"J.A.R.V.I.S., start a new CG project, we're going to scam money out of them," said Chen Mo as he knocked on the computer on his desk.
The computer screen lit up and J.A.R.V.I.S. said, "Alright. Are we still going to use real time graphics? "
Chen Mo shook his head, "Using real time graphics as the foundation, and using traditional methods for post-production. Package the relevant art materials and send them to a professional CG team to make. "
J.A.R.V.I.S. said, "The cost of traditional CG will be much higher than real time graphics."
"I know. But it doesn't matter, this will be the last CG produced by Thunderbolt Movies using traditional methods, regardless of cost. "
J.A.R.V.I.S. didn't have any questions as he started to work on real time graphics according to the storyboards and materials Chen Mo gave him, then handed it over to a professional CG team to complete the post-production.
In fact, it had been a long time since Chen Mo used traditional methods to make CG.
Because the accuracy of the art resources of the next-generation VR had almost reached the point where the fake could be mistaken for the real thing, players in games such as GTA, Iron Man, and Bloodborne Curse had to be more careful to distinguish between the game and reality.
Therefore, trailers, promos, and interludes were all done using real time graphics, which meant that the characters in the game would 'act' out the scene they wanted through the models and actions in the game.
Traditional CG required a large team to adjust and render frame by frame, and the cost wasn't low. A high quality CG could cost tens of thousands of dollars per second, so one could only imagine how much money it would cost to make a three to five minute CG.
Of course, even if it was done using traditional methods, it definitely wouldn't be done using traditional methods. Since the quality of next-gen VR's art had reached a level where it could be passed off as genuine, and Chen Mo could even mimic Heath Ledger's acting through hand gestures. Players wouldn't be able to tell how the CG was made if they were to use real time calculations.
What Chen Mo wanted was to use Real-time calculations and traditional methods to reprocess the finished Real-time CGI frame by frame, so that the quality of the CGI would reach the pinnacle and be unparalleled.
Even if using traditional methods to rework the CG would greatly increase the cost of making the CG, but … was CEO Chen in need of money?
As for how high was the CG going to be?
In Chen Mo's own words, "Every frame can be used as wallpaper."
…

The popularity of "Bloodborne Curse" continued, but it had been sliding down the Weibo hot search list and was about to fall out.
This was also very normal. After all, everyone knew how much of the trending search list was not.
Weibo's trending search had become one of the important entrances for many marketing companies to buy traffic, especially those little fresh meats with their own traffic, popular IP adaptations of popular dramas, new songs of singers, and so on. Some of them got there based on their own skills, some were promoted by marketing companies, and some were directly bought.
It had long been rumored that the third and fifth positions on Weibo's trending searches were bought by the official search engine. It was rumored that Weibo's hot search pack's price was 600,000 for two days of rotation, and the third-party marketing company's price was 50,000 per hour for the top three searches and 40,000 per hour for the top ten searches.
Some considerate search companies would even package the service of getting on the trending search and maintaining the trending search. If the search failed, they would even refund the user's money.
Weibo had also publicly condemned the behavior of third parties in the past, publicizing Weibo's new anti-spam mechanism in a high-profile manner. The general meaning was: Money should be handed directly to me, and don't go looking for third party scalpers for small gains. Is it okay for a company to steal money from me? I have to make it clear to you.
The popularity of Bloodborne Curse was all because of Chen Mo's reputation and the passion of the players. It was even in the top three for a few days before it was pushed out of the top three. It was incredible that it had only been pushed out of the top three by a few other players.
Many search engine companies wanted to vomit blood. Why couldn't they push it out of the rankings no matter how hard they tried?
Seeing that the popularity of Bloodborne Curse was finally fading, many marketing companies couldn't sit still anymore.
There were two or three new dramas that needed to be hyped up on Weibo's trending search, and a few popular singers released new songs. Not to mention there were many little fresh meats and female celebrities that needed to maintain their popularity. So many marketing companies had their eyes on the rankings.
Thus, a smokeless war silently began. If there were players who were bored enough to keep checking Weibo, they would realize that the Weibo trending topic would change every few minutes. The competition between the trending topics was very intense, with no one giving way to the other. The popularity of the trending topics was skyrocketing.
You couldn't blame these trending topics for clashing with each other. It was mainly because Bloodborne Curse had been at the top of the trending search for quite some time, and these marketing companies couldn't take it anymore.
Strangely enough, Chen Mo's game had been on the trending search for quite some time. Sometimes, Chen Mo would even go on the trending search when he was in a good mood. For example, when he participated in Today's Current Events Debate, his trending topic stayed in the top ten for five days.
Only a few dumb marketing companies would choose to try and get Chen Mo's game first when it was released. The more experienced marketing companies would wait until the storm was over before doing anything else.
After all, Salent's fans weren't just for show. They were a bunch of people that would kill for no reason.
The marketing companies were secretly competing with each other.
"Quick, why did the top search drop again? Hurry up and get back up! "
"That's weird. Everyone was friendly with each other for a few hours. Why did they clash this time?"
"They're worried too! They're probably like us, asking for a refund if we don't spend enough time? "
"Hehe, don't worry about it for now, keep going!"
"Damn, why did it drop again? Keep going! "
"I … I can't go up anymore …"
"Why can't I go up again?!"
"Look, Chen Mo … posted on Weibo again!"
The marketing companies were confused. Why did it drop to second place after spending so much effort on it?!
Some of the more clever marketing companies discovered it earlier. While they were still concentrating on getting to the top three trending topics, a trending topic shot into the Weibo trending list like a rocket.
Every time it refreshed, it would jump a few places, and now it was at the top.
Trying to get first place? Sorry, that's impossible.
The speed at which these marketing companies refreshed the list couldn't even compare to the natural popularity of the topic …
The marketing companies were dumbfounded.
"What's going on?! Didn't Chen Mo just release Bloodborne Curse a few days ago? The topic just dropped out of the trending list, why is it back?! "
"It's not just Weibo's trending list … Look, the Q&A and search engine's trending list have all been wiped out!"
