"Here, I provide internal information of the New Globe Group, from which it can be seen that including "The Day After Tomorrow", "Ant-Man 2", "Unsinkable", "Ghost Rider" and other commercial blockbusters, the expenditure on special effects accounts for 60% of the total cost of the film. Among them, the special effects team of "Unsinkable" employs about 1,062 people, "The Day After Tomorrow" 1,242 people, and "Ant-Man 2" 874 people. ”

"It can be seen that labor costs are the largest expenditure item in the special effects industry, accounting for about 60% of the total cost of special effects. Of course, this is Hollywood data, which is of little significance to the Korean special effects industry, and I'm going to talk about the other 40% of the cost - software and hardware. ”

"Well-known special effects companies have their own render farms, such as Pixar, with more than 1,000 rendering machines, and Lucasfilm has more than 2,400 rendering machines, as well as specially built servers and blades. In addition to the top-of-the-line 64G memory and E5 processor, in order to ensure the transfer rate and image cache, it is necessary to prepare an advanced configuration of more than 64TB......"

"For example, Ghost Rider, which is currently in theaters, it takes 50 hours for a machine to render 1 frame, and 24 frames per second. In other words, 2,400 machines can render at the same time, and in 50 hours, only 100 seconds can be rendered. With such a huge amount of work, it is simply not possible without top-of-the-line hardware equipment. ”

"In terms of software, special effects software is usually charged annually, such as Maya for animation, PS for texture, houdini for special effects, arnold and renderman for rendering, and nuke for compositing. In addition, project management software is needed to improve the operational efficiency of the team, and add functions such as automatic updates and real-time feedback during the project production process. ”

"These intellectual property rights require extremely high maintenance costs. New Globe used to have a top special effects company in the digital field, and its annual software service fees were as high as $150 million! Among them, the cost of using Renderman alone was as high as $30 million! If it was just small software, of course, it could be developed by itself, but the development cost of such large-scale software with strong professional attributes was at least $200 million. ”

Donn's speech was full of sincerity.

A lot of confidential data in the industry was produced, including the data materials of New Globe Group.

The South Korean government wants to promote the special effects industrial park, and these data will be as precious as gold.

Although it is a speech with strong professional content, Don has lived in the United States for so many years and has long been deeply influenced by the American cultural atmosphere.

In the United States, there is no such thing as a successful person who can't speak!

Speech is a basic quality!

Listen to MacArthur's "Veterans Don't Die," Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream," and President Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address...... You will feel the power of the speech.

Of course, Don's speech level is not as good as these people, but it is enough to fool these Koreans who have never seen the world!

I don't know how good their English is.

Tang En first briefly introduced the development history of special effects and the use of special effects in the film industry.

Subsequently, through the expenditure ratio of the special effects industry, the real core of his speech today was introduced.

"Of course, I know that no matter how expensive the hardware is, no matter how high the rent of the software is, it doesn't matter, you are very rich and willing to invest a lot of money for the development of the special effects industry. So here comes the problem, the hardware is fine, the software is fine...... Why isn't there a Vita Digital in South Korea?"

"Is it because the level of science and technology is not good? I'm afraid this is not the truth. I just talked to Chairman Oh about this topic, and among the top 100 high-tech companies in the world, South Korea ranks 4th in the world. New Zealand, on the other hand, has nothing but tourism! What is the secret of Weta Digital? What is the reason why Weta Digital has the same strength as Industrial Light and Magic in the field of special effects?"

Don threw out a big question mark.

Next, but he didn't solve the puzzle immediately, and the PPT behind him turned the page again, and a big title appeared "The Whole Process of Film and Television Special Effects".

"Even in Hollywood, many producers and directors are slowly groping for film and television special effects, and they have not summed up a set of accurate rules. You should all know that I am the director of special effects blockbusters such as "Titanic", "Star Wars Prequel 1" and "Spider-Man", including "Unsinkable", "Spider-Man 2", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and other special effects movies, and I am also a producer. I have summarized the rules that many industry peers are still groping. ”

"Here, I don't have to hide my secrets, I can tell everyone generously. I hope that all colleagues in South Korea can have some inspiration, so that they can have more inspiration and more understanding in the production of films. It is our common goal to make progress together, make more and better films, and give back to fans. ”

When I heard that Don was going to reveal the concept of special effects that he cherished privately, there was a bit of a sensation in the auditorium.

This is an experience that even Hollywood filmmakers don't have!

Don has to be open and honest with Korean filmmakers.

How much sincerity is that?

Move!

Touched!

Sitting in the middle of the first row, the chairman of the Film Promotion Committee, Wu Zhenggen, smiled and nodded secretly.

He was a mature socialist, unlike those sensual filmmakers.

He knew the reason why Don threw out so much sincerity.

