Romano nodded: "Yes, sir." In recent years, major breakthroughs have been made in the technology world, the growth of computer processor performance has completely broken Moore's Law, and artificial intelligence and robots have also frequently entered people's attention, which is a great science fiction theme. ”

An Feng is clear that it is not uncommon for GP companies to develop intelligence, which began a few years ago, and so far there is not much information released to the public, but an anonymous person broke the news that they have made great progress - which has also caused some excessive brain supplementation, concerns about artificial intelligence, etc.

With this as the theme, designing a wonderful plot, or leaving enough space for the audience to think, is the trend of science fiction movies in recent years, in addition to the equally popular is robots, the first generation of bionic of the robot company is very shocking, and the second generation of bionic is known as the all-round assistant of life.

"If there is this genre, I will be very interested." An Feng said, "I can even provide some real props, such as robots, exoskeletons or some other high-tech to make the movie look more realistic, what do you think?" ”

Romano nodded: "The current technology can be very realistic, but the use of real ones will be impeccable." ”

"And in holographic technology, there is also a lot of room for expansion......" When it comes to An Feng's favorite theme, his words really increase.

Romano is also following his hobbies.

Entertainment tycoons and investors chatted here, and celebrities and big names became foils for discussions. Joanna sits bored and is taken by Miranda to meet the stars she is interested in. Anyway, she watched a romance movie a while ago and secretly wiped her tears, and now she meets the heroine.

Miranda is well-known in circles, and she is now the owner of three fashion magazines, one of which is very famous in the West and is loved by ordinary people and celebrities alike - ordinary people buy to see what celebrities are doing. Celebrities buy to see others report on what they do.

So she is also a BOSS-like character, although she is not as good as the tycoons of the film company, but her husband has the ability, a big family, and a broad circle of friends, no one dares to underestimate her. On the other hand, if you can please her, you will be on the entertainment news tomorrow, and on the cover of the magazine the day after tomorrow, and you will reach the sky in one step.

Although the big names don't need this kind of exposure, they still have to have a good relationship with the media, Miranda brought a dame to them, no one dared to slack off, the acting skills were brought into play, and the chat was like an old friend who had known each other for more than ten years. There was frequent laughter.

Joanna knows that their purpose of pleasing themselves is not so simple, but whether it is in the entertainment industry or elsewhere, many people need to wear masks, and she can adapt to it indifferently when she sees more...... is just a little disappointed, she is substituting the movie role into the actor.

This can be regarded as a kind of longing for the loss.

An Feng and Romano chatted happily, and they also met many gold medal screenwriters and big-name directors, all of whom said that the next time they have a good script. It is acceptable to accept his investment and in turn reduce the burden on the film company. The company's investment is guaranteed, and An Feng likes the degree.

The reason for investing in movies with this theme is also that An Feng likes it, as soon as he likes it, he doesn't mind other problems, at most, he will throw tens of millions of dollars. Just to watch a movie you like. Nowadays, there are not many good films, he can still afford to consume them, and big productions are not necessarily losses.

……

This coveted Hollywood party was crowded with thousands of people, and everyone circled around the big names and tycoons. The latter is like An Feng's kind, and a few decisions of them can change the future of newcomers who are looking forward to coming out or big names who are eager to break through.

An Feng has seen a lot of blatant power and sex transactions, actresses are on the top, big names are playing style, the top parties in the entertainment industry take the entertainment nature to the extreme, and what's even more fun is that this party has prepared countless exquisite food, but there are very few people who can really move it.

It's definitely not that you're not hungry, starting at five o'clock in the afternoon, you can't eat a lot before walking the red carpet, beware of accidents, and then the awards ceremony lasts until ten o'clock, followed by a non-stop transition to the hotel for a more grand party, do you say hungry? But I was surrounded by the media from beginning to end, I didn't dare to eat a lot, I was really hungry, so I tasted a little bit, and I still had to be careful not to be photographed ugly.

An Feng didn't have many scruples, she should eat, but Joanna, like everyone else, ignored the food on the table and only drank a little champagne, but the difference was that they had been hungry all night, and she had eaten a snack in the car just now, she was really not hungry.

Looking at those hungry and panicked faces, An Feng can imagine the scene where after the midnight party, the celebrity's assistants ran to the side of the road to come to the burger and returned to the luxury car to give the celebrity mineral water to drink. He had heard of this kind of face-saving case before, so he brought a snack.

……

After successfully starving the stars until one or two o'clock, the party finally ended, but at one o'clock, An Feng had already retreated with his wife and got the result he wanted, it was boring to continue to stay and show people, Hollywood is a show for stars, not theirs.

