Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Chapter 147 Who Still Has Dreams?
No wonder celebrities prefer to date abroad. No matter how big a star they are, they become relatively unknown overseas, which definitely makes them more discreet...

Yu Wei was the same; when he went out shopping, no one recognized him. He hadn't had this kind of "showing off" experience in a long time.

Of course, he wasn't there for a date, nor did he have any dates to go on. Yu Wei's main reason for going out was to cooperate with the organizing committee and broadcast his trip to the Luwen Film Festival.

A Q&A session in a hotel would be too boring. Outdoor live streaming is more entertaining and can also give everyone a glimpse into the local customs and culture.

"What do you think should be the title of the live stream?"

Before the broadcast, the organizing committee staff accompanying the team sought Yu Wei's opinion.

The official account for the micro-film competition doesn't have many followers. If they really want people to watch the live stream, they'll definitely have to rely on Yu Wei to attract viewers.

"Do not feed the animals inside."

"This……"

The staff didn't know what Yu Wei was up to, but they didn't have any better options at the moment, so they could only set a title and start the live stream.

Silence. A long silence followed. No new viewers joined the live stream. The group exchanged glances. "Maybe we should change the title?"

"Is it a real person? It looks like an AI?"

Just when everyone was getting a little discouraged, the first comment in the live stream caught their eye; the commenter's nickname was Al2O3.

Alumina, right? Before Yu Wei could reply, the number of viewers in the live stream dropped to zero again.

"What the hell?"

He looked around and immediately understood: it was already noon in China, but it was still early morning in Belgium.

Coupled with its distinct medieval style, people would probably assume it was all generated by AI, given the prevalence of AI-generated live streams these days...

Have I become an AI?
Yu Wei was just thinking of putting a parenthesis in the title saying "not AI" when AlO came back and asked him if he was really Yu Wei.

“I am a fake person, you can call me Yu Wei.”

The staff member holding the portable photography equipment was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to remind Yu Wei not to joke, a comment on the screen said, "Looks like it's him."

It seems that Yu Wei's frivolous nature is already widely known...

As the identity was confirmed, the number of viewers in the live stream gradually increased. Although noon is not a prime time for live streaming, it is definitely much better than working hours.

"It really is Yu Wei. Is this still in China?"

"What 3G network? He went to the Leuven International Film Festival. This should be Leuven, Belgium."

"No wonder the novel update time was so weird last night."

"Overseas? That's great, I'd love to see some foreign women."

Yu Wei frowned, startled by the last comment. This guy really dared to think that way; he really didn't treat his brothers like outsiders...

"Ahem, let's get down to business."

Seeing that the live stream was starting to get on track, the staff quickly pushed out the link and asked Liu Ning to forward it using Yu Wei's work account.

Qi Luoan wasn't idle either; he specially posted a live stream thread in the book club, which interested readers could check out.

The number of viewers in the live stream easily exceeded 10,000. While chatting, Yu Wei contacted the company's technical department to ask them to prepare samples.

Using other people's voices as source material definitely needs to be made clear beforehand, otherwise it could easily infringe on copyrights. He'll just randomly pick a few viewers to connect with later and discuss it face-to-face.

"What did I have for breakfast? Brussels waffles, not bad."

"Whether we can win an award or not, well, there isn't a single Chinese judge. You can judge for yourself."

Whether Nonoguchi Osamu is the murderer or not, of course, is all written in the plot.

"You'll find out who will be written in tomorrow's competition later."

After the number of viewers in the live stream continued to rise to 70,000, the barrage of comments was becoming too fast to keep up with. Yu Wei felt that the time was almost up, so he tentatively brought up his own ideas.

We are actively seeking AI audio materials to participate in the competition and have the opportunity to personally defeat celebrity singers.

Yu Wei's words immediately caused a huge uproar, actually getting netizens to participate in the competition. Is this still a serious competition?
It seems that's not actually the case...

