Chinese entertainment for engineering students

Chapter 362 Award-winning speakers

"Why are you so interested in aviation recently? Are you not filming any more movies? I see you have released a lot of aviation research projects." Senior Brother Yuzhuo was holding soy milk and chatting casually with Wang Xu.

He has been flying around recently, promoting Wang Xu's various high-end products all over the world, and there is no sign of heart disease at all. Of course, this is due to Wang Xu, and Chinese medicine is still quite capable of this kind of conditioning.

Wang Xu made a lot of medicated meals to help his parents and neighbors take care of their health. Of course, Senior Brother Yuzhuo was also indispensable. This can be said to be a special benefit of Wang Xu's company.

Recently, Aunt Jiang has planned to open her medicinal soup into a restaurant. There are too many people coming to drink the soup. If she doesn't open a restaurant, she will miss the flow of customers.

Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang are both interested in it. If Aunt Jiang is not willing, they both want to get Aunt Jiang to open a herbal restaurant in Xiangjiang. People in Xiangjiang have extraordinary trust in delicious soups and herbal meals.

Wang Xu didn't have the time, but he could definitely find a Chinese medicine doctor who would sit in the hall and take the pulse of the customers who came in, look at the tongue coating and complexion, and basically determine what they could drink, and then moderately reduce the dosage, which would only have benefits and no harm.

"He is counting. The three-dimensional laboratory has been busy upgrading and constantly changing the original clip. The effect is different again. Now I can't tell it was made at all.

I also made a panoramic view of the city, which was so shocking. "The interface is Wang Fei. She has been accompanying Wang Xu to the laboratory recently, and she knows the progress of the film very well.

"I heard that you also composed a song?" Yuzhuo was also curious. He was also here to visit today and came to the small building early to have breakfast.

"Well, the name is "My Heart Is Still". It's used at the end of the film. It's in English. It sounds pretty good." Wang Fei was very proud and didn't mind her bragging being seen. This was her character. She If I think it sounds good, I will tell you very seriously that this song is particularly good.

"Can you hear it today?" Yuzhuo became even more curious.

"You will know in a moment. Last time I went there, the synthesis was not done yet." Wang Fei thought about it very seriously and was not sure. There were new changes in the special effects studio almost every day, and she was not sure whether to do it now. Is it easy to synthesize?

"Then let's leave it in suspense." Yuzhuo didn't care at all. He had been in contact with Wang Fei for a long time and now joked with her from time to time. They were considered good friends and there was no excitement at all when they first met.

He is now a die-hard fan of the young couple, and he used to be a fan of Wang Fei. The couple's voices are really good, and they have many catchy songs. They are good to listen to but not easy to sing.

Yes, he has also played karaoke, earlier than Wang Xu. He supervised the production of this thing, and it has been sold for a long time these days.

There was a patent for karaoke when I was young, and it was available ten years ago, but that patent was for video tapes, and because it was very difficult to request songs, it didn't really become popular.

Wang Xu's is much more complicated. It's high-tech and looks classy from the inside out. Apart from being expensive, there's nothing wrong with it.

A complete set of audio and video equipment has been installed, and millions of dollars have gone in. Wang Xu's new bar in Imperial City has been installed, and the rest has not yet been sold out.

However, Xiaoli and Xiangjiang have sold a lot of sets, but the song copyright is too difficult to negotiate. The good thing is that the Yakuza and the underworld are buying this, so they don't really care about it.

Anyway, Yuzhuo only sells equipment here, as well as music conversion equipment. What kind of music is there? Wang Xu has nothing to do with it. Oh, Wang Xu also created the mp3 format. When the sampling rate is not high, a The capacity of the data disc is enough to hold more than 200 songs.

As for the decoding program, it is open sourced directly, put it on GIT, and download it at will. Anyone can use the software to transcribe the CD into MP3. As for whether someone will pirate it, it has nothing to do with Wang Xu.

At this time, the Internet was not very developed. Even if someone transcribed it, it would only be circulated among a few people at most. It really cannot be said that it was a pirated copy.

Problems will not really arise until casual downloading occurs on the Internet. As for Wang Xu, technology is always about to develop, and it has nothing to do with Wang Xu.

Today, Chou Country's New Line Cinema sent a commissioner. Well, he was quite a famous person. At least Wang Xu thought he was quite famous. He didn't expect this person to come.

Robert Shaye is the producer of "A Nightmare on Elm Street". There should be six of them by now. He is now considered a well-known producer in Hollywood, although most of his films are B-level movies.

