Chapter 170 Magic Animation

This winter, Jiangning had a rare heavy snowfall. The deepest snow was even half a meter thick.

I have to stay at home when it snows.

Taking into account the commuting problems of some employees, Chen Ba did not require everyone to come to the studio to work, and working at home is also acceptable.

Anyway, after the launch of "Don't Leave After School: Marble Storm", Tianba Studio has nothing serious to do except routine server maintenance.

If anything, the collaboration between McDonald's and "The Drive" should be considered a big deal.

【Eat spicy chicken legs, play extreme speed racing, and spend a warm winter! 】

The McDonald's is still very powerful. The overwhelming online and offline advertising coverage has let everyone know that they have reached a joint cooperation with "Ford".

As for the effect...

It’s a shame to say that the players of Tianba Game are still not as good as the players of some two-dimensional games. At least in this kind of joint activities, the players’ enthusiasm is obviously insufficient.

This directly led to the fact that although the Grand Arches promoted their product very hard, they failed to sell many copies of their main "Ford" combo, which made Chen Ba quite embarrassed.

Don’t!

What are you guys doing? Why don't you come and show your support? If the results of this cooperation are too poor, who will come to Tianba Studio to discuss a joint venture in the future? Chen Ba couldn't be in a hurry.

It's rare for a big brand to be willing to co-promote their games. If the results are too bad, it will probably be difficult to have similar cooperation in the future.

In order to enhance the value of this joint cooperation, Chen Ba specially started a live broadcast on the official websites of Pili Pili and Tianba, showing off two "Fast and Furious" passionate meal packages in front of a crowd of fans! He sacrificed his appearance and personally did a food broadcast, which still attracted a lot of attention. At least the players were very excited to watch it and said they would order takeout to try it.

certainly!

Everyone is obviously more interested in Brother Ba than the so-called fried chicken and burgers.

In other words, everyone only sees Chen Ba as a person. As for what he ate? McDonald's? Speed ​​​​and Passion Combo? Sorry, I'm not familiar with it! Many of the viewers who watched Chen Ba's live broadcast are old players of Tianba Games. The content they discussed in the live broadcast room also revolves around the game.

"Family, this is a live broadcast of the McDonald's. Can we talk about fried chicken and burgers instead of games?"

Chen Ba tried to change the subject, so he picked up the hamburger on the table and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Everyone, pay attention. I will show you how to eat a hamburger in three bites..."

Crunch!

What kind of lettuce? Why does it taste like pickles? Chen Ba, who almost choked to death on his burger, quickly drank a sip of water and looked at the comments in the live broadcast room.

"Oh, yes, yes, this is the 'Extreme Speed ​​Passion Meal' that we launched in collaboration with McDonald's..."

“Available in all major stores nationwide!”

"The magic animation has been released?"

Chen Ba accidentally caught a glimpse of a barrage of comments and no longer wanted to continue selling hamburgers. He picked up his phone and started searching for relevant information.

It's true! The comments didn't lie to him. Tencent has just released a test booking link for its professional AI animation production software "Magic Animation", which imitates "Shennong Continent".

Chen Ba clicked on it.

Testing qualifications require an appointment and filling in your mobile phone number and real-name authentication information before you can obtain testing qualifications for this software.

Chen Ba turned off the live broadcast and made an appointment for the test using Xiao Lu's phone number and information.

Download the software, install and run!

Because it is a pre-order test and has not yet been officially launched, the "Magic Animation" software is now in a "limited time free" state.

"Does that mean there will be a fee later?"

Chen Ba smiled. He didn’t know what the charging standard of this software was, but since it was comparable to the professional version of “Divine Grace Continent”, it must be expensive.

So here comes the question!

Can this software support the charging standards and reach the level of the professional version of "Shennonglu"?

With a hint of curiosity, Chen Ba entered the software.

"Magic Animation" is said to be a software, but it is actually a game, just with many background setting windows and adjustment tools added.

Perhaps to avoid suspicion, or perhaps because they don't want to compete head-on with "Shennonglu", the themes available for selection in this software are actually urban romance.

"Click Generate, and the software will automatically generate the story background and characters for you. You can move the camera to switch and lock the perspective..."

Following the software's prompts, Chen Ba quickly learned how to use it.

