The main reason why Zhao Yi asked every album produced by artificial intelligence to be high-quality is that he was tired of the music company's practices. An album with only one or two songs was considered decent, and the rest could be classified as garbage. kind.
It is said that consumers are asked to pay for an album, but in fact it is just selling one or two title songs. This behavior is suspected of deceiving consumers.
However, their statement is understandable to Zhao Yi. After all, it is quite difficult to write good songs. Many people only write one or two popular songs in their lifetime.
If there is no mixing of good and bad, music companies may not be able to survive. Creating a high-quality album only takes years, so how can they make money
Since Zhao Yi uses artificial intelligence to do this, he can avoid the above situation. Not to mention that Qing Ning Entertainment itself has a large number of music creators, the number of songs provided by artificial intelligence is enough to support the company's development and growth.
In fact, Zhao Yi doesn't particularly care how the Qing Ning Entertainment record company is doing. Even if it grows into the world's top record company, the money earned is nothing to him.
What he cares more about is that songs created through artificial intelligence will set off a wave of domestic pop music and enable the development of domestic music to achieve leapfrog development.
What makes Zhao Yi even more concerned is that the dissemination of music is easier than that of movies and TV dramas, which plays a significant role in the impact of our culture on the world.
Many people may fall in love with this country just because of a piece of touching music. If there are more of this kind of music, this impression and emotion will be deeper.
In the previous life, South Korea's pop culture export was very successful, because they themselves had little background. In order to increase their influence, they could create industrialized cultural products.
Although this product has no connotation and is based on eroticism, to be honest, they are relatively successful after all. Although Zhao Yi looks down on this kind of success, it does not hinder the expansion of their global influence.
At a stage when our country's economic strength is rising rapidly and it has reached the stage of transforming economic strength into cultural strength, it is just the right time for Zhao Yi to program artificial intelligence to create music songs.
Moreover, our country's film market has also gained a good share of the international market. If we achieve a breakthrough in the music field at this time, then the improvement of our country's cultural influence will definitely have the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
After Zhao Yi set up the relevant parameters for artificial intelligence to create music, he stopped caring about it and turned around to do other things, hoping to complete the matter at hand as soon as possible.
For example, he is currently busy improving the search accuracy of Qianxun's search engine. At the same time, in order to adapt to everyone's search habits, Zhao Yi has also added an artificial intelligence algorithm. Although it is not very advanced, it has a great impact on user experience. important role.
In addition, image search and video search engines also need to be developed. This work must be done by him. If Qianxun Technology Company is allowed to do it, I don’t know that it will take until the Year of the Monkey to complete this work.
After just a start, Lin Hexia came back from her parents' house. When Zhao saw her, she seemed very happy there, at least the smile in the corners of his eyes could not be concealed.
"Why, you stole honey from your parents' house and ate it, and you smiled so sweetly?" Zhao Yi asked with a smile.
"No, my brother is getting married. I'm going to buy him a house in Kyoto, but my brother is so happy that he has to accommodate me in everything. I finally feel the 'bad breath' coming out of my mouth." Lin Hexia said.
"Look at how petty you are. I guess you just bullied you when you were a child. Now that you are so old, you are still so fussy." Zhao Yi said.
"Tch, you don't know how hateful he was when he was a child. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, this tone finally came out." Lin Hexia was about to tell Zhao Yi about his brother's viciousness, but when he thought about it, he might be accused. He used it to make fun of her, so he quickly stopped it.
Originally, Zhao Yi planned to listen to these gossips, but Lin Hexia actually realized it. It was impossible not to regret it, but he did not insist on asking Lin Hexia to talk about this aspect.
Anyway, these are her family affairs, and she is now an adult. The conflicts she had as a child are nothing now. Who didn't have naughty times when they were children
As for Lin Hexia's talk of giving his brother a house, this is no problem for Lin Hexia. Not to mention the funds she put in the stock market, her salary and bonuses are enough to bear the cost.
Although Kyoto has developed very rapidly in recent years, commercial housing has not yet been opened. Although Chinese housing companies are buying land and building houses in China, in fact, these are not commercial housing, because they are not used for buying and selling, but for renting. .
