Ding Yue’s mind quickly generated an idea.
Since the special effects production company for "Wandering Earth" suddenly raised their prices, and all the other dostic special effects studios were in cahoots, turning to foreign Hollywood special effects companies would be too costly.
Faced with such a situation, why couldn’t I establish my own special effects studio?
In the future, the film and television academy at Mist City Arts and Science University and Feiyue dia were definitely going to produce more films and TV dramas, and there would be a great demand for special effects in this aspect.
If others have control over our "lifeline" now, what will it be like in the future?
Having my own special effects studio, and on top of that, having my own production team, would enable to form a full industry chain and handle all the production processes.
As long as the wages I offer are high enough, there won’t be a shortage of people willing to do special effects for .
The most critical point is.
The first thing Ding Yue thought of was the students at Mist City Arts and Science University; they might be the sharp sword to break this deadlock.
"Director Zhu, do we have any students in the film and television academy who are particularly skilled in special effects production?"
Ding Yue imdiately looked at Director Zhu Youzhao and asked.
Because the field of film and television special effects is not a separate university major but involves many different disciplines related to graphics, visual 3D, and various other relevant majors, anyone from these areas could beco talent in the field of movie special effects.
Even under the animation major, there are corresponding courses and the like.
"Although our university does not have a dedicated film and television special effects major, we do have related courses that involve multiple majors within the film and television academy. Among these, there should be quite formidable talents in the animation major. Principal Ding, are you suggesting?"
Director Zhu Youzhao replied, then he "got" Principal Ding’s idea and looked slightly surprised.
"Exactly!"
Ding Yue imdiately nodded and confidently said with a smile, "Since Sumr Light Shadow Special Effects Studio is going to bail on us, why don’t we take matters into our own hands and establish our own special effects studio? From then on, we could settle this once and for all!"
"It’s a good idea, Principal Ding, but... to set up our own special effects studio, we will need a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources, and even ti. If that’s the case, our ’Wandering Earth’ project will likely have to be postponed."
Upon hearing this, Director Su Yangfan agreed with Principal Ding’s idea without even having to think about it.
However, as good as the idea was, it also had obvious drawbacks.
As for manpower, material resources, financial resources, and all that, Su Yangfan believed it wouldn’t be difficult to resolve with the capabilities of Mist City Arts and Science University. The issue was ti, as the science fiction movie "Wandering Earth" definitely couldn’t be produced smoothly.
After all, they had to first establish their own special effects studio.
Even if Sumr Light Shadow Special Effects Studio hadn’t flaked, it was still possible that the post-production and special effects might not proceed smoothly as planned, let alone now that they need to set up their own studio first.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yue took a deep breath and calmly said, "It’s okay if it’s delayed a bit, and given the foundation of our students at Mist City Arts and Science University, they might not need too much ti to get the hang of it."
Ding Yue thought for a mont.
Originally, filming for "Wandering Earth" would finish in September, followed by post-production and special effects stages. If all went well, the movie could be released during February of next year, the Spring Festival period.
The ideal scenario would be to make it for this year’s Spring Festival Period.
But given the current situation, it’s understandable that they would be worried about not making it in ti for the Spring Festival Period.
However, Ding Yue was quite confident.
Because he, Ding Yue, could use reputation points in the system mall to exchange for exquisite skills in film and television special effects production, and then endow selected students with these skills. Surely, that would allow them to progress swiftly, wouldn’t it?
In terms of technical levels, there are no issues with using special effects production techniques exchanged from the system mall.
But!
It was as Director Su Yangfan said; perhaps they would need to race against ti.
"If Principal Ding says so, it might be worth a try. It would be perfect if ’Wandering Earth’ could be premiered during the Spring Festival Period. If we can’t make it, Principal Ding, should we opt for the National Day Golden Ti or the Sumr Vocation?"
Director Zhu Youzhao further inquired.
"If we can’t make the Spring Festival Period, then let’s aim for the sumr vacation period," Ding Yue considered and then decided. If they truly couldn’t make it in ti for the coveted Spring Festival Period, that would be a sha, but if things didn’t go smoothly, they would have to go with the Sumr Vocation.
There are three busy periods within a year for Xia Country’s film market.
Among them, the Spring Festival Period needs no introduction, as almost every year, there are blockbuster hits.
Moreover, the Spring Festival Period is the most effective ti for generating high box office returns, and many powerful movies choose to premiere during this period.
Next would be the Sumr Vocation.
Although the National Day Golden Ti is also a favorable ti for movie releases, it lacks a bit of flavor compared to the Sumr Vocation.
The Sumr Vocation is long and often produces high-grossing, high-quality movies.
Then cos the National Day Golden Ti.
"Director Zhu, please call together the students and teachers from the film and television academy and any other majors related to special effects production. Let’s mobilize them," said Ding Yue.
Having decided to create his own special effects studio, Ding Yue imdiately took action.
