"Mmm, mmm, mmm, being consistent from beginning to end, that's really important." Host Fang Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Whether in creation or in emotions, this is indeed a very important thing."
"Thank you to Teacher Tang Sanshui for his advice. I hope all contestants will pay attention to such issues during the creative process."
"Next…"
"Mmm, mmm, let me do it." Qihai unexpectedly took the microphone.
Let me think… what was that animation about just now?
"Regarding plot and creation, Uncle Big Nose and Teacher Tang Sanshui have both spoken. I'm not a professional in this area, so I won't say anything." Qihai said, "Although voice acting is my specialty, the creation of the editor itself can derive from the creator's, what's that…"
"Consciousness." Host Fang Yuan supplemented in a timely manner, "It can get approximate voice keywords from the creator's consciousness."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's it." Qihai nodded repeatedly, "It can capture key impressions and then match approximate results from the voice actor's sound source library."
"Ah, this is indeed very impressive, but it can be seen that there are still quite a few flaws. In the end, it will definitely require professional voice actors to re-dub it to be emotionally rich."
"The technology still needs to be optimized," she said.
"What? Aren't you worried about losing your job?" Perhaps she had somewhat entered her usual live streaming rhythm. Although she didn't look at the bullet screen or listen to the audience below, she tried to make up a bullet screen herself and then answered her own question, "Ah, don't ask too many questions about this kind of thing. If you ask me, when AI came out, weren't there also a lot of people asking, 'Aren't artists afraid of losing their jobs? Aren't authors afraid of losing their jobs?'"
"I can only say, if you're bad, practice more. If you're going to be defeated by AI, then go learn AI and use AI."
[She really dares to speak her mind]
[Hehe, if you're bad, practice more]
[I think it's already amazing, I didn't hear any flaws anyway]
[That's because contestant No. 28, Hua Jian's consciousness is clear enough. If you look at others trying it, the voice acting is vague, contradictory, and honestly, from the first episode, I wanted to complain about how his voice acting is completely different from what other contestants tried to create]
[It doesn't look like he's using this thing for the first time at all]
[Why care so much? As long as it sounds good and looks good, that's fine. Anyway, this show is actually just a promotional video for the editor]
[No, who told you it's a promotional video? Would your promotional video have so many big names endorsing it, and would Uncle Big Nose and others be judges?]
[Alright, alright, stop arguing. The Crispy Shark wants to listen to Ms. Spicy Rice speak. You're blocking my view]
[Laughed]
"In short, the voice acting needs improvement, but it's already very good, that's all!"
Qihai clasped her hands together firmly, then put down the microphone.
Actually, she originally wanted to try to say something else, such as expressing her views on the plot, characters, and so on.
However, she suddenly felt that if she finished speaking now, there might not be much left to say later.
For the sake of her not-so-rich conversational topics, she decided to stop here.
"Next, I'll hand it over to Dong Xuelian!" she said.
Dong Xuelian: "Eh?"
"No, no, no, no, no, you must have something else to say, right? You must be able to say something more, right?"
Disregarding the camera that turned towards her, she pressed her question fiercely.
"Eh heh?" But facing her persistent questioning, Qihai just blinked.
Dong Xuelian couldn't help but clench her fists.
She really wanted to punch her.
But she couldn't.
Taking a deep breath, she quickly realized that the show was still live, and the camera was still on her. Dong Xuelian quickly adjusted her expression, revealing a professional smile: "Then let me just say a few words from a viewer's perspective."
"The content of the fourth episode." Her gaze subtly drifted to the bullet screen beside her, "Overall, it's a pretty calm sense of daily life."
"Those who like it will probably like it very much, and those who don't might find it a bit boring."
"Ah, I think I'm on the side that finds the plot a bit boring."
"I hope that after getting, what's that, IB5 or whatever, the plot can become more interesting."
After speaking, she also, like Qihai, put down the microphone and clasped her hands together.
Seeing this, Qihai didn't pursue further. Her relationship with Dong Xuelian was neither good nor bad. As colleagues, they would always be compared by fans, and occasionally she would engage in some superficial sisterly interactions with the other party.
No need to push too hard.
The show's effect was enough as it was.
[Bad hype]
[What's with "Eh heh"? Don't gross me out]
[Eh hehe, so cute]
[Quick, let Cowboy Hao come out and wash his eyes, I'm going to throw up]
[These two women, tsk]
"Ahem, so, the last mentor who hasn't expressed his feelings…" Host Fang Yuan turned around.
"Pa—" Cowboy Hao proactively lit up the light on his judge's seat.
This thing could actually be turned on by oneself.
"Let me think what there is to say about this episode." He spoke without hesitation, "Overall, there are only two points worth mentioning."
"Since Uncle Big Nose didn't say anything, let me say it."
"One is Assistant. She revealed the most crucial point, which is why she reacted that way before, and why she was so resistant to the Time Machine."
"Because of her father."
"Although the animation didn't say what kind of person her father was, it's not hard to imagine what role 'past failures' would play in an animation with 'time' as its theme."
"The other, well, is the IBN5100. The person who dedicated it ten years ago predicted today's events, as if it was specially given to Okabe Rintaro. Isn't that interesting?"
"The time in the work is 2010. Going back ten years, that's 2000. If I remember correctly, this is the time John Titor went to in Okabe Rintaro's original memory."
"Instead of having a new character suddenly appear later in the story and tell you, 'Oh, this guy sent the computer,' I think it must be a character that has already appeared, so it can only be John Titor."
"As for who this John Titor is… well, you'll know if you keep watching. I have an idea, but it might not be right, so I won't say it yet."
After speaking, Cowboy Hao proactively turned off the light on the judge's seat and put down the microphone.
And Host Fang Yuan didn't make any further summaries, nor did he continue to try to bring up other topics or play question-and-answer games. Instead, he also put down his microphone and looked at the screen.
Because, as the ending song came to an end, a new episode of steins;gate—arrived as promised.
