Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1505 Hippies

There are three main reasons for Zhou Buqi's return to China this time.

First, an internal meeting was held to come up with a plan for digital performance appraisal based on Weibo.

Second, Ziweiyun has gone through layers of tests in China, and after many rounds of tests, it can be further released. The "Big Data + Cloud Computing" project, not to mention the domestic ones, but looking around the world, Ziweixing is at the forefront of the times.Ziweixing will hold a grand technology conference in the auditorium of Tsinghua University to showcase its technological achievements and attract partners.

Zhou Buqi had to attend such an important occasion.

The third thing is that after many discussions, delays, and approvals, Huayi will finally be listed on the GEM at the end of the month.As an important shareholder, Zhou Buqi was invited to attend the bell-ringing ceremony.

The next morning, Zhou Buqi attended the meeting of Ziwei Star's decision-making committee amid applause.

It was embarrassing for him.

It's the end of October. Speaking of which, this is only the eighth meeting of the decision-making committee that he has participated in this year.

At the same time, Zhou Buqi was also very strange.

What does applause mean?
Could it be that the product design of his digital micro-book performance has won everyone's favor?
After the applause passed, He Yang explained in his confusion, "Congratulations to Zhou Buqi, who went to the United States for a great success and won Hollywood!"

Then, the applause broke out again.

Depend on!
Zhou Buqi wanted to scold him.

These people have no good intentions. They are obviously dissatisfied with his "doing nothing" in the entertainment industry, but because he is a big boss, they are embarrassed to speak of him, so they use this kind of flattery to stimulate him.

This is also why they took advantage of Boss Zhou's easy-going, humble, and friendly character, and asked for answers in such a roundabout way!

There is no way, Zhou Buqi can only accept the trial.

Can't lose grace.

"Thank you, thank you." Zhou Buqi made a gesture of pressing down, with a spring breeze on his face, "Ziweixing Universal Group has basically been established, except for the regulatory approval of Universal Pictures. Three companies, MGM, Marvel, Summit Entertainment, and DreamWorks Animation have all successfully merged in. It can be said that Ziwei Star's strategic layout for the entertainment industry has basically been completed!"

Guo Pengfei jumped out to speak for him, "We have already made an internal resolution. Now is the era of consumer Internet, and the future is the era of industrial Internet. In the future, Ziweixing must actively use our own advantages in technology, data, and resources. , expanding to the industrial Internet. Now there is an opportunity to deploy in Hollywood, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course not to be missed.”

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Yes, the industrial Internet. I have said many times that the era of entertainment is coming soon, and everything in the future will be based on entertainment. Even the traditional hard advertising model will gradually be eliminated. In the future, the most An effective marketing model must be entertainment marketing. When the era of entertainment comes, entertainment assets will inevitably appreciate significantly.”

He Yang laughed, "Now it's bargain hunting!"

Guo Pengfei said: "There is also streaming media."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, it is not only a bargain hunting for entertainment assets, but also an advance layout for the future streaming media era. It kills two birds with one stone. However, I want to tell you a story here. In August, Jobs went to Los Angeles to talk to me. I mentioned it during the Marvel case, and I can share it with you.”

"it is good."

He Yang took the lead, and everyone listened carefully.

Zhang Yiming is the president of Ziwei Star, but he is introverted and reticent. He only makes decisions on business matters. He Yang is the leader of many internal activities.

Zhou Buqi said: "I asked Jobs a question about the difference between him and Gates. He told me that there was no difference. If there was, Gates was not rebellious enough when he was young. Then I thought, this is probably the There’s a reason Microsoft doesn’t change the world as much as Apple does.”

The people present were all elites, and several of them came back from Silicon Valley. Of course, knowing some of the reasons, Xu Liangjie said: "It was the hippie movement in the [-]s and [-]s. Jobs was a hippie back then, with long hair, rock and roll, and bare feet." , did not attend classes, held sex parties, played drugs, produced an illegitimate daughter, and confronted the police violently. Later, he gave up his studies and went to India to learn meditation. The reason why Jobs had terminal cancer was related to this , he believed too much in meditation practice and led to the rejection of modern medicine, and he did not have regular medical examinations."

Although cancer is an incurable disease, there are still opportunities to avoid it. Almost all the top rich people and politicians in the world can avoid cancer.

Jobs is also a special case.

