Chapter 171 Galaxy 2 Supercomputer and Two Versions of Heroes(1/3)

In the summer vacation of early August 1986, although the pace of the (cat-and-mouse game) siege of the city was very good, the feminist trend of thought was developing rapidly in North America.

But during this period, the most popular blockbusters are still the ones (Never Compromise)!

This blockbuster, which has been in theaters for more than 20 days, was the biggest surprise in the summer of 1986. It was such a surprise.

In North America, it grossed 32.73 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, 31.18 million U.S. dollars in the second week, and 30.09 million U.S. dollars in the third week from 21st to 27th.

In the fourth week from 28th to August 3rd, it once again collected US$27.8 million.

Cat and Mouse grossed US$23 million in its first weekend, but it was only the runner-up at the box office. By August 4, the single-day box office of Never Compromise bucked the market trend and soared to more than US$6 million. On the contrary, Cat and Mouse only had more than 300 US dollars.

Thousands of knives.

Because, the case "Mary sued California Pacific Gas & Electric Corporation on behalf of thousands of citizens of Hinckley Township" started on the 11th and has developed for 20 days now. The case has made great progress, and the legal teams of both sides are arguing inside and outside the court.

By August 4.

California Pacific Gas & Electric Group has agreed to increase the compensation to more than $300 million.

As soon as this news came out, countless North American citizens felt like their whole bodies were on fire. They felt so cool that they couldn't wait to replay it (never compromise).

A movie like this is reflected in reality. When the movie is released, the same thing is happening in reality. Is there really any hope that a large number of ordinary citizens can get hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation from behemoths?

The hotter the news becomes, the more sensational the social topic becomes, which adds a rocket booster to the movie box office.

It took in US$127.8 million in the North American market within 25 days of its release, a figure that shocked the world.

As for the total box office in Asia and Europe combined, the figure is already close to US$100 million, which is equivalent to a total box office of more than US$200 million in less than one month of release.

It was under such circumstances that on the morning of the 5th.

Zhao Donghuai met Zhu Jiaxin in the big office. The person in charge of the special effects base came to tell the good news, "Boss, it's been going on for more than a year, almost a year and a half, and all kinds of dinosaur special effects models are almost ready.

.”

"Do you want to go to Pengcheng to have a look?"

Zhao Donghuai was overjoyed, "Is it so fast?"

It's not that fast when you think about it. This has never been... No, it should be said that when the super-body project was established in 1984, he did not expect that a supercomputer would be available. He did not initially plan to produce dinosaur footage of tens of seconds.

But in October 1984, he was able to buy the Galaxy 1 supercomputer from the mainland, and the North American supercomputer group sold him three North American supercomputers. In October 1984, he decided to add dinosaur lenses to the supercomputer.

Since that period, large teams recruited from the mainland have begun to build dinosaur models under "excessive" wages and salaries. One is a large dinosaur model with a real scale of one to one based on scientific research data, and the other is a small scale.

Although when SuperBody was released in May 1985, the supercomputing rate was still limited. It could only perform more than 100 million calculations per second. As a result, the dinosaur action shots in the SuperBody movie were slightly distorted, which was not as good as the original Jurassic Park from the 1990s.

.

But from May last year to now, the special effects base has indeed divided up a large group of people, who have been working on models in preparation for (Jurassic Park).

This is another 15 months of hard work.

As we all know, Zhao Donghuai is not short of money. The special effects base has always had the most abundant funds. With enough money, there are also enough talents in the mainland.

The six-month production period for Super Body is considered training. After the training, you will prepare for (Jurassic Park) for another 15 months?

When Zhao Donghuai thought of this, he stood up and said, "Let's go, I really want to see such a good thing."

A few hours later, when Zhao Donghuai arrived at... Pengcheng Nanshan, he saw behemoths one after another in a sealed Pinggu square or lawn.

Not to mention the smaller ones like Velociraptor, Gallimimus, and Pterosaurus, but the big guys like Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brachiosaurus, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, etc., they are really big guys.

Take a model of a Brachiosaurus, about 26 meters long, standing upright in a large square. A human standing next to it is really made into a small toy.

There are not only dinosaur models, but also various Jurassic plant models, and artificial prop trees, which are spectacular and brilliant!

Zhao Donghuai, accompanied by Zhu Jiaxin and others, watched many large models one by one. He couldn't help but marvel, "The skin texture is just like the real thing..."

If these were not all models and could not be moved at will, Zhao Donghuai would have felt like he had seen many living dinosaurs from the original version (Jurassic Park) 1.

Zhu Jiaxin smiled brightly, "Boss, you have spent hundreds of millions of yuan on special effects models, including plant trees, for a movie in the past two years..."

This money is so good at recruiting people. Many eighth-level workers are leading a team to do this stuff? Yes, Zhu Jiaxin also has the feeling of worshiping many eighth-level workers in the mainland. After all, he didn't know until he came here.

In those days, the poor and useless people in the Mainland made mushroom eggs. Although there were some computers that could be used, there were too few computers, and most of the calculations were done by masters with abacuses, which was a big mistake!

Several Galaxy 1 supercomputers that have been added to the special effects base also have many parts that are hand-welded by level 8 engineering masters.

There are no various machine tools or machines in industrial production, but it can be done manually by hand, and it can actually be used to create a supercomputer. Lao Zhu felt that his outlook was greatly shocked and shocked.

It's not surprising that such a master of the same level came to lead the team for a year or two to do this? Such results are not surprising.

Zhao Donghuai lamented, "Now that we have the models used for making movies, can computer technology keep up?"

