After being acquired by Starry Sky, Tiangong Colorful Studio abandoned its original dilapidated studio and chose to move directly to Star's headquarters building.

Speaking of the 11 million used to purchase Tiangong Color, this price is actually a bit expensive at the moment.

Speaking of this studio, they don't have their own special effects software at the moment, and they don't have relevant technical patents, which means that they don't have a unique job in their hands, of course, this time period, the entire special effects circle in China is like this. It's just that the quality of the personnel is relatively high, and all of them graduated from digital media and other related majors in colleges and universities such as 211 and 985.

The work is fine and in place, so they have made a name for themselves in the current Chinese film and television circle.

Because of this, their profitability is good, although they can't take on big jobs, but small jobs continue, and they can earn one or two million in a year.

Therefore, the founder asked for a high price of 15 million yuan, and after several negotiations, it was sold at 11 million yuan.

After being acquired by the starry sky, the founder left with a few henchmen to manage, and the remaining technical talents all chose the starry sky to form the special effects department of today's starry sky imaging, as for the department director, Yang Fan did not choose to parachute from the starry sky, but selected a person with relatively high qualifications and popularity from the original Tiangong Colorful Studio to be in charge of the time.

It is the one in front of Sun Yi.

A pair of black-framed glasses, half-length hair, slightly dark eye bags, a thin figure, a plaid shirt and jeans, and a somewhat shy IT man with a smile.

Chen Xiaoze, aged 29, graduated from Huaxia University of Communication and Communication with a master's degree in digital media technology.

"Director Chen."

"Sun, Sun Dao. Mr. Sun. ”

Chen Xiaoze was a little nervous, he was promoted from a technical backbone to a department director, and he had not yet fully adapted.

"Don't be nervous, you can call it anything, it's been two months, and it's the first time I've come to the special effects department, so it's a little irresponsible."

Sun Yi shook hands with him, and at the same time, in order to relieve Chen Xiaoze's nervousness, he also blackened himself a little.

"It's nothing, I know you're busy filming."

"Oh, have you watched my movie, how do you feel?"

"After watching Mr. Sun, the monster special effects at the end of "Shelter" are fantastic."

Speaking of movie special effects, Chen Xiaoze said very neatly, and he was not nervous at all, but gave a thumbs up with envy.

"If you leave it to us, can you do it?"

Sun Yi has some good faith, and at the moment, he can be regarded as the ceiling of special effects in the mainland film and television industry, and he wants to know how much the gap between them and Hollywood's top special effects companies is.

Chen Xiaoze shook his head like a rattle and replied: "No, Mr. Sun, it's too bad." After speaking, he crossed his fingers with a sad face and explained to Sun Yi.

"The post-rendering and compositing are okay, this is the water grinding work, we are nothing more than slow efficiency, but the most critical 3D modeling, hair processing, particle fluid technology and 3D material mapping, we can't handle it, there is no software and hardware, and the relevant experience is also insufficient."

Chen Xiaoze still knows a lot about technical issues.

Sun Yi was also quite satisfied after listening to it.

It is an objective fact that there are gaps.

It's not terrible to be backward, it's terrible to know that you're backward and pretend not to see it.

He patted Chen Xiaoze's shoulder encouragingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be bread and milk, today, take me to meet you first." ”

"Okay, Mr. Sun, please."

The special effects department of the starry sky occupies a large studio with three standard offices, they are accustomed to this atmosphere of centralized work, and can communicate at any time, the most important thing is that at present, most of these 20 or so people do not have clear responsibilities, basically they do it when they have a job, maybe today this single is responsible for rendering, and tomorrow that single is responsible for synthesizing, quite a handicraft workshop, so it is more convenient to centralize the office.

"Bang bang."

After Chen Xiaoze walked into the workshop, he first clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to let go of the work at hand.

Leaning against the wall, a young man dressed in a geeky style took off his headphones and pouted and complained to Chen Xiaoze.

