The bus made a turn and headed north along the expressway.

Looking at her husband's smug face, Tang Jiayi suddenly said, "There is a problem!"

Atletico raised an eyebrow, "Huh?"

"Millions of people stared wide-eyed, but only found 4 characters, and there was no way to take the rest. I wonder what will happen if it is replaced by a bee eye in the sky? Can it find out?"

Bee has been researching video intelligent surveillance systems for a long time, and related technologies have been formed and products have been introduced to the market. This time, in order to cater to the thirst for "black technology" at the Data Expo, they integrated their own technology to produce two demonstration prototypes, "Urban Intelligent Monitoring" and "Outdoor Smart Billboard", with internal code names of "Sky Eye" and "Earth Eye" respectively.

The former has the ability to "catch thieves remotely", which can automatically find suspicious people according to the monitoring screen and automatically report to the nearby police. These features are not new, and the difference is only in the recognition rate and false alarm rate. In contrast, the latter is an unprecedented novelty product, this billboard comes with a camera, which can analyze the possible identity preferences of passers-by according to their clothing, behavior, and gait, and "watch people cook" to recommend products that may be more suitable for them, recommend diamond rings to single men holding flowers, introduce milk powder and walkers to women pushing strollers, etc., and sell school district houses to parents with senior elementary school students, etc.

Before the Atletico couple got on the plane, the data expo had been announced this morning, open to professional visitors composed of industry professionals, bees based on MI (machine intelligence) video analysis, big data matching world combination really attracted a lot of attention and discussion.

Hearing his wife's question, the smile on Atletico's face became more and more intense, "This question has already been asked, and we have also done this test. Sky Eye finally found 9 characters I played. ”

Tang Jiayi frowned, "Why is it so much?"

"It's a lot, computer vision is not omnipotent, because of the relationship between the focal plane of the lens, the system can't make a high-definition close-up of each target, and can only use the body shape, face shape and gait to distinguish the markers. These three tricks are more effective against ordinary people, but it will not work if you encounter professional actors and professional criminals, because these things can be disguised and changed through makeup, props and acting skills. ”

"Huh!" said the lady disdainfully, "You can be deceived by a casual disguise, so what's the use of asking for it?"

Raising an index finger and shaking it, Atletico defended: "You can't say that, reality is not a movie, the proportion of premeditated crimes is actually quite low, and those criminal masters with anti-reconnaissance experience are even rarer, most of the criminals are either ordinary people who are impulsive and out of control, or stupid rookies with poor skills." To deal with them, intelligent security can still be competent. ”

"Besides, monitoring without control can effectively reduce the crime rate, and the deterrent effect will only be higher if it is replaced by intelligent monitoring with identification and early warning functions. ”

"I hope so!" Nodding meaninglessly, Tang Jiayi looked at Atletico Madrid and pulled the topic back to the original path, "By the way, when are you going to participate in the movie? I have the impression that the number and time you have been to the crew are not very long!"

"It's true that it didn't take long," Atletico nodded, "I don't have many scenes, and the total appearance time of all the characters is less than half an hour, so I can take two or three hours to concentrate on shooting." ”

"So fast, even if you pass it all, it takes a lot of time to set up the set, change clothes and makeup, the actors move, and the director speaks, plus NG (bad and unsatisfactory performances, need to be reshot) caused by various reasons, how can you shoot one in a few minutes? This is too fast. ”

"Well," Atletico proudly stretched out his thumb and pointed at himself, "The main reason is that your husband's acting skills are so good, the director will act whatever he wants, and he will act like anything, and naturally he will not drag his feet in all kinds of ways." And then there are the technical means, in fact, my scenes are all added later, and everyone else has already finished filming, so naturally I won't waste time for this reason. ”

"Huh, so you actually plugged in halfway through, and you weren't there at all during the shooting?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'm very curious," Tang Jiayi raised her tone, "How did you shoot it? It's also a cutout synthesis, why don't you cut out the picture and shoot it out of yourself It's all kinds of chickens and ducks, all kinds of dimensional walls?"

