What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Looking at the discussion about the relationship between the three bald heads on the computer screen, Xiang Kun leaned back on the computer chair with a look of lovelessness on his face.

I thought that his pretense cooking video would be quickly forgotten by netizens, but I didn't expect that there would be a bunch of spoof dubbing games.

I thought that this kind of spoof dubbing would not take long for netizens to get tired of it and look for new materials, but unexpectedly they linked his previous "back view picture" and "be brave for righteousness video".

He didn't need to read those comments and search for relevant content to know what kind of discussion it would be like.

It seems that the heat won't go down anytime soon.

Fortunately, he has changed a lot in the past few months, and he has become bald again. His former classmates and acquaintances generally can't recognize him—even his own mother can't recognize him, and it's difficult for others to recognize him. One can imagine.

There are only a few people who can tell his real identity from this picture and video.

Otherwise, I am afraid that his real identity would have been directly picked up by someone.

What to do now?

Forget it, let's continue with the salad, anyway, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to accept the heat.

However, after a quick calculation in his mind, Xiang Kun came up with an idea, which he thought might be useful. After dawn, discuss with You Meng.

Xiang Kun remembered his AI assistant plan again. He opened an input interface, which looked like a simple text editor, except that there were a few simple buttons at the bottom of the text input interface. There was basically no UI design in the entire interface. Word.

Xiang Kun entered a line of words in the text box: "Hi everyone, I'm Tang Xiaona."

Then hit the play button below.

The next sentence was uttered in Tang Baona's voice. The voice was soft and the tone was flat, but the pronunciation was still very natural and smooth. At first glance, there would be no sense of disobedience, let alone I thought it was not a real person who said it.

However, with Xiang Kun's ears, he still heard a lot of problems.

Although his "AI assistant" plan has already made the entire framework a long time ago, it has basically determined the architecture, data structure, key algorithms and module functions.

But actually started to do it,

Only the voice synthesis function was available, because Xiang Kun was still not satisfied with his "AI assistant" plan.

Its main core is still existing and mature solutions, and it is just doing better integration and modification.

Not to mention whether the function of the finished product can meet his needs in the future, the process of realization alone will require a lot of time and other costs, and he cannot do it in a short time by himself.

But now, after several months of mutation and evolution, Xiang Kun inexplicably felt that the "AI assistant" that he had spent so much time and cost to make should not be "just like this".

So he has been just doing the facade work of the "AI assistant"-synthesizing voice.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiang Kun asked Tang Baona to provide him with voice samples, and the latter also agreed, and the sample collection had been completed a long time ago, and he had also targeted an existing open source speech synthesis model. modified, and then after training, it successfully imitated Tang Baona's voice.

Although it was done intermittently during this period, after more than a month, it was basically completed.

However, Xiang Kun is still a little dissatisfied with the completion result, although the overall fluency of text reading, understanding of context, lexical analysis, syntactic analysis, and pragmatic analysis are all much better than the original speech synthesis model improvement.

But on the whole, it has not really surpassed the current top level. Whether it is foreign or domestic, the speech synthesis AI that simply reads the text has done a good job. As for some of the bottlenecks they faced, the thing Xiang Kun made still hadn't broken through.

So now, regarding his "AI assistant project", Xiang Kun really felt that it was a pity to eat it and discard it.

Looking at the input box a little bored, Xiang Kun suddenly raised his hand and typed a sentence in it: "Xiang Kun, you are so handsome."

Then cancel the "automatically switch tone according to the context", and in the specific tone option, select "gentle".

"Xiang Kun, you are so handsome~~"

Hearing Tang Baona's soft and gentle voice, Xiang Kun couldn't help but get goosebumps, and felt a little embarrassed.

After thinking for a while, I chose the tone as "angry" again:

"Xiang Kun! You are so handsome!"

Although the voice was heavy and sounded full of anger, Xiang Kun became amused because he was thinking of Tang Baona's appearance in his mind, and there was an inexplicable contrast. Whether it's the gentleness in the former, or the anger in the latter, these are the tones he rarely hears from the real Tang Baona.

