China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

"Mike, can these special effects scenes be completed with the current technological level of Starry Sky Digital?"

"Boss, I think there is no problem. The city night scene of Chongqing in 1946, as long as we have photos from that era as a reference, we can perfectly produce it here, including combat scenes of naval ships and air force aircraft."

"Of course, if the other party requires absolute realism, then it still needs to be left to the digital field."

A foreigner with blond hair and light blue eyes answered Sun Yi in a combination of Chinese and English.

Mike is currently the special effects supervisor in the digital field. He was also the special effects assistant that the digital field arranged to work with Sun Yi when he was filming "Shelter". He is a talent with a reasonable technical level but a better understanding of film special effects production.

Before Xingkong acquired the digital field, as someone who had cooperated with Sun Yi, he was one of the talents who actively moved closer to the new owner of Xingkong. This time, after nearly half a year of training, the staff of the Starry Sky Special Effects Department returned to China and formally established Starry Sky Digital. Mike directly offered to work in China and was promoted to deputy director of film special effects production.

Just now, Sun Yi was trying to understand the current or inner starry sky digital capabilities to see if he could independently complete the special effects task of "The Founding of a Nation".

Chen Xiaoze, the original head of the special effects department of Starry Sky, has not returned. He is still in the digital field in the United States, participating in management and furthering his studies. He is also responsible for the continuous flow of domestic special effects students to study in the United States.

Sun Yi hopes to use this method to gradually take all the technology into his own hands.

At present, the official establishment of Starry Sky Digital is the first step. It will carry out a certain degree of independent special effects production tasks, and at the same time expand its scale to undertake the special effects rendering and synthesis division of labor in the Hollywood digital field.

Speaking of which, the rendering and synthesis of special effects are actually not very technically difficult. As long as there is corresponding software, the rest depends on the computer hardware level and the proficiency of the staff. It is the lowest-end and hard work.

However, due to the large amount of personnel investment and time required, nearly half of the cost of a movie's special effects is based on this.

Therefore, Sun Yi moved this business back to China based on the principle of rational use of resources, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

You know, the rendering and synthesis of special effects can be done by a college student majoring in computer science with just a few months of training, but the efficiency is just slower.

However, the average annual salary of an American programmer in 09 was around US$8, which works out to 55 RMB. If China recruits ten talents of the same level, there will still be a surplus.

In China right now, you can earn 4 to 5 yuan a month, sit in an office, and the air conditioner is blowing. It is definitely a decent and high-paying job.

As for high-end technology, he also wanted to directly engage in special effects research and development, 3D production, etc. However, the gap in level is too big. It cannot be learned in a year and a half. The low end comes little by little.

Isn't it the same with China's manufacturing industry? Start from the low end, run fast in small steps, and master core technologies bit by bit.

Sun Yi thought about it and felt that the focus of a movie like "The Founding of a Republic" should not be on special effects scenes. As long as there are no obvious distractions and no hindrance, there should be no big problem. Then he told Mike:
  "Let Starry Sky Digital make a first version first, and I'll take a look at it then."

"Okay, boss."

"By the way, take a look at the special effects requirements for "Pacific Rim". Can Starry Sky Digital do it?"

"no, no, no"

Mike shook his head after hearing half of the words, and then said to Sun Yi with a wry smile:
  "Boss, you requested in the script that the production should be at the same level as Transformers. Let alone the starry sky numbers, it is a big job for the digital field."

Sun Yi nodded dejectedly, knowing that his idea seemed a bit whimsical, but he was still a little unwilling to do so. It was not a problem to keep doing rendering and synthesis. He had to do some big projects to improve his level, and then asked without giving up:
  "What if we let people from Starry Sky Digital work on the digital field in "Huan Tai" and cooperate with each other?"

Mike brushed his curly hair and explained awkwardly: "Boss, I understand your idea. You want the staff of Starry Sky Digital to improve in practice, but the problem is that the special effects requirements of "Huan Tai" are too high. This The people on the side can’t learn anything at all, and all they end up doing is rendering and compositing.”

