The current situation is that the authorities say those disaster relief equipment are props, but netizens just don't believe it.
This cannot be blamed on them. The main reason is that they can barely believe you when you say that the underwater life-saving robot is a prop. After all, although it is called a life-saving robot, it does not actually have a human form. It just looks like a square yellow box, which is somewhat similar to the underwater life-saving people on the market.
——It just looks too cool.
But the robot dog and the work vehicle with a large robotic arm don’t look like “props” that could be created by a film crew.
The main thing is that they clearly participated in the disaster relief operations.
Even "The Cultivator", which is famous for its realistic props, is only realistic in appearance. There is no real dragon flying or elf opening the sect's protective shield.
Although this example is a bit outrageous, it also indirectly shows that everyone feels that the official response is even more outrageous.
The officials were also helpless and could only explain in detail in a serious and rigid tone.
"To ensure the best viewing experience, the crew of "Star Wars" conducted scientific research cooperation with C University students..."
The official crew of "Star Wars" also stood up at this moment, releasing these "future products" on the set, as well as some photos of the main actors wearing daily clothes, with the caption:
[It’s really a prop. 】
Netizens: “…”
Sheng Quan's previous scientific research cooperation with University Student C was praised by the central government at the time, and was reported by both entertainment media and more official media.
But at that time, although everyone praised it, they never thought that it would actually produce results.
[These look like high-tech things that came from the future. You told me that a group of college students made them in a year? ? ]
[To be honest, I don’t really believe it. If it were a more experienced instructor, I might believe it a little bit.]
[Fuck, no matter if it's true or not, I believe it anyway. It doesn't matter if you watch the movie or not! The point is! Are there going to be peripheral products?! ]
[That mechanical dog is really cool, and it looks very flexible. Was it really made by a student? ]
[I remember, I remember, it was invested by me, Director Sheng. It seems that because of this incident, the students of C University have always called her senior sister.]
Someone opened his mind:
[Is there a possibility, I mean, just a possibility, that our country has actually developed high-tech like mechanical dogs, but it is still in the confidential stage. However, the flood in Lucheng was so serious that they had to use them for faster disaster relief. As a result, it has been exposed now. It just so happens that the entire crew of "Star Wars" is also doing disaster relief, and it is a science fiction movie, so they are blamed. It's just a guess. If I'm wrong, please don't criticize me (eating melons)]
This speculation was directly pushed to the top of the list, and the number of replies exceeded three thousand within one day.
[Don’t mention it, some scientific research projects are really kept confidential. Some need to be kept confidential while they are in progress, and some research will also be kept confidential after it is completed.] This is just speculation.
[It's true, our technology has actually entered the future era, but the country doesn't want to scare us so it won't announce it. But now I'm ready, come on! Use high technology to shock me! ] This is a joke.
[To be honest, these robot dogs and cars really look like something from an interstellar movie. Maybe they are just props. After all, it is impossible for us to jump from current technology to the interstellar era all at once, right?] This is something I have seriously considered.
[Ha! I think your guesses are all wrong. I tend to think that these "props" are all alien technology. Yes, I think our Blue Planet has successfully established diplomatic relations with aliens! This "accidental leak" is actually part of the plan, just to make us accept it step by step.] It is impossible to tell whether this is a serious analysis or a joke.
Maybe all marketing accounts and entertainment media in the world are the same. After this video became popular, foreign entertainment media quickly reposted it online, and there was no official explanation of the "prop theory".
So, what was presented to foreign netizens was a number of "obvious future creations" that appeared in a place where people were coming and going, tents were set up in the back, and soldiers in military uniforms were busy working.
The tall and mighty black mechanical dog with a metal "skeleton" walked forward at a moderate pace. A shorter girl (a crew member) happened to pass by it, which made it look even more "huge", and the size difference was maximized.
Just like the initial reaction of Chinese netizens, foreign netizens who saw the video were also shocked.
