Analog company starts with technology

"This is our Mr. Niu. Although he looks relatively young, he is very capable."

Wu Mengqi came to the villa under the leadership of Li Chao. It was the first time she met the founder of Xingyuan Technology, who was very popular on Bip Station some time ago. She seemed a little nervous and reserved.

Facing Li Chao's introduction, he quickly said hello: "Hello, Mr. Niu!"

Wu Mengqi was sitting in front of the computer drawing pictures as usual when she suddenly received a voice call from Li Chao.

At first she thought there was something wrong with the manuscript and that there might be something that needed to be revised, but she never expected that Li Chao called and invited her to be a motion capture actor for the avatar.

Thinking that he was doing motion capture for the image he designed, and he lived in Jingzhou City, and could still get a certain amount of compensation, he finally chose to agree.

I asked Li Chao for his address and took a taxi directly.

at the same time.

Li Chao also quickly introduced Niu Geng to him.

"Mr. Niu, she is the original artist who designed the image of Xing Ling. We are short of manpower, so we called her over to be a motion capture actor."

For two older boys, Li Chao and Guo Hongtao, they heartily refused to put on motion capture equipment and do some difficult movements.

It just happened that the last time he asked Wu Mengqi to make an appointment, Li Chao happened to see her photo. Her image was pretty good, and she had a background in dancing, so it was perfect to recruit a motion capture actor to be Xing Ling.

Besides, since we want to increase Xingling's popularity, it's obviously not possible to rely on just one video.

There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Hearing this, Niu Geng raised his gaze and looked at Wu Mengqi, nodded and praised: "It turns out that you designed that image. It's very good."

"Thanks."

Wu Mengqi looked a little shy and responded in a low voice before quickly following Li Chao to the basement.

…

Xing Ling's virtual video must be sent to Beep, so Lu Xiu and the others first found some recently popular dance moves and asked Wu Mengqi to learn and dance them out.

Fortunately, Wu Mengqi usually visits Beep.com and is fairly clear about some of the contents.

With good coordination of the body, it didn't take much time to start capturing the movements.

During this period, Niu Geng also came over to watch for a while to satisfy his curiosity.

After all, he had only seen these specific operating procedures in videos before, and he had never had the opportunity to put himself in their shoes like now.

evening.

Because Wu Mengqi had completed the task and it was already close to dinner time. Finally, at the strong request of Li Chao, Qin Xiaoman and others, she agreed to stay for dinner before going back.

Speaking of which, Wu Mengqi prefers this kind of working atmosphere. Although there are not many people there, it feels like home.

Unlike the workplace life in those big companies, there is intrigue and intrigue everywhere.

"How about Meng Qi? The food in our company is good, right?"

“Much better than the takeout I ordered.”

At the dinner table, Wu Mengqi faced Li Chao's question and answered vaguely while chewing the food in her mouth.

At this moment, Niu Geng, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly said: "I wonder if you are interested in working in our company?"

work?

Wu Mengqi, who was eating braised pork, was stunned when she heard these words: "Am I being interviewed?"

Niu Geng took the initiative to invite Wu Mengqi to work in the company, and it was not just a sudden move.

It is the result obtained after calculating an account.

If you think about it carefully, Xing Ling's videos will still require Wu Mengqi to be a motion capture actor, and a certain amount of compensation will be paid each time.

But if you bring him into the company and become a formal employee, everything will be easier to handle.

Besides, Niu Geng also expected her to design a different style of image for Xing Ling.

——

certainly.

Wu Mengqi didn't know Niu Geng's true thoughts. She would only consider issues from her own perspective.

Although the painter circle can make money by accepting orders, you don't always have such good luck. Occasionally, it is normal to not receive orders for a month.

It's a particularly unstable income.

But after joining Xingyuan Technology, not only did I get a fixed monthly salary, but I could also continue to take orders part-time.

It's really exciting to think about it.

So Wu Mengqi finally decided: "I am willing to come and work."

"Okay, you can go directly to Xiaoman tomorrow to go through the formalities. The treatment will be the same as everyone else."

When Niu Geng got this answer, he felt secretly happy and immediately made the decision.

Li Chao and the three of them are naturally very happy about this. There is one more girl in the company, and the ratio of men to women is finally about to become balanced. If they are lucky, they might even be able to have an office romance.

It’s exciting just to think about it.

After dinner, several people returned to the rented houses nearby. Niu Geng went to the second floor of the villa and made a phone call home.

Niu Geng had already sent the 20,000 yuan to his family a few days ago, which really shocked his parents.

After all, for a student who has just entered his senior year, it is really surprising to suddenly earn 20,000 yuan.

Niu Geng finally explained for a long time before convincing them that his son had found a good job.

Although he still didn't tell the truth, seeing his parents so happy made Niu Geng feel more at ease, which made him call home more frequently.

…

Friday, August 24th.

With the help of Li Chao, Lu Xiu, Guo Hongtao, and the help of Xing Ling, the first virtual video was finally successfully produced.

And publish it to the Bizhan account registered with Xingling.

After the video passed the review, everyone, including Niu Geng, became nervous. They sat in front of the computer and refreshed the page frequently, trying to follow the video data in real time.

Mainly for this video of just over one minute, the equipment alone cost more than one million yuan.

In addition to the careful attention to modeling and the smoothness of movements, everyone invested a lot of energy. If the data is stretched, it will definitely have a dampen on enthusiasm and affect the subsequent process.

But worries are worries. Now that the video has been released, whether it will succeed or not depends on its own destiny.

After all, everything from Xing Ling's image to modeling was purely made with money, without any optimization points. If it fails, it's normal.

Time passed little by little, and the playback data of the video always remained within three digits, which made Niu Geng unable to help but want to complain.

"The number of views is also ridiculously low. It can't be compared with Moyin's cover video!"

Back then, he used Moyin to sing a random song, and it would get millions of plays. But now, the song he made carefully was not popular. This kind of result is really hard for Niu Geng to accept.

So even though it has been almost an hour since the video was released, Niu Geng still believes that it will become popular.

So will things really be as he thinks?

In a community in a county in Zhongyuan City.

Lin Junhao, a day student who has just entered his senior year of high school and returned home from evening study at school, skillfully turned on the computer and started his favorite Bizhan session.
