Ever since the life-changing dream, Lu Chen began to practice martial arts every day. It gradually became a deep-rooted habit in his life. Usually, unless he encountered a very special situation, he would wake up every morning to practice martial arts to strengthen his body.
Compared to three years ago, his physique was many times stronger, and his skills were getting more agile and sharp. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to dodge the bullets on flight UD725 and subdue a former elite member of the US Marine Corps in one fell swoop.
Now that he was wearing the data suit to practice the Mountain Collapsing Fist, it wasn't that Lu Chen was deliberately showing off. He needed to test his opponent's technical strength to determine if he should import it into China in the future to serve his Wuxia IP plan.
According to Lu Chen's plan, he would release a series of Wuxia works in the next ten years. Then, he would create movies, long-form TV series, online games, mobile games, animated videos, and so on.
Due to the uniqueness of the Wuxia theme, motion capture technology would undoubtedly play a great role in it!
Although in practical applications, actors or stunt doubles didn't need to be so fast, the more advanced the technology, the better the effect it could achieve.
Therefore, when Lu Chen used his fists and kicks, he didn't hold back and went all out!
This brought great shock to the Americans present.
Even Chen Fei 'er, who was the most familiar with Lu Chen, opened her eyes in surprise. She knew that Lu Chen was very good at martial arts, but she didn't expect it to be at such a high level.
Whoosh!
Lu Chen punched again, but his fist hit the air and made a loud explosion.
His figure then stopped, as if time had frozen in that instant. After a while, he pulled back his fist.
With a long breath, Lu Chen made an "OK" gesture to Miller, who was already dumbfounded, indicating that he was done.
It was only after the other staff reminded him that Miller woke up from a dream. He said helplessly, "Huh? It's over? OK, that's great, OMG! "
He couldn't even speak coherently.
Lu Chen smiled and said to the staff next to him, "I'm going to change."
Back in the locker room, he changed out of the high-tech data suit and put on his coat.
The attitude of the two staff members who were in charge of assisting towards Lu Chen had obviously changed. Not only were they much more enthusiastic and considerate, but they even had a bit of worship and respect towards him. He really lived up to his reputation!
When Lu Chen returned, Mill finally returned to normal. However, he was still very excited and asked eagerly, "Mr. Lu Chen, what skill did you just demonstrate? Was it a fighting skill from China?"
"More accurately speaking, combat techniques …"
Lu Chen explained, "You can call it China Kung Fu."
He said the word "Kung Fu" in Chinese.
“Chinese Kong Fu？”
Miller repeated the words Lu Chen had just said, a little awkwardly. He nodded and gave a thumbs up. "Good!"
He pulled Lu Chen to look at the monitor in front of them.
The computer was playing back a full-angle ultra-high-definition video that had just been captured. It used slow motion to show Lu Chen's every move clearly. The image that was displayed on multiple monitors was quite shocking.
And this was just the beginning. Christopher personally retrieved a 3D character model from the database and attached the data collected by Mocap to it.
After a simple rendering, this fantasy elf-shaped 3D character was given Lu Chen's movements. It was as if it was Lu Chen's incarnation, reenacting the Mountain-crushing Punch on the computer screen!
Even though Lu Chen was not an expert, he could see the power of the Blue Sky Studio's technology. The most important thing was that the movement was very smooth. There was no stiffness or pretentiousness in it. It was as natural as moving clouds and flowing water.
Mill asked, "How was it?"
Lu Chen gave him a thumbs up. "Good!"
Mill laughed loudly, looking very proud of himself.
To be honest, after dealing with the elites of Wall Street in New York, Lu Chen liked Mill's character even more. He was simple and direct, not a playboy, and his thoughts were all on his face.
He pointed to the screen and said, "This set of movements is more suitable for, um, strong characters."
“OK！”
Mill immediately asked Christopher to replace the elves with orcs, and then redo the rendering.
It was the same CG character, but the burly, muscular Orc was using the same Mountain-crushing Punch, but the effect of the aura was completely different. Christopher had even expertly added simple sound effects, and it could be used as a promotional video for a game movie!
Lu Chen was very satisfied after watching it. He even had a series of ideas.
Richard's recommendation was right. Blue Sky Studio was undoubtedly a suitable partner for Chenfei Media. Of course, he would not immediately decide how much he wanted to invest or anything else. The specific negotiations had to be done by real professionals.
What Lu Chen wanted was to buy as many shares of Blue Sky Studio as possible and reach a more favorable agreement.
After personally demonstrating Blue Sky Studio's mocap system, Lu Chen's inspection of this special effects studio was complete. They could now sit down and have a formal discussion.
Mill warmly invited Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er to have lunch together.
The afternoon was not really a negotiation. At most, it was to state their intentions and requirements for cooperation. Mill represented Blue Sky Studio and was willing to sell up to 15% of the shares, and their offer was US $60 million.
This meant that Mill valued his studio at US $400 million!
Lu Chen did not express his position immediately. Instead, he said that he would carefully consider Blue Sky Studio's request and hire a professional to evaluate it before carrying out formal negotiations.
Mill did not expect Lu Chen to agree immediately. Although he could see that Lu Chen was very interested and sincere, it involved tens of millions of dollars. Even a billionaire would be very cautious.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two sides was still very good. At the time of parting, Mill and Christopher were a little reluctant.
Christopher suddenly said, "Mr. Lu Chen, can I upload the video of your ChineseKong Fu that was shot in the studio today to Tbook?"
His eyes were very eager. "I think it should be seen by everyone in the world!"
Lu Chen was stunned. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Sure."
"Thank you!"
Christopher was very happy. He impulsively gave Lu Chen a Big hug. "Thank you!"
Lu Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
Compared to Mill, he had a better impression of this rather typical technology geek, so he agreed to the other party's request.
