Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 1 Boss Coal: I voted for this film project

Parallel world, Blue Star——

"The script is pretty good, but the post-production CG special effects will cost a lot of money, right?"

"It is indeed better than "Sea Castle Fortress."

"Director Xu, I am a very science-loving person. I think the universal gravitation invented by Einstein is really great."

in a conference room.

After reading Xu Nuo's movie script, the three coal bosses expressed their satisfaction, but they still worried that investing in such a sci-fi movie might be a bottomless pit.

Because there are lessons learned.

Last year, Xiaolu Films made a sci-fi movie "Sea Castle", and it is said that it invested [-] million yuan at the beginning.

As a result, after the filming, it was found that there was not enough money for special effects, and the investors had to invest another 5000 million.

In the end, the domestic sci-fi blockbuster with a cost of 2.17 million was only [-] million at the box office after its release.

Horrible!

The pants are all lost!
This makes domestic investors subconsciously retreat when they see science fiction-themed movies.

Today, Xu Nuo managed to recruit three coal bosses for his film project.

"Ahem, bosses, if the special effects are too expensive, then we can shoot them in real life. Wouldn't hiring an actor be more realistic than making a simulated robot with special effects?"

Xu Nuo continued to fool around hard.

These are the last three bosses who are interested in investing in their films, and they must be firmly grasped.

Otherwise, the task of the system may not be completed.

"It seems to make sense."

The middle-aged coal boss nodded.

"Director Xu, I think the T-800 robot in your movie is set to be a ruthless killer. It doesn't need a lot of expressions. This kind of actor is easy to find. Just pick any traffic star in the entertainment circle and you will be able to do it." ,Ha ha ha ha."

The younger coal second generation among the three laughed and joked.

"Haha, Mr. Zhou is still humorous."

Xu Nuo knew that the second generation of coal was joking.

T-800 is indeed a ruthless robot, but this is not something that a delicate-skinned traffic star can deduce, let alone T-800's strong and masculine body.

"This Terminator story, I think it's pretty good."

The bald coal boss is still immersed in the story of the script he just read.

"Then Director Xu, how much does your movie cost?"

The middle-aged coal boss finally asked the key question.

Xu Nuo saw that the three coal bosses all had relatively large investment intentions, so he said, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Li, my budget for this movie is 8000 million, and I still need [-] million at present."

"Really? Only [-] million?"

"It costs a lot of money just to promote the movie, right?"

"That's right, I've voted in several movies, and the promotion is very expensive."

Obviously, the three coal bosses didn't quite believe that Xu Nuo could make a commercial science fiction blockbuster with only [-] million yuan.

"Don't worry about the promotion, I have made a special money-saving publicity plan for this "Terminator", and I think the effect should not be bad."

Xu Nuo calmly took out a pink USB flash drive from his trouser pocket.

Then it was plugged into the laptop port on the conference table.

"What kind of publicity plan?"

The young second generation of coal asked curiously.

"In order to make this sci-fi movie about artificial intelligence destroying human beings, we made an artificial intelligence."

Xu Nuo answered calmly while operating his laptop.

"Oh, not bad, this promotional copy is a bit interesting."

The young coal second generation savored Xu Nuo's "copywriting" carefully, and felt great.

The two older coal bosses hadn't reacted yet, so they couldn't get Xu Nuo's words.

after awhile.

The bald coal boss frowned and said, "Is there anything special about this promotional copy? Make a movie about artificial intelligence. Can you really make an artificial intelligence? It will become false propaganda by then. .”

Xu Nuo just smiled, then snapped his fingers lightly, calling out, "Guan Ju."

"I'm here, is there anything I can do for you?"

Suddenly, a gentle voice of Yujie sounded like a breeze in the meeting room.

I was taken aback by the three coal bosses, and looked around quickly.

"what sound?"

"Who is talking?"

"Damn it, is there really artificial intelligence?" The young coal second generation had a little more experience, and immediately realized that the gentle voice of Yujie just now might be artificial intelligence.

