Chinese entertainment for engineering students

On the day Robert arrived, Wang Jinghua sent someone to pick him up. He was an old friend. There was no need to make it grand every time. Wang Chao Culture now has a reception department. They are responsible for receiving guests from all over the world. Similarly, this department will Serves all subsidiaries and studios.

When Robert arrived in Changping, it was already the second day. There was nothing he could do. Even though Robert was very energetic and had been flying for more than ten hours, he was still exhausted.

Wang Xu's hair was already very long. For convenience, he casually tied a braid and dragged it behind, commonly known as a pony tail.

The pigtails match his delicate face. If you don't pay attention, you look like a big girl. As a result, there would be a lot of eyes staring at him from time to time. Even an experienced driver like Wang Xu would feel a little embarrassed occasionally.

But who wants his wife to like him? So be it. He is a person who goes his own way. It's just a little glance and it won't have any impact on him.

For this hair, his look in the movie was modified. Some elements of Hanfu were added to the windbreaker, a bun was tied on the top of the head, and two locks were left on both sides. It looks quite cool. It combines Chinese and Western styles, so it should not affect sell clothes.

However, this look and his tall height made him particularly conspicuous in the crew. When Robert entered the set, he almost immediately saw Wang Xu, who was giving a demonstration to Cameron.

Now that Cameron has raised the banner of boxing, of course Wang Xu happily accepted it. It is a small role that is innocuous and does not affect his image in this episode.

However, Cameron also won himself a role in the next episode. Such a serious and stubborn actor can really be put to use. This character is not dead. He can exist as the villain BOSS in the next episode, and it will be reversed in the third episode.

Wang Xu carefully looked at her setting brought by Cameron. It was a setting for a heroine. This kind of setting should have been quite popular in the 1990s.

Feminism is an unavoidable topic in Hollywood, but the fact is that there are very few female-themed movies in Hollywood, and even fewer movies that can be called major heroines.

Especially among big investments and big productions, it can almost be called rare. Moreover, even if these movies are made, the box office is just that, and they are not as popular as male-dominated movies at all.

This is a very strange phenomenon. On the one hand, the female boxing movement is surging, but real women's movies receive little attention and do not sell well. But the problem is that the number of female moviegoers is no less than that of males, but they don’t seem to be interested in watching movies with female protagonists.

Not to mention the heroine, even if it is a female perspective and female-themed movie, there are actually very few hits. Do you know which is the highest-grossing film by a woman in the world?

"Hello, Li Huanying", I didn't expect it, with a global box office of 800 million US dollars, and Jia Ling once became the highest-grossing female director. But it was later surpassed by Greta Gerwig who filmed "Barbie".

The film "Barbie" can also be regarded as a female-themed film, but it always feels a bit weird. The protagonist of the film is more like a doll than a human.

No matter what, there aren't many films by women, and mediocre box office is the norm. Once in a while, a big hit is something you can brag about for a long time.

However, the period from the current era to the end of the century and the beginning of the next century is indeed the time when Hollywood has the most movies with female protagonists. After that, it seems that female boxing has been replaced by other more bizarre things. Now we are starting to plan for the end of the century. There’s really nothing wrong with making a movie with a female protagonist.

Cameron successfully fought for his own interests, but Wang Xu couldn't let him go casually, so he also gave her a very special role.

This is the image of the woman in red. This shot may be the scene with the most passers-by in the entire film. However, Wang Xu does not intend to shoot this scene in real life, but intends to use computer technology to synthesize it.

He will let all the actors who have appeared in the movie change their appearance and play a completely unrelated passerby. This is also an allusion to why the illusory world is illusory, and it is also an Easter egg.

Among the two, the woman in red is the only bright color in the entire shot, and now he has decided to let Cameron play this bright color, which also pave the way for her identity reversal in the future.

There is no need to explain it in the article. After everyone watches the second and third episodes, someone will naturally explain various meanings.

The entire noisy lobby scene was done under a green screen, without even any props. Each person would shoot a set of shots independently that were completely unrelated to their role. The appearance, clothing, identity and temperament would all be changed, but the people would still be the same. people.

Finally, these shots will be combined into a noisy scene with a weird atmosphere in the computer, and then a beautiful woman in red will look back charmingly.

For Cameron, this image needs to be performed completely in front of a green screen, and it also needs to show Cameron's figure and steps. As a model, she is very professional in this aspect.

But he has never had the experience of performing in front of a green screen, or he doesn't have much experience in performing. His stage steps, graceful figure, and swaying waist are all no problem. Cameron can say that he is familiar with it.