But just knowing that this guy is the producer of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, you know what he's accomplished.

Wang Xu knew this person from his position as the producer of "The Lord of the Rings" and his extreme preference for special effects. This was also an important reason why he became the producer of "The Lord of the Rings".

The use of special effects in "The Lord of the Rings" can almost be described as crazy. There are almost no scenes in a movie without special effects. It can even be said that without special effects, the birth of such a magical game would not have been possible.

In Hollywood, there are many directors who like special effects the most, but not many producers like special effects. Especially the producers of traditional blockbusters rarely like special effects.

Special effects can easily burn up huge amounts of money. Most producers can say that they love and hate this kind of thing, but this is 1993, an era when dinosaurs have just ravaged the world.

A super blockbuster that fully demonstrated the capabilities of traditional special effects and computer special effects, it made the world know what computer special effects are, and made producers all over the world go crazy.

But there is only one Industrial Light and Magic, and it is impossible for them to take on the work of a small company like New Line. As a result, this time, they heard the news that on the other side of the Pacific, that poor and backward country actually claimed to be able to produce Eye-catching special effects.

They watched the film, and yes, the people from Jiahe brought a one-minute film to show them, and they believed it, so this inspection was launched.

If Jiahe didn't have a good relationship with them and expected them to do more to promote it in Chou Country, Wang Xucai wouldn't bother to demonstrate his abilities to others for the sake of inspection.

It’s really troublesome and expensive to have to convert to film again every time.

Such equipment is only available in Wang Xu's place in the country. It is ridiculously expensive, but Wang Xu still bought it. Fortunately, this thing is not embargoed, just to convert the digital images back to film.

You see, how troublesome this is, but it is better for future generations. Cinemas are inherently digital, so just copy the digital content there, and just take a hard drive with you.

But now, there is no such equipment, not to mention high-definition or standard-definition. We can only convert the film first and then use a traditional projector to project it. Three-dimensional stereo sound also requires additional digital equipment for synchronous playback, which is extremely troublesome.

Either Wang Xu values ​​​​so much about laser projection and spends a lot of money to research it. This is the outpost of future digital projectors. He only needs to increase the power and resolution, and everything will be fine.

The promotion of this kind of professional equipment is not something that Wang Xu can handle. He probably has to license the patent in the end. However, Wang Xu doesn't care. This thing is not a stuck technology. Maybe he can use it with some patents.

Almost all film technologies are promoted in this way. In later generations, you will see that IMAX is so popular, but when it was first born, no one paid attention to it for a long time. Finally, Cameron became interested and joined forces with film companies and theaters to promote it. That's when it became known.

That's still Canadian technology. If Wang Xu's technology is to be promoted, it is doomed to have a long way to go.

Therefore, this film really needs to be shot well, and it needs to be shown well today, so that the business can be done without being shabby.

The appointed time is ten o'clock, which is the time arranged for the guests from Chou Country. They are not in the habit of going to work at eight o'clock, so Wang Xu and the others have extra time to enjoy breakfast slowly with Senior Brother Yu Zhuo.

Having stolen half a day of free time, they arrived unexpectedly. The three of them ordered a pot of tea and drank it leisurely in the small breakfast shop.

Of course, the owner of the hotel also knows them. Their seats are on the second floor, which is actually the balcony of the owner's own home. A small table is arranged so that one can watch the street view downstairs.

Every time these people come, they will sit here. They are now celebrities. Sitting in the store will affect the business.

Senior Brother Yuzhuo is in a high mood today. He has traveled to many places this year. Although he does not have many types of products, they are all top-notch products in the world, so he has traveled to rich countries.

In his small days in Asia, he traveled to many places, such as Bang Country, Southeast Asia, Ugly Country, and Europe, and participated in many exhibitions. Blueline speakers have now successfully made a name for themselves in the audiophile world.

Of course, the selling price of tens of thousands of dollars also makes him quite extraordinary. With the departure of the Soviet Union, tube amps made with authentic Soviet tubes have become a product that many Europeans and Chinese people are keen on, which has become Yu Zhuo’s unexpected success. happiness.

Because the original electronics factory had closed down and disappeared, Wang Xudu had to use products from other countries instead. It is precisely because of this that a pure Soviet tube amplifier can now be sold for several thousand dollars, and it is still very affordable.

In fact, in Wang Xu's view, there is no problem with the quality of tube amps made in Germany. Although there is a slight difference in sound, it is definitely not something that most people can hear.