"Guan Ju, please introduce yourself to the three bosses."

Xu Nuo picked up the water glass.

"Hello bosses, I am an artificial intelligence based on convolutional neural network, you can call me Guan Ju."

Guan Ju's gentle voice sounded again.

"What convolutional neural network?"

The second generation of coal knows that Guan Ju is an artificial intelligence, but they don't understand what Guan Ju is talking about convolutional neural network.

"Do you need me to explain what a convolutional neural network is?"

Guan Ju asked back.

"Can you explain it?"

The second generation of coal has been deeply attracted by Guan Ju's voice.

"Convolutional neural network is an advanced algorithm constructed by imitating the biological visual perception mechanism by the layered structure of input layer, hidden layer and output layer.

Through the sharing of convolution kernel parameters and the sparsity of inter-layer connections, the convolutional neural network can have a stable effect on the lattice feature with a small amount of calculation and has no additional engineering requirements for the data, so it is an efficient method. machine learning algorithm. "

Guan Ju explained.

The second generation of coal was already taken aback for a while.

With his level of knowledge and culture, it is obviously difficult to understand Guan Ju's explanation.

"Guan Ju, maybe you should explain it more simply."

Xu Nuo said calmly.

Guan Ju: "Well, to put it simply, I am a computer program that implements the optimal solution for the optimization of the loss function after gradient descent."

When the second generation of coal heard this, they were even more confused.

The middle-aged coal boss and the bald coal boss also looked dumbfounded.

Guan Ju: "Master, I think the three bosses still haven't understood."

boom!
At this moment, the Second Generation of Coal suddenly slapped the table: "Director Xu, I'm damn sure I've voted for your movie!"

This director Xu actually created an artificial intelligence in order to film "Terminator"!
Isn't this better than any kind of movie promotion method?
"cast!"

"As much money as you want!"

The middle-aged coal boss and the bald coal boss didn't say anything else, they were cast for this movie, and no one could stop it!
"Ahem, what about Director Xu? Let's just say, your artificial intelligence is awesome. I've never seen this before. Why don't you make one for me? Just ask for how much it is!"

The second generation of coal rubbed their hands together and asked expectantly.

"I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, Guan Ju is still in the research and development stage, and there is still a long way to go before it can be formed, but I believe that in the future, our lives will definitely be inseparable from artificial intelligence."

Xu Nuo shook his head regretfully and explained to Coal II.

"Oh, that's it, I understand, eh~, no, good guy, I understand! Director Xu, you must make movies to use the money you earn from entertainment for the research and development of this smart technology, right? , Awesome, I, Zhou Kun, admire people like you who contribute to the progress of science and technology!"

Zhou Kun, the second generation of coal, gave Xu Nuo a thumbs up in admiration.

that's it.

The three coal bosses decided to invest 3000 million, 500 million and 500 million respectively, for a total of 8000 million.

Comprehensively enjoy 20% box office share income.

"Guan Ju, print out the investment signing contracts of the three bosses."

"Ok."

After the words fell, Xu Nuo got up and walked to the printer, one contract after another had been printed out one after another.

The three coal bosses watched the contract several times, and after confirming that there was no problem, they signed the contract.

Afterwards, he asked the accountant to send money to Xu Nuo's real media technology company, which was really refreshing, as expected of a rich and powerful coal boss.

After signing the contract, Xu Nuo invited the three coal boss investors to a high-end restaurant for a serious meal.

As a result, the second generation of coal did not want to cook, but stayed in the meeting room and chatted happily with Guan Ju.

Seeing this, Xu Nuo did not disturb the interest of the coal bosses.

"Director Xu, let's just say, why do you, Guan Ju, understand everything? And in the process of talking with me, you can also show different expressions and emotions. This is too awesome. The classmate Xiao Ai on my phone Just like TM's mentally handicapped."

The second generation of coal compared Guan Ju and Xiao Ai.

Forget it, it's better than a hammer, insulting Guan Ju belongs to it.
