Chapter 1235: Technology to Liberate Imagination

Liu Wei swore that this was definitely the most spectacular and miraculous scene he had ever seen in his life. Even after being a director for so many years and having experienced the light pollution of so many special effects blockbusters, he has never seen such a sci-fi and spectacular scene.

At this moment, he is lying in the laboratory of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study in Jinling City, and his consciousness is wandering in the virtual reality world built by the Xinghai No. 1 quantum computer hundreds of kilometers away.

Standing in that azure blue space, pale silver lines criss-crossed in front of him, like auxiliary lines of space, dividing the entire area he was in into countless small pieces.

At this moment, a figure transformed from light, shadow and numbers appeared beside him.

Looking sideways at him, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"Just standing still, there is no way to feel the function of this system."

After hearing this reminder, he came back to his senses, and Liu Wei made a slightly apologetic smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, just standing here...I've been so shocked that I can't speak."

"Do you feel better now?"

"much better."

Gathering his mind, Liu Wei took a simple deep breath, and then turned over the wrist of his right hand as instructed by the program. Looking at the operation interface floating in front of his wrist, he moved his five fingers, and then selected the icon of the modeling tool.

Almost at the moment when his index finger touched the icon, pale white light particles began to gather towards him, floating in front of him like grains of sand that had lost gravity.

Feeling the sense of absolute dominance over the virtual world, he began to try to imagine in his mind, digging out the scene he had seen in a certain sci-fi blockbuster from his memory.

As his consciousness continued to deepen into the depths of his memory, the white light particles suspended in front of him began to change shapes and colors, and gradually formed in front of him, and finally turned into a towering space fortress—although it looks a bit abstract .

"It's incredible."

Looking at the Fortress in front of him, Liu Wei's face was full of excitement.

At this moment, he is like a child standing on the beach, staring at the sand fortress he has built with eyes full of accomplishment.

Although this 3D image is still somewhat abstract and many details have not been refined, but considering that this is the first time he has come into contact with this tool and it took him less than ten minutes to achieve this level, it can be said to be quite Amazing.

Walking to the side of Director Liu, Lu Zhou glanced at the space fortress made of countless light spots in front of him, and stretched out his right hand. Soon those light particles began to change shape under his control, and a cantilever similar to the weight bar of an airplane was "installed" on the side of the abstract space fortress.

Noticing the surprised gaze from the side, Lu Zhou withdrew his right hand, flipped his wrist to open the control interface, and turned off the permission to use his modeling tools.

"The real power of this system is that it allows multiple people to collaborate at the same time and integrate the ideas of multiple people into the same work. It was originally prepared for scientific research, but our system engineers found that it is also quite effective in other fields. It works, so we have designed many different versions. For example, the version you are using now is the enterprise version we developed for film, video production and other needs."

Pausing for a moment, looking at the crude space fortress model in front of him, Lu Zhou continued.

"In fact, we recommend that the construction of the model be handed over to professionals. After all, there may be thousands of models in a movie scene, which is a job that cannot be done by one person alone."

Looking at the extremely crude space fortress he made, Liu Wei couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"It's true... It seems that my imagination is not rich enough."

"This has nothing to do with imagination, it just takes a lot of time to carve out its details. After all, the calculation logic of the human brain is different from that of a computer. Our brain will give full play to the ability of brain supplement when processing images. That is to use the method of fuzzy operation to ignore those irrelevant details, but the computer is different, we must continue to repeat this process of fuzzy operation until it can understand what the graphics we want to present look like."

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"Currently, we are cooperating with helmet manufacturers such as Warwick and Rice to encourage our users to actively participate in this huge project, modeling landmark buildings and special objects in life. And based on voting popularity and ratings Appropriately adopt some of the models into the library, and give rewards in the form of points, cash or gifts to those who are adopted."

"In addition, there are some models classified in the fantasy category. We also give users the freedom to give full play to the phenomenon space, and open up the authority for users to create custom entries. Under the premise of complying with regional laws and regulations, Users can choose whether to share it to the community."

"Through the data processing capabilities of quantum computers, we will continue to improve our virtual world through the model of community cooperation, and finally create an artificial paradise that is not inferior to the real world."

"This idea is amazing!" Hearing the blueprint drawn by Lu Zhou, Liu Wei couldn't help but exclaimed.

As a literary and artistic worker, no one knows better than him what it means if all this can be realized.

This means that the creativity that originally restricted the imagination will no longer be a problem, and all people's fantasies and imaginations will be completely liberated.

