Chapter 362 Award-Winning Speakers

"Why are you so interested in aviation recently? Are you not going to shoot a movie? I see you have released a lot of research projects in aviation." Senior Brother Yuzhuo was holding soy milk and chatting casually with Wang Xu.

He has been flying around recently, promoting Wang Xu's various high-end products all over the world, and there is no sign of heart disease. Of course, this is Wang Xu's credit. Chinese medicine is still very capable of this kind of conditioning.

Wang Xu has also made a lot of medicinal diets to help his parents and neighbors regulate their bodies. Senior Brother Yuzhuo is naturally indispensable. This can be said to be a special benefit of Wang Xu's company.

Recently, Aunt Jiang has planned to open a restaurant for her medicinal soup. There are too many people coming to drink soup. It would be a shame not to open a restaurant.

Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang have both invested in it. If Aunt Jiang didn't want to, they both wanted to get Aunt Jiang to Hong Kong to open a medicinal restaurant. Hong Kong people have extraordinary trust in delicious soup and medicinal diet.

Wang Xu didn't have time, but he could find a Chinese medicine doctor who would take the pulse of the customers who came in, look at their tongue coating and complexion, and basically determine what they could drink, and then reduce the dosage of the medicine appropriately. There would be only benefits and no harm.

"He has counted it. The three-dimensional laboratory has been busy upgrading and constantly changing the original clip. The effect is different again. Now I can't tell that it was made at all.

In addition, a panoramic view of the city was made, which was so shocking." The one who connected was Wang Fei. She had accompanied Wang Xu to the laboratory recently and knew the progress of the film very well.

"I heard that you also matched a song?" Yu Zhuo was also very curious. He was also here to visit today and came to the small building early to have breakfast.

"Well, the name is "My Heart Remains the Same". It's used at the end of the film. It's in English. It's pretty nice." Wang Fei was very proud and didn't mind being seen by others when she boasted. This was her personality. If she thought it was good, she would tell you seriously that the song was very good.

"Can I hear it today?" Yu Zhuo was even more curious.

"You'll know in a while. The last time I went there, the synthesis hadn't been completed." Wang Fei thought about it very seriously, but she didn't dare to be sure. The special effects studio had new changes almost every day, and she couldn't say whether the synthesis had been completed now.

"Then let's leave it in suspense." Yu Zhuo didn't care. After a long time of contact with Wang Fei, they joked from time to time and were considered good friends. He was not as excited as when they first met.

He is now a die-hard fan of the young couple. He used to be a fan of Wang Fei. The couple's voices are really good, plus there are many catchy songs, which are nice to listen to, but not easy to sing.

That's right, he also played karaoke, earlier than Wang Xu. This thing was supervised by him, and it has been sold to Xiao Rizi these days.

Xiao Rizi has a patent for karaoke, which was available ten years ago, but that patent uses videotapes. Because it is very difficult to order songs, it has not really become popular.

Wang Xu's is much more complicated, a complete high-tech, revealing high-end from the inside out, except for being expensive, there is no other problem.

A whole set of audio equipment cost several million. Only Wang Xu's new bar in Didu was installed, and the others have not been sold yet.

However, Xiaorizi and Xiangjiang did sell quite a few sets, but the copyright of the songs was too difficult to negotiate. The good thing is that the buyers are all Yakuza and gangsters, so they don't care much about it.

Anyway, Yuzhuo only sells equipment here, as well as music conversion equipment. Wang Xu has nothing to do with the specific music. Oh, Wang Xu also developed the MP3 format. When the sampling rate is not high, the capacity of a data CD is enough to hold more than 200 songs.

As for the decoding program, it is directly open source and put on GIT. It can be downloaded at will. Anyone can use the software to transcribe CDs into MP3s. As for whether someone will pirate it, it has nothing to do with Wang Xu.

At this time, the Internet is not very developed. Even if someone transcribes it, it will only be circulated among a few people at most. It really cannot be said that it is pirated.

There will be real problems when the Internet is freely downloaded. As for Wang Xu, technology always needs to develop, right? It has nothing to do with Wang Xu.

Today, New Line Cinema from the United States sent a commissioner. Well, he is quite famous, at least Wang Xu thinks he is famous. He did not expect this person to come.

Robert Shaye, the producer of "A Nightmare on Elm Street", should have produced six films so far. He is now a well-known producer with some fame in Hollywood, although most of the films he produced are B-level films.

