The number one soft rice king in the entertainment industry

"To fight wolves, we need to find the wolf king. To fight Disney, we must seize Disney's biggest pain point. Disney's biggest capital is the animation IP in its hands. Therefore, we must work hard on the animation industry. This is my two God's plan..."

Su Yang took out a planning book from the drawer and handed it to Tang Qing. Tang Qing took the planning book and read it carefully.

"The Grand Animation Strategy..."

Looking at the cover of the planning book, Tang Qing read out five words slowly, and then threw the planning book on the table.

"Too lazy to read, tell me..."

Tang Qing moved his butt, then raised one leg and placed it on top of the other, directly raising Erlang's leg.But from Su Yang's point of view, the picture is so beautiful.

With two long legs wrapped in black silk and a blue professional dress, I can clearly see the scenery in the group through the gap.Su Yang watched this scene with a hot face, and Su Yang is now in his prime.

Man, who can stand such hooking up.

Seeing Su Yang's evasive eyes, Tang Qing smiled.In fact, Tang Qing's heart is hot and hot at the moment, and as he gets older, Tang Qing feels that it is becoming more and more difficult for him to suppress his emotions.There are not only emotions involved, but even some physical needs.

The harder the heart is suppressed, the harder it is to suppress many things.No matter how depressed she was, Tang Qing felt that she would collapse.So now Tang Qing's mentality began to change, and he quietly persuaded himself a little bit every day.In the face of his love for Su Yang, Tang Qing also began to release a little bit, and even became a little bit more active.

"Animation is the foundation of Disney, and it is also our foundation. Therefore, we must start more animation projects and cultivate more animation IPs. As long as we have enough animation IPs, as long as our works are better than Disney's, and Our output is higher than theirs, so we can grab food from their mouths. It has reached this point, how can there be any strategy. It is head-to-head, fist to fist, work to work, speaking with quality and production..."

Su Yang's words made Tang Qing laugh.

"That means, it's over!"

Tang Qing looked at Su Yang, and deliberately made a certain word with a charming voice. Hearing this sentence, Su Yang gave Tang Qing a bitter and complicated look.

Chapter 651 Plan ahead: Catch Disney's [-]-inch Dozen

"Go, I'll show you something..."

In the office, Su Yang stood up.Tang Qing watched Su Yang get down from Su Yang's desk, but his face was full of curiosity.

The two walked out of the office and went directly to the animation subsidiary.

The company was very busy. After everyone saw Su Yang and Tang Qing, some people nodded slightly and continued to be busy.

The scale of the entire animation subsidiary has expanded a lot, and the layout of the animation company here is easy to find.Entering the company, you can see project departments one after another.Each project is independent, and you can directly enter the project department if you want to find a project.

Tang Qing rarely came to the animation company to hang out. After all, Tang Qing was in control of the overall situation.In many cases, it is the boss of the subsidiary company who reports to work, and the rest is delegated.

Looking at the dazzled project department, Tang Qing realized that the animation company already had so many IPs before he knew it.

"In fact, the animation company has been preparing for a long time, and the head-to-head confrontation with Hollywood giants has long been expected. Two years ago, the animation company started some projects. These projects are the ammunition we have in reserve. Now it is almost time to take Out……"

Su Yang said with a smile, which made Tang Qing laugh.Looking at Su Yang's eyes, there are tenderness and admiration, and it's true.

Prepare for a rainy day. There are many things in the company now, especially about the project. Tang Qing and Su Yang have a very clear division of labor.Tang Qing took control of the overall situation and dealt with some major issues by himself.

And Su Yang is responsible for various projects of the company. As the project director of the company, this is a very worrying job.

The two walked to the deepest part of the animation company and stopped at the entrance of a project department.

And there is actually a security gate at the entrance of the project department, with a security certification on it.Not the staff inside, no one can easily go in.

There is no specific name on the entire project department, only a huge X logo.