Zhu Jiaxin said awkwardly, "There are still difficulties. The supercomputer we currently use is basically 100 million operations per second. Compared with the most advanced ones in the world, there is still a big gap. If there is a supercomputer that can perform one billion operations per second, we can use it.

"

"Then it won't be too difficult for you to direct the first Jurassic Park."

Director Zhao was speechless. One billion operations per second? According to the original track, this was only developed in the Mainland in 1992. Of course, from 1983 to 1992, it took a full 9 years for the Galaxy supercomputer to advance to a new level.

The main reason is that after Galaxy 1, the mainland was also short of money. After Galaxy 1, supercomputing could barely keep up with the leading international pace, so it stopped investing heavily for many years.

To compare, the Galaxy 2 with 1 billion operations per second was launched in 1992, and the Galaxy 3 with 10 billion operations per second was launched in 1997. The difference between 1 billion operations and 10 billion operations is only five decades.

Zhu Jiaxin said again, "The boss has donated 50 million yuan every year since 1984 to fund the supercomputing project team. Now he has donated 150 million yuan. The research and development power there is still very strong."

"I also asked, and I think there will be good news next summer."

Don't look at Zhao Donghuai, who spends hundreds of millions of dollars. In fact, for the current mainland, not to mention 100 million yuan, 10 million yuan is a huge research fund.

Nowadays, Ten Thousand Yuan Household is still an honorary title worthy of being pursued and paraded through the streets!

It was not until the 1990s that households worth ten thousand dollars were no longer worthy of being so sought after and boasted, and millionaires and multi-millionaires began to appear more frequently.

He dares to spend 200 million yuan on the project team for three or four years, and it is normal to achieve new breakthroughs in advance.

Zhao Donghuai was overjoyed, "If there are results, that would be the greatest good news."

When Director Zhao returned to Zhao's Financial Building, he decisively called Azhen in front of him, "Go and contact IBM and say that I want to buy a supercomputer that performs more than one billion operations per second. Are they willing to sell it?"

"Anyway, the mainland's research and development is almost completed."

"If it doesn't sell in North America, contact the island country..."

In the global supercomputing field, the island nation’s combat capabilities are really not bad.

Last time, he bought three North American supercomputers with 100 million operations per second. He uses two of them himself and donated the other one to the mainland. It is estimated that this style of doing things will disgust North Americans.

But in business, as long as you are willing to spend money, even if the seller is dissatisfied with the customer, he can still talk about it.

If you can buy a second-generation supercomputer now that can perform more than one billion operations per second, then (Jurassic Park) may not necessarily have to wait until next summer to start filming.

After thinking for a while, when Zhou Huimin came in with a bowl of soup, Director Zhao immediately smiled and said, "Amin, let's put your Chinese real estate operation into operation and buy a big piece of land on Lantau Island!"

A Min said in astonishment, "Buying land for development on Lantau Island?"

As we all know, Lantau Island is a larger island than the main island of Hong Kong Island, covering an area of ​​141 square kilometers. The main island of Hong Kong Island is only 78 square kilometers, but it has Central, Peak Road, Happy Valley, Deep Water Bay, and Repulse Bay harbours.

Island comparison?

Lantau Island is a poor place.

Before the 1990s, the Hong Kong government had never officially developed any projects on Lantau Island. It was not until October, three years after the current stage, that the official plan to build the Chek Lap Kok International Airport on Lantau Island was proposed because the Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon was overwhelmed.

In 1992, construction of the Tsing Ma Bridge began.

It was only after the handover that Lantau Chek Lap Kok International Airport became one of the busiest airports in the world.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "Yes, I feel that the Jurassic Park novel will hopefully start filming this year or next year. Since it is going to be filmed, then of course there will be a theme park project for us."

"After the movie is filmed, the remaining park can become a movie-watching souvenir for movie fans around the world. As long as the Jurassic movie series is popular enough, the tourism popularity of this theme park will not be low."

"Which one should be repaired on Hong Kong Island or Kowloon and the New Territories? How difficult is it..."

It cannot be said that the construction of the New Territories in Kowloon is difficult, but we know that Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island, will become one of the busiest airports in the world in the next few years.

Make arrangements in advance.

From now on, movie fans from all over the world can check into resorts and have fun directly in theme parks after getting off the airport.

The theme park of Jurassic Park 1 will be built in reality just as it is in the movie. Anyway, one of the top real estate groups in Hong Kong, like Chinese Land, has it in its hands.

If you don't use it, you won't use it.

Let’s talk about resorts and tourism. They are projects that can be operated in the long term. After the handover, how many tourists from all over the mainland will come to Hong Kong to travel? Chinese Land will seize this project, which is a golden project that can chase the Disney amusement park.

Zhou Huimin was shocked, "Can we film Jurassic now?? I remember Super Body... Wow, I want to act in a movie like Jurassic Park."

She is currently a new tycoon chasing real estate tycoons such as Li Chaoren, Wang Dehui, and Guo Bingxiang. She really has little interest in ordinary film projects. A singing career? Amin really likes singing. As long as there are good songs, she still wants to

sing.

Isn’t it because there haven’t been any good songs recently?

Jurassic Park movie? Armin really wants to act in it! Not to mention other things, the (super-body) dinosaur special effects for tens of seconds shocked the world of film circles.

The super physical ability brought down the box office of more than 400 million US dollars in 1985.

If Jurassic is finished filming, it will definitely explode!

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "You can do it if you want to do it. You can tell me slowly what you want to do, but the theme park can be built now."
