"Isn't it necessary to wear a whole suit?" After the makeup was completed, Meng Fanqi was taken to the vicinity of the shooting scene.
Two staff members came forward and very skillfully measured his height, shoulder width, waist and other attributes, and brought him a complete suit.
It looks like it's worth a lot of money.
Due to the nature of their work, ordinary programmers do not have much need to attend formal occasions. Unlike some professions that require frequent contact with customers, suits are standard.
Therefore, Meng Fanqi has actually never worn such a suit or tie in his entire life, and he was still filming in front of a white curtain and under two headlights.
This made him a little uncomfortable.
"You don't have to wear a suit. Just wear a white shirt on top."
"This is better, I'm more used to it."
After changing his clothes, Meng Fanqi walked in front of two giant lighting lights. Fortunately, he had been the host of the department, so he didn't have too much stage fright.
But all the shots of long guns and short cannons were directed at him, which made Meng Fanqi's body movements and expressions a bit stiff, and he felt a bit at a loss.
"Don't be nervous, it will be familiar once it happens." Secretary Liu encouraged him with a smile.
The last time this young man came over, he directly discussed technology with Robin Li and won such an exaggerated share-sharing contract, which made Secretary Liu feel very genius and mysterious, not like an ordinary person.
Today, I saw his ordinary side. It turns out that a young genius who can chat and laugh with Robin Li will feel awkward because of a few scenes.
This made her feel that the distance had suddenly become much closer.
"Here, look at the camera on the left and pose a little bit."
"That's right... look here, don't look so stiff, smile, yes, that's it."
"Change some poses and we'll take more shots. When the film is finished, you can choose one."
Under the guidance of professionals, Meng Fanqi gradually got better. Since it wasn't a fashion blockbuster, there was no need to change into many different clothes, so the shooting was completed very quickly.
The difficulty of shooting short video material is much higher. This kind of video shooting with specific content and meaning requires certain acting skills. Meng Fanqi's initial shooting was not smooth.
But he soon found a way to achieve spiritual victory. There were so many young celebrities, both male and female, who didn't memorize their lyrics and could even say "1234" as a line in a TV show or movie with a plastic surgery face. What could he be embarrassed about?
With this in mind, Meng Fanqi quickly broke through his psychological limitations and completed the shooting.
After the filming here came to an end, Li Yanhong still didn't come over. Meng Fanqi waited in the venue for about forty minutes before Li Yanhong arrived.
"I didn't expect your progress to be so fast. Some things have been delayed for a while. I'm really sorry." Li Yanhong strode over and patted Meng Fanqi on the shoulder.
"Where." Meng Fanqi didn't pay much attention. With Robin Li's status here, it was normal for him to have trouble controlling time sometimes.
In addition, there was no agreement on when Robin Li would arrive this time.
"Good news. I recently communicated with some corporate executives in the United States. According to our assessment, the YOLO real-time detection algorithm is likely to trigger a boom in autonomous driving."
Meng Fanqi had anticipated this and it was also part of his plan. But when I heard the news from Li Yanhong, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Since the 21st century, real autonomous driving began in 2009, when Google secretly set up an autonomous driving research department. A few years later, China also made many follow-ups and achievements.
For example, in 2011, the Hongqi HQ3 self-driving car independently developed by the University of Defense Technology completed a 286-kilometer high-speed full-distance self-driving experiment for the first time, creating a new paradigm for self-driving in complex traffic conditions for self-driving cars independently developed by my country at that time. record.
In 2013, Baidu also unveiled its first self-driving car based on BYD's transformation at the Wuzhen Conference.
However, these autonomous driving research actually have little to do with artificial intelligence and vision algorithms. They are more developed through traditional sensors and control theory.
In the previous life, it was not until 2015-16, after AlphaGo overturned the Go world, that the entire human society really felt the power of AI, and artificial intelligence also swept the field of autonomous driving.
Autonomous driving methods based on vision algorithms are gradually becoming popular.
Meng Fanqi had thought about it when he planned to cooperate with Robin Li. The original real-time detection method of this level did not appear until 15-16 years ago, and was covered up under the halo of Alpha Dog.
Now that it has been proposed in advance by myself, can it also trigger the craze of autonomous driving in advance?
Judging from Robin Li’s private communications with some American entrepreneurs, the answer seems to be yes.
Meng Fanqi keenly noticed that this would be a great opportunity to rapidly expand his assets.
"Basically speaking, autonomous driving will not be put into large-scale use until 2023." Meng Fanqi pinched his chin and recalled the history of the autonomous driving industry.
Although new smart car companies, led by Tesla, are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, the valuations of these companies are also higher than the last one.
But in the final analysis, there are no truly self-driving cars put into use. After all, these intelligent algorithms can only be used as assistants and cannot replace humans.
However, this does not affect the capital circle’s optimism about the commercial application of autonomous driving technology and its broad business prospects.
After AlphaGo attracted world attention in 16 years, artificial intelligence has completely broken out of the circle and entered everyone's field of vision.
In just 30 days, the total transaction volume of investments related to autonomous driving has increased four to five times.
"At that time, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as 'people are lying at home while money comes from the sky'. Even if investors know nothing about autonomous driving and artificial intelligence, as soon as they hear that it is an autonomous driving project, they will flock to it for fear of missing out. This is an excellent investment opportunity.”
From Meng Fanqi's perspective, it is no exaggeration to use the term "barbaric growth" to describe that period.
Everyone seems to think that, riding on the remaining power of AlphaGo's defeat of Lee Sedol, and with the help of artificial intelligence, it seems to be a matter of course to realize autonomous driving within three to five years.
Meng Fanqi remembers that executives of many autonomous driving companies and automobile companies once shouted slogans to achieve mass production of autonomous driving in three or five years. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also stated that a fully autonomous driving system will be launched in 2018.
However, as time goes by, artificial intelligence in the automotive field has not replicated the dimensionality reduction impact of the mobile Internet on traditional industries. The realization of autonomous driving within 3 to 5 years seems to be a complete joke in 2023.
Compared with the huge investment, no autonomous driving company has a large-scale commercialization timetable, and it is far away to achieve profitability, and companies need to continue to invest heavily in order to develop.
Meng Fanqi shook his head. He would not invest much energy in the direction of autonomous driving, but since Robin Li's intelligence showed that the algorithm he proposed in advance is likely to trigger a boom in autonomous driving.
It's a very good plan to go in and make some money.
