Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 345 The god-level robot makes people super energetic

October 19, 2009, Seoul, Peninsula.

As the sun was about to set on a new day, Lao Li arrived at the second-floor buffet restaurant. Many people eating and drinking in the restaurant stood up to greet him respectfully.

This is the fifth day that Lao Li and his team have been in Seoul.

Further development of (John Wick 4) is progressing smoothly.

This hotel in front of us is one of the major film sets used by Samsung for shooting movies.

In the storyline, Kadilina, Gulnazar, and Dilraba are a retired Uyghur-Han team who are ostensibly hotel owners and heirs.

The main character, Da Meiyuan, committed murder at the Intercontinental Hotel in the third season.

As a result, he was wanted globally and fled here for refuge.

A large group of assassins stormed the hotel, including Donnie Yen, whose daughter was captured by the villainous Earl who threatened him to take action.

There are numerous nighttime combat scenes in the hotel.

As expected, Dilraba's shot was a disaster.

Old Li gave a brief greeting, selected his meal, and then arrived at the table with Donnie Yen, Zhang Jin, and Cai Shaofen. "Congratulations, Donnie, you have an absolute masterpiece now."

In this National Day holiday box office trend.

Ip Man 2 grossed 4.338 million RMB in mainland China in the first eight days.

The trend remained stable afterward, in an era when an average movie ticket cost 30 yuan.

The daily record in mainland China remained at over 9000 million.

Even on weekdays, Ip Man 2, with an 80% screening rate, still grossed around 2000 million.

It could reach 40 to 50 million over the weekend.

October 10th is a workday after the adjusted work schedule.

The total revenue for the three-day weekend, up to the 19th, reached 1.46 million.

1.49 million in seven working days.

Ip Man 2 grossed 7.288 million yuan in mainland China.

The film "A Simple Noodle Story," released at the same time, dragged Zhang Yimou into the outhouse.

Ip Man is not Donnie Yen's achievement alone.

From Zhu Yilong and Han Geng to Liu Yifei and Zhang Xinyu, who made guest appearances on roadshows.

They also have considerable appeal at the roadshow.

These are all newly emerging young actors and actresses.

For example, Zhu Yilong's popularity and influence after "So Young".

Actually, it's the same trajectory as Han Geng, who returned after studying in South Korea.

Then it's the same with Wu, Lu, Huang, and Zhang.

Xiao Zhu has a huge number of female fans and older female fans.

Need I say more about Liu Yifei?

She is currently in production for the third season of Back to the Ming Dynasty, so the frequency of promotional events is not that high.

But countless fans of the ethereal beauty went crazy buying movie tickets to rewatch Ip Man 2; what countless people looked forward to most was watching a movie.

I was fortunate enough to be surprised by Xiao Liu's surprise visit and witness Xianfei's unparalleled beauty up close.

In this dimension, there are no messy handshake tickets in the Chinese entertainment industry.

But taking photos with fans and signing autographs at the roadshow are minor things, just basic stuff.

For countless otaku, Zhu Yilong and Liu Yifei have more appeal than Donnie Yen.

Besides, Zhang Bozhi is one of the Four Great Actresses!
In mainland China, 7.288 million yuan was generated in 18 days. This trend shows that as long as the roadshow continues and there is no major shutdown, it will be fine.

(Ip Man 2) eventually broke one billion in box office revenue in mainland China, and it wouldn't be difficult for it to surpass the performance of Transformers 2.

As for Zhang Jin and Cai Shaofen?

There's a free hunter in John Wick 4 who has quite a few scenes.

In the version featuring Da Meiyuan, he is the third male lead, second only to Donnie Yen and the Earl.

The free hunters repeatedly helped Da Meiyuan defeat her opponents and assassins, and saved her, all in order to increase the High Table's bounty on the female lead.

Increased from $1000 million to $5000 million.

He then made his move and reaped the greatest wealth.

In the original version, it depicts a young Black man with a war dog going on a killing spree.

