The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

"come over!"

Lin Bufan looked at Xu Hongfei and Zhou Mingxuan who knocked on the door and came in, and waved to them.

"President Lin!"

Xu Hongfei and Zhou Mingxuan walked over and sat down on either side of Lin Bufan.

"We've been notified?"

Lin Bufan turned to look at Xu Hongfei.

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

Xu Hongfei nodded and replied, "They'll arrive in at most an hour."

"President Lin, the instructions have been given, and the employees are very grateful to you," Zhou Mingxuan said at the opportune moment.

There are some things the boss may not ask, but you can't remain silent about them. Even the smallest things require feedback from those below.

Lin Bufan nodded slightly, said nothing more, and said to the two of them, "Perfect, the results are in, you should both hear them!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Xu Hongfei and Zhou Mingxuan nodded slightly.

"Alright, go ahead and say it!"

Lin Bufan looked at the people opposite him.

"Mr. Lin, this technology is quite mature, but if you want to manufacture it exactly according to the technology, it will take some time, as it involves a wide range of industries..."

Some technological upgrades are never just about a single technology, but involve upgrading the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain together.

This includes the equipment and technology involved, such as laser diodes, semiconductor equipment, chips, projection optical engines, electronic systems and image processing, high-end projector manufacturing, cinema system integration, after-sales and spare parts systems, optical coating, precision optical cold processing, nonlinear optical crystals and fluorescent materials, light guides and light homogenizing elements, professional cinema screen manufacturing, metal screens, high-gain coatings, auditorium architectural acoustics and light-shielding environment...

These were all professional terms that Lin Bufan had almost never heard of before.

"Based on your understanding, and given the current level of production, how much of this technology can be utilized?" Lin Bufan frowned slightly as he looked at the people opposite him.

"Mr. Lin, regarding this..."

"Stop, forget about the technical jargon. I just want to know how much of it can be utilized?" Lin Bufan interrupted him.

It wasn't that he disrespected these professionals; it was simply that he couldn't understand them at all, and it was a complete waste of time. He only cared about the results.

"Around 30%."

After some calculations, the experts looked at Lin Bufan and gave him an answer.

30%?

Lin Bufan wasn't too surprised by the result.

Sometimes, it's not just about having the technology; it's also about the existing manufacturing industry.

Lin Bufan has already developed 30% of it, and even that 30% completely surpasses the 3D technology used by truck drivers.

"Did you hear that?"

Lin Bufan looked at Xu Hongfei: "I don't care what method you use, I want to see the equipment in front of me within three months."

"Understood, Mr. Lin!"

Xu Hongfei took a deep breath.

This was not an easy task for him, not even Zhou Mingxuan next to him tried to take credit for it.

It's fair to say that this involves far too many industries.

Furthermore, to make them obedient, one must invest in them, which involves the strength of companies in these industries and other aspects.

"If it involves a foreign company, I'll have someone assist you!"

Lin Bufan thought for a moment. This is not twenty years from now. The technology in China is not as good as that abroad, especially in some high-tech industries.

If it's not available domestically, we have to look to external sources.

However, if it goes abroad, Zhewei Capital will have little influence.

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Xu Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what connections President Lin had abroad, it was still much better than his current situation.

"Mr. Lin, there's actually one more thing..."

"Is there anything else?"

Lin Bufan looked at the professionals with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Lin, it's like this. Although the technology for screens here is very advanced, it's fine if it's just for domestic use, but if we want to go international, we need the approval of the six major film studios..."

"The six major film distributors?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

After the other party explained, Lin Bufan finally understood why the Hollywood Big Six held such a high status in Hollywood and even globally.

In 2002, Disney, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and 20th Century Fox established the DCI organization.

The DCI organization, simply put, is a digital cinema advocacy organization.

Currently, all films worldwide are transitioning from film to digital, and equipment manufacturers are scrambling to sell digital projectors.

However, there is one thing: each company has a different format, different encoding, different encryption method, and even different file structure.

For each film released, distributors have to convert it to a dozen or even dozens of formats, which can cause costs to skyrocket and also create opportunities for piracy.

Moreover, if a cinema only buys projectors from brand A, it may not be able to support the format of the next movie, leading to a very chaotic situation.

At this time, DCI was established and issued a set of specifications, DCSS (Digital Cinema System Specification).

The terms of this document mainly stipulate the requirements for file format, resolution level, encryption and anti-theft format, anti-tampering hardware, digital watermarking, and compliance certification.

Firstly, in terms of file format, the structure, images, sound, letters, etc. of the digital cinema newspaper are all packaged and encoded according to a single pattern.

The resolution settings must support 2K or 4K.

In terms of encryption, the video files can only be played on devices that have passed the six major certifications, namely projectors, further eliminating the possibility of piracy.

To prevent tampering, the projector must have a security processing module inside, where the private key is located. If the projector is physically disassembled, the private key will be destroyed.

Moreover, it contains a digital watermark.

The function of this digital watermark is to embed a hidden tracking code. If someone secretly records and uploads videos in a movie theater with their mobile phone, the watermark can be used to find out which movie theater and which machine it came from.

Last but not least.

If a projector manufacturer wants to sell to cinemas, it must go through many testing processes. Of course, the most important thing is that the six major film studios must agree. Otherwise, no matter how advanced your equipment is, it will be useless because the film will not support the playback of your equipment.

Actually, there were originally seven major clubs, including MGM, but MGM later withdrew from the group due to its decline, becoming the current six major clubs.

This system not only affects foreign countries, but also requires domestic countries to abide by its regulations.