An Feng is currently interested in three scripts, two are explorations of artificial intelligence, there is no standard for judging good or bad, of course, he doesn't like to deny all artificial intelligence, otherwise it will be a slap in the face; In addition, there is a robot script, which also involves a bit of intelligence, and the process is a bit like Asimov's "robot series", under the strict laws formulated by humans, will there be loopholes?

The three scripts are all from the hands of gold medal screenwriters, oriented to big productions, and also in line with the current trend, if An Feng provides some technical support, the shooting scenes will be more realistic, and even the "company" in a science fiction script is based on the San Jose Robotics Company.

Anfeng provided the company's robot to participate in the shooting, with the company's logo printed on it, and after it was on the movie, it was a product placement without a trace...... With a lot of strange ideas, he flew to the robotics company to see what stage the recent research and development was on.

The companies founded by An Feng have worked very closely together, such as Ann's Industries, Robotics Company, GP Company and Research Center, all of which have overlapping places and cooperate with each other, which is also in line with his original requirement to improve the technical foundation in all aspects, and it is now developing well.

The first generation of bionic machines has come to an end and has not been put into the market, and the company has invested money in the second generation of bionic robots. According to An Feng's idea that it is not involved in the military, the second generation is completely biased towards the field of life, although they are smarter, but the body structure is not suitable for the military industry.

"We've done 95 percent of the content, we've mastered the core technology, and the rest is some beautification," Hoffman said. ”

"That's our sample." Hoffman pointed to the bionic machine in front of him.

The second-generation robot has a large number of synthetic environmentally friendly materials. Like the first generation of lightweight alloys, exoskeletons and various defensive equipment are not used, the appearance of the second generation plus bionic skin, smooth, the purpose of research and development is to dream and serve mankind.

"The second generation is focused on intelligence, and there is no breakthrough in artificial intelligence from GP, but there are more flexible smart chips, which are used in robots, and it thinks better," Hoffman said. The first generation is the flexibility of the body, and the second generation is the flexibility of the head. ”

"Well done!" An Feng encouraged, "After the product is released, you will become a pioneer of intelligent robots!" ”

After he saw this generation of bionic machines, he had other ideas, the research on robots was completed, and it was announced that it would not be developed by humans in the future. The second generation seems to be fragile and primarily serves families. But in fact, Anfeng is interested in flexible structures and intelligent chips.

Physical strength can be changed and can take a bit of effort. But for the sake of prudence, there is no need to let more people get in touch with the robot army that is about to be built, at present, they are all dressed in the shell of civilian bionic machines, and as for promoting it to the market, An Feng does not have much sincerity - its price is very high.

The Hofmann group's biomimetic research is almost over, and Anfeng will no longer provide this technology. But good materials can't be wasted, bionic is only a small category of robots, more large-scale, more flexible than human structure of robots, it is collectively referred to as machine industry.

"On the execution of the order. Will there be conflicts? An Feng asked a question that both reality and movies care about.

"We use three laws to give the foundation of a robot program," Hoffman said. ”

"Asimov's?" An Feng said.

"That's right." They nodded.

The Three Laws of Robotics

The first law: Robots must not harm people, nor can they stand by and watch people being harmed;

The second law: Robots should obey all human commands, but must not violate the first law;

The third law: Robots should protect their own safety, but must not violate the first and second laws.

After An Feng received an affirmative reply, he said with a smile: "It's really interesting, maybe it's also a good movie theme!" ”

"Making a movie?" Hoffman asked.

An Feng nodded, he was very interested in the script of robots, there are many movies in Hollywood that shoot robots, but only a few meet his taste, such as the Terminator, these apocalyptic fantasies are just enjoyable, and "Artificial Intelligence", "I, Robot" is more interested in him.

With this in mind, he contacted Romano and discussed some details on the phone.

It was a strong production team that wrote the script, and Warner planned to shoot this kind of subject matter, and hired the famous director, James Brown. Cameron and the like may join, positioned as a big production, with an investment of one to two hundred million, but at present, there is a lack of funds and investors.

Hollywood film companies have changed a lot, in the past, they monopolized all the blockbusters that made money, did not accept investment, or used other methods to borrow loans, and only used a small cost to shoot, but when a company inevitably has financial difficulties, it can only accept investment at this time.

Obviously, An Feng is not short of this money, and he is interested.

In hindsight, he would support the film in the form of an investment plus a loan, and Warner, on the other hand, was shrewd and unwilling to accept too much of the investment, and instead talked to him about a slightly higher interest loan...... He doesn't care about these little tricks, he just wants to watch movies.

If you want to see a movie, you can invest in a big director to make it, and you may be able to see the film you like in two years. An Feng plans to invest in three films, saving the panic in the future, and the net-like investment may pay off. Although the probability is not large, Hollywood blockbusters lose nine out of ten, but it is not nothing. (To be continued......)