But that five-star is a symbol, and out-of-print ones are always more expensive, right?

Wang Xu bought a bunch of these tubes from the market at that time. Most of them were actually recovered at the price of scrap. At that time, the Soviet Union, which was on the verge of collapse, could sell anything. There were many bankrupts in the country who did not care about their use. The ones that didn’t have a lot were taken back.

Apart from Wang Xu's tube amps, there really isn't much use for tubes these days. Perhaps, it might still be useful to repair old radios, but similarly, the Imperial Tube Factory still has countless stocks that cannot be sold.

The result was that they couldn't be sold at all. In the end, Wang Xu bought a lot of these things at a price that was almost scrap. He had no other ideas. It was difficult to evaluate the quality of Soviet tubes. He just liked the tone of the tubes. I just bought a bunch of them and kept them, maybe I can do something with them later.

You said its quality is good, but its parameters are really random, and many times it has to be debugged individually.

You may say that its quality is not good, but it is durable and powerful. It can be used for a long time without aging.

Therefore, the amplifiers using Soviet tubes were all debugged by Wang Xu himself. Each one really has its own personality. This is one of the reasons why these blue line amplifiers are particularly popular.

Every amplifier that is debugged by himself will have Wang Xu's steel seal on it. This is Wang Xu's habit. Only products made by him will have this steel seal, and it has now spread to a small area in the West.

It is almost synonymous with top speakers. Each set is a representative of top sound effects. Although the quality of sound is very personal, it is only when comparing top speakers. Compared with ordinary speakers, the difference in sound quality is overwhelming. Graded.

Yuzhuo traveled to many places with Wang Xu's handmade amplifiers and speakers, and also participated in many exhibitions and parties. From the edge to the center, he slowly broke into the core circle of Western audiophile players. It took more than a year. Now it’s time to slowly harvest.

This time, he had just returned from Hansland, bringing with him the European Golden Ear Award and an order for more than a dozen sets of handmade speakers. Although few people in China have heard of this award, it is the most authoritative speaker and audio equipment award in Europe.

This award was announced at the Hansi Audiovisual Industry Exhibition. Although Wang Xu did not go, he brought a signed acceptance speech and a set of handmade bookshelf speakers. This will also be his exhibiting product. This is the final product that won the award.

At this point, almost two years have passed since the birth of Wang Xu's first speaker. Wang Xu's handmade speakers have truly established themselves in Europe and the U.S., and they can be slowly sold in the future.

It is impossible for this kind of thing to have much sales. All top speakers cannot sell more than a few sets a year, and the price of a complete set of more than 50,000 US dollars is beyond the reach of ordinary people. What you play is a scarcity, and what you play is a style.

If it weren't for senior enthusiasts, or some special organizations and businesses, they wouldn't buy such a niche product.

But for fans, a set of Wang Xu’s hand-signed speakers is really hard to find. The set of small boxes sent to the Hifi Enthusiasts Association can be said to be heart-wrenching, and it feels so good no matter how you look at it.

You know, Wang Xu rarely makes small boxes on the bookshelf. Currently, only Wang Fei and Professor Yan have a pair each. Even Senior Brother Yuzhuo only has a set of medium-sized boxes and no small boxes.

Therefore, the set of small boxes stamped by Wang Xu is really the only pair in Europe. Together with the independently modulated small amplifier, it can be used as a bookshelf-sized speaker.

This set of small boxes is actually Wang Xu's pinnacle work, because this is the first complete set of system speakers that Wang Xu has actually produced.

After more than a year of various investments and the hard research of countless professors, the most beautiful flower was finally born at this moment.

The special metal film made by the growth method, titanium alloy support structure, neodymium iron boron high magnetic permanent magnet, plus single crystal copper wire, various new material combinations create the nearly perfect tweeter.

Coupled with ultra-high molecular weight fiber cones, neodymium iron boron high-magnetic permanent magnets, and single-crystal copper wires, the same extraordinary mid-bass unit is produced.

In addition, there are no mass-produced blue LED lines in the world. Therefore, although this speaker may not be big, its technological content is absolutely high. Even the West, which is famous for its technology, cannot copy it at all.

Its sound is unique, so when he went to the exhibition, Wang Xu wrote his acceptance speech, signed his name and took it with him.

Senior Brother Yuzhuo has been laying the groundwork for more than a year, the system is almost perfect in design, and his own picky ears can't find any faults in the finished product, which makes him so confident. .
