Chapter 672: Everyone Was Shocked

After he finished speaking, Mr. Fang asked curiously, “That’s right, Mr. Su, which company is this team of yours from? I’ve never heard of a company with such standards within China.”

Perhaps he was afraid that Su Yang would misunderstand, so he explained, “Actually, I’m not doubting you, but our company is already considered one of the first-tier companies within the country in terms of our technologies. Plus, I can say for sure that we’re definitely the best within the industry.

“There aren’t many special effects companies in the country, so I have been in contact with people from various companies.

“However, based on what I know, there isn’t a single company that’s able to produce such a level of special effect, is there?”

“In fact, fluid simulation of this level is the specialty of a company in Hollywood.

“Could it be… You’ve gone to that company to do this?”

As soon as Mr. Fang said that, everyone’s attention was focused on Su Yang. Even Guo Fan was taken aback as he looked at Su Yang.

After all, when Su Yang and Guo Fan were planning this movie, they treated it as a milestone for locally produced movies, a pioneering work of locally produced sci-fi movies.

Since it was mainly locally made, the special effects had to be done by a local special effects company.

Therefore, if Su Yang had gone to a special effects company in Hollywood for the sake of this movie’s special effects, although everyone might be understanding about the matter, they would definitely feel uncomfortable about it. Apart from that, they would think that Su Yang still did not have faith in his country’s capabilities by not supporting his own country’s special effects team.

Seeing that everyone’s eyes were on him, Su Yang smiled and said, “It’s not a Hollywood company. Do you know how much it would cost to have our movie done in Hollywood? I’m not a fool.”

Thanks to Su Yang’s joke, he managed to lighten the tense atmosphere in the screening room.

However, everyone was still curious about which China team was the one who did the clip.

After all, when Su Yang had a meeting with the company previously, he had only said that he wanted to produce the post-production rendering alone. However, he had never said which team he was going to give it to.

Therefore, everyone was indeed curious.

At that moment, Su Yang spoke. “Actually… This was not done by a team.”

Everyone suddenly became confused by Su Yang’s statement.

‘What does he mean by it wasn’t done by a team?

‘Are you telling me that this clip was actually done by just one person?’

Su Yang stood up and took out his glass phone. He swiped it and a girl who looked similar to Little Deeny appeared on the screen.

Su Yang said, “Mini Deeny, say hello to everyone in the company.”

The girl on the screen said, “Hello, everyone. I am Jiadian Group’s artificial intelligence, Mini Deeny. That special effects clip was all done by myself.”

That’s right. This was the plan that Su Yang came up with that could perfectly conceal his abilities!

Special effects production itself was an industry with a higher repetition rate which had a higher requirement for computing capabilities. Hence, it was just right for an artificial intelligence to have done it.

Furthermore, his artificial intelligence had been praised by the country and he was considered to be the best in the world. Hence, with that as the foundation, Su Yang’s plan was flawless.

That was why Su Yang dared to show off the abilities that he had obtained from the system, causing everyone to be shocked by his explanation.

Then, the entire screening room fell silent.

Everyone had thought of all kinds of possibilities, including the possibility that Su Yang had formed a team in secret, or that Su Yang owned the best team within the country, or even the possibility that Su Yang had secretly gone to Hollywood to hire a team.

However… They never expected Su Yang to say that the special effects were done by artificial intelligence…

After everyone was done being shocked, they started to have doubts.

Since Jiadian Pictures was in the creative industry, the working atmosphere there had always been relaxed and there weren’t any strict rules. On the other hand, the technical geeks were all stubborn and had no clue of how not to humiliate their company’s boss. Therefore, all of them stood out and questioned him.

“That’s impossible, Mr. Su. How could an artificial intelligence produce such detailed special effects?”

“He’s right, that’s too unbelievable!”

“I don’t believe it either. Are computers these days that advanced?”

As the employees were busy doubting Su Yang, Mr. Fang merely lowered his head and pondered.

After a while, he turned to his subordinates and said, “Stop arguing, all of you. Listen to what Mr. Su has to say.”

Then, he added with a serious expression, “However, after thinking about it, I feel that this is completely possible.

“Think about it, what is the most time-consuming step in special effects? It’s rendering.

“Our normal special effects production process is to design the shots for the special effects first before filming the motion capture. After that’s done, we will begin to add layers of rendering.

“Other than the initial design which requires us to utilize our creativity, what is the difference between using us and using machines to operate the other parts of the job? So, isn’t this the most suitable category for artificial intelligence to work on?

“This would also explain why Mr. Su did not want us to work on any renderings, but instead arranged for us to work on the pre-production special effects design and motion capture.

“On the other hand, if there really is another team, they could very well do all these parts of the job themselves, In fact, they would be able to do a much better job of it since they’d be working on it from the beginning.”

After he said that, he then looked at Su Yang. “Am I right, Mr. Su?”