There are a total of six specific tones. After Xiang Kun tried them one by one, he suddenly felt that it was a bit wretched for him to choose this sentence to read.

After closing the window in a despondent manner, Xiang Kun changed his clothes and went out for a run to the mountains to exercise his body. Now that hill has already been rushed out of several mountain roads by him.

When I came back from "exercise", it was already bright. Although I didn't sweat much, I still got a lot of mud from the mountain, and I still needed to take a shower to clean it up.

Sitting in front of the computer again, Xiang Kun dialed You Meng's number after checking that the time was almost up. He knew that after the store opened, You Meng got up early in the morning because he had to prepare ingredients every day.

"Are you up? What are you doing, grocery shopping?" Xiang Kun asked as soon as the call was connected.

"Get up, the store is going to be closed for the time being, and you didn't go shopping, why did you call so early? By the way, have you watched the video my wife took for me before? It was shot according to your script." You Meng asked strangely.

"Well, I see. I'll talk about that later. Your kitchen hasn't been renovated yet, right?" Xiang Kun asked.

"Not yet. After listening to my plan to specialize in rabbit meat, Director Liu said that he could contact me and have a look. Maybe I can change to a better location at a cheap price. Anyway, the business of the entire commercial street is not good now. Well, the prices are low, as for this place, there is no need to spend money on decoration.”

"Still try to keep this store, especially the kitchen. Well, don't renovate the kitchen for now."

You Meng was surprised: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to create that... character design, other places don't matter, you must decorate the kitchen clean and bright?"

"Things have changed now, and I'm going to let you catch the heat. Well, it's not a lie, it's our own heat."

The idea that Xiang Kun came up with last night was to make You Meng's new video also use that kitchen as the background.

They didn't deliberately publicize the relationship between You Meng and the bald-headed cooking video, but simply released the video of You Meng cooking. After the idle sand sculpture netizens couldn't find Xiang Kun's real identity, they would definitely Some people found that the background of the video posted by You Meng was the same as that of Xiang Kun's video, and then they focused their attention - Xiang Kun didn't believe it, these sand sculpture netizens could even compare the back of his three bald heads, and they would not be able to compare Such an obvious kitchen background!

When netizens notice it, they will naturally have a sense of excitement to discover the truth, and then the traffic and popularity will naturally be attracted, and they will find a way to "tell the story". During this process, Xiang Kun has never appeared, and his identity has always been a "mystery". The more mysterious he is, the greater the curiosity of netizens, and the more they will devote themselves to the known clue "Youlong Hotel". superior.

As long as customers are brought in from the internet and people start coming to the store to try their dishes, then the goal has been achieved.

In the final analysis, they still rely on the taste of the dishes to attract customers.

Of course, You Meng's cooking video itself must have a certain quality, like the one he sent to Xiang Kun last night, it must not work anyway.

After chatting for a while, Xiang Kun asked You Meng not to change the location, at most he asked if the shop next to his shop had any plans to sublet, and then he was about to end the call.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." You Meng suddenly remembered something, and said, "The farm we visited in Chongyun Village before has been taken over."

"Oh, that can't be helped, I'll find another place." Xiang Kun didn't care too much, he was actually planning to give up that place, but he could hear very keenly that You Meng's voice was a bit expectant , This is the feeling that the words have not been finished yet.

Sure enough, You Meng laughed again and said, "Who do you think took over?"

Xiang Kun's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "Could it be Liu Caifu, Director Liu?"

"Hey? How do you know?" This time, he was stunned.

Xiang Kun looked up at the ceiling and sighed silently. How else would he know that the person who might take over the site in Chongyun Village, and he could guess it, was anyone else besides Liu Caifu, the deputy director of Chongyun Village?

"Why did he take over that piece of land?" Xiang Kun couldn't help asking even though he already vaguely knew the answer in his heart.

"When you come next time, just ask him yourself. He originally wanted to call you, but I told him that you are very busy. If there is something to do, it would be better to talk face-to-face when you come to Copperstone Town. In fact, it is very Simple, Director Liu still wants to invite you to Chongyun Village, and he still never forgets the blueprint you drew before."

