Minister Yang's words initially went unnoticed by the employees.
The task of creating a spectacle is not something anyone can handle; let's just assume the minister said that to relieve their workload.
It wasn't until team leader Zhao Ying stepped forward to ask questions that everyone realized what was happening.
"Minister, do you mean Director Li will handle the rendering? What about the technical staff in the rendering team?"
Making an animated film is no easy task; many things are pre-arranged, with each person assigned a specific role.
Everyone stayed in their positions and performed their duties.
Suddenly someone stepped in to take charge of the rendering work, leaving the technical backbone who should have been responsible for rendering the movie to do something else.
Yang Kai simply stopped talking, adopting a profound and aloof demeanor. He couldn't afford to ruin his image among the employees, nor could he offend Director Li; silence was the best option.
"Now that the minister has an idea, please ask the staff in charge of the rendering team to make room for Director Li to show his skills." Fang Nian has always been a person of action, and even if she has doubts, she will not go against the minister.
She was also curious about the production quality of director Lee, who wrote the screenplay for "Your Name."
“Okay.” Several key members of the rendering team immediately made room for each other.
"Director Li, which scenes do you want to render? I'll have them pick them out," Yang Kai asked.
"How many scenes have been created?" Li Zhaoyang didn't know the progress of the film yet and needed to check on the progress.
Team leader Fangnian immediately replied, "It's one-tenth of the script, but the plot isn't coherent. We're producing it as multiple scenes together. For example, the ending where the male and female leads have a long-awaited reunion, looking at each other on that long staircase and asking each other's names."
“In that case, let’s integrate all the scenes and I’ll render them all together.” Li Zhaoyang was a man of action, and he meant what he said.
"?"
Fang Nian's face showed a big question mark. When she found that Minister Yang was still silent, she immediately ordered, "Get to work, integrate all the scenes together, and have Director Li render them."
It wasn't that Yang Kai didn't want to talk; he just couldn't quite figure out Director Li's behavior.
Could it be that Chu Men's monument has become a bit arrogant after the explosion?
That shouldn't be the case. How could Director Li possibly care about such a small honor?
You have to understand that Director Li has won countless honors and awards in the music industry. How could he be so easily conceited?
If they wanted to drift away, they would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?
After thinking for a long time, Yang Kai could only think of one possibility: Director Li wanted to practice his skills.
If it's just for practice, then there shouldn't be any major problems.
About five minutes.
Fang Nian walked over from the side and said, "Director Li, the nine scenes have now been integrated and can be rendered at any time. However, Director Li... three of these nine scenes are highly difficult."
Fangnian kindly offered a word of advice.
These three challenging scenes are: one where the male and female leads each occupy half of the screen, another where a meteor crashes, and the third where the long ladder appears at the end.
Of these three challenging scenarios, the meteor crash is the most difficult, albeit the nightmare.
The rendered scene must meet the 4K standard. It is the image left by the clouds when a meteor streaks across the sky, like ripples on water. If the rendering cannot achieve a certain level of quality, then 4K will become a joke.
While offering a friendly reminder to Director Li, Fang Nian also glanced at the two technical backbone members scratching their heads in frustration.
The two key technical personnel were around 45 years old, and balding heads and beer bellies were their hallmarks.
Their faces showed both worry and curiosity.
The worry stems from the fact that the scene of a meteor streaking across the sky, which they were responsible for rendering, was extremely difficult to reproduce.
It's a real challenge to their own 20-year career.
These past two days have almost driven them crazy.
I was curious to see how Director Li would render the scene.
Even industry experts probably wouldn't dare say they could be absolutely certain they could render 4K quality.
"Dazhi, why haven't you guys rendered that big scene with the meteor shower yet?"
"Yeah, Dazhi, the scene was set up a couple of days ago, but judging from the image quality, there doesn't seem to be any progress."
"Bullshit, you guys try it. Rendering according to the 4K standard? How am I supposed to render it? I'm still figuring out the approach. Let's render some other simpler scenes first."
"Indeed, in one of the scripts I saw, a meteor streaked across the sky, and it was meant to give the impression of hovering above the city... If it were rendered in 4K quality, it would feel like a god-level scene, that frame would be a masterpiece."
"Don't push Dazhi too hard. He already has no hair. If you push him any further, I'm afraid he'll quit the industry."
"Stop talking, Director Li is starting to get dramatic."
"I want to see just how good Director Li's rendering is."
These employees didn't quite understand Director Li; their impression of him was still limited to his ability to make critically acclaimed films.
After sitting down, Li Zhaoyang began rendering the images one by one in the order listed above, opening the most professional rendering software.
"Minister, are the helpers you found really okay?" Fang Nian asked in a low voice.
"Uh..." How am I supposed to answer your question? You probably won't believe me if I say that Director Li wasn't an assistant I invited. Actually, I'd like to know the answer to that question too.
Zhang Xincheng, on the contrary, stood there with a confident smile. He had gradually come to admire Zhao Yang.
He doesn't know when it started, but in his mind and perception, he believed that Zhaoyang was omnipotent.
If one day Zhaoyang says he understands everything in every industry, Zhang Xincheng will believe him without hesitation.
This is the power of idols.
This is the pillar of support.
"It's starting!" The five technical backbone members of the rendering team were the most eager of them. They rubbed their eyes and walked forward quickly, wanting to "appreciate" Director Li's rendering process up close.
The first scenes Li Zhaoyang rendered were two shots where the male and female protagonists swapped bodies.
Rendering difficulty for this scene: three stars (out of five).
The rendering level has reached over 80%, exceeding the 2K standard, but it has not yet reached 4K.
If viewers were to see this, they would find nothing wrong with the scene, and the 2K resolution is already quite high.
But.
After being handled by Li Zhaoyang, the first detail was completely optimized in just five seconds.
The first scene is a striking detail: the male protagonist has just transmigrated into the female protagonist's body and looks in the mirror to find that his body has become female.
The reflection, the shadow in the mirror, and even when you magnify yourself in the mirror, you can clearly distinguish your face, eyelashes, and hair.
The only thing that can be distinguished so clearly is the resolution parameter of 4096x2160.
This parameter is the standard for 4K!
"This is a big shot." Da Zhi, who was already balding, showed surprise.
For viewers, it is often indistinguishable from 2K if they do not look closely.
Only by digging deeper can you truly appreciate the stunning quality of 4K.
Just like a viewer who thinks the picture quality is okay when watching, and can't tell if it's 4K, but later gets so engrossed in the story that they decide to watch it a second time, they discover all sorts of amazing details.
Only after being amazed by the deeper details can one see a certain quality.