【What is this? Is it real? ? 】
[Those people are speaking Chinese, the background should be Chinese]
[Is this a special effect? It looks so real]
[That car looks a bit like it has an exoskeleton on the outside. Oh my god, it's so cool. What is it used for? It looks like a special vehicle]
[Has China's technology reached the point where it can use mechanical dogs? Can they obey commands? Will they bite people? ]
If "cultivation" has only recently become popular in countries around the world because of "The Cultivator", then "high technology" can be said to be of interest to anyone who is keen on surfing the Internet.
Just like Sheng Quan, although life is already very good with the current level of technology, who wouldn’t want to live a better and more convenient life if possible?
For example, in this video, few people asked in-depth questions about those cars with robotic arms, some huge and some small, which obviously have special uses.
Netizens are basically asking about the mechanical dog.
Because it looks so cool and can obviously help carry heavy objects. Even because of its huge size, some people have come up with the genius idea of "Can you ride on it? Just like riding a horse."
After expressing the comment “It’s so cool, I hope it’s true, but it probably isn’t,” these foreign netizens were quickly “refuted” by Chinese netizens.
These high-tech creations that look like they were photoshopped with special effects are actually real. Moreover, they come from a Chinese film crew and are their filming props.
The same thing happened, and foreign netizens also expressed shock and disbelief.
They clearly saw the Chinese soldiers.
Isn't this a place like a secret scientific research base?
Otherwise, why would we need soldiers to guard it?
Then someone explained:
[Chinese soldiers are not only used to fight wars, they will also be dispatched to rescue people when major disasters occur]
[Their military and police are highly respected by the Chinese people because they are always at the forefront whenever difficulties arise]
A Chinese netizen shared the official statement:
[These high-tech machines appeared there because the crew was filming in the surrounding cities. After the flood, they put down the filming and participated in the disaster relief.]
Even in different countries, after seeing the news photos and translated descriptions, the "Star Wars" crew received unanimous high praise from everyone.
【Good job】
[Such crews are worth supporting. Will their films be shown in our country? ]
[People are excited]
Of course, among these high reviews, some people also don’t quite believe that these could actually be movie props.
If they first appeared in a movie, everyone would naturally believe it, but they first appeared at a disaster relief site and played a huge role. How can people believe that they are really props?
At this time, professionals appeared one after another.
After they appeared on stage, the atmosphere became academic. Maybe they were just good at talking, or maybe they were really awesome big shots in real life, and they used videos to analyze things using all kinds of professional terms and angles that netizens could never imagine.
Finally, the conclusion is: [These products do require high technology, but in the scientific research community, they are not impossible to achieve with current scientific research. There are more than a dozen teams around the world that are researching similar projects, but basically none of them have produced results or only have semi-finished products.]
[Also, I don’t know if you have noticed that the “Star Wars” crew referred to them as semi-finished products. In other words, the real finished products are more complete and stable than the ones shown to you now.]
[I agree with the 233rd floor. Although it is a semi-finished product, since the semi-finished product has appeared and can be filmed, the finished product must not be far away. I am just curious. Although a year is a long time, it is nothing for a scientific research project. How much money did Shengquan invest to produce so many results in such a short time? ? ]
What a great question.
Sheng Quan, who was drinking yogurt and reading comments at the same time, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the post on #238.
The boss's guess was correct. The project could progress so quickly, not only because those students were indeed talented, but also because she had been spending money like crazy.
Over the past year, she has invested all the investment funds provided by the basic system into these projects.
The big leaders are Professor Chen Aihong, Gu Shuyue and Ning Zhou.
The remaining small part was also divided up by those small projects.
God knows how many times she wanted to shout out during this period: Scientific research is really expensive! ! ! Every time a small achievement appears, a problem is encountered, or a bigger progress is made, no matter what these represent in scientific research, in terms of finance, it means another crazy investment of money.
You think that the money you originally invested is enough, but when there is a big progress or there is further hope, you will suddenly find that it requires even more amount.
In other words, Sheng Quan's investments were all made using her personal account. If she had used the company's accounts, the company's top management would definitely think she was crazy.
