Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau-Chapter 721 - 373: Says No, but Her Body Is Honest (Third Update, Please Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Kenneth Osborne said beside, "The method Nora used is exactly what I taught you. Just now, I was observing from the side throughout the process, and she didn’t use any other auxiliary means, so our system software can achieve this result."
Director Jiang’s smile was a bit strained, "...But what if we can’t achieve this result? We can’t possibly have Manager Winters redo all the master copies, right?"
Spring Spencer spoke up at this point.
She praised Lawrence Winters with a charming smile, "I didn’t expect Manager Winters to have such a trick up his sleeve! No wonder President Kenneth praises you so highly! Look at this picture quality, this color, it’s on par with Micro Tower Company abroad!"
"This effect was personally fine-tuned by Manager Winters, like handcrafted masterpieces that big machine production can never match."
Then she changed the subject and continued, "But this drama has fifty episodes, each forty-five minutes long, totaling two thousand two hundred and fifty minutes."
"According to Manager Winters’s speed, every five-minute short film takes ten minutes to produce, which amounts to twenty-two thousand five hundred minutes, converting to hours, that’s three hundred and seventy-five hours. Working twenty-four hours a day, it’ll take sixteen days to complete all the production."
"This excludes the time it takes for every employee to receive training, having everyone work sixteen days, twenty-four hours a day, may still not achieve Manager Winters’s effect."
"Why? Because it’s impossible for Manager Winters to produce all the episodes herself, we need teamwork."
"What does teamwork mean? It means everyone uses different voice commands, so the effect can never be unified."
"So who will do the final coordination? How long will it take to monitor all fifty episodes down to every minute and every second? — We don’t have that much time left, the television trade festival is about to begin, if we miss this year, we’ll have to wait until next year, or directly seek buyers, which is unrealistic."
Although Spring Spencer wasn’t speaking in technical language for visual effects, she was indeed addressing practical issues in production.
Director Jiang nodded repeatedly, "That’s the point! President Spring understands!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Spring Spencer said with a smile, "Actually, I understand Manager Winters and President Kenneth’s intentions and admire your pursuit of quality excellence. Handcrafted production is feasible on a small scale, but in the era of big industry, handcrafted production has become a symbol of backward productivity."
"We all know that the pursuit of quality has its limit, exceeding this limit not only affects efficiency but also exponentially increases costs, which is diminishing marginal returns, so we need to make trade-offs. Because no one can achieve perfection, everyone can only continue to explore and grow in the pursuit of perfection that can never be reached. — President Kenneth, Director Jiang, Manager Winters, don’t you agree?"
"For example, in ancient times, a skilled embroiderer could spend a month or a year making a delicate garment. That quality would naturally be top-notch."
"But now is the era of big industry, where machines can make thousands of garments in a day, and the quality is still pretty good, though not quite matching the embroiderer’s handcrafted work, it’s not far behind."
"The bigger modern enterprises are, the more they earn, relying on this scale effect."
"As a special effects production company, we should also embrace the era of big industry rather than remain complacent and short-sighted."
She spoke in a very tactful way, aligning with the basic understanding of people in modern business life.
Director Jiang couldn’t help but praise.
Kenneth Osborne frowned.
He wanted to argue but didn’t know where to begin.
After all, in his position now, he’s both a manager and a technical personnel, facing a difficult choice.
Lawrence Winters blinked, also knowing it’s certainly not feasible for her alone.
Spring Spencer’s metaphor was quite convincing, but Lawrence Winters still felt something was off.
She pursed her lips and picked up the mineral water bottle on the conference table, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip to calm herself, her mind swiftly turning, thinking about how to connect the pursuit of quality excellence with large-scale production.
Spring Spencer thought she had convinced Lawrence as she remained silent and turned to Kenneth Osborne, "President Kenneth, we should have reached an agreement by now, if you don’t have any further opinions, tomorrow we can..."
Lawrence Winters suddenly had a flash of inspiration and interrupted Spring Spencer loudly, "What if I have a way? What if I have a way where quality and efficiency are not in conflict?"