"Chen Tou, what's the matter, the list is here again? Didn't Xingkong say that he wanted to develop Huaxia's own special effects technology, it's been almost two months, and there is no movement, I really don't want to do this non-technical work. ”

Chen Xiaoze glanced at Sun Yi with some apologies, and found that the latter didn't mind, still smiling, and immediately turned around and pointed at the young man who had just spoken, and said:

"Zhao Xun, you kid has a lot of things, hurry up and shut your mouth for me."

Then he took a step back, got out of the way, and introduced to everyone: "This is Director Sun Yi, and he is also our boss, everyone applauds."

Before he could finish his introduction, two bespectacled girls in the workshop suddenly screamed.

"Ah, Professor Du!!"

Sun Yi smiled and waved his hand at everyone, "Hello everyone, I'm Sun Yi." ”

"Hello boss." "Mr. Sun is good." "Hello Professor." "The boss is so handsome."

Everyone had their names, and a few young people deliberately poked their heads behind Sun Yi, and then asked Sun Yi with a disappointed face:

"Boss, didn't our boss lady come, ask for an autograph?"

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed directly, but he didn't expect these young people to be unrestrained at all, and directly started joking with Liu Yifei.

After thinking about it, it should be so, the young people in front of them are basically just graduated college students, and the young ones are around twenty-five or sixteen. In addition, it also belongs to the profession of the programmed ape.,It has the attributes of a house.,It's natural to be harvested by the charm of your own girlfriend.。

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I had a meeting in the morning, she was a little tired, she was resting upstairs, waiting for the next time, okay, she will definitely meet everyone's wishes."

"Okay." "It's okay, Sister Fairy is not here, you can do it too!!"

“？！！”

Chen Xiaoze led Sun Yi to get to know everyone separately, and while signing a group photo, he also gave him a brief introduction, at present, there are 4 main groups in the special effects department, planning and design group, graphics processing group, rendering synthesis group, and the three-dimensional special effects development team responsible for the best technology Zhao Xun.

Sun Yi is very satisfied, especially the final 3D special effects development team, which proves that the special effects department is still very ambitious in terms of technology, which he especially likes.

In the end, he made a commitment to the entire VFX department.

"Let me tell you, first of all, about the future development of the company's special effects department, it must be on par with Hollywood, the company will start a science fiction film project with an investment of at least hundreds of millions of yuan next year, I guarantee that everyone has the opportunity to go to Hollywood's top special effects company for further study, and in the future, we will gradually give up similar to this kind of small list without level."

"The boss is awesome!" "Awesome!"

"Again, about everyone's treatment, wages will definitely rise, and your Director Chen told me that the nature of everyone's work is chaotic, and there are always times when you stay up late and work overtime. When I go back, I will tell Mr. Yang that I will arrange a few more lounges for you on this floor, and then make a rest hall for everyone, so that everyone can work happily and have no worries. ”

"Long live the boss." "It's amazing." "Thank you, Chen."

Chen Xiaoze was stunned at first after hearing this, he didn't remember mentioning it to himself, but later he saw that everyone was cheering, and even he thanked him.

Only then did I understand in my heart that Sun Yi was helping him, the interim director, win people's hearts, and I couldn't help but feel a little grateful.

Coming out of the special effects work hall, Sun Yi followed Chen Xiaoze to his office.

"Lao Chen, I have an idea."

"Mr. Sun, you say."

"I want to know if we can make a game at the current level of our special effects department."

Sun Yi just finished the meeting in the morning, ate hastily at noon, and then came directly to the special effects department, in addition to meeting these senior technicians, there is also the most critical thing, that is, the cash cow he just thought of at the meeting, the game.

As for how I came up with it, of course, it's because of Liu Yifei, Xiao Nizi has endorsed many games before.

In terms of what industry can have a relatively stable source of cash, and it is more suitable for an entertainment company like Starry Sky with film and television content production as the core, there is basically no other choice but games.

After hearing this, Chen Xiaoze groaned slightly, and also nodded.

As a student of digital media technology, he is no stranger to games, and even the special effects department currently has several game CG lists, but they are only 2D.

Of course, he still has to know about the specific type of game.

"Mr. Sun, the scope of the game is very extensive, what type are you talking about?"

