Han Fei stood behind a group of technicians, staring suspiciously at a bunch of constantly changing three-dimensional graphics on the big computer screen.
"Well...this is the 'assisted content generation AI' just developed by our technical department.
It is currently only in the testing phase, and the specific effects will depend on your staff’s final evaluation.”
"Testing phase..."
Han Fei looked constipated when he heard this.
Although Baiyeji has become well-known recently due to several AI products, it is a hot company in China.
But as far as Han Fei knows, this company seems to have never been involved in the film and television industry.
If the main investor "Lingjing Media" hadn't strongly requested to come over and give it a try, he would have been exhausted and looking for post-production teams all over the world to rush the work.
Although the results will certainly be unsatisfactory...
As a result, I hurriedly came over to take a look...it was actually a test product!
Sure enough... we shouldn't hold out any hope...
I heard that the film and television industry on the other side of the ocean is extremely developed. If it doesn’t work, I can only try there...
"Fuck! What the hell..."
At this moment, the editor of the crew next to him suddenly exclaimed~
"What's wrong?" Han Fei hurried over.
"This... this thing is so... incredible!"
The editor pointed to a composite short film being played on the computer screen, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Han Fei took a closer look and was stunned.
It was a 3D animation of car assembly after the protagonist had secured sponsorship, using Spring and Autumn style to represent the modification process of the car.
He is a racing fan. In order to highlight the rigor of the plot, he also hired a professional car tuner to join in the animation design.
Originally, this animation had been completed and Han Fei was basically satisfied. However, due to "accidental deletion", he had to start from scratch.
But now looking at the animation in front of me...
S-class OC engine, forged crankshaft, low friction bearings, MacPherson system chassis, Reiger shock absorbers, front and rear steel tube subframes, carbon fiber body surround, sequential four-wheel drive transmission, Bosch shift sensor, Brembo brake calipers,
ATL explosion-proof fuel tank...
The extremely lifelike parts automatically come together, as if they really came off the assembly line, and are quickly assembled into a sixth-generation Volkswagen POLO.
"this……"
Han Fei was also shocked.
Because the animation effect was so good that it simply exceeded his original expectations.
This is like what he originally wanted was Peppa Pig, but someone cut him a piece of Final Fantasy...
Originally, he thought that shortening the time must be achieved at the expense of quality.
But now... In terms of 3D fidelity and realistic sense of reality, it is almost as good as the classic transformation animation of the Transformers series, and it is a world of difference from the shoddy 50-cent special effects produced in China.
"Is this...really just made?" He asked with a look of astonishment on his face.
With full plans, they came to Bai Yeji Company to try it out, and it only took about half a day...
You completed an 8-second long car assembly animation for me in half a day?!
After all, Han Fei is an industry insider with a professional background and has been working in the industry for many years.
But this kind of speed and efficiency has completely exceeded his understanding of the existing film and television industry.
"I'm sure this is what we just made..."
The editor of the crew nodded with a confused look on his face, completely confused.
"The mainstream mechanical 3D design software currently on the market includes SW, UG CATIA, Pro/e... but none of them can judge user needs so accurately.
We just give some photos and materials, plus simple modeling and production requirements, and we can give such excellent processing results...
This software is really terrible!
How on earth did you do that?”
He felt that his twenty years of experience in the industry had been completely overturned at this moment...
"Haha! Even though we only use a few computers here, in fact the server resources used behind this software are no less than those of some large-scale games.
Because the above requires the highest standards of treatment, almost all the idle computing power in the company's cloud was used this time.
Coupled with our leading AI algorithm, you can see the production speed and effect."
Bai Yeji's technical staff explained with pride.
"AI and cloudification... Sigh! Today's computer technology is developing so fast that we can hardly keep up..."
The editor, who was just in his early thirties, couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
What does the emergence of this technology mean to post-production personnel like them... Thinking about it makes me feel full of crisis...
"Have you finished chatting? After that, tell me whether our film can be completed on time!"
Han Fei on the side was not in the mood to listen to the two talking about technical details. Although he was also surprised, he was more concerned about whether his first movie could be released as scheduled.
"Hmm..." The editor stopped thinking and quickly calculated.
"Actually, film editing is not difficult, especially if you have already done it once. The second time you will become familiar with it and the speed will be much faster.
Mainly, some screen production requires the use of 3D modeling and virtual drawing, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
For example, the current car assembly animation, helicopter aerial photography, racing car accident scene and several other major scenes... Normally two months is considered fast.
