The dinner table.

Aziguli was chewing on braised pork. Although it can't be said to be gobbled up, it is definitely not a lady's style of painting.

Of course, beautiful girls are pleasing to the eye in everything they do.

Song Jingxing asked, "Can you eat pork?"

Aziguli nodded and said, "Well, my mother is of Han nationality. She is responsible for cooking at home. What she usually cooks is what my father and I eat. It is the same as the living habits of the Han nationality."

"You are in the acting department. Are you afraid of getting fat after eating so much?" Song Jingxing asked.

Aziguli swallowed a bite of meat and said, "I'm not afraid. There are physical classes in school, and I like to play basketball. I consume a lot of physical energy every day, and I will be hungry if I don't eat too much."

Song Jingxing said, "There are a lot of girls who like to watch basketball. Girls who like to play basketball are very rare."

In addition to food-eating attributes, Aziguli obviously also has the attributes of talking about tuberculosis. When Song Jingxing asked, she said a lot: "My parents are both basketball players. I grew up in the basketball training room. The average height of the two of them is 1.88 meters. I am only 1.76 meters. I have not inherited them. I have been in sports school before high school, and gradually I didn’t grow up much. My dad also sent me to have a bone age test, but found that it was difficult to grow to a height of 1.8 meters or more, so he asked me to retrain as a guard. One time later I suffered a serious knee injury. Although healed, I couldn’t adapt to the intensity of professional competitions, so I didn’t go to sports school. But I still like to play basketball and play for at least an hour every day. Look at my palms, it’s always there. Cocoon was played by playing basketball for a long time."

Song Ruoxi suddenly interjected, "It's time to take care of your hands."

"Teacher Song, I will try my best." Aziguli lowered her head and stuck her tongue out.

Song Ruoxi asked Song Jingxing again: "I heard you plan to start a business?"

Song Jingxing said speechlessly: "Why don't you even know it in a few days?"

Song Ruoxi asked: "Have you found an entrepreneurial project?"

"Not yet." Song Jingxing said.

Song Ruoxi said: "Invest in VR movies, I happen to have a project in my hands."

Song Jingxing reminded: "Sister-in-law, the Chinese law prohibits the production and dissemination of colored audio-visual products. I don't want to be the target of the government's anti-pornography and illegal activities."

"Who asked you to make that kind of film?" Song Ruoxi was a little angry.

Song Jingxing said: "Can you make other types of VR movies?"

From 3g to 4g, and then from 4g to 5g, every technological advancement has spawned a large number of related industries.

5g applications can be summarized into three areas: first, enhanced mobile broadband; second, mission-critical services; third, massive Internet of Things.

For example, Song Jingxing’s Tesla Wisdom Light, its autopilot function, belongs to the "critical mission service."

As for the "Massive Internet of Things", Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are now being built as "smart cities", and various infrastructures are connected by mobile broadband. Including street lights, electric meters, water meters, traffic lights, trash cans, etc., which street light is broken, which section of the water pipe is leaking, and which trash can is full can be judged by the manager sitting in the control room.

If combined with the Skynet system, it will be even more awesome. As long as you are not in a remote place, Skynet will add image recognition technology to automatically search for you in minutes.

The application of VR and aR technology requires the use of "enhanced mobile broadband."

The theoretical downlink peak of 5g exceeds 10gB, which is enough to support the interaction of aR/VR users. The most typical example is the virtual online game played by Song Weiyang. As long as the scenes are not too complicated, they are very smooth.

And now Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou has been laying 6g network-strictly speaking, 5.5g, just like 2.5g back then, there has been a certain improvement in performance, but it has not yet reached the level of a leap forward.

As early as 2015, VR movies have appeared, followed by aR movies.

The film and television industry originally belonged to the capital paradise. After the popularization of 5g networks, the world's large entertainment companies and many venture capitals are madly spending money in the field of VR and aR movies. Up to now, more than 90% of the projects have lost money, and they have lost everything.

The aR movie is barely successful. There are already companies promoting the "aR theater", and only a super hot aR movie can develop rapidly-just like "Avatar" in the 3D theater.

But VR movies are completely a pit!

Technical problems have been basically resolved, but VR and movies are inherently contradictory. Just like a pair of men and women with disagreeable personalities, they have to be forcibly tied together to get married, and their life after marriage is so tragic that they can't be seen at all.

The essence of film is frame vision, and each scene has a specific performance function. Generally speaking, the atmosphere in the long-range shots, the action in the middle shots, and the emotions in the close-range shots. The characteristic of VR is immersion. It needs to bring in a specific character, and then use the main vision of this character to blend into the scene-the scene cannot be changed. It can be converted technically, but once converted, it loses the immersiveness of VR, so it's a special drama!