So Lin Hexia bought a house for his brother, probably buying a courtyard house or buying land to build a house. However, this is very difficult, but if they really want to do it, they can still do it.
"Then what are your plans today? Are you going to stay at home with me, or go shopping? There are quite a lot of shopping malls here in Kyoto, and trading companies have built many business districts here." Zhao Yi said.
After listening to Zhao Yi's words, Lin Hexia was quite moved. Although there are many shopping malls like this in Hong Kong, it is actually quite troublesome for her to go out every time. She usually doesn't go out if she can.
Even if you want to buy clothes, you have to ask brand clothing stores to send clothes to your door to try on, but it is different in Kyoto. You don’t have so many worries when you go out, and you don’t need to bring a large number of security personnel with you.
But then I thought about it, Zhao Yi was so busy during this period, he probably didn't want to go shopping with him. Even if he was dragged by him, he probably still couldn't let go of work.
Thinking of this, Lin Hexia said: "Forget it, shopping is actually not that interesting. Anyway, there is no shortage of clothes to wear. How about you go to the movies with me? I heard that Qing Ning Entertainment Company has a new movie released."
Hearing what Lin Hexia said, Zhao Yi did not refuse. After all, watching movies did not take him much time, and he did not need to go out because there was a cinema at home.
As for what movies Qing Ning Entertainment has released, Zhao Yi really doesn't know, but according to convention, Qing Ning Entertainment's newly released movies will be sent to Zhao Yi.
So the two of them came to their own movie theater. The area was relatively smaller than that of a regular movie theater, but all other facilities were built according to the top standards, and the experience was no worse than that of a regular movie theater.
"Xiao Ling, help me play the movie recently sent by Qing Ning Entertainment Company." Zhao Yi said to the air.
As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl's voice rang out and replied: "Okay, I will play it for you right away."
The movie screen immediately lit up, and then started playing a new movie from Qing Ning Entertainment. As soon as Zhao saw the name of the movie, he realized that this might be an original movie story from Qing Ning Entertainment, called "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Since there are a large number of rare and exotic animals in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", if you use ordinary shooting techniques, the photos will definitely not look good, but if you use special effects, the effect will be shocking.
Then the two found a seat and sat down. Before putting on the 3D eyes, Lin Hexia asked: "Is this controlled by artificial intelligence?"
"You're right. In fact, the entire new residence is under the control of artificial intelligence. I just moved here and didn't have time to show it to you.
Not only was my house taken over by artificial intelligence, but Jin Yu's villa was also taken over, which greatly improved the house's protective capabilities. " Zhao Yi said.
Hearing what Zhao Yi said, Lin Hexia nodded without saying anything more. She put on her 3D eyes, found a comfortable position, leaned on Zhao Yi's arm, and "concentrated" on watching the movie.
When Zhao saw Lin Hexia like this, he had no choice but to put on 3D eyes, found a relatively comfortable position, and rested his head on Lin Hexia's head. The two of them didn't speak, and just watched the movie in silence.
The story of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was rewritten by Qing Ning Entertainment Company. Although it involves many rare and exotic animals in the original work, the story context is completely new.
This is not surprising. If you want to attract the audience, you must have a story, not a pile of special effects. Since the film shows a large number of rare and exotic animals described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is nothing wrong with calling it "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" .
The story begins with a tribal war. The film opens with a fight involving landslides and earth-shattering. As a result, both warring parties failed to win and suffered heavy casualties, so they all retreated.
Then the story is told from the perspective of an ordinary village of the tribe. The protagonist lives in this village. Due to the huge trauma caused by the previous war, the whole atmosphere fell into a sense of sadness.
The destruction and tragedy caused by the war are shown from all aspects. The protagonist's biological father also participated in this war, but of course he failed to come back.
Therefore, the protagonist has to bear the burden of life at a young age. In addition, he also needs to practice martial arts with the elders in the village every day. His life is so peaceful and difficult.
One day when the young man was hunting in the wild, he lost his way and lost contact with the large group. So he desperately searched for the marking point, but still found nothing.
This marked that he was completely lost in this dense forest. After that, he encountered various rare and exotic animals. Relying on his flexible skills and clever mind, he saved the day one after another, and in the process, he constantly changed. powerful.
