Listening to Yang Chengye's description, Zhong Ming also roughly assessed the prospects of this intelligent module.

It's still good.

If you are a smart module similar to other companies, it will certainly not be a head, and the bell will not be interested.But Yang Chengye said that the micro-projection technology is equivalent to a killer of this holographic projection module, which is completely different from other intelligent modules.

The cost will inevitably increase, and the price will inevitably increase, but as long as the effect is good, it can be sold to the local tycoon.

Whether it is to take the cost-effective route or take the luxury route, as long as you can make a difference, it will have a head start.

The bell asked, “Why did you think of using the image of Chanel?”

Yang Chengye smiled: "This is actually two points."

"First of all, Shane's image, I personally like it very much, and I think it is very suitable for our target group!"

"The smart module is mainly used by young people.Older people, generally more exclusive to smart devices, they basically do not buy smart modules, even if their children buy, generally only buy the cheapest kind, two or three hundred dollars a small box, to the coffee table, can play the simplest, the most basic control of all intelligent appliances function, is enough.

"Young people, like games, like virtual idols, for this group of people, Chanel compared to other virtual idols, let them like more."Before Shanel was able to fire all over the network, attracted a large number of anchors to cos, and won the first prize of the virtual idol competition, which can show that this image is loved by young people.

"Moreover, around the image of Shane, an Internet-addicted girl, we can also launch some new features, such as smart play..."

“Second, there is the issue of cost performance.To be honest, our company's budget in this piece is also limited, to cooperate with Subai, Di Na, these well-known virtual idols, that price is too high, the company will not approve."

"Of course, not to say that you are light, we are more inclined to use the way of sharing cooperation, if the intelligent module can really succeed, then your income, will not be less!" 」

Yang Chengye's words are very careful, for fear of causing a misunderstanding of the bell.

But he is also the truth, those who are very well-known virtual idols, the cost of endorsement is too high.

It is not that Zhihuan Technology can't afford this money, mainly because it feels that the price/performance ratio is not appropriate, not to mention that the risk is too large.

Such a smart module can not fire, even Yang Chengye himself is bottomless, no money to earn, first hit into the tens of millions of levels of endorsement fees, a little too irrational.

In this world, a first-tier star in Huaxia circles, the endorsement fee is basically a level of ten or twenty million, and those first-class virtual idols are cheaper than real people, but they are not cheap.

After all, the real person endorsement, not just a face, shoot a few ads on the end of the work, also do not spend any effort, the same is to buy a face, the virtual idol fans are also a lot of fans, the heat is not low, with the ability to win the heat, why to reduce the price.

Yang Chengye wants the initial endorsement fee less, and calculates money by sharing, but the big companies such as Xinghua Entertainment will never agree.

Joking, you use Su Bai as an endorsement, the result of the intelligent module is not completed, the subsequent sharing of income is not much, that is not equal to white yo-yo?

The bottom line of Xinghua mutual entertainment is to sign a gambling agreement, such as sales can not reach XXX, Zhihuan Technology will have to compensate for an additional endorsement fee, which Yang Chengye certainly can not accept.

If the appeal fee is not high enough, it can only buy some virtual idols with low relative visibility, such as Shangguanyun, but Yang Chengye does not like it.

Therefore, Yang Chengye also turned to the bell here, hoping to talk about cooperation with Chanel.

Half an hour later, both sides had a good impression of each other.

Of course, this thing is mainly to see the attitude of the bell, after all, the image of Chanel is placed here, Yang Chengye has nothing to be satisfied with, the key to see the bell is willing to cooperate.

"So, Mr. Chung, I'll take you first to see our company's products, and you'll have a bottom in your heart."

Yang Chengye first took the bell to look at the finished product of the intelligent module, probably also want to show the research and development strength of Zhihuan Technology.

“This is our smart module, which can be installed on the ceiling or on the wall, just like this.”

In his hand was a small black box, which looked like a square brick, four squares, about two fingers thick.

