Chapter 282 Superstar Dream
A copy of "Galaxy Legend".

Luo Aixing is 39 years old.

He has resolutely embarked on the road of the music world, and his development in the entertainment industry has not been stagnant. He has published 23 original songs, 7 of which have sold over [-] million, but his reputation is still only equivalent to that of third- and fourth-tier small children on this side of the earth. star.

Even, 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 fraction of superstar fans.

Zhou Ming has been watching this scene.

Since he debuted with a guitar on his back at the age of 20, on the road to pursue his dream, he has encountered ridicule, encountered contract traps from entertainment companies, encountered shady scenes in talent shows, encountered bottlenecks in song creation, and encountered many challenges. I have seen the ruthless abandonment of the agent... Countless times, when he was lost and confused, Zhou Ming thought he would give up, but nearly 20 years later, he always fell and got up again.

Perhaps it was inherited from his mother. Luo Aixing's musical talent is actually very good. He has a good voice with a moving voice, can soar high notes, and can sing songs of any style. The meat, but I don't know why, just isn't red.

"Perhaps it's because among a population of tens of billions, there are so many talented people that he can get out of the top line, but he can't get out of the top, and he will always be in the third or fourth line."

Of course, another factor is that in the future era, female idols will be far more popular than male idols, because females have gentle voices and soft personalities, are more popular with the public, and have a higher probability of being famous.

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

In fact, not only in the field of entertainment, in the 1500 years since the establishment of the Blue Star Federation, more than half of the nearly 60 presidents elected by the parliament have been female presidents, and many key government positions have also been held by women.

Even, because of some advantages, women's rights in the Blue Star Federation tend to overshadow men's rights...

Far away.

Now Zhou Ming 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 sign up to participate in multiple rounds of knockout competitions. Only the final player who defeats all opponents and stands in the championship position will receive a superstar contract from a major entertainment company. This contract After the signing, the player will be vigorously packaged and promoted by the entertainment company. The company will give him many opportunities to show himself, let him gain fame, and make him a superstar.

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

Luo Aixing still cherishes this opportunity very much and is making full preparations, practicing more than 10 hours a day in the singing room.

"Little Aixing, how sure are you of qualifying this time?" Luo Aixing, who was doing voice maintenance after the exercise, heard a voice in his head.

"Grandpa is you?"

Luo Aixing was a little surprised. He hadn't heard the old man's voice for several years, and the old man appeared again. Hearing 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 vocal talent, but he didn't inherit much creative talent. In the music field of the future era, singing skills and voice are only the basic prerequisites, and excellent songs are the real soul.

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

And why are virtual idols with extremely high intelligence, no matter how popular they are, they are still inferior to those superstars in the real world, because artificial intelligence does not have "talent", or in other words, does not have the artistic creation ability that humans only have. "Imagination", this kind of imagination, only the human brain has, and 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 Aixing, 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 he blurted out: "Really? Grandpa, can you help me?"

Luo Aixing's face was full of ecstasy. He knew how powerful the old man was. He still remembered that when he was 18 years old, his father's mining base was hit by a high-speed meteorite, which caused the air inside to leak and the temperature plummeted. The space suit was repaired in the past, but the reaction furnace suddenly exploded, causing serious injuries, flying far away, and the base without power supply was about to collapse completely.

In the end, it was the old man in his head who helped him and poured a lot of knowledge about mechanical maintenance into his brain. After a while, he immediately calmed down and took some correct measures, not only saving himself, but also saving the injured. Dad was rescued and came back...Afterwards, Dad looked at him in a weird way.

Unexpectedly, on the road of pursuing music dreams, the grandfather said that he could also help him.

"Yes, I can help you, but the old man has a small condition."

"What's the condition, Grandpa, tell me quickly!" Luo Aixing asked impatiently.

"Well, I want you to do one thing for me. As for what it is, I'll tell you later. Of course, it's not a particularly difficult thing, and you should be able to do it."

"Okay, I promise, I promise you!"

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

Luo Aixing trembled all over.

In the depths of his mind, countless songs, singing methods, performance skills, and advanced concepts suddenly sprang up, like countless music superstars, living in his brain.

His inspiration came, flooding into his somewhat dry little pond like a sea tide, and even too many plugs couldn't fit it, so he got up quickly, found a work board, and put some lyrics that emerged from his inspiration , score, melody, grab them and record them.

But too much.

It's too much.

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

All in my head!

Unknowingly, tears flowed down my face.

20 years.

For the first time, Luo Aixing found that he was so close to realizing his dream.

It seems as if he can grasp it as soon as 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 voice.

Grandpa really gave him what he wanted the most.

"Little Aixing, Grandpa still has a few songs here. You can record them. They are all Grandpa's favorites. Of course, people in your world may not like them, but you can use them for reference. Aren't you short of original songs in your hands?"

"Well, yes, thank you, grandpa!"

So, through the exchange of ideas, Zhou Ming sent more than a dozen classic old songs and melody compositions from this side of the earth to Luo Aixing's mind, and asked him to memorize them.

These songs made Luo Aixing overjoyed. It is true that the lyrics of these songs are a bit plain and simple, but the artistic conception is really 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.

Originally of mediocre strength and average influence, Luo Aixing, as if she had been reborn and changed her face, went through all the tests and shocked everyone with one original song after another.

"Oh my god, if it wasn't because this is a selection program for third- and fourth-tier stars, I really wonder if the column team really invited a superstar?"

"It's great! Full marks, full marks for singing skills, full marks for songs, and full marks for performances! Except for full marks, I don't want to give anything less than full marks."

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

"I heard that Luo Aixing's maternal gene came from Mu Xinghua, the queen who was popular in Yuanzhixing 70 years ago? So that's the case. I've heard his mother's songs, and I was her biggest fan. In this kid, I saw His mother's shadow."

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

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

Under the stage, father Ronandi, who was wearing a brand-name suit, was in tears at the moment. When he heard his son on the stage say that the person he was most grateful for was his father, under the spotlight, the staff put He invited him to the stage, and amidst endless applause, the father and son hugged each other tightly.

……

Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhou Ming's eyes were a little moist, and it was unforgettable for a long time.

"This is the power to pursue dreams, and this... is the joy of success?"

dream?

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

Shaking his head, no, maybe there was before, and that was just to make a lot of money, and I never thought about anything else.

Now, there is no shortage of money in hand, and dreams are naturally gone. If you insist that you have them, it is not a dream, but a desire.

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

So Zhou Ming envies people with dreams, but he can't change them.

Because, he has owned the things that everyone dreams of, and has owned the precious things that countless people have worked hard and pursued all their lives.

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

A dream that has been realized is not a dream.

but.

Now Zhou Ming finds that helping others realize their dreams with little effort seems to feel good.

"Master, you want Yiyi to help screen the list. Yiyi has already screened out for you. There are 104 people in total. Do you want to push the website link to them now?"

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

"Oh, let's push it to them, thank you Xiao Yiyi."

"Thank you, master, Yiyi is going to continue reading novels." Yuanyi, who yawned as the colorful light dimmed, returned to the cube.

Zhou Ming nodded. The screening work has been going on for more than two days. The technology bomb is about to explode.