Everyone has the opportunity to be an artist and show others the world in their hearts.

Relying on these models, there is no problem in recreating Shangjing or New York in the virtual world...

The demo of the development tools is over.

The light blue particles of light faded from the surroundings, Liu Wei took off his helmet and returned to the real world.

Originally, he still had doubts about Lu Zhou's saying that he could complete the preparations for the entire celebration program in half a month at most, but now, he has no doubts about this in his heart.

Let alone half a month.

As long as he is given a group of professional modelers to help him weave the dream in his heart into reality, even if it is only a week, he is sure to create a world!

What's more, after the site model of the Bird's Nest is scanned into the database, even if the holographic projection system has not yet been installed, he can still use this powerful development tool to complete the arrangement of the celebration program.

His time is not just two months, but five months.

There is only one thing he is thankful for now, and that is thanks to the NTT Group for delaying them and not agreeing to the contract immediately.

If this contract is signed, at least they will have to pay liquidated damages...

"How does it feel?"

Looking at Lu Zhou who was walking towards him, Liu Wei looked at the helmet on his knees and said with emotion.

"It's an eye-opener. I can't describe the shock in my heart. I never thought that one day I would be able to shoot movies with such a magical tool... I believe that when this equipment becomes popular, it will not only subvert the entire film industry, but even the future The way of life must be completely changed because of it.”

"Let's leave the future to the future," Lu Zhou smiled lightly, and continued, "This process will not be so fast, and it will take time for the technology to mature. However, I believe that there are so many talented people involved, It’s not going to be too slow.”

A smile of approval appeared on Liu Wei's face.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, so he said: "Speaking of Academician Lu, I have always had an idea. I don't know if you... are interested."

As soon as he heard what he thought, Lu Zhou said immediately.

"If it's too much trouble, forget it."

Liu Wei quickly said: "No trouble, no trouble, and I'm sure, this is definitely a very meaningful thing, both for the society and for you!"

Lu Zhou sighed: "Actually, I don't care much about whether it makes sense now... Then tell me."

Liu Wei smiled shyly, and said, "I had a chat with a familiar screenwriter some time ago, and I planned to make a movie that can reflect the spirit of our country's contemporary scientific researchers who dare to innovate, strive for progress, and bravely strive for the first place in the world. We discussed it and agreed that if we want to reflect the characteristics of the times and resonate with contemporary young people, it is best to choose young scholars.”

What do you mean?

Get yourself to make a movie?

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou's head suddenly became dizzy, and he raised his hand and said.

"Stop, I'm not interested in being an actor."

Although I have no doubts about my acting skills and appearance, making a movie is a waste of time. It takes at least a year for a movie to go from its launch to its release. Even for small productions, the cycle is rarely less than half a year.

With this time, he didn't even know what awesome results he could make.

As soon as he heard that Lu Zhou seemed to have misunderstood himself, Liu Wei quickly explained: "We didn't ask you to be an actor, we wanted to use your deeds to shoot a big movie with a bit of a documentary nature. The specific story background It probably starts from your return from overseas to the end of nuclear fusion ignition. We may add some artistically processed plots in it...Of course, these will definitely be subject to your consent."

It turns out that the documentary was made with me in the background.

It's embarrassing...

Hearing the well-known director's explanation, Lu Zhou smiled a little embarrassedly: "It turns out that's the case, then you should have said it earlier. Alright, if you think I have any stories worth filming, then do as you wish. The filming is finished, I don’t really care about it. It’s just about casting, I hope my opinion can be considered.”

He didn't care much about anything else.

The only thing I am a little worried about is that the selected character cannot highlight his handsomeness. While these are inconsequential things for a scholar and a documentary, it would not be nice to be branded historical nihilism for them.

Liu Weixi said: "Don't worry about this, as long as you agree to our filming, I can guarantee that every character will be selected until you are satisfied!"

"There's no need for that," Lu Zhou waved his hand quickly, and said, "I don't have that much time to cast for you guys. I'll just choose the protagonist and check it out. You can choose other characters as you like."

"Well, regarding the casting of the protagonist, do you have any rigid standards or suggestions? Just give a rough suggestion, and we can refer to it during the primary selection, so as to save you money. Time. Such as academic qualifications, personality, etc..."

"This...Actually, I don't have any idea."

Lu Zhou thought for a while and continued.

"Anyway, it's fine to choose according to the standards of idol dramas."

Liu Wei: "...?"