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, the hippie movement, they oppose all old systems and old civilizations, advocate extreme individualism and personal innovation, and pursue freedom or give me death. They don't want to be workers, they are called the beat generation In the mid-[-]s, the social structure of the United States changed, and the tertiary industry surpassed the secondary industry. The symbolic event was that the number of McDonald’s employees exceeded the total number of auto workers in Detroit. The hippie movement ended, and most people went to the first Three industries. Among the two elite groups of hippies, one is engaged in art and went to Hollywood. The other is engaged in technology and went to Silicon Valley. Later, Hollywood surpassed European movies, and Silicon Valley is a holy place for technology.”

The meeting room, which was already quiet, became even quieter in an instant.

Guo Pengfei said: "Hollywood and Silicon Valley are the same thing."

Ji Zian sighed, "They are all innovative industries, and innovation... often means subversion and destruction from the bottom of their hearts. It is impossible to want stability and innovation at the same time. This is the price of innovation."

Wang Xiaochuan said: "So more than ten years ago, there were a number of classics in domestic films, but now they are getting worse. Films and technology are essentially the same. This is a shackle that domestic technological progress cannot break through."

Zhou Buqi nodded and gave the final conclusion, "So, Ziwei Star Universal will definitely appear, and it will definitely become a part of Ziwei Galaxy. You all know Lucasfilm, right?"

"Ah."

"The last time I visited with Boss Ma, it was a company located between Hollywood and Silicon Valley. It had the dual attributes of technology and film. One of the technologies was that actors wore sensors to imitate gorillas in front of the green screen. The director The picture directly presented here is a vivid gorilla hunting in the woods. This process is to capture the picture, capture the action, and then render the image online. Of course, the special effect picture after imaging is not as high-definition as in the cinema, but it is also It's good enough. Old Shen, can you tell me?"

Shen Xiangyang took a deep breath, "Lucasfilm's technology in the field of film and television has always been a world leader, and it is not surprising that it is better than Ziweixing."

"Is there any artificial intelligence technology behind this?"

"Have."

"Do we have any redeeming qualities?"

"Ah?" Shen Xiangyang was slightly taken aback, "Is this okay?"

In fact, this is virtual reality technology.

Showed up early.

For example, in a news program on a TV station, the host sits behind the table and speaks. In addition to the background of the host, dynamic news subtitles may flow below, and a video window may appear in the narration to play dynamic news videos.

This is done through virtual reality technology to complete the processing of real images.

In the real picture, a lot of virtual content has been added.

Of course, this is the most basic and simple.

This set of Industrial Light and Magic can be called the most advanced in the world today. It not only adds virtual content to the real picture, but completely replaces the real picture with the virtual picture.

This is awesome!

Boss Zhou said two years ago that Ziweixing will make efforts in the field of virtual reality technology, which represents the future.

He even gave an exaggerated example at the time.

He said that Ziweixing can rely on virtual reality technology to produce a pair of glasses based on virtual reality technology, thus solving the seven-year itch human dilemma.

Husbands can wear these glasses if they dislike their wife's ugliness, which leads to unsatisfactory bed affairs.After the husband puts on the glasses, he can use virtual reality technology and artificial intelligence technology to automatically adjust his wife's appearance to that of Lin Chiling.My wife can also wear glasses to transform into Andy Lau.

In this way, everyone will be motivated!

The cold life of middle-aged couples can be solved by technological revolution!
Zhou Buqi said: "Ziweixing Global's next plan is to acquire Lucasfilm. This is not a big deal. Manchester United's stadium billboards have been updated this summer and have been replaced with LED electronic billboards. Dynamic advertisements can be played, and this season’s stadium advertising revenue can be doubled compared to last season. Not counting, I also intend to use electronic billboards to launch personalized virtual advertisements in different regions.”

Shen Xiangyang said: "This is not the same as the green screen cutout. It will be more complicated. You have to use the signal capture of visible light and invisible light to distinguish it. Well, it should be this way."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Buqi was pleasantly surprised.

Sure enough, he is a technical leader, really powerful, much better than the current technical directors of Ziweixing Digital Media.

Shen Xiangyang simply explained: "LED lights can emit red, green and blue lights visible to the naked eye and invisible infrared lights. The real advertisements on the scene are presented by red, green and blue lights. As long as the cameras in the stadium can capture infrared lights, Then the broadcaster uses artificial intelligence to erase all the red, green and blue light signals in the infrared light area, and the live advertisements are gone, and then uses virtual reality technology to put virtual advertisements in this area and convert them into signals for transmission. The specific implementation may be It will be more complicated, and Lucasfilm may not be able to do it, but fortunately, technologies can learn from each other."

Zhou Buqi was stunned when he heard that, but fortunately he proposed a plan, and Ziweixing Digital Media has a research direction, so he waved his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about performance appraisal new ideas."
