Gu Bingjun looked at the software name of the entertainment translator in the document and was silent for a long time.

In fact, my heart has long been completely confused.

Could it be that he has advanced to an era where software development is entirely dependent on imagination?

After experiencing the various functions of Hepao, Gu Bingjun felt that the various functions realized by Hepao software had basically reached the upper limit of his imagination, and then the project of minimalist programming once again broadened his imagination.

However, after listening to Wang Yufei's introduction to the national idol, Gu Bingjun once again began to sigh at the lack of his imagination, and when he didn't understand how fans can achieve from the national idol system, Wang Yufei told him that there was also a software called Entertainment Translator for supporting use.

Just looking at the name of this software, Gu Bingjun feels that this software must not be simple.

He didn't bother to click on the detailed introduction of the software, just looked at Wang Yufei, waiting for another surprise, or fright.

Wang Yufei opened his mouth and asked: "I believe that Mr. Gu can probably judge the function of this software after reading the name of this software, right?"

However, Gu Bingjun shook his head and replied, "No, to be honest, I don't dare to judge. ”

Wang Yufei simply introduced: "We all know that entertainment is a very broad concept, but the threshold for Chinese characters is the lowest. A lot of good ideas are put into writing and then expressed in other art forms. ”

"And there are many carriers of words, prose, poetry, and so on. And the main function of this software is to convert text into images. Of course, not all text is sufficient, and the user needs to write it into a document in a standard format. ”

"This standard document format is similar to a script, but it's a little different from a script. There are detailed instructions in the software, so you can check it out if you are interested. Its significance is to make the video adaptation not have a threshold. Small videos with artistic conception, small videos that are amusing, and even long-form series and big movies can be made with it. ”

"For example, if our user likes a book and really wants to make the book into a TV series or movie, he can contact the author or copyright owner to buy a special copyright. Then, according to the standard format, the content is converted into a standard document that can be recognized by standard software, and then a video or animation is generated. ”

"So where to choose the role at this time? Naturally, it is chosen from the virtual idols of the national idols. The two apps share the same material database, and users can choose characters among national idols according to their understanding and preferences of the characters. You can also post the task he wants to shoot among the national idols, and let fans recommend themselves and vote, so that a benign interaction is formed. ”

"Of course, it's much more than that, if talented fans are willing to write songs for virtual idols and buy songs to a certain scale, they can also use entertainment translators to hold grand concerts. Even if in the future, if there are virtual idols in our national idols to unlock certain achievements and there are enough fans to support, the company can also use various channels to help these fans promote the virtual idols. It is even possible to practice a dedicated company to organize a concert for a virtual idol. Luo Tianyi knows, right? The current technology is stronger than before, and it is not difficult to achieve holographic technology. ”

"This is just a near-term plan. When there are more and more users in the future and more and more idols are designed, in order to help those unpopular idols become famous, the entertainment translation machine can also be upgraded, such as holding various virtual idol talent shows for small groups from time to time. is similar to The Voice of China, various men's and women's group drafts, as well as the king of comedy and the like, helping unpopular idols in various categories to expose their popularity. Therefore, in the planning, the national idol plus the entertainment translator is a complete virtual idol production ecological factory. Does Mr. Gu understand?"

Gu Bingjun nodded expressionlessly.

Of course, he could understand what Wang Yufei meant.

But he couldn't understand how it was done.

Even though the macro language has refreshed his cognition, he really has a problem.

So Gu Bingjun opened his mouth and asked: "Can the user's ordinary computing power support software that requires large-scale computing like the entertainment translation machine?"

Wang Yufei nodded, sighed regretfully, and said, "Yes, that's the problem." The computing power of mobile phones is definitely not enough. Therefore, the entertainment translator is divided into mobile version and computer version. The mobile version can only watch the made videos and post various tasks on the national idol. Making videos is only available on the desktop version. ”

"According to my previous tests and calculations, generally speaking, a standard document of 2,000 words, with various descriptions within 500 words and a plot overview of 1,500 words, can generate about 20 minutes of video content. On a mainstream computer configuration, without running any other software, it will take about 12 hours to synchronize the 20 minutes of content. If it's an anime, it can save about two hours, and it only takes ten hours. ”

"Of course, if you count the time to make post-production changes before the official release, it takes about 13 or 4 hours to make a 20-minute episode. However, the good thing is that if it is a long-form adaptation, you can first make each standard document, and then start batch production through dozens or even hundreds of computers, and then make post-production in a unified manner. With the computing power of ordinary PCs at this stage, it can probably only do this. ”

After listening to this, Gu Bingjun was silent again for a long time before asking: "So if there is a descriptive error in the document, or a text logic error, what will the translated video look like?"

When Wang Yufei heard this question, he immediately became energetic: "This is the most interesting part." It is impossible for the text to describe the plot in great detail, so the software's algorithm has a function of randomly filling in the missing content. For example, the Wandering Earth, which was very popular before, you know, right?"

Gu Bingjun nodded blankly.

Of course, he knew that he was still abroad at the time, and he had specially found a theater to watch it.

"Then you must have also read the original work of The Wandering Earth, it can be said that the movie The Wandering Earth is a god of the original work, right?"

Gu Bingjun nodded again and replied, "Yes!"

Wang Yufei said: "So our software can also do this kind of god expansion according to the algorithm." According to the theoretical design, a standard 300-word document can generate up to 90 minutes of video. What is 300 words enough? Basically, the necessary content of a standard document can only be summarized in one or two simple sentences, which in our opinion is to explain who the protagonist is, what his personality is, and the cause and effect of an event. The remaining 90 minutes are automatically generated by the software. Isn't it interesting that no one knows how to design the middle plot of the translation opportunity before the software is completed?"

"But ......"

"That's right, Mr. Gu, the average user must not be so capricious, because if you do this, the consumption of computing power will be extremely amazing, if it is a personal PC with mainstream configuration, it will take at least two or three years to generate such a movie. And the content can be very exciting, or it can be sparse. However, if we rent a supercomputing center to produce these kinds of movies in large quantities, we may be able to reap a lot of surprises. ”
