Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 690 - 359: He Wants Some Peace (Second Update, April Monthly Tickets 1800+)
"I suffered losses back then! That’s why I can’t let you suffer the same!" Brooke Osborne spoke with conviction, not feeling she did anything wrong, "We must treat things separately, we can’t mix them up."
Kenneth Osborne closed his eyes briefly, took a deep breath of fatigue, and said, "For someone as diplomatic as Nora to block you, sis, you’re really something. All right, I have to go to a meeting. We’ll talk later if there’s anything."
Before Brooke Osborne could speak again, Kenneth Osborne hung up the phone and then turned off his mobile.
He wanted peace and quiet.
But he didn’t remain quiet for long; he soon had to attend another meeting.
Their company’s main business now, besides continuing to develop artificial intelligence robots, was creating post-production special effects for NewHuman Entertainment Ltd.’s TV dramas.
Two weeks passed, with progress halfway through; after numerous rounds of testing, the effects were very noticeable.
Kenneth Osborne had a meeting with his special effects subsidiary’s team today, summarizing experiences, listening to their opinions and feedback, while making further improvements to his software program.
"Mr. Osborne, this program is absolutely amazing!" The technical director of the special effects subsidiary now looked at Kenneth Osborne like seeing a Living Bodhisattva, practically wanting to prostrate and lick his shoes.
"It wasn’t smooth initially, but the learning function is truly invincible!" Another design employee was also excited, "Color grading used to be so tricky, having to test each frame for color, now we just give commands directly to the mic!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Osborne, look at our results! It’s only been two weeks, but we’ve completed three-quarters already!—We can finish a week earlier than our original plan!"
Compared to the previous meetings marked by frustration, despair, and complaints, this time the atmosphere was evidently warmer and more upbeat.
Kenneth Osborne wasn’t as excited as they were; he picked up the remote and said, "Let’s take a look at your results then."
The lights in the meeting room dimmed, and on the large screen across the wall, they began playing the first completed episode they produced.
Now it wasn’t an abundance of blue screens filling the scenes, but magnificent Fairy Realm scenes.
Kenneth Osborne watched intently, saying nothing.
After the episode finished, the people in the meeting room eagerly looked at him, hoping for his recognition and praise.
Kenneth Osborne smiled slightly, still affirming their work, and said, "To not only grasp the software’s usage in such a short time but also shorten the turnaround to produce such outstanding completed work, you’ve indeed done well!"
"To reward everyone’s hard work, after project completion, we’ll increase your performance bonus by thirty percent!"
The people in the meeting room instantly cheered in delight.
Most of them were young, not very restrained, happily slapping the table with their hands, making "oh oh oh" sounds, akin to primitive hunters boasting about their achievements.
"Keep up the good work, don’t rush to deliver ahead of schedule, try to push a bit more to see if we can achieve this effect." Kenneth Osborne said, showing them the five-minute special effects short film made by Lawrence Winters, "The degree of color intensity, fluidity of scene transitions, and the clarity and smoothness are all worth learning and referencing."
The people in the meeting room initially thought they had done well enough, but watching the special effects short film brought out by Kenneth Osborne made them gradually calm down.
Really, you don’t know until you compare—what a shock.
Compared to this five-minute special effects short film, their effects were visibly a grade lower.
"Mr. Osborne, can this special effects short film be shared with us?" The technical director of the special effects subsidiary implored, "So we can study it thoroughly."
"No problem, it’s intended for your study," Kenneth Osborne said while sending the link, "This short film is stored in the cloud account, and you can download it for careful analysis."
"Mr. Osborne, was this short film also made using our company’s software? Did you make it?" The design employee’s eyes were almost shining, "The colors are truly stunning! Look at that bee!"
Kenneth Osborne noncommittally smiled and said, "This short film is for technical reference for you, the specific scenes in the TV drama have already changed, remember?"
This was the climax scene where the male and female leads confessed to each other, revised collaboratively by Lawrence Winters and the director, different from the first version of special effects Lawrence Winters created.
The technical director hurriedly explained, "It has been revised; we utilized virtual shadow technology to animate the male and female leads’ images, fulfilling the scene requirements."