The process is the same as in "Shennonglu", one-click operation, and fool-proof animation generation.

You can input preset scripts and lines, but after Chen Ba tried it, he found that this was not very easy to use because the preset script did not match the actual generated images at all.

Then give up the preset script, choose random generation, and let AI play freely! Chen Ba set up a relatively good template for the protagonist, with both parents dead, excellent grades, and handsome appearance...

Then click Generate Animation!

The AI ​​started to work. New scenes and characters suddenly appeared on the originally empty main page, and then these characters began to interact with each other.

Most importantly…

The male protagonist designed by Chen Ba actually started to act freely without any operation.

"Hey, that's not bad!"

When Chen Ba saw this, he couldn't help but sigh that Tencent is worthy of being Tencent. Although it is criticized, it still has a foundation and it is done quite well.

But having said that.

Simply allowing the character to act freely is not enough. The key is whether the character's actions are reasonable. If there are any abnormal or unreasonable behaviors, that would not be good.

…

Chen Ba is 17 years old this year.

He lost both his parents when he was young and grew up eating at many people's homes. He studied at Shenyue City No. 1 Middle School and was an excellent student in the eyes of his teachers and classmates.

One day, a new transfer student named Li Yuling came to our class.

Li Yuling has a sweet appearance and comes from a wealthy family. She is a true white, rich and beautiful woman. She captured the hearts of all the boys in the class as soon as she arrived and became a recognized goddess.

Chen Ba was also attracted by Li Yuling's beauty, so he began a crazy pursuit.

In order to pursue Li Yuling, Chen Ba bought her many gifts, including beautiful clothes and dazzling jewelry...

Under his crazy pursuit, Li Yuling was moved and agreed to his confession, and the two became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Chen Ba wanted to be with her forever and even revealed his plan to get married, but this idea scared Li Yuling, so she began to deliberately avoid Chen Ba.

Chen Ba felt frustrated and confused. He didn't know what he had said wrong.

"Why are you hiding from me?"

Until one afternoon, Chen Ba blocked Li Yuling at the stairs and asked her why she was hiding from him.

"I'm sorry! But we really aren't meant to be together..."

Li Yuling still wanted to escape, but Chen Ba did not give her the opportunity. He trapped her in the corner with a wall-dong and forced her to tell the truth.

Li Yuling had no choice but to tell the truth.

It turns out that the fair, wealthy and beautiful Li Yuling that everyone has always thought of is actually a boy! Chen Ba in front of the screen: "..."

In order to better study the products of competitors, he specially called Xiao Lu, Zhong Shengwei and others to watch together.

Originally, I thought that there is strength in numbers, and with so many people watching, they would definitely be able to analyze the pros and cons of the "Magic Animation" software, and whether it would pose a threat to "Divine Grace Continent".

But now, he regrets it.

If he had known that "Magic Animation" was such an abstract thing, he should not have taken it so seriously, and he should not have called everyone to watch it together.

Now, naming the character "Chen Ba" is definitely the stupidest thing ever, no doubt about it!

“Hahaha…”

Xiao Lu was the first to lose his temper. Seeing Brother Ba pressing the pause button, he couldn't help but complain: "Don't pause, Brother Ba, keep generating. I haven't seen enough yet!"

"Yes, yes!"

Zhong Shengwei also followed suit and said, "Didn't you ask us to come here to study? Why are you stopping us halfway through?"

“This software is amazing!”

"I feel that the intelligence of this AI is not inferior to our "Shennong Continent". It is worth paying attention to and learning from!"

Xiao Lu said seriously: "Brother Ba, don't get me wrong. We don't mean to make fun of you. We just think this software is very powerful, so we want to continue learning it."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Having said that, without waiting for Chen Ba to answer, Xiao Lu grabbed the mouse and clicked to continue generating the animation.

The story continues.

Chen Ba, who learned that his girlfriend was actually her boyfriend, was not angry or furious. Instead, he rubbed Li Yuling's head and comforted her: "I thought it was a big deal!"

"Little fool, I like you. It has nothing to do with whether you are a man or a woman. Even if you are a pig, I will continue to love you!"

Oh! As soon as these words came out, the whole studio was instantly boiling.

Especially Xiao Lu, whose face was almost pressed against the computer screen, with admiration written all over his face: "This software is really good!"

