Chapter 339: Dimensional Supercomputing Center
A year later, when "Amber 3" was still being updated online, the official Weibo of the People's Daily posted a short article.
[The world's best animation, made in China!] 】#The third season of "Amber Sword"#The animation work created by Dimension Entertainment, the third season of "Amber Sword", has recently become popular all over the world and has become one of the most popular animation works in the world, praising Made in China in the cultural industry! ”
As soon as I heard that when the official Weibo of the People's Daily mentioned "Amber", Fan Zhe was taken aback, for fear that the People's Daily would see that "Amber" was very popular and influential, so it would come to find trouble.
This is not uncommon.
On the contrary, when I heard that the People's Daily was actually praising its own works, I felt a little strange...... This kind of official media, when publishing something related to entertainment, such as an anime, film and television drama, in most cases, it must be criticized and praised? Unless it's the so-called 'leitmotif', it's very few.
However, after thinking about it later, Fan Zhe didn't think it was too strange.
This is not the first time, when he participated in the E3 exhibition in the United States, Fan Zhe also accepted an interview about CCTV for "Taiwu 2", and the results of the final interview were also on the evening news.
To be honest, from the establishment of Wedo Entertainment, until now, it seems that the government departments have really not bothered with Wedo Entertainment. On the contrary, it is cooperation, help and the like, but it gives a lot of money.
That's certainly a good thing.
In fact, for a company like Wedo Entertainment, which can complete the export of cultural works, the national government has never been too harsh. What's more, all the things made by Wedo Entertainment, except for the works derived from the IP of "Hell Apartment", which are a bit sidelined because they involve ghosts, the other works are all serious and right-going works. That is, there is nothing related to pornography, and it is even more impossible that there is anything that harms our party and involves politics.
There is no problem with his own works, and he has considerable influence at home and even abroad, and he is praised by the official media, how normal it is.
……
The success of "Amber Sword" has brought a lot of profits to Dimension Entertainment. And these benefits will eventually become nutrients for other projects.
For example, the project "Demon Hunting Notes", according to Ye Jiayi's idea, the investment of the project is estimated to come from "Amber Sword".
In fact, in the planning of Fan Ye and the others, since they have made the 'animation development department' independent, they must still hope that the animation department can carry out self-hematopoiesis. All the revenue generated by animation will eventually be reinvested in the development of animation projects.
Of course, in many cases, the development of animation projects does not need to spend so much money, and the rest of the funds can be used for the development of the company.
At present, there are many projects that Wedo Entertainment has opened at the same time. The evolutionary work that the 'dimensional system' needs to undertake has also become more complicated than at any time in the past.
In this case, Fan Zhe is ready to invest in the computer cluster that hosts the 'dimensional system' again.
Over the years, the computer cluster that carries the 'dimensional system' has been added several times, but with the development of the company and more and more projects, the performance of the computer cluster is still slowly becoming insufficient.
As a result, he recently had some new ideas in his mind: for example, to build a supercomputing center dedicated to Wedo Entertainment.
This idea has been in his mind for a long time, when he first got the 'dimensional system', he once fantasized that if he had an exclusive supercomputer in his hands, how awesome would it be?
At that time, of course, it was just a dream.
The investment required by a supercomputing center has been unaffordable for a long time in the past. Even if the company is developing very well, it is difficult to come up with so much money to do this at once.
It's a big project in the real right.
What's more, in the past, although there were many entertainment projects and the calculation work was relatively heavy, it was barely enough in terms of computer computing power at that time, at least there was no need to make a supercomputer.
With the change of the times, now, the time for the company to build a supercomputer is becoming more and more mature.
The company's projects are now more and more, this is still about the League of Legends two big special effects movies, has not yet entered the formal post-production, the 'dimension system' of the computer cluster, it has begun to seem a little difficult, looking back and waiting for the two works to be launched, and even said that the company is about to carry out a 3A game masterpiece project on the ground, it is foreseeable that the current computing performance will definitely not be enough.
At present, Wedo Entertainment has a real demand for supercomputers.
In terms of the investment required to build a supercomputing center, the current Wedo Entertainment will not be particularly difficult.
I found the company's technical department and did some accounting. Although they don't know how to build a supercomputer, they can contact the corresponding manufacturers with manufacturing capabilities. And in the end, the offer he got was not outrageous in Fan Zhe's opinion.
Fan Zhe invested about 300 million yuan in the initial stage. For the time being, I can get it up and use it together.
Of course, the things created by this scale of investment are not comparable to the creation of the world's top supercomputing such as 'Tianhe-2', but this 'dimensional supercomputing' does not need to serve the whole country like 'Tianhe-2'. 'Dimensional supercomputing' only needs to support its own company's computing work, and that is enough.
After all, this is to be equipped with a 'dimensional system', and confidentiality is definitely the first requirement, and even more important than performance. Under this premise, this newly built 'dimensional supercomputer', even in the off-season of development work and when such a large amount of computing is not needed, would rather be idle than rented to others.
This is just like Fan Zhe in the past, who would rather spend money to buy a machine than hand over the calculation work of the 'dimensional system' to some other commercial supercomputing centers. That's cost-effective and efficient, but there's almost zero secrecy.
I'd rather spend a little more than be safe.
However, before the construction of the unique supercomputing center of Wedo Entertainment, the company's work cannot be stopped.
In addition to investing a large amount of money in the construction of the supercomputing center, he still spent some money to upgrade the current computer cluster.