"This is the X department of the animation work. The role of this department is to reserve ammunition. To produce some projects that don't need to be taken out yet, you can understand it as a spare tire. When you need it, take it out and use it..."

Su Yang's teasing words made Tang Qing laugh.It turns out that this department X is such a department.But now Tang Qing is even more curious about this department, curious about what is in the animation company's spare tire.

Su Yang and Tang Qing entered the interior, passed through the security gate, passed through another gate, and finally entered the department.And there is another world inside the department.

It seems to be another small company, and there are many separate departments in it, but there are only numbers on them.Everyone responds to work in their own project teams, and each project team also keeps secrets from each other.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Su..."

Seeing Tang Qing and Su Yang coming in, everyone greeted them warmly.Some people have even more enthusiasm in their eyes, because everyone who works here is waiting for when their projects will officially become regulars.Seeing that the work they have worked so hard to produce cannot be released, they feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, people in the entire project department sometimes tease each other, asking when their projects will be turned over by President Su.

"At present, there are more than 30 projects being produced here, and the production cycle of several projects is as long as more than two years. Now that Disney has made a move, it is time for us to fight back. Now we also have the strength to maximize benefits... ..."

Su Yang said seriously that some items were not brought out before.It's not because he has to wait for Disney to make a move, but because Su Yang feels that he needs to maximize the benefits of some projects.

Some channels of Qingyao Group have not been established in the past two years, especially the global channels.

Now Qingyao Group's global channel has been established. With this channel, it is possible to maximize the benefits of a work.

Especially animation works, animation works have a relatively long life span, and mainly rely on peripherals to be responsible for profitability.Therefore, before the entire channel is established, the same good work will make much less profit.So for some projects, Su Yang would rather reserve first than lose money in vain.

Two people opened the door of the No. [-] project team. The area inside is very large, and all the employees are busy working.After Tang Qing joined the project team, he seemed to have entered a two-dimensional world.

The walls of the entire project team have been hand-painted with many patterns by the staff. At the same time, there are many hand-made or toys in the project department. These things are not available in the market. Obviously, this is the periphery of this project.

Tang Qing is not surprised by this, because each project department has a small processing equipment that can process small parts.

The project department of the animation subsidiary is fully staffed, in each project department.There are not only people who make animations, but also design and technical people from toy companies.

They will join the whole project from the very beginning, and their task is to make suggestions for the animation, which is based on the feasibility of toy construction.To ensure that future toys can reach a more perfect state.

Because of the participation of toy designers, the animation peripheral toys of the animation company can be perfectly presented now.Interconnection, this is the advantage of Qingyao Group.

"Is this a robot?"

Tang Qing looked at a huge peripheral toy in the project department and asked curiously.

The whole toy is in a corner of the project department. It is more than two meters high and looks very cool. The whole toy exudes a metallic luster, and it feels cool to the touch, full of metallic atmosphere.

"To be precise, it should be called Transformers! This is a car man, and the setting of this animation is very interesting..."

Su Yang smiled and introduced the settings of Transformers to Tang Qing.At the same time, introduce some things about this animation to Tang Qing.

This animation project was established very early, and the entire project department has been in production for more than two years.

"This animation uses 3D animation, and this animation has burned a lot of money in the past two years."

Su Yang took Tang Qing into the projection office of the project department, opened the first episode of "Transformers" and watched it.

In the screening room, the first episode of "Transformers" started to play. Tang Qing's eyes widened after the official broadcast.

"Is this a CG animation?"

Tang Qing couldn't help asking, because the animation was so realistic.It was completely like the real world. This kind of animation reminded Tang Qing of the CG animation in 3A games for the first time.But that kind of top-notch CG animation is too expensive, almost every second is burning money.

Seeing Tang Qing's puzzled eyes, Su Yang laughed.To be able to surprise Tang Qing so much shows how good the quality of Transformers is.At the same time, it also verified the power of new technology. Compared with works, new technology is the real killer!