Su Yang smiled and nodded. “Yes, you are.

“Seeing is believing. Let me show you how this artificial intelligence produced this special effects clip.”

As he said that, Su Yang opened another video file on the hard drive. This video file was a memory that Su Yang had extracted from his ability to create special effects through [A Videotape To Make Up For Regrets].

The contents of the video clearly recorded the process of selecting the special effects, as well as the process of laying down layers of materials and rendering.

With this video as proof, everyone had no choice but to accept the matter of the fact.

But… They received a shock because of this fact as well.

During the early stages when artificial intelligence was born, countless scientists had predicted that many jobs which required humans would be replaced by artificial intelligence.

However, when that day actually came, everyone still could not accept it.

‘Am I… Being replaced by artificial intelligence?’

Everyone could not help but have this question in their minds.

When Su Yang saw that everyone had been dealt a blow, he knew that this was a serious matter that he needed to handle properly in order not to destroy their self confidence. After all, they were all talents employed by his company.

Therefore, he quickly clapped his hands. After attracting everyone’s attention, he said, “Don’t doubt yourselves.

“Actually, all you have to do right now is to think from a different perspective. When we work on special effects, we are actually using softwares to add to work on the rendering and only need to press the “Confirm” button and adjust the angle. After that, the rest of the process would be handled by the software. Therefore, this is no different from artificial intelligence.

“So, I’ve only programmed for artificial intelligence to replace the part where everyone clicks on the confirm button. As for the concept settings, motion capture tests, the selection of suitable actors, clothes design and the filming against the green screen will all still need to be done by all of you.

“Then, the complicated and repetitive work would be left to artificial intelligence.”

Su Yang’s words coupled with his [Verbal Cannon] ability made everyone gradually accept everything.

After all, technology is something that is constantly being developed. So, in order to not get phased out, one would have to adapt to the situation.

In order to appease the team, Su Yang promised to write everyone’s names on the special effects production team. Su Yang would also take the time to teach everyone and improve their special effects production skills.

Fame and technology were the Achilles’ heel of the technological geeks. Immediately, all of the employees were happy and pumped up again. They were prepared to work together with the “artificial intelligence” to create the special effects of “Wandering Planet” and show the world that China also had decent special effects!

When the matter came to an end, Su Yang gave an order that no one was allowed to leak out what happened today.

Actually, Su Yang was not worried that this matter would affect him if it was leaked. Just like what he had planned earlier, his artificial intelligence was already famous enough. Even if this matter was leaked out, everyone would only be shocked once more and not suspect anything.

The reason why he wanted the matter concealed was because he did not want the special effects industry, which had just begun developing, to be affected.

Things were not easy for locally produced movies, nor was it easy for local special effects companies as well. Therefore, if Su Yang’s attempt to show off and lie caused the industry to fall into a panic and even change their professions right when Su Yang’s company was just about to take off, Su Yang would have to bear all the blame…

After the competition ended, the film company became united once again. Everyone quickly adapted to their new jobs. After all, they were only skipping the final process, which did not affect their job scope on the pre-production. In fact, they were more relaxed now.

Seeing that everyone in the company was pumped up as they got back to work, Su Yang said to Guo Fan, “You don’t have to worry about the special effects. With your blueprints and the storyboard, it would be sufficient for you to occasionally come here to make sure that we aren’t drifting away from what you have in mind.

“Instead, you’ll have to oversee and pay more attention to the remaining matters within the production crew. Also, you’ll have to follow up on the special effects design and the manufacturing of the props.

“Also, it’s time for you to consider working on the actor selection now.

“Even though there are many special effects scenes in our movie, many of them require the actors’ cooperation. So, if you don’t have them selected earlier to be trained beforehand, we won’t be able to complete the special effects.”

Guo Fan adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, “I understand that. That’s why I’ve been asking around within the industry to search for actors who fit the age requirement.

“I already have an idea for who the actress would be, who’s a pretty decent girl, but I haven’t got an ideal choice for the male lead. I feel that those slightly famous actors either have sub-par acting skills, or they’re too expensive. On the other hand, the ones who have decent acting skills aren’t very famous.”

Su Yang replied nonchalantly, “You don’t have to worry too much about that. Our movie focuses on special effects, which would also be what we’ll be focusing on when we promote the movie. As for the male and female leads, you don’t have to worry about their popularity, that won’t affect our movie much. Instead, it all depends on their acting skills.”

Guo Fan said, “I think so too. I want to choose an actor with excellent acting skills to act. It’s best to be more professional.”

Su Yang nodded. “I’ll let you decide on that. Also, even though our movie’s special effects are the most important, the script has to be above average as well and not let anyone criticize it. After all, the core of this movie is a national sentiment.”

Guo Fan turned to look at Su Yang and asked, “Mr. Su, do you think our script is above average?”