It is nothing more than the New Global Group, which has taken a fancy to the Korean market!

Maybe......

Don also fell in love with some Korean women, but these are inconspicuous little things and can't be put on the table. Women are not yet qualified to be bargaining chips for such national projects.

Tang En showed such great sincerity, Wu Zhenggen knew that he was going to return the courtesy.

The promotion of the Korean special effects industrial park is indispensable for the support of Don and the team strength of Hollywood!

Wu Zhenggen has already thought about it, from now on, the Korean film market will ...... Give the green light to the new Universal!

In the short term, it will be difficult to change the policy of 147 days to 73 days.

However, it is possible to show favor to Donne.

Open your arms to New Global Group and open up the market.

It can be said that at this point in the speech, Don's "dry goods" have not really been handed over, and the main purpose of his trip to South Korea has been achieved.

However, he has bigger plans!

He simply chose Seoul National University as the venue for his speech.

The content of the speech is really aimed at the whole world film industry, especially Hollywood!

What is the reason why Donn now enjoys a transcendent social status and exclusive glory in Hollywood?

He made a lot of blockbuster films?

I'm afraid not, he's a guy who eats alone, and others will only blush.

He promoted feminism and sought rights for women filmmakers?

Definitely not, such behavior has even caused dissatisfaction among many industry bigwigs.

Because he is the richest man in the world?

This can only show that Tang En has achieved fame, but it does not mean that he will be respected from the bottom of his heart by people in the industry.

The ...... that really gave him an unparalleled reputation in the industry It was he who came up with two ideas.

First, platter investment.

This has changed the financing model of Hollywood films, making film shooting simpler, film content more pure, and less bound by the unreasonable demands of many investors.

Second, the explosion theory.

Although there is still a lot of controversy about this theory, it has become more and more important among the six giants of Hollywood.

Lei Shidong's "Revival Paramount" plan, at the last moment, didn't it also adopt the "explosive theory", trying to use the two blockbusters "King Arthur" and "The Unfortunate Adventure of Raymond Snich" to revitalize Paramount?

Tang En told every filmmaker about his "private collection" selflessly.

It has brought great impetus and development to Hollywood and even the world film industry!

Now, Don is going to strike hard.

For the third time, he wants to reveal to the world his personal idea of cinematic success – the right process in the special effects industry!

For those filmmakers who are still struggling to figure out, point out a clear way forward.

This is truly immeasurable!

"Special effects in the traditional sense, that is, post-production special effects, mainly involve ideation, modeling, sculpting, retopology, UV mapping, baking displacement maps, painting texture images, baking normal maps, binding bones, materials, composition, lighting, simulation, rendering and other multiple links. All of you here are people in the industry, and as soon as I say it, everyone will understand. ”

"But be careful with my wording, it's just a special effect in the traditional sense. Today, I want to systematically explain the true concept of film and television special effects. Post-production special effects, and post-production of special effects for films, are only a small part of the film and television special effects process. I divide the whole process of film and television special effects into four parts: special effects technology research and development, pre-visual development, on-site visual effects shooting and special effects production. ”

"The research and development of special effects technology, that is, I/O data production, model link, texture link, etc., and the early visual development includes digital scenery painting, tracking and matching, binding, animation and other links. Live visual effects shooting is a point I want to focus on, a real commercial blockbuster must be inseparable from the special effects team!"

"Here, I'm going to come up with a term, a field digital imaging engineer. It's not surprising that you may not have heard of it, but even in Hollywood, it's a new concept. Have you all watched this year's "King Arthur"? Hehe, it's better not to watch it, it's a big bad movie!"

Don wasted no time in putting eye medicine on a rival's film and making a joke, drawing bursts of laughter from the auditorium.

"The film "King Arthur" lacked the participation of on-site digital imaging engineers, and as a result, everyone saw it, and the visual effects were a mess. In contrast, if you look at this year's hit "Ghost Rider" and "The Day After Tomorrow", you can see the gap. So, what exactly is this field digital imaging engineer?"

"In today's films, the resolution of the original shooting materials is constantly improving, the amount of data stored in the materials is increasing, and the picture texture is becoming more and more delicate. In the pre-shooting stage, the on-site digital imaging engineer will assist the director of photography to systematically ensure the integrity of the stored information, and carry out real-time inspection, color correction, and material transcoding of the image on the spot, so as to achieve the expected picture results of the director of photography and achieve high-quality images. ”

"In addition, the digital imaging engineer also has to have a good information exchange with the relevant departments of the film crew to ensure the safety of the storage and transfer of shooting materials......

(Professional content is boring, so try to write as little as possible.) The main purpose of this plot is to lead to the layout of Donn and the changes in the situation in Hollywood, which can be regarded as foreshadowing...... ）