At this time, Sheng Quan's insistence on creating his own money-making channel without going through the system came in handy.
Xingmang Entertainment has entered the profit-making stage a long time ago. Although the company's cash flow is very frequent, the TV series and movies previously invested in are also constantly generating revenue for the company.
In addition, as the artists under the company have gradually become famous, the profits generated can not only maintain the company's development smoothly, but also free up funds to be allocated to subsidiaries.
The revenue share from "The Cultivator" accounted for the largest share, plus the tickets to the ten great immortal palaces, which allowed Sheng Quan, who had always invested all the money given by the system into various scientific research projects, to maintain a relatively financially stable state.
But after experiencing this flood relief work, Ms. Sheng had to face a dilemma: she was poor again.
The poor here means that she only has a few hundred thousand yuan left in liquid funds.
Although Sheng Quan felt that it was all worth it, it did not affect her from having a happy and lazy life for more than a year, and she wanted to make money again.
We cannot rely on the scientific research project for the time being. Although the current results are already very shocking, it is not a good time to disclose the researchers behind the scenes.
The best effect can only be achieved after the release of "War of the Worlds" and an unprecedented huge hit.
"War of the Stars" won't be released in theaters until three months at the earliest.
Moreover, Sheng Quan's old habit came back again. When the previous "big investment project" was not yet completed, if she was faced with a new investment option, she always wanted perfection and it would be best if the two could be linked.
Sheng Quan casually read the comments, watching various experts in the comments calculate the amount of her investment in scientific research, while occasionally looking at the TV series broadcast on the TV in front of her.
Whenever she is undecided, she likes to watch some old TV series she has never seen, and occasionally she can find some inspiration from them.
Of course, while doing the above things, there was a plate of healthy and delicious dried fruits in front of Mr. Sheng.
How can you watch TV series without eating snacks? Sheng Quan loves to do that anyway.
After watching the TV series so happily and decadently for two days, Sheng Quan suddenly discovered that the trend on the Internet, which was originally just shouting "6666" and "wait for the movie to be released to see whether it is true or not", has changed.
The cause was that a relatively authoritative media in Country K evaluated the three high-tech products that appeared at the disaster relief site in an unquestionable tone.
The content of this review...how should I put it? It's clearly a compliment, but it feels weird.
"It can be seen that the scientific research team that created them spent a lot of time and energy on the gorgeous appearance, which made these products, which took only one year to make, popular among the public."
"From this perspective, these beautiful props of China really play the role they should play. As long as they stand there, they don't have to do anything and they will naturally win applause."
In order to support the above point of view, they also found the head of a well-known scientific research institution in Country K.
The other party talked a lot, using seemingly rigorous, gentle and fair sentences. On the surface, he was praising, but in fact, every sentence was explicitly implying that these high-tech technologies that have recently "become popular in the global technology circle" are nothing great.
Sheng Quan didn’t know what netizens in other countries thought, but public opinion in China changed instantly after this video interview appeared.
[Yes, everyone, there is no need to be so happy. The crew has already said that it is just a prop. If we are so excited, others will think that we Chinese have never seen the world.]
[Am I the only one who knows that Country K already has transport-type mechanical dogs? They were put into use two years ago. We are two years behind and we are still acting so awesome. It's really embarrassing.]
Some netizens commented in confusion: [Aren’t we all saying that it’s awesome that movie props are so realistic? It seems that few people have boasted about our country’s technological prowess before? ? ]
But there were too many negative comments on the blockbuster, which quickly overwhelmed this netizen's comment. She tried to post it twice more, but it was suppressed each time, so she finally gave up.
Sheng Quan flipped through it and basically understood what was going on.
She was not angry, and even found it a little novel.
"The navy has joined."
She turned on the speakerphone of her phone and read through the comments while talking to Gu Zhao: "It is likely that those semi-finished products that appeared have touched someone's cake."
Gu Zhao also agreed: "I'll have someone check it out right away."
