About 60 miles from London, about an hour and a half drive from Oxford, Xia Qingyu and his party arrived at OML in the northwest of the city center.

Xia Qingyu, Yang Wei, and Yang Wei's assistant general manager in the UK branch, a local British girl Grace. It may not be appropriate to say that a girl is a 28-year-old professional woman, with a cold and businesslike look, even in the face of the company's big boss, it is polite to keep a distance.

Grace's previous position in the position of assistant to the president of an SNS (social networking site) company called NetFace in the United Kingdom was also achieved, and the assistant and the secretary are two different things, and the importance of the two cannot be compared. The latter is to carry out the most basic work arranged by the superior, while the former is to assist the superior to complete the work of the superior.

Yang Wei values her team management skills, as well as her excellent employee motivation and presentation skills......

There are companies all over the world that draw pies, and the difference is the difference between the size of the painting and whether it can be achieved later.

It's just that it has always been difficult for first-class Internet companies to emerge in Europe, unlike a single huge market such as China and the United States, although Europe is an EU, it is still a market with dozens of different cultures, policies, and even languages. Not only do you have to meet the local rules and systems of each country, but also the norms of the European Union...... You've been in business for a few years, gaining hundreds of thousands of users in your home country, and then you've had to localize in more than 20 languages to promote it to other countries...... Moreover, Europeans have always been more conservative, perhaps because the welfare is too good, or maybe because they are not enterprising enough, and investors are often willing to invest money only after seeing the possibility of real profits.

These are the fatal wounds of European Internet companies.

When "The Origin of Everything" was released in Europe before, it was Activision's third-party translation team in more than a dozen languages that helped Qingyu Network complete the language localization, and they already had mature offline sales channels in EU countries, otherwise the sales myth of "The Origin of Everything" might have come later.

The reception of Xia Qingyu is the general manager of OML, which is also Fisoa is now a little famous, OML this company has reached cooperation with enterprises in more than 30 countries and regions around the world, selling products and technology, general partners, not important customers are the level of marketing director to receive.

While "The Origin of Everything" held the No. 1 spot in the UK game software sales list in January and February, Fisoa is now a company that has a certain popularity among the UK gamer community, not to mention ...... Behind this company is also the huge Chinese market.

Whether it is in the field of games, film and television, or animation, this is the first time that a company from China has contacted OML, so naturally we can't afford to slack off.

So General Manager Myers also rushed back from the U.S. branch to personally greet and lead the Fisoa team to visit their local studios, cameras, equipment, supporting software and tools, and introduce relevant technical support.

I also watched some examples of how the Vicon motion capture system worked in some of the most well-known movies and games.

To be reasonable, this company and this system are quite famous in the industry, and many people's first reaction is "awesome", and the second reaction is "really expensive......

Xia Qingyu is very impressed with this system, especially in terms of scalability, there is no upper limit to motion capture cameras, as long as you can afford so many cameras, it can completely realize multi-person interaction at the same time, enmity and feud between rivers and lakes, sect disputes, so that the battle scenes of multiple people can be directly realized, seamless "long shot"...... There is no need to ask Ye Shenxi, Xia Qingyu thinks it is cool when he thinks about it.

There are also well-established hand and face solutions, both of which are solved in this set of devices. The expressions of the characters in the game, the sword during the battle or the handprint when brewing moves, and even in some scenes, the characters talk about guarding the guzheng and blowing a suona song, ensuring that the hands that the player sees will not be playing the piano indiscriminately, absolutely professional, and the rhythm is consistent.

Technology is so good...... Although I have learned a lot from the information collected below, during the demonstration, the excellent data conversion speed and accuracy still shocked Xia Qingyu, and naturally it will not be revealed.

A complete system, and then 40 Vicon T5 professional capture cameras, the price of the complete set is about 8.8 million yuan.

Xia Qingyu gave Yang Wei a look, which means OK, the price, the specific contract details or something, you come down and grind slowly.

……

Beijing Film and Television Academy, in the main teaching building, there are still 10 minutes before the class time, and the students are basically all here, and the teacher has not yet come.

Compared with ordinary undergraduates, the refresher course is actually more intense, because it almost compresses the four-year undergraduate course into one year and two semesters to complete, so Monday to Friday is basically full, and students are also required to study for one year on time.

