Zhang Guoshi just thought drones were fun and didn't expect Xiao Qian to say such a thing.
I was stunned on the spot.
"This thing joins the opening ceremony? What can it do? Can you watch it fly? What's the point?"
Xiao smiled lightly.
Sure enough, people are always full of narrow perceptions of things they don't understand.
People today simply cannot imagine the spectacle and shock of the future drone show. But if it is taken out in this era, it will definitely have epoch-making significance.
"I've seen your rehearsal plan for the opening ceremony."
This time it was really not Xiao Qian's nonsense, he had really seen it.
Although the contents of the opening ceremony are strictly confidential to the outside world, they are not kept secret internally. With Xiao Qian's level, the contents can be learned.
In fact, the organizing committee and relevant departments also had doubts about Zhang Guoshi's plan, so they showed it to Xiao Qian, hoping that Xiao Qian would give some advice.
What Xiao Qian had seen was actually almost the same as the opening ceremony of the previous Olympic Games. There were still some differences in details, but they should be adjusted in the future.
When he said this, Zhang Guoshi was shocked and became nervous.
Master Zhang didn't accept anyone, so he accepted Xiao Qian.
After all, this was someone he felt he couldn't surpass in a field he was familiar with.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Qian is honest and polite.
"The content you created is absolutely wonderful. Even if we compare it with the opening ceremonies of several future Olympic Games, it should be first-rate."
He was not blindly praising Zhang Guoshi, it was the fact.
Think about the shabby opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, which was simply a preview of 2020. As for the 2016 Rio Olympics, it was almost a mess.
As for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, it is really a failure.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games directed by Zhang Guoshi was unprecedented and unprecedented.
But now in order to promote DJI, Xiao Qian decided to add some spice.
"However, your opening ceremony focused too much on tradition and did not show our country's current development and achievements. For example, there is almost no emphasis on science and technology."
Xiao Qian is not wrong about this. The opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games indeed paid more attention to highlighting the long history and traditional culture of the Chinese nation. The achievements displayed were all based on the theme of the four great inventions, but the modern elements were missing.
.
Of course, at this time, there is indeed not much that can be displayed in the domestic frontier fields of science and technology. Even if there is, it is kept secret.
But that’s not the case with drones, which have entered the civilian field from the very beginning.
Master Zhang was also worried about this.
"Many people are criticizing now, saying that we can only use things from thousands of years ago to make things happen. I also want to incorporate modern elements, but I can't find an entry point."
Xiao Qian pointed at the slowly landing drone and said with a smile: "Isn't this the right one?"
He was afraid that Master Zhang would not understand, so he began to popularize science.
"Unmanned aerial vehicles are currently a new thing. There are not many people doing research at home and abroad, and everyone's technical level is at the same starting line. But now that our product has come out, it has suddenly reached the forefront of the industry. It won't be released soon."
Unexpectedly, our DJI drones will become the number one brand in the world’s civilian drone market in the near future.”
These words shocked Guoshi Zhang so much.
In a world where Western brands are rampant, Xiao Qian dares to say that their products can be the best in the industry. This is not bragging, but he is really confident.
But he still knows too little about drones.
"What's the use of this thing? Just use it to make movies? If that's the case, the scope of application is too small and it won't have much influence."
Xiao smiled lightly, and the smile was meaningful.
"Who said drones can only be used to shoot movies? Think about it, how useful drones can be in areas with complex terrain where it is difficult for people and vehicles to pass? Can the police use this thing?
To track criminal suspects? Can we conduct investigations from a better angle? If drones are more mature in the future, can they be used for express delivery and takeaway?"
He paused and said quietly: "Now there is a camera mounted on the bottom of this drone, which can be used to take pictures. What if it is replaced by a machine gun or missile?"
Zhang Guoshi was fascinated by what he heard. After hearing these words, he trembled suddenly and finally realized something.
"This thing is really amazing."
Xiao Qian continued to induce Zhang Guoshi.
"The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games is not only a good opportunity to showcase our civilization and history, but it is also an opportunity to showcase our strength. If our country and nation want to gain a foothold in the world of nations, it will not work without showing off its muscles. This
Muscles include not only military weapons, but also private technology. These things can also enhance our national self-confidence and sense of honor. Once used properly, the gains will be immeasurable."
Zhang Guoshi was obviously moved.
