"Mike, can these special effects scenes be handled at the current level of Starry Sky Digital?"

"Boss, I think it's no problem, the night scene of the city in Chongqing in 1946, as long as there are photos of that era as a reference, our side can be perfectly produced, including the combat scenes of naval ships and air force aircraft."

"Of course, if the other party asks for absolute realism, then it still needs to be done in the digital field."

A foreigner with blonde hair and light blue eyes answered Sun Yi in a combination of Chinese and English language.

Mike is currently the special effects director in the digital field, and he is also the special effects assistant arranged by Sun Yi in the digital field to connect with him when he filmed "Shelter".

Previously, Star acquired the digital field, and as a person who had cooperated with Sun Yi, he belonged to the talents who actively approached the new owner of Star. This time, after nearly half a year of training, the staff of the starry sky special effects department returned to China and officially established Starry Sky Digital, and Mike directly offered to work in China and was promoted to deputy director of film special effects production.

Just now, Sun Yi was understanding the strength of the current or inner starry sky numbers, and saw if he could independently complete the special effects task of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".

Chen Xiaoze, the original head of the special effects department of Starry Sky, did not come back, but was still in the digital field in the United States, while participating in management and further study, and at the same time, he was also responsible for the continuous study of special effects students in China to the United States.

Sun Yi hopes to use this method to gradually take all the technology into his own hands.

At present, the official establishment of Star Digital is the first step, which will carry out a certain degree of independent special effects production tasks, and at the same time expand the scale to undertake the special effects rendering and synthesis division of labor in the digital field of Hollywood.

Speaking of which, the rendering and synthesis of special effects, in fact, there is not much technical difficulty, as long as there is the corresponding software, the rest is to look at the hardware level of the computer and the proficiency of the staff, which belongs to the lowest-end, water grinding kung fu work.

However, because of the personnel investment and the large amount of time required, nearly half of the cost of a movie's special effects is based on this.

Therefore, Sun Yi moved this business back to China in line with the principles of rational use of resources, reducing costs and improving efficiency.

You must know that the rendering and synthesis of special effects, a college student majoring in computer science, only needs to train for a few months, which is nothing more than slower efficiency.

However, the average annual salary of an American programmer in 09 is about 80,000 US dollars, which is 550,000 RMB, and ten talents of the same level are recruited in China, and there is still a surplus.

In China at the moment, 4 or 5,000 yuan a month, sitting in the office, and the air conditioner blowing, is definitely a decent and high-paying job.

As for high-end technology, he also wants to directly engage in special effects research and development, 3D production or something, but the level gap is too big, and it is not something that can be learned by studying for a year and a half.

Isn't the same true for China's manufacturing industry, starting from the low-end, running in small steps, and mastering the core technology little by little.

Sun Yi thought about it and felt that a movie like "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" should not focus on special effects scenes, as long as there is no obvious goofs and no delays, the problem should not be big, and then said to Mike:

"Let Starry Sky Digital make a first version first, and I'll look at it when the time comes."

“ok，boss。”

"By the way, the special effects requirements of "Pacific Rim", you can see it, can the starry sky number be here?"

“no、no、no”

Mike shook his head again and again after listening to half of his words, and then said to Sun Yi with a wry smile:

"Boss, you asked in the script to be on par with the level of Transformers, not to mention the starry sky numbers, for the digital field, it is a big job."

Sun Yi nodded a little depressedly, and knew that his idea seemed a little whimsical, but he was still a little unwilling, it was not a matter to do rendering and synthesis all the time, he had to do some big projects to improve his level, and then asked without giving up:

"What if we let the people on the side of Starry Sky Digital give a hand to the digital realm in "Huantai" and cooperate with each other?"

Mike stroked his curly hair and explained in embarrassment: "Boss, I understand your idea, I want to make the personnel of Star Numbers improve in practice, but the problem is that the special effects requirements of "Huantai" are too high, and the people here can't learn anything at all, and in the end, they still do rendering and compositing. ”

"If you want to learn in practice, I suggest that you choose a movie with relatively low special effects requirements, so that people on the side of Starry Sky Digital will have the opportunity to actually operate."

