Su Li, Li Xian, and Yao Qi's master and apprentice began to discuss things in the writing desk of the 'Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe three of them are now sitting in a row to discuss future developments.

After the people from the 'Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio' completed the task and left "Red Cliff", Wu Yusen was also a little reluctant, this guy took Yao Qi's hand and said, "Old Yao! It's really gratifying that China can produce a special effects artist like you, and a high-quality special effects team like you! I'll be working with you again in the future. ”

It's no wonder that John Woo is so reluctant, because although the number of people in the 'Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio' is small, the kind of ability they show, the kind of magical use of special effects, make him feel some effects that only the American special effects team can bring to people.

In China, there are too few such special effects teams, and this time there is also Crystal Stone working with the 'Burning Shadow Special Effects', which was originally a first-class special effects team in China, but in the face of the invincible Burning Shadow Special Effects, they are still a little dwarfed.

"This is a statement of our income and expenditure this time, you can take a closer look." Yao Qi smiled and handed a report in his hand to Su Li.

Because Li Xian and Yao Qi are responsible for the core technology in "Red Cliff", their remuneration is also quite high, and now after removing some necessary costs, the Burning Shadow Special Effects have earned 200,000 this time!

That's a lot of numbers, after all, there are only nine of them now! The use of the 200,000 yuan, Yao Qi began to consult Su Li's opinion: "Is this 200,000 yuan a dividend or what?" ”

"Of course there are no dividends," Su Li said...... "The 200,000 yuan should be used to expand the scale a little more...... At least it has also allowed the studio to expand in terms of personnel, and the current scale of equipment should be able to cope with the growth of personnel, right? "Of course, 200,000 is still a bit stretched to expand the staff, and they still need to use some of the studio's reserves.

Yao Qi nodded: "The current equipment scale should be able to accept a special effects team of 30 people, but there are some difficulties in this regard." ”

Su Li also knew what Yao Qi meant by difficulties - first of all, management problems, most of the company's management is supported by Yao Qi alone, and the management talents are not very sufficient. The other thing is the technology, and once the scale scales up, it will take a while for everyone to learn these skills and master them, so there are some difficulties in this regard.

Yao Qi then explained: "I think you also know some of the difficulties of the studio, the main difficulty is in the management, and there are some technical communication problems, the dissemination of technology is not a difficult thing, we can slowly upgrade in practice, in addition, we can also solve the problem of uneven personnel through some hierarchical processing, and when some newcomers master the real technology, our team will really grow." ”

"Management problem...... Su Li thought about it slightly in his heart for a while, and then said: "Is there any way to solve the management problem?" ”

Yao Qi thought for a while and said: "That is, from some companies to try to tap some talents, the special effects team is different from ordinary companies, ordinary people are not qualified for this kind of management work at all, and can only let some experienced people take on it." It's just that it's really hard to find such people, and many people are loyal to their company, and they don't have so much time to train a few from scratch......"

"Huh......" Su Li suddenly said: "When you say this, I remember, my friend told me a few days ago that a person used to be a manager of a post-processing team, and then he was forced to leave that team because of his different views and ideas from the people above, and now he is idle at home...... I can't remember what you just said. ”

Su Li's friend is naturally Lu Zhongfei, and Lu Zhongfei has now promised to share resources with him, so he naturally told Su Li a lot of places he could reach. Now it's really a matter of what you want, and with that manager, the 'Burning Shadow Effect Studio' will be able to expand even further.

"That's fine! I'll see him tomorrow. Yao Qi also laughed easily: "Now I find out that you are really powerful." ”

Su Li smiled mysteriously and said, "Then the backbone of the company is basically fine, right?" He asked about the other seven people in the studio this time, although these people were also at the top level in China. But it is a little worse than the technical level of Yao Qi and Li Xian, and one of the purposes of doing special effects work for "Red Cliff" this time is to bring these people out.

This time it was Li Xian who replied: "There is no problem...... The remaining seven people have no problem becoming the backbone of the technology after learning and doing at the same time, and if the studio expands, they can also be responsible for bringing in new people, so that our technology can gradually form a system. ”

This time they did bring out the other seven people, and because Li Xian and Yao Qi had an overwhelming advantage in technology, the two of them were also unanimously obeyed by the others. In such an emerging company and at the technical level, technology is king, and whoever has good technology is the boss, not to mention that these two people are also the two major shareholders of the studio.