But now with the AIGC software and the cooperation of Bai Yeji's technical staff, if we can maintain the efficiency and speed today...
I am confident that the finished film will be edited within 2 weeks!”
"Two weeks?" Han Fei suddenly looked happy.
This is equivalent to shortening the time by three or four times!
In order to catch up with the release, he originally reserved about a month for final touches on the finished film, but two weeks was enough time!
He said excitedly, "Okay! We will work overtime from now on. Even if we live here, we have to edit the film as soon as possible!"
Everyone has worked hard during this period, and the crew will never treat you badly. I will add chicken drumsticks tonight and double the bonus this month!!"
The crew members immediately cheered.
Improving editing efficiency by three or four times is naturally not the limit of zero.
From the museum theft case, Zero's on-site editing of the surveillance video without any violation can be seen that it is not difficult to make a film with one click.
Although movies have more artistic components, they require more detailed adjustments and manual intervention.
But it’s just a matter of spending more words...
However, if something so outrageous is brought out now, it will not cause turmoil in the industry, but will directly and completely destroy the rhythm of an industry.
Meng Lang didn't want to expose Ling's true strength, so he could only make the golden elixir perfection Ling a castrated version, suppressing his cultivation to the Qi refining stage...
And at the same time that Han Fei's crew cheered for seeing the light of day.
Just a few rooms next to him, in the office of General Manager Bai Yeji...
…
"Hey! I'm Hu Yifei! Hey... don't call me Mr. Hu, I'm not familiar with you!
Without further ado, let me ask you, is there a contract player named Duan Xiaoyi there?
Yes...I almost kicked you out of that one...
Yes! Immediately tear up her contract. From today on, she will no longer have anything to do with your club. Do you understand...
What kind of relationship? It’s your turn to inquire about our relationship?
If you stop talking nonsense, do you want me to ask Secretary Li to call your dad?
By the way, one more thing! Make a public statement in the circle, apologize to the girl, restore the person's reputation, and be sincere in your tone.
From now on, if you use your tactics more brightly, will you dare to offend anyone's sister?"
Bang! Hang up the phone.
Young Master Hu, who just now was training others as if he were training his grandson, immediately put on a respectful smile and made tea and water for the young man sitting next to him.
"Haha! Brother Meng, please drink tea and calm down. I have dealt with that grandson several times before, and he is just a playboy.
I've long heard that this guy is messing around in the competitive circle because his dad has a lot of money, and his reputation is very bad!
I didn’t expect that I would offend Brother Meng’s friend this time. Your friend is my friend. He is trying to make trouble with Tai Sui!
I also asked Brother Meng to make a trip in person...
If this were to happen in the capital, I would have to pull him out and whip him!"
"Haha! I didn't expect Mr. Hu, who is usually gentle and elegant, to have such an arrogant and domineering side."
Meng Lang smiled and picked up the tea cup.
He was not surprised at all that Hu Yifei settled a matter of life and death in ordinary people's eyes with just a few words.
This is the difference between those with background and those without background.
How could my brothers, who have spent several lifetimes carefully selecting their "background brother", not be able to deal with an ordinary rich second generation?
"Hehe! To be honest, Brother Meng, I used to be ignorant in the capital and have been a dandy for a few years. When dealing with these dandies, I really can't be polite to them."
"Um...the capital..." Meng Lang looked at Hu Yifei and asked suddenly.
"General Hu Weiguo is your grandfather, right?"
"Uh... Brother Meng, do you know? Haha!"
Hu Yifei smiled and scratched his head, not showing any surprise.
If someone wants to check the background of the Hu family, it will definitely not be difficult to find out.
Not to mention Meng Lang, who has great supernatural powers and is extremely mysterious in Hu Yifei's eyes...
Meng Lang was a little helpless.
After all, paper cannot contain fire.
If you want to catch up with Hu Yifei, you must show some tricks, which will inevitably attract the attention of some people...
He also has another identity, that is, the old man who will invite Meng Lang and the others to the Capital Hotel for dinner in the near future...
"Well...you haven't told your family about me yet, have you?" Meng Lang said helplessly.
Hu Yifei became anxious upon hearing this and quickly waved his hand.
"No, no! Absolutely not! Brother Meng, you have repeatedly told me not to be high-profile, but I have been tight-lipped from beginning to end.
Even if my dad asked me repeatedly recently, I only said that an expert helped me, but he definitely didn't say that the expert was you, Brother Meng.
Even if he threatens me to use family methods to serve him, I would rather die than surrender!"
