are you really going to bring out all the melodies you’ve got at the bottom of your box?”
"Ah ha ha ha! Sure enough, money is everything!"
Benny Knox faced everyone and nodded seriously.
As a professional composer, who doesn’t have two top-notch songs in their hands?
And this song "Iceberg" by Benny Knox was written by him five years ago.
Although it has not been published publicly, many professionals in the industry have heard of it.
For example, the top European and American diva Shalan once offered a high price to buy his song.
But he didn't agree.
But all the refusals are actually... because the money is not enough.
So this time after learning about the conditions offered by the rich man, Benny Knox no longer hesitated and directly came up with a song that has the best reputation in the industry in the past ten years!
Half an hour later, Benny Knox brought "Iceberg" to meet the wealthy boss again.
"Oh? You want to change the song? Why do you say that suddenly? Didn't you do a good job with the previous one?" the rich boss said with a half-smile.
Benny Knox played the song "Iceberg" directly, and then said: "Boss, what do you think of this song?"
The boss nodded and said: "It sounds great! I like this rhythm very much!"
Benny Knox said: "How does it compare to the previous one?"
"If you ask me to choose, I will definitely choose this song!"
"OK! It's settled then! I will definitely lead our No. 0 to reach the semi-finals! Successfully get the tickets for the World Championship!"
Benny Knox is confident.
The boss sat on his chair, looking thoughtfully at Benny Knox's disappearing figure with great interest.
To be able to get involved to this extent, he certainly knew Benny Knox before hiring him.
It can be said that he knows everything about Benny Knox.
So for the song "Iceberg" by Benny Knox, he already knew about the existence of this song.
I spent a little bit of my pocket money today, boy, are you taking out your good stuff?
Someone from the music industry?
But that's it.
…
…
Qi Ji has been at Sori Entertainment these days.
Mainly, I had several days of meetings with the crew of "Unnatural Death".
The two parties communicated about the details of the drama.
Then the matter was officially announced.
Chinese netizens are very excited.
"???Is there still such an operation?"
"Is the screenwriter of this drama Qi Ji?"
"I'll go! Teacher Qi Ji has something!"
"Are you planning to expand Miracle Entertainment to the entire Asia?"
"My dear! Misato Ishihara, I like it very much! Will Qi Ji appear in the role this time? Or is he just writing a script?"
"It's really a long time coming. Is this kind of cooperation possible?"
Neon netizens were shocked.
Because this is indeed the first time for the film and television drama circles of the two countries!
"I'm optimistic about Qi Ji's screenwriting ability! Personally, I like the Fengshen series very much!"
"This collaboration is due to the fact that the two movies of Fengshen are so popular here!"
"I think this Qi Ji is really going to rise in Asia!"
"He is really strong! After all, he beat up Mr. Tamaki Aota!"
"In the next few days, eight will advance to the top four in the King of Singing Competition. I want to go and watch Qi Ji sing live!"
time flies.
There are only two days left before the eight-to-four match.
Qi Ji and his team came outside the competition venue to participate in the regular pre-match press conference.
Different from the previous times, this time, the person sitting next to him was not a living person.
Although he is still his opponent.
But this time, on the chair next to him is a cartoon doll belonging to AI Zero.
And a screen that can display the virtual image of No. 0.
Journalists enjoyed teasing this so-called AI robot.
So someone asked: "Number Zero, do you think you can win the championship this time?"
Zero: "Sure, why not?"
A reporter from Neon Country asked: "What do you think of your opponent this time, Qi Ji from China?"
Number Zero: "He is a singer, an actor, a director, a writer, a screenwriter, a professor, a creator, and a pianist."
Zero's mechanical voice has no emotion at all.
Qi Ji sat aside. From the other party's answer, Qi Ji probably had some guesses.
Judging from the way the other party talks about his so-called identity in such a mechanical way.
This so-called AI intelligent robot No. 0 is actually not that high in intelligence.
At least at this moment, when facing so much media, it seems to be just a slightly intelligent program.
Soon, reporters' cameras were focused on Qi Ji.
[Teacher Qi Ji, do you think the opponent next to you is strong? After all, she directly eliminated another female singer from your country!]
Qi Ji said: "It's not so much that No. 0 is strong, but the team behind it is strong, right? Haha, we are not fools."
When the reporter from China saw Qi Ji speaking so straightforwardly, he kept blinking at Qi Ji across from him. Qi Ji smiled and said, "Madam, do you want eye drops?"
The female reporter was about to burst into tears immediately: "No, Qi Ji, you are facing so many media, you should be more careful when you speak!"
Qi Ji laughed loudly: "What I said is the truth!"
The female reporter directly covered her face, feeling ashamed.
Qi Ji's remarks were immediately widely reported by reporters across Asia.
Netizens in Kimchi Country laughed miserably.
