Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 707 Destiny Approval
But if he wants to take it, he can find a way to take it away, but Fang Hong will not do that. This is the hard-earned money of more than one billion Chinese people. If he takes it, he will be in trouble.

However, with this money, the "Yifeixianju" research institute can officially set sail.

As for equipment, it is mainly GPUs. We can order tens of thousands of enterprise-level GPUs from NVIDIA. There are no restrictions on ordering now.

It will form a cluster scale and will still be located in Huailai County.

Nvidia's stock price is now slowly rising, with a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars.

Only Fang Hong realized that artificial intelligence would require a GPU, and not many people had this awareness. Of course, "Yifeixianju" would also research its own GPU.

This GPU is not for gamers, but for enterprise computing.

As for storage management and network architecture, domestic manufacturers are familiar with them.

Another thing is AI chips. No one is very good at it, as they only started in the past two years. This will be listed as a strategic research project of "Yifeixianju".

The team is led by two scientists, one of whom is Han Song, a professor at both Tsinghua University and MIT.

Later deep compression technology and the EfficientML framework were developed by him. Anyway, no one knows what it is. He later became a famous AI chip designer.

Another person is Xie Yuan, a professor at the University of Illinois, who also developed his own architecture. He was the one who promoted the AI ​​chip with stacking technology.

He has won the IEEE Computer Society Technical Achievement Award.

Fang Hong had no idea what they were researching. His only advantage was that he knew which people would be great in the future, and he used high salaries and faith to recruit them.

Anyway, these people have no results yet and are still in the exploratory stage. Although they have high academic qualifications, they are not too outstanding and are still easy to recruit.

Of course, the annual salary of top researchers is in the tens of millions of dollars. Fang Hong's 2 million US dollars can only support 20 people.

But not everyone is worth tens of millions of dollars. They are just the leaders of a team or the heads of a research laboratory.

"Yifeixianju" will have several research laboratories, not just one type of research. AI chips, natural language, computer vision, and robots will all have their own research laboratories.

We don't advocate suffering or noble morals here. As long as you have the ability and talent, no one will care if you keep mistresses.

If you are expelled for moral degradation, that is the school's business. Here you will not be expelled and will continue to be employed by us. We will not care about various public opinions from the outside world and will not be bound by moral constraints.

You can't have it all. That won't work. Many great scientists don't have very noble moral characters.

Einstein and Newton were both like this; their morals were extremely bad.

Therefore, labor is a huge expense. After all, it is not cheap to maintain a top team. Another thing is data. High-quality data is equal to gold.

This data cannot be obtained by simply crawling from the Internet, but it must be uncontaminated, original and valuable data.

A lot of data on the Internet has been polluted. For example, rumors, such as Liu Tianxian’s fake news, have all been processed and are not true.

And these data need to be cleaned. Baidu AI is so stupid that it has a lot of polluted data and cannot see the truth.

In addition, a lot of data needs to be purchased, such as the authorization of medical patient privacy data, which costs US$100 million alone, and this is uncontaminated data.

For example, the annual fee for the financial real-time transaction data interface is tens of millions of US dollars.

There is also a lot of literature, medical images, news articles, knowledge graphs, and academic papers, too much data.

In addition, there are countless data such as street view pictures, behavior logs, and conversations. If you want to get the most original data, you have to spend money, which is not a small amount.

The most expensive cost of this kind of research is electricity, which is an ongoing expense. The electricity consumption of a cluster is hundreds of millions of US dollars.

On the contrary, software and hardware are not that expensive.

Therefore, few countries and companies can afford this thing. The daily electricity bill alone is not something that ordinary capital can afford.

Many people only choose one of them as their research direction, but Fang Hong of course catches all of them. He doesn’t know which one he can catch to make a revolution, but he catches them all first.

Because there are so many talents, it is not an easy task to arrange them all.

Ten billion dollars is bound to make a splash.

Anyway, let's just burn it for five years first. As for five years later, maybe the country will take over by itself, and Fang Hong will retire after his success, hiding his merits and fame!

As for HR, he is the best HR, and all he needs to do is find a deputy to optimize the personnel.

In early June, the May Day movies, which had been released for more than a month, were taken off the shelves one after another.

"Lucy 2" defeated "Captain America 12.45"'s 3 billion with a slight box office result of 12.43 billion, becoming the box office champion of the May Day holiday.

The difference in box office revenue between the two films was only about two million, and the media also followed up with extensive reports:
"It's so satisfying! Lucy 2 is a complete winner over Hollywood Marvel movies!"

"China's movie box office has surpassed Hollywood! Are these three changes making Hollywood completely panicked?"

"Lucy 2 won the box office, Liu Tianxian defeated Hollywood blockbusters, and domestic films are rising!"

"Chinese films strike back! Lucy 2 rakes in huge box office sales, crushing Hollywood blockbusters!"

