After talking about external troubles, let's talk about internal worries.

There are also official subsidies in China, but unfortunately, the subsidies are given to the producers.

The special effects industry can only be "honored, but related".

In addition to this factor, the bigger reason is the producer.

In the words of those who work in the special effects industry, it is the norm to reduce time, increase live, and not increase price.

For example, the two parties negotiated to deliver the materials in March and deliver them in September.

During this period, the special effects company had to vacate all the production staff to work on the project.

The producer's material is often delivered late, but the delivery date is based on the film's promotional release point and will not be delayed.

In this way, it can only be the special effects company that is squeezed, the time is shortened, the price is the same, and the cost increases, resulting in many special effects companies being unable to operate the more they go to the back.

The final payment is also a big problem, and even a few years ago, the final payment of the special effects contract for domestic TV dramas was given to Party A for free, and few special effects companies could collect it.

Such unspoken rules in the industry further compress the living space of special effects companies.

……

Not only that, but some gray income processes in the film and television industry, producers and directors profit from the budget, and some of them will encroach on special effects fees.

The money that should be spent and should not be spent was spent before the film and television works were completed, and the special effects company that was originally promised 20 million was 20 million, but only 10 million may be left in the end.

The materials were given late, and the pre-shooting was bad, and it all relied on the post-production company to wipe the butt.

It's okay to work more, but when the special effects company asks the producer for more money, it often says that the budget is gone, the brothers will help, and the next movie will come to you and compensate you.

When it comes to the next part, the same thing will happen again.

This is the status quo of the domestic special effects industry, which is not highly industrialized and industrialized.

The special effects company has little work time, a lot of work, and no more money, which inevitably seems a little bitter haha.

……

The most helpless thing for many domestic special effects practitioners is that whether it is the outflow of projects or the participation of more competitors, it is a normal market behavior, which is understandable.

However, domestic producers are often willing to spend more budget funds on inviting traffic stars, and the cost of special effects production has been repeatedly compressed.

Although the level of domestic special effects is poor, it is far from the "five-cent special effects" in the audience's mouth.

It's just that the reality doesn't allow for better special effects.

Time is tight, money is scarce, and everyone has to support their families, so it is impossible to generate electricity for love.

……

Except for the top few domestic special effects companies, which are in a slightly better situation, the rest of the small special effects companies have a very difficult living environment.

They often participate in the production of projects of large companies and earn little money.

China is already the second largest movie box office in the world, and it will continue to increase in the foreseeable future.

Many companies in the film and television industry will continue to gather in China and gradually become the center of the market, and at the same time, it is also a cost depression.

In this market environment, in short, China really has the objective conditions to become a global film special effects production center.

However, on the one hand, the development of the special effects industry is informal, and on the other hand, there is an extreme lack of special effects production talents.

Whether we can seize the opportunity to mature the development of the special effects industry requires many companies to work hard subjectively.

……

Lu Yu used to mourn the domestic special effects industry, and like many people, he sprayed too many times.

It is not until I have a complete understanding of the current situation of these industries that I know that the previous cognition is too one-sided.

To put it bluntly, this is not just a matter of the special effects industry, but a matter of the entire domestic film and television industry.

The producer is the boss, the capital is the father, and the others are the little brothers, and they have to rely on Party A to eat.

Want to easily stand and earn money?

Inexistent.

There is no such soil at all.

Last time Chen Xiaofei said that he wanted to engage in a film and television company, Lu Yu also joked that the water in this circle was very deep.

I didn't expect it to be more than just the depth of the water, it was simply a quagmire.

……

Lu Yu didn't have the idea of wading into the swamp.

The special effects software was just a whim idea for him to fulfill his promise to another civilization.

Even the special effects company after the acquisition is ready to be stocked, and you still expect him to go deeper?

However, stocking is free-range, and it is still necessary to properly manage it when it is time to manage.

For example, the renderer that once promised Chen Xiaofei.

Lu Yu is ready to add the previously completed compression algorithm to the company's newly developed renderer, which can effectively compress the time for rendering materials.

I believe that with this compression renderer, no matter how difficult it is for the special effects company, it can still get a good living space.

This compression renderer, Lu Yu is not ready to open source.

He is not stupid, he will open source now, and it is estimated that the domestic special effects industry will develop and face more difficult external competition.

He took the source code of the renderer with Ge Yuncong and left the company with the security personnel.

……

When he got home, Lu Yu turned on the computer, adjusted the computer programming environment, and began to view the source code of the entire renderer.

In fact, when it comes to renderers, we have to talk about the Arnold renderer.

This renderer, in Lu Yu's view, is a great product that really promotes the progress of rendering technology from the academic level on Blue Star.

To put it simply, many of the algorithms it has developed are used by almost all renderers on Bluestar.