And in the process, he also met Qing Ling, a girl who had the same experience as him, but what troubled him was that this girl came from the other camp in the previous war.
After some questioning, the girl came to hunt mainly because there were no men in her family anymore, and her mother was ill, so she could only go out hunting with the village team to maintain the family's livelihood.
The two sides who were originally hostile to each other had a common encounter. Although this encounter was brought about by each other, in the dense jungle, they could only cling to each other to ensure the safety of both parties.
So the two parties entered a stage of mutual cooperation. Although they were suspicious of each other, after a series of concerted efforts, the trust between the two parties became stronger and stronger, and their feelings grew.
A few years passed in a blink of an eye, and the two of them had no hope of going back, so they got married under the moonlight on a full moon night.
Soon they had their own baby. Seeing that the baby was very small and could no longer wander around like before, they found a relatively safe place to settle down.
As a result, when Zhao Yi was about to read on, the movie ended. Zhao Yi couldn't help but cursed, "What the hell is this?" It felt like the story had just begun and it was over.
Obviously, Lime Entertainment plans to create a series of movies, but at least the story of a movie should be relatively complete, so that it can be called a movie.
As a result, Lime Entertainment adopted the fragmented literature model of the previous life, and it clicked at the critical moment. If you want to see the rest of the story, you have to wait for the next one.
Hearing Zhao Yi swearing curse words, Lin Hexia said: "I think this is good. Two couples with hostile forces stay in this paradise, avoid the disputes in the outside world, and live their own happiness peacefully. Calm days.
And although the story seems a bit cliche, coupled with the cool special effects, it is actually successful as a commercial blockbuster. At least I didn't feel boring after watching it.
You see, the place where they live is like a fairyland on earth. If we could live here, we would definitely be very happy and satisfied, and we would not want to go back to the original world of strife. "
Hearing what Lin Hexia said, Zhao Yi calmed down. Although it is true, with its excellent special effects technology, various thrilling adventures, and strange beasts, it will definitely win the favor of some audiences.
However, their ability to tell stories did make Zhao Yi feel unsatisfied. The film felt like it was piled up using special effects. The story did not have much creativity and depth, and it was considered a semi-finished product.
It seems that it is necessary to let artificial intelligence write it yourself. At least the plot written by artificial intelligence is quite exciting, with constant big and small plots, which can stimulate the audience's desire to read more.
Even the short stories interspersed in it are still very philosophical and can make people think. If these are adapted into movies or TV series, the ratings will not be bad.
Of course, the more complex the plot of the movie, the better. Many movie creators are very satisfied with it. However, many audiences do not buy it because they want to express too much and do not highlight any key points.
This will cause the audience to not be able to figure out what the movie is trying to express from the many metaphors, and even dull viewers will not be able to figure out what the movie is trying to say.
Perhaps Qing Ning Entertainment's first step in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was to express the beauty of peace. If viewed from this perspective, it was indeed successful, and it also paved the way for the disputes in the second part.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi didn't say anything else. No matter what Qing Ning Entertainment did, even if he had ideas, he didn't intend to remind or interfere. He couldn't be a nanny for the rest of his life.
And as their original special effects blockbuster, regardless of success or failure, it has finally taken the first step. If it fails, it will learn lessons, and if it succeeds, it will also analyze the reasons.
After watching the movie, Zhao Yi returned to the studio and was busy, while Lin Hexia found a comfortable seat in the studio, picked up the tablet, and was quiet, occasionally handling company affairs.
A week passed peacefully like this. While Zhao Yi was busy, Qian Zhiyuan, the president of Qing Ning Entertainment Company, finally called and told Zhao Yi what happened to the record company.
It turns out that artificial intelligence sends an album to Lime Entertainment Records via email every day. It did not attract the attention of the record company at first, although every song in each record is very good.
But they had no intention of producing this album because they couldn't find out who the creator was, so there was no way to confirm the copyright or pay the copyright fee to the other party.
As a formal enterprise, it attaches great importance to copyright issues that ordinary enterprises cannot match. No matter how tempting the cake is, it must resist eating it, otherwise it will cause huge trouble.
But since that day, an album will be sent to this email address every day. It has lasted for a full week, and it seems that it will continue.
