Chapter 67: Dynamic Replacement

"Is this really him?" The audience went wild upon seeing the face-swapped video!

"Holy shit, he looks so handsome, with a dash of swagger!"

"He instantly turned into a hunk?"

"I'm blushing..."

"Han Jinlun is a sleeper hit! If he can really work out and look like this, I'm willing to marry him!"

"There's zero sense of discord! If I hadn't watched the beginning, I would've thought this was a real person!"

"This technology is insanely awesome! They actually swapped a foreigner's face with a compatriot's, and it looks so realistic!"

"66666!"

Those who previously thought it was a mismatch were now chiming in with praise. The face-swapping effect far exceeded their expectations!

Even He Xingzhou himself hadn't anticipated the results to be this good. It was probably because Han Jinlun's facial structure was exceptionally well-suited for a muscular hunk.

Shen Bingbing asked, "Mr. Han Jinlun, what are your thoughts after watching this face-swapped video?"

Han Jinlun couldn't help but give a thumbs up, shouting, "It's amazing! After watching this video, I have only one thought: I must lose weight, build muscle, and become a muscular hunk!"

At this very moment, his desire to lose weight and work out was stronger than ever!

Had he known working out would yield such results, he would have hit the gym long ago to transform into a heartthrob!

The viewers in the livestream chat banter endlessly: "Muscle Jinlun, truly awesome!"

"Jinlun, do you have a contact number? Please share!"

"Go work out and come claim me as your girlfriend!"

"Haha, this video is so addictive. He Xingzhou, can you replay it a billion more times?"

The recording of the livestream was clipped by viewers and circulated across the internet.

"Alright, the personal demonstration has concluded," He Xingzhou announced. "Next is the experiential demonstration by our partner enterprise."

A man stood up from the audience, holding a microphone, and said, "Hello everyone, I am Chen Fenghyu, CEO of Woodpecker Pictures."

"Our company is currently producing a sci-fi film, featuring a segment where the protagonist team's consciousnesses are transferred into animals. For the sake of realism, we didn't use full-body suits or heavy makeup. We wanted to directly utilize the visual effects technology of the Fiery Eye Intelligent System to replace the characters' appearances and movements with those of animals."

As he spoke, a movie clip played on the screen. It showed five members of the protagonist team fighting against villains using various heavy weapons.

A hail of bullets, missiles, lasers, and machinery interwove in an intense battle. However, the audience, who had already grown somewhat aesthetically fatigued by such cinematic scenes, didn't find anything particularly striking about it.

The provided source materials replaced the protagonist team with a tiger, a leopard, a bear, a deer, and a wolf respectively. The Fiery Eye system read the material data.

"The replacement begins now," He Xingzhou initiated the process, and in just one second, the replacement was complete.

When the audience looked at the video again, it had completely changed its appearance.

In the footage, a striped fierce tiger hoisted a machine gun and fired frantically at the approaching enemies; a leopard drove a motorcycle, speeding across rooftops while attacking foes; a red deer sprinted through a hail of bullets to dodge bombs; a black bear shouldered a massive rocket launcher, blowing a fighter jet out of the sky; and a gray wolf operated a computer terminal continuously, assisting its teammates...

This wasn't just a simple animal special forces sequence, because in the replaced video, the original characters' micro-expressions were vividly conveyed through their eyes, fur, and muscle movements.

There was not the slightest trace of stiffness or awkwardness; it was as if these animals truly possessed human souls!

"Suddenly, this feels so much more interesting!"

"Yeah, during the action scenes, their eyes, expressions, and movements are so human-like!"

"You can't tell it's special effects at all!"

"What movie is this? When is it coming out? I suddenly want to watch it so badly!"

In the audience, Chen Fenghyu, the CEO of the film company, wore a broad smile.

"Applying to become an experiential enterprise was truly the wisest decision I've ever made!" he rejoiced inwardly. "Experiencing the Fiery Eye system today has not only provided publicity for the company and the film,"

"Not to mention gaining priority access to technology licensing, the replacement technology of this Fiery Eye system can save our company a massive fortune in visual effects production costs!"

Just those few minutes of footage, if handed over to a traditional VFX studio, would cost hundreds of thousands per second!

Yet for the Fiery Eye system, it was practically effortless!

Seeing these effects, several other entrepreneurs in the audience began to harbor ambitious thoughts.

"Isn't He Xingzhou's tech product livestream far more effective than any commercial advertisement?"

"This is the true domestic top-tier influencer!"

"Next time he showcases a technology or product, I must find a way to get involved!"

"Chen Fenghyu has made a fortune!"

...

With these two videos broadcasted, the experiential phase of the technology showcase was essentially concluded.

He Xingzhou stated, "Everyone, today's press conference ends here. As for the three missing persons, we are currently searching for them; please pay attention to subsequent news reports!"

"It's already over?"

"I haven't had enough yet!"

"+1!"

"If the missing persons aren't found, does that mean this matter will just be dropped?"

"I'll be keeping an eye on it!"

...

He Xingzhou's press conference had concluded, and the two videos, *Muscle Jinlun* and *Animal Face-Swap*, spread rapidly across the internet.

Han Jinlun became an internet sensation, giving rise to trending topics such as #MillionsOfNetizensOnlineUrgeHanJinlunToWorkOut#.

Meanwhile, Woodpecker Pictures' upcoming film garnered widespread attention, and several enterprises began actively contacting He Xingzhou's team, hoping to obtain licensing for the Fiery Eye system.

Naturally, the three missing persons sought by the system also captured the attention of countless media outlets. After all, whether or not they could be found would determine if the Fiery Eye system's biometric recognition technology was truly as miraculous as claimed!

In Jiaozhou, a food delivery courier was out making deliveries when he received a call from his station manager.

"Xiao Qiang, where are you? Get back here right away!" the manager said.

"Huh? I'm in the middle of deliveries! I can't break away right now!" Xiao Qiang replied.

"Something important has come up, get back here immediately, and I'll arrange for someone else to take your deliveries!" the station manager insisted.

Puzzled, Xiao Qiang nevertheless hurried back to the station. Upon arrival, he discovered several police officers waiting for him, which immediately made him nervous. He blurted out, "Station manager, I haven't done anything wrong!"

"Comrade, don't be nervous. We are here to help you find your family members!" a police officer explained.

"That's impossible, both my parents are right here. How could I be a missing person?" Xiao Qiang disbelieved.

"You were lost as a one-year-old child, and your memory from back then wasn't complete... Regardless, would you please cooperate with us for a DNA test?" the officer asked.

"A test is fine, but you've definitely got the wrong person!" Xiao Qiang remained skeptical.

His blood sample was taken for testing while, simultaneously, in Linhai Province, an elderly homeless man sleeping in a bridge underpass was located.

Following identification by the Fiery Eye system, the elderly man was determined to likely be Yao Min's father. Guided by surveillance footage searches and public assistance, the police successfully found him.

As for the third target—a fugitive on the run for twenty years—the Fiery Eye system had also flagged a highly suspicious individual.