But that moment when I looked back, I couldn't get rid of that charming, tempting, yet profound feeling in my eyes.

Then Wang Xu got on. He spread his hair and walked forward leisurely for a few steps. Then he slowly looked back. His eyes were bright and his smile was like a flower, but there was a depth in his eyes, as if he wanted to tell something. He was clearly wearing clothes. They didn't even change it, but there was a kind of charming charm that penetrated into the bones of the body, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Wang Xu withdrew his gaze, exited the performance state, turned around and asked Cameron, "Do you understand?"

"Ah, you, how is that possible?" Cameron looked confused, his mouth opened wide, and his words were a bit incoherent. Obviously she has not yet escaped from Wang Xu's subversive and explosive eyes.

"That's great, why don't you act it yourself? This scene is amazing." The English-speaking, middle-aged male voice, well, Robert Shaye has arrived.

"No, no, this is her responsibility. This is the menu for the next episode." Wang Xu shook his head, and then asked Cameron to calm down and think about how to act.

"Have you already started thinking about the second episode?" Robert Shaye knew that Wang Xu had the idea of ​​​​a series, which was one of the reasons why he wanted to win this film at any cost.

But he didn't expect that Wang Xu actually had an idea now.

"Well, I have thought about it. It should be at least three episodes. If the box office is good, I can also shoot some character biographies. But everything depends on whether the first episode can be a big seller." Wang Xu is very practical. If one episode does not sell well, No one will play with you the rest, although not without exception, but the general idea is this.

As for whether it can be a big hit, the film itself shouldn't be a big problem. The main thing is that there are a lot of Asians in the film. I don't know if it can be a big hit in ugly countries.

And East Asia, another big box office, is also a very magical country. It is really difficult for you to judge which movie will sell well.

But that's all for later. It's more serious to shoot the film first. He hasn't caught up on the progress yet, and he's anxious and angry every day.

Robert came here to inspect the software. Wang Xu was too lazy to accompany him and just let him explore on his own. The use of the software ran through the entire shooting process. He wanted to understand it and talk to anyone.

Moreover, the software manager is also on the crew. If we can export to the United States, this product alone is enough to support this team.

"You, you, you, how did you do that?" A somewhat confused female voice said, come on, this silly lady hasn't recovered yet.

"The performance I just performed has been filmed. I will ask the editor to cut it for you. You can take a good look at it and learn from it. Pay attention to the subtleties of the body and expressions. You can practice in front of the mirror.

Brother Yang, move this scene back a few days and let her learn.

The next session is in advance. "Wang Xu explained to Cameron while arranging the shooting plan.

Brother Yang's name is Yang Lei, and he is also his secretary. He pulled him to take notes on the spot. This guy actually majored in sociology. He is a talented student at Imperial University and has a master's degree. He is a few years older than Wang Xu.

Now she is basically his exclusive secretary. In fact, she does a lot of complicated things, including taking notes. In fact, the establishment of these people is not at Wang Xu's place. Wang Xu has not inquired where they are, but this way it is not easy to pay them too much. At most, they can get an extra salary.

There is no way to make money through various shares, dividends, or even opening your own studio like others in Wang Xu's company. Wang Xu just wanted to get some part-time jobs for them from time to time.

Just like the job of record keeping, you can get paid from the crew. Now that we have the system in hand, and the people from the film industry are also following, basically there will be no problems.

People like Brother Yang have been with him for a long time. They are more proficient in using various computers and playing some of his new things than others, and they can also help him guide others.

Wang Xu now has several secretaries. In addition to Director Jiang, Shuimu also has a secretary named Zhang Zhi. He is from a science and engineering background and is more compatible there.

In addition, there are a lot of life secretaries assigned to him by Wang Jinghua. There is even a secretary's office in the new building, and the people in it are actually his secretaries. Basically, everyone is responsible for a bunch of things. This can help him straighten out the increasingly large system.

"You take your photo, I won't disturb you." Robert glanced at Wang Xu and quickly explained that he would not interfere with his work. After exchanging pleasantries, he started to work. He felt that there was nothing wrong with him.

Wang Xu also felt that there was nothing wrong, so he left the foreigner aside and went about recruiting people to shoot the next set of shots. There was a lot of work today, and he had to finish the shot of Murphy taking Wang Xu to visit.

What this scene showed in the original film was a completely independently generated virtual world, simulated by the tank's own aircraft. So it's very stuck, a lot of people in it are repetitive, and it's full of a sense of falsehood.

In Wang Xu's setting, this is actually a sandbox formed by people stealing resources in the Matrix. In fact, it is essentially the facilities of the Matrix.

