Chapter 151 The research and development of AI special effects is blocked, and Huaying receives 60,000 film materials

Yancheng.

Jingwei Garden.

Chen Heyu sat in front of the computer, used the TensorFlow framework to load the trained model, then input the data for preprocessing, and left the rest of the work to the engineer.

"Old Wu, who developed the training model? The precision and recall rates are quite good, and the training speed and memory usage are also excellent."

He asked Wu Chen standing aside.

"The person in charge is Wang Hewei, a researcher who was recruited from Gugou Laboratory with a large sum of money last year. He is indeed very talented in model design.

We used the underlying model of Moss AI painting to optimize and reconstruct it, and took the first step with the model training team."

Wu Chen replied without hesitation, and the people under him did not hesitate to praise him.

"Oh? What's his current position?"

Chen Heyu nodded and asked with a smile.

"Senior researcher, good at algorithmic reasoning and model construction, just promoted to the first level last month."

Wu Chen knew what his boss was thinking and explained it slowly.

"If it's a little lower, he'll be promoted to engineer, and the quarterly bonus will be set at S level. Those who are capable must break the normal promotion rules, and we can't let people suffer slowly."

Chen Heyu said in a deep voice.

He did not know that without his influence, Wang Hewei would continue to work in Gugou and become a top scientist in the field of AI many years later.

The previous frenzied poaching operation, with generous salaries and a world-class welfare and bonus system, has attracted a large number of cutting-edge talents to the company.

Most of them originally planned to go to a beautiful country, but the salary and benefits of future technology are not inferior to those in Turtle Valley, and they are right at their doorstep, so there is no need to leave their hometowns to earn a living.

Stock options, health insurance, extended annual leave and family leave, supplementary pension plans, education and training, etc. are comparable to those of the most tyrannical multinational technology companies.

This is also the fundamental reason why rice cannot dig corners. It seems that the monthly salary of an ordinary researcher is less than 20,000, but the annual salary can exceed 300,000.

Other hidden benefits, when added together, are higher than the salary. Rice's attempt to win over people with a mere 30% increase is simply a fool's errand.

"Thank you boss for your generosity."

Wu Chen smiled and flattered him.

In the past few years of working in Future Technology, he needed money to give money and people to give to people. Although Chen Heyu's every project was extremely difficult, he never wrote a blank check.

As long as you have real materials, you can get promoted quickly and get a raise in salary.

"The current training results may not be suitable for the special effects lens processing of "Wandering Planet"."

Chen Heyu sighed.

The technologies involved in Ai movie special effects are complex and diverse. Although Future Technology has accumulated a certain amount of technology and chose to make breakthroughs from the most basic character modeling and physical simulation, it is still full of difficulties.

"Mr. Chen, I think..."

Wu Chen wanted to defend the team.

“I know that insufficient data quality and the lack of high-quality annotated data lead to poor model training results.

But errors in color processing and special effects synthesis are unacceptable to me, do you understand?"

Chen Heyu waved his hand and interrupted him.

If you have merit, you must be rewarded; if you have faults, you must be punished!

"Sorry, Mr. Chen, I will seize the time to urge engineers to solve these problems and improve everyone's understanding of the film business."

Wu Chen lowered his head and honestly admitted his mistake.

"At the data source level, I will find a way to solve it, but the data processing speed can be improved for me. Otherwise, no matter how large the memory is, it will not be able to support it."

Chen Heyu warned.

As for a large number of high-definition and complete video materials, it is natural to ask Mr. Han from Huaying for help.

In the more than 100 years since the birth of film, excluding TV series and neon movies, the number of regular films has been almost 200,000.

Moss Research Institute used web crawlers and image recognition technology to filter, deduplicate and format the data, and only 10,000 materials were barely usable.

In the Huaying material library, there are more than 60,000 movie backups piled up, accounting for 30% of the world's total. Only by feeding this data into the system can Moss AI accelerate its evolution.

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

Wu Chen thought for a while and replied.

After Chen Heyu finished explaining, he walked out of the office directly. When passing by the rest area, he called out to Lao Mo: "Send me to China Film Group."

Lao Mo nodded slightly, turned around, walked to the parking lot, and started a black Maybach.

"Hey, Third Master, I have something to trouble you with."

Chen Heyu took out his cell phone, dialed the number for the mountain eagle, and said with a smile.

"Did we encounter trouble during the filming of "Wandering Earth"?"

Mr. Han on the other end of the phone asked with a smile.

"That's not true. Guo Fan is still busy casting. Mainly because he encountered difficulties in special effects technology. Are you in the company? Let's chat in person."

Chen Heyu replied.

"Come on, just give me a shout when you arrive, and I'll ask Xiao Liu to pick you up at the door."

Mr. Han agreed.

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

Chen Heyu put away the phone and saw Lao Mo's car parked in front of him. He opened the door and got in.

If you want to buy Huaying's movie library for nothing, you probably won't get it, and you'll have to pay some blood.

Thirty minutes later, the car slowly stopped.

Huaying Headquarters.

After Chen Heyu got off the car, he asked Lao Mo to wait at the door.

He followed Xiaoliu, entered the Huaying Group again, crossed a central garden, and came to a 14-story office building.

Enter the lobby, take the elevator straight to the ninth floor, walk to the door of a conference room and stop.

"Mr. Chen, Director Han is waiting for you inside."

Xiao Liu said politely.

"Trouble."

Chen Heyu smiled and gestured, opened the door and walked in.

At this time, Mr. Han was flipping through a document with a serious face and deep and sharp eyes.

Hearing the movement at the door, he looked up and smiled: "Boss Chen, please sit down."

The future technology in Chen Heyu's hands has made tens of billions in revenue in just half a year. The photo editing industry and the mobile phone industry have to look up to him.

Mr. Han had heard of these rumors and couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him again.

Apart from being handsome and good-looking, I didn't realize how much he looked like a business tycoon.

"Third Master, I want to borrow Huaying's material library."

Chen Heyu sat down and went straight to the topic.

"Is it related to artificial intelligence movie special effects?"

Master Han asked curiously.

"Yes, Moss AI needs a large amount of high-quality video data and inputs it into the training model, so that it can have powerful video processing functions.

This step is crucial to the success of "Wandering Earth"."

Chen Heyu said calmly that the reason he talked about "The Wandering Star" was to remind the other party that Huaying also invested money and had to work hard.

Mr. Han was noncommittal, laughed softly, and said with a hint of meaning: "There is no problem just borrowing it, but what I understand is that in the future, Mos Ai will use these materials to splice new videos or movies?

If so, shouldn’t Future Technology pay copyright fees to China Film Group?”

"Old fox!"

Chen Heyu cursed secretly, but he didn't expect that the other party knew the working principle of Moss. It seemed that it was not easy to fool him.

"Third Master, I just borrowed it. The copyright fee is a bit excessive. Future Technology promises that it will not use these materials to play for profit."

Chen Heyu pondered for a moment and refused.

Are you kidding me?

The total royalties for tens of thousands of movies are astronomical, and he doesn't want to pay this money.