"Of course, this is a technical reason," Atletico said, drawing a Cartesian coordinate system, explaining: "The real world is three-dimensional, but the camera's sensor is flat, and a lot of details will be lost from the three-dimensional object to the flat image, but as long as you make sure that there is no problem with the perspective relationship, parallax, light and shadow, in the eyes of people, the world is still three-dimensional and real, and this is the principle of 3D movies." ”

"In order to ensure the perspective relationship, when shooting CG movies, we will use green screens and props to build simple scenes to ensure that the orientation angle is completely consistent with the final CG scene. One is to provide the actors with an intuitive spatial relationship so that they don't have to be distracted by where to see and where to step, and the other is to occupy a place in advance to ensure that the perspective relationship between objects does not change. ”

"The reason why some synthetic lenses look fake at first glance is because they don't use good stand-ins and lighting, which leads to the relationship between perspective and light and shadow that is not logical, resulting in a picture full of disobedience, and the audience can see that the taste is wrong as long as they are not blind. As for us," Atletico said, holding up two fingers, "the camera we use is specially modified, and the laser scanning unit is used to record the 3D spatial information synchronously, so that the captured footage has its own spatial information, which will be easy to compose, and you can also preview the picture in real time through MR glasses and tablets during the performance." So, it doesn't matter if I'm not there. ”

"What about the lines?" Tang Jiayi quickly found the problem, "Those roles of yours were added later, how can others play against you?"

"It's easy," Atletico snapped his fingers, "just change the lines." Anyway, the people who interact with my characters are inconsequential little people, and changing the lines doesn't have much impact. Besides, ninety percent of the characters in this movie are just backgrounds, and one more sentence or one sentence less daily dialogue has little impact. ”

"Oh," Tang Jiayi nodded, and then remembered something, "By the way, it seems that it takes a lot of time to cut out the picture in the later stage." The half-hour movie is about 40,000 frames, and it takes months for ordinary post-production companies to repair it, but it doesn't work hard at all in your hands, is it also the credit of 3D scanning?"

"Only one-third, mainly in the post-production pre-production (part of the post-production work to the set up link) to improve the quality of the material, so that most of the work can be handled automatically by the software, and the staff only need to supervise the fine-tuning, which naturally greatly improves the efficiency. ”

"Then I can't figure it out," Tang Jiayi blinked, "Since the work of Yikuai's special effects is fast and good, why is the picture of the domestic film and television drama they took over so bad?

"This question should be asked to those crews," Atletico said, "and many crews demand that the special effects team be as fast as possible, and the cheaper the better." But they are not very interested in the post-production pre-positioning that can improve efficiency, and their scripts and storyboards are very informal, and they want to change one by one, and the post-production team is short of time and heavy tasks, so the things made can only be watched alive. ”

"Oh, so perfunctory, aren't you afraid of smashing the sign?"

"Don't be afraid, we have self-made dramas. The eyes of the masses are bright, and they naturally know who should take the blame. ”

Hearing him mention the self-made drama, Tang Jiayi remembered something and asked: "You mean, 'The Legend of the Ancestral Dragon' and 'Cosmic Miner'? They were also filmed like this, so the speed is so fast? It has been less than half a year." ”

"The whole process of studio shooting, no need to wait for the weather and other venues everywhere, the actual shooting only took a little more than two months, but it took a lot of time to prepare in the early stage, and it had to be counted from the time of the game of the same name, the two sides shared the world view, the characters, scenes, and props were all the same, and all that was needed was targeted fine-tuning. If it weren't for the time it took to render in the later stage, the two dramas might have been able to catch up with the opening of the year. ”

"It's good now, 'Daqin 4' plus 'Legend of the Ancestral Dragon', 'The Wandering Earth' and 'Cosmic Miner', just form a combination of a drama and a side story. ”

As an epic drama, the "Great Qin Empire" series is certainly loved by Qin fans and historical drama lovers, but it is not favored by mainstream viewers because of its serious and heavy themes, and the road to selling dramas has been very bumpy. The latest "Rise of Daqin 3" was filmed six years ago, but after being sold to CCTV, he waited for four years but got a main actor involved in drugs and was tragically returned.

Later, when Atletico heard about this, he came forward to buy the entire production company and invested money to them to continue filming the fourth part of "One of the Great Qin Empires".