Such news was reported everywhere on the Internet, especially by self-media. And this must be touted, not only for national confidence, but also to tell peers that without Wanda, Yutu's movies can still stand up.

Not only is it resistant to competition, it can also compete with Hollywood movies.

Under the ecological system of Chang'e, Yutu and Tupiaopiao, it is not something that can be stopped by one or two cinema chains.

The box office of "Captain America 3" was very strong in the first three days, but it was cut in half again on the fourth day, and it went downhill obviously on the seventh day, and hit the bottom on the tenth day.

All Marvel movies are like this. You watch them for fun at first, but they become boring later on.

But Hollywood movies rely on the global market. The total global box office of this movie took in 11.51 billion US dollars, which is simply terrifying.

How many horror movies do you have to make to match their movie? Their copyright-related peripherals are selling like hot cakes.

And the shooting period is similar, it was completed in about a year.

They are really good at having fun, one of their films is worth several of yours.

"Lucy 2" grossed 2.75 million US dollars internationally, almost 19.25 billion.

Such a result is already very good for a Chinese-language film, and nowadays, only Liu Tianxian can sell more than 2 million US dollars at the overseas box office.

No other star with a Chinese face has achieved her international success.

Including the domestic box office, the global total box office of "Lucy 2" reached 4.52 million US dollars, which is similar to the performance of the previous version.

In the previous life, the international box office was high but the domestic box office was low; in this life, Liu Tianxian’s movies have high domestic box office but low international box office.

This is normal. After all, Liu Tianxian is more friendly and more accepted in China, but her acceptance is relatively lower internationally.

Coupled with Yutu's advantage in local publicity, it is normal for the domestic box office to be high.

The total global box office of "Lucy 2" exceeded 31 billion, making it another movie with a box office of over 30 billion.

Yutu will get about 8 million yuan. The share of overseas export films is not as high as imagined, but 20% is pretty good.

Wanda has no share of this money. It takes two or three months for theaters to receive the money. Some even receive it in just one month.

Now that we are connected to the Internet, how can things be the same as before?

And Liu Tianxian also successfully entered the TuPiaoPiao Hall of Fame with "Lucy 2", becoming the first Chinese actor with a box office of over yuan.

This is the Hall of Fame specially established by Tu Piaopiao. It collects the works of actors and directors and ranks them by box office, and publishes introductions and honors on Tu Piaopiao for people to admire.

Of course, the supporting roles are not included, only the main roles are counted. It is impossible for him to be like Da Hei Niu, who plays all supporting roles but still claims to be worth 10 billion.

This is a bit too exaggerated. It would be more authoritative if we only count the movies in which he starred.

However, Liu Tianxian topped the list, and the second place Shen Teng was far behind him.

Shen Teng has starred in three films so far, namely "The Mermaid", "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Lost in Thailand", all of which were hits.

But it's only at the level of 5 billion, and he needs to work hard for a few more years. Anyway, Shen Teng is very powerful. He was the first in his previous life, with more than 30 billion.

This guy is not only good at variety shows, but also good at acting.

On June 10, the intellectual property lawsuit between Swan Castle and Panda Interactive Entertainment opened in Shanghai.

Panda Interactive Entertainment is registered in Shanghai, and usually such lawsuits are fought on the defendant's side.

The entire live broadcast circle, including film and television content, is paying attention to this lawsuit, because the verdict of this lawsuit will affect the advancement of copyright law.

If Swan Castle wins, they can charge licensing fees to the entire Internet live streaming platform. Anyone who broadcasts their games must pay, and failure to pay will be considered infringement.

This includes some peripherals and content that appear in their game content for profit. As long as it is profitable, they have to pay.

If that's the case, then Swan Castle is equivalent to collecting a tax on the entire community just because their game is so popular.

Of course, if Panda Interactive Entertainment wins, they can get the free stuff with a clear conscience and do whatever they want.

But think about it, the chances are slim. The authorities are pushing for copyright regulations, but it's hard to say.

Xiao Wang and Lao Wang were also paying attention to this trial, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.

In fact, this matter is not surprising to anyone with a discerning eye. If Swan Castle fails, all previous copyright efforts will be in vain, and everyone can blatantly get it for free.

Soon, the Shanghai Intellectual Property Court determined that "the continuous dynamic images of "Heroes of Glory", "Honor of Kings" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" constitute quasi-electronic works, and the copyright belongs to Swan Castle!

Panda Interactive Entertainment organized anchors to broadcast game content and profit from it, infringing on the copyright of Swan Castle.

Although the live broadcast behavior has a certain degree of originality, it does not deviate from the core expression of the game itself and does not constitute fair use; game live broadcasts must be authorized by the copyright owner, otherwise it will constitute infringement;
Panda Interactive Entertainment should compensate Swan Castle RMB 4 million and stop the infringement.”

The original 20 billion yuan was reduced by four-fifths, but 4 million yuan would be enough. Now Panda Interactive Entertainment can't even come up with 4 million yuan.
