Fang Yi hugged a small helicopter and came out of the DJ headquarters. He looked back at the residential area and saw Sister Zhen driving him away.
"The DJ company is like this now. Wang Tao, a man from science and engineering, holds 70% of the shares, and his friends from college hold the remaining 30%. Wang Tao started his business by saving 16,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was all his assets at the time. In 2008
If it can't survive, the company will be dissolved - my friend donated $90,000 as a sponsor and got the shares."
After Fang Yi finished speaking, Sister Zhen replied to him, "Are you the first investor they met?"
"No, to be precise, I am the first investor they like. Although their company is small, what they lack is not money, but valuable money."
Sister Zhen drove around the streets of Pengcheng and responded calmly, "Yeah."
Fang Yi continued, "I invested 1 million and asked for 10%, which is equivalent to valuing his small team in the tens of millions - but in the end we only talked about 7%, and he was not willing to get even one cent more.
Wang Tao would rather ask for less money, he would use the shares to realize other values."
"He needs... influential investors upstream and downstream who can help him increase his reputation and help him find channels... The reason why I can participate is because I can be a director and open up the film and television circle for him.
Promote him..."
“Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has a male engineer and a new director, so that the team can be presentable..."
Fang Yi kept talking.
After stopping at a traffic light, Sister Zhen said, "Fang Yi, actually I don't understand very well. I work in the media and hype... I don't understand this kind of hardware stuff, and I think you
I don’t quite understand...it’s very risky for you to do this, and I’ve never heard of celebrities investing in this.”
"But I think there are inherent reasons why investment in the industry is still concentrated in traditional businesses."
Fang Yi agreed with the agent's last sentence and ignored the previous one. He lifted the small helicopter from the car seat and looked at it, imagining where it could be used.
For the next week, Fang Yi has been promoting Tissot in the southern city, and then returned to the capital. The glorious "True Three" series will release a new DLC "The Legend of Jiang Wei", which requires him to work in the studio as a motion capture actor.
After the release of "True Three", it was widely praised in Asia. The new character "Jiang Wei" has gorgeous skills and unsolvable skills. He quickly became the strongest in the version and was very popular. Because Fang Yi's face was used as the model, he was out of the circle.
There are many CG screenshots.
The most interesting thing is that there are strong requests to add Chinese dubbing, not only from Chinese fans, but also from local players in Asia.
As mentioned before, Takeshi Kaneshiro once made a face model for "Onimusha 3", but due to the technological limitations of the times, it was actually difficult to see Takeshi Kaneshiro's appearance. The sales of the game were also dismal, and there was no sequel.
On the contrary, Queen Wang Fei contributed the global theme song "Eyes on me" to Square's game "Final Fantasy 8", which won unanimous praise. In 1999, Wang Fei had not drained his voice and still sounded like a pirate.
Demon, helped her gain a wave of fame.
This time "True Three" required Fang Yi to not only contribute his face, but also add related actions for game design.
Honor has adopted a new motion capture technology, which is said to be able to capture millions of pixels and reproduce the expressions on an actor’s face one-to-one; Honor has created a humanoid mechanical device for Fang Yi that can be tracked through built-in sensors.
And measure the movement trajectory to restore the actor's own movements.
However, this thing is quite stiff to wear and the movements are not smooth. The posture needs to be constantly adjusted and maintained according to the requirements of the motion capture director. It is not so much a motion capture as a "static" capture.
Fortunately, Fang Yi looks very handsome in mechanical equipment, like a soldier from the future era. He has the most sensors on his face. Once he makes a larger expression, the computer will immediately calculate a three-dimensional model.
This feeling is quite interesting. After Fang Yi completes the actions as required, he will come down and look at the screen.
On it, "Jiang Wei" either chops, stabs, or simply jumps. The imitation is very realistic, but the movements are slow.
“Can something like this be used in a movie?”
Fang Yi thought in his mind, but he felt that it was impossible, because movies have higher requirements for details than today's games, and motion capture technology is far from being able to be used for making movies.
The fatal flaw is that it is too sluggish.
Producer Suzuki Ryohiro learned that Fang Yi was also a director and took the initiative to chat with him.
"Fang Sang, are you interested in going to Japan to promote? We at Koei Co., Ltd. have many employees who are your fans; in the player survey we conducted, the support rate of players in Japan is no worse than that in the Chinese area. You particularly fit our imagination of beautiful Chinese men.
.”
Suzuki Ryohiro added: "In other words, it is the imagination of a new generation of Asian young people about a new generation of Chinese beauties."
Fang Yi joked, "What kind of imagination?"
Ryohiro Suzuki explained seriously, "It comes from the grandeur of the majestic continent. It is not stingy like an island country. We want to pursue an appearance that is handsome but not overly feminine, and you are just like that. So, we dare to take you
Do you understand that the world’s cultural circles are generally more left-wing, and the country as a whole is more conservative, and generally using Chinese as the main force in propaganda will be scolded... But you are not."
"Excellent."
Takeshi Kaneshiro is of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent, so he can be the protagonist of an Oriental game.
As for the appearance of the islanders, the problem does lie in genes. The Yayoi race is smaller than the mainland race, while the Jomon race of another race is atavistic, but he can't tell.
Suzuki Ryohiro asked, "Can I go to Japan for promotion? This is also a request of the players."
"I have a movie to be released. If it does well at the box office in Japan, we can go over there to promote it."
Suzuki Ryohiro gave a thumbs up, "Fang Sang's movie must be good, I will pay attention to it. What's its name?"
""Love has an afterlife"."
Soon, Fang Yi had to go into the studio to record the action. This was not an easy task and was quite energy-consuming. During this period, Suzuki Ryohiro asked Fang Yi to try out the "True Three" game and declared:
"Unlike Japanese players who like the general Lu Bu the most, players in the Chinese area don't like Lu Bu. But in Fang Sang's generation, players from all over the world like the new character Jiang Wei the most. In fact, it's not just Fang Sang's outstanding appearance.
To put it politely, we do have some credit..."
Fang Yi manipulated the character based on himself and drove Wushuang to mow grass for a while, and understood what Suzuki Ryohiro meant.
His character is more delicate and his movements are more human-like. In other words, the lag in control is much reduced. I am afraid that for hardcore players, this is the truth behind Jiang Wei's popularity.
"Producer Suzuki, can motion capture technology be used in movies?"
After completing the work, Fang Yi asked Suzuki Ryohiro.
The man answered hesitantly: "It won't be possible within five years. How can we use today's motion capture technology to make a movie? I heard that there are big directors in the United States trying it, but I'm not optimistic about it."
Fang Yi: ""Avatar"?"
Ryohiro Suzuki said excitedly, "Soders."
"Is Toyo's technology the most advanced in the world?"
"One of the most advanced..."
Fang Yi pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions. The DJ's little helicopter, the glorious motion capture... these things seemed to make him think of something, but he still couldn't figure it out.