This role was also one that Zhang Jin could easily play well in the fall of 2009.

Cai Shaofen accompanied her husband on his trip; the two have already registered their marriage.

Donnie Yen and his companions hurriedly offered polite flattery, showering him with compliments one after another.

Even with the (Ip Man) series, Ah Dan only became a huge star in China, taking his career to a new level.

I'm fortunate enough to be a part of John Wick 4? This is an international production.

Due to various unexpected events and a combination of promotional boosts, John Wick 2 achieved a box office of $1.99 million in Europe and America.

The third installment, lacking many of the hype and buffs, still grossed $1.54 million in the West.

Moreover, their reputation is quite good.

These are all cutting-edge action sequences and sharp editing that have taken the global film and television industry by storm.

When the fourth installment arrives, even if it's terrible, it still has a chance to gross $1 million on the European and American film markets.

This is the Chinese-language entertainment industry, aside from the (Lucy) series, that has the best chance of reaching the global international market.

Other special effects in the series such as (Legend of the White Snake) and (A Chinese Ghost Story IV).

Its performance in the international markets of Europe and America is also far inferior to that of Jisu.

After a lively dinner, Old Li returned to his penthouse suite.

Da Meiyuan has just recovered, and her physical strength and energy have returned to their peak.

She smiled as she combed her hair into a ponytail, "There are so many night scenes in the fourth installment."

"This work schedule is completely upside down, day and night."

Old Li smiled and encouraged Da Meiyuan for a few words before letting her go downstairs to start working.

After she left, Mao Xiaotong ran over energetically to eat the elephant, saying, "Senior brother, I've taken on the role of the second female lead in The Flowers of War."

"It was filmed and produced in 2010. Although it was a supporting role, if I had performed well, I could have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress, right?"

Li Wenyu was speechless.

Xiao Tong's acting skills are even better than Yang Mi's; she's a shoo-in for Best Supporting Actress.

These days have passed again.

It turns out that Yang Mi took the initiative to contact New Pictures and Zhang Yimou, and landed the lead role in (The Flowers of War).

The Secret in the Secret has an acting skill level of 80+, and also a wealth of experience.

Her performance far surpassed that of the original Ni Ni.

Filming for The Flowers of War started in 2010, giving Da Mimi and Mao Xiaotong ample time to immerse themselves in their roles beforehand.

That is, regarding the new picture.

Can't they help their contracted actresses become famous? Losing this opportunity is a minor matter.

Two young actresses from the TV series "The Eight Beauties of Time" and "The Five Dragon Girls" played the lead and second lead roles.

The promotional efforts during roadshows are definitely not weak.

As for English and the Southern Metropolitan dialect?

Huang Xiaoming started taking English tests to seize opportunities in 2003.

Now, all the members of the "Big Secret" (a popular online community for celebrities) have English scores of 75+, and Mao Xiaotong herself is not bad either.

There's still so much time; learning the dialect is a piece of cake.

Just like when Yang Mi started using the Taiwanese dialect, she managed to snatch the big pie from the project (in those years).

During Xiaotong's busy learning period, Lao Li rewarded her with a display of her overflowing talent.

I just left for the filming location.

…………

November 20, 2009 – the decade is fast approaching.

Another month has passed, and John Wick 4 is still not fully completed.

However, the New York scenes ended long ago.

Old Li possesses superhuman skills; he can easily create several viruses that shut down computers and disconnect the internet.

You can also manage and schedule it anytime via your mobile phone.

The Judas Group, which uses finance to hold the entire United States hostage, simply cannot withstand a financial system that is constantly being ripped off and lacks connectivity.

Many Jewish leaders accompanied Lao Li as he flew across the Taiwan Strait.

Then came film and television production projects in New York.

At the headquarters of the Beijing Media Building, Li Wenyu, with the support of supercomputing, controlled a humanoid alloy skeleton robot to reach the elevator on the 15th floor.

The camera system acts as an electronic eye.