Chapter 652 AI Changes the Future: The One Who Beats You May Not Be Your Peer

"The so-called CG animation is actually the same as the 2D animation and 3D animation that you usually see. They are all produced by technology. Watch this work first, and then I will introduce you to a big killer after reading it. device..."

Su Yang's words made Tang Qing full of doubts, but he didn't ask too much.Instead, he watched the animation directly, and while watching the animation, Tang Qing was also shocked.

This animation is too good, it is completely at the level of top-level CG animation. Although Tang Qing doesn't know much about it, he knows the production cost of such an animation.Such animations are usually costed in seconds, and such animations sometimes cost millions of RMB or even more in one minute.

The first episode of "Transformers" is only 20 minutes long, but these 20 minutes are very shocking.Spectacular and cool planet Cybertron, all kinds of Transformers, and cool battles, this visual experience is simply too shocking.

In just 10 minutes, Tang Qing felt unfinished.

"How's the quality feel?"

Su Yang asked with a smile.

"A woman likes it very much, so the quality goes without saying."

Tang Qing thinks it's very good-looking, and Tang Qing rarely watches animations.But Tang Qing couldn't get enough of the 20-minute Transformers just now.

"Let's go, let me show you the real big killer of our animation company. With the existence of this big killer, Disney has to kneel down to us..."

As soon as Su Yang said this, Tang Qing became even more curious.What kind of killer weapon, I don't even know.

Leaving the screening room and walking into the innermost part of Department X, another security gate appeared inside. After entering, Tang Qing saw densely packed servers at a glance.

Generations of servers are neatly arranged, this is a huge computer room.In addition to these, there are also a large number of screens.

"What is this place?"

Tang Qing asked curiously.

"This is our technology center. When the X department was established, it was actually for this technology center. The original research direction of this department was to use artificial intelligence technology to reduce our production costs. This technology was launched more than a month ago. There has been a complete breakthrough..."

Su Yang said with a smile, in fact, the reason why this technology has made a breakthrough.It is all due to Su Yang's credit, Su Yang has exchanged a lot of things from the system, plus the technology he has mastered.

It took two years to figure out this technology.This set of technologies uses AI algorithms to replace manual post-rendering of animation.

To develop this artificial intelligence technology in the future, technicians and Su Yang have overcome many algorithms.Now with this system, it can not only greatly save costs, but also increase the speed of animation production.

"Is there a video just shot now?"

Su Yang asked directly.

"Boss Su, this is the video we shot yesterday and hasn't been rendered yet."

A technician directly showed Su Yang and Tang Qing a video.Su Yang turned on the video, and Tang Qing also looked at the video curiously.

Tang Qing watched the video in a daze. The video was shot by a camera.In the video, several people are wearing special clothes, which have many red spots under the camera.

These people were chatting and even fighting there. The entire video lasted more than 20 minutes, and Tang Qing was confused.

"This is the preliminary production sample of Transformers. During the production process of Transformers. We used a combination of motion capture technology and AI rendering technology. Now is the time to witness the miracle..."

Su Yang said with a smile, directly opened a software, and then uploaded the video to the software.Then Su Yang skillfully began to adjust various parameters on this software.After adjustment, Su Yang clicked the start button.

Then, Tang Qing noticed that the scene on the large screen in front of him had changed.The video I saw just now was directly distributed on these computers, and was disassembled into a frame-by-frame picture.

Then a scene that stunned Tang Qing happened.The crude picture started to adjust automatically, as if an accelerated camera was turned on. The original monotonous background slowly turned into a cool background, and those people just now slowly turned into Transformers.

As if there were countless staff working behind this, Tang Qing could see many professional software on the computer screen constantly opening and closing, and various data were constantly adjusted.

This speed may be hundreds or even thousands of times faster than that of ordinary people.

Artificial intelligence, this is the power of artificial intelligence.As long as the computing power is sufficient, the speed can be increased infinitely. Through this system, artificial intelligence splits the video into frames, and then renders these images by itself according to the algorithm.

