Chapter 89 No more hiding, we have a showdown
The time has come to Friday, March 27th.
· Lu An is watching a edited promotional video of the first "R1" robot at the Yuanjie Intelligent Controlled Humanoid Robot Experiment Center.
This is a promotional video that lasts nearly 5 minutes. The background music uses the classic BGM of the Hollywood blockbuster "Pacific Rim" released in July 2013.
The strong metallic feel makes people's blood boil.
The company is copyright-aware and has paid a fee to the copyright owner for choosing this BGM.
The opening scene of the promotional video shows the operator wearing a body-sensing suit, gradually putting on peripherals and entering the omnidirectional motion platform. The lens language also pays tribute to the scene of the mecha pilot entering the cockpit in "Pacific Rim".
In order to shoot the first promotional video of "R1", Metaverse Intelligence invited professionals from the film and television industry to design the shots, and also invited a well-known domestic martial arts action guidance team to provide action guidance for the close combat scenes of the two "R1" robots.
The promotional video also pays homage to some fighting scenes from the Hollywood movie "Iron Fist".
After the video was played, Fu Chen couldn't help but said: "Boss, I think there is something wrong with this film."
Lu An asked: "What's wrong?"
Fu Chen replied: "Well, how should I put it, the texture is so good, with a movie-level texture. People who see it for the first time may think that the R1 robot is a special effect and cannot be real."
Hearing this, Lu An glanced at him and said with a smile:
He said: "This is the effect we want. Last week, a bunch of well-known Vs boasted about the latest update video of Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot. As soon as we release this promotional video, they will definitely say it is fake propaganda."< br/>
"How can you make it more impactful? What you're playing with is contrast and reversal."
"When most people doubt that your promotional video is fake, and then you backhand and come up with another undoubted and ironclad evidence to prove it, such contrast and reversal can better arouse people's emotions and maximize the publicity effect."
Fu Chen asked curiously: "How to do it?"
Lu An said calmly: "Simple, after the atmosphere is almost set, we will get a few robots to walk around the offline store and do a live broadcast or something, and then watch the amateur videos captured by passers-by. By then, there will definitely be a lot of passers-by capturing, and there will definitely be a lot of amateur videos posted online."
Hearing the strategy of Big BOSS, Fu Chen Dun's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wonderful, boss, the picture from the perspective of an amateur is the most simple and realistic."
Lu An smiled and said: "With such a reversal, the previous promotional video will be ridiculed by a lot of public celebrities. This is the boomerang art.
The majority of netizens will never let them go. They will definitely pull it out and whip it up, and the heat will explode the next Saturday.
During this ordinary weekend, Metaverse Intelligent Control suddenly released a video online, which was the first promotional video for the R1 robot.
· The company’s official website, including the company’s video promotional videos simultaneously released on major video website platforms and Weibo official account.
Saturday did not cause much reaction, but people in the industry and investment circles paid attention immediately. They were shocked after watching the video, but they were very doubtful about the authenticity of the promotional video released by Metaverse Intelligent Control.
At the end of the second day, the promotional video began to ferment, causing agitation on the Internet.
Many netizens have also watched the video, including some well-known celebrities, and it sparked heated discussions online that day.
WOC! ! Is this true or false? ]
[Metaverse Intelligent Control exposed the first humanoid robot "R1", is the video a real machine display? ]
[This, this, this.—How is that possible? Impossible, absolutely impossible! ]
【Tian Shou La Tian Shou La, two robots are playing Wing Chun! ]
[In the video, does the controller use VR somatosensory equipment? Control the robot's synchronous movement by this means? ]
[Good guy, this synchronization rate, this coordination rate, making jumping and sliding movements simultaneously with others, is it so smooth and silky? ]
[This video reminds me of the Hollywood movie "Iron Fist". ]
[Can it also be controlled with a remote control? Are there two control modes? ]
[The video is too fake, Metaverse Intelligent Control is either doing a complete job, or it is false propaganda. ]
It really doesn’t look real, I think it’s just a special effect.
[Today is not April Fool’s Day either. Did you remember the wrong time? April Fool's Day is only 3 days away, haha! ]
[Let’s break up. If this is true, I will live broadcast on the computer and post a post as proof. ]
This is the tragedy in China. Look at Boston Dynamics, which is engaged in technical research down-to-earth, and then look at the so-called technology companies in China. They know how to commit fraud all day long, and even the fraud is so clumsy that it can be seen through at a glance. ]
The release of this promotional video by Metaverse Intelligent Control did not cause an explosive sensation. Instead, it caused a lot of doubts on the Internet. Most people believed that the video was fake. The R1 robot in the video was made of special effects. Even many people in the industry were not sure.