But as long as you know that this guy is the producer of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, you will know his achievements.

Wang Xu knew this person from his identity as the producer of "Lord of the Rings" and his extreme preference for special effects, which is also an important reason why he became the producer of "Lord of the Rings".

The use of special effects in "Lord of the Rings" can almost be described as crazy. There is almost no shot without special effects in a film. It can even be said that without special effects, there would be no birth of such a magical bureau.

In Hollywood, there are many directors who like special effects the most, but not many producers who like special effects, especially the producers of traditional blockbusters, who rarely like special effects.

Special effects can easily burn up a huge amount of money. Most producers can say that they love and hate this kind of thing, but now is 1993, the era when dinosaurs have just ravaged the world.

A super blockbuster that fully demonstrates the power of traditional special effects and computer special effects, let the world know what computer special effects are, and also made producers all over the world crazy.

But there is only one ILM, and they simply cannot take on the work of a small company like New Line. As a result, this time, they heard a piece of news that on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, a poor and backward country actually claimed to be able to produce eye-catching special effects.

They watched the film. Yes, the people from Golden Harvest brought a one-minute film to show them. They believed it, so there was this inspection.

If Golden Harvest had not had a good relationship with them, and they also hoped that they could do more to promote it in the ugly country, Wang Xu would not have bothered to demonstrate his ability to others over and over again for the inspection.

It is really troublesome and expensive to convert it to film every time.

Such equipment is only available in Wang Xu's place in the country. It is ridiculously expensive, but Wang Xu still bought it. Fortunately, this thing is not banned, just to convert digital images back to film.

You see, how troublesome this is. It is better in the future. The theater is originally digital, and the digital content can be directly copied over, and a hard drive can be brought over.

But now, there is no such equipment, let alone high-definition, even standard-definition ones. We can only transfer the film first and then use traditional projectors for projection. Three-dimensional stereo requires additional digital equipment for synchronous playback, which is extremely troublesome.

Otherwise, why does Wang Xu value laser projection so much and spend a lot of money to study it? This is the outpost of future digital projectors. Just increase the power and resolution, and it will be all right.

It is not something that Wang Xu can do to promote this kind of professional equipment. It is estimated that the patent must be licensed in the end, but Wang Xu does not care. This thing is not a bottleneck technology. Maybe he can get some patents back to use.

Almost all film technologies are promoted in this way. You can see that IMAX is so glorious in later generations, but when it was first born, no one cared about it for a long time. Finally, Cameron was interested and promoted it in conjunction with film companies and theaters. This is how it became known.

That is still Canadian technology. If Wang Xu wants to promote his technology, he is destined to have a long way to go.

So, this film really needs to be shot well, and it needs to be well displayed today to do business and not be shabby.

The agreed time is ten o'clock, which is the time arranged for the guests from the Ugly Country. They are not used to working at eight o'clock, so Wang Xu and his friends have plenty of time to enjoy breakfast slowly with Senior Brother Yuzhuo.

The half-day leisure came unexpectedly. The three of them asked for a pot of tea and drank it leisurely in the small breakfast shop.

Of course, the owner of the restaurant also knew them. Their seats were all on the second floor, which was actually the balcony of the owner's own home. A small table was arranged so that they could look at the street scene downstairs.

Every time these people came, they would sit here. They are now celebrities, and sitting in the store will affect the business.

Senior Brother Yuzhuo was in a very good mood today. He has traveled to many places this year. Although he has a small variety of products, they are all top products in the world, so he has traveled to rich countries.

Small days in Asia, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Ugly Country, Europe, he has traveled to many places and participated in many exhibitions. The Blue Line speakers have now successfully made a name for themselves in the audiophile industry.

Of course, the tens of thousands of dollars in price also made him quite extraordinary. With the Soviet Union going away, tube amplifiers made with authentic Soviet tubes have become a favorite product for many Europeans and Chinese people, and have become an unexpected surprise for Yu Zhuo.

Because the original electronics factory has gone bankrupt, Wang Xu has to use products from other countries instead. It is precisely because of this that a tube amplifier with pure Soviet tubes can now be sold for thousands of dollars, and there is still a shortage of market.

In fact, in Wang Xu's opinion, the quality of tube amplifiers made with German tubes is not a problem. Although there is a slight difference in the sound, it is definitely not something that most people can hear.

