Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 482 - 481: Predicament

This kind of technology is something they must obtain, a crucial technology for the survival of film companies.

People in the film company know that if they can't keep pace with the times in filming holographic movies, they will all be eliminated by history.

Just like sound movies replaced silent movies, color movies replaced black and white movies.

And previously, 3D movies almost replaced 2D movies, now holographic movies are just repeating the past events once more.

This is a historical trend that cannot be changed by human effort, only by adapting to the development of the times can one avoid elimination.

In this situation, the bosses of the film companies all gave their employees strict orders to find Jiang Cheng.

Either obtain the technology to film holographic movies quickly, or else don't return this time.

This time, they were all pushed to the limit by their bosses, exerting every possible effort to persuade Jiang Cheng to relent and obtain the desired technology.

What is Jiang Cheng thinking on his side? Why is he unwilling to cooperate with these film companies?

No one knows what Jiang Cheng is thinking now, only he himself understands why.

Jiang Cheng is unwilling to immediately cooperate with film companies because he wants to film holographic movies for his own country.

He knows the first holographic movie's success will definitely be a blockbuster hit.

If such a movie is produced by Huaxia itself, it would be a great development for Huaxian cinema.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng plans to use this movie to promote Huaxian culture globally.

Hollywood movies have dominated the world for so many years, Jiang Cheng wants to use holographic movie technology to break Hollywood's control over the global market.

Because of these reasons, Jiang Cheng is unwilling to immediately release the technology for filming holographic movies.

To be honest, Jiang Cheng doesn't trust the domestic film companies at all.

He looks down on the movies they make; entrusting the reputation of the first holographic movie to these money-driven companies makes him extremely uneasy.

But if Jiang Cheng were to take charge of the filming himself, he knows little about filmmaking techniques and isn't very confident.

Jiang Cheng has always disliked meddling in things he's not good at, and the key issue is he doesn't know who would be a suitable director, so he hasn't decided yet.

Because of these factors, the situation has come to a stalemate.

Not only are the people from those film companies anxious, but those from the cinema chains are also starting to worry.

They have already begun renovating their cinemas, and it won't be long before the renovations are complete.

But now, although cinemas are ready, there's no film in sight, causing the company people to become anxious.

After all, if the cinemas are renovated and there are no holographic films to show, even the best projection equipment would just collect dust.

Anxiously, people from the cinema chains approached Jiang Cheng, urging him to sell his holographic projection technology immediately.

If they don't start filming holographic movies soon, they won't keep pace with the cinema renovation schedule.

Originally, the renovation speed they anticipated was just in time, with cinema renovations finishing just as the film companies wrapped up their filming.

It would be perfect timing for showing them right away. But now, Jiang Cheng's actions disrupted the cinema's plans, and they might face the embarrassing situation of having no films to show.

Facing these partners' requests, Jiang Cheng knows he can't continue delaying this time.

After all, these companies are now his partners; if he undermines them, it would be a massive blow to Cosmic Umbrella Company's reputation.

Company reputation is extremely important, as no one would want to partner with a company that undermines its partners.

So now Jiang Cheng has to change his initial thought, directly instructing Zhang Manlin to start formal negotiations with the film companies.

Negotiating the sale of holographic scanning cameras, as for the related technology, they shouldn't even think about it.

Specific technology Jiang Cheng will only keep in his hands; to film holographic movies, they must come to him to buy special cameras.

Su realized doing it this way wouldn't change anything for Huaxia cinema.

For Huaxia cinema to truly rise, it relies on its own continuous efforts, not through means like Jiang Cheng's.

Moreover, regarding the first holographic movie, even if he sells the machines, Jiang Cheng is confident he can produce first.

Even if those companies buy the holographic scanning cameras now, they still can't start filming immediately.

Because this filming method is entirely new, requiring a period of adaptation, to proceed smoothly with filming.

Even just one continuity error is enough to give those crews a headache.

After all, the holographic scanning camera shoots without any blind spots.

No matter what continuity errors are present on set, the holographic scanning camera will faithfully record them.

If audiences see a bunch of things that shouldn't appear in the movie,

Films currently capable of using holographic technology would definitely be high-budget blockbusters, and if filming fails, those film companies would suffer huge losses.

The cost of the holographic scanning camera alone is a considerable expense.

This time Jiang Cheng is prepared to profit off these film companies heavily; he won't budge on the price.

If they want to buy filming machines from him, they must pay a price that satisfies Jiang Cheng.

Thus, those film companies must act cautiously, giving Jiang Cheng enough time to find someone to shoot a Huaxian holographic movie.

Moreover, there's a crucial problem regarding holographic movies that these film companies haven't considered, which is special effects production.

Since the first batch of holographic movies will undoubtedly be blockbusters, special effects are indispensable.

The audience is drawn in by special effects, and everything else, like plot and acting, serves the special effects.

It can be said that Hollywood blockbusters today, apart from spectacular special effects, have little else.

Currently, Hollywood blockbusters cannot do without special effects; at least a quarter of each film's runtime is created with special effect scenes.

And the special effects of holographic movies differ greatly from normal movies; this special effects technology is much more challenging than before.

Previously, special effects were just about adding virtual effects on a flat surface to show scenes that can't appear in reality.

But in holographic movies, former special effects technology is completely outdated.
