1123 The stadium becomes a virtual theater, changing the technology of three industries
Regarding William's statement that he could make 99% of the people in an industry unemployed, Daddario's eyes widened with fright, and he covered his mouth in disbelief and kept shouting, "Oh, God."
But when I think about the technology-related things that William has built, and what his parents have said about William's position in the gold market, I feel that it is natural.
He said in a somewhat stuttering tone, "You, you have already gained the reputation of a tyrant in the gold market, and now you want to be the emperor of the special effects industry?
Aren’t you afraid of being resented by the thousands of people who lost their jobs because of you, and ruining their families by the way?”
William shrugged, it didn't matter whether the Americans were unemployed or not.
And he is no longer a novice. If he wants to subvert an industry, or rule an industry, he will certainly not choose an industry where dozens or millions of people work.
To be honest, the number of practitioners in the special effects industry, not to mention compared to other industries, is not that large even in the programmer industry.
Moreover, the American guy himself has already placed 50% to 60% of his special effects business in countries with low taxes and subsidies. Even if he is scattered like this, he won't be able to make much of a splash.
Besides, as long as the company is placed in England, even if the Americans have objections, I believe that England's first Richard, after seeing those taxes, will withstand the pressure without William's words.
After thinking about this clearly, William narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, things are not as troublesome as you think. Not to mention that I have reduced costs for the film company while cracking down on the special effects industry.
As long as I am fighting against each other, it will not be that easy if someone wants to cause trouble for me.
As for some people who want to play dirty tricks, hey, it’s not that I look down on these ordinary companies, even if the government of the United States, I don’t care.”
Daddario was instantly excited by William's confident look, and his eyes blurred. Then, William looked at her as if he wanted to devour her, and she leaned on his shoulder in panic in fear.
"But what if the whole industry unites to fight you?"
"No one can compete with me on the server." William took a few deep breaths, worried that he would make a fool of himself, patted Daddario on the back, held her hand and said while walking,
"The combined computing power of all the servers in the United States is probably not as good as the servers in one of my bases.
Therefore, as long as I want, I can raise the price of special effects rendering to the current seven levels, or even five levels, or three levels. At the same time, I can make these people unable to use it and sue me for unfair price competition.
With huge cost savings, do you think those Hollywood companies will kneel down in front of me and call God for their own profits?"
Daddario, who has been in Hollywood for several years, nodded fiercely. Of course she knew that in order to make higher profits, the film company would not even kneel in front of William, even kiss his shoes.
For a moment, Daddario looked at William with tenderness and affection in his eyes. He thought he was hugging diamond legs, but now it seems that they are diamond legs. A complete disagreement can destroy a person.
Industry tyrant.
Seeing a smile on Daddario's face, William simply did what he said, covering his ears and said, "On Sunday, help me build a hundred 3D virtual imaging drones.
It is required that drones can display more realistic pictures in reality than those special effects scenes in movies."
Sunday paused for a few seconds and then said, "Sir, if you want to achieve the most realistic effect in reality, this kind of drone will involve adding various attack methods. Are you sure?"
"Sure," William thought for a while and then said, "After you build it, you can send me the video of the test, and then use the story in the myth as a blueprint to create some big scenes."
"Understood, sir, the first video is expected to appear in front of you in three hours."
William smiled and nodded, pulling Daddario to speed up and walk towards Stark and his group who were dozens of meters away.
Stark chattered impatiently without waiting, and Obadiah smiled and said, "William, why are you talking for so long?"
Daddario immediately looked at William, and William thought for a while before looking at Richard and said, "I was inspired by Daddario just now and came up with an idea that could change the special effects industry."
Speaking of this, William deliberately stopped and pretended to think.
When everyone heard that William had a new idea, they all looked at Stark, making him frown, and then everyone focused on William who was thinking.
Daddario looked at William in surprise. She knew that William was lying, but looking at William's expression, she couldn't help but wonder to herself, are most successful people good actors?
