Chapter 177: Film and Television Special Effects Department

"Old Bean, what are we going to do? Do you want to give the Yankees a little more color. ”

Chen Xin thought about it, suddenly laughed, and said: "It seems that the CIA still has a thief's heart, and actually wants to target Qiao Ting through Ling Wei and them. But this old cat is still quite interesting, let them go first, as long as the old cat dares to go to China, then everything is not up to them. Steel, pay attention to the old cat's phone calls, text messages and emails, and notify me immediately if there is anything abnormal!"

"Old Bean, understand!"

Gangyi paused, suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "Old Dou, aren't you worried that this guy will make himself very handsome, and then soak Ling Wei?"

Chen Xin said with a little weakness: ", can you not be nonsense, Ling Wei has nothing to do with me now, I don't care who she likes to follow...... Besides, Ling Wei is not that kind of person!"

The steel hammer snorted twice and said, "The mouth is not right!"

Chen Xin rolled his eyes speechlessly.

But in the final analysis, Chen Xin himself was not sure what he was thinking, and he didn't directly stop the CIA's actions, so he didn't have the intention of meeting Ling Wei again in his subconscious.

…………

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Xin had a harmonious meeting with Thomas Toole, President of Legendary Pictures, and Michael Rael, Vice President of Blizzard, in the reception room of the Hilton Hotel, and the two sides reached an agreement on the cooperation intention of the film version of "Warcraft Shijie".

Cybertron Digital will be mainly responsible for the CG part of the film, which is still in the preparatory stage. Therefore, Cybertron Digital can only get involved in the CG production of the film after the screenwriter, director and storyboard are in place.

As for the production costs, Blizzard did not agree to Chen Xin's request to use CGjishu to invest in the movie version of "Warcraft shijie".

After all, Warcraft has accumulated a large number of fans around the world over the years, and there is no need to worry about the box office of the movie at all.

At present, there is no shortage of funds for the movie version of "Warcraft Shijie", the only thing that is lacking is the film script and director approved by Blizzard.

Chen Xin didn't care about this, Michael Rael offered Cybertron Digital a price of 50,000 US dollars per second, and according to the calculation of the pre-20 minutes of CG footage, Chen Xin could get a net profit of 60 million US dollars for this movie alone.

After agreeing on the general direction, Chen Xin called Wu Jun and asked him to send someone to the United States to further negotiate with Legendary Pictures and Blizzard on the details of the contract.

In the end, Chen Xin proposed to Wu Jun to cooperate with the military to develop a fighter flight simulation system. A team of military experts is going to visit the company.

"What. In cooperation with the military, military experts are coming over? Mr. Chen, when did you get in touch with them?"

Chen Xin smiled and said, "This is the cooperation reached by Mu Lao's lead. ”

Wu Jun was taken aback. He asked, "Which Mu Lao?"

Chen Xindao: "Is there a second Mu Lao in China?"

Wu Jun was stunned for a long time. If it's really that Mu Lao. That's incredible, too.

Although he was used to Chen Xin's magic, he didn't expect Chen Xin's energy to be so great.

Previously, Cybertron Digital received an official document from the General Office of the Central Committee, asking Chen Xin to accompany Chief No. 1 to France to receive the Legion of Honor. He learned that Chen Xin was the Chinese passenger who flew an Airbus and landed safely at Charles de Gaulle International Airport during the Paris Air Show anti-hijacking case.

Although the media did not disclose Chen Xin's identity to the public, but within Cybertron Digital, the news spread wildly, and many employees were curious about the company's CEO who had not seen the end of the dragon, not only did he create a large Cybertron Digital from scratch at a young age, but also became the protagonist of the anti-hijacking incident, and his legendary experience will even be brought to the big screen.

Even Wu Jun himself can't help but have a trace of admiration for Chen Xin, let alone those employees of the company.

Unexpectedly, this time it was even more exaggerated, Chen Xin actually got involved with the military directly under the guidance of Mu Lao.