The intelligent module has some other accessories, after installation, the module will automatically scan the structure and layout of the room, and carry out intelligent analysis, imaging, and then projection of the image in the room.

It can connect audio, TV, game console and other equipment, and also bring radio and audio equipment to communicate with the owner.

"Now because there is no corresponding virtual idol, so only the most basic development version to replace, take a look, follow-up can be optimized."Yang Chengye said.

Now the intelligent module is projected out of a robot female, which is a general material used during development, looks a little spicy eyes, but the intelligence level is very high.

After all, Zhihuan Technology is to do AI to start, just engage in it is very powerful.

“Play the game with me.”Yang Chengye said to the intelligent module.

“Okay, which game do you want to play?“War of the Gods, or Dark Light?”

Yang Chengye said, "Dark Light, two-person mode."

The game console in the room automatically opens, opens a single-player game "Dark Light", and selects the two-person mode.

Yang Chengye picked up the handle and could play games with artificial intelligence directly.

In the course of the two-player game, the AI looks like a real player, sometimes very reliable, and sometimes there will be mistakes.Mistakes will be embarrassed, will apologize, basically no behavior.

“Let’s play here today.Sweep the ground.”Yang Chengye put down the handle and said to the smart module.

The robot next to the sweeping machine starts automatically and starts to sweep the floor.

Yang Chengye demonstrated some other functions, such as turning on the TV regularly, reminding important things, and so on.

In fact, these functions, other intelligent modules also have, and the difference between this intelligent module is that the virtual image generated by this holographic projection will always be in the living room like a real person to make actions.

For example, when playing a game, the virtual idol will find a position facing the TV and sit down if there is no seat or sitting on the ground.

The owner can also make some settings, such as the performance that can be set in the standby state, the virtual image can disappear directly, and can also doze off and read in the room, which can be adjusted.

What’s even more amazing is that there’s a special “nospic model.”

In "nostalgia mode", the owner says a "turn on TV", and the virtual image will really run to the TV side and press a button, and then the TV turns on.

The owner said a "sweeping", the virtual image will run to the sweeping robot to press a button, and then sweep the robot to start.

Although the opening is still automatically opened with permission, but so much more dynamic display, as if there is really a housekeeper in the living room to listen to your words before busy.

"It's funny."The bell praises.

If it is a general intelligent module, there is really no need to let the virtual idol endorsement, it is useless.

However, this smart module is good that it has a holographic projection, which can make the virtual idol really live in the living room!

It feels like a pretty good benefit for some empty nesters, or empty nest single dogs.

“Well, let’s talk about the contract.In addition, after the contract is signed, our side will prepare Chanel's action collection and dubbing, action collection is good to say, mainly voice-over, expression capture these, but also need you to cooperate, to check."

...

The terms of the electronic contract, Yang Chengye issued a letter to Zhong Ming.

The bell-ringing scene could not see such a long clause, and it had to be taken back to study carefully, saving the pit.

The ringing of the bell on the road is still pondering, after years of recruiting, you have to find a person responsible for legal affairs, a whole studio is law-blind and semi-flaw blind, but it is not very good.

At that time, this more complex contract terms will be completed by taking a direct look at the legal affairs, and there is no need to worry about it.

The contract is a relatively ordinary endorsement contract, but the initial endorsement fee is not much, only 2 million, every subsequent sale of a smart module, the micro-light studio can get 30% of the revenue as a share.

According to the pricing of Zhihuan Technology, this new smart module is priced at about 1,000 yuan, and may sell a price similar to 998.After deducting the foundry fee, research and development costs, etc., a smart module earns about 150.

This price is not low, but not high, because the profit margin of the hardware is almost like this, to thousands of yuan of bracelets, for example, low earn 50~80, high income 100~150, after all, intelligent hardware is now more competitive, there are many manufacturers to take the cost-effective route, thin profits, price butchers, profits will not be too high.