"Indeed, it's amazing!"

"I think the AI ​​level that destroyed "Divine Grace Continent" is simply too terrifying..."

Zhong Shengwei and Xiao Lu's words echoed each other, making Chen Ba's face turn pale.

He never dreamed that the "Magic Animation" that Tencent finally imitated would be such an abstract product.

Is this a plot that a human could come up with? Who tuned the AI ​​model? Can he come out and apologize as soon as possible? He felt that his intelligence had been insulted and his innocence had been tarnished.

"No more watching, no more watching!"

Chen Ba wanted to stop this farce to avoid being laughed at by Xiao Lu and others, but the others disagreed and insisted on finishing the story.

Just watch it!

Chen Ba has become numb to the drama of his girlfriend becoming his boyfriend, and he is actually very curious about what will happen next.

What else can this broken AI do?

With curiosity, he continued reading...

In the story, Chen Ba and Li Yuling reconciled, and the fact that they were dating was also known to Li Yuling's parents.

Because Chen Ba was a poor boy, Li Yuling's parents did not agree to let him contact their son unless he could earn 10 million yuan with his own ability.

Oh? A new story line? No one expected that this AI could do this. It immediately started a new story line after the previous one ended.

There seems to be something...

Just when everyone was curious about how the story would unfold and how the hero Chen Ba would fulfill the conditions of Li Yuling's father, the hero's next move made everyone stunned.

On the screen, the male protagonist Chen Ba kidnapped Li Yuling.

That’s right!

This Li Yuling is exactly that Li Yuling!

By kidnapping Li Yuling and extorting 10 million in cash from Li's father, he then took the money and gave it to Li's father, gaining his approval...

"What kind of retarded AI?"

Xiao Lu was completely stunned at this moment, rolling his eyes and said, "Is it because of too many deductions that the AI ​​crashed?"

“That’s about right!”

Chen Ba touched his chin and said, "It's not a crash. It's probably because the AI's database is incomplete and it's missing the necessary materials when encountering certain specific situations."

The logic is easy to understand.

When the plot reaches the point where "the hero urgently needs 10 million in cash", the AI ​​has no relevant reserve data, so it searches the Internet for "how to quickly get 10 million in cash?"

The search results must be inappropriate answers, but AI cannot distinguish between appropriate and inappropriate answers, so it was adopted.

Based on this result, the plot was further deduced, and the result was the incredible scene before our eyes.

To put it bluntly! This "Magic Animation" does have its merits, but it is not as magical as it is hyped up to be, let alone comparable to "Shennong Continent".

"It's okay to kill time and make silly animations, but it's still far from being a serious productivity tool..."

Chen Ba gave his own comments.

Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei strongly agreed that judging from the current test results, "Magic Animation" is indeed not very useful.

The AI ​​is too stupid and mechanical.

This also leads to the fact that the animations deduced by AI are full of bugs and loopholes. Kidnapping a girlfriend is already a piece of cake, and there are even outrageous situations like "I cheated on myself".

“It shouldn’t be set up as a modern city!”

Chen Ba sighed and said, "In the context of modern cities, there are too many restrictions and constraints, which can easily lead to logical problems and plot holes."

How nice it would be to create an imaginary alternate world!

Anyway, you have the final say on the settings of the other world. Even if there are some loopholes or bugs, AI can make up for them.

The modern urban background is too familiar to the audience.

In this context, the animation deduced by AI is full of loopholes and unbearable to watch. It is ten thousand times more ridiculous than the silly animation! But if it is changed to another world, it will be different...

This is also the reason why the NPC behavior logic in "Divine Grace Continent" is so normal.

Doesn't "Shennong Continent" have this kind of problem? Of course it does!

For example, an NPC may be sick and dying, but he suddenly appears on another map, full of energy and healthier than ordinary people.

Small omissions like this often happen in "The Continent of Divine Grace".

However, because the story is set in a different world and involves elements such as swords and magic, it always comes together in the end.

The NPC was clearly about to die, but he recovered after changing the map?

Don't be surprised! This was done by the Templar Mage. He received the Holy Light blessing from the Templar Mage, and his illness was cleared, so this happened.

Isn’t it reasonable?

But if it is set in a modern urban setting, how can we make up for this situation? Rely on the so-called Taiyi magic needle?