If you cooperate like this, you have to do it even if you lose money!

It's an opportunity that you can't find with a lantern.

Wu Jun thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, this ...... If the panel comes along, what are they going to evaluate? I'm afraid the special effects department won't be able to handle it. ”

The number of employees of Cybertron Digital has expanded to more than 200 people, in addition to the administrative staff, among the remaining 150 people, Wu Jun is divided into three departments according to Chen Xin's requirements, namely the film and television special effects department, the game department and the music and sound effects department.

Although CG special effects are Cybertron Digital's current core business, this department has just been established not long ago, and Wu Jun himself has no idea what jishu's strength is.

At present, there are more than 60 employees in the film and television special effects department, of which art designers account for the majority, and most of them have experience in CG special effects production, which can be said to be basically the elite in the industry.

Of course, compared with those well-known special effects production teams in the world, Cybertron Digital's special effects department has only been established for less than two months, and there is a certain gap between Jishu and overseas teams in terms of Jishu ability and tacit understanding.

Chen Xin is not unprepared for this.

Some time ago, he asked to optimize the CG production software such as 3DMAX that is being used in the company, not only to make its functional interface more in line with the usage habits of Chinese, but also to increase the material retrieval function, and store a huge material library in the Xingshi computer, as long as the employees of the film and television special effects department have any needs, they can find the materials they need through the material retrieval function.

The company also encourages the employees of the film and television special effects department to upload some of the materials they usually create to the Xingshi computer, and as long as they pass the review of the steel hammer, they can get a certain amount of monetary rewards.

After nearly two months of cooperation, everyone in the film and television digital special effects department feels that they have broadened their horizons on CGjishu, and with the support of the new software, many of them have found that their works have improved greatly compared to before.

When they joined Cybertron Digital, they were worried that the company would not pay so much attention to them with the support of the overseas JISHU team.

It wasn't until the new software was handed out to these employees that they really felt that Cybertron Digital was ready to build them as a core team, as they were said at the time of recruitment.

Many people are shocked by this CG software, although they can faintly see the traces of 3DMAX and other software, compared to the software they used before, this new software is too powerful, especially the material retrieval function, which is an eye-opener for them.

For example, in the science fiction theme, there are thousands of alien images in the material library, and there are hundreds of thousands of models of interstellar battleships.

From the spaceship of the first-level cosmic civilization that has the ability to sail within the planetary system, to the spaceship of the third-level civilization with the curvature engine capable of faster-than-light flight, to the super battleship of the seventh-level civilization with the ability to fly across the river system, almost every model is lifelike and dreamlike.

These were all jokes made by the steel hammer when it was boring, but it turned out to be a symbol of Cybertron's digital prowess.

There are also many architectural models such as high-rise cities, terrain models such as deserts, grasslands, and mountains, as well as models of warplanes and warships.

The only thing that makes them feel strange is that the material library is basically dominated by science fiction, military and other models, but there are very few models of Eastern mythological characters and Western magic characters.

For example, they are doing the core concept design for the crew of Xing Ye's "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", and there are not many reference materials in the material library, and the shapes of the demons and monsters in it have to be designed by themselves.

Chen Xin didn't have much to do about this, after all, the steel hammer belongs to alien creatures, and his understanding of the earth's culture is not so deep, and if he wants to make mythical characters that meet the aesthetics of the earthlings, it is impossible to do it without a few years of effort.

This also gave Cybertron Digital's artists a place to use, and Chen Xin's requirement for them was to sketch out the charm of the mythological characters, and the details could be filled in with steel hammers.

Up to now, the main characters in "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" have been completed, such as the fish monster, the pig demon and the image of Sun Wukong.

When these character materials were sent to Zhou Xingchi, Xing Ye was even more appreciative, and decided on the spot the images of these monsters, and called over to express his gratitude to Chen Xin. (To be continued......)