If a company earns 150 yuan, then every smart ring technology sells a smart module, the micro-light studio can be divided into about 40 yuan, and 100,000 units are sold, which is 4 million.

Obviously, this offer is certainly unacceptable for Xinghua mutual entertainment, and these virtual idols such as Subai are directly worth tens of millions.

As for sales?Not very realistic.After all, this is a smart module, not a bracelet.

The bracelet is a necessity, and the average person's replacement needs are large, and the shipments of several bracelet manufacturers are in billions of units.

But the smart module is not a necessity, and even the use of people is not much, can buy millions of levels?

It’s a little hard, Yang Chengye himself has no confidence.

However, Zhong Ming has confidence in Chanel, not to mention the million level, as long as it sells 500,000, the low-light studio can be divided into 20 million, which is a revenue that cannot be ignored.

...

Three days later, the two parties officially signed the contract.

Yang Chengye packaged a document for Zhong Ming, which contained two folders, namely "expression capture" and "recording".

In the "emoji capture" folder, there are many videos, the left half is the real expression, and the right half is the expression of Shane after processing.

The principle of expression capture and motion capture is actually very simple, that is, the real person's face and body are installed trackers, and when real people make expressions and movements, they can be transmitted to the computer and applied to the virtual person.

This technology has been widely used, do some 3A masterpiece, or make virtual idols, basically will be used.The studio has no equipment for the time being, just because it can't afford it, and it will definitely have its own motion capture studio to make a big game in the future.

This time, Zhihuan Technology will use the image of Chanel, and it will certainly have to solve all these problems of actions, expressions and sound sources.

The bell looked at the "emoji capture" column.

The performance of these actors is similar, and the bells have not seen particularly outstanding for the time being.

Listen to the recording again.

Many of the voice speakers recorded the sound according to Chanel's lines, and the bell needed to pick out one of the most suitable, as the sound source of Chanel.

After choosing the sound source and recording, Shane can speak like any other virtual idol.

At the same time, this set of sound sources can also have some other uses, such as some navigation software, radio software to do sound sources, when the time to open the bracelet map: Chanel continues to navigate for you!Also good.

The sound source can be said to be the second life of the virtual idol, the sound is not good, no characteristics, the virtual idol is half cold, must be careful.

However, the bell opened the recording one by one to listen to it, and it was not particularly satisfactory.

It’s a little... too normal.

Zhong Ming replied to Yang Chengye: "Emoji capture, I will look again."The sound source is not very good, it feels too ordinary, there is no characteristic.

Yang Chengye: "Uh... this is already Huaxia's excellent voice, all to the film, anime voice, but also with some games."What do you say, ‘Nothing special,’ exactly what kind of features you want?”

Zhong Ming: "First of all, it is certainly different from the voice of the film, to bring some sense of germination and the feeling of the middle two, that is, the second dimension, but also with a little playful or even a prank."

"Uh ..." Yang Chengye hesitated and replied, "These voice actors should have been trying to express what you said."

The bell shook his head: "Not good, at least I didn't hear it."

Yang Chengye: "Well, then I will look for it again, if you have any suitable candidate, you can also recommend it, after all, this virtual idol is your design, you have the absolute right to speak."

The source of sound selection should be careful, and Yang Chengye is obviously very clear about this.

If the bell is not satisfied, it must continue to be found.

...

The night.

off work.

Jiang Wanna and Zhou Sen a few people added a little work for a while, and was urged by the bell to go home.

The progress of the project does not need to be rushed, and it can be completed as scheduled anyway.

After dinner, the bell suddenly remembered something.

Helping people is not working!

This thing to help others after you can take out and use it, you have helped the fantasy time studio so much, how to say it is also a helper, right?

Even though I got a lot of pay later...

The bell was trying to get the helper's dice out of the bracelet, but this time it succeeded.

"Oh, I don't care about anything else, I want to turn over ten times the peach blossom, can you meet me in the system?"