"If you want to learn in practice, I suggest you choose a movie with relatively low special effects requirements, so that people at Starry Sky Digital can have the opportunity to practice."

Sun Yi nodded slowly, what Mike said was true, but where could he find such a movie for a while? He also had a main theme movie this year and couldn't find a good book.

Difficult!

Just as the two were discussing special effects, there was a sudden knock on the door of Sun Yi's office.

"Enter."

Liu Xiaowei walked in quickly with a document.

"Brother Yi, you've been exposed." "What has been exposed?"

"Look." Liu Xiaowei opened the folder and took out the printed screenshot of the news report and showed it to Sun Yi.

"Sohu Entertainment": "Our reporters have verified through multiple interviews that Director Sun Yi is planning to usher in a new era of Chinese science fiction films."

Damn, this title is quite bluffing.

This was Sun Yi's first impression after reading it. He smiled secretly in his heart, and then continued to read the next content.

"The day before yesterday, reporters discovered that there were two distinctive buildings next to the China Film Digital Film and Television Production Base in Huairou. At first, the reporter thought they were studios belonging to China Film Group, but after investigation, they learned that they were actually independent photography studios owned by Starry Sky Imaging. shed."

"Our reporter explored it and found that its comprehensive area and technical level are completely comparable to Hollywood, and have even reached the level of the first studio in Asia."

See the picture
  "At the same time, it also has the largest deep-water studio in Asia and even the world."

See the picture
  "During the investigation by our reporter, we also saw what looked like a cockpit of a large mecha."

Please see pictures pictures
  "It is reported that the cockpit of this mecha can simulate various anthropomorphic actions such as walking and fighting. According to our reporter's guess, this cockpit, which is about 6 meters high, should be the head position of the mecha. From this, it can be inferred that, The entire mecha should be no less than 60 meters long, several times longer than the Autobots in Transformers."

"At present, there is no further information about the movie, but the author has evaluated it by professionals and found that the overall cost of the cockpit in the photo alone will not be less than 1000 million yuan. At the same time, the author learned that there are many plans to build such a cockpit starry sky. It shows the investment intensity of this film."

"At the same time, you can also see several well-known directors such as Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang in the photo. I don't know what role they will play in the preparation process of this film. Will they work together to create the first hard-core science fiction film in China?" A blockbuster movie, I’m looking forward to it.”

  "Finally, to sum up, Chinese movies have always been described as a science fiction desert. I will not comment on this, but from my personal point of view, I very much hope that Sun Yi, a representative of the new generation of young directors, will shoulder the responsibility of China. As a leading figure in science fiction movies, I also hope that he can make a seemingly distant dream come true for the vast number of Chinese science fiction movie fans."

"This site will further dig into the relevant information about this movie and Star Image's next actions. Please look forward to the latest reports."

Putting down the printed document, Sun Yi smashed it with his mouth, his expression a bit rich.

Call me angry, that's not to say, but after all, I was secretly photographed, and I felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at the pictures, it was obvious that they were taken among the crowd of visitors that day, and I don't know how this reporter got in.

Even though it was a wave of free publicity that didn't cost a penny, it didn't go according to his plan. It was more or less an unexpected situation, which was quite helpless.

Turn on your computer and read relevant online reviews.

I wiped it, and it was like killing a stone and causing a thousand waves.

The entire film and television entertainment section is full of this news.

"Xingkong is going to make a science fiction movie. Is it true?"

"Looking at this picture, it looks awesome. Can China also make science fiction?"

"You're just kidding, it's probably false propaganda, just to attract people's attention. Alas, even Sun Yi, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, did the same thing."

"I don't believe it. Can we, the current group of film directors, make it? Don't waste it."

"Same as above, I also think it's time to go to bed, but if it's Sun Yi, I'm still looking forward to it."

Tuk Tuk Tuk

There was a quick knock on the door.

"Enter."

Xiaoting also trotted in.

"Brother Yi, the door of our company was blocked by reporters again."

Hiss. Why do you say again?