Xiang Kun was helpless, this was a hole he dug, a sin he made, and he couldn't deny it.

I can only wait until I go back to Tongshi Town to see if I can "release" Director Liu, let him not think so highly of himself, and melt away his expectations.

After finishing the call with You Meng, Xiang Kun saw that it was about the same time, so he contacted Tang Baona again. Now she should be on her way to work.

After sending Tang Baona the video shooting script she made for "Youlong Hotel" and briefly stating her intentions, Tang Baona replied after a few minutes:

"Your shooting script is very well written. I think it should be very interesting to shoot."

Xiang Kun then sent the finished video taken by You Meng and his wife.

Ten minutes later, Tang Baona sent an emoji of an old subway man squinting at his phone, and a string of "...".

Xiang Kun sent a hands-on expression: "So how should we adjust?"

"Actually, it's normal to shoot like this. According to your script, you still have to strictly follow the subdivision of the shot, shoot shot by shot, and then make adjustments. The shooting method of one shot to the end is too much a test of the acting skills of the 'leading actor'. Your friend is far less thick-skinned than you!" Tang Baona made a smile covering her mouth.

After discussing for a while, Tang Baona expressed her willingness to help, but she is not very professional, and many things are self-taught, so she can only give some advice on shooting, but editing can help, it should not be better than ordinary studios poor.

Naturally, Xiang Kun expressed his gratitude for this, and then asked about the canary wood carving last time, what did her grandfather think of it.

"Actually, I wanted to collect it myself. 'Golden Sparkle' was placed next to Saber as a pet, which matched well. But after I sent a photo to my grandpa, he called again and wanted to leave. This time my grandpa He said he would put it away properly so that my second uncle would not see it, and he would not make any troubles again."

The "Golden Shining" wood carving has not undergone "emotional injection", but only "supersensory connection", so naturally there will be no more problems. If the old man has nightmares again, he can't be blamed.

Tang Baona sent another message: "By the way, didn't you ask me to record a lot of voices to make an AI voice? How is it going?"

"It's been done, and I'll send it to you when you get home. Currently, there is only a win10 version, and it has not been ported to Android and IOS platforms. Uh, it may not be ported for the time being. Now you can just read a text, you can Use it to listen to books and read it to you in your own voice, it has a special flavor!"

After a while, Tang Baona said again: "Use QQ to send it. I'm at the company, so I can send it directly. I can play on the computer."

"it is good."

After Xiang Kun finished replying, he directly sent the software package he had packed.

But after the file was transferred, Xiang Kun's eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth became O-shaped, because he suddenly remembered that after he finished using the software last night, he quit directly and did not delete the words in the text box , and he painstakingly made an automatic saving function for the input box. If you don’t clear it, those texts will still be there next time you enter...

I wanted to quickly cancel it, but it was too late, and all the files had already been sent.

"I just found out that there seems to be something wrong with the version that was passed on to you. Don't run it yet..." Before Xiang Kun could finish typing, Tang Baona had already sent a message:

"..."

Although there were only six dots and no words, Xiang Kun already knew that she had seen it.

However, he didn't know how to reply, so he could only reply: "..."

A few minutes later, Tang Baona sent a panda emoji with black lines all over her face: "I just opened it and didn't pay attention to the words on it, so I just clicked play, and guess what sound came out of the speaker."

Xiang Kun sent an aggrieved expression with two fingers pointing at each other.

Tang Baona then sent a laughing and crying emoji: "Sister Chen, who was sitting not far from me, asked me in surprise: 'Nana, are you also chasing stars? Who is this Xiang Kun, very handsome?'"

Xiang Kun was speechless, and continued to respond with the expression of covering his face and crying bitterly.

Tang Baona sent a Bao Qingtian emoji: "So, you want my voice as a material, so you are doing these things in private?"

Xiang Kun squeezed his face vigorously, what a great name he is! !

This is not clear even if you jump into the Yellow River! !
