readx; Chapter 324 is going to offend people

Liu Fei was really busy during this time, although he only made an appearance at Liu Weiyuan's birthday banquet and then talked about business, but after leaving, Liu Fei still received a text message from Liu Ke, which contained only two words: Thank you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ(△)=

Liu Fei didn't know how he felt about Liu Ke's sister, he scratched his head, and Liu Fei didn't reply to his message, because Liu Fei was still very busy with the next things.

After the box office on the third weekend, Liu Fei met a person in the entertainment industry, who was not domestic, but the production manager of Universal Company. For Universal, it can now be regarded as a strategic partner of Liu Fei's side, and the other party is here, so it is natural to negotiate well. And the other party is here, and it will be more beneficial to Liu Fei's side to get up.

“…… In fact, Mr. Liu, we are here, not only because you have the technology in your hands, but also because this matter is also related to Activision Blizzard. "The representative of the global negotiation has changed someone, not the Rennes Donna that Liu Fei has seen before, after all, the other party is the CEO of Universal, and he has no time to negotiate outside all the time.

This time the person in charge of the negotiations was a middle-aged man named Temer.

"Activision Blizzard?" Liu Fei was stunned for a moment, how could this matter have anything to do with Blizzard again.

"That's right, Mr. Liu, we want to use your game technology, of course, not only limited to the current game technology, I admit that your company's game video has achieved poor results in film screening, and the box office is good, of course the technology is more advanced, but there is still a big problem, that is, about the characters in it, and part of the framing problem, so we want to use another means." Temmer spoke.

"By what means?"

"We want to work with you to make a movie, of course, strictly speaking, we are already working with you, Mr. Liu, because this movie was made for Activision Blizzard." Temmer continued.

"Oh, you're World of Warcraft." Liu Fei immediately realized that many years ago, when Liu Fei was a player, he had heard that Activision Blizzard would be afraid to shoot a Warcraft series of movies, but because of poor technology and other reasons, it finally failed. had to be delayed, and now the technology is really mature, and the next task is Universal.

"It's World of Warcraft, Mr. Liu Fei should know that World of Warcraft is in the same situation as your company's online game, so we want to catch the scene in your game, after watching your movie, I have a lot of confidence in the technical scene in your game, but ordinary game servers can't, I think, I hope your company can open a special server for us."

"Special servers?" Liu Fei raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it's a special server, a server specially prepared for filming movies, all the scenes in it, we have the right to adjust, some terrain, environment, etc., in addition, I hope that Mr. Liu Fei can be in this server, give some game characters when they talk, they will automatically lip sync." Temmer spoke.

"I need to call and ask about this." Liu Fei paused, Liu Fei didn't know if such a technology could be realized, so Liu Fei still needed to call to ask.

In front of Temer, Liu Fei simply picked up his mobile phone, and then called Die directly, "Hey, Die, I want to ask if such a technology can be realized." Liu Fei gave Butterfly all these requirements just now.

"It can be achieved, it's not very difficult, but it requires an increase in the maintenance cost of the server, and I also have to allocate a part of the computing resources, when you don't add a higher server body to me, this part of the computing resources is worth a lot of money, tell them, you can use it, but it costs 1 million US dollars per use." Butterfly said very dryly.

"Isn't it a little expensive?" Liu Fei hesitated for a moment and asked, although the special effects scenes of many Hollywood blockbusters are indeed very high, but those are the special effects scenes of the whole movie, not calculated according to time, what can be done in one time? There are many things that can't be done, which one of Hollywood's movies doesn't take long?

"Great value for money." Butterfly said very dryly.

"Okay." Liu Fei thought about it and agreed.

"Young master, you don't have to worry, in this way, we can give him free of charge for a week of global use, so that they can familiarize themselves with the whole system, in addition, in this server, they will have an auxiliary program, that is, this part of the computing amount that I personally assigned to help them design some environments." Butterfly said very dryly.