But there are more doubts and it’s hard to scratch my head.
"I admit that what you said makes sense, but what kind of amazing performance can this thing perform at the opening ceremony? If it just flies like this, it's not worth seeing?"
Yes, Xiao Qian still has to work hard.
He asked his assistant to take the drawing board, paper and pen, and began to draw by hand for Zhang Guoshi.
"Of course one drone is nothing to see, but what if there are thousands or tens of thousands of them?"
Zhang Guoshi still shook his head when he imagined that scene.
"These things are too small. Even if there are too many of them, they are not eye-catching enough at night."
Xiao Qian wanted to hit this elm head with a hammer.
“Aren’t we going to put lights on our drones?”
"Ah...yes, why didn't I think of that?"
As soon as Zhang Guoshi thinks of the indicator lights on civil aviation aircraft, he knows that he is stupid.
Forget it, Xiao Qian was too lazy to argue with him and continued: "You did a fireworks show at the opening ceremony, right?"
Zhang Guoshi nodded.
"This is a must."
The opening ceremony of every Olympic Games basically has a fireworks show. Every country has its own ingenuity and comes up with many tricks.
Zhang Guoshi was very confident in this.
Just kidding, the Chinese nation may not be able to make gunpowder, but we are the ancestors of making fireworks.
Xiao Qian continued to ask.
"The fireworks show you put on has various patterns, right?"
Zhang Guoshi was confused again, but he still said: "Isn't this certain?"
Xiao Qian asked again.
"Then your fireworks show can make a dragon pattern? The dragon will fly in the air and change its shape."
Zhang Guoshi bared his teeth and grinned.
"How is this possible? The fireworks are set off at a fixed location. After they bloom in the sky, the patterns will dissipate soon."
Xiao Qian pointed to the drone and said: "With this thing, you can make various patterns that fly in the air and change shapes. For example, if we want a flying dragon, we can make the dragon fly in the air.
It can roll, it can climb, it can hover, and it can take various shapes."
Zhang Guoshi exclaimed.
"How is this possible?"
Xiao Qian used a drawing board to start the presentation.
"You see, in this way, using thousands of drones in an aerial formation, you can form different patterns. Then controlling the up, down, left and right movements of the drones, you can make many changes in the patterns. Is it possible to achieve what I said?
Something?”
Zhang Guoshi was sweating profusely and said anxiously: "There are so many drones flying around in the sky. What should we do if we hit them? Wouldn't it be an accident?"
Xiao Qian didn't speak this time, and Wang Tao stood thoughtfully beside him.
"It is actually not difficult to achieve what Mr. Xiao said. We can develop corresponding formation programs and use the programs to control the movement of drones, so there will be no accidents such as collisions."
What Xiao Qian said was very simple. As long as Zhang Guoshi imagined it in his mind, he would know how shocking the effect would be if the drone formation was really successful.
But this is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, no joke, and he must be cautious.
He suddenly turned his head and stared at Wang Tao.
"Can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong?"
Wang Tao hesitated slightly, but received Xiao Qian's encouraging look and felt courageous.
"Director Zhang, the editing and control program is actually some data. In our eyes, the difficulty is the lowest. Give us some time and we can complete it in about two months."
Zhang Guoshi was silent.
He was stuck in a decision-making process, wondering whether he should adopt this unprecedented performance method. But the pie painted by Xiao Qian was so beautiful that he really couldn't bear to give it up.
At the critical moment, it was Xiao Qian who showed him the way.
"In this way, there is still plenty of time. Wang Tao and the others will start studying the choreography and control of the drone formation performance when they get back. And this matter is not something we can decide here. You can report it to the organizing committee when you go back. What about me?
, and also communicate with the higher-ups. Whether it works or not, I will tell you later based on the results."
Zhang Guoshi breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, it is not him, nor Xiao Qian, who can decide to change the content of the opening ceremony performance. There is no need to worry so much now, just report it and be done.
And whether it will work in the end depends on DJI’s R&D results.
If DJI cannot develop it, then everything will be lost, and there will be no point in worrying.
"That's it, I'll go back and report now."
Zhang Guoshi acted vigorously and resolutely, and his efficiency was astonishing. He didn't even wait until the next day before he boarded a flight back to the capital.
The matter was serious, so just in case, Xiao Qian quickly talked to Li Zhen and tried to win the old man's support.