On the one hand, some falsehoods show that this is because only a few resources can be stolen. On the other hand, through these repeated people, it is implied that the matrix itself is constantly copying and pasting, and everything about everyone is false.

In this way, whether the woman in red is real or fake is a matter worth discussing.

You said what if no one sees it, it’s okay, they are all old foxes, Robert will let people see it.

In this scene, Wang Xu will of course explain to Henry and the others the reasons for the substitution, and the reasons will be entered into the system in the form of a report, and they will also be reminded to pay attention.

There are currently no publicity-related parts in the system. Wang Xu also plans to add these. This requires luring Robert into the trap first, and then they will naturally summarize what they want, and then the engineer will implement it for them. .

In fact, this development model was adopted by many Internet companies in later generations. First, a version with less complete functions and many defects was launched, and then it was continuously iterated under the urging of demand, and finally a qualified product was produced.

Rapid iteration, agile development, yes, agile development is done here.

Although Wang Xu did not call it this name, it is indeed the case. Even the various bulletin boards, task lists, and mercenary unions on GIT all serve agile development.

If you use these software, you will naturally become a practitioner of agile development, and you will also feed back various opinions to GIT, and then improve it.

Chinese people are actually particularly suitable for this agile development model, because in the 1980s, there was a great person who named this thing "crossing the river by feeling for the stones".

When crossing the river, what you touch is not necessarily the stones from the outside, but more the native stones from within. Most external things can only be used as a reference. If you really want to solve the problem, you still have to be driven by native demand.

Refer to external products and then form your own system. Whether it is a product or a system produced in engineering practice, you can give it a name and call it "XXXX with Chinese characteristics."

This thing is closely integrated with reality, the demand comes from practice, and it solves practical problems. Therefore, we can say that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

You see, how clear the logic of this theory combined with reality is.

It doesn’t matter what the name of agile development is. Anyway, it is now a very popular development model in China’s software industry. The waterfall method, laminar flow method, etc. that were popular in the past have all been included in agile development.

It’s not that those things can no longer be used, but it has become a design pattern in every agile cycle. Each company can choose flexibly according to its own habits and product positioning. You can choose it flexibly in every iteration. method selected.

Naturally, the speed of iteration can be fast or slow. Things like Wang Xu's high-end products need to be iterated in two weeks, or even a week in emergencies, while for office software, it can be iterated in one month, two months, or even once a quarter. There’s nothing wrong with iteration.

Anyway, most of the management models developed by various companies are derived from the agile development carried out by Wang Xu, but they are so diverse that each company is different, which makes Wang Xu a little confused.

But he was not worried at all. On the contrary, he was delighted with the change. For the same reason as above, only this original ecological management model was the most suitable for his own development. Blindly copying it by rote would be almost a dead end.

Moreover, for software companies like these in China, the biggest change brought about by Wang Xu is not the software itself, but the various new concepts brought about by the software.

For example, regarding the normalization of software tools, Chinese software companies in the previous life paid little attention to the accumulation and development of tools. Perhaps because they were used to piracy, they had no idea of ​​preparing tools for themselves. It was not until the rise of giant Internet companies that this became more or less common. Variety.

Now, the large-scale promotion of GIT has brought an endless variety of tools to the eyes of all software practitioners, greatly expanding their horizons and allowing them to understand the power of tools. You must sharpen your weapon first." The ancestors are sincere and will not be deceived by me.

We need software, and customized software is a tool, and then people who develop software need software, and their tools, management tools, and development tools. With tools, we need automation, and with automation, we want intelligence.

The greed of software engineers never ends. To describe the profession of software engineers in one sentence, no industry has ever aimed to make its industry disappear. This is a profession in which everyone is determined to make themselves unemployed.

After the emergence of large-scale AI models in later generations, the first person most likely to be replaced is precisely the software engineer himself.

The subsequent filming went quite smoothly. In fact, Cameron's role required some acting skills, and the other supporting roles could actually be played. It was just that Wang Xu asked all the actors to act in order to create a gimmick.

There is no need to divide the place. Anyway, they are all passers-by in a hurry. Some are talking on the phone, some are drinking coffee on the street, and some are working on the computer next to him. After that, when they are combined, a lively and noisy city corner will appear. Taken shape.

It’s okay to be a little fake. What’s important is that some fakes are both real and illusory. “When fakes become real, they are also real and fake. There is something inaction and nothing in it.” This is originally one of the biggest themes to be explored in this film. Wang Xu naturally has to do his best to perform in various ways.