Because the maneuverability of the R1 robot in the promotional video can be described as "outrageous" in the eyes of people of this era, especially the fighting scene between the two R1 robots in the promotional video, which is even more outrageous.
Many people saw this scene and thought of the movie "Iron Fist". What makes people feel even more outrageous is that in many cases the R1 robot in the promotional video is even smoother than the robot in the movie "Iron Fist".
So everyone watched the video immediately, and most people doubted its authenticity.
Even many employees within Yuanjie Intelligent Control Company are a little skeptical. Except for Fu Chen and other core personnel involved in the project and the company's core executives, employees in other departments have no idea about this project at all.
In the following days, Metaverse Intelligent Control received a lot of criticism on the Internet.
· Publicly known Vs are also full of ridicule. On one side, they brag about Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robot, and on the other side, they think that DISS Metaverse’s R1 robot is a “special effects robot.”
The team that provided action guidance for this promotional video couldn't help but break the news when they saw the doubts on the Internet.
But they endured it.
Because of the confidentiality agreement signed, anyone who breaks the news without permission will face huge compensation.
Furthermore, even if they jumped out to break the news, no one would believe it because they did not have any video material during the shooting.
If you just rely on your mouth, no one will believe it.
Time passed day after day, and just like this, Yuanjie Intelligent Control was questioned for nearly a week.
The outside world was waiting for Yuanjie Intelligent Control to come out and say something, but so many days passed without a word. This seemed to further confirm that the promotional video was fake.
The big public Vs also ridiculed even more harshly.
It’s Friday, April 3rd.
At this moment, Lu An, who was in the experimental center, felt that the outside atmosphere was enough, and immediately said to Chen Chen: "Go and make arrangements. Tomorrow, we will bring three R1 robots to our offline store in the city center, display them offline, and allow onlookers to take pictures at will. "
Fu Chen nodded immediately when he heard it, and said eagerly: "I can't wait for a long time. Ever since the video was released last Saturday, those public celebrities who lick their magnesium have been ridiculing them, and I can't help but want to slap them in the face."
After Lu An finished giving instructions, Fu Chen immediately started preparations.
Tomorrow happens to be the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday. There are three days of vacation. Netizens are also free and have enough time to ferment.
This is why Lu An chose to release a promotional video last Saturday, and then conduct a live broadcast this Saturday, and also allowed visitors to take photos freely.
The next day.
At about 10 a.m., Lu An came to the offline store in the center of Jianing.
The store is also quite busy at the moment. Many people with physical disabilities, accompanied by their family or friends, come to the store to see bionic prosthetic arms or legs.
Lu An is outside the store. In addition, there are several staff members. One of them is facing Lu An with a live broadcast camera.
At this moment, the official account of Yuanjie Intelligent Control is conducting simultaneous live broadcasts on several online live broadcast platforms such as Douyu. The total number of live broadcast platforms across the entire network has about 22,000 viewers.
"Last Saturday our company released the first promotional video for the R1 robot. The video was widely questioned by the outside world after it was released." Lu An faced the camera and said calmly: "I also read the news on the Internet. Everyone said it was special effects and that we were faking it."
Speaking of this, Lu An looked He looked into the camera with a smile on his face: "Real gold is not afraid of fire. In that case, we won't hide it anymore. Let's show off our cards. Let's open the eyes of the audience through live broadcast and completely dispel everyone's doubts."
"Good guy, are you so sure? Isn't that promotional video really a special effect?" A netizen who was watching the live broadcast said to himself. Everyone saw that Lu An during the live broadcast did not look like he was joking. It would be great fun to joke in this situation.
The audience in the live broadcast room was immediately aroused by Lu An's words and was full of expectations. If this was true, it would definitely blow up the whole network.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
There was a well-known big V who was diving in the live broadcast room to watch with disbelief on his face.
Outside the offline store where the live broadcast was located, Lu An saw a truck approaching, and immediately signaled to the camera: "Friends, viewers, the real owner is here."
All the viewers stared at the live broadcast screen intently, and saw a truck coming to a stop in front of the offline store. Lu An also walked calmly and calmly, followed by employees carrying cameras.
"Open."
Lu An motioned without any ink, and two employees immediately came to the back of the truck and opened the back door of the cargo box.
The live broadcast footage was immediately put in the cargo box. The moment the 20,000 viewers watching online saw the footage, everyone at the scene had shock written all over their faces.
