Liu Wei swears that this is definitely the most spectacular and magical scene he has ever seen in his life. Even after being a director for so many years and experiencing 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, and his consciousness is wandering in the virtual reality world built by the Xinghai-1 quantum computer hundreds of kilometers away.

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

At this moment, a figure made of light and numbers appeared next to him.

Glancing at him sideways, Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"You can't feel the function of the system just by standing still."

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

"I'm sorry to just stand here...... I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. ”

"Do you feel better now?"

"Much better."

After settling down, Liu Wei took a simple deep breath, and then turned over the wrist of his right hand according to the prompts of the program. Looking at the interface that appeared in front of his wrist, he moved five fingers and then selected the icon of the modeling tool.

Almost as soon as his index finger touched the icon, pale white particles of light began to gather towards him, like gravitational grains of sand, floating in front of him.

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

As his consciousness continued to penetrate into the depths of his memory, the white particles of light suspended in front of him began to change shape and color, gradually taking shape in front of him, and finally becoming a towering space fortress, although it seemed somewhat abstract.

"It's incredible."

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

At this moment, he was like a child standing on the beach, staring at the sand fortress he had built with a sense of accomplishment.

Although the 3D image is still somewhat abstract and many of the details are unpolished, it is quite surprising considering that he is new to the tool and was able to do so in less than ten minutes.

Walking to Director Liu's side, Lu Zhou glanced at the space fortress composed of countless points of light in front of him, and stretched out his right hand. Soon the particles of light, under his manipulation, began to change form, and on the side of the abstract Battlestar, a cantilever resembled an airplane counterweight rod was "installed".

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

"What's really powerful about the system is that it allows multiple people to collaborate at the same time, bringing together their ideas in the same work. Originally, it was intended for scientific research, but our system engineers found it useful in other areas as well, so we designed many different versions for specific purposes. For example, the version you are using now is the enterprise version that we have developed for the needs of movies, video production, etc. ”

After a pause, looking at the rudimentary space fortress model in front of him, Lu Zhou continued.

"In fact, we recommend leaving the construction of the model to a professional, after all, a movie set can contain thousands of models, which is a task that cannot be done by one person alone."

Looking at the extremely simple space fortress he had made, Liu Wei couldn't help but say embarrassed.

"That's right...... It seems that my imagination is still not rich enough. ”

"It's not about imagination, it's just about spending a lot of time trying to figure out the details. After all, the logic of the human brain is not the same as that of a computer, our brain will give full play to the ability of brain supplement when processing images, that is, use fuzzy operation methods to ignore those irrelevant details, but computers are different, we must keep repeating this fuzzy operation process until it can understand what the graphics we want to present are like. ”

After a pause, Lu Zhou continued.

"At present, we are working with helmet manufacturers such as Warwick and Rice to encourage our users to take the initiative to participate in this huge project, to model landmarks and special objects in life. And according to the popularity and score of the vote, some of the models will be adopted into the database, and the adopted ones will be rewarded in the form of points, cash or gifts. ”

"In addition, there are some models that are classified in fantasy classification, and we also give users the freedom to give full play to the phenomenal space, and give users the permission to create custom entries. Under the premise of complying with regional laws and regulations, users can choose whether to share it with the community. ”

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

"What a great idea!" Hearing the blueprint depicted by Lu Zhou, Liu Wei couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

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 constrained the imagination will no longer be a problem, and all people's fantasies and brains will be completely liberated.

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

Relying on these models, even if you recreate a Shangjing or New York in the virtual world, there is no problem at all......

The demo of the development tools has ended.

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

Originally, he still had doubts about Lu Zhou's statement that he would be able to complete the preparation of the entire celebration program in half a month at most, but now, he had no doubt about this in his heart.

Not to mention half a month.

Just give him a group of professional modelers to help him weave his dreams into reality, and even if it's only a week, he can be 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 implemented, he will be able to complete the choreography of the celebration program with this powerful set of development tools.

His time was not just two months, but five.

There is only one thing he is glad about now, and that is that the NTT Group dragged them out and did not immediately agree to the contract.

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

"How does it feel?"

Looking at the oncoming Lu Zhou, Liu Wei looked at the helmet on his knees and said in an emotional tone.

"It was an eye-opener, I can't describe the shock in my heart, and I never imagined that one day I would be able to shoot a film with such an amazing tool...... I believe that when this set of equipment is popularized, let alone subvert the entire film industry, I am afraid that even the future lifestyle will have to be completely changed because of it. ”

"I'll leave the matter to the future," Lu Zhou smiled faintly and continued, "This process won't be so fast, and it will take time for the technology to mature." However, I believe that with so many talented people involved, the process will not be too slow. ”

Liu Wei showed a smile of agreement on his 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 you...... There is no interest. ”

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

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

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

Lu Zhou sighed: "Actually, I don't care too much about whether it makes sense or not...... Let's talk about it. ”

Liu Wei smiled embarrassedly and said: "I talked to a familiar screenwriter some time ago, and I plan to make a movie that can reflect the spirit of our country's contemporary scientific researchers who dare to innovate, work hard and forge ahead, and strive for the first place in the world. We discussed it and agreed that if it wants to reflect the characteristics of the times and resonate with the young people of the current generation, it is best to select young scholars. ”

What does it mean?

Let yourself go to the movies?

As soon as he heard this, Lu Zhou's head suddenly grew big, and he raised his hand and said.

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

Although he has no doubts about his acting skills and appearance, it is a waste of time to make movies. It takes a year for a movie to go from start-up to release, and even if it is a small production, the cycle is rarely less than half a year.

For this time, he didn't know what he could do.

As soon as he heard that Lu Zhou seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, Liu Wei hurriedly explained: "It's not for you to be an actor, we want to use your deeds to shoot a big movie with a bit of a documentary nature." The specific story background probably starts with your return from overseas and ends with the ignition of nuclear fusion. We might add some artistically processed plots to it...... Of course, these will definitely have your consent. ”

It turned out that I was filming a documentary against the backdrop.

It's embarrassing......

Hearing the well-known director's explanation, Lu Zhou smiled a little embarrassedly: "So that's the case, then you said it earlier." Okay, if you think I have a story worth filming, just shoot it as you want, I don't really care. In terms of casting, I hope to be able to take my opinion into account. ”

He didn't care much about anything else.

The only thing I was worried about was that the chosen characters couldn't highlight their handsomeness. While these are inconsequential things for both a scholar and a documentary, it would be a bad idea to be labeled as historical nihilism for this.

Liu Weixi said: "You can rest assured, as long as you are willing to agree to our shooting, I dare to guarantee that every role will be selected until you are satisfied!" ”

"There's no need for this," Lu Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't have so much time to cast you, just let me check the selection of the protagonist, and you can do whatever you want for the other roles." ”

"Well, do you have any hard criteria or recommendations for the casting of the main character? Just give a rough suggestion, and we can also refer to it during the primary selection, so as to save you time. For example, academic qualifications, personality and other aspects ......"

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

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and continued.

"Anyway, you can choose according to the standards of idol dramas."

Liu Wei: "......? ”