But the five-star is a symbol, and out-of-print ones are always more expensive, right?

Wang Xu bought a bunch of such tubes from the market at that time. Most of them were actually bought back at the price of scrap. At that time, the Soviet Union, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, could sell anything, and there were many dealers in China who bought back a lot of them regardless of whether they were useful or not.

In addition to Wang Xu's tube amplifier, there is really no place to use tubes these days. Maybe it can still be used to repair old radios, but, similarly, the Imperial Capital Tube Factory still has countless stocks that cannot be sold.

The result was that they were stuck in his hands and could not be sold at all. In the end, Wang Xu bought a lot of these things at a price almost like scrap. He had no other ideas. The quality of Soviet tubes was difficult to evaluate. He just liked the tuning of tubes, so he bought a lot of them and kept them. Maybe he could make something with them in the future.

You say it is of good quality, but its parameters are really random, and it often has to be debugged separately.

You say it is of poor quality, but it is tough and durable, with huge power, and it can be used for a long time without aging.

Therefore, the tube amplifiers with Soviet tubes were debugged by Wang Xu himself, and each one has its own personality. This is also one of the reasons why this batch of blue line tube amplifiers is particularly popular.

Every tube amplifier that is debugged by himself will have Wang Xu's steel seal on it. This is Wang Xu's habit. Only products made by him will have this steel seal, which has now spread in a small range in the West.

It is almost synonymous with top-level speakers. Each set represents top-level sound effects. Although the quality of the sound is very personal, that is only when comparing between top-level speakers. Compared with ordinary speakers, the difference in sound quality is overwhelming.

Yu Zhuo took Wang Xu's handmade tube amplifier and speakers to many places, and also participated in many exhibitions and parties. From the edge to the center, he slowly broke into the core circle of Western audiophile players. It took more than a year, and now it is time to slowly reap the rewards.

This time, he just came back from Hans with the European Golden Ear Award and orders for more than a dozen sets of handmade speakers. Although this award is not heard of by many people in China, it is the most authoritative speaker and audio equipment award in Europe.

This award was issued at the Audiovisual Industry Exhibition in Hans. Although Wang Xu did not go, he brought a signed acceptance speech and a set of handmade bookshelf speakers, which will also be his exhibited products, that is, the final winning products.

So far, almost two years have passed since the birth of Wang Xu's first speaker. Wang Xu's handmade speakers have truly established themselves in Europe and the Ugly Country. In the future, they can be sold slowly.

This kind of thing is impossible to have a large sales volume. All top speakers sell less than a few sets a year, and the price of more than 50,000 US dollars for a full set is not affordable for ordinary people. It is a scarcity and a style.

If it weren't for senior audiophiles, or some special organizations and businesses, they would not buy such a niche product.

But for deep fans, a set of Wang Xu's hand-signed speakers is really hard to find. The small box sent to the Hifi Enthusiasts Association is really touching, and it's so cool no matter how you look at it.

You know, Wang Xu rarely makes small boxes for bookshelves. Currently, only Wang Fei and Professor Yan have a pair each. Even Senior Brother Yuzhuo only has a set of medium-sized boxes, but no small boxes.

So, the set of small boxes with Wang Xu's stamp is really the only pair in Europe, plus the independently modulated small tube amplifier, which can use bookshelf-sized speakers.

This set of small boxes is actually Wang Xu's pinnacle work, because this is the first set of complete system speakers that Wang Xu really made.

After more than a year of various investments and the hard research of countless professors, the most beautiful flowers were finally born at this moment.

The special metal film made by the growth method, the titanium alloy support structure, the NdFeB high-magnetic permanent magnet, and the single-crystal copper wire, all kinds of new materials are combined to produce the nearly perfect tweeter.

In addition, the ultra-high molecular weight fiber cone, the NdFeB high-magnetic permanent magnet, and the single-crystal copper wire make the equally extraordinary mid-bass unit.

In addition, the blue light LED line, which has not yet been mass-produced in the world, so, although this speaker is not big, the technological content is absolutely great, even the West, which is famous for its technology, can't copy it at all.

Its sound is unique, so when he went to the exhibition, Wang Xu wrote all the acceptance speeches, signed his name and took them with him.

Brother Yuzhuo's more than a year of preparation, the nearly perfect design of the system, and the finished product that his picky ears can't find fault with, made him so confident. .
