This director lacks vision.

Chapter 292 The Belated Main Quest

Although Liu Yifei's words are outrageous, they are also a kind of truth in some respects.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said with righteous indignation, "The success or failure of Produce 101 depends on the quality of the contestants."

Xiao Wang helped us find some excellent contestants, which is a good thing for the show. How can you call it a concubine selection?
"Sissi, your thinking is too narrow-minded. You need to broaden your horizons!"

Wang Sicong nodded in deep agreement: "That's right, we need to broaden our horizons."

Unexpectedly, Liu Yifei defeated the competition with data analysis.

She looked at Jiang Yifeng and said, "Then let me ask you, out of the seven beauties in the 101 girl group, how many have you already won over?"

Apart from Zhang Yuxi and He Na, you've taken in the other five.

I think the remaining two are just a matter of time.

Especially Zhang Yuxi, she's been contacting me and Changchang a lot, she's been very proactive."

These words left Jiang Yifeng speechless.

That's the truth, and there's no way to refute it.

Wang Sicong was so envious when he heard this that he felt his teeth ache. He envied Jiang Yifeng for being surrounded by beautiful women, and even more so for having a good body that could continuously produce results.

After Liu Yifei said that, Jiang Yifeng seemed to have lost on the surface, but in reality, he was completely won.

This is why Wang Sicong became obsessed with building his career.

The pleasure that success in one's career brings to a man is often more exciting and satisfying than the pleasure of having sex with women.

Just as Jiang Yifeng was about to speak, he received a system notification.

[Work: Stranger Things]

Production quality: 4 stars. A youth nostalgia suspense web series that blends many elements. The visuals and soundtrack are top-notch, and the atmosphere is very well created.

However, the inclusion of too many settings and nostalgic references limits its target audience.

Overall, it is a well-made spin-off series.

Revenue: 4 stars. It was streamed on two video websites with revenue sharing, with an overall return rate of over 200% and an absolute profit of over 2 million. Further development of related merchandise is possible.

Impact of the work: 5 stars. Although the total number of views on Sohu Video is only around 3 million, it is a phenomenal hit drama in North America, which has generated a great deal of discussion.

The phenomenal success of Stranger Things marks the success of Netflix's transformation and has also changed the competitive landscape between American streaming platforms and traditional television stations.

Overall rating: 4 stars, rewarding 2 excellent draw chances / 6 regular draw chances.

Shall we start the prize draw now?

The final episode of Stranger Things airs tonight on Sohu Video.

This drama has generated a lot of buzz in the country and its broadcast performance is excellent, but it can't be considered a huge hit.

However, it was very successful in North America, so the overall rating given by the system is still four stars.

Jiang Yifeng stood up and went into the private room's attached restroom.

He habitually washed his hands and then chose to enter the lottery.

[Congratulations, host! You have drawn the blue item "Beauty Potion".]

[Beauty potion: After taking it, it can appropriately enhance one's appearance and increase personal charm according to individual physical characteristics.]

Upon seeing the beauty potion, Jiang Yifeng remained calm.

Jing Tian has been having a lot of complaints lately.

Gao Yuanyuan, Nazha, and Liu Yifei all looked radiant.

From the perspective of Jiang Yifeng's harem, this means that the three of them received more "favor," and quantitative change led to qualitative change.

Jing Tian was naturally very uncomfortable, feeling that Jiang Yifeng was biased.

Now there's another bottle of beauty potion, perfect for making Jing Tian happy.

Jiang Yifeng didn't think much of it and continued drawing prizes.

Unexpectedly, a golden light suddenly appeared before my eyes!
Jiang Yifeng was overjoyed, thinking he had won the gold, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

[Congratulations, host! You have drawn a gold-tier main quest card.]

[Main Quest Card: Using this card will unlock the system's main quest.]

Upon seeing this information, Jiang Yifeng felt it was absurd.

This damn system crashed; it didn't give me any tasks at all.

Three and a half years later, a main quest card was suddenly drawn.

Having already drawn the card, Jiang Yifeng could only adjust his mood and choose to use the mission card.

[Congratulations, host. You have successfully started the system's main quest.]

[Main Mission 1: Groundbreaking directors always lead the innovation of film and television shooting technology. Please shoot the world's first film and television work with AI participation exceeding 50%, and generate widespread attention and discussion, leading the next round of innovation in film and television shooting technology.]

Reward: Advanced AI Model (Gold Item).

Upon seeing this main quest, Jiang Yifeng was somewhat surprised, yet felt that it made some sense.

The achievements of commercial film directors are mainly measured in two aspects: the box office performance of their films and their innovation in filming techniques.

George Lucas's Star Wars and James Cameron's Avatar are both representative of technological innovation in filmmaking and two insurmountable mountains in the history of commercial cinema.

Jiang Yifeng's system is named "Best Director System".

If Jiang Yifeng wants to become the best in commercial films, he must come up with corresponding technological innovations to establish his historical status.

In the future, AI will undoubtedly be the key to innovation in film and television technology.

It must be emphasized that using AI to shoot films and television dramas does not mean letting AI create directly, but rather using AI as a powerful auxiliary tool to efficiently and quickly complete repetitive and time-consuming tasks while enhancing visual effects.

For example, in the field of film and television special effects, traditional CGI is still the main method. If you want to generate a huge tiger, perfecting the details such as the fur is a huge workload and takes a long time.