"This Qi Ji is a fool, isn't he? If he talks like this, isn't it just a slap in the face of the tycoon from West Asia?"
"Qi Ji, a Chinese, is really too arrogant? When he goes to Qatar to sing the opening song of the World Cup, he won't be beaten, right?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Even though I say that, I'm so sore!"
Neon country netizens.
"I also feel that this number zero is very ordinary. There is nothing like it in the advertisement. It is so awesome!"
"Qi Ji just told the truth! This No. 0 just relied on the training of the team behind him! It's just a program, nothing more than that!"
"But the team behind the scenes is truly the top team at the Grammys!"
Chinese netizens.
"Always support Teacher Qi Ji!"
"Teacher Qi Ji is currently participating in the competition on behalf of our country! Everyone just needs to remember one thing! That is, everything Teacher Qi Ji said is absolutely correct!"
"Beat this No. 0 hard and avenge Teacher Xiaoyu!"
Zheng Yingyu also forwarded the relevant reports in a timely manner, and then said: "Brother Qi Ji, come on! You must get tickets for the World Championships!!"
Just in the midst of everyone's high expectations.
The eight-to-four competition has finally officially begun!
Qi Ji was sitting in his lounge, slowly eating a banana.
Even though the live broadcast camera had already broadcast this scene of him, he still did it in a leisurely manner.
Audiences from all over Asia gathered in the live broadcast room.
Qi Ji and No. 0 are the second pair of contestants to appear tonight.
Some of the more than 30,000 Neon Country spectators at the scene had already entered the venue holding Qi Ji's light signs.
Obviously, after this period of fermentation, Qi Ji's popularity in Neon Country has made great progress.
The number of followers on his Twitter also successfully exceeded the 20 million mark half an hour before the start of the game.
Many fans were in the live broadcast room, saying that they hoped Qi Ji would win the game tonight and commemorate his Twitter breakthrough of 20 million followers.
Number Zero appeared first!
The song "Iceberg", with Zero's voice that has been trained to the extreme, is particularly pleasant to the ears!
The audience at the scene had a hint of curiosity on their faces.
Although this is not the first time for everyone to hear Number Zero singing.
But every time, when it sang, everyone seemed to pay extremely serious attention to it.
Because of No. 0's timbre, he was taught to be a bit unmasculine and unfeminine.
In other words, many people find it difficult to distinguish its gender when they hear it for the first time.
And its company has never announced its gender.
"It sounds great!"
"It's a song with a super nice melody! But I don't know why, but when I saw it live, I always felt that it was a little less interesting!"
"I feel that this Zero's singing skills are absolutely incredible! But they are a bit too perfect! On the contrary, they lack authenticity!"
"My personal understanding is that it lacks emotion! Does this kind of programmed thing understand love, hate, and hatred? It can't understand it! So no matter how excellent a song is, when it comes into its mouth, it will not understand anything.
It’s just a mixture of simple melodies!”
This time, the reputation of the song sung by Number Zero among the public does not seem to be that good!
Benny Knox was sitting in the audience.
With the help of his rich boss, he successfully got into the position with 1,600 voting rights tonight.
The moment Zero finished singing, he cast his vote for it!
He has confidence on his face!
"Iceberg" is his most proud song!
On this eight-to-four stage, he himself felt that he was overqualified!
But for insurance, he still took it out!
If the show makes such a song, just kill it!
At this time.
Qi Ji took the stage amidst the cheers of the audience.
This is different from the previous scene.
Along with Qi Ji's popularity in Neon Country, it is getting higher and higher.
The applause and cheers at this moment can explain everything!
The light fell on Qi Ji.
The subtitles followed.
"Lemon Tree"!
Lyrics and music: Qi Ji.
Singer: Qi Ji.
"English! Haha! It really is English!"
"I knew it! I already know the tricks of this old boy Qi Ji!"
"It's actually in English! Oh my goodness! If Qi Ji meets some singers from other countries, the scene will be so beautiful that I don't even dare to think about it!"
"Hahaha! How many languages does Qi Ji know!?"
On the stage, Qi Ji spoke.
I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you
The melodious melody, slightly sentimental, and Qi Ji's voice resounded in all the ears.
Such a song describes the mood of a big boy, waiting for his girlfriend to arrive under the sun and rain.
The word "nice" bursts directly into the brains of the audience!
I wonder how I wonder why
Yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
The guests in the commentary box could no longer sit still at this moment.
Everyone stood up.
You look at me, I look at you.
Everyone saw a touch of shock and excitement in each other's eyes.
"It sounds great!"
"Besides how nice it sounds! I really can't think of any other words!"
"Qi Ji's melody writing has reached a new level!"
"Damn it! This song has a faint sour smell of love. What's going on?"
"This is a song about lost love, right?"
The atmosphere at the scene was pushed to a climax as Qi Ji said "I wonder how I wonder why" one after another!
