MTL - Rebirth in a Perfect Era-Chapter 1696 Emoji revolution

Immediately after the basic image of pandabear was designed, Li Mu immediately asked the designer team to launch more poses and expressions based on its basic image to complete the panda bear's material library as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Yiwu's foundry is also working overtime to make panda bear dolls.

In addition to live dolls, Li Mu also asked them to launch ordinary dolls of 15 cm, 30 cm, and 50 cm levels, which will become the first wave of souvenirs of the panda tourism route in the future.

Thirty centimeter-level dolls will be sent directly to the United States, and then Lin Qingya will arrange for the American branch to set up pick-up points in Los Angeles and San Francisco airports in California.

At that time, all tourists who purchase Panda tourism line products through Taobao will receive a 30 cm doll before departing from these two airports.

Thirty centimeters is a very interesting size. It's not too big or too small. It's not too big to get in the way, and it can't be small enough to be stuffed into the alley or bag. Probability is holding it, or getting on the plane.

In this way, tourists have already started to promote Chinese panda tourism before they leave the United States.

The factories that accept OEM customization also attach great importance to this cooperation. They keep improving in the process of design and production, and Li Mu has given them sufficient profit margins in terms of price.

Cut Hu Xiongben Xiong in advance, Li Mu is ready to use it to provoke a war of expression packs.

Eoji emoticons have been popular on the Internet for many years. Now most users feel boring and bland. But there is no social software to lead a revolution in eoji emoticons, because everyone thinks that chat emojis are nothing more than cartoons. Human expressions, such as smile, depression, anger, sadness, embarrassment, sweating, helplessness, are basically enough.

However, no one has thought that gif animation can be used to lead a brand new expression revolution. It is drawn from a wide range of materials, whether it is film and television dramas, games, TV program clips, or short videos shot by users themselves. Make a set of emoticons.

In my last life, the gif emoticons were the first to ignite. It allows users to experience the unique charm of rich expression interaction, and then the violent expressions and ghost animal expressions of various pictures with text began to become popular.

Li Mu's current idea is to cut in from the beginning and the gif first, and directly make it the core battlefield or even the only battlefield of the new generation of expression wars.

At present, Makino Technology and its R & D strength are second to none in the Internet industry. Whether it is in Yanjing or Silicon Valley, there are software and hardware R & D centers for Makino Technology, not to mention the Apple team that has been completely digested.

With such powerful technical support, it is really too simple to develop an emoticon function.

...

A few days later, Taobao Logistics sent several huge packages to the office site of Taobao.com.

Li Mu unpacked the packaging himself. When he saw the "panda bear" real doll that he "designed", he immediately closed his mouth.

Immediately, he immediately asked Master Lei to find seven or eight young and strong guys, and specially invited a team of co-shooters to start recording the emoji package for "Panda Bear".

Since "Panda Bear" is Li Mu's "original", he not only asked seven or eight young people to put on panda bear dolls, but also put on a set himself.

Although this thing is a bit clunky after the upper body, from the mirror, the workmanship, expression, and body shape are exactly the same as those of Kumamoto, especially the low-looking appearance, which is simply a restoration of God.

Li Mu was so enthusiastic that he gave a demonstration himself and said to the shooting team: "I will run and jump in front of the camera in the future. You follow the shot in front, remember to keep going at the same speed as me."

The shooting team immediately picked up the camera and got ready in front.

Immediately, Li Mu, wearing a panda bear doll, staged a famous scene where Kumamoto bears ran and jumped while exaggerating their arms.

Interestingly, everyone at the scene felt that the panda bear was ugly, but when Li Mu ran and jumped up, everyone became unbearable, and some young girls even laughed with their mouths covered.

Everyone dare not imagine that as the owner of Makino Technology and Taobao, Li Mu can wear a doll and make such owed actions, let alone, it is really interesting ...

After Li Mu finished the action, he wore a doll suit and ran to the monitor to see the effect. Indeed, he had achieved the restoration of more than 95, perfect.

Later, he did several classic actions of Kumamoto bears in his memory, such as:

Behind the camera suddenly turned back and beckoned;

Stand still and suddenly spread your legs, two hands doing the action of chick spreading wings;

The action of riding a bicycle, tricycle, or motorcycle in a puppet costume;

The action of running a few steps in a puppet costume and kicking a young man with one foot;

Subsequently, several other young men wearing panda bears also tried various exaggerated and stupid moves under his command, and each of them could be unbearable.

Immediately after the shooting, Li Mu made the classic clips in these videos into gifs, and then equipped them with Chinese, English, German, French, Japanese and other languages.