Normally, singing competitions and music talent shows are just for the guests and contestants, and the audience and netizens just watch for fun. I never expected that there would actually be competitions that allow them to participate.

Or in the form of fused materials?

Could it be that Yu Wei overheard them saying "I could do that too"...?

Participating in the competition in person, and possibly even defeating real stars, is quite fun, and there's no real loss. If you're lucky enough to win a championship, they could even put it on their resumes.

Void Champion Advanced Fusion Material!

"I'll start a live stream. Anyone interested can come on stage and read a passage or sing a song. Ideally, you could do both."

The text discusses various technologies and applications, including a feature called "Reading Aloud," "Singing," and "Enriching the Database." It emphasizes the ease of extracting audio from text and the convenience of adjusting models for singing.

Yu Wei started a live stream, but the expected active participation didn't happen; instead, everyone just watched and observed.

No, aren't they usually quite the entertainers? Why are they all so quiet now?
Yu Wei's fan base still has too many otaku (die-hard fans), so singing in a live stream with tens of thousands of people would definitely be a bit awkward.

Some people are willing to do it, but they don't have time right now. It's lunchtime, and after eating, they still have to work like oxen and horses. Where would they find the time to do a live stream?

"None of my fans can sing. If you disagree, come and argue with me."

The barrage of comments that were originally saying "Everyone go first, I'll cover the rear" suddenly turned into a sea of ​​question marks. Is this kid trying to provoke us?

There were still some brave souls in the crowd. Soon, a netizen named "Moyu Xianzun" went on mic and immediately said "Holy crap" three times as soon as he connected with the other side.

"Is it me?"

"It's you. Please begin your performance."

Yu Wei thought he was going to read something else, but instead he started reading the plot of his own novel, making Yu Wei so embarrassed that he immediately put his toes to the ground.

No, let's talk this out, why are we starting a public execution... But the technical department should have started sampling, and Yu Wei couldn't interrupt, so he could only grit his teeth and continue listening.

After reading half a chapter, the Immortal Venerable of the Lazy Fish sang a few lines of a song. A few lines would be enough to fill the database; there was no need to sing the whole song.

"Not bad, I give it 8 points."

"What do you mean 'eight points'? This is called Grade A fusion material."

"Any S-class bros want to show off?"

The singing was indeed excellent, and Yu Wei gave high praise to his performance. Seeing that even a professional singer like Yu Wei said so, the other audience members also began to feel eager to try.

The second person to join the live stream, "Deep Sea Dried Fish," introduced himself as a loyal reader and read aloud a review of "The Tuner."

They also performed exceptionally well in the singing segment, directly challenging the high notes of "Under the Flying Clouds" and managing to sing them, earning them the title of S-level Fusion Material.

"I'm moved to tears. To commemorate your outstanding performance, I'll call myself 'Little Dried Fish' from now on."

Many people previously complained that his fan name "Squid" sounded bad, so he took this opportunity to change it, which also makes it easier to distinguish him from his previous idol, Yu Wei.

If you dare to slander me, go ahead and talk to my million dried fish!
“Who still has dreams?”

Yu Wei and his group took a walk while broadcasting live, passing through Leuven Square and soon arrived at St. Peter's Church.

The rolling red rooftops and the echoing bicycle bells create a scene straight out of an imagined European town.

I'd better not go in. What if there's a priest inside? It wouldn't be good, especially since there was a little boy in his livestream...

The third person I chatted with had the nickname "Zhai Yiyi". When Yu Wei greeted him, he paused for a moment and asked, "Do you pronounce this character 'yi' or 'ai'?"

Other netizens thought that Yu Wei was quite something, as she knew that it was a polyphonic character. Other illiterate celebrities would probably have pronounced it as "zhai cha cha".

Which hater said Yu Wei went to a diploma mill? Step forward!
"May I ask first, is Nonoguchi Osamu actually Hidaka's ghostwriter?"

Zhai Yiyi spent the whole night thinking about the latest chapters two and three of "Malice" last night, as the plot twists were somewhat unexpected.