"That's it." Liu Fei nodded, and then hung up the phone, who Liu Fei was talking to, Temur didn't know, but it should be seen that it should be the technical staff of Liu Fei's company, and the attitude of Liu Fei to ask the other party should be to see if he can realize the technologies he proposed, in fact, Temer's requirements have been highly screened.

He didn't prepare Liu Fei to be able to satisfy all of them at all, for example, the characters simulated in the game can lip-sync when talking, this task seems very simple, but it is actually very difficult, because the simulated characters in the game are not ordinary real people, if you can match the accent when speaking, it means that the dubbing must be input first, and then through analysis, and then expressed through the game characters.

This is already two completely different concepts from the game engine, the game engine is only responsible for rendering the environment, but this already requires a huge amount of computation, although the other party's server is very powerful, yes, but the server and the amount of computation that needs to be used, these are two completely different concepts. Like game servers, it's more about accommodating more players, requiring more storage space, multitasking, and so on.

Calculations like this require a fairly concentrated amount of computation, similar to a supercomputer, and the two are not the same concept.

However, something happened to Temer's surprise, after putting down the phone, Liu Fei simply raised his head and looked at Temur and said: "We can fully meet the requirements of this server, but this server needs to be specially customized and requires a large amount of computing." Although Liu Fei does not understand how much computation is required for these technologies.

But butterflies are all over, such a technology requires it to divide a part of the amount of calculation, how terrifying is the amount of calculation of butterflies? A simple conversion will know the result, so Liu Fei simply put forward his requirements.

"Well, is it a matter of cost?" Temmer asked very dryly, the server needs to be maintained, so it must need to be calculated.

"Yes, it's a matter of cost, and we came up with the conclusion that it was $1 million." Liu Fei quoted the price.

"1 million?!" Temmer almost jumped up from the couch, the special effects are expensive, yes, but the special effects lens is the special effects lens of the whole movie, who knows that you are charged according to the fee here? One 1 million! The special effects shots of this step of the movie should not be formed in a few days, right?

"Yes, $1 million, of course, when the server is successfully built, you can try it for free for a week, which is our gift, and by the way, let you get acquainted with this special server, I can, it's worth the money." Liu Fei shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Okay." Temmer thought about it and didn't refuse, since the free trial is a week, and the other party is very confident that it will surpass the special effects that Hollywood special effects companies can make in 1 million in one time, then obviously the other party is very confident in this server. Although there may not be a proverb in foreign countries that a mule is pulled out to slip away, they must know this truth.

Wouldn't you know if you look at this? 7 free hours are given, which is enough time for them to rate how much the server is being used.

"I think that if Mr. Liu's server can exceed our imagination, I believe that there are many companies in Hollywood that are willing to come to Mr. Liu's server to consume. Of course, there are other countries, but there is one thing that you may have to be mentally prepared for, Mr. Liu. Temmer said with a smile.

"What?"

"You're going to offend a whole bunch of people." Temer's face was full of eccentricity.

"Well, I'm prepared for that." Liu Fei shrugged his shoulders, can this not offend people? First of all, the special effects company will definitely face huge pressure, unless they lower the price, but their price is lower, unless they can increase their speed, otherwise, there is no way to compare with the butterfly here, you know, the emergence of such a server is not only a problem of special effects price cost, but also a problem of speed.

For example, the special effects in the movie are made one shot at a time, and the production of such shots is very complicated, and sometimes a few seconds of the picture we see on the movie takes several or even a dozen hours to make. It depends on the complexity of the special effects, but what about butterflies? Liu Fei believes that it is estimated that it can be directly generated in a few minutes, or even ten minutes.

So even if it is the same price, at such a time, for the film company, Liu Fei's side must be chosen, because time is life, for the film company, a film company, and a movie, the longer the time it takes to shoot, the higher the cost. You don't have to know that salary alone is not a number.

In addition, it is estimated that Liu Fei will offend a group of people, that is, extras. If those NPC characters in this server, or the characters that can be controlled by some staff, can be matched when talking.