There is also a sense of space and editing effects of movies, which are also difficult to integrate with VR technology.

In the past few years, many VR movies have been made at home and abroad, and all of them have been shown in theaters. The profits and losses of transplanting to personal VR devices have been mixed. Only those who changed to VR stand-alone games in the middle made a lot of money. The thing that came out was not like a movie at all, it was more like a VR experience game.

To put it more simply, drama is the art of actors, film is the art of directors, and VR is the art of audiences.

The difference between VR movies and movies, just like the difference between movies and dramas, cannot be implemented using mature traditional movie theories.

During this period, Japanese and European "small film" companies have made great contributions to the development of VR movies. Colored films emphasize immersion and substitution. It fits perfectly with VR technology. Coupled with specific X props, a small VR film can be refreshed, and some old drivers even say that it is more refreshing than **** in reality. .

By the way, while all kinds of VR movies hit the street, VR distance education is extremely popular.

Tuition fees in the United States are terribly high, and even technical education is ridiculously expensive. Two engineers in Silicon Valley took the lead in launching a "cheap" VR education program. At the beginning, they only did vocational education and training, which was equivalent to the VR version of Lanxiang and New Oriental Cooking School. The result was quickly recognized by the market and even caused the American Education Union and Teachers Union. Boycott of the march.

The two founders were almost bankrupted by a huge amount of legal fees in order to deal with a union lawsuit. Fortunately, at a critical moment, venture capital investment has entered the market, and it has developed rapidly under the pressure of the union.

It is much more difficult to do VR education in China, because the cost of education in China is cheap. VR education is virtual after all. Whether it's a beauty salon or cooking with an excavator, it is not as real as practicing hands in reality. Let's talk about other education. In reality, tutoring can adjust the teaching plan according to the specific situation of the student. Although the tuition is expensive, the effect is much better than VR education. As for adult education, you can go directly to a formal university to register, and they will also issue a diploma.

Only Chinese people who are busy at work and want to improve themselves and don't care about their academic qualifications will choose VR education. The market is much narrower than that of the United States.

Song Ruoxi explained, “I’m currently working as a lecturer in the Acting Department while studying for a PhD in the Directing Department. At the beginning of the year, I went to Hollywood with my tutor to participate in a VR film industry seminar. Well-known VR from all over the world Film directors all agree that adventure, suspense, horror and other genres will be the future of VR movies. The Mummy 6 invested by Universal Pictures last year is a very good reference. Unfortunately, Universal Pictures’ ambitions are too big and want to They were all made into 3D version, VR version and aR version, but neither version was pleased."

Song Jingxing asked, "What type of project do you want to photograph?"

Song Ruoxi said: "The horror mystery film is only made in VR version. The scene is compressed into a specific narrow space as much as possible. The time span of the film and reality is within two hours. The transition of the film depends on the movement of the characters. The audience can choose. Bring in the gender of the character, and the couple audience can even choose to bring in the couple character. In this way, they can follow the traditional film theory to shoot, and at the same time reflect the characteristics of VR movies."

Song Jingxing asked: "Is there no other director who came up with this kind of shooting method?"

Song Ruoxi said: "Yes, but I can't make it. Horror suspense films are niche types, and generally speaking, the investment is not big, and VR movies are piled up with money. Only big investment can make the theater level. The VR horror suspense films of the United States, and large film companies are concerned about market risks and dare not invest easily. If Spielberg or Cameron are willing to make VR suspense horror films, they will definitely be able to attract investment, but they are too old. The body is not very good, and I can no longer make extremely energy-intensive VR movies."

Song Jingxing asked: "How much does it cost to make a 90-minute VR movie?"

Song Ruoxi said: "HeLP nine years ago" is regarded as the first real VR narrative film. It is less than 5 minutes in length, relatively simple in scenes, and not many characters, but it costs 5 million U.S. dollars. Even now With the development of technology, the production cost of VR movies has been reduced a lot, but if you want to shoot a 90-minute theater-level VR movie, the production cost will also increase exponentially. Not to say that 5 minutes is 5 million US dollars, 90 minutes is 90 million US dollars , It can’t be calculated at all, the capital is increasing geometrically. If you want to make a good production, even if you don’t hire a star to shoot, a theater VR movie costs more than 500 million US dollars. We try to compress the space and scenes and make a low-cost VR Films, it’s barely necessary to have 300 million U.S. dollars."