At the same time, some sensitive information above is automatically identified, and videos are produced according to relevant algorithms.

"This is our AI intelligent rendering technology. The combination of this technology and motion capture technology can greatly reduce our production cost. At the same time, the production speed has been greatly improved. The Transformers we just saw are of the quality we saw , do you guess how much it cost for one episode?"

Su Yang asked with a smile.

"300?"

Tang Qing reported a figure, the quality of the Transformers just now was too high.

"It's high, let me tell you, with the blessing of new technology, the cost of an animation of the same quality as just now is only less than 3 yuan per minute here, and the animation of the episode just now only needs more than 50 yuan. Yes, compared with our domestic counterparts, our cost is less than one-twentieth of theirs, and even lower than that of foreign countries. And the speed is very fast. Now we make cartoons, just like shooting short dramas. , as for Transformers, we can basically produce one episode a day..."

Tang Qing was shocked.Really blown away.As the chairman of Qingyao Group, she certainly understands the true meaning of this system.

The real significance of this system is to save a lot of labor cost and time cost, greatly reduce the production cost of animation, and at the same time greatly reduce the production time.

Because artificial intelligence is like countless post-production personnel, with this system, the staff only need to produce the pre-production work, and the subsequent work can be handed over to artificial intelligence.

It's like drawing a beautiful mural in the past, but now you only need to draw a simple stick figure. The difficulty is not of the same order at all.

With such technology and such cost, Tang Qing looked at Su Yang, and she finally understood why Su Yang was so confident.With this kind of technology, even if the number of works is smashed, Disney can be knocked out directly.And this kind of technology can be used not only by animation companies, but also by special effects companies, and it can be used in many other places.

This is the real big killer. With such a big killer, the works of animation companies can not only achieve high quality, but also achieve high output and low cost. This fully explains a sentence: science and technology are the first One productivity!

Chapter 653 Qingyao Group's Counterattack: "Transformers" kicks off

New technology is a big killer, which directly changes the animation production process of animation subsidiaries.

"Now our technology has been fully put into use. At present, we have reached a cooperation with Huawei. They will help us build a small supercomputing center in our headquarters. With this supercomputing center, this technology will be used more in the future. At the same time, our AI rendering technology can also carry out continuous self-learning..."

Su Yang and Tang Qing were chatting, only then did Tang Qing know how ambitious the animation subsidiary was.Judging from the current layout, Su Yang regarded the animation company as the most important subsidiary two years ago.

Now that so much money has been invested, such a powerful technology has been developed.With this big killer, when Qingyao Group fights Disney, it will have enough pills.

Isn't it competition?The competition between companies is sometimes more expensive than burning money.

The same is true for the competition between Qingyao Group and Disney, which compares to big productions and works.But the bigger the big production, the more money it burns.And Qingyao Group has such a big killer, and the cost is very low.Disney did not. If Disney follows the pace of Qingyao Group and burns money desperately, the final result will directly drag Disney down.

Because a big production does not mean all big profits, a big production hitting the street will directly hurt the muscles and bones.

"After our supercomputing center is built, not only the animation company, but also the production of other works can still use this technology. At present, the special effects company has taken this technology, and it will be put into use after a while. Our special effects production cost will be greatly increased. reduce……"

This technology is too powerful, and the more data, the more powerful the technology.The entire AI rendering technology has a simple self-learning ability.

Sometimes you just need to set the style, and the technology will do the work by itself according to its own database.And technicians only need to carry out the final refinement of the products produced by AI technology.

The amount of labor is reduced a lot, the speed is increased a lot, and the cost is reduced a lot.So now the new work produced by Department X is not only fast, but also high quality.The new work directly abandons the traditional 2D animation, and directly fills up the special effects, reaching the level of CG animation.

Tang Qing and Su Yang inspected the entire X department, looking at the projects produced by X department, Tang Qing laughed.
