Chapter 162 From now on, let's talk about our own(1/2)
When most people mention the Renaissance, they may have only a little understanding of it, but only know it is an important turning point in Western history.
But to understand the world, the impact of the Renaissance on today is more importantly the emergence of the germination of the capital class. It is not good or bad for the general public. It is nothing more than changing from one boss to another.
"Don't look at me with this kind of eyes. I am a great good citizen and a firm proletariat!" Wang Shifeng straightened his back and said, "You are right. At that time, the merchants could use art as gloves to push the statue of gods, and we could also use art as gloves to burst the bubble."
"Oh? You speak wildly." Wang Luo raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Are you Dante? Can you write "The Divine Comedy"? Or can Giovanni Boccaccio write "The Decade"?"
"Uh...I'm not there." Wang Shifeng sneered, "But I have the skills."
"Technology?" Wang Luo was stunned and looked up and down at Wang Shifeng. "I remember you are an art student, what technology are you studying?"
"Artificial Intelligence." Wang Shifeng said in a deep voice.
"..." Wang Luo was silent for a while, "You are the 20th young man who wants to use this to trick Yinger into investing in front of me. I really think that we elderly people are all fools? If we really have such high-end technology, we will still be short of money? The boy who does driverless and tram in the west is about to hit the world's richest man."
"I don't want you to invest, I want to invest in you!" Wang Shifeng smiled slightly.
Wang Luo was even more confused.
You...invest me?
"Little brother, I'm not attacking you. You should know that I'm still rich." Wang Luo said in a modest tone.
"It's too cheesy to talk about money. We are investing in the future of human beings and blue stars!" Wang Shifeng said seriously.
"Then I can judge now that you are a liar." Wang Luo laughed and said, "Everyone who talks about the future is a liar, without exception."
"Uncle Wang, the electromagnetic cannon has been mass-produced." Wang Shifeng frowned.
Wang Luo's laughter came to an abrupt end, and his eyes narrowed and his eyes turned sharp.
"You just said that you despise the media industry because in addition to affecting social atmosphere, there is also excessive bubble premium phenomenon, right?" Wang Shifeng said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Wang Luo nodded, without saying anything.
"My technology is specifically designed to control premiums." Wang Shifeng curled his lips and smiled unyieldingly. "The producer has the right to set pricing, and the right to set pricing is mainly determined by market demand in addition to cost. Why is the premium high? Because there is a large demand and a small supply, this is the simplest supply-demand relationship."
"Yes." Wang Luo began to chew peanuts.
"Take the foot washing that Uncle Wang mentioned as an example. The original 68 service is now ten times premium because of scarcity of products. If the price returns to normal levels, you must ensure the supply of products, and even over-production and supply, and you can also reduce the price and increase the service." Wang Shifeng smiled.
"Oh? Get an introductory roll?" Wang Luo took a sip of wine with interest.
"Yes, it's about inversion! The premium of capital and products in the entertainment industry is too high, but the quality cannot keep up. At present, there are less than ten true top stars in China, each representing a top entertainment company with a market value of nearly 100 billion yuan. This premium is too exaggerated." Wang Shifeng shook his head and said.
"The generation of top streams is the effect of capital investment. To maintain a market value bubble of 10 billion, it really requires tens of billions of real money to circle around it, and the ten-fold premium is in the financial industry, which is not considered high leverage." Wang Luo shook his head gently.
"But the real wealth of these capitals is indeed growing in reality every year." Wang Shifeng said in a deep voice.
"Financial has always been like this. People's money is 30% or 7% of the money, and the gentry's money is returned in full. This has nothing to do with what you are going to do." Wang Luo came to the nail on the head.
The bubble in the entertainment industry is just a product of finance. Even without this product, there will be another product, which is not enough to form the so-called "Renance".
"No, what I want is traffic." Wang Shifeng said coldly. "The essence of this bubble is not the operation of finance, but the distribution of traffic. In the future, whoever controls enough traffic will have the right to control the pricing power, and Uncle Wang will definitely know more than me about the role of traffic."
Wang Luo frowned slightly, poured a glass of wine and pondered for a moment, "Your technology can kill the top celebrities in the entertainment industry? Take away the traffic from them? That cost must be quite large. I think it will lose money, just like e-commerce burning money."
"No need to burn money, of course, it still needs a certain amount of capital as the principal." Wang Shifeng smiled slightly and shook his head.
"What is artificial intelligence?" Wang Luo began to be interested.
"Head change technique." Wang Shifeng said with a smile.
"Hmm?" Wang Luo was stunned.
"A few years ago, an engineer sage in the West was bored and created a technology called d0eepface, which replaced the faces of some female starring actresses with popular stars, causing a huge sensation. The principle is to use artificial technology to identify a large number of photos, accumulate information databases, and finally replace faces. This technology is not difficult, with the highest error of about 27%. " Wang Shifeng explained.
"The error of 27% should be very unnatural." Wang Luo frowned.
"My technique can reach 1% error, almost perfect replacement." Wang Shifeng chuckled.
"Hmm? Really?" Wang Luo was a little surprised.