With the local tyrant to do things, the fourth part was successfully filmed, and the third part also got the distribution license again after replacing the problem actors and re-optimizing the details. After 3 months, "Daqin 3" logged in to Qinwei and Jingwei at the same time, and was delayed on Bee Video and Ai Tucao Video Network (2 stations), and unsurprisingly achieved a good reputation and far better ratings than before. The results are good, and the second round of broadcasting rights has also been successfully sold.

When the second round of playback is completed, "Daqin 4" will take over the situation, and then the "ancestral dragon legend" of the nature of the outside world. As for "Cosmic Miner", because of the unique theme of the space chamber drama, this drama did not find a satellite TV simulcast, but it was ready to log in directly to the video website, and the 2nd station was already making a theme page for it.

"Of course," Atletico nodded happily, "it was planned for a long time. ”

"That's right," Tang Jiayi suddenly stared at the other party, "You suddenly increased investment in film and television, and you ended up in person, do you plan to play crossover again and transform into the film and television industry?"

"No, I just make occasional cameos, and it's impossible for me to transform into an actor. ”

After all, he doesn't lack the self-knowledge he should have. Atletico are well aware that he is not actually "performing", but "playing".

Thanks to the well-developed network, E7U has collected a huge amount of video materials for him, and extracted many character templates from them: doctors, teachers, students, thieves, policemen, as well as Xu Wenqiang, Zhang Wuji, Tony Stark, etc. All he has to do is select the appropriate template, click to activate, and then his micro-expression and gait will be replaced with the corresponding template, so that his temperament and demeanor will change immediately, and it feels like a different person.

With the sensory issues out of the way, the next step is to just follow the prompts and you'll be able to complete the whole show.

It's a pity that due to the completeness of the data, these templates have more or less flaws, resulting in more or less traces of axe chisels in Atletico's "performance", which is not mellow and natural enough. The reason why Atletico refused to play important roles and only picked a bunch of miscellaneous fish and dragon tricks to play was to hide their clumsiness and cover up their shortcomings, and the small roles appeared for a very short time, and they were usually not the focus of the camera, which was a perfect match for his template system.

"It's you," Atletico said, turning the subject back to his wife, "if you're interested in acting, I can arrange it for you, and it's still quite interesting to experience it once in a while." You don't have to worry about the role, we shoot so many film and television dramas every year, and there are a lot of suitable roles. That's it, Lingling, help me write it down!"

Zhu Lingling, who was sitting honestly on the side, nodded knowingly, picked up her mobile phone and made a gesture to make a note.

"No need! Lingling doesn't need to!" Tang Jiayi hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it, then turned to Atletico Madrid, and complained: "Aren't you making trouble? I'm so busy now that I don't even have time to dance, how can I have the time to toss this?"

"Time can still be squeezed out," his gaze quickly swept over the other party, and Atletico waved his hand and said, "It's really not good, you can still cut out the picture, just like me." ”

Tang Jiayi rolled her eyes, sat down peacefully, looked at Ma Jing and said, "What is the plan to persuade me to act?"

"It's nothing," Atletico admitted, "It's just that this Easter egg hunt game is more fun, and I want to do it a few more times." Atletico has already looked for it, and next time I will have to offer a reward to find Mrs. Ma. ”

"Forget it," Tang Jiayi shook her head, "The acting skills are too bad, I won't be ashamed." ”

"Don't worry! The power of technology is still very strong, and all the five tones can be cultivated into a hair singer, and the same hands and feet can also correct it for you. ”

Atletico tried his best to persuade him, but the other party just didn't nod, and when he was in a hurry, he also offered a big transfer technique, pointing to the tall buildings in the distance and commenting on it.

It is a strangely shaped building, with several huge columnar modules hanging on all sides of the slender central column, which looks like a building block tower stacked with glass strips, and like a modern lamppost, the whole avant-garde and unique, which is impressive. In an age where modern buildings are either straight up and down neatly, or crooked and ugly, there are not many new buildings that can strike such a balance as this one.

And there is also the destination of Atletico Madrid and others.

Exactly, their destination is nearby.

The 201-meter-high steel building is the sightseeing complex of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, and the exhibition center with 6 large exhibition halls and supporting conference centers next to it are the venues for this year's Big Data Expo, Big Data Summit, E-commerce Summit and other exhibitions.