Not only that, this refresher course is actually only for film, television system practitioners or related literary and artistic groups and film and television companies, advertising company staff, and requires a college degree or above, if it is a non-related practitioner, but has great enthusiasm for the film and television industry, the academic requirements will be upgraded to a bachelor's degree or above.

All in all, not everyone can enter, here and the Beijing Film and Television Academy are completely shared faculty, and the teachers who teach are also powerful people who have been in the front line of creation and teaching for many years, bringing their own experience to the classroom, in the true sense of "dry goods".

And the tuition fee is really not low, more than 50,000 yuan a year, paid at one time at the beginning of the semester, even if the certificate of completion itself has no gold content, and the undergraduate and graduate degrees are not comparable at all, but there is still a natural threshold that many people can't get in if they want to.

However, Ye Shenxi naturally does not belong to the category of "many people", young entrepreneurs, social celebrities, the industry's top senior game producers, and well-known Internet celebrities on the Internet...... Not to mention......

Qingyu Network also sponsored 2 million yuan to Beijing Film and Television Academy in the name of the company to support the school's teaching, academic research, and teaching equipment purchase.

I'm sorry, but you can really do whatever you want with money.

The students at the desks are chatting and are all members of the community, and for many people who come here to study, the value of accumulating contacts here may not be less than the study of professional knowledge.

"Lao Zhao, I heard that a new person is coming today, do you know?" A young woman of about 30 years old turned her head to talk to another middle-aged man in her early thirties.

Li Rong, the nominal class leader of No. 80 in this refresher class, and the assistant director of the film division of Huayi Brothers, a top film and television production company in China, is ready to return after a year of study and start taking over the entire department.

"I heard, when did this come, I just came over, and it was almost a month since the second half of the semester started, and it wasn't such a late way to be late." Lao Zhao has his own advertising company, which is also well-known in the capital.

"Don't talk about it, you two." A young man next to him, at first glance, said to a small white-collar worker: "If you can allow him to follow up at this time, I want to know that it is not an ordinary person, if it is an ordinary person, wait for next year." ”

"Of course, I'm afraid that either there is a little power in the family, or some friendship with some leader of the school, maybe he is already a famous person, anyway, he can't be an ordinary person."

"I guess most of them gave a lot of sponsorship to this school."

That's true......

While a few people were still chatting, today's teacher, Feng Xiaoning, led a young man who looked to be about twenty-four or five years old into the classroom.

This is the faculty of the Beijing Film and Television Academy, an outstanding representative of the fifth generation of Chinese directors, a national first-class director, and a representative of the war trilogy works "Red River Valley", "Yellow River Love", "Purple Sun", as well as "Hands Up" and "Beiyang Sailor" These are all works that have left their names in the history of Chinese film.

Beijing Film and Television Academy often has such famous teachers coming to class, usually they are industry bigwigs who have graduated from this school themselves, and it is normal to be invited to come back to class when they are free. In addition to such well-known directors, there are also the principals of the school itself, senior party officials, professors and so on, and this refresher class is not just a name.

"Teacher Feng." The students greeted the teacher one after another, it was not the first time they had seen Feng Xiaoning, they were all characters with social experience, and they were not the kind of young people who had just entered the school or society, they all seemed more natural.

"Introduce you to a new classmate." Feng Xiaoning looked at Ye Shenxi: "It's not from the performance department...... Tsk, the image is really good, but it's really our director department, who will talk about the director department in the future......"

"Looks." There is a reminder from the students below.

"Ah yes, appearance, who dares to say that our director department is not as good as the acting department."

"Mr. Feng, you are a ...... graduated from the Department of Fine Arts" Li Rong obviously has a good relationship with Feng Xiaoning, they have been in contact with each other in their previous work, and now they have the friendship of teachers and students, and they can joke and joke.

"Didn't you become a director later, saying that there was a problem with our director department?"

"No problem, no problem." The students waved their hands.

"This is a new student today, and I will finish this semester with you, why don't you introduce yourself? Mr. Ye. ”

"Teacher Feng, it's okay if you call me Xiao Ye."

