Meng Xiaobai walked towards him with a brisk pace, and behind him, there were two employees they had never seen before. This is a researcher at Siben Electronics Factory, an industrial laboratory, who was temporarily called by Meng Xiaobai.

"Mr. Meng, hello. Joel also greeted Meng Xiaobai and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Meng has any other opinions on this matter?"

Meng Xiaobai smiled and said: "Just now you said that apart from you, there is no company in the world that can complete the production of tens of thousands of professional-level film and television props, I think this sentence is not very accurate. ”

Joel thought that Meng Xiaobai wanted to negotiate conditions, so he said: "I mean, considering the comprehensive factors of completion time, price, and completion, we Weta Digital are undoubtedly the best choice. With our help, the film partners have created one miracle after another in the history of the world film box office! Mr. Meng, can there be any other company that can do this?"

His tone is extremely confident, if it comes to digital special effects, there are still companies such as Industrial Light & Magic, and the digital field that can compete with them, but model props, they are the world's top producers.

"Maybe you don't need any company, just a small machine?" Meng Xiaobai asked rhetorically.

"How is it possible to have a machine? Those professional-level props need to be designed by top designers, plus professional model makers, it may take half a year to a year to make a professional-level prop, and it is impossible to complete it with machines alone!" Joel felt that his company was questioned by Meng Xiaobai, and was a little angry.

Wu Binghui, Zhu Feiyang and others also looked at Meng Xiaobai and didn't quite understand his words. Several plans they prepared were vetoed by Meng Xiaobai, and when Mr. Meng came here today, he must have a new idea, but I don't know what he planned.

"I mean, 3D printers, precision molds, can be printed in just a few minutes. Meng Xiaobai said.

"3D printer?" Joel was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that Meng always means this, I think you may not know much about this industry." We have been using 3D printers for many years, but 3D printers also have their flaws, many complex structures are difficult to print, and limited by printing materials, 3D printers are not as magical as you think. ”

"It may also be that your 3D printer is not powerful enough and there is too little printing material. Meng Xiaobai said, "Our company's laboratory has recently built a 3D mold printer, and our machine can print those professional-grade movie props in just a few minutes!"

"Wait, your company also makes 3D printers?" Joel wondered, what kind of company is this, isn't it a film investment?

Not to mention him, Wu Binghui and others are also very puzzled, when did the company make 3D printers? Although the company has an electronics factory, isn't it making smart electronic products?

Meng Xiaobai didn't explain too much to them, anyway, it was a new product made in the company's laboratory, and he said directly: "Everyone, I have already asked people to move the experimental products here, let's go and take a look." ”

"Everything has arrived!" Wu Binghui said in surprise, "Let's go, go and see." ”

Joel also looked puzzled, this Huaxia boss even moved the machine, what did he want? Is this the way Huaxia people bargain?

"Morris, what's going on?" Taking advantage of the gap between Meng Xiaobai and the others walking out, Joel asked his assistant in a low voice, Morris is a translator among the business representatives and is more familiar with Chinese culture.

Maurice shook his head and said, "Mr. Joel, I don't know what's going on. My guess is that they might be trying to get you to lower your order price this way. ”

"Absolutely impossible!" said Joel firmly, "the more they do this, the more it means that they are weak-minded, and we will not miss a penny." ”

"I think the same as you. Morris agreed, "It's just a 3D printer, and we have a lot of this kind of stuff in our company." ”

The group came to an empty room, which had just been cleaned up to make room for the 3D printer.

"This is our own 3D printer?" Wu Binghui looked at the big guy in front of him curiously, this is a large cabinet machine, and its appearance is not much different from other 3D printers, but the logo is the exclusive trademark of Deep Space Technology.

"Tell you about our products. Meng Xiaobai said to the researchers who brought him.

The researcher nodded and immediately began to introduce: "Everyone, this 3D mold printer is a new generation of 'Venus 3D mold printer' developed by our deep space science and technology industrial laboratory. ”

"A little mention here is that the Venus series products are a new series of products of our deep space technology in addition to Mercury smart home appliances, mainly for industrial manufacturing machines. ”

"This Venus 3D mold printer has high-performance lasers, galvanometers, printing printheads and other parts, industrial-grade printing accuracy, and can use a variety of metal materials and special 3D printing materials...... With a 3D scanner and a computer operating system, the 3D printing size is 250mm× 250mm×300mm. ”

When the researcher said professional data, in fact, not much was known to everyone present, they only knew one thing, the performance of this printer has reached the industrial level, which is not comparable to ordinary 3D printers.

And the researchers emphasize that it has higher printing accuracy than the top industrial-grade printers on the market today, can print a wide range of complex structures, and can use a wider range of materials - in short, its performance is several times better than similar products!

"That's the rough picture. The researcher finished.

Meng Xiaobai said: "After talking for a long time, I see that you still don't understand well. As the saying goes, it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and you'll know. This Venus 3D mold printer, since it is a test product, it is good to test it on site. ”

"Mr. Joel is here today, why don't we try it on the spot and see how it looks like to print the professional-grade movie props we need?"

Although Joel didn't think so, he still said: "I'm also very interested. ”

Zhu Feiyang, the prop master, asked: "Mr. Meng, then I'll take a design draft, print a sword or a helmet or something to try the props?"

"That's too simple!" Meng Xiaobai waved his hand, "I've already asked someone to design a three-dimensional design drawing, which is one of the professional-grade props to be used in our first movie, a miniature model of the bronze giant coffin." ”

"Bronze giant coffin!" Zhu Feiyang was shocked when he heard Meng Xiaobai's words, this is the indispensable "Extreme Emperor Soldier" in the movie "Covering the Sky", although the number of appearances is not much, it is of great significance, and it is the core of the whole story.

So they decided that the bronze coffin must be made as a miniature model, so that it can be filmed with more sensation and give the audience a shocking visual effect.

This prop is also one of the professional-grade props. In Weta Digital's quotation, the price of this prop is as high as 90,000 US dollars, and if you add the nine dragons in Kowloon's coffin, the price of a complete set of props will cost nearly 400,000 US dollars.

Such props, even if Weta Digital asked professional designers and mold makers to manufacture, it would take less than half a year, and now, Meng Xiaobai directly proposed on-site printing, is it too difficult?

Zhu Feiyang is a little worried, if the printing effect is not good, how embarrassing it will be!