"No, I can just ask Teacher Chen about scientific research. Ah, she replied. It should be KIO Company in Country K. Tsk, they are also in the field of guide dogs. They are really perceptive."
If Sheng Quan hadn't done the promotion work, she might have been angry too.
But, she did.
A one-sided situation like this could certainly be true, but when the wind direction changes overnight and a large number of "netizens" suddenly appear and say the same thing but different things, there is probably someone behind this.
Moreover, the reason why the other party is causing trouble must involve interests.
It costs a lot of money to create the current situation. Not to mention anything else, just hiring water army is a huge amount.
In addition, they have to bribe scientific research institutions in various countries to say what they want to hear, and pay the media writing fees, etc.
"What a generous investment." Sheng Quan, who is currently in poverty, is a little envious: "With this money, they can develop new products. Why should they spend it on their competitors?"
Like Sheng Quan, Gu Zhao's mood swings did not change because of this incident. Oh, no, there were changes.
He looked at the computer screen in front of him, his light grey eyes filled with more ambition than usual.
“You’re right, this is a great opportunity.”
When Sheng Quan was in school, there was a period of time when she liked to read novels in which the male protagonist was a domineering president. At that time, she didn't know that the most powerful person in the company was not the domineering president, but the chairman.
As for why all authors choose to write about president rather than chairman, she thinks it may be because president sounds more pleasant and high-end.
In those novels, there are always various business wars. The young Sheng Quan was so excited and excited when reading them that he even wanted the seals to clap their hands.
When she grew up and started working, she found that most companies did not have business wars, and even if there were, everyone was very straightforward.
She still remembers the ridiculous news she saw in her previous life.
The boss of a company hired a corporate spy to deal with his rival: the spy was a security guard who secretly unplugged the company's power every night.
Of course, this is just an isolated case. The vicious competition between companies is more like this: Your product is better than mine? Then I will blackmail you and make others think that your product is not worth buying.
This is a war of public opinion.
Although it is very low-end, it is very effective. There are really companies that go bankrupt because their competitors released similar black materials.
As for KIO, judging from the relevant news found so far, there have been similar technology companies in Country K in the past, but all of them were exposed to various negative news within no more than two years, and in the end they were all acquired by KIO.
"They are reaping the benefits of the propaganda war, and it has even reached us across the border."
After reading the news, Sheng Quan had a general understanding of Kio.
Kio may not think that those half-finished mechanical dogs will be a threat to them. It is more likely that they are just jealous of their existing fame.
After all, they first appeared during the flood in Lucheng, China. When people all over the country were still paying attention to this incident, they became popular on the foreign Internet soon after.
KIO is about to launch a new product, and it seems that their first way to promote the new product is to step on China's mechanical dog, take away its existing fame, and create their own mechanical dog.
Gu Zhao: "They are very good at creating momentum. Although the scale is not very large, they have always been well-known internationally."
Sheng Quan asked him, "Are you jealous of their fame?"
Gu Zhao answered honestly: "Greedy."
Sheng Quan smiled: "Then let's be greedy for a while, after a while, their fame will be ours."
"I still can't understand. Before they decided to launch a media campaign, didn't they check what I do?"
Mr. Sheng ate a piece of dried fruit and couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Our Xingmang Entertainment is an entertainment company."
**** The international wind direction indeed changed quickly.
The Chinese mechanical dog, which was popular for a while, was soon deemed "technically immature" by professional organizations in various countries.
Of course, this is understandable. After all, these mechanical dogs were originally developed as props for filming movies, and the developers are said to be a team of college students. It is already very good to be able to achieve this.
All I can say is that it's good as a prop, but it's been exaggerated too much.
They spoke in a very sophisticated way and did not disparage the mechanical dog of the "Star Wars" crew. Instead, they used it as a raft, saying that it was "only suitable as a prop, but the public praised it as magical."
When the depreciation is almost over, it is time to bring out KIO’s new guide robot dog.
The line of speech is roughly: The Chinese mechanical dog that you longed to buy before was too weak, but it doesn’t matter, now there is a KIO guide mechanical dog that can be used as a guide and as a mechanical pet. It is even more powerful than you imagined before.