The black machine looks similar to the Tiangong Robotics of more than ten years later.

He controlled the robot to reach the 11th floor, and upon exiting, he saw Huang Shengyi leading Tang Yan towards him. Old Li remained silent in front of the supercomputing platform.

After inputting a string of text, the robot on the 11th floor opened its alloy mouth and smiled, "Little Huang, you've wrapped up filming?"

Late August (the time of the celebration banquet for "Overheard").

Huang Shengyi has been filming in the drama "A Beautiful Era of Daughter-in-Law" for two or three months.

It's normal for filming to wrap up after another 3 months.

The robot's voice pack is, of course, Lao Li's own.

His tone was light and cheerful, with a hint of laughter.

Huang Shengyi and Tang Yan were stunned for a few seconds; she had finished filming more than half a month ago.

Confused, Xiao Huang rushed forward and asked, "Senior, are you controlling this robot in the AI ​​server room?"

The robot readily engages in voice dialogue.

This is like having a face-to-face conversation, even though it's four floors apart.

Tang Yan, with her long legs, exclaimed in surprise, "Senior brother, you're such a genius! What can this robot do?"

Old Li chuckled, "They're experimenting with walking, sitting, lying down, and normal conversation."

He entered the field of AI in 2006.

In 2008, the robot dog integrated the Type 92 and Type 95 firearms and led an elite squad in an outdoor combat exercise.

Since then, the focus has been on robots.

After a year, they finally created a fully-fledged robot for the first time.

Furthermore, the most advanced radio systems at the media headquarters and branches, combined with supercomputing-level AI computing and numerous software and hardware components, are utilized.

The robot was officially unveiled.

The novelty has worn off for celebrities like Fan Bingbing, Tong Liya, and Liu Shishi.

But among regular employees, it's just the first appearance, the first contact.

As they continued chatting and laughing, Xiao Huang and Tang Yan kept exclaiming and screaming, no longer in a hurry to go out, and became bystanders.

Not long after, Liu Yifei, who was also about to go out, was amazed by the mechanical power of the machine.

I stood in the corridor, half-asleep, watching the drama unfold.

Huang Shengyi eagerly asked, "Senior brother, can I shake hands with the robot?"

"Does this need to be kept secret? Can we take a photo together?"

Old Li chuckled, "Taking a photo is fine, but shaking hands isn't. The big data system for the grip strength of the robotic arm and hand hasn't been filled yet."

It's not just grip strength, but also includes other forms of fist strength, palm strength, and so on.

These large databases haven't even been established yet, let alone AI experiments.

The current version is 1.0, which allows users to perform the simplest basic actions such as walking, stretching their arms, and pressing elevator buttons with their fingers.

This is an alloy hand; it doesn't have a large database to fill it with.

An accidental handshake could result in a broken or fractured finger or hand.

The strength of the hands, supported by data, comes from the subtle control shown in the movie "A World Without Thieves" when peeling a raw egg with bare hands.

Then there's the aspect of boxing techniques that allow human boxers to lose without serious injury, or suffer only minor injuries, and so on.

This involves a system that is far too large and complex.

Upgrade from version 1.0 to version 1.9.

Only then can the robot achieve extraordinary control over its limbs and body.

This may not be achieved until 2011.

Huang Shengyi handed her phone to Tang Yan, saying, "Tang, can you take a picture of this for me? This robot is so cool."

She felt like she was playing a video game, chatting and having fun with her in-game friends.

Xiao Huang himself doesn't enjoy online games as much as Pang Bing or Li Jiaxin.

But think about who's on the other end of the line, chatting with you and doing experiments?

Being able to become friends with Lao Li himself in this strange new style of game is quite exciting.

A few hours later, more and more onlookers watched as the robot moved up and down the headquarters building.

This little thrill, though seemingly minor, was still quite enjoyable.

It wasn't until around 2 PM on the 20th that Lao Li managed to get the robot back to the 15th floor to charge.

The first experiment has ended.

The next few days.

