crush the rich

After several meetings, Yin Lian settled on one of the teams.She decided on a small to medium team, but if Hei Huaizhu could be included in the recommendation list, the other party would naturally have their own uniqueness.

Among the teams recommended by Hei Huaizhu, she admired the styles of three of them, but in the end she chose this small and medium-sized team.It stands to reason that such a large project would usually choose a relatively powerful large company. The reason why Yin Lian did not choose it was because among the people she approached, the communication with the people from the other two companies was not very smooth.

The other party obviously came to meet for the sake of Hei Huaizhu's face, but it's not that he didn't know Yin Lian's identity.Because it is a big company, and they are not very optimistic about the job that Yin Lian is in charge of, so their attitude is not very positive.If reflected in the negotiation process, their quotations are quite high, and they are not very willing to cooperate with Yin Lian's request. Even if Hei Huaizhu made peace among them, their quotations are still higher than the normal market price.

Of course, this is understandable, and Yin Lian is also mentally prepared.The companies recommended by Hei Huaizhu are all the best in the industry, and the ones Yin Lian selected from them are relatively better ones - good quality is definitely more valuable.

Yin Lian is mentally prepared for this, and her budget is sufficient, but she doesn't really care about it.

But the hesitation of putting it into action is not easy to accept.During the contact process, the conditions given by the other party are not only very dishonest, but most importantly, there are many restrictions.Among them, there are restrictions on model accuracy, number of revisions, dynamic data volume, etc. Not only does it require a long construction period, but the modeler is also unwilling to give enough experience.

The second one is willing to give it to a well-known designer, but it requires authorship and design autonomy.Generally speaking, for this kind of modeling work, which team is hired will always be marked with the name of the team. As for whether a list of all personnel will be marked, it depends on the respective needs and considerations of both parties.

Yin Lian is an investor, and Heihuai Zhu is the director. The two still have the right to decide the content of the personnel list. However, what the other party asks is not to list the set production, but to enter the list of art directors.

In other words, occupy Yin Lian's position.

To be honest, Yin Lian doesn't care about this kind of honor. It's not something she can't accept in principle to be an art director alongside others. What she can't accept is the other party's intentions during the process.

During the negotiation process, the other party deliberately emphasized that it was the first time for Yin Lian to be an art designer, and his experience was not as rich as his own.He also deliberately made alarmist remarks, emphasizing the difficulty of setting modeling and exaggerating the consequences of failure.Although every time he made similar remarks, heihuaizhu pushed back with neither soft nor hard, but the attitude of the other party was obvious.

If Yin Lian is not fully prepared and confident, she may really be affected by this psychological game.

From this point of view, it can also be found that the IP of Ming Fang's "Winning Injustice Record" is really a hot cake at present, and everyone wants to get a piece of it, even well-known set designers in the industry are no exception.

But the other party wanted a piece of the pie, and it would be fine if he just wanted to make a name for himself, but judging from the other party's attitude, he wanted to interfere or even completely dominate the art design of the entire film.It may be that Yin Lian doesn't think highly of Yin Lian, the other party didn't bother to hide his purpose at all, and acted quite arrogantly.

Heihuai Zhu himself had a relatively harmonious cooperative relationship with the other party. He noticed the other party's attitude towards Yin Lian. Although he didn't turn his face on the spot, his demeanor was very gloomy.He is young and energetic, not the kind of old and cunning middle-aged successful person.Since they are all called Xinrui, their vigor must not be small.

The other party didn't want to offend him, so his attitude was not too aggressive, but he didn't give in either. Before leaving, he asked Yin Lian to think carefully, as if he was sure that she had no other choice.

Hei Huaizhu became very angry after the person left, but Yin Lian took the initiative to comfort him and persuade him not to be angry.

In fact, this is not the only family that has a similar attitude, but it's not Yin Lian's favorite object, so it's fine if they can't agree.

That is to say, Yin Lian felt the best when approaching the third company with a relatively small scale.She originally liked this company, but the other party's attitude towards this business is also very correct and attentive. Although it was a temporary contact, they took the two of them to visit the virtual exhibition hall of classic scenes in the past. Not only that, they also detailed and He explained precisely their modeling process, what effects different technologies can create, and how much manpower and material costs are spent.

Moreover, the other party attaches great importance to this work, Yin Lian's budget is slightly reserved, but it is already very generous for similar work.It is to design the scenery for Yue Ke's work, and there is a good salary.The other party is very inclined to take the job.

There is a big difference between small companies and large companies in this respect.

This company has almost no complicated personnel structure, except for a few necessary positions that are filled by AI or entrusted companies, and all regular employees are modelers.Relatively speaking, they generally don't take on several large projects at one time. That is to say, if Yin Lian hires them, it can be guaranteed that everyone will concentrate on her business during this period of time, and will not be involved at the same time. Juggle several projects.

And although the scale is small, its own production strength is not weak, not only has a good performance in scene modeling in many fields, several senior modelers also have their own masterpieces, compared with the previous contact The company is full of sincerity.

