Chapter 227 Late Issues
The so-called "background visualization" is a statement by Fan Zhe himself.
For example, the concept design drawing he just completed, needless to say the image of the protagonist and the heroic image in martial arts uniform. On the background of the picture where he punches and above the blurred audience stage, an avalanche scene occupies almost two-thirds of the whole picture background, which looks quite domineering.
Fan Zhe's handling of this is still very clever. The background of this avalanche scene blends well with the picture.
He sent the conceptual design drawings to the group of the art team and asked for some opinions. The feedback given by most people was still very good.
This is not kissing the boss.
Dimension Entertainment's corporate culture and team atmosphere are not good for this. Fan Zhe never puts on any leadership airs at work, and communicates with his subordinates very normally. And the whole team, from management to work, tends to be flat.
What's more, 'Boss Boss' seems to have almost become the company culture of 'Dimension Entertainment'. This matter was still led by that guy Zhong Hua.
After all, ‘Dimension Entertainment’ has seriously developed its own cultural style in terms of content production, talking about things when they have something to say, but not against people when it comes to things. In terms of production and design of works, if they feel bad, they just speak out.
Fan Zhe also experienced some conceptual design drawings he made, and after they were posted in the group, they were picked out by everyone.
For him, this is nothing, but a good way to improve. At the same time, gathering the strength of a team is of course more helpful for making better works.
Of course, due to the difference in level, sometimes there will be some people who put forward not-so-good suggestions, but Fan Zhe is not a fool, it is impossible to listen to all suggestions.
Speaking of the conceptual design of the "Background Visualization" completed by Fan Zhe, when everyone is basically satisfied, there will be no major problems.
But then someone asked a question.
"Boss, your drawing is indeed very good, but even if we draw it like this, they will make the corresponding synthetic animation in the post-production... Isn't it too difficult? I'm not those who don't believe in dimension technology, it's just... Even if it can be done, it will take a lot of energy, right?"
Fan Zhe was taken aback by the question raised by this person.
Of course his first reaction was to find it funny, others don't know about the 'dimension' system, Fan Zhe certainly knows it.
There is no way to do things that people can't think of. The 'dimension' system can't be made out of thin air, but as long as you can think of it, there is no problem.
However, that being said, there is always a practical factor.
In Fan Zhe's production plan, he expects to set up the crew within one month, complete the pre-shooting in three to four months, and finally complete the post-production in about two months.
Now, the construction of the crew is almost finished. Zhao Lin and Wang Zhicheng, the two assistant directors who have worked together before, are also working with Fan Zhe again. The two assistant directors have already started to go on location everywhere, and at the same time, the company's business department is also following up the related studio rental and location rental.
Fan Zhe will follow the plan for the subsequent shooting, and there shouldn't be any problems.
But post-production will be a problem, especially if it is to be done according to the design drawing he has given now.
The content of the theme story of "Martial Arts Master" is about the protagonist Lou Cheng's progress on the road of martial arts. At the same time, he starts from a small peripheral arena step by step, then competes in the National University Martial Arts Association, and then participates in professional leagues...
There is no doubt that the group arena will be a very important part of this work.
In the original novel, the fight in the arena is well written by the author. And this part of the charm, Fan Zhe does not want to throw away this feature after the film and television.
Therefore, it is necessary to do the fighting in the ring as well as possible.
"Background visual design" is currently an ideal approach, but its production is very difficult.
It's just that the difficulty is high, the main reason is that the quantity is also large.
In the case of a large number of group arenas, it means that this part of the special effects has to be done a lot.
It is difficult and requires a lot of production. Of course, the "dimension" system can be done, but the calculation will take time.
At present, the so-called 'dimension technology' is just a few servers.
The last time the machine was updated was a year ago. At that time, I bought a machine with good performance. Together with other machines, it was connected into a group through the "dimension" system to support the calculation of various projects in the company.
It has always been enough.
However, if the production of the more difficult "Martial Arts Master" is to be launched as scheduled, the existing equipment is not enough.
Fan Zhe plans to buy a few more machines, with a budget of about tens of millions. They will be used in parallel with the existing equipment, which should be able to meet the requirements of "Martial Arts Master" and more and more projects that Dimension Entertainment will carry out in the future. Use needs.
At the same time, he is still thinking about whether it is possible to build a supercomputer?
It is unrealistic to come up with something like 'Tianhe-2' or 'Shenwei Taihu Light'. The investment is too big, and it is not necessary for the time being.
However, building a supercomputing center of your own is only for personal use, and the problem does not feel too big.
In terms of technology, you can contact relevant technology manufacturers to do it. The most important aspect of money, 'Dimension Entertainment' should be able to afford it now.
This year is coming to an end, next year, can we build a supercomputing cluster for ourselves in a low-key manner?
With an investment of about 100 million yuan, Dimension Entertainment can afford it.
After thinking about it, Fan Zhe recorded this matter in his notes.
...
After issuing requirements to the entire art team and finalizing the design plan of "Martial Arts Master", Fan Zhe also met Ye Jiayi once.
Just asking for money.
The self-built supercomputer can be discussed later, but the most urgent thing is to buy a few machines for use first, which must be done.
Didn't say much, just said that the 'dimension technology' needed to use it, and Ye Jiayi approved the money.
I won't say much about buying the machine and putting it in the computer room.
Looking back, Fan Zhe began to shift his focus to the crew construction.
The two assistant directors, Zhao and Wang, have almost completed the investigation of the shooting location, but Fan Zhe will still go and have a look by himself later.
At the same time, the selection of actors is about to begin.
This time, the scale of the audition held by Dimension Entertainment was completely different from that of "Fantasy Three Kingdoms".

Finally came back from a business trip...
For a whole week, I ate up all the saved manuscripts, and was forced to take a day off. I just started typing when I got home today, and finally finished writing before twelve o'clock.