It's just that now Yao Qi and Li Xian's sense of crisis is getting stronger and stronger - the remaining seven people were originally representatives of the top level of the domestic special effects industry, and what can bring them together is the pursuit of advanced technology. If this continues, the gap between them and Yao Qi and Li Xian will become smaller and smaller, and in this way, the two of them may not be able to suppress the scene.

The solution to this crisis is for the master and apprentice to study new technologies as soon as possible, strengthen their technical literacy, and form that absolute advantage.

Therefore, after Yao Qi waited for Li Xian to finish saying this sentence and Su Li nodded slightly, he said to Su Li with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Su Li...... What about the technology you talked to us about? The studio's next goal is to use this technology. ”

Fortunately, Su Li was prepared, and he did not hesitate to take out the technology for the two people from his bag, and the two of them saw that Su Li was so refreshing, and quickly received it in his hand, and immediately began to look at it feverishly.

"Great...... After watching some of them, Li Xian raised his head and said to Su Li, "I really don't know where your technique came from...... I bet that even the United States does not have such advanced special effects technology, and with this technology...... We can even directly cross the technical distance of five or six years! Li Xian's face was full of excitement, this sentence was just a casual question, and he just finished talking and buried his head in those things.

Su Li smiled slightly, looking at the fanatical master and apprentice and did not interrupt them, in his opinion, a technician must have such a fanaticism, and if he does not have that kind of pursuit of technology, he cannot be called a qualified technician.

This set of technology is a continuation of the previous set, the previous set is mainly to realize the transformation process between the virtual and the real, and now the technology that Su Li gave them is to further refine that reality!

He has watched the original "Avatar" and "Rise of the Ape Ball", the extremely delicate Avatar and the gorillas who are meticulous in all the details from action to expression, these two movies are to further refine the conversion from virtual to real!

Of course, one of the most critical technologies involved in these two movies is called motion capture technology, but the premise of motion capture technology is those meticulous model building, and now Su Li is giving the two people that model and real refinement technology.

Moreover, such technology is even ahead of "Rise of the Ape Ball"! Although Su Li is giving the two people technology, he is actually laying the foundation for his future plans.

The next step for the two people will be the most critical motion capture technology, of course, it will take a long time, after all, there are no conditions for motion capture now, and they can't afford the equipment money alone.

The top priority is to gradually refine what you have now and slowly consolidate your foundation.

The next day, Su Li and Yao Qi also met the management talent introduced by Lu Zhongfei to Su Li. Su Li didn't have anything to say in this regard, basically just listened to Yao Qi's opinion, Yao Qi inspected this person named Yang Shao from many aspects, and was quite satisfied.

In terms of Yang Shao, he has a huge similarity with Su Li and Yao Qi in terms of ideology, so he quickly admitted to the 'Burning Shadow'. After all, he is also a person in the special effects industry, and naturally he has heard a lot about the 'Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio', which has become famous in China in the past few days, and on the basis of several factors, he quickly agreed to join the Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio.

With Yang Shao, a management talent, the shelf of the studio has really been propped up!

The main person in charge of the technical department is Yao Qi and Li Xian, Yao Qi is also responsible for part of the management, Yang Shao is the person in the management department, and he is still taking two college students. In addition, some miscellaneous positions in the studio have also found candidates. The composition of these people is basically an experienced old man with a few college students or newcomers, and in this way, the shelves of the Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio are also completely built!

Since February 16th, the Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio has begun the process of absorbing talents, and now the studio is getting better and better, and there are people in charge of many aspects. This time, they recruited a total of 24 technicians, bringing the studio's technicians to 33, which can already take on many special effects production tasks.

However, of the 24 people recruited, only nine of them could start actual combat immediately after a certain amount of training, and the other 15 people also included six recent college graduates, and some others also lacked a foundation and needed more training.

In this way, the company is also divided into two groups, and 15 of them can take on the task of producing high-end special effects for a film by themselves. The rest of the people will lead other technicians to make some commercials, MVs and other special effects to slowly level up and improve their abilities.

These works have consumed a lot of funds, and the company's reserve funds are already insufficient, but fortunately, the reputation of the Burning Effect Studio in China is quite good, and their equipment is mortgaged, so they borrowed some loans from the bank to cope with the current situation.

In any case, the Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio is completely on the right track, and everyone is full of vigor and new challenges!

From the end of February, Burning Shadow Special Effects Studio will be responsible for the production of special effects for "Painted Skin", and will continue to play a mainstay role in it.