If there are any shortcomings, it is that as a small company, their resources are generally not as good as those of large companies, so their development capabilities are relatively limited.In this regard, the other party also roughly explained the normal work efficiency - this studio called Fangqiuse, limited by the operating efficiency of its own server, has a total of 500 AI modeling rules, which can allow about [-]MS to build Model data run simultaneously.Because the star brain does not use binary, Xia Guo's star network data unit is not measured in bytes, which is more complex and anthropomorphic.

In addition, they also have a total of [-] AI robots, which can be used as small independent servers, and can complete most of the material collection and site surveys, as well as field tasks.

Yin Lian took out her design draft.Considering that it is inappropriate not to be discovered by Hei Huai Zhu, Yin Lian's design draft is relatively simple and does not have too many details.However, Yin Lian roughly described the effect he wanted with the other party, and used a three-dimensional picture as a reference for the effect he wanted.

What Yin Lian gave was a scanned image of the porcelain, which was very exquisite and detailed.She modeled the AI ​​with her rudimentary knowledge, then tweaked it.Because the materials used are fine enough, the modeling process is easier than expected. Only need to adjust the details, and the resulting effect is very amazing.

After seeing this model, the other party was very surprised and asked, "Who made this model?"

Yin Lian said: "I did it casually."

The two people who came here were very surprised. Yi Chongzhen, a well-known modeler, said, "Miss Yin, have you ever studied modeling?"

Yin Lian said: "No. I just manipulated it a little with the assistance of AI, and I haven't done very detailed modeling."

The other two glanced at each other, and then asked: "Miss Yin, did you build a model based on the real thing?"

"Correct!"

Yi Chongzhen took a closer look at the modeling, and then said: "This rabbit is really exquisite. And it has a vivid expression, shouldn't it be an industrial product?"

The industrial technology at this time was very developed. According to the general porcelain, as long as there is no existing artwork, it cannot be imitated.But industrial products can always leave some traces of industrial products, and things made by human hands, due to the joint action of human muscles, bones and thoughts, can always show softness and coordination that industrial products do not have.

Because modelers have been in contact with objects in this area for a long time, they have a particularly strong ability to identify in this area.Most ordinary people still can't see the craftsmanship and value of this porcelain rabbit.

Yin Lian said: "Yes. It was a gift from someone else."

Yi Chongzhen said: "In this regard, it is definitely easy to model physical objects, but it will take a lot of time to model independently. The gap between the two is too great to be generalized."

Yin Lian also expected it, and was not surprised. She just asked in a very ordinary way: "How long will it take to model independently if you want to have this level of precision?"

Yi Chongzhen thought for a while and replied: "If this is the case, it will take at least a year or more to model these three cities independently. I don't think it's appropriate. You probably can't wait so long, and the cost is sky-high. "

Yin Lian thought for a while and asked, "What if there is a model?"

Yi Chongzhen's companion, Fang Yicheng, another modeler who came this time, asked: "What kind of model do you mean by the model?"

Yin Lian said: "Assume that everything in this city has a model."

After hearing this, Fang Yicheng didn't think she could really provide references for everything, so he said, "It's unlikely. That's a city. But if many small objects have original models, even if they are clear enough If the photos are used as a reference, the time and labor spent on modeling can be greatly reduced.”

Yin Lian asked: "How much time can be shortened?"

Fang Yicheng said: "I don't know how many reference models you can provide, so it's hard to say. But take this rabbit as an example, if we design, we need to find information, understand the shape of similar props, production process, and the evaluation of professionals Rules, and then design by yourself, make sure that it conforms to the background of the times and the aesthetic standards of the corresponding industry, and then complete the modeling. This process requires about five to ten hours of effective working time for an ordinary modeler, followed by passing AI-assisted virtual model filling and adjustment, this part involves common physical rules and simple repetitive work, but it does not take much time. If it goes well, it may only take one to two hours for the modeler, or even Multi-model batch adjustment is possible.”

That really saves a lot of time.

Yin Lian thought about it, but it was understandable.

With the assistance of AI, the time and physical effort required for modeling itself is quite small. Whether it can be designed well depends mainly on brain power and aesthetics.

Fang Yicheng added: "This is still a material without text information. If it is a material with text information, it will be more troublesome. Generally, it is like this kind of document model of a specific history. We are looking for a large amount of data, such as Liucheng at that time. Newspapers, understand their typesetting style, printing fonts, and news of the same period, and then restore them in an imitative manner according to the background at that time, and then replace them with the information related to the plot.”

Hearing what he said, Yin Lian immediately felt very knowledgeable.She has always thought that Xia Guo's filming is very easy, not to mention that the set props can be modeled directly, and the special effects are even cheaper... But after listening to Fang Yicheng's words, she realized that modeling is far from easy as imagined.

Indeed, there are a lot of free set materials that can be reused online.However, if such a large-scale commercial film does not use existing modeling, the manpower and money required will be no less than the shooting of the earth.

Of course, in terms of effect, Xia Guo's film effect is far better than the current Earth.

After Yin Lian understood the general process of modeling, she didn't give up, but continued to ask: "If I can provide reference materials for all the objects on your design drawings, how long will it take you to model?"

The two modelers were stunned for a moment.