Then she began to pretend to be shy and waited quietly for William to speak.
"No, if I can come up with more advanced technology, I can also reduce the cost of special effects by two or three levels.
Judging from the current profitability of the special effects industry, the vast majority of special effects companies will be unable to make ends meet, so instead of changing the industry, they will subvert it."
Upon hearing that it was only in the special effects industry, everyone present except Richard, whose family owns shares in Disney, were a little disappointed and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
It was about his own business, so Richard hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked anxiously, "William, what technology did you come up with?"
William thought for a while, how much technology would be needed to realize the realistic scene of the battle with elemental creatures in the Spider-Man movie.
Then I thought about eight or nine years later in the movie, Stark himself bought a realistic version of the virtual generation technology from the villain of the Spider-Man movie.
After confirming that no one could imitate it in a short period of time, he smiled and said to Richard, "Use drones to project virtual images in reality that can look real.
Not only can it greatly save labor and capital costs, but on-site shooting can also save months or even a year of special effects production time. Is this technology considered subversive?"
Richard quickly remembered that William had previously used his mobile phone to scan the surrounding mountains and projected a virtual mountain image for the sake of safety, and he understood what the special effects he was talking about were.
In addition, when he thought that the cost could be reduced by two or three levels and save a lot of time in special effects production, Richard nodded helplessly and excitedly,
"If it's true as you said, then as long as I call back to Disney, not only will the management come to see you as a shareholder, but other major shareholders will also come to see you immediately."
William understood what Richard meant as soon as he heard it, and curled his lips and said, "Want to discuss how to acquire the technology I have?"
Judging from William's tone, he knew he wouldn't sell it. Richard shrugged, "It's better if you don't sell it, otherwise Disney might be controlled by you because of this technology."
"However, I think if you are willing to exclusively license the technology to Disney, we shareholders will definitely be willing to reward you with 10% of our shares."
"Come on, give me back 10%. Do you think I have never seen the money or do you think I don't understand the market?"
William squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Keep it in hand, this special effects company will be worth more than Disney in a few years."
"Moreover, if several major Hollywood companies join forces and don't use my technology, then I will immediately ask England's independent television station to start producing special effects short films and show them to European film companies.
I will let the world know that Hollywood film technology is no longer the most advanced.
When the time comes, the Gallic Rooster and the Germans will definitely be willing to challenge Hollywood's position in the world."
William said with a smile, "After all, you have defrauded investors from several other countries for quite a lot of money over the years."
"This, this~~".
When he thought that the film industry was no longer centered around Hollywood, Richard felt that the value of Disney's shares might be cut in half in a few years.
After thinking for a moment, he apologized to the people around him, "Sorry, I have to make a phone call."
Obaday and others immediately nodded. Compared with the family business, playing golf is not worth mentioning.
When Richard hurriedly walked about ten meters away with his mobile phone, Obadai and others immediately surrounded him.
"William, how long will it take to develop this technology?"
William smiled and said, "In three hours, the test drone should be built. Then you can watch the special effects movie in the open space."
Speaking of the open space, William was stunned immediately.
nm, if it is played in an open space or in a huge indoor space, then the 3D screen will be useless in front of virtual imaging.
If the cost is no more expensive than a movie ticket, or even only twice as expensive, then the cinema will be defeated by itself.
Maybe we can have a grand event of 60,000 people watching a movie at Stamford Bridge in Chelsea.
If the response is good, it can be used to play movies in the stadium when there is no football match in the future?
Thinking about it this way, how many stadiums in Europe must be able to accommodate, measured in tens of thousands?
Even if a stadium only shows one movie a day, it can attract all the nearby spectators.
Moreover, the main group of people watching football are young people, who are definitely willing to experience a more immersive movie journey than 3D.
If there are really people watching, these stadiums will definitely be willing to earn a share of the movie tickets when there are no games.
