My Animation Era

  Chapter 175 WanBaoPaint (for subscription)

   Gu Miao didn't know what happened in Zhong Hai.

  If he knew that the dead fat house who frantically swiped gifts in the live broadcast room of "Moon Hare" and left a message saying "I don't want to marry anyone who isn't a little rabbit" turned out to be his black fan boss, he would definitely use his authority to seal this guy.

  Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world.

  Virtual anchor [Little Rabbit] is a subsidiary of Wanbao Group, a service unilaterally derived and launched by Wanbao Video.

   It was Gu Miao's idea at first...

   During this period of time, many online live broadcast platforms are booming, which reminds him of those legendary "leather man" anchors.

   That's right!

  The kind of anchor that Jiaxin Tang likes!

   This was just a casual remark on his part, and he never thought of asking Wanbao Video to do this. After all, in his view, this is not a key industry.

  But he never expected it!

   Wanbao Video not only felt that the plan was feasible, but also found a technology company specializing in intelligent speech and language technology research to cooperate and launched a virtual anchor [Moon Hare].

   Here's another mode!

  Different from the traditional "leather man" anchor, the [Moon Hare] produced by Wanbao Video is actually a derivative of AI.

   It is not action and expression collection!

  This little rabbit will automatically make corresponding actions according to the barrage screened by "keywords" and give voice answers.

  No human intervention in the whole process.

   It sounds mysterious, but it’s not that mysterious. It’s nothing more than an AI voice assistant paired with a set of CG software that can render animation scenes according to “instructions”.

for example…

  If the audience sends out the barrage of "Can the anchor sit down and take a break", after filtering by keywords, it will become two keywords of "sit down" and "rest".

   "I'm so tired! I'm going to rest."

   After the voice is automatically played, the software will render a picture of the animated character "sit down".

   Sounds boring, right?

  When Gu Miao first heard about this thing, her expression was more surprised than that of Liu Donghai.

  However, when he had a deep understanding of how this system works, he was immediately disappointed, and suddenly felt cheated.

no way!

  The current AI technology is actually not particularly advanced and mature. This virtual anchor, Xiaotu, is particularly retarded, and the logic is relatively rigid.

  Occasionally flirting is okay.

  You really expect this thing to be so smart and spiritual in real-life communication, it is absolutely impossible.

   To put it bluntly, artificial mental retardation!

  In this day and age, it may still be a bit attractive. After all, everyone has never seen a two-dimensional paper man who can speak and move actively.

   After two years, when AI technology becomes more and more popular, this thing will almost be eliminated.

   Of course, this is not a big problem.

   Originally, this was just an experiment, an "animation production software" newly developed by Wanbao Animation. No one really cares about the results and grades.

Yes, that's right!

  Wanbao Animation has "self-developed" an animation production software.

  The name of this software is easy to remember, it is called [WanBaoPaint], or WBP for short.

  Don’t ask, when will Wanbao have such technical strength and be able to develop its own animation production software?

  Ask is money ability!

  Gu Miao bought a company that specializes in "animation creation" software. Wouldn't the software under it become Wanbao's "self-developed" software?

To be honest…

   When engaging in animation creation, the software used is not very important. But if there is a software that can better fit the user's "creative habits", it will definitely greatly improve efficiency.

   Efficiency is king!

  Gu Miao was thinking about this aspect, so she made this move to let the employees get used to creating animations with WBP.

   In this way, the efficiency will be greatly improved!

   After all, the software is our own. Once you encounter any problems, such as a material/plug-in that is not convenient to use, just tell the software maintenance department directly and let them update it.

   This is common in the industry.

  Especially for those big foreign animation companies, the software they use is no different from the software used by everyone on the market at first glance.

  Why, I use Flash and you use Flash, who is more noble than whom?

But actually…

  Enterprise Edition is really different!

  This difference is not only reflected in the "fee", but also in the "service" level.

  The same software BUG has been reported by individual users for 10,000 years, but it may not be able to attract the attention of developers and modify it. Enterprise users, especially those large enterprises, will basically correct it soon after feedback.

  Don't feel wronged...

  The company spends so much money, it should have a better service attitude.

   In addition, personalized customization is also very common.

  After all, software is something that everyone's "use way" is different.

  For example, the same chat software, some people use it to chat about sex, some people use it to contact relatives and friends, and some people use it to work...

   This difference is more reflected in some "details". At this time, if software developers can customize and optimize the software according to "customer needs", it will definitely greatly improve customer satisfaction.

   What Gu Miao did was exactly this thing.

  Wanbao Animation has grown in scale, and the total number of employees has approached 700 by the end of this month, which is a rather large number.

   Not only animation software…

  In fact, Wanbao also has big problems in the "office" software, which urgently needs to be improved and corrected.

   Regarding this, Gu Miao's opinion is very simple.

  If there is good software on the market, then buy it and use it. If not, then entrust a third-party software company to help develop an internal software.

  Things that can be solved with money are nothing.

  Software is ultimately a hiccup.

  For an animation company, no matter how good the software and hardware are, if they cannot produce high-quality works, they will always be inferior.

   In terms of works, "Happy Baby", which has just received [Dongyanzi], is undoubtedly another ambitious work of Wanbao Animation after "Dragon Fighter" this year.

  The schedule has been finalized.

  Director Wang made several consecutive phone calls to find Gu Miao to communicate and coordinate the schedule. In the end, the two decided to premiere the animation "Happy Baby" on the evening of November 3rd.

  It was originally broadcast on the 1st...

   There is no way, who made Jiangchuan Satellite TV's "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama" broadcast in the prime time at night not yet finished, so we can only wait two more days.

   Interesting to say.

  Jiangchuan Satellite TV’s hit mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama, the ratings alone may be a bit low, 3.11% can barely rank in the top ten in the same period. But in terms of word of mouth, it is really enviable.

Why is that?

  Gu Miao didn't understand at first, why such an old-fashioned mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama has no bright spots, including Fu Huadao, why the word of mouth is so good?

  Until Director Wang told him that not only were the actors playing the "husband and wife" in the play really a couple in reality, but also that the daughter-in-law was fighting with her mother-in-law on Weibo, he immediately realized it.

  This acting is amazing!

   Recently, my stomach is not very good, and I often have colic. I don't know what's wrong. Does anyone know?