For example, when you run and jump all the way, you add subtitles in different languages: "I'm coming!"

Suddenly, I turned back to selling the cute expression with a cartoon heart shape, and then added "love you" in various languages;

Feiying other people's moving pictures, with "Go to death!"

Animated rushing to the restaurant, accompanied by "Open dinner!";

Walking walking suddenly relied on the moving picture lying on the ground, accompanied by "this baby can't move!";

Suddenly, she opened the curtain and poked her head to look at the moving picture. It was accompanied by "I just don't speak ..."

Rotating 360 degrees and holding out a thumb, with: "You are great!"

Shaking his head with both hands, shaking left and right, with a series of moving pictures of star effects, with: "I miss you ..."

Soon, the entire Taobao designer team was immediately immersed in this unprecedentedly funny atmosphere and could not extricate themselves.

The joy of making expression packs makes them all immersed in themselves, one by one.

Li Mu let them choose 20 different animations from many materials, and then make a square with a uniform specification. These are the first dynamic expressions of the official Panda Bear!

Exactly, these few days after waiting for the puppet and moving pictures, Fang Xudong and the team also developed the moving picture function.

Before long, Li Mu was invited by Fang Xudong to participate in the internal demonstration of the beta features.

Fang Xudong added a gif expression option next to the eoji expression option in the dialog box according to Li Mu's requirements. The click icon of this option was based on the eoji expression icon, and added some dynamic light effects. On the one hand, Eye-catching, on the one hand is also to highlight the dynamic function.

Fang Xudong showed Li Mu the method of adding moving pictures on the spot by using a projection. When the user clicked the add button, a path selection window would pop up, and the user could directly add a gif file.

While demonstrating, Fang Xudong introduced: "In theory, all the animated gifs of users can be added, but in order to ensure that the bandwidth occupancy does not exceed the standard and also to ensure the user's experience of starting the graph, we have added a function, Automatically compress gif images, the default is to compress to within 1b. "

Li Mu nodded approvingly, saying: "Xudong has done a good job of this, and can consider additional problems based on product requirements and come up with solutions."

Fang Xudong smiled and said: "General Li, to be honest, the current popularity of gif animation is not high, and the production of a gif animation, for ordinary users, the technical threshold requirements are still very high, it is estimated to be at least 95 or more Of users wo n’t do it, so I ’m thinking, will this feature be nowhere available to users in the future? ”

Li Mu laughed: "This is what I want to tell you today."

Speaking, Li Mu pointed at the function added by the gif on the screen with a laser pointer, and said, "In the first stage, you have to block this autonomous addition function for me."

"Shield off?" Fang Xudong looked surprised.

After all, it is difficult to make a function out, but to block the entrance added by the user. What exactly is this operation?

Fang Xudong said in puzzlement: "General Manager Li, take the liberty to say that if the entrance is shielded, it is equivalent to building a building, but there is no door for users to enter and exit."

Li Mu shook his finger and said with a smile, "This is not to build a building without opening a door for the user, but we are building a building without first giving the user the right to renovate."

Fang Xudong paused for a moment and asked, "Do you mean the kind of routine that developers collectively decorate?"

Li Mu nodded and smiled: "Yes! It's collective decoration!"

Then, Li Mu threw a USB flash drive to Fang Xudong and said, "Open it."

Fang Xudong suspiciously inserted the USB flash drive into the computer. After opening it, he found that there were twelve gifs. From the thumbnail, all the pictures were cartoon pictures, and all were an ugly panda.

Fang Xudong said in surprise: "General Manager Li ... this ... is this the panda bear you designed ..."

Li Mu nodded: "Yes, that's it!"

Then, Li Mu asked curiously, "I asked Taobao designers to get it for me ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ How do you know about this?"

Fang Xudong said embarrassingly: "The whole company knows ... To be honest, this panda bear makes everyone doubt your aesthetic for the first time ..."

Li Mu laughed, pointed at the screen and said, "Open it and see."

Fang Xudong opened the first one, and the panda bear ran up and down, "I'm coming!"

The picture was projected on the big screen, and everyone burst into laughter.

Fang Xudong was also surprised, and asked, "Mr. Li, is this ... this is a real person?"

Li Mu nodded and smiled: "It's me, how is it interesting?"

Fang Xudong said with surprise and joy: "Do you mean to use this as a kind of chat content for everyone to use?"

Li Mu laughed: "Yes, you think about it, you have this animation, chat with your friends, or the first sentence of chatting in a group can send such an expression, don't you think it's very interesting?"
