The one who spoke was a future artificial intelligence named 008. As soon as Qiao Yiyi came here, it tried hard to sell its system to her.
Because of her busy work schedule, Qiao Yiyi also likes to read novels privately to relieve stress, and she is quite familiar with the dazzling and powerful systems in novels.
So I heard that 008 recommended her the "animal attribute system" - when she chooses an animal, the characteristics of that animal will be transferred to her, such as a dog's sense of smell, a fish's agile posture, a cat's cuteness, and a bat's ultrasonic sound...
I'm speechless.
Perhaps 008 also knows that her system is useless, so she tries her best to lobby whenever she gets the chance, just like the gym staff who try hard to trick her into signing up for a membership every time they walk down the street.
【Are you really not going to consider trying my system? 】
Qiao Yiyi: "Can you turn me into a chicken drumstick?"
008: […No, this is not a gourmet food system.]
Qiao Yiyi: "Then can you make everyone change their opinion of me?"
008: […No, this isn’t a popular system.]
Qiao Yiyi put down her chopsticks and said, "That's it. This system doesn't suit me."
008: [……]
It suspected that it was experiencing the biggest setback in the history of book-traveling business.
After a one and a half hour break at noon, the program continued recording.
After eating and drinking, Qiao Yiyi felt better and felt that she was fine again.
The first episode adopted a performance rating system.
That is, the contestants will perform stunts individually or in groups, and the mentors and the audience will score the contestants based on their live performances, and finally divide the contestants into five levels: ABCDF.
Qiao Yiyi felt that this competition system was somewhat familiar, and it was very similar to a certain talent show mechanism.
There are 66 contestants in total, and only a small portion was recorded in the morning, so the workload ahead is huge.
The atmosphere in the morning was relatively normal. Some contestants dubbed classic films and TV series, some groups performed a martial arts film segment with their voices, and some imitated singers' singing.
By the afternoon, the painting started to go awry.
Qiao Yiyi felt her fists harden as she listened to a boy on the stage singing "gie gie" in a pinched voice.
The audience in the audience just laughed non-stop, and even the instructors and staff were amused.
Perhaps this wilder approach could make people more impressed and remembered, so the following contestants also began to imitate this practice for the sake of the camera. The content of the performance gradually deviated from the theme of the program, and those who didn't know thought they were watching Happy Comedians.
The instructor was in a dilemma when commenting and didn't know where to start.
If I say it too harshly, I’m afraid of criticizing these contestants and leaving a harsh impression on the audience.
To put it mildly, I'm afraid that it won't be professional enough and will ruin my reputation.
Each of the four mentors spoke vaguely, praising the characters for their innovation, their memories, their humor... In the end, they couldn't continue praising them anymore and changed the subject to ask Qiao Yiyi, "What do you think, Yiyi?"
"Ah?" Qiao Yiyi was suddenly called out and was caught off guard. There was no comment item in the business process.
But facing everyone's expectant eyes, she could only bite the bullet and say, "I think the contestants in these groups all have their own personal characteristics, and the performances are refreshing. However, some of them are off-topic and don't quite match the charming voice the program team is pursuing. They are also not professional enough and not unique enough."
"What if I asked you to rate them?"
Qiao Yiyi: “…F?”
As soon as the words fell, the lively scene suddenly became quiet.
No one expected her to be so straightforward.
One of the contestants raised his hand and said, "Teacher, I have a question. You said our voices aren't professional enough, and they're not the unique voices the program team wants to discover. So, what kind of voice is unique? And what are your criteria for judging it?"
This question is a bit sharp.
The crowd suddenly became lively again.
When the director behind the camera saw this scene, he quickly asked the cameraman to point the camera at Qiao Yiyi.
Qiao Yiyi was stumped by the question. She was certainly not a professional, and the question was quite tricky. Recalling the folk masters and incredible ventriloquist performers she had seen in videos before, she earnestly shared her perspective: "To me, uniqueness is something that no one else possesses, a skill that is unique to you, something that no one else can do and cannot easily imitate."
