Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1018 Founder of the gaming industry
Chapter 1018 Founder of the Game Industry
1018
Since it was announced that Jesse Homemill would direct the film, the filming of the movie has gone much smoothly.
Resources within the industry began to be tilted towards this film.
This can also be regarded as Jesse’s own influence.
As for Jesse himself, who hopes to adjust the scenes in the plot, Zhu Youxing doesn’t have much objection, but it just lacks one or two of his own easter eggs.
Originally, the second scene of Ready Player One is also a thriller movie, the famous director Kubrick's The Shining, which forms a counterpoint relationship in this time and space.
When all work officially started, the official special effects teams of Unreal Engine and Yuxing Electronic Entertainment also joined in the film and television production.
Jesse was also exposed to video games and related fields for the first time, and he witnessed firsthand how amazing the Unreal Engine and special effects production technology developed in the current game industry are.
Many of the film shooting and special effects production techniques he used before were a bit retro in comparison.
And the labor cost consumed is not a lot.
But when the Unreal Engine team and the official special effects team arrived, with the assistance of the official AI, the special effects production computer began to work crazily.
Jesse roughly estimated that the special effects produced by Youxing Electronic Entertainment can save at least one-third of the cost.
This was an eye-opener for him, and he seemed to realize that the video game industry seemed to be quite powerful.
It is not just the entertainment product that affects ordinary people, video games. A series of edge technologies developed by video games can also feed back into many different industries.
“Director Jesse, I am a fan of yours. Your Enemy of the Day is my favorite spy film!”
Jesse, who is in his seventies, has an old-fashioned heart and will take time to see the work of the special effects production department during filming breaks.
Although he is too old to understand programming and other technologies that are easier for young talents to learn, he still wants to see them.
Among these people are fans of Jesse's movies, and they are quite senior ones.
One of the people in charge of scene special effects production followed Jesse excitedly, introducing him to some features of Unreal Engine special effects production, and saying how much he admired Jesse.
Jesse smiled kindly: "Thank you very much for liking my movie, just like what Halliday said at the end of this movie, 'Thank you for playing my game.'"
Then he looked curiously at one of the supercomputers that was running crazily.
Beside the supercomputer are dozens of employees who are dedicated to checking the special effects after rendering.
"Your job seems to be relatively easy. You only need to stare at the computer. This is completely different from the working conditions of the special effects production teams I have been exposed to before."
The young person in charge immediately said proudly: "This is due to the power of our Unreal Engine. You can take a look at this first. How long do you think it will take to build this scene from scratch in Unreal Engine?"
Jesse thought for a moment and said: "A special effects film and television scene that meets my requirements will take at least two days."
The young person in charge said proudly: "We only need twelve hours and three people."
Before Jesse could make a sound of exclamation, the young person in charge continued: "For the film and television industry, after the construction of a virtual special effects scene is completed, it needs to control the scene light source and wind direction every minute and every second, as well as a series of Complex scene feedback needs to be adjusted, but Unreal Engine doesn’t have to be that troublesome at all.”
The young person in charge directly picked up an idle laptop next to him, and then extracted a special effects scene that had been built on the computer and showed it to Jesse.
"In Unreal Engine, you only need to enter the corresponding parameter data. You see, in just a few minutes, the cloud supercomputer behind our team can easily calculate all the changes in the natural environment that will occur in the entire scene in the next few minutes. The presentation includes the dancing of sand and dust in the wind, as well as the different performances of light sources in different scenes, and this is the power of Unreal Engine.”
Jesse stared at the screen and said, "Why can't other special effects do this?"
“Because of the database.”
“What database?”
“Behind our team, there is an unimaginably huge database. This database records countless data contents. These things are the most precious wealth of Unreal Engine. With this data, coupled with the latest Unreal Engine AI Computing function, it can know very intelligently what kind of environmental data should be used in this scene. If there are some errors, it can also make manual adjustments immediately. During this adjustment process, the AI will continue to learn and let it We can do better in future special effects production.”
“It sounds like it’s very powerful, but to be honest, I’m already old.”
Jesse shook his head. He could not fully understand at least seven of the ten sentences this young man said.
data?
Is data so important?
He has realized that it is difficult for him to integrate with modern science and technology.
But fortunately, he at least already knew that this thing was good enough, and it didn't matter to him how good it was.
“Unreal Engine is a good thing, and the people who created this engine are also very smart.”
The young person in charge showed a somewhat proud and admiring look: "Indeed, from the beginning, he could think of using an engine to produce film and television special effects and games. This is already an extraordinary talent, and I think such a person is Hejie. Director Xi, you are on par."
“Me?” Jesse smiled and shook his head: “I didn’t do anything.”
“It’s not like he didn’t do anything. You can be said to be the founder of the modern film industry.”
"It's not that exaggerated." Jesse continued to shake his head, and then said, "As for the person you mentioned who created this Unreal Engine, I am really interested in meeting and chatting with him. He is a very talented person. , is he here now? Is he the boss of your Unreal Engine company?"
“No, the boss of our Unreal Engine company is just a professional manager. He doesn’t know anything but how to run the company safely. The person who created this engine is now the **** of games.”
“What? God?”
"Oh, sorry, I'm used to using this title. He is the boss of Youxing Electronic Entertainment and the founder of the video game industry, so I said he is on par with you, Director Jesse."
"that person…"
Jesse naturally understands Bamboo Youxing.
After all, he is a person at the top of the industry, but I have only heard about him in the past. I know that he is very good at making games and is very popular among young people.
But I never thought about his other achievements.
It seems that we need to study this founder of the gaming industry carefully.