Sun Yi nodded slowly, Mike said such a truth, but where to find such a movie for a while, he still has a main theme movie this year, and he didn't find a good book.

It's hard!

Just as the two were discussing the special effects with each other, there was a sudden knock on the door of Sun Yi's office.

"Enter."

Liu Xiaowei walked in briskly with a document.

"Brother Yi, it's exposed."

"What is exposed?"

"Look." Liu Xiaowei flipped through the folder, took out a printed screenshot of the news report and pointed it out to Sun Yi.

"Sohu Entertainment": "The reporter of this site has verified through multiple interviews and verifications that director Sun Yi is planning to open a new era of Chinese science fiction films. ”

Damn, this title is quite bluffing.

This is Sun Yi's first impression after reading it, he smiled secretly in his heart, and then continued to read the next content.

"The day before yesterday, the reporter found that there were two different buildings next to the Huairou China Film Digital Film and Television Production Base, at first the reporter thought it was a studio belonging to China Film, but after investigation, it was learned that it was an independent studio under Star Image."

"The reporter of this site explored it and found that its comprehensive area and technical level are completely in line with Hollywood, and even have reached the level of the first studio in Asia."

Please look at the pictures

"At the same time, it also has the largest area of deep-water studio in Asia and even the world."

Please look at the pictures

"In the course of the investigation by the reporter of this station, I also saw the existence of a cockpit similar to a large mecha."

Please take a look at the pictures

"It is reported that the cockpit of the mecha can simulate a variety of anthropomorphic actions such as walking and fighting, according to the speculation of the reporter on this site, this cockpit with a height of about 6 meters should be the head position of the mecha, so it can be inferred that the entire mecha should be no less than 60 meters, several times that of the Autobots in the Transformers."

"At present, there is no further information about the film, but the author has been assessed by professionals that the overall cost of the cockpit in the photo alone will not be less than 10 million yuan, and the author has learned that such a cockpit star plan to build no less than three, which shows the investment in this film."

"At the same time, you can also see Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and other well-known directors in the photo, I don't know what role they will play in the preparation of this film, whether they want to work together to create the first domestic hardcore sci-fi blockbuster, the author is looking forward to it."

"Finally, to sum up, Chinese films have always been known as a sci-fi desert, and the author will not comment on this, but from the author's personal point of view, I very much hope that Sun Yi, a representative of the new generation of young directors, will carry the banner of Chinese sci-fi films, and I also hope that he can give the majority of Chinese sci-fi fans a seemingly distant dream."

"This site will further dig into the relevant information of this movie and the next actions of Star Image, please look forward to the latest reports."

Putting down the printed document, Sun Yi smashed his mouth, his expression was a little rich.

Let's say I'm angry, I can't talk about it, but after all, I was secretly photographed, and I felt a little uncomfortable, looking at the pictures, it was obviously taken in the crowd of visitors that day, and I don't know how the reporter got in.

Let's say it's happy, it's not like, although this is a wave of free publicity that didn't cost a penny, but after all, it didn't go according to his plan, it was more or less an accident, and it was quite helpless.

Turn on your computer and look at the relevant online reviews.

I rubbed it, it was really a stone that shocked a thousand waves.

The entire film and television entertainment sector is full of this news.

"Starry Sky is going to make a science fiction movie, is it really fake?"

"It's awesome to look at this picture, we can also shoot science fiction in China?"

", eighty percent of it is false propaganda again, eye-catching, alas, Sun Yi's thick eyebrows and big eyes also did this."

"I don't believe it, just our current group of film directors, can we make it, don't waste it."

"Ditto, I also think I should wash and sleep, but if it is Sun Yi, I still have a little expectation."

Tuk-tuk

There was a sharp knock on the door.

"Enter."

Xiaoting also trotted in.

"Brother Yi, the door of our company has been blocked by reporters again."

Hiss. Why do you say it again?