As December approached, Lao Li continued to experiment with the various dynamic rhythms of the robot every day.

And such as the database of control over the arms, legs and limbs.

Then, similar to the development of a database for dynamic control over the head, body, and other parts of the body, research and development is underway.

11 month 30 number.

Around 8 a.m., Lao Li was still working in the computer room.

After knocking on the door and receiving permission, Nazha entered with an expectant look on her face. "Boss, I'm turning 18 soon."

"Besides kissing scenes, you should also give me pointers on sex scenes and other love scenes?"

Old Li, “…”

The praise and flattery begin on New Year's Day.

It's not too late to start a new chapter in her life when she turns 18.

Naza ran over and hugged Lao Li's arm, "After you finish work, shall we go watch (If You Are the One 2) and (The Spy Next Door)?"

The New Year's Day and Christmas season is approaching.

These two films were the main contenders for the market during the peak season at the end of 09.

Time only invested 33% to become the production and distribution party.

Old Li nodded, "Going to take a look is fine, just to relax and clear your head."

During this period, "Ip Man 2" and "A Simple Noodle Story" which were scheduled for the National Day holiday have already been taken off the screens.

Ip Man 2 grossed 10.78 billion yuan at the box office in mainland China.
The movie grossed 11.39 billion yuan nationwide.

The top five films in Chinese film history all grossed over 10 billion yuan in mainland China.

Then wait for (A Chinese Ghost Story 5), (John Wick 4), (Lucy 2), (Lost in Thailand), and bombard the Lunar New Year celebrations with Avatar.

It is estimated that each of the top ten companies will surpass the billion mark.

However, the competition among blockbusters is fierce, with each film vying for screen time and box office revenue.

It could allow a single blockbuster to dominate the Lunar New Year film season, potentially reaching 16 billion to 17 billion yuan in box office revenue.

The market has collectively rebounded to the 10 billion to 11 billion yuan level!
Old Li even considered postponing (John Wick 4) to the May Day release in 2010.

After all, besides these major productions, there are quite a few other ordinary films from other companies as well.

In this version of (Lost in Thailand), the male lead is Deng Chao, and the mistress at the beginning is Tang Yan.

Deng Chao's comedic sense is actually quite good, and his acting skills are also solid; he could easily replace Xu Guangtou.

The second male lead is still Wang Baoqiang, and the handsome passerby is Qiao Zhenyu.

The male lead's wife is Sun Li!!

It also has a bit of a prank element.

At the end of November, the TV series "A Beautiful Era of Daughter-in-Law" starring Huang Shengyi, Tang Yan, and others began airing, with an initial national viewership rating of 11%.

And it keeps pushing Little Yellow to dominate the small screen.

Even at its peak, it couldn't compare to half the data of (Return to Ming) (The Ultimate Servant).

This also helps solidify her status.

Old Li worked in the computer room for half an hour.

She only managed to get Nazha to go to the screening room on the 13th floor with her after much pleading.

Old Li was still watching Jiang Shuying's version of If You Are the One 2 in the luxurious 10-person screening room.

Tong Liya and Liu Shishi came running together.

While using his smooth talk and sweet words, he quickly kicked Nazha out of the screening room.

On the 13th floor corridor.

Nazha, "..."

She felt as if she were still immersed in the pure joy of her first love, enjoying boundless spiritual pleasure.

When her older sister comes along and shamelessly starts a fight, what can she do?
Fortunately, she'll be eighteen soon.

Naza was still confused and muttering to herself when she saw Deng Chao, Sun Li, Tang Yan, and others come out of another large screening room.

This is a large group of audience members who came out after watching a show.

Blake Lively saw Nazha in the crowd and walked over with a smile, "Nazha, want to go shopping together? I've taken on a Planet of the Apes project."

"Would you be interested in making a cameo appearance in a 20th Century Fox blockbuster?"

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a revamped old IP, a Hollywood A-list production.

Naza shrugged, "I'm not interested. I'm more comfortable having fun in East Asia."