Moreover, it has passed the [Robot Design] test of an internationally renowned scientific research institution. From level one to level six, the KIO guide robot scored a high score of 4.2.
This scientific research institution is too authoritative, and every test is open and fair, the testing process is rigorous, and every piece of data will be compared repeatedly. Their testing fees are high, but at the same time, it also means that they cannot be bribed.
Because once there is a problem with a tested scientific research result, this institution, which has been established for nearly a hundred years and has a huge international reputation, will collapse instantly.
Therefore, it is impossible for them to cheat no matter who tries, and out of caution, their scores will be scored very carefully, basically using test data, with only 2% human involvement.
In the robot performance, 3.5 is a passing score, and 4.2 is already a very high and very good score.
The previous high record was 4.1.
This proves that KIO's guide robot dog can be regarded as top-notch in the world.
Everything went smoothly.
After spending a lot of money on promotion, KIO successfully deprived the Chinese mechanical dog of its fame, and based on that huge fame, it frantically marketed its own products.
The fame of the KIO guide robot dog snowballed and finally, after getting a high score of 4.2 in the test, it became famous all over the world.
Sheng Quan, who had remained silent all the time, finally made a move.
Sheng Quan: The movie props have finally been made into a real product. As you guessed it, the product is a mechanical guide dog. I took some time to take it for a test, and it scored 5.3 points.
[Picture scoring table] [Picture of cool mechanical dog]
As soon as the Weibo post was released, the artists under Star Entertainment took action instantly.
Reposted by Yan Hui who is competing for the annual award with great hopes.
This was reposted by Lin Aike, the heroine of the current hit TV series.
Hua Qing, who won the title of Best Actress and has many true fans, reposted the post.
Jinjiu, which has numerous fans and has just finished a very popular concert, reposted this post.
The internationally renowned overnight sensation Kang Jin, who has countless foreign fans, retweeted the post.
After directing "The Cultivator", Xu Man instantly became a famous director and people wanted to invest in his film wherever he went.
All the artists under Star Entertainment, no matter how famous they are, will repost it.
In today's entertainment industry, who doesn't give Sheng Quan some face?
Soon, popular young actresses reposted it, well-known veteran actors reposted it, and well-known screenwriters and directors reposted it.
The boss of an entertainment company forwarded it, and soon, all the artists under the entertainment company, famous or not, forwarded it one after another.
Sheng Quan didn't just post on Weibo. International netizens all have a frequently used account. As a 10g surfer, how could she not have one?
Don't forget the star-studded dinner.
The Starry Night Dinner not only helped Sheng Quan gain more connections, but also made more people want to become her connections. Not to mention her financial resources which are admirable in any country, just talking about this year's dinner, many people wanted to attend.
At a time like this when you can show your face with just a little click of your hands, no one will find it troublesome.
Extranet:
Reposted by a famous actor from country A.
Retweeted by internationally renowned singer.
c country's top actress retweeted.
Reposted by the popular boy band from country B.
KIO company was extremely anxious, but could only watch these stars repost the message one after another.
Too many, really too many.
As celebrities forwarded the message, fans from all over the world also saw the new news.
--boom!
Everyone was instantly excited.
In the past, they might not have known anything about guide dogs, but didn’t KIO just market them? People who were not interested in these things before have become interested after a long period of marketing.
Their first reaction was: the previous score of 4.2 was so impressive, it felt like experts all over the world were saying it was a miracle.
Then 5.3! Isn't it even more amazing! ! China actually has such technology! ! Check it out! You must check it out!
In a very short period of time, all the expected buyers of the KIO guide robot switched to China's "movie props".
KIO is in chaos, but it can only be in chaos.
At this moment, everything they do is ineffective, and the identities and status of the deprived and the deprived are reversed.
It took more than three months of hard work to create this situation, as well as the huge fame taken away from the Chinese mechanical dog.
Only seven hours.
All was paid back a hundredfold and a thousandfold.