Um……
Judging from Hu Yifei's expression, it didn't look like he was lying, but Meng Lang didn't feel happy about being kept secret at all, he just looked helpless.
"If your father asked you, you were tight-lipped. Let me ask you, if your grandpa asked you, would you still be tight-lipped?"
"Uh..." Hu Yifei was stunned for a moment.
My grandfather? How could a person like my grandfather ask such a thing?
But facing Meng Lang's staring gaze, he could only bite the bullet.
"That...no! I definitely won't say it!" He assured with some confidence.
"Really?" Meng Lang stared at him.
"Really...really!"
Although Hu Yifei tried his best to guarantee it, Meng Lang knew from the shaken expression on his face how the old general found him...
The rise of Bai Yeji finally attracted the attention of senior officials.
Smart AI, autonomous driving, Tianshu, wisdom tree, computing power supermarket...
As long as those who are willing to study these advanced technologies in depth, they will find that... they are so advanced!
Not only does it have a crushing technical advantage over related competing products on the market, even in the national defense industry, it is absolutely cutting-edge technology!
For the Chinese military, which has been committed to building a "military-civilian dual-use" industrial system for many years, it is not difficult to understand that it has noticed the technological application potential of Baiyeji.
Among other things, AI assistance, autonomous driving technology, and VR situational awareness technology are extremely important to the Chinese military’s drone project.
According to normal circumstances, if the military seeks cooperation with Bai Yeji, it will naturally receive corresponding technical support.
But if the old man from the Hu family knew through Hu Yifei that there was a mysterious person behind the scenes, there is no guarantee that he would not be driven by curiosity and take advantage of his opportunity to go north to get in touch with him...
After figuring out the whole story, Meng Lang didn't have much to worry about.
Contact with the Hu family was a matter of time.
If Wanwu Holdings wants to develop and grow to the point of influencing the world, it cannot do without the support of national power, and the Hu family is the best choice.
And what Hu Yifei knew about himself was limited to the "Demon Hunter", the main technology provider, as an intermediary, and at most a dog-headed strategist.
Even if the other party knew of his existence, he would never have thought that his small role would be the supreme leader behind the Gao Yuan Group...
There is a lot of room for flexible operation here...
"You just said that your father wants to see me?"
"Uh... yes, he mentioned it more than once, but I always tried to push it away, so that I didn't dare to go home recently." Hu Yifei said with a bitter smile.
The rise of Bai Yeji naturally attracted great attention from Hu Yonghua.
Coupled with the relationship between Bai Yeji and Gao Yuan, he naturally became more and more eager to know the details of this mysterious master Meng Lang.
In addition to concern for Hu Yifei, more importantly, there are doubts about the mysterious supporters behind Bai Yeji.
The identity of the middleman remains a mystery, and the core technical team "Demon Hunter" has never shown up...
No matter how you look at it, this company is a bit too mysterious.
"Well... in that case, let's meet!"
"Well! Brother Meng, don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut... uh... Brother Meng, what did you just say?"
Hu Yifei suddenly reacted.
"I said, we can meet."
It's only a matter of time before someone's grandpa comes to your door. Since you can't avoid it, you might as well not hide at all.
Hidden in the dark, although safe, it will inevitably give the other party the suspicion of being sneaky.
It would be better to have an open and honest contact to eliminate the other party's doubts.
After all, only by establishing basic trust can we have deeper cooperation...
"Really? That's great! I'll arrange it right away!" Hu Yifei was overjoyed.
Caught between two sides, the only one who feels uncomfortable is himself.
Seeing that his two goals had been achieved, Meng Lang planned to get up and leave.
Hu Yifei insisted again and again, but he only asked the other party to be sent to the door of the office.
It would be too high-profile if the hot and popular General Manager Bai Yeji walked out of the company in person...
However, the two of them had just left the office when they bumped into a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase.
"Huh? Secretary Li? Why are you here?"
"Haha! It's not about the two Tianshu ERP Government Cloud pilot towns. By the way, this is..." Secretary Li looked at Meng Lang.
"this……"
"Oh! I'm here to sell insurance!"
"Uh...yes! He...is here to sell insurance." Hu Yifei immediately agreed.
Secretary Li was confused.
Selling insurance...all the sales came to the general manager's office?
Are the security department and secretarial department all working for a living?
Also, as for an insurance salesman, Mr. Hu personally delivered it to the door?
How much insurance is this!
…
After leaving the office building of Bai Yeji Company, Meng Lang turned his head and glanced behind him in confusion.
