Urban Sims

In the copy of "Galaxy Legend".

Luo Aixing is 39 years old.

He resolutely embarked on the music industry, and his development in the entertainment industry has been moderate. He has published 23 original songs, 7 of which have sold over 100 million, but in terms of fame, he is still only as good as a third- or fourth-tier small artist on this side of the earth. star.

In fact, his popularity is not as good as some virtual idols.

The number of die-hard fans is only a million or so, which is just a fraction of the number of superstar fans.

Zhou Ming had been watching this scene.

Since he debuted at the age of 20 with a guitar on his back, on the road to pursuing his dream, he has encountered ridicule, the contract traps of entertainment companies, the shady story of talent shows, the bottleneck of song creation, and the He has been ruthlessly abandoned by his agent... Countless times, when he was lost and confused, Zhou Ming thought he would give up, but nearly twenty years later, he always fell and got up again.

Perhaps it is inherited from her mother, but Luo Aixing's musical talent is actually very good. She has a good voice with a moving chorus, can hit high notes, and can sing songs of any style. Her appearance is not bad either, comparable to Zhou Ming's Xiaoxian. The meat, but I don’t know why, is not red.

"Perhaps it's because in a population of tens of billions, there are so many talented people. As a result, he can be at the top, but he can't be the best, and he will always be in the third or fourth tier."

Of course, another factor is that in the future, female idols will be far more popular than male idols. Because women have gentle voices and gentle personalities, they are more popular with the public and have a higher chance of becoming famous.

As for male idols, big men don’t like them, and there will occasionally be a few nymphomaniacs among female fans because he is handsome enough.

In fact, it is not just in the entertainment field. In the 1,500 years since the establishment of the Blue Star Federation, more than half of the nearly 60 presidents elected by the parliament were female presidents, and many key government positions were also held by women.

Even, due to some advantages, within the Blue Star Federation, women’s rights tend to overshadow men’s rights...

That's too far.

Zhou Ming now saw that Luo Aixing was preparing to participate in a song talent show called "Superstar Dream".

This program mainly has third- and fourth-tier stars signing up to participate in multiple rounds of knockout matches. Only the player who defeats all opponents and stands at the championship position will receive a superstar contract from a major entertainment company. This contract After signing, the player will receive vigorous packaging and promotion from the entertainment company. The company will give him many opportunities to showcase himself, gain fame, and become a superstar.

However, the qualifying rate for this show is very low. Only one of the 128 contestants can get a superstar contract.

Luo Aixing still cherishes this opportunity and is fully prepared. She practices in the singing room for more than 10 hours every day.

"Little Aixing, how confident are you about qualifying this time?" After finishing practicing, Luo Aixing was doing throat care when a voice rang in her head.

"Grandpa, is this you?"

There was some surprise on Luo Aixing's face. She hadn't heard the old man's voice for several years. The old man appeared again. When he heard his question again, Luo Aixing thought for a while and said, "I don't know. This kind of competition is about original songs." In terms of creative ability and singing skills, I am sure to beat them, but... I have too few original works."

Yes, he inherited his mother's voice talent, but not much creative talent. In the field of music in the future era, singing skills and voice are only the basic prerequisites, and excellent songs are the real soul.

Only people with extremely high creative talents can become famous overnight - even the voice is secondary. With advanced medical correction, anyone can have a good voice.

And why are extremely intelligent virtual idols, no matter how popular they are, still not as good as those superstars in the real world? Because artificial intelligence does not have "talent", or in other words, it does not have the artistic creative ability that only humans have. Art is a need "Imagination", this kind of imagination is only available to the human brain. No matter how powerful the computing power of artificial intelligence is, it does not have this kind of "imagination".

But Luo Aixing's ability in this area is indeed somewhat lacking in talent.

"Little love star, if you really want to become a superstar, grandpa can help you." Zhou Ming thought for a while and said.

Hearing this voice, Luo Aixing's eyes lit up and she blurted out: "Really? Grandpa, can you help me?"

Luo Aixing's face was full of ecstasy. He knew how powerful his grandfather was. He still remembered that when he was 18 years old, his father's mining base was hit by a high-speed meteorite, causing the internal air to leak and the temperature to plummet. His father put on The space suit went for repairs, but the reactor suddenly exploded. He was seriously injured and flew far away. The base, which lost its power supply, was about to collapse completely.

In the end, the old man in his mind helped him and poured a lot of knowledge about mechanical maintenance into his mind. For a moment, he calmed down immediately and took some correct measures. Not only did he save himself, but he also saved the injured person. Dad rescued him... Afterwards, the way his dad looked at him felt a little strange.

Unexpectedly, the old man said that he could also help him on the road to pursuing his music dream.

"Yes, I can help you, but Grandpa has a small condition."

"What are the conditions? Grandpa, tell me quickly!" Luo Aixing asked impatiently.

