"Okay~" Aubrey was a little disappointed.

"Mr. Xiao, I have a question that I really want to ask you, I don't know if it's okay?" Aubrey looked at Xiao Jun again, and asked with a look of inquiry.

"You say. Xiao Jun waved his hand and said it didn't matter, you just asked.

"The special effects of your Galaxy Mystic Realm are so good, the graphics inside are so realistic. "Aubrey has been in the film and television special effects industry for more than ten years, what kind of software has he not used? But he knows very well that the ability of those software cannot produce the same realism as Xiao Jun's works!"

In fact, he is now exploring what Xiao Jun used to make such awesome special effects!

"This is just one of those ordinary crafting software. Xiao Jun said casually. He wouldn't say he was using software that he developed. Wouldn't it be a fryer to say it?

"Oh~" After listening to this, Aubrey secretly believed in your evil in his heart, but he didn't continue to ask. He knew that Xiao Jun didn't want to tell him.

After Aubrey left, many people came to make friends and talk to him in the future.

Many of them wanted to recruit him, or to find out his skills.

One of them, the boss named Benjamin, even offered to buy his company and his team!

"Mr. Xiao, I know that you have just opened a special effects company and are in the early stages of starting a business. But you have to know that film and television special effects are not easy to mix. If it is not properly managed, it is easy to go out of business. If you join my company, first of all, you don't have this worry. You can create as much as you want! I can also give you a high position and a high annual salary!" Benjamin said sincerely to Xiao Jun.

Benjamin wasn't here to compete, he was just a heavyweight guest invited by the organizers. He obviously also took a fancy to Xiao Jun's technology and the team behind him.

In fact, what Benjamin said makes a lot of sense.

Nowadays, film and television special effects are really not easy to mix.

Many of Hollywood's largest film and television special effects companies have frequently closed down.

For example, in 2013, "Life of Pi" won 4 awards at the 85th Academy Awards, including the "Best Visual Effects Award". It was the result of a year of work by 1,300 people at the "Rhythm Effects Studio", however, three months after the release of "Life of Pi", the "Rhythm Effects Studio" filed for bankruptcy. They told the media that bankruptcy was not caused by financial adjustments or mismanagement, but that cash flow was cut off and employees could not be paid.

Between 2003 and 2013, at least 21 well-known Hollywood special effects companies went bankrupt, filed for bankruptcy or transformed, including the industry's top "Digital Domain".

The main reason is that special effects companies are currently facing three major problems, first, high cost. Second, the production cycle is long. Third, the order volume is prone to short periods!

The first cost is high, first of all, your company alone will make you struggle with that batch of computer facilities, making special effects, the computer must be good, and a computer is tens of thousands of yuan. A few hundred computers is a cost of tens of millions. Second, what about the salaries of employees? Taking US imperialism as an example, the annual salary of a medium-level special effects personnel is about $40,000, that of senior personnel is $60,000, and that of top-level personnel is about $150,000.

Suppose you are a large company with 1,000 employees, and the top students are assigned according to 6:3:1. The construction period is one year, the total salary is about 39 million US dollars, plus the coordination, and the salary of the special effects supervisor, the stunt labor cost may reach 50 million US dollars!

Moreover, a lot of software is used to make special effects, such as Maya for animation, PS Mari for textures, Houdini for special effects, and Arnold or Renderman for rendering. As long as you can use Nuke for synthesis, you have to install a genuine version on a machine. The software is expensive, and the company that made the special effects for Avatar and The Hobbit is based in New Zealand, and the company spends 180 million tokens a year on Renderman. That's just the amount of money spent on the renderer, not counting other production software.

That's the cost! It's scary.

Second, the production cycle is long, and generally large companies receive large orders, all of which are orders for blockbuster films, and such orders, such large special effects companies generally have to use all their employees, and it takes a year or even longer to produce it.

In other words, your annual order may be 1 or 2, and you will not take a small order if it is not worth much.

Third, during the empty period of orders, it generally takes 1~2 years for you to make a big order, so other big movies will definitely not look for you when you are busy, and you will not take new orders. So when you finish this order, in case there is no order to make for a few months. Just those few months of employee wages are enough for you.

is because of many reasons, so the current film and television special effects company is indeed not easy to mix!

"Mr. Benjamin, I know what you said. However, I have no plans to join your company at this time. I still want to break through on my own!" Xiao Jun smiled and shook his head. Bankrupt? hehe, non-existent!

The problems encountered by traditional special effects companies are not a problem for him!

First of all, the cost, he needs not many employees, the team does not need to be large, but it can produce orders.

Second, his castrated version of the Galaxy Virtual Game Engine is free software, his own, what money do you want?

Thirdly, and most importantly, his Galaxy Virtual Game Engine produces special effects very quickly, it takes you 3 months for a team of 100 people to make a special effect, and it only takes half a month for him to do it alone.

That is, one person who topped you 100 people does not count, and it is 2 and a half months faster than you!

In other words, Xiao Jun's company cost will be very low, and it will be pitiful compared to the other party! With fewer employees, he will naturally save a lot of salary money and equipment money.

In this way, Xiao Jun's profits are very large, and he can also take more orders and make more money!

It's all thanks to the castrated version of the Galactic Virtual Game Engine!

It can be said that it is because of this artifact that it can support a bullish film and television special effects company.

"Okay~" After Benjamin heard this, he shook his head a little disappointed and helplessly, in his eyes, Xiao Jun was a stunned young man and a head iron. You have to go for it!

"But if you want to join my company in the future, I'm always welcome!" Benjamin smiled.

"Yes!" Xiao Jun grinned and shook the other party's hand.

"By the way, I don't know how long it took you to produce the 15-minute full special effects Galaxy Mystic Realm?" asked Benjamin curiously. In his eyes, it should have taken a lot of thought to create such a virtual special effect, mainly 15 minutes is very long, and the time must be even longer!