This immediately made the record company undecided. If it were one or two high-quality albums, it would be fine, and there wouldn’t be much loss if they didn’t produce them. But according to this trend, if there is a high-quality album every day, the benefits would be huge.
According to the quality of these albums, it is not a big problem to make a profit of about 100 million yuan per album, so even if the profit is tens of billions of yuan a year, no one can ignore it.
But they are afraid that there are traps in it. After all, no one will be nice to others for no reason. They will definitely ask for something. If the price is clearly stated, everyone can still negotiate. The most fearful thing is this, leaving people at a loss.
So the record company reported the situation to Qian Zhiyuan directly and did not dare to go through an intermediary to convey the news.
After Qian Zhiyuan heard about the situation of the record company, he went to check it out in person. He listened to almost every song and confirmed that they were all excellent songs. This made Qian Zhiyuan both excited and a little panicked.
He couldn't make up his mind, so he called Zhao Yi directly. The big boss could only make the decision himself.
After listening to Qian Zhiyuan's story, Zhao Yi said calmly: "You can feel free to use the songs sent from this email address in the future. You don't have to pay copyright fees. You can register the copyright yourself."
Qian Zhiyuan on the other end of the phone heard Zhao Yi say this and was silent for a while, then asked carefully: "Is this okay?"
"You don't have to worry so much, just do as I say. Just write 'Anonymous' in the songwriter column." Zhao Yi said.
Since Zhao Yi emphasized that he didn't need to take care of it so much, Qian Zhiyuan still felt uneasy, but he still agreed. He had reported the problem and made the decision to the boss. If there was a problem in the future, his responsibility would be much smaller.
Even if something went wrong in the future and he was asked to take the blame, he would admit it. With the boss's temperament, he would take the blame and compensate him in other ways.
Zhao Yi didn’t know what Qian Zhiyuan was thinking, so he continued: “You let the record company create different music teams and train different singers according to the music style.
Moreover, great efforts must be made to discover musical talents, and the recruited singers must be continuously trained, as the good ones will not go far.
You can cooperate with domestic music academies to provide long-term training for its musicians, and arrange for them to take classes when they are free. "
Qian Zhiyuan certainly had no objection to what Zhao Yi said, because each album has a specific style. Even if Zhao Yi didn't ask, the record company would do it. They still have this professionalism.
As for why he emphasizes professionalism, it's because Zhao Yi is tired of the fact that in his previous life, no matter what kind of cat or dog he was, he was able to release albums, and his singing was also terrible, and no one could sing live.
And these people, on the contrary, took away the jobs of professionals. Since they can make the decision in this life, of course they hope to change this habit to avoid excessive capitalization and a bad impact on society.
After hanging up the phone from Qian Zhiyuan, Zhao Yi sat on his seat and thought for a while. He felt that there was nothing wrong with doing this. Only God knows and there is no need to explain to others.
Lime Entertainment Records, which has this resource, will definitely explode in the future. According to more than 360 high-quality albums a year, it can create hundreds of music teams for the record company.
If these music teams operate very well, the domestic music market will enter a prosperous period. As for whether there will be piracy issues, Zhao Yi thinks it is possible, but the impact will not be big.
Nowadays, the country pays more and more attention to copyright and other intellectual property rights. If you want to piracy, the punishment and investigation will be very strong. At least, piracy will not be sold openly like in the previous life.
More importantly, the income of domestic people is also becoming more and more abundant. For example, the price of an album is only 10 yuan, and the average price of each song is 1 yuan. If you buy the electronic version, the price is even cheaper, only 0.5 yuan per song, the price Half the price.
In addition, people do not need to worry about education, medical care and pensions, and their willingness to spend money is much higher than in previous generations, which has an inhibitory effect on the emergence of piracy.
After all, the domestic market is not the main market for Qing Ning Entertainment Records, at least not yet. Overseas markets will be the main target in the short term.
In response to this situation, among the songs created by Zhao Yi using artificial intelligence, 40% of the songs are in line with European and American music styles, and there are also English songs and songs in other languages.
When the domestic music market expands, artificial intelligence will slowly lower this ratio, or increase the number of music creations, so that both the domestic market and overseas markets can be taken into consideration. (End of chapter)