Contestant: "You mean what I just performed wasn't my own?"
Qiao Yiyi: "Not really. It's just that your performances tend to use popular memes to entertain people rather than the uniqueness of your voice itself."
Contestant: "That means I'm just going through the motions, deliberately creating gimmicks to attract attention."
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
I'm afraid this is just a nitpicker.
Another contestant stood up and said, "I think Teacher Yiyi's point of view is a bit one-sided. She's just expressing her subjective feelings from her own perspective. Of course, it may also be because you're not a professional."
Qiao Yiyi wondered, "Although I'm not a professional, as an ordinary audience member, I still have basic auditory literacy. I know what sounds good and what kind of performances can make people say they're awesome."
After she said this, there was a burst of discussion from the audience.
The mentors exchanged glances with each other, but unexpectedly, Qiao Yiyi spoke out what was in their hearts.
This contestant is also an internet celebrity with millions of fans. He was immediately furious when Qiao Yiyi hit him in the sore spot. He didn't care that he was at the recording site and blurted out: "If that's the case, then go ahead if you can do it!"
His fans in the audience also cheered: "Yeah, if you can do it, go for it."
"Hmm, Qiao Yiyi herself has no work to show for herself, no talent, and can only rely on sensationalism and hype to attract attention, yet she has the nerve to criticize others."
"Of course not. Don't think you're that great just because you're a producer. Don't point fingers at others without looking at yourself in the mirror!"
"Could this be another new hype scheme? The big guys can't afford to touch them, so they're trying to scam the other players. No way, no way? Has Qiao Yiyi fallen to this point?"
"Look at her look today and how she looks now. The clown is herself."
Although the discussions below were chaotic and trivial, they were still heard by everyone intermittently.
Qiao Yiyi stood on the stage holding the microphone. Wherever she looked, she saw the mocking and amusement expressions of the crowd, and from time to time, she could hear some sarcastic voices.
This kind of dramatic incident occurred during the recording of the program. Instead of calling a halt, the production crew pointed the cameras at their faces and filmed them.
For a moment, it seemed as if everyone was waiting to laugh at her.
Qiao Yiyi was so angry that her hands were shaking. All the details of being ignored and embarrassed in the morning came to her mind one by one, especially at lunch. Why did everyone have chicken legs but she didn't?
She was angry and aggrieved.
Just at this moment, the despicable 008 jumped out of her mind and added fuel to the fire.
【Animal attribute system, dedicated to serving you! 】
【Want to feel the freedom and grace of fish swimming in the sea? 】
【Want to experience the casualness and freedom of tigers and leopards running through the forest?】
【Want to know what the night looks like from the eyes of an owl? 】
【Want to have a melodious singing voice like a lark? 】
Wait, lark...
Qiao Yiyi seemed to have grasped a lifeline and asked 008, "You said before that as long as I choose a certain animal, its attributes will be transferred to me. Is that true?"
008: [How could it be false?]
Qiao Yiyi: "For example, if I chose the lark..."
008: [Then you will make clear and melodious bird calls like it.]
Qiao Yiyi smiled with satisfaction, and felt that the world in front of her suddenly became clear.
She said to 008, "Hurry up, I want to try out your system!"
008 is very proud: [What, you don’t dislike it anymore? ]
Qiao Yiyi: "What can I do? You've worked so hard, so I'll just make do with it."
Then, a virtual interface that only Qiao Yiyi could see appeared in front of her eyes. Various animals were displayed on the panel, and under each animal was a column of small text, which introduced their attributes and skills.
When Qiao Yiyi scrolled to the bird column, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Larks, canaries, orioles, parrots, starlings... and many rare birds that we don’t often hear about in our daily lives!
That’s it, that’s it!
Qiao Yiyi raised her head, and her fair neck revealed a beautiful curve under the light.
She seemed to be talking to the provocative contestant, and also to everyone waiting to see her make a fool of herself, and she said confidently: "Okay, if I can do it, I'll go ahead."
