Silicon Valley

The launch of the ICQ game platform has brought a large number of active users to ICQ! Before that, many ICQ users used ICQ to chat, but now, ICQ is also used to play games. A week later, the ICQ game platform has more than two million players, and more than 100,000 players have chosen to recharge the ICQ game currency!

The ICQ game platform brings together many chess and card leisure and entertainment games, which is tantamount to dropping a bomb on the calm lake, causing huge waves! The American people have been deeply attracted by it, especially the white-collar workers. When they are tired from work, they can relax by playing a game of chess and cards! And many students also team up to play games and open black shops to trick others.

At the end of March, ICQ game platform has more than one million online players worldwide!

The American media couldn't help but be shocked that the number of online users exceeded one million, which shows how popular the game platform is!

The magazine cover of this issue of "Time Magazine" was actually replaced by the ICQ game platform!

"The most influential casual game platform in the world!"

Although Henry often appears on the cover of Time Magazine, it does not mean that it is easy to be on this cover. You have to have a huge influence to have a chance to be on the cover. The ICQ game platform can be on the cover of "Time Magazine", which shows that "Time Magazine" affirms it!

ICQ is also stepping up the development of more games, and at the same time developing the more popular chess and card games in various countries!

The popularity of the ICQ game platform has aroused the covetousness of many people, and they have also begun to develop such game platforms, wanting to take a share of the pie. Therefore, ICQ company can not have any slack. The game should be continuously improved, bugs should be revised, and more fun games should be developed to enrich the platform content!

When Tian Shuai and Henry met, they told him that ICQ was also preparing to develop AI artificial intelligence software, in addition to players being able to play against other people. You can also play against the computer! And this suddenly reminded Henry of the supercomputer developed by IBM - "Deep Blue" defeated the world chess champion Kasparov in 1997, which once caused a huge sensation!

Hence, for ICQ the company decided to develop plans for artificial intelligence. Henry is full of praise!

However, Henry also knows that the computing power of the current computer is not very powerful, and I am afraid that the effect of AI will not be very good! Even the one made by the mighty IBM weighs 1270 kilograms. The "Deep Blue" supercomputer with 32 brains (microprocessors) is not even as powerful as a laptop in the eyes of future people!

However, if cloud technology is used, the computing power of AI will be greatly enhanced! Even at the current technical level, the Deep Blue supercomputer is simply not enough in front of cloud technology!

"Deep Blue" is just a computer after all. Cloud technology is a data center composed of hundreds or thousands of servers!

"Deep Blue" computer and cloud technology comparison. Completely crushed rhythm!

Noah's Ark's blade server is about to be successfully developed. At that time, Henry will spend tens of billions of dollars to build multiple data centers around the world! At that time, the world will know what it means to be arrogant!

Henry couldn't help but think with disgust that after the Deep Blue supercomputer defeated the world chess champion Kasparov, he would send ICQ's artificial intelligence software to play and abuse it a hundred times with an absolute advantage!

It's only 1992, and after five years of development, AI is participating in more and more player battles. Naturally accumulated experience and ability are stronger!

"Tian Shuai, when you develop artificial intelligence, you can also develop an intelligent virtual community feeding game - ICQ pets. The game runs through the whole process of pet growth, including feeding, cleaning, working, learning, playing games, getting married, laying eggs, Travel, missions! The most critical point is to apply AI artificial intelligence to this, for example, players can output text or voice, and then pets can respond, and even chat with players or something! I believe that through long-term Learning and error correction. The ability of artificial intelligence can be cultivated!!!”

Henry paused for a while and said, "Well...the pet needs to be designed to be a bit dull, but it is very cute and will look like a bridge, so that it can meet the immature performance of our artificial intelligence in the early stage! Pet types such as penguins, pandas, ducks, Little fat pig can wait!"

Tian Shuai couldn't help but nodded again and again, ICQ pet? Oh, what a brilliant idea!

...

On the evening of March 31, the Chinese Theater held the premiere of "In Jurassic Park"! For such an important occasion, Henry was naturally present!

The premiere was full of stars and star-studded, and almost all the big names in Hollywood were present, including the CEOs of major film companies. "Jurassic Park" was not released, but the movie tickets for the first day were sold out. Why don't film company CEOs envy? This kind of thing is really shocking, and what is even more shocking is that the box office on the first day actually exceeded 100 million US dollars, which is unprecedented in the history of American films, and even broke the first day box office record of a global film!

No one is not shocked by this data!

The CEO of the film company wants to watch the film, analyze the reasons for its success, and then learn from it to develop his own company!

At the premiere, after taking the stage, Bobby Robin said, "Welcome to the premiere of the movie "Jurassic Park", which is the fourth film invested and produced by Galaxy Films. The first three films are It's Terminator 2, The Ghosts, and The Rest of the Island, and each of them did very well at the box office! Now it's Jurassic Park's turn, but it's clear that this one The box office of the movie will be even more amazing. Although the movie has not been released, everyone knows that the movie tickets for the first day have been booked, and the box office has exceeded $100 million! !"

“Welcome to Jurassic Park!!!”

When Bobby Robin said the last sentence, his tone was low and deep, full of mystery!

"Mr. Bobby Robin, when will Jurassic Park be released abroad?" a reporter asked.

"Global release on April 8!" Bobby Robin replied.

The main actors then came on stage to give their testimonials, and then the studio CEOs stared straight at them as ILM CEO George Lucas and Galaxy Special Effects CEO Stan Winston spoke. Perhaps before, film companies did not pay much attention to special effects, but now, the success of "Jurassic Park" has made them clearly realize the importance of special effects in movies!

At the same time, they couldn't help being deeply shocked by Henry's foresight!

You must know that at the beginning of its establishment, Galaxy Film Company immediately established Galaxy Special Effects Company, and spent huge sums of money to increase research and development efforts, which made Galaxy Special Effects Company’s technology advance by leaps and bounds, and finally kept pace with Industrial Light and Magic and became the two strongest in the world. One of the special effects companies!

The strength of Galaxy special effects is particle effects, while the strength of ILM is CG, each has its own strengths!

The original crew of Galaxy Special Effects is actually the top special effects company "Digital Domain" founded by James Cameron and Stan Winston in the previous life, but now the two have joined Galaxy Special Effects Company!

Stan Winston is a leading figure in Hollywood's special effects world. He has created some of the most ground-breaking characters in modern film. He has won 10 Oscar nominations in his lifetime, and currently has two for "Terminator 2" and "Alien". An Oscar, Henry bought his Stan-Winston studio together when he recruited him!

In addition to these two top special effects companies, another top special effects company, Weta Studios, will be established in New Zealand in 1993, that is, the special effects team for "The Lord of the Rings"!

Weta Studio's strength lies in motion capture. It is said that James Cameron decided to shoot Avatar immediately after watching the Lord of the Rings Gollum, and the first call was to Peter Jackson, hoping that his Weta Studio Film Avatar the whole way with motion capture!

Henry has already bought the rights to The Lord of the Rings, so he's waiting for Peter Jackson to create Weta Workshop, buy his company, and let him shoot The Lord of the Rings in a few years! In addition to being the founder of Weta Workshop, Peter Jackson is also an outstanding director. He shot the extremely grand "Lord of the Rings Trilogy"!

Talent plus company, no matter what, Henry will definitely not "let go" of him...
