Chapter 30 Concept Map

Tan Chenglin and Wang Wei really couldn't understand why Du Mingxuan was so persistent. This was obviously a waste of time, strength and money.

But given that they were Du Mingxuan's employees, the two of them didn't say much. However, they felt that after Du Mingxuan tried, he gave up.

Du Mingxuan immediately started preparing. After he got home, he closed the door and turned on his smart watch.

"Waiter, help me search for the three-dimensional model diagram!" Du Mingxuan shouted, "Waiter is the name of smart watch voice intelligence.

Its intelligence level can communicate normally with Du Mingxuan and help complete some intelligent operations. It is still a weak artificial intelligence.

"Please select the search range!" the waiter replied.

"Human exoskeleton model, space warship model diagram..." Du Mingxuan roughly explained Yang Bufan's request.

"Eighty million results have been searched." The waiter quickly screened out tens of billions of information, but the eighty million messages were still a large amount for Du Mingxuan.

There is no way. What movie art requires is visual experience, and it also takes into account the difficulty of making props, cost and shooting difficulty. This has to be done by Du Mingxuan himself.

On the smartwatch, 3D display images of three-dimensional models are projected.

"This guy is so ugly. Remove all the similar ones." Du Mingxuan crossed out one.

Waiter: "More than 1,030,000 similar models have been removed."

"This is too big, with more than 100,000 structural parts? Forget it, all of this structural more than 100,000 components were eliminated!" Du Mingxuan saw a model of a space warship. Although it looked good, it was too troublesome to create. It was not worth it just to make movie props!

Waiter: "Models with more than 100,000 components have been eliminated, with a number of 965,302."

"This is pretty good, keep it for the time being."

Waiter: "Save to your personal favorites."

Selecting the right object from tens of millions of three-dimensional models is a job that will torture people crazy. For several days, Du Mingxuan was choosing day and night. In addition to considering beauty, he also had to consider factors such as the difficulty of model manufacturing.

A week later, Du Mingxuan came to the company with two dark circles on his eyes.

"Mr. Du, are you a COS giant panda?" Wang Wei joked, "It's quite similar."

Du Mingxuan yawned and covered his mouth and said, "Is Lao Tan here? Let him come to my office and study the three-dimensional design drawings."

Wang Wei said in surprise: "It was the request of the last movie? Mr. Du, you really did it!"

He was a little surprised. They thought Du Mingxuan would give in, but who knew that Du Mingxuan had really designed it.

"Nonsense, I said it, this will definitely work!" Du Mingxuan made a cup of coffee and forced himself to make a strong effort.

"Okay, the boss is worthy of being the boss, it is worth learning." Wang Wei joked that in the company, his personality is the most lively.

A moment later, in Du Mingxuan's small office, Tan Chenglin's disbelief sounded: "My God, Mr. Du, did this by you alone?"

"It can be said that." Du Mingxuan said with a shameless face. Although this is the intellectual achievement of another civilization, here is his personal patent!

"Genius! You are really the most awesome genius I have ever seen!" Tan Chenglin said loudly, his tone full of envy, and there seemed to be a little jealousy.

In Du Mingxuan's office computer, Du Mingxuan carefully selected three-dimensional models for several days and nights, and all of them were made into conceptual images. From the appearance, it was simply impeccable!

"This structure and appearance are really full of industrial punk beauty! If it is made into a model, the visual effect will definitely explode!"

"There are also this spacecraft, with an oval hull, metallic rendering, and streamlined hull. The most important thing is that the details inside are too rich, I was really shocked! Mr. Du, you shouldn't have been designing spacecraft before, right?" Tan Chenglin couldn't help but joke. In just a few days, Du Mingxuan took out such an excellent design product, which really made him look at it with admiration!

Du Mingxuan smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I had a hobby for the aspects before, and this was also something I had accumulated before, and then modified it."

"I said, how can we make so many things in just a few days?" Tan Chenglin showed an expression of "so that's it", but his tone was still quite emotional. "To be honest, I thought we could give up on the prop production of "Space Warning" and didn't understand your ideas."

"Now after looking at this concept picture, I support it with both hands and feet! If such a good design picture is not made, it is a waste of art!"

"Okay!" Du Mingxuan was also very satisfied with Tan Chenglin's reaction. Tan Chenglin is a three-dimensional designer with rich experience. He appreciates it so much, which shows that his vision is still good.

"By the way, how are you preparing for renting a factory?" Du Mingxuan asked again.

"I found a processing factory," said Tan Chenglin. "The address is in Huajin City, Zhejiang Province. It is a metal casting mold processing factory. The equipment is quite complete, but they have to rent it from at least one month."

"We haven't rented it yet, considering the funding issue."

"Yes." Du Mingxuan nodded and said, "In this way, we will go to the producer of "Space Warning" as soon as possible. If the contract is reached, rent a factory and prepare to start the production of props."

To manufacture diverse and large props, it is absolutely not enough to rely on a 3D printer alone, and more industrial equipment is required.

Du Mingxuan took a good rest for a day and decided to take the concept map to the island city and get the business. In fact, because of the lack of staff in the company, he was the only one who went on a business trip himself.

Island City, Oriental Film City shooting base, "Space Warning" production team.

Director Guo Bufan, deputy director Feng Ming, and visual effects director Miao Yu are in the office, discussing with Zhang Ailun, a business staff member of Vita Digital.

"Your quotation is too high!" Guo Bufan took the other party's quotation and said bluntly: "One mechanical exoskeleton prop alone costs $200,000, and we need at least five! The space warship model is higher, and the cost is one million US dollars! There are other props, pulse cannons, laser cannons, and other items, which cost at least $20 million!"

"Director Guo, you are a professional. You should know that the more science fiction blockbusters are, the higher the production cost. Your prop requirements are completely Hollywood science fiction industry level. Our quotes cannot be called high, they should be said to be very low!" Zhang Allen said in Mandarin with an American accent. He is a Chinese American who is proficient in English and Chinese.

"Do you know the mechanical exoskeleton quote you mentioned? When we made armor for Marvel, one piece of quotation reached 300,000 US dollars. The Iron Man armor worn by Robert Downey Jr. is worth more than 300,000 US dollars! We have made props for blockbusters including "Avengers", "Avatar", "Lord of the Rings", "Fast and Furious" and so on... We Vita Digital is the world's top film industry prop production company!"

"We only make high-quality products, so the price is naturally not comparable to other inferior props."