Everyone saw William in a daze, and then someone also thought about the problem of broadcasting.
"God, I originally thought the prospects were not too great, but if you can even solve the broadcasting issue, won't all the film companies around the world have to act based on your face?
Even if you have a way to get rid of the monopoly problem, even the film companies will...".
"It's impossible, not to mention the issue of monopoly," Obadiah immediately shook his head and said, "Do you know how many movies are produced in the world in a year?
Moreover, to set up a film company and produce movies, you have to deal with actors, directors, screenwriters, behind the scenes, and various guilds.
You also have to handle distribution in various countries, and you even have to keep up with the market to know what the audience wants to see. If you don't pay attention, you will lose money.
There are too many troubles here. How can the film companies that exploit the world make money quickly, make a lot, and make money securely?"
"William, are you interested in letting us take a share?" Obadiah touched his bald head and said with a low eyebrow, "Although we are not people in the film industry, we have funded a lot of serious customers.
Even if you temporarily want to attack the film companies in order to gain the initiative, don't forget that the United States is the largest market, and you still have to enter this country in the end."
China is the one, William thought silently, but he didn't want to go to China. After finally establishing a foothold in a country other than the United States, just like Obadie said, he still had to enter this market.
But then he thought that since he didn't set up a film and television company, he wouldn't have any movies to sell to the United States, so he would have to beg the Americans.
Besides, do you lack this little money?
The worst-case scenario is that only some European film companies will ask us to do special effects, and there are no well-known special effects companies in Europe. They will definitely welcome us with joy so that they can challenge Hollywood's status.
Therefore, after William said this with a smile, Obadiah and others' faces immediately turned dark.
"Hey, it would be great if you were born in the United States." Obaday looked at William with emotion, and then said to the shareholders around him, "Then we people can probably follow him and occupy all the research related to William's research.
market”.
Seeing everyone present nodding, Stoker moved his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute.
Although he has also developed virtual imaging, the difference between the outdoor image and the indoor image is still very big.
At least you have to consider factors such as light, dust, weather, etc., and drones are not his main field of research.
If he wanted to make a product of William's level, no matter how confident he was, he still felt that it would be impossible to make it in a short time.
What's more, after hearing William say that the finished product could be made in three hours, he thought that William had already studied these things and that they were the side results of other research projects.
So what if he beat William in this field? He might have already launched a more profitable project by then.
Thinking of this, Stoker felt that he should focus on weapons, machinery manufacturing and energy, which he was best at, lest he fail to surpass William in other fields and waste his main business again due to distraction.
In this way, Stark himself did not realize that he had actually placed William above him in his heart.
However, he took a step back and thought about defeating William in the golf competition.
While waving to his caddy more than ten meters away, he said to William, "Okay, don't worry about that guy Richard, he can't keep up with us anyway."
After saying that, he took the caddy, Little Pepper, bodyguard Happy and others to the bunker only 30 yards away from the green.
30 yards is less than 28 meters. Stark still has a lot of confidence in saving this kind of ball.
Sure enough, following his caddy's explanation and Jarvis's prompts, after swinging the golf ball, the golf ball jumped high, landed on the edge of the green, bounced, and then rolled towards the hole.
Under the regretful eyes of Xiaojiao and others, he stopped half a meter away from the green.
William shrugged, rubbed Daddario's face, took the club handed by the caddy and walked to his golf ball.
I looked at the flagpole of the green and lightly hit the ball. It landed on the edge of the green with the same accuracy and slowly rolled towards the flagpole.
"nice shot".
To be honest, hitting the green at a distance of 120 yards is much easier than Stark saving the ball in a bunker at 30 yards. But William is the one who attracts everyone's attention. The applause and praise are certainly better than Stark's.
Want more.
Holding the brim of his ball cap, bowing his head slightly to salute the people around him who were applauding him, William led the smiling Daddario to the green.
