Chapter 63: Robin Li's Private Information

"It's a bit unnecessary to wear a full suit, right?" After the makeup was done, Meng Fanqi was taken to the vicinity of the filming site.

The two staff members came forward and very skillfully measured his height, shoulder width, waist circumference and other attributes, and brought him a complete set of suits.

It looks like it's worth a lot of money.

Due to the nature of the job, the average programmer does not have much need to attend formal occasions, unlike some professions that require frequent contact with customers, and suits are standard.

Therefore, Meng Fanqi has never been in such a suit and leather in his two lives combined, and he is still in front of the white curtain and under the two lighted headlights of the shooting.

It made him a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay not to wear a suit, just wear a white shirt on top."

"It's better, I'm used to it."

Meng Fanqi, who had changed his clothes, walked in front of the two giant lights, but fortunately, he was the host of the department and was not too stage frightened.

But the various shots of the long guns and short guns were all aimed at him, which made Meng Fanqi's body work and expression a little stiff, a little at a loss.

"Don't be nervous, you'll be ripe once you give birth to it twice." Secretary Liu smiled and encouraged him beside him.

Last time, this young man came over and talked directly about technology with Li Yanhong and won such an exaggerated sharing contract, which made Secretary Liu feel very genius and mysterious, not like an ordinary person.

Today, I saw his ordinary side, and the young genius who could talk and laugh with Li Yanhong would also feel cramped because of a few shots.

This made her feel like she was getting closer all of a sudden.

"Here, look at the shot on the left, pose a little bit."

"Yes, yes... Look here, don't be so stiff, smile, yes, that's it. ”

"Change some positions, let's shoot more, and when the time comes, you can choose one after the film is processed."

Under the guidance of professionals, Meng Fanqi is also getting better. Since it wasn't a fashion blockbuster, I didn't need to change into a lot of different clothes or anything like that, so the shooting was completed quickly.

The shooting of short video materials is much more difficult, and this kind of video shooting with specific content meanings requires a certain amount of acting skills, and Meng Fanqi's shooting at first was not smooth.

But soon he found a spiritual victory method, so many little fresh meat male and female stars don't memorize words, and say "1234" with a plastic surgery face, and they can also be on TV and make movies when they have lines, so why are they embarrassed?

Thinking like this, Meng Fanqi quickly broke through the psychological limitations and completed the shooting.

After the filming here came to an end, Li Yanhong didn't come over for a long time, and Meng Fanqi waited in the venue for about 40 minutes before Li Yanhong arrived.

"I didn't expect the progress on your side to be so fast, some things, I'm really sorry to delay for a while." Li Yanhong strode over and patted Meng Fanqi on the shoulder.

"Where." Meng Fanqi didn't care too much, Li Yanhong's status is here, and sometimes it is normal that time is not easy to control.

In addition, this time I came over, and there was no agreement on when Robin Li would be there.

"The good news, I recently communicated with some senior executives of enterprises in the United States, and as far as we are concerned, the YOLO real-time detection algorithm is likely to trigger a boom in autonomous driving."

Meng Fanqi expected this matter, and it was also in his plan. But when I heard the news from Li Yanhong's mouth, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, real autonomous driving began in 2009, when Google secretly set up an autonomous driving research department, and a few years later, China has also had a lot of follow-up and achievements.

For example, in 2011, the Hongqi HQ3 unmanned vehicle independently developed by the National University of Defense Technology completed the high-speed full-course unmanned driving experiment of 286 kilometers for the first time, creating a new record of autonomous driving in complex traffic conditions independently developed by China at that time.

In 2013, Baidu also had the first self-driving car based on BYD's transformation unveiled at the Wuzhen conference.

However, these autonomous driving research actually have little to do with artificial intelligence and vision algorithms, and are more developed through traditional sensors and control theories.

In the previous life, it was not until 15-16 years after Alpha Dog subverted the Go circle that the entire human society really felt the power of AI, and artificial intelligence also swept the field of autonomous driving.

Autonomous driving methods based on vision algorithms are gradually becoming popular.

When Meng Fanqi was planning to cooperate with Robin Li, he had thought that the original real-time detection method of this level only appeared in 15-16 years, and it was covered up under the aura of Alpha Dog.

Now that it has been proposed in advance, can it also trigger the boom of autonomous driving in advance?

Judging from the content of Li Yanhong's private communication with some entrepreneurs in the United States, the answer seems to be yes.

Meng Fanqi keenly noticed that this would be a great opportunity for his assets to expand rapidly.

"Objectively speaking, autonomous driving will not be able to be put into use on a large scale until 2023." Meng Fanqi pinched his chin, recalling the context of the autonomous driving industry.

Although new smart car companies led by Tesla have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, the valuations of these companies have also been higher than one by one.

In the final analysis, there is no real sense of unmanned vehicles put into use, and these intelligent algorithms can only be used as an auxiliary after all, and cannot replace humans.

However, this does not affect the optimism of the capital circle about the commercial application of unmanned driving technology and the broad business prospects.

After Alpha Dog attracted the world's attention for 16 years, artificial intelligence completely broke the circle and entered everyone's field of vision.

In just 30 days, the total value of investments related to autonomous driving has increased by four or five times.

"At that time, it is not an exaggeration to describe 'people lying at home, money from the sky', even if investors don't know anything about autonomous driving and artificial intelligence, as long as they hear that it is an autonomous driving project, they will be eager to do so, for fear of missing this excellent investment opportunity."

From Meng Fanqi's point of view, it is by no means an exaggeration to use the term "savage growth" to describe that period.

Everyone seems to think that with the Alpha Dog defeating Lee Sedol, with the help of artificial intelligence, autonomous driving seems to be a matter of course within three to five years.

Meng Fanqi remembers that many autonomous driving companies and executives of automobile companies have shouted the slogan of achieving mass production of autonomous driving in three or five years. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has also said that a fully self-driving system will be launched in 2018.

However, with the passage of time, artificial intelligence in the automotive field has not replicated the dimensionality reduction blow of the mobile Internet to traditional industries, and autonomous driving will be realized within 3~5 years, which will become a complete joke in 2023.

Compared with huge investments, none of the autonomous driving companies have a timetable for large-scale commercialization, and it is far from profitable, and the company needs to continue to invest heavily to grow.

Meng Fanqi shook his head, he would not put much energy into the direction of autonomous driving, but since Li Yanhong's intelligence showed that the algorithm he proposed in advance was likely to trigger an autonomous driving boom.

It's a very good plan to go in and make a lot of money.