"Well, browser games, puzzle casual web games based on SNS sites."

After speaking, Sun Yi thought about it, and he still recognized Chen Xiaoze, the interim director, so he simply stopped squeezing the toothpaste, and explained to him: "The company needs a stable source of cash, and I am currently more optimistic about web games, and the current question is whether the special effects department can produce it." ”

Chen Xiaoze nodded slowly, understood in his heart, organized his language slightly, and hurriedly replied to Sun Yi:

"Mr. Sun, as long as there is a specific game plan, I think our special effects department has this strength, according to what you said, puzzle casual games, then it itself will not be particularly complicated, and we have the graphics library, database, including game engine and testing software required for production."

After speaking, I was afraid that Sun Yi would not understand, so I explained it additionally.

"The game engine of the web game is actually similar to our special effects compositing software, which is applied to the compositing of the scene and the implementation of specific animations, and the difference is that some of the detailed program components, which are very easy to do, can be obtained."

"The only problem is that we don't have the editing software for the game, and we don't have a professional software engineer, so if we do it ourselves, it's not that we can't do it, it's just that."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoze scratched his head a little embarrassedly, laughed, and then continued: "We all learned programming when we were in school, but we have used it less in the past two years, and it is estimated that it will take some time to re-familiarize ourselves with it." ”

"Oh, by the way, you also need the front-end framework of the SNS website you mentioned, without the corresponding framework, it is useless for us to make it, we can only have fun by ourselves, unless we develop a separate website ourselves."

"Well, this is not necessary, the front-end framework is ready-made, and it is directly available."

Sun Yi took out an A4 from his pocket, with a small handwritten content on it, and asked while handing it to Chen Xiaoze: "This is my rough plan for the game, you see, how long will it take to make it?" ”

This is the game plan that Sun Yi recalled during the lunch break after the morning meeting, and it was not complicated in itself, and it was sorted out in more than ten minutes.

Chen Xiaoze took the paper and looked at it with a frown.

At first, I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, for fear that it would be something very complicated, beyond the technical level of the special effects department, and make him, the special effects director, lose face in front of the big boss.

After reading this, my heart suddenly stabilized.

Where is this complicated, it is obviously so simple that it explodes.

At the moment, he raised his eyebrows, and replied to Sun Yi with confidence: "Mr. Sun, this is no problem, if you finish the list at hand and don't take on new jobs, I am confident that it can be done within two months." ”

Hearing this, Sun Yi was also happy in his heart, he didn't know that the special effects studio could still make games, but he just felt that the web game was simple, and the special effects were also graphic, which should be the same, but I didn't expect it, it was really okay, it seems that the early acquisition of the special effects company is really unintentional.

"Lao Chen, if you hire a few more professional game software engineers, how much can the production cycle be reduced?"

Chen Xiaoze thought for a while and replied: "It should be at least halved, it's almost a month, this game is really too simple, it's not difficult, but"

Sun Yi looked at Chen Xiaoze and stopped talking, chuckled, and said, "If you have any ideas, just say it, don't hold it back."

"Mr. Sun, boss, can anyone play with this thing?"

Chen Xiaoze pinched the A4 paper and said with a sad face.

Obviously, he wasn't very optimistic about the game.

Chen Xiaoze didn't know that this plan was made by Sun Yi, otherwise, he wouldn't dare to ask like this, so he thought that this was the first task in the company received by the special effects department, or was it arranged by the boss himself, how to do it beautifully, he didn't want to make it in his own department in the end, and the response was mediocre after it was launched, although it had nothing to do with their special effects department, but it was not good.

But this, this game is so simple, he doesn't see any playability at all.

Sun Yi smiled and thought to himself.

It's over, and it's looked down upon.

It's no wonder that in the game industry, the people who make games and plan games are definitely not a wave of people.

Because I don't understand the psychology of players.

What game is this?

This is a game that takes the human psyche to the extreme.

It is the happy farm that was all the rage in China in the previous life.

It's late today, and there's still in the evening, so I'm asking for a monthly pass.
