Top of the big era

Facts have proved that Xu Baihui was right. Wang Xiaojun also brought two actresses with him.

To Zhou Buqi, they were all acquaintances.

Huayi has recently launched a new love movie called "Global Love", starring Guo Fengcheng, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings". However, this is not important.

Two actresses who have won important roles participated in this entertainment, namely Gui Lunmei from Baodao, and Angela Dabaobei, who is more famous.

At first glance, the big baby is more beautiful.

Upon closer inspection, Guilunmei is more flavorful and has a long aftertaste.

For aesthetics, it is not enough to be beautiful, it must also be rare. Beauty is beautiful, it is all carved out of the same mold, which is also vulgar.

Zhou Buqi has seen many beauties, but he still likes Gui Lunmei's style, which has an original, fresh and natural feeling. Plastic surgery beauty... No matter how beautiful she is, she still lacks the pyrotechnics and closeness.

The main people to socialize with are Mr. Han, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang.

Among them, Mr. Zhang’s China Film Jindian is the main one.

Once the general plan is finalized, it’s time to start talking about it.

Mr. Han and Mr. Zhao are both high-level leaders and basically don’t understand anything. Jindian's Zhang An'an and Mr. Zhang are different. He graduated from Nortel and is a professional.

In his early years, he saw the difficulties faced by Nortel students in making films, and also discovered the backwardness of the domestic film industry. After graduation, he devoted himself to promoting the "film-to-film ratio" of the domestic film industry.

Mainly the digitization of filming equipment and projection equipment.

From the beginning, China Film did not attach importance to digital work, and authorized Jin Dian with the rights to transform and screen all digital films owned by China Film.

Jindian is equivalent to getting a piece of fat.

This is a monopoly that has allowed Jindian to make a lot of money in the past few years.

Last year, China Film suddenly realized that something was wrong. Digital development was too fast, and digital projection was gradually replacing film projection... How could such power be delegated to a private company? Not even a joint venture!

Then, the agreement was broken and the screening rights were taken back.

So now Zhang Anping can only start in the field of digital projection, provide some suggestions on technology, market, operation, procurement and other aspects, and carry out the "telefilm transfer" work of some old films.

Yesterday, Xu Baihui had sent the vice president to talk to Zhang An'an.

This is a professional who is more enterprising.

Originally, the social process of this kind of dinner party was to discuss cooperation before serving the food, which basically took 2-3 minutes. Then, it was time to serve food and drink, and they drank and drank.

This is especially true when accompanied by female celebrities.

At the dinner table, romance, dirty jokes and bragging are the main topics. It is not appropriate to talk too much about work.

Zhang An'an was obviously too low-level or too focused. He couldn't stop when he saw Mr. Zhou. The waiters over there had already served the dishes, and he was still asking endlessly: "Mr. Zhou, the job of 'glue transfer' is very difficult." Simple, more physical work. However, many old films have a certain degree of discoloration and damage. After being converted into digital content, a certain degree of data adjustment is required. This is the most important and difficult part of the entire industry. ring."

The process of converting film to tape and converting tape to digital is purely manual and has no technical content.

The real difficulty is to restore the image content of this part of the data after it is converted into digital data. This is the most difficult. If we rely on manpower to manually restore each film...even if it is done domestically, it will take many years and months to complete.

Zhou Buqi had made arrangements for this as early as last year, "Yes, image repair is an indispensable link. Relying on manual repair is definitely not possible. It mainly depends on the support of supercomputing and cloud computing. artificial intelligence.”

Zhang Anping was very excited, "Mr. Zhou, can you really do it?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It depends on the level. Artificial intelligence is also graded. The simplest color adjustment, image alignment, and resolution modification can all be achieved."

"Is it Ziweixing?"

"Yes, Ziweixing is the world's best online technology artificial intelligence company."

"Great, if Ziweixing can do it... Looking at the whole world, it will be the only one! Since the United States launched the first digital imaging chip in 2000, the voice of film digitization has always been controlled by the United States. In the hands of Hollywood. If we accomplish this, it will be equivalent to gaining a part of the global voice of the film and television industry!"

Zhang An'an is an expert in this field, so he knows the market very well.

When Mr. Han and Mr. Zhao heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

The eyes looking at Zhou Buqi were full of strangeness.

what's going on?

Does this small project have such a big strategic perspective? Can it also help the country strive for international voice? This is of great significance!

Master Han looked surprised, "Mr. Zhou, can this project play such a big role?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It's almost operational. We can attract all the global film-to-digital business to China. Ziweixing, Jindian, China Film, and Jieyu Media, including Universal Pictures, MGM, The cooperation between Netflix and Lucasfilm is enough to make this happen."

After a pause, he smiled and said to Zhang Anan: "Do you know who developed the first digital imaging chip you mentioned?"

Zhang An'an was slightly startled.

He really didn't know this.

