Their previous job mainly involved developing and improving professional software for film special effects.
In fact, it's about perfecting the "origin engine".
The "Source Engine" comes with two software packages: the "Source Development Kit" and the "Source Filmmaker". The former is used to create games, while the latter is used to create game movie CG, and has further evolved into software specifically for creating movie CG effects.
When Tao Feihang saw Zhao Ye arrive, he quickly greeted him.
"Boss, you're here!!!"
Zhao Ye nodded slightly: "Tao Feihang, how have you been lately?"
"It's great. Staying here allows me to focus on R&D. Boss, the 'Origin Engine' you developed is incredibly powerful. Based on that, our team has optimized and improved the 'Origin Filmmaker' software. In my opinion, this software is now on par with Industrial Light & Magic! DreamWorks, a subsidiary of Shanghai Animation Film Studio, is currently filming 'Jurassic Park,' and our department is responsible for handling all the special effects issues, such as dinosaur CG modeling, etc..."
As he spoke, Tao Feihang led Zhao Ye to a Nuwa graphics workstation, then opened a professional software and brought up the Tyrannosaurus Rex CG model.
Zhao Ye watched the lifelike Tyrannosaurus Rex on the screen with great interest. Every movement looked incredibly realistic, just like a real dinosaur. The terrifying aura emanating from its body was enough to make one feel scared.
"Well done! The Tyrannosaurus Rex CG model is excellent. Keep up the good work!" Zhao Ye encouraged Tao Feihang and the other team members with a smile.
Tao Feihang and the others were touched to receive Zhao Ye's approval.
Zhao Ye then turned to Tao Feihang and asked, "Tao Feihang, is there any problem that the 'Digital Light Magic' department is currently facing?"
"Yes! There are two main problems. One is that we lack manpower; the other is that we have too few projects. Apart from 'Jurassic Park,' it is difficult for us to get films that require a lot of computer-generated special effects."
"Okay, I understand!" Zhao Ye nodded, a thoughtful look on his face. The film special effects department needs many projects to survive. Industrial Light & Magic in the United States was able to develop so rapidly because it was backed by Hollywood.
The Chinese film and television industry clearly does not currently possess the same conditions as Hollywood.
For Digital Light & Magic to survive, it likely needs continuous financial support from its parent company.
Perhaps, after Jurassic Park is released, Hollywood film companies will seek cooperation.
With special effects alone generating hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue, how could Wujiang Group possibly miss out on this "feast" of cinema?
Furthermore, Zhao Ye highly values the development of film special effects, which requires strong technological support. Digital Light & Magic is essentially a technology company; its growth is tied to the technological advancements behind special effects, such as graphics workstations, special effects software, and so on.
Therefore, even if Digital Light Magic continues to lose money, Zhao Ye will keep it going.
Zhao Ye pondered, if he entrusted the special effects blockbuster that was a huge hit in his previous life to Digital Light & Magic, why would he have to worry about not being able to support Digital Light & Magic?
Many computer series quickly flashed through Zhao Ye's mind:
The Pirates of the Caribbean series, the Mission: Impossible series, the Harry Potter series, the Marvel series, the Lord of the Rings series, the King Kong series, the Fast and Furious series, the Resident Evil series, the Jumanji series, the Planet of the Apes series...
“I’ll write the script, or buy the rights first, and then I won’t have to worry about not having films to shoot!” Zhao Ye was tempted. “Writing is similar to coding. At worst, I can work a little harder and write the script at night!”