In the new storyline, the police identify Nonoguchi Shuuji as a suspect. He confesses but refuses to explain his motives. However, the police soon discover evidence that Hidaka forced Nonoguchi to write for him.

Osamu Nonoguchi claimed that he was blackmailed into becoming a "ghost writer" because of his affair with Hidaka's ex-wife, and produced manuscripts and letters, which completely reversed public opinion.

So, the flopper was ghostwritten by a master, and then the flopper, furious, killed the master. Is that right?
He clearly sensed that there was something wrong with Nonoguchi's story, but he could only wait for Yu Wei to update him with the specifics.

This author is a real pain; he keeps digging plot holes and never fills them in, and his updates are so slow. It's driving me crazy!

"Let's not give away any spoilers."

It seems this person is a fan of suspense novels. Sure enough, Zhai Yiyi was reading the plot of "Malice". The rhythm was very good, and it felt like listening to an audiobook.

The fans are all incredibly talented...

Yu Weilian's live stream lasted about three hours, and the viewers all had pretty good voices, with singing skills at least at the KTV level.

But thinking about it carefully, it's obvious that someone who can't sing at all would probably be too embarrassed to go live, and someone who dares to go on mic must have some skills.

These are all top-quality fusion materials; they can be refined in an instant!
"That's all for today's broadcast. See you tomorrow."

Actually, the organizing committee will broadcast it again tonight, but it will be the opening ceremony of the Lu Wen Award. He definitely won't be able to interact with the audience in a formal setting.

After the broadcast ended, Yu Wei didn't dare to wander around aimlessly. Instead, he immediately returned to the hotel to write and released the new chapter of Fei Hong's match.

Because "A Person Like Me" is a bit melancholic, the song didn't receive official recognition like before, but it resonated with many netizens.

Many people seem positive and optimistic, but are filled with confusion and self-doubt. Yu Wei seems to be speaking for everyone, telling them that this sense of ups and downs is not a struggle for one person alone.

As a result, a saying circulates in the industry: in the realm of ordinariness, no one is Yu Wei's match.

After all, many people have found out that the song Chen Ping lost to Yu Wei was on this very theme...

After eating too much rich food, it's time for some snacks.

The AI ​​model developed by netizens should be ready by tomorrow, and Yu Weigao will be able to sing "We Are Different".

The idea of ​​using AI-generated voices from a group of people to sing "We Are Different" is just bizarre...

The Soul Refining Banner began to howl!

"We Are Different" is a typical viral song, and its popularity is closely related to its spread through live streaming platforms, short videos, and social media.

As one of the earlier viral songs, it may be a bit corny, but it does have some merits.

Yu Wei did want to create a few popular songs, but there are differences between popular songs, and he didn't want to choose anything completely worthless; they had to be at least somewhat good.

"The singer's name is Lu Renjia. I wonder if the idol fandom can handle it..."

The news that Yu Wei selected materials for AI during his live stream has already spread throughout China. Netizens have no idea what he's trying to do, but the remaining few who haven't appeared yet are already terrified.

They can tolerate losing to AI, given past examples, but losing to an AI created by a group of netizens is just too much.

At that point, it won't be as good as a netizen's stick.

Why does Yu Wei always come up with such vicious tricks? After finishing the AI ​​match, he even arranged a random match.

Losing to a bot match is considered bad, but losing to random players is just plain humiliating...

The idols clearly didn't want to run into this random AI, and shortly after the live stream ended, they started recommending each other.

It's better to lose to a fellow Daoist than to lose to a mere passerby; it's more appropriate for someone else, someone with outstanding talent, to lose to a stranger.

Who said there's only one AI for random passersby?

Yu Wei smiled maliciously after seeing the news; mass production of that thing would definitely be quick.

I can't speak for other things, but he has a lot of popular internet songs here, more than enough.

Since you're in such a hurry, let's beat each of you up.