Including Lu Yu also learned.

The matter of the program ape, how can it be said to be plagiarized, right?

Arnold was arguably ushering in a whole new era of physically-based shading in the industrial world.

Although it is relatively slow to render, it is mainly designed and developed for massive geometry and textures, large-scale production, and high-investment first-line movie special effects.

The feature is that by optimizing the data storage method, it can effectively render massive data, of course, at the cost of sacrificing performance and slowing down.

Arnold is a built-in renderer for Maya effects because of its ease of use, stability, and suitability for large-scale film effects projects.

Since there are these excellent points, why can't they be directly borrowed?

Everything is redesigned and developed, and he Lu Yu is not idle.

……

The renderer developed by Yunhan Technology can be said to combine the advantages of most renderers on the market.

Not only can you customize the output, but you can also support even rendering, and you can optimize the camera distance parameter by default, and you can also save memory loss.

Motion blur lakes, node topology, texture caching, SSS point cloud algorithms, blazing-fast ray tracing, new ray acceleration architectures, massive polygon displacement systems, physics-based materials and lighting systems, and more.

It is also highly optimized in these aspects, and can be said to be more comprehensive and advanced than the renderers on the market.

Lu Yu took a general look at it and felt that this renderer was good enough, and it could also occupy a great advantage when it was open sourced.

As for the renderer he will optimize next, it will be left to Phantom Digital.

Your own children, of course, should eat better.

……

Lu Yu backed up once and began to optimize the renderer.

In the final analysis, the quality of the renderer is determined by the algorithm.

The renderer of Yunhan Technology was originally programmed and developed according to Lu Yu's ideas, and many of the algorithms in it were also the general framework proposed by Lu Yu.

Now the content that Lu Yu can optimize is all small details, and the overall adjustment is not big.

Of course, the most important thing is to incorporate the previously developed compression algorithm.

That's the essence of an optimized renderer.

Originally, the rendering speed of the renderer developed by Yunhan Technology is not bad compared with the one on the market.

Now coupled with the compression algorithm developed by Lu Yu alone, the rendering speed will be exponentially accelerated.

This means that it takes others 6 hours to render the same material, while Phantom Digital can be completed in about 1 hour.

If with such a competitive advantage, Phantom Digital can't make a difference in the domestic special effects industry, then Lu Yu can only tear up and change the management all over again.

……

Again, when programming, time flies unnoticed.

For four or five days in a row, Lu Yu was addicted to the world of code.

After all, although the name is Renderer, which sounds simple, it contains more than one or two algorithms.

Even though Lu Yu is only optimizing, he has to come one by one.

In this way, it took another four days for Lu Yu to optimize all the algorithms and add the compression algorithms.

Finally, the compression renderer is encrypted and encapsulated multiple times and stored on a separate hard disk.

This hard drive is dedicated to installing the renderer at that time, and all the installed renderers are to prevent copying, and it is difficult to even crack it.

In other words, the compression renderer installed on the computer can only be used, and no code details can be viewed or copied away.

This hard disk and password, Lu Yu is going to find time to hand it over to Chen Xiaofei, let him keep it, and be responsible for the follow-up installation.

After all, he also has shares, and he is the only one who can be trusted by Phantom Technology.

……

Finally finished the work of compressing the renderer, and Lu Yu stood up and moved his muscles.

I went to the fridge and grabbed a pear, sat on a recliner by the small beach, and watched the latest news with my phone while eating.

It's December 14th, and nothing big has happened.

It's just that when Lu Yu flipped through it casually, he saw a message that made him feel a little emotional.

This news report said that just today, Mr. Yu Guangzhong died of illness at the age of 90.

Most people must be familiar with this old gentleman, right?

Everyone can still blurt out his poem: "Homesickness is a small stamp." ”

"The wine enters the bowels of Hao, seven points are brewed into moonlight, and the remaining three points are roared into sword qi, and when you spit it out, it is half of the Tang Dynasty."

"When your lover has changed her name to Mary, how can you send her a song "Bodhisattva Man"."

From his works, we can not only see nostalgia, but also the epitome of an era.

Lu Yu is not a literary youth, but he still has a lot of admiration for such a poet.

I used to read on the Internet that some people said that modern society is a desert of poetry.

Lu Yu can't quite understand that poetry is nothing more than a carrier of various human emotions.

A poem, if it can't resonate with people, will certainly not be noticed or even recited.

A true poet uses simple words to write about the feelings and emotions of most people.

Instead of bending the teeth, the curved high and the low.

Isn't modern poetry about simplicity, such as "the world is so big, I want to see it", it can also be regarded as poetry.

You see, isn't it written into everyone's hearts?

Therefore, most of the people who express their feelings about the desert are just hypocritical.