In short, after the emergence of this chip, movie projection equipment around the world began to transform from film projection to digital projection. This is the modernization process.

Zhou Buqi said calmly: "In the 1990s, George Lucas started filming the "Star Wars" trilogy. He was an advocate of cutting-edge technology. He gave up film shooting at that time and adopted digital shooting. However, After the movie was shot, the digital version had to be converted into a film version before it could be shown, because cinemas were all showing film. Lucasfilm teamed up with several chip companies to promote this. By the time "Planet" was released in 2002 By the time Episode II: Attack of the Clones was released, there were already hundreds of digital-only theaters around the world."

"It was promoted by George Lucas." Zhang An'an suddenly realized something, and then he thought of something. He was dumbfounded and said in shock: "Mr. Zhou, I remember... I saw the news and said that Ziweixing Global had taken Luca Si Pictures acquired it!”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, it's been almost a year."

Zhang An'an took a deep breath, his eyes becoming more and more respectful and admirable, "No wonder... no wonder! Mr. Zhou, you are the number one person in the field of 'glue transfer' in the world!"

"You can say that."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zhou Buqi regretted it a little.

Depend on!

Done!

If the personality switch fails, you have to continue practicing!

In foreign countries, you have to brag when you need to, and show off when you need to show off, otherwise people will think you are not confident enough and will doubt your strength. This is different in China, which promotes modesty and restrained moral character, which is completely opposite to that in foreign countries.

Zhou Buqi's response was correct abroad, but domestically... it was a bit too flamboyant and too arrogant. Fortunately, it is a small circle dinner.

It will have to be corrected later.

Don't be like Boss Ma. When Ali was developing in China, he was quite low-key and just bragged in private. Later, when Alibaba became bigger, he himself began to constantly go abroad to give advice. Once he got used to it, he couldn't stop it. If he continued to use foreign language methods at home, it would be easy to cause problems.

In short, Zhou Buqi showed off his performance with perfect results.

Everyone at the dinner had their eyes widened.

Even Xu Baihui was like this. Even she didn't expect that Boss Zhou had completed such a large industrial layout and became the first person to advance the digitalization of film and television in the world!

As for the three celebrities present, Gui Lunmei, Yang Ying, Tang Yixin, and the female singer Chen Yan from an art troupe brought by Mr. Han, their eyes were blank, just like the ancient women who went to the temple to kneel down to worship Guanyin. The Bodhisattva seeks the same sincerity and earnestness as his son.

Zhou Buqi was always the biggest star at the dinner, but now he became even more powerful. Everyone was vying to please him.

On the contrary, it made him feel very boring.

I just wanted to leave early.

Being rushed to flatter someone is really a very low-level pleasure and not very interesting.

On the other hand, Chen Yan, a young female singer from the art troupe brought by Mr. Zhao who had the same name as Teacher Chen Yan, said during dinner that she wanted to buy a car but had no money. They usually perform less and can only get a fixed salary of several thousand yuan every month, which is not enough. Wang Xiaojun smiled and asked her how much money she was short of, and she said she was short 300,000. He said he could sponsor her.

Zhou Buqi was even less interested. He stood up immediately and decided to leave.

Wang Xiaojun is really a master at dinner parties. When he walked to the door, he walked over with two female artists from Huayi, Gui Lunmei and Yang Ying, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Mr. Zhou, I have something to do here. , could I trouble you and send them home?"

Then, he pointed at Gui Lunmei and said she was staying in a hotel. He also said that Yang Ying had a small apartment in the capital and gave the address.

This person had all been sent over, and Zhou Buqi couldn't refuse directly, so he nodded, "Okay, let's drop it off on the way."

Gui Lunmei and Yang Ying said crisply in unison, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

At this time, Xu Baihui also walked over with a half-smile, followed by Tang Yixin, an actor contracted by Jieyu Media. She winked and said in a raised tone: "Mr. Zhou, please send my artist Xiao Tang home. Is that okay? It’s too late. I don’t feel comfortable letting her go back alone.”

"Give it away! Give it all away!"

Zhou Buqi had no move, so he simply accepted it all. Look at the female singer named Chen Yan... Well, this should be unnecessary. She took Mr. Zhao's arm and left with a smile.

Then, the group of people got off the elevator and went to the parking lot.

When we got on the bus, it was like a palace fight.

"Ms. Tang, your high heels are so high. You sit in the front and I'll squeeze in from the back."

"No, I'll just go to the back... This dress of yours is too expensive. You'd better sit in the front row and don't get wrinkles."

"Lunmei, how about you go to the front row?"

"Yes, you are a friend from Baodao, we should take care of you."

After some bickering, Angela Yang Ying and Tang Yixin finally reached a united front and pushed Gui Lunmei into the passenger seat. They squeezed into the back row and sat with Mr. Zhou.

Then, the palace fight started again.

Who sits closer to Mr. Zhou in the middle?
