Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 483 - 482: Dream Fulfilled

The special effects of holographic movies require three-dimensional virtual images.

Simply the increased workload is not an easy thing to solve, because now all perspectives of the footage need to be processed.

If the workload for special effects before was a one, now the workload for holographic movie effects is a ten.

Even top-tier special effects companies cannot complete such an increased workload quickly.

However, Jiang Cheng does not have this problem on his end. Although Jiang Cheng knows little about filmmaking, special effects technology is well within his expertise.

To put it bluntly, movie special effects are about processing the original footage with computers.

Jiang Cheng is an expert in computer processing, and special effects processing does not require him to personally intervene.

Don't forget the existence of the Artificial Intelligence, Lucy. Although Lucy can't compare to real humans in terms of beauty or in emotional and creative aspects,

Lucy excels in matters like this, and special effects production is not a problem for her at all.

This kind of non-creative work only requires telling Lucy the desired visual effects, and she can complete all the tasks excellently.

Just the issue of work efficiency alone allows Lucy to outperform all special effects companies combined.

Ultimately, the people at those special effects companies are hard-pressed to match Lucy's computing power in this respect.

Lucy's current computational speed is much faster than the world's fastest supercomputer.

Even the computer effects produced by Lucy will far surpass those of other companies in realism.

Simulating realistic images to deceive the eye is something Artificial Intelligence excels at.

The computer effects made by Lucy can even fool professional photographers.

As long as Jiang Cheng hands over the unfinished film footage to Lucy for processing, there is no need to worry about the special effects.

Lucy will undoubtedly make the effects quickly and excellently, finishing ahead of other film companies.

Special effects in films are Jiang Cheng's ace in the hole, just this factor alone can save him a lot of time.

You must know that creating special effects is very time-consuming, sometimes more so than the actual filming of ordinary blockbusters.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng can concentrate on preparing his movie without fear of losing the title of being first to someone else.

While Jiang Cheng is not worried about the issue of time, many questions still trouble him.

Which movie should he shoot to be the first holographic film in the world?

And who should Jiang Cheng hire as a director to make this film brilliant?

The theme and director are extremely important, whereas other matters like casting can be left entirely to the director.

These tasks fall naturally within the director's duties, so Jiang Cheng does not need to worry about them.

As for the theme, Jiang Cheng soon had an idea. Since it's Huaxia's own holographic movie, something with Huaxia characteristics must be chosen.

The fairy and chivalry theme rich in Huaxia traits is Jiang Cheng's best choice.

The ethereal mood in fairy and chivalry is suitable for showcasing Huaxia features, and the genre is also rich in special effects, perfect for Lucy to utilize her skills.

Having decided on the fairy and chivalry theme, Jiang Cheng first thought of the first fairy and chivalry novel he read.

The "Swordsmen of Shu Mountain" novel was arguably the earliest fairy and chivalry novel and the first one Jiang Cheng read.

Jiang Cheng has long yearned for the fantastical scenes depicted in the book.

Now that Jiang Cheng has an opportunity to bring the novel's scenes to life, he certainly won't let it slip away easily.

So Jiang Cheng decided that the content he would begin preparing for filming would be to bring "Swordsmen of Shu Mountain" to the holographic movie stage, shooting a holographic version of Swordsmen of Shu Mountain.

Having decided, Jiang Cheng started looking forward to the movie's release.

The mere thought of being able to watch such a magical movie in an environment of holographic projection made him incredibly excited.

The magical artifacts and various intricate swordsmanship scenes, as well as the incredibly majestic landscapes in the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain.

When Jiang Cheng read this novel at the time, he could already imagine the beautiful scenes in his mind, entering that wonderful world countless times in his dreams.

Now Jiang Cheng has a chance to realize the fantasies of those days, and this opportunity fills him with motivation, making him eager to start filming immediately.

Now that the holographic movie's theme is prepared, the next issue is the choice of director.

In the filmmaking process, the director is an extremely important role, and it's not an exaggeration to call them the creator of the film.

But the choice of director is quite troubling for Jiang Cheng because the director is just too important.

This makes him hesitant to make a hasty decision, for if the director cannot control the entire film, it would be a disaster for the movie itself.

For a movie, the director can decide its ultimate success or failure. Whether it becomes a classic film or a complete flop largely depends on the director's skill.

Jiang Cheng values the matter of the holographic movie greatly, so he does not want to make a quick selection.

If he chooses a wrong director, not even the best effects Lucy produces can salvage the movie's failure.

Jiang Cheng is eager to shoot the first holographic movie and use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to propel Huaxia's film development.

He also aims to promote Huaxia culture and its unique charm to the world as a side benefit.

If the movie does not turn out well, then forget about developing Huaxia cinema or promoting Huaxia culture.

If the first holographic movie fails, it might even turn into a complete farce.

Given various concerns from different angles, Jiang Cheng is cautious about making any decisions.

Ultimately, he's not very familiar with Huaxia's directors, and deciding on one is not a simple matter.

This sends Jiang Cheng into a dilemma, losing interest in other things, unable to make a final decision even after several days.

While Jiang Cheng is still troubled by the choice of director, on the other side, Hollywood film companies are bustling with activity.

The giants in the film industry are each announcing the start of shooting holographic movies.

Numerous famous productions are entering the promotion phase, and many well-known sequels are adopting holographic filming technology.

These movies are all large-scale productions with high investments, featuring a very luxurious lineup of actors.

Just hearing the names of those big-name actors lets you know how substantial the film company's investments are.
