Although the theme of the movie "The Seven Deadly Sins" is a little heavier, the filming process is actually relatively smooth.

Because the movie uses actors like Morgan Freeman and William Dafoe, they are both powerful actors. Even if Brad Pitt seems to be a young man, his acting skills are actually very outstanding. Xu Qing is not a simple vase, and his acting skills are also very outstanding.

In addition, they are all very dedicated and will not go on strike, play or leave the group at any time. Therefore, everyone works hard together, and the filming process will naturally be much smoother.

In comparison, it is really uncomfortable to film with young actresses who don’t know how to act and have no acting skills in the past. Those young actresses, young actresses who don’t know how to act and are not humble in other people’s guidance, so they can’t act well for a long time. Often, they have to shoot several times over and over before they can barely choose one that can be used.

Moreover, they have a lot of things to do, sometimes they think they are cold, sometimes they feel hot, sometimes they feel they are tired of makeup, sometimes they feel that the lights are not good... In short, it is all a problem.

In addition, they also have a group of agents, assistants, and nannies accompanying each other like serving the emperor, and they also make mistakes.

Sometimes I think the lights are not well-made, and their artists are not beautiful; sometimes I think there are too many young actors who play opposite scenes, which steals the limelight from their artists; sometimes I think the photographer's angle is not good, and they don't take a perfect side of their artists...

It takes most of your energy to deal with them just by shooting a scene.

And this is pretty good. If you encounter an actor who plays a show, it will be miserable.

Like a certain actress filmed four sets of scenes at the same time, she often took leave and went out. As the heroine, once she left, the crew would be shut down. In order to ensure the construction period, she could only use a subtitle frequently.

The actors who were invited for a sky-high salary were completed by a substitute in the end. Fans watched the role of idols, but most of the time they only saw the substitute.

It really fits the old saying that people filming are crazy people, and people watching are fools.

Xia Tian had filmed many movies with the crew in his previous life and suffered a lot of grievances. Now, he can truly feel comfortable working with these dedicated actors.

...

Just as Xia Tian was busy filming "The Seven Deadly Sins", in the mainland, Dr. Sun Yansheng also developed what Xia Tian said about the U disk.

In fact, mp3 has been developed, so the USB flash drive is naturally very simple. It is nothing more than a castrated version of mp3 without adding batteries, headphone jacks, decoding chips and other components.

However, in order to ensure the security of data storage, Dr. Sun Yansheng still added an encryption chip to the U disk. Through high-strength encryption methods, it ensures that the U disk data will not be read by outsiders. In this way, the confidentiality performance of the U disk will naturally be greatly improved.

The capacity of the U disk is only 8 trillion, and the price is as high as 288 US dollars, which is relatively expensive. After all, a floppy disk costs only one or two dollars, and the storage capacity is more than one trillion.

But then again, the number of times the U disk can be erased is as many as 10,000 times. The lifespan of the floppy disk is relatively short and is very prone to damage. Therefore, it needs to be stored carefully before it can be used for a long time.

Moreover, a floppy disk requires a special floppy disk drive to be able to be read. The price of floppy disk drive is not cheap.

In comparison, the USB drive does not require a special drive, and it can be used as long as it has a USB interface. The USB interface is standard for almost all computers, and even Panda computers have a USB interface. Moreover, the transmission speed of the USB interface is much faster than that of a floppy disk drive.

Overall, both U disks and floppy disks have their own advantages, but the development of floppy disks has reached its peak, and the era of U disks has just begun.

The U disk was immediately launched into the market by Tianxia Technology.

However, this epoch-making product has not sold very well.

After selling for a month, only 20,000 were sold. Apart from some high-tech companies, only some computer enthusiasts were interested in it.

Compared to the vcd that sells millions of units per month, the U disk is obviously a failed product.

The reason for this is that its capacity is too small. The eight megapixels of capacity is not much higher than the floppy disk.

Larger storage methods, such as CD, were successfully developed and popularized in the 1980s, with a capacity of more than 650 megabytes.

Therefore, the status of the U disk is very embarrassing. It is not much higher than the floppy disk and is much lower than the CD. It cannot save large-capacity files, and it cannot use small-capacity files, which is really useless.

In addition, its price is much higher than that of floppy disks and CDs, so it is normal that it is not popular in the market.

In fact, Xia Tian also knew that these eight trillion U disks would not be popular, so he just let Tianxia Technology produce 100,000. It would be great if it was sold. If it could not be sold, it could also be digested within the group.

But the reason why I am not optimistic about the market is still launched, the market is so practical, and the future market prospects will be very broad. Now that I have obtained the patent rights, I can make profits in the future. Patent funds alone can at least make more than one billion US dollars, which is not a joke.

...

In fact, it was indeed as he thought.

After the U disk was launched, many companies realized its value and prospects.

Although the price of U disks is very high now and the storage capacity is not high, with the development of memory chip technology in the future, the capacity of U disks will definitely become larger and larger, the cost-effectiveness will become higher and more popular.

Therefore, many companies are inspired and want to seize the blue ocean of "U disk".

However, at this time, they noticed that Tianxia Technology had applied for a patent for the USB flash drive. From hardware configuration, structure to software drivers, encryption, etc., they were all registered in advance by Tianxia Technology.

In this way, if other companies want to produce USB flash drives, they must seek authorization from Tianxia Technology, otherwise production will not be allowed.

This is like the x86 chip patent in Intel and Amd's hands. Without patent authorization, production will not be allowed even if the technology is already met.

In this way, these companies only have two ways to produce USB drives. One is to create a new path and develop a new storage method; the other is to seek authorization from Tianxia Technology and pay a certain authorization fee.

It is certainly not easy to open up a new path. In fact, people have been researching data storage technology and have successively developed tapes, hard disks, floppy disks, CDs, etc., which has spent a lot of energy, money and time on this.

If you want to develop storage products similar to USB drives and have broad prospects, it is not an easy task. It may cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and perhaps not necessarily feasible.

Paying authorization fees is much more cost-effective than paying.

First, the technology of the U disk is relatively mature and you can immediately put it into application without investing more funds for research and development; second, the authorization fee is much cheaper than the R&D fee.