Feng Xiaoning himself also thinks it's weird to call a twenty-five-year-old young man, he doesn't know much about games and the Internet, but the school leaders introduced him to this Ye Shenxi, the owner of a top domestic game company, when will the old guy introduce a student in a refresher class, it seems that this person is really unusual.

But since Ye Shenxi said so, he also went down: "Okay, Xiaoye, haha, supper......"

Ye Shenxi is also sweating, Mr. Feng, you are too lively......

"Hello everyone, my name is Ye Shenxi, I am a game-maker, it's a pleasure to meet everyone."

Very brief.

There was still a burst of applause under the podium, and Mr. Feng was called "Mr. Ye", and everyone still had to give face.

"Is it Mr. Pasca Ye of the herring fish network?" In the applause that was neither perfunctory nor warm, the young white-collar worker just now interjected weakly.

"Hello, it's me." I didn't expect to be recognized in the director's version, if some offline game exhibition such as CGS and the like were recognized, Ye Shenxi had nothing to say, how could there be Internet addicted teenagers in the director......

"Ah, hello, Mr. Ye." This young man was originally the youngest of the 80 people in this class, and now it was Ye Shenxi's turn to be titled.

Then some of the people around him even stepped forward, probably to ask what kind of company Qingyu Network is, it seems to be quite famous in the Internet industry?

Just a very simple introduction, and then Feng Xiaoning asked Ye Shenxi to find a vacant seat to sit down and start his own teaching.

"We continue to talk about the use of art color in the film, in the art of modern film, color has long ceased to be the realism of objective things, and also has a strong modeling and narrative function, and even through the original exaggeration and falsification, bold use, will also become an overall symbol and expression of the meaning of the factor, so as to set off the environment, express the theme, shape the character image ......"

After all, it was a strong insertion halfway, and Ye Shenxi was still a little blind, so he had to work hard to keep up with the teaching progress.

Luckily, the first lesson he took was what he found useful in the game.

There are several things he wants to learn most when he comes to this study, such as the use of lenses, character building, narrative structure, and color meaning.

Not all games will use this knowledge, but there is one genre that can be called "interactive cinema", and another game producer has raised the threshold and height of the genre to another level, starting with his Metal Gear Solid series.

In an era when all kinds of exquisite CG have begun to proliferate, this man uses his deep understanding of movie shots, the rendering of characters, and the ability to tell stories, through the editing and arrangement of real-time game screens, he can make people exclaim the arrival of the "interactive movie" game era.

Even before that, Soni had titles like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy on her PlayStation that tried to add cinematic elements to the game, but no one had been able to reach such new heights as Metal Gear Solid.

Blurring the lines between movies and games.

Well, that man is called Hideo Kojima, and what he brings to the game industry stems from his love of movies since he was a child.

And the game itself also has an advantage that movies can never achieve, interacting with characters, props, and maps in the game world, changing the direction of the story, and changing the fate of the characters.

Ye Shenxi also wanted to do that, and said to the players, come, I want to tell a story, you come to listen, watch, and feel.

It's not that you have to add movie elements to the game, it's a weapon, and you can decide to use it yourself or not to use it after you have it.

……

Ye Shenxi listened very carefully to this class, and the attitude of adults in class was not the same as that of "professional" students, because it was the content he was interested in, the knowledge he wanted to absorb, and the purpose of learning was not for exams.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, assistant director of Huayi Brothers Film Division, Li Rong, the nominal squad leader of this class, but no one seems to really regard me as a leader, ha." During the recess, Ye Shenxi was still sorting out the notes and related materials on his laptop, and the squad leader Li Rong came up and stretched out his right hand to him.

"Hello, Herring Net, Ye Shenxi." There is nothing to hide, and besides, the other party has also reported to his home, Ye Shenxi also stood up and shook hands with the other party.

Li Rong also secretly checked the information of Qingyu Network when she was in class just now, she didn't know much about the Chinese game industry, but it was still a bit of a try, and Shengda, Tenghua, Huang Yi and other Jianghu bigwigs also knew about it. I was shocked when I checked it, this Qingyu Network turned out to be a company of the same grade as those giants, this is still a start-up, founded for a year and a half, but the current investment community has a valuation of more than 1 billion US dollars, and it is a standard "unicorn" company......

Two bosses, or boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

Is it so scary...... Why do such people come to the seminary......