"Not only that, my artificial intelligence can also deeply learn 'acting skills'." Wang Shifeng continued.
"?What does it mean?" Wang Luo asked.
"The essence of performance is imitation and understanding, such as stomach pain expression. I can collect videos of various stomach patients around the world, then analyze, learn and optimize, and finally transplant it onto face change." Wang Shifeng said.
Wang Luo's expression finally changed. At this moment, he suddenly realized that if Wang Shifeng's technology was real, then perhaps, it would be a "Renaissance"!
Because this technology is equivalent to exchanging labor costs through technical costs, only a valuable "face" is required.
To put it bluntly, the essence of the entertainment industry is "face".
It doesn’t matter whether you start with your appearance or be loyal to your character. What fans ultimately follow is the symbol formed behind the ‘face’.
Why are top streamers valuable? Because the time of that ‘face’ is valuable.
Whether you are poor or rich, time is the fairest, and everyone only has twenty-four hours a day.
Even if a top star works hard, she can star in a year with limited films, advertisements, activities, and endorsements.
But the terrifying thing about Wang Shifeng's technology is that if the cost can be reasonable, he can multiply these "faces" time to the power.
So what are the consequences?
Overcapacity! Price reduction! Involved!
And what's even more terrifying is that this technology has another function, "learning acting skills".
Acting is not something that everyone judges subjectively after seeing it, but there is no doubt that good acting is enough for everyone to like.
The main reason why most traffic stars are criticized is that they are not worthy of their morality, and their acting skills or professional skills are not worthy of their value, which is actually a commercial fraud.
However, it is difficult to judge culture by law.
But if you can act well, who would be scolded?
If this technology is available, then not to mention anything else, at least those top capitals are willing to buy it for this technology.
And more importantly, this technology can create top-notch.
The top-notch "face" is essentially a combination of the appearance of a person-made work.
The most important character design requires a long period of accumulation. This kind of thing cannot be completed overnight unless it becomes a hit in the work, such as a certain wolf warrior.
But there are too few opportunities like this.
If you have this technology, you can shoot ten movies at the same time with one face, one movie will be released every month!
Face swiping throughout the year is forced to be well-known to the audience. This routine is similar to buying hot searches, but buying hot searches requires a job. There are not so many topics to create throughout the year, and over-hot searches will make people disgusted.
But the work will not be. In an era of material abundant, no matter how many film and television works, the audience will buy it, as long as it is interested and worth it.
There is no doubt that the gameplay and prospects of this technology are terrifying. If it can really be replaced with an error rate of 1%, it would be terrifying to think about it carefully!
Technology is the primary productivity, there is no doubt.
"Cost." Wang Luo realized the value of this technology and his drunken eyes were particularly clear.
"Only I know." Wang Shifeng kept smiling.
"I have invested in several companies in the field of artificial intelligence at home and abroad. I will ask someone to evaluate this technology, but it is best if you can give me a sample, and you have to tell me how much you want." Wang Luo stared at Wang Shifeng with a bright look.
"The money is not needed for the time being. I have encountered some trouble at the moment. Uncle Wang should know that our company is going to make a movie." Wang Shifeng said with a smile.
"I heard that I have been on the news recently, saying that you scolded someone as good as a dog because of a director. You are too bad. You are so honest." Wang Luo laughed.
"It's just a joke at the dinner table. I didn't expect someone to be really stepped on and it hurts. I didn't want to make such a big deal. Now the circle has banned us in film and television. The movie is easy to shoot, but it is difficult to release." Wang Shifeng said helplessly.
"I understand, I will turn around and say hello to Qianli Cinema. Your movie can be released there." Wang Luo said casually.
Qianli Cinema?
The largest private theater chain in Xia Kingdom, with more than 300 joint cinemas nationwide and more than 2,000 silver screens. The number of viewers can reach 200 million every year!
You should know that the total number of moviegoers in Xia Country is only more than 700 million.
There is no doubt that Qianli Cinema has an important influence in the domestic film and television industry.
Can Wang Luo do such resources by saying hello?
Is this the boss?
Wang Shifeng swallowed his saliva, "Uh, Uncle Wang, Qianli Cinema seems to be a company under Huangu Group."
"What? Doubt about my ability?" Wang Luo raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"No, no, no, of course I know your strength. In fact, in addition to the issue of going to theaters, I mainly want to ask you whether you have any business dealings with several domestic theater companies." Wang Shifeng quickly punished himself.
The core of theaters is cinemas, and cinemas are generally linked to commercial real estate, so most theaters in China are part of a real estate group.
"However, is there? What are you doing?" Wang Luo was a little confused.
You, a moviemaker, ask what theater companies do?
"Well, I am not willing to be controlled by others in my work, so I thought about whether I could acquire two theaters and buy shares." Wang Shifeng laughed.
???
Hearing Wang Shifeng's answer, Wang Luo looked at him with a strange look.
Four fools in life: if you trade stocks and become shareholders, if you trade real estate and become landlords, if you pick up girls and become husbands, if you practice martial arts and become self-cautious.
