We made up at the beginning, and I continued my relationship with my secret crush

Mark Saga.

Before, Qi Mo wouldn’t be so excited.

But during this period, everyone is looking for many domestic and foreign professional virtual human companies.

Among them, Soul Machines is the most famous and powerful company.

The person that everyone pays the most attention to is Mark Sagar, the co-founder of Soul Machines!

He has an astonishing track record, having worked on the facial designs of Avatar, King Kong, and Spider-Man, winning two Academy Awards for his work.

In 2019, Soul Machines also custom-designed the virtual person YUMI for SK-II as SK-II's first digital skincare consultant.

Well-known companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Sony, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Procter & Gamble have also cooperated with Soul Machines to explore the application of virtual humans in their own fields.

Zhang Quande, who had been abroad for a long time, had contacted them before, but because the project was too small and the time was tight, he quickly received a rejection response.

They also had to give up cooperating with it.

But Qi Mo still felt in his heart that if there was a chance to cooperate, this company would be the best choice!

So he looked up some information and asked everyone around him to try to contact the founder.

After all, before the metaverse and virtual humans became popular, Soul Machines were not well known to the public.

Even a few years ago people didn't understand what the Soul Machines team was doing.

Just treat it as a movie character production and AI team.

But now, the times have given them new opportunities and opportunities, and the technological accumulation of the past decade has finally become known to the world.

Founders with such vision may not be unwilling to join their epoch-making virtual Peking Opera show.

In other words, for them it is not just a virtual Peking Opera show, but more likely to be a new trend for future concerts!

So after learning that the other party was Milo's good friend, Qi Mo contacted him without saying a word.

The other party also expressed their interest at the beginning, but time was too tight. In addition, they did not have much knowledge of Chinese culture before, so it might not be easy to perfect the character design of Peking Opera.

Qi Mo directly bought out the copyright and data packages of himself and his master Xiaodianren as well as all the clothing.

sky-high price.

An absolutely sky-high price.

But in order to better complete the virtual Peking Opera show, he was willing to give everything.

No one knows better than them what an entire opera troupe means nowadays; it means they are truly founding a new school!

Only by having its own repertoire can the Li School truly go global!

Not only Qi Mo thought so, Cui Li and Zhang Quande also thought so, everyone in the team thought so!

Mark was moved.

But this is not enough.

He just promised to find out more.

So Qi Mo sent him the screen recording of his master's debut performance.

Milo also said some good words to help Qi Mo. Not only that, he also asked Arno for help.

More importantly, Weigang Investment also sent people to find him, hoping they could help.

Who is Weigang Investment?

That was like a mentor to Mark.

In November 2016, Soul Machines was officially established and separated from Oakland University. Due to a special opportunity, it won the favor of Vision Capital (Li Jiacheng family) and completed a US$7.5 million Series A financing round led by Vision Capital and IC.

Later this year, Vision Capital once again invested in Soul Machines.

So for Mark, other people's requests are soft, he can ignore them and just politely refuse.

But only Hong Kong investment is not possible.

And all of this naturally comes from the energy of Mr. Gu.

After all, the old man said: You can't let your own children suffer, right?

With a direction, the old man naturally has a way to help his grandson fulfill his wish. It's just some benefits. As long as the children are happy, it's fine.

Immediately.

Soul Machines took over their project and assigned Team A to be in charge of the entire process.

You should know that Group A’s previous projects were either big brands or film productions. This project is definitely the smallest project they have taken on since the company became successful.

But no one dared to underestimate the other, and Mark personally participated in the project.

We quickly got into work mode.

Qi Mo and his team needed it urgently, but with the basic data and reference data, there was ample time and it could be done quickly.

The biggest obstacle to the virtual Peking Opera show has also been solved.

Under the guidance of Soul Machines, Qi Mo and his team rented a green screen scene and continued rehearsing with a large number of professional motion capture equipment.

They also streamlined some items, reduced the need for motion capture, and focused on performance as much as possible.

Everyone's movements need to be more obvious so that the movements performed by the little electric man will look better.

Everyone is making intensive preparations.

During this period, Qi Mo did not forget his partners, personal broadcasts and the annual carnival.

This time, Qi Mo fulfilled his promise to his fans. He started broadcasting early when the district and county competition was being divided into 50 to 20, and he also went online on time to guard the tower.

The numbers for the district and county finals were laid out from the beginning.

Even in a region like Hangzhou, it firmly took first place and achieved a score that was far beyond the reach of the second place.

That night, many hosts specializing in analysis mentioned Qi Mo's name again and again, and he finally made the list.

Other anchors who were preparing to play in Hangzhou had already started paying attention to Qi Mo.

I even asked a lot of people how far he planned to fight.

Is it enough to be first in the county or district? Or is it the city competition, or even the regional competition?

After all, everyone could see that Qi Mo scored really well in the district and county competitions, and it looked like he had no chance of saving any points.

But Qi Mo never had this concern at all.

First of all, Bird Edin is a one-man showdown, not to mention that there is also Harun joining him in the vote.

Secondly, the number of people in Qi Mo’s live broadcast room has now stabilized at around 4+, and the individual votes alone can earn a lot of points, and everyone is willing to spend money on it.

Thirdly, Gu Cheng didn't broadcast, and the young ladies left all the points to Qi Mo. The ability of virtual fans to gain points is far superior to that of the same type of anchors, not to mention that Mo Zi, the young ladies, and the upper and lower fans are all holding their breath.

Fourthly, Qi Mo is currently one of the only two anchors who can broadcast simultaneously on overseas platforms. The ability of overseas fans to gain points is no worse than that of domestic fans, and their scores have been actually merged.

The fifth reason is that Qi Mo is now a favorite of all factions. Although he may not be able to get a big score, he is definitely guaranteed to get a small score. Moreover, most of them are office workers and have good spending power.

This made the anchors in Hangzhou miserable, while the anchors who gave up Hangzhou were smiling happily.