What?
Including the contestants and mentors on the stage, as well as the production crew and the audience below, everyone suspected that they had heard it wrong.
What did Qiao Yiyi just say? If she can do it, she can do it.
What is she going to perform for everyone?
Tearing down the trolls and scolding netizens?
Or is it just an awkward acting with only a frown, a dry laugh, and one expression?
Just when everyone was full of questions, a pleasant bird song suddenly came from the stage.
The chirping is melodious, crisp and pleasant.
Some viewers who grew up in the countryside immediately recognized that this was the sound of an oriole.
Did this come from Qiao Yiyi's mouth?
Everyone was in disbelief. The studio, which had been extremely noisy just a moment ago, became quiet again.
Everyone's attention was focused on Qiao Yiyi's mouth, and they discovered that the bird singing sound really came from her mouth.
Qiao Yiyi was also extremely shocked. She didn't expect that what 008 said was true.
This was too magical. She had just chosen the oriole and tried to make a sound, and the bird's cry came out of her throat. If it weren't for the dazzling flash of the camera, she really thought she had turned into a bird.
Qiao Yiyi's blood suddenly began to boil.
Driven by the novelty, she changed to another bird - the thrush.
The sound of the thrush is very recognizable, chirping, a bit like a whistle with a high-pitched upward pitch.
If the audience thought they had misheard just now, when Qiao Yiyi changed several bird calls in succession, her mouth shape changed, and her throat vibrated up and down, they were finally convinced that Qiao Yiyi was really imitating bird calls.
This is really shocking.
Qiao Yiyi actually has this kind of talent.
Then what was her thought process behind her acting like a clown and jumping around so many times?
"Haha, so this is the bird that called on the roof every morning when I was a kid!"
"I used to be woken up by the call of this bird, it was more accurate than the alarm clock."
In the audience, the audience who had just been questioning Qiao Yiyi and making all kinds of comments about her began to discuss what kind of bird call Qiao Yiyi was imitating.
"I recognize this one, it's a cuckoo. I can also cuckoo, cuckoo~"
"This ocarina-like thing is a red-winged green dove. I used to hear it in the woods behind my grandma's house."
"This mynah bird's imitation is too real."
"I suspect there are a lot of birds living in Qiao Yiyi's throat!"
"How many birds did Qiao Yiyi eat?"
"Is this the legendary ventriloquism?"
Qiao Yiyi was a little excited and imitated the calls of more than 30 kinds of birds in one breath.
If her throat wasn't a little hoarse and she wasn't a little thirsty, she felt that she could still fight on.
Zheng Hongyun was like he had found a treasure. He excitedly said to the editor, "Cut this part out separately and post it online after the show is recorded."
After the previous producer was replaced by Qiao Yiyi, he was still very dissatisfied and felt that this season would be a failure again, but now, he seemed to see the dawn of hope.
One of the instructors was Lu Yuanshan, a professor of zoology at a prestigious university, who was privately interested in animal sounds and simulation. Throughout the recording, his expression had been stoic, as if he were being forced to perform. But now, his expression finally changed.
He adjusted his glasses and asked Qiao Yiyi, "How did you imitate these birds so well?"
Qiao Yiyi: Oh no, how should I put this?
She stammered, "Well, I heard it so many times when I was a kid in the countryside that I learned it without realizing it..."
Audience: "Ah, now that you mention it, I remember that Qiao Yiyi is indeed from the countryside."
"Yeah, she was such a beautiful girl when she debuted, how could she be infected with so many bad habits in the entertainment industry?"
Lu Yuanshan nodded: "So that's how it is. This is probably talent, a unique skill derived from talent."
Qiao Yiyi felt a little guilty after being praised.
Those contestants who tried to attract attention and embarrass Qiao Yiyi all blushed when they heard this.
But they were too proud and arrogant to bring themselves to apologize to Qiao Yiyi.
Of course, Qiao Yiyi didn't care.