"Well, I want you to do something for me. As for what it is, I will tell you later. Of course, it is not a particularly difficult thing. You should be able to do it."

"Okay, I promise, I promise you!"

Zhou Ming nodded, bound the [Music Superstar] skill card to his body, and then clicked "Use".

Luo Aixing trembled all over.

In the depths of his mind, countless songs, singing techniques, performance techniques, and advanced ideas suddenly poured out, as if countless music superstars had taken up residence in his brain.

His inspiration came like a tidal wave, pouring into his somewhat dry little pond, and even more plugs couldn't fit it in. He quickly got up, found a work board, and wrote down some lyrics that emerged from the inspiration. , sheet music, melodies, grab them and record them.

But there were too many.

There are just too many.

I can't remember them at all, I don't know how many there are.

It's all in your head!

Unknowingly, tears streamed down my face.

Twenty years.

For the first time, Luo Aixing discovered that she was so close to realizing her dream.

It seems as if he can grab it if he reaches out his hand; as if countless stars will shine for him as soon as he stands on the stage; as if he can conquer the world as soon as he opens his singing voice.

The old man indeed gave him what he wanted most.

"Little Love Star, Grandpa has a few more songs here. You can record them. They are all Grandpa's favorites. Of course, people from your world may not necessarily like them, but it's still okay for you to take them for reference. Don’t you have a shortage of original songs on your hands?”

"Well, yes, thank you, grandpa!"

Therefore, through the exchange of ideas, Zhou Ming passed a dozen of the more classic old songs from this side of the earth, as well as the melodies and compositions, into Luo Aixing's mind and asked him to write them down.

These songs made Luo Aixing overjoyed. It is true that the lyrics of these songs are a bit simple and simple, but the artistic conception is indeed good. Even in his world, they can definitely be called "first-class works".

…

Shortly after.

Yuanzhixing, Sky TV, "Superstar Dream" song talent show, officially launched.

Luo Aixing, who was originally mediocre in strength and influence, seemed to have been reborn and changed his face, passing through all the obstacles and shocking everyone with one original song after another.

"Oh my God, if it weren't for the fact that this is a selection program for third- and fourth-tier stars, I really wonder if the program team really invited a superstar?"

"That's great! Full marks for singing, singing, and performance! In addition to giving full marks, I don't want to give anything less than full marks."

"Although the elimination round has only reached the third round, I am already very sure, who will stand out in this "Superstar Dream" and who will become the real superstar? There is no doubt that he is Luo Aixing!"

"I heard that Luo Aixing's maternal genes come from Mu Xinghua, the queen of Yuanzhixing who was popular seventy years ago? So that's it. I have listened to his mother's songs and was her most ardent fan. In this boy, I see Into his mother’s shadow.”

"In the last round of PK, Luo Aixing defeated his opponent Shi Yuxuan without any doubt. He is the champion of this "Superstar Dream" and he is the future superstar!" the host announced loudly.

"Son, my little baby, you are daddy's pride, daddy is proud of you!"

Under the stage, his father Ronandi, who had put on a designer suit, was in tears at this moment. When he heard his son on the stage say that the person he was most grateful to was his father, under the spotlight, the staff He came onto the stage, and amidst the resounding applause, the father and son hugged each other tightly.

…

This scene made the corners of Zhou Ming's eyes wet, and he was unforgettable for a long time.

"This is the power of pursuing dreams, this...is the joy of success?"

dream?

Speaking of these two words, Zhou Ming asked himself: Do I have a dream?

He shook his head, no, maybe he had before, that is, he wanted to make a lot of money, and he had never thought about anything else.

Nowadays, I am no longer short of money, and my dreams naturally disappear. If I insist that I have them, it is not called a dream, it can only be called a desire.

The desire to clear the dungeon, the desire to control everything, and some mediocre desires.

Therefore, Zhou Ming was a little envious of people who had dreams, but he could not change them.

Because he has something that everyone dreams of having, and he has something precious that countless people have been pursuing throughout their lives.

Wealth, power, status, women... everything.

And dreams that have been realized are not called dreams.

but.

Zhou Ming now finds that it feels good to help others realize their dreams with just a little effort.

"Master, the list you want Yiyi to help select has been selected by Yiyi for you. There are 104 people in total. Do you want to push the website link to them now?"

At this time, the cube on the table nearby suddenly lit up a circle of colored light. Yuanyi appeared in the colored light, wearing a pair of pink-rimmed glasses and holding a book in his hand, and asked lazily.

"Oh, then push it to them, thank you Xiao Yiyi."

"Master, you're welcome. Yiyi will continue reading the novel." The light dimmed, Yuanyi yawned and returned to the square.

Zhou Ming nodded. The screening work had been going on for more than two days. It was time for the technical bomb to explode.