Song Jingxing asked: "It's only 300 million U.S. dollars. Companies such as Sohu, Tencent, Ali, and Excalibur can definitely get them. Why don't you go to my dad?"

Song Ruoxi said: “Because there are many problems in the market. VR movies run counter to the atmosphere of theaters. Movie theaters have no VR theaters at all. Even aR theaters are relatively small. The TV and Internet copyrights of such films are also difficult to sell. Users of VR equipment can make money, but there are not many people who purchase VR equipment. It is almost impossible to pay back the cost of 300 million dollars. Unless the aR theater is promoted vigorously, VR movies are taken to the aR theater to play. This requires a huge amount of money. The power of capital, when it is uncertain whether it can make money, has invested huge sums of money and connections to promote the market."

"It's too difficult." Song Jingxing said.

Song Ruoxi smiled and said: "But if you do this, you will be listed in the world's film history, become a man of the world's film and television industry, and usher in a new era of VR movies. Do you dare to do it?"

Song Jingxing shook his head and said: "I only have 100 million yuan in start-up funds, and I can't even shoot the photos. Moreover, the difficulty of this project is not money at all, but how to promote aR or VR theaters. It should be so easy, early. There is a film company to do it, but can it be our turn to pick up the leaks?"

Song Ruoxi said, "You are the son of the world's richest man."

Song Jingxing said: "I want to read your script first, and also look at your project plan. If it is feasible, I won't start a business anymore. Just go to work at Excalibur Entertainment. You should be able to apply for a $300 million project. arrive."

"That's fine, I'll call people back from Hollywood." Song Ruoxi said.

"Is the director Yankee?" Song Jingxing asked.

Song Ruoxi said: "A Chinese director who has obtained a green card but has not yet immigrated. This person graduated from Beijing Film and went to the USC Film School for a master's degree. The award-winning short film attracted attention. He was mixed for ten years in Hollywood. For many years, I’ve been playing a small mess, until I made a small-cost B-level film that sold out three years ago. Last year, Universal Pictures’ Mummy 6 was taken as a group director, so he was able to make a VR film. I also went to Hollywood with my mentor to hold an industry seminar at the beginning of the year, and I came to know him by accident. The script is very well written, but it has not been able to attract investment."

Song Jingxing asked: "Suspense horror film, no ghost, right?"

Song Ruoxi rolled her eyes: "If there is a ghost, I still dare to get a shot in China?"

"That's fine," Song Jingxing said. "You don't need to save too much money. Stars must be hired. Suspense horror films are inherently niche, and VR films are even more niche. Not asking stars to join is like suicide. I I don’t want to earn much, as long as I don’t lose money. It’s a very interesting experiment."

Song Ruoxi said: "That's fine, I'll be the heroine, I'll be a star anyway."

Song Jingxing asked: "Are the audience acting as the hero and heroine?"

Song Ruoxi said: “Of course, the male audience is the male protagonist, and the female audience is the female protagonist. Transsexuals can also be the opposite. Through the male and female protagonists in the old mansion, narrow basement, together with other characters, one or two. The horror encounter within an hour allows the audience to fully immerse themselves in the film, experience the suspenseful atmosphere of horror and tension, and also experience the love, friendship and betrayal of the moment of desperation. The scale is a bit large, mainly blood and horror, blood can be minimized, but Horror is one of the selling points. You need to clear the relationship between radio and television, and at the same time strictly prohibit audiences with heart diseases from entering the venue."

"What should I do if some viewers are scared of problems?" Song Jingxing said ~www.readwn.com~ This film is becoming more and more niche. It is a pitfall. It may be super difficult to promote the VR theater. "

Song Ruoxi said: "There is no way. Film companies at home and abroad have tried it. It is not feasible to shoot traditional blockbuster films with VR technology. All of them lose the essence of VR movies. It is better to directly engage in 3D or aR giant production. Only this kind of VR film with narrow activity space and short story time can immerse the audience in it without appearing or jumping into the act. Take the previous 2012" as an example, disaster films are very suitable for the audience to experience. But it should be brought in. Which character? Fly from the United States to China, do you directly switch scenes? Switching scenes is to skip the scene. When you cut a scene, you will skip the scene once, so that the audience can realize that you are not a character. Switch scenes, how long do you plan to let the audience fly in the sky?"

Song Jingxing asked Aziguli who was still eating braised pork: "How about you also play a role?"

"Huh?" Aziguli swallowed the meat, "I'm just a freshman, and I haven't finished the theory class. Will the school allow me to take the show?"

Song Jingxing said: "I will, special matters will be handled."

Aziguli smiled and said: "Then I am definitely willing to film, I am not a fool."