With a good AI model, this task can be completed efficiently and quickly, and the visual effects can be further enhanced to make the tiger more realistic.

Currently, even a ten-minute special effects scene in a special effects movie requires a huge investment.

With AI assistance, costs could be significantly reduced, the entire film could be made with special effects, and even a complete world from the Classic of Mountains and Seas could be constructed. Of course, this also places higher demands on the director.

Directors need a stronger imagination, a more solid foundation in logic, and a richer knowledge base to construct a more perfect cinematic world.

In conclusion, the main quest given by the system is flawless. It can not only help Jiang Yifeng achieve honors and accomplishments, but also further improve his filming efficiency.

The problem is that Jiang Yifeng currently does not have a company or team to develop AI.

In 2012, the world's first convolutional neural network model, AlexNet, had just been released. Deep learning was just emerging, and the concept of AI-generated content was almost non-existent.

Only a few companies, such as Google, have established projects like Google Brain to conduct research and development related to artificial intelligence.

Moreover, in terms of hardware, GPU performance is limited, and computing power is also restricted.

It is highly unlikely that Jiang Yifeng will be able to use AI to create film and television dramas and complete the system's main tasks in a short period of time.

He can only make arrangements slowly.

Jiang Yifeng thought for a moment and decided to proceed in two steps.

The first step is to establish an AI R&D team based on the monster effects company, continuously invest in R&D, and see if there are any results.
If there are any results, then first put together a short drama of decent quality, hype it up, and attract attention;

If there are no results, then Jiang Yifeng will wait ten years until other companies develop their own solutions, and then use the relevant software to produce films and television dramas.

Anyway, the reward for the main quest is an advanced AI model.

Once the task is completed and the reward is received, the company team's previous research and development will finally bear fruit.

But this made Jiang Yifeng feel that he was "short of money".

Investment in the AI ​​field is substantial, with billions of dollars easily burned through.

"Old Jiang, the finals have already started, are you alright?"

Jiang Yifeng was pondering his next plan when he heard Liu Yifei's voice.

Before he knew it, he had been in the bathroom for almost 20 minutes.

"It's okay, I'll be right out."

After Jiang Yifeng left the restroom, he discovered that Wang Sicong was gone.

Liu Yifei explained, "Xiao Wang left. He said he didn't want to be a third wheel."

After saying this, Liu Yifei even stuck her head into the bathroom to take a look.

Jiang Yifeng asked, "What are you looking for?"

"I'm checking to see if there are any women. Don't I know your body? You're so healthy, how come you take so long to go to the toilet? You must be doing something sneaky in there."

Finding no one, Liu Yifei found it strange and even called out, "Changchang, come out, I know it's you!"

Seeing no response, she called out again, "Nazha! Is that you? Or is it Sister Yuanyuan?"

Jiang Yifeng: "..."

This can't be blamed on Liu Yifei; it's mainly because Jiang Yifeng always likes to play sneaky games.

Sometimes they would even deliberately tie Liu Yifei to a chair to create various plot environments.

Everyone here is a professional actor, and they get very into their roles, making these games very engaging.

Liu Yifei thought Jiang Yifeng was up to his old tricks again, and that Shu Chang or the other girls had hidden in the bathroom beforehand.

Snapped!
Jiang Yifeng slapped Liu Yifei on the buttocks.

This time, I used a bit of force, and the sound was very loud.

Liu Yifei let out a soft cry and immediately fell silent, her eyes becoming much more moist.

On the big screen at the venue, the DOTA finals have begun, and the battle horns have sounded.

Jiang Yifeng watched the match while simultaneously engaging in his own battle, enjoying double the fun.

With assistants and bodyguards guarding the outside, he felt quite at ease.

……

Wang Sicong's ambition has indeed been ignited.

The next morning, he found a senior executive at Panda TV and handed over the task of "selecting female anchors to participate in Produce 101".

Two days later, the executives presented Wang Sicong with a list of names, which Wang Sicong shook his head at.

A large number of the female anchors on Panda TV were recruited from places like YY Show.

Many of them found new jobs after losing their jobs in Dongguan.

Not only do they have a strong sense of worldliness, but without the help of beauty filters, very few of them are particularly outstanding in appearance.

Although Wang Sicong has many flaws, he is at least quite good at judging the aesthetics of internet celebrities.

Moreover, Jiang Yifeng made it clear that he wanted a young, respectable man.

He looked through the information of all the female anchors in the company, and then he saw a female anchor who was only 14 years old and quite pretty.

Although she's not the kind of person who's stunning at first glance, she's very pleasing to the eye and grows on you the more you look at her; she's definitely a pretty girl.

Wang Sicong asked, "Does our company have female anchors this young?"

The executive replied, "The live streaming contract was signed by the guardian, and the live streaming content was just playing games, without any inappropriate guidance."

Wang Sicong nodded, opened Panda TV, and clicked into the female streamer's live stream room.

I saw this female streamer playing League of Legends, but her skills were terrible; she got solo killed in the mid lane.

"Waaaaah~ I'm so bad! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry everyone!"

After being solo killed, the female streamer started crying.

The crying scene was very natural; it would make a simp feel sorry for the viewer, and a funny person would find it hilarious.

Soon, a guy gifted a plane.

Wang Sicong's eyes lit up; he thought this young streamer named Yang Chaoyue was quite interesting and worth nurturing.
