In terms of film and television special effects, there was still a considerable gap between China and the world's advanced standards. This was not just in terms of technology, but also in terms of creativity, concept, design, and most importantly, foundation.
The simplest example was the material library for special effects production. The top special effects studios in Europe and America had a deep foundation in this area. For example, for an explosion effect, a domestic production company might only have a few or a dozen explosion effects in their material library, but the former often had hundreds or thousands of explosion effects.
Some special effects materials could not even be bought with money. They were the exclusive secrets of a famous studio.
Even if the other party was willing to sell, the price was usually very high. Good special effects software usually came from Europe and America. A set of legal software installed in a workstation, and the fees were calculated by the year. Buying the materials was like running water. Ordinary small companies could not afford it.
An American special effects company used more than a hundred million for a renderer. In the end, they had to develop it themselves, but they also needed to hire a large number of professional technicians, and the expenses were not low.
To catch up in China, money alone was not enough. They also needed enough time and patience. Because of this, not many film and television production companies were willing to set up their own special effects studios. Most of them chose to outsource.
Chen Fei Media's special effects studio, DreamWorks Studio, had just been established not long ago. It had no reputation in the industry, nor did it have any works.
The studio currently had more than eighty employees, but only three were certified special effects engineers. Li Cha was the only one certified by the American Industry Association as a senior special effects engineer. Their technical strength was very weak.
Computer technology was very advanced, and software was much more intelligent than before. Big foreign special effects studios or companies often had hundreds or even thousands of employees, and the annual salary was very high.
In comparison, DreamWorks Studio was weaker than a baby. Not to mention surpassing their foreign counterparts, just catching up to the world's mainstream standards would require a lot of investment and a long time of accumulation.
Most of the employees in DreamWorks Studio were very young, with an average age of less than twenty-five. Many of them had just graduated from university, or had graduated for a year or two, and lacked sufficient work experience.
Other than the low salary, their only advantage was that they were willing to learn.
"You from the Star" is the first special effects production project that Lu Chen entrusted to DreamWorks Workshop. As an urban romance TV series, although it involves science fiction elements, there are not too many special effects shots in this TV series, and the requirements are not as high as those in movies, which is suitable for the studio to practice.
With a high-level special effects engineer like Richard at the helm, there shouldn't be any problems.
After shooting "You from the Star", Lu Chen's next step was to shoot "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", and there was no doubt that he would go further in terms of special effects.
Ding ling ling ~
After watching a CG special effect for "You from the Star" with Richard Cha's company, Lu Chen's cell phone in his pocket rang.
He said to Richard Cha, walked out of the studio and answered the phone: "Sister Mushi?"
It was Li Mushi who called Lu Chen.
Li Mushi asked, "What are you busy with?"
Lu Chen said, "In the company, Sister Mushi, what can I do for you?"
Li Mushi was unhappy. "Can't I call you if I have nothing to do?"
Lu Chen chuckled.
His relationship with Li Mushi was a bit special. They were friends, but they were not so close. He was really good friends with Li Mubai. They were partners, but they were more familiar.
Generally speaking, if there was nothing urgent, Li Mushi would not call him. Since she took the initiative to call, there must be a reason.
Li Mushi said again, "Are you free in the afternoon? Come to Borui. I have something to talk to you. Let's have dinner together. "
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Since you are looking for me, Sister Mushi, and I can get a free meal, I have to make time even if I don't have time!"
Li Mushi snorted and said, "What a glib tongue!"
After that, she hung up the phone.
Lu Chen looked at the mobile phone and smacked his lips. He felt that Li Mushi was a little angry today. Was it a relative?
Of course, he would definitely give face to this young lady. So at 3 pm, he came to the Borui Club near the Second Ring Road CBD.
Lu Chen had VIP status in the Borui Club, so he could go in directly by brushing his face.
When he saw Li Mushi again, the domineering female president was wearing a black tight fighting suit and practicing with Wan Yong in the ring. The two sides were fighting very fiercely, and the ring was surrounded by a circle of people.
Wan Yong was originally the coach in charge of fighting in the Borui Club. Later, he was asked by Lu Chen to form the Lu Family Class and became the head of the Lu Family Class.
Most of the members of the Lu Family Class were recruited by Lu Chen from the Borui Club. After shooting "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Hong Kong, they returned to the capital and had been training in the Borui Club.
This team was of great use to Lu Chen, and its importance was no less than that of DreamWorks, so he would rather spend money on it than disband it. On the contrary, he was ready to continue to expand.
In the future, the Lu Family Class would not only contribute to his films and TV plays, but also go global.
Of course, he only hid this ambition in the bottom of his heart, and he didn't even mention it to Chen Fei 'er.
Not to mention anything else, Lu Chen had to give face to Li Mushi just because of the Lu Family Class. Without the latter's consent, there would be no Lu Family Class, which was now famous in Hong Kong.
Moreover, after the Lu Family Class returned to the capital, the Borui Club specially set aside a place for Wan Yong and others to train. Otherwise, the headquarters of Chenfei Media would not be settled.
Li Mushi kicked Wan Yong's arm with a flying leg, forcing him to retreat to the edge of the ring.
But she didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue. Instead, she turned around and waved her fist at Lu Chen, who had just come over. "Come on!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Lu Chen, and Wan Yong took the opportunity to retreat from the ring.
Lu Chen couldn't help rubbing his nose and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Don't do it?"
Could it be that this young miss had called him over in the afternoon to have a battle with him?
Li Mushi was sweating and full of vigor. Hearing this, she immediately glared and said, "What are you afraid of? Are you still a man? Quickly come up and exchange a few moves with me. We must determine the victor today! "
The last time she fought with Lu Chen was a few months ago. At that time, the two sides ended in a draw.
That was the result of Lu Chen's deliberate letting her win.
Li Mushi must be clear in her heart, so she was very unconvinced and wanted revenge today!
