Chapter 026: Showing the Prototype Again
"News spreads so fast?"
Ye Hua was quite surprised, but what was even more surprised was that he was still moving so fast, and even Cameron came in person in less than three days.
Before this, when Ye Hua was still a salted fish, he was also looking forward to the sequel to the movie "Avatar", and he also knew something, and after several bounces, the news said that the old truck driver was finally going to officially enter the filming stage, but he didn't expect him to come.
However, Ye Hua was soon relieved, it was obvious that Cameron must have seen the holographic display of holographic pictures with holographic equipment at the electronics show that day from some channels, so he came here uninvited, James Cameron's pursuit of film technology is well-known in the circle.
Ye Hua stood up, took a deep breath in his heart, and adjusted his state.
More than a month ago, he was a proper salted fish, and he never thought that he would be able to meet and cooperate with the CEO of Storm Technology in this life, nor did he think that a big name in the film industry like Cameron would come to the door in person, let alone refuse all the VCs who chased him, and to be honest, although it was very unpleasant to be rejected by others, this did not prevent it from being a very cool thing to reject others.
These things that have happened, are happening, and will happen in the future are telling this Ye Hua that the salted fish life in the past is gone forever.
After adjusting his mentality, Ye Hua got up and went out to greet him in person, after all, a movie star like Lao Ka is still very good, and after Ye Hua learned of Cameron's arrival, he had a new idea in his heart as soon as he learned that Cameron had arrived: If there is a well-known celebrity like James Cameron and a well-known film endorsement platform like "Avatar", the business expansion of Coastline Technology will be much smoother than imagined.
On the other side, three or five strangers came to the company, among which James Cameron and Zhang Zhizhong were shocked to see that there were only seven or eight young people here, and they didn't expect such a fantastic technology to come from such an environment.
At this time, Ye Hua came and recognized the old truck driver at a glance, and his short white hair was very conspicuous in it.
Qian Jing, who spoke English well, temporarily played the role of usher and translator, and after Ye Hua arrived, they introduced each other, and she smiled in fluent English: "Mr. Cameron, Mr. Zhang, this is Ye Hua, the founder and CEO of our coastline technology company." ”
"Mr. Ye, this is Mr. Cameron, this is Mr. Zhang Zhizhong, the head of Disney in Greater China."
The two sides immediately shook hands with each other, and Cameron smiled and said "hello" in Chinese, and the famous "tyrant" on the set looked approachable.
"Luckily!" Ye Hua showed an official smile, and then said: "I can understand foreign languages, but the spoken language is a little awkward, I speak my native language." ”
Anyway, Ye Hua doesn't know why, in addition to speaking, the level of foreign language is very good, and it is easy to browse foreign language pages, but he can only speak broken English, so he simply can't speak it.
As a man who is bound to achieve coffee in the future, he doesn't want to be blackened into a dog by melon-eating netizens and become a ghost animal, after all, Ye Hua has also heard of Rebs Lei's famous "single" "Are-you-ok", and no one can offend the vast number of melon-eating people, otherwise your mother will not know the black.
"It's okay, just let me act as Mr. Cameron's interpreter." Mr. Zhang, the head of Disney Greater China, smiled.
"Everyone, please, my temple here is a little small, don't mind a few big coffees." Ye Hua said teasing to himself.
"Where, where." Zhang Zhizhong smiled and said politely, the other party's speech and demeanor also made him look up to three points, it is quite rare to be so young and have such a calm temperament.
Ye Hua personally led everyone to the reception room inside the company, Qiao Wei heard that there was a new guest visiting, and when Ye Hua went out, he had already quickly tidied up the room, no way, the current coastline technology personnel and configuration are all there.
In the reception room, the host and guest sat down one after another, and Ye Hua said with a relaxed tone: "Just now I was shocked to hear that the top celebrities in the industry came to visit in person, and I thought about it to be the only one who could attract people like Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cameron to come here, Qianqing." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Qianqing, who understood what he meant and nodded and left the reception room, naturally taking the prototype of the holographic host.
James Cameron on the side listened to Mr. Zhang's translation, and was also quite looking forward to it, it was best for him to get straight to the point, Lao Ka couldn't help but say: "Mr. Ye has expected, I came because of holographic technology, to tell the truth, when Robert Iger personally called me, I knew that someone had developed a real holographic technology on the other side of the distant Pacific Ocean, and it was very shocking after watching the video." ”
“So…… If the sequel to "Avatar" jumps because of this, Mr. Ye, you have to share the firepower of the fans for me, I don't want to carry it alone. Cameron added humorously after speaking, and everyone couldn't help but laugh kindly, so far the atmosphere is not bad.
It didn't take long for He Hao to bring the holographic device, and Cameron recognized the thing that haunted him at a glance, although the appearance of the prototype looked comparative... Ugly, but it makes the scenes of "Avatar" extremely real three-dimensional, like a dream.
Cameron is really a director who is obsessed with technology, so he stood up as soon as possible and couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Ye, when can I take a look?" ”
"Right now, here." Ye Hua smiled, Cameron was slightly stunned for a moment, and he was looking forward to it, while Zhang Zhizhong was quietly observing He Hao's operation of the holographic host, and he was also very curious about the operating principle of this holographic device, and he really couldn't show that such an iron-style main chassis could become a high-tech screenless display device.
All those who don't know think that the core technology should be the host, but in fact, they would never have dreamed that the hardware equipment was assembled by Ye Hua completely from the market.
The real core technology of this device is not in the hardware, it can be said that it is in the software, the core technology lies in the display system based on the curved path algorithm, and an inappropriate analogy is like a computer based on the relationship between the operating system.
If someone else takes this prototype, it can be perfectly copied and cracked the operating mechanism of the device, but the key problem is that the amount of computation is too large, and if you want to meet the same scale of computation to achieve the imaging of the holographic device, you need to provide it with a powerful supercomputer as an auxiliary operation to do it, or you can get the curved path algorithm.
With the winding algorithm, a set of commercial-grade microprocessors can do it, just like a skyscraper, the winding algorithm is to take the elevator up, and others can only climb the stairs, this is the difference between the two.
If you don't have a curved path algorithm, then there is a way to do it, and that's to miniaturize supercomputers.
It is impossible to do it with the current level of science and technology of human beings, although the existing supercomputer can be satisfied, but then again, a holographic host needs a supercomputer worth hundreds of millions to support, then it loses its practicality, and commercialization is impossible.
This is also the reason why Ye Hua is relieved to put the prototype casually, even if it is taken away by others, it is just a hardware device of tens of thousands of yuan.
After a while, the lights in the room were turned off, which further allowed for the best possible images.
Cameron and the others stared intently at the equipment He Hao was operating the whole time, and when they saw the light curtain of the central ring appear and disappear, and then the entire dim room seemed to have moved to another world, which was very familiar to Cameron.
As a director who is keen on film industry technology, the old truck driver at this moment is indescribably excited, sixty or seventy years old, happy like a six or seven-year-old child, looking at the immersive world, the Pandora world created by himself, even if he is familiar with all the shots and scenes, this moment is also deeply shocked.
