Shenhao: Gold Medal Investor

Gao Si walked into the science fiction movie theater and saw an acquaintance again.

"Gao Si." The person who called him was Shen Mengxi, a junior high school classmate. At the last class reunion, Li Ke threatened to pursue her, and it came true.

Shen Mengxi was wearing a brown half-length coat and a short skirt. This pretty outfit was obviously not a staff member of a science fiction studio.

"Ouch? Shen Mengxi, you don't feel cold even in the winter? Have you been promoted?" Gao Si teased.

"What kind of promotion? This guy Li Ke fired me."

Although he said he was fired, Shen Mengxi's face was filled with a smile. Gao Si blindly guessed that this was a happy event.

"Haha, why are you so happy about being fired? Are you mad at Li Ke?"

Shen Mengxi rolled her eyes at Gao Si and took out a red envelope from her backpack.

"Li Ke and I are getting married, and the date is set to be on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. You are welcome to come and drink our wedding banquet."

Gao Si was also surprised and said with a smile: "Oh? So fast? You two are making great progress. I have to think about whether to set the wedding date before you two."

Shen Mengxi looked surprised and asked: "Who are you with? Why didn't I know? Is it that Xia Mu?"

Gao Si frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm a big star. This rumor of yours can cost Xia Mu ten million. Your Li Ke can't afford to lose even if he sells his whole family's belongings."

Gao Si took the invitation and saw Shen Mengxi's right hand caressing his belly from the corner of his eye, and he immediately understood.

He said: "Haha, I told you a long time ago that you were going to be promoted, but you still don't admit it. I have to congratulate you both on your double happiness."

Shen Mengxi feigned anger, but her face was as red as a ripe apple. She said, "You are the smart one, so you have to keep this matter a secret from me."

Gao Si smiled and said: "I must be tight-lipped, but you keep putting your hand on your belly. You have leaked any secrets." Shen Mengxi hurriedly put down the hand that was unknowingly placed on his lower abdomen. .

…

Under the leadership of Shen Mengxi, Gao Si sneaked into the set.

Surrounded by a green screen, Zhuang Zuqin is acting opposite Xia Mu, Li Ke and Ye Zhiqiu, who are wearing human skin masks. Although facing two actress-level actors, Zhuang Zuqin has no stage fright at all. A set of long lines is full of emotion, The performance was outstanding.

"Ka! Take a rest."

After the shot was taken, Li Ke personally shouted "Ka".

Ye Zhiqiu was full of praise for Zhuang Zuqin's performance.

Li Ke also applauded repeatedly: "That's great, Zu Qin, you are in great shape today. I didn't expect you to be so good. I should give you a role with more roles."

Xia Mu took off the human skin mask and said: "Li Ke, do you regret it now? It's too late! Zu Qin is already very good, but she is more talented in business. Filming can only be ranked second. It’s your seat.”

Seeing that the work on the set had come to an end, Gao Si walked over to say hello to everyone.

He said to Li Ke: "Can your drama be rated as the TV drama with the fewest actors?"

Li Ke laughed and said: "We really couldn't recruit suitable actors at the beginning, but later, we gradually got used to it. All the robot models are the same, and the body shapes are naturally the same, so it's all up to Xia Come and play in the evening."

Gao Si smiled at Xia Mu: "Thank you for your hard work."

Xia Mu didn't take it seriously and said: "There are many cases where one person in the crew plays multiple roles, and the male actor's scenes are almost taken by Li Ke alone. Shuyuan played 4 different roles, the most besides me. Sister Zhiqiu has played three roles."

Gao Si asked: "Is the number of roles twice the number of actors?"

"Tch, it's not just twice, 3 times is almost enough. The human skin mask in the close shot, and the face is directly replaced by AI in the long shot. Also, all the action scenes are CG animations generated by AI. There were quite a lot of flaws at the beginning, Ma Tianpei

The team has improved a lot since joining, and now it’s hard to tell the truth from the lie.” Li Ke was obviously very proud.

Gao Si raised his thumb and said: "You are awesome. By the way, keep more behind-the-scenes. In the future, I will cut them out and put them at the end of each episode. The left side is the effect, and the right side is the shooting behind-the-scenes."

Li Kedao: "You don't have to worry about it, we have already thought of it, and we will make sure that the filming behind-the-scenes will become a hot topic."

Gao Si suddenly thought of another question and asked directly: "By the way, Li Ke, are you the one who made all the leather masks?"

Li Ke nodded proudly.

Gao Si asked again: "Then...the images of those human skin masks..." Gao Si suddenly didn't know how to express himself.

But Li Ke understood what Gao Si meant, and he asked: "Are you going to ask, in whose image those human skin masks without actors are made?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I wanted to ask."

"Original. They are all characters I imagined based on the needs of the plot." Li Ke answered.

"Then how should you write your cast list?"

The question did not stump Li Ke. He said: "Well...except for Huang Xuechen, the other characters are virtual idols. We can name these virtual idols ourselves. Next time we film, can we just ask them to film?"

"

Gao Si looked at Xia Mu and Ye Zhiqiu beside him, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He doesn't know how to pay for a character who wears a human skin mask, but if the name of a virtual idol is written in the cast list, isn't it a bit disrespectful to the actor who plays the virtual idol?

What if the technology matures in the future and actors are no longer needed to perform? What if virtual idols become popular? Isn’t this obviously trying to compete with actors for business? Will actors be happy?

As an investor, Gao Si is naturally the most concerned about people's rights and interests. However, he is thinking about various problems in his mind, but he wants to save some face for Li Ke, and it is not convenient to speak directly.

He pulled Li Ke aside and asked in as tactful a tone as possible: "Li Ke, I have a question. You said, if this virtual idol becomes a hit, wouldn't it take away the actor's job?"

Li Xiaoxiao said: "I knew you would ask this question. We all know that you are particularly concerned about things like copyright, so I will definitely handle these things. When filming with a human skin mask, the corresponding salary for the role must be

It's up to the actors to keep everything. The remuneration that should be paid will not be less than a penny."

"What about virtual idols?"

"Whether we want to create a virtual idol or not, we need to ask the actors for their opinions. If the actors don't want to create a virtual idol, we won't force it. Facts have proved that the actors are very interested in virtual idols."

"If the virtual idol makes money, how will it be divided in the future?"

"This is simple. Today's virtual idols still rely heavily on actors for their performances. So just like actors, they earn a salary. There are also some performances that do not rely on actors, such as filming commercials and singing, which do not require actors.

Participating performances, but still need technical support. At this time, the actors need to pay technical service fees to Shanshan Film and Television."

Gao Si found it interesting and said, "In other words, if an actor has the ability, he can create and maintain many virtual idols? Then can an online drama like "Besieged by Love" be completed by one person?"

Li Ke nodded and said, "No problem at all."

Seeing that the staff in the venue were ready, Gao Si changed the topic and asked, "By the way, how many scenes does Zu Qin have to shoot today? How long will it take?"

Li Ke could see that the way Gao Si looked at Zhuang Zuqin was not right, and there was a look in his eyes, so he looked at Gao Si with a smile and said: "I'm a few months older than you, so it's okay for Guan Zuqin to call him brother or sister. What are you talking about?"

When is the time to get married? How about joining in the fun with me?"

Gao Si also smiled evilly and said, "I want to schedule the wedding on the Mid-Autumn Festival, can you wait?"

The corners of Li Ke's eyes showed divine contempt, and he said angrily: "Get out of here quickly. All departments are paying attention and getting ready to start filming."

He threw Gao Si aside and strode towards the set.
