At night, countless people's alarm clocks rang.

Not for Kohaku Utakai, but for another animation.

A special episode of the "Sword Art Online" anime, which is a broadcast of the first four episodes.

Four episodes in one go, all in one go. This is the strength of Musashino.

Other animation companies simply cannot do this kind of thing.

And just recently, Musashino also split up, and the 3D department cooperated with part of A Company to establish a specialized 3D production company, which is also responsible for the motion capture technology of the movie.

Well, the last one... was actually an accident.

But Musashino still broke his original idea and came up with this thing.

Why?

Make money!

Yes, it’s profitable, very profitable. Movie-level motion capture technology is really, really profitable.

A company has been doing motion capture technology since the beginning. Because it was developed step by step by themselves, they also have the accumulation behind them.

Especially when it comes to facial technology capture.

Senxia's game facial technology capture technology is the strongest, and if you look at it including movie levels, although Senxia's can't be said to be the best, it can also be said that we are the cheapest.

There is a big difference between movie-level motion capture technology and game-level accuracy, and it is more expensive.

Everything has a so-called marginal effect, that is to say, within a certain level, one dollar can increase the intensity by 100%, but after exceeding the limit, one hundred dollars may only increase it by 10%.

Game-level motion capture technology belongs to the former, and you get what you pay for, while movie-level motion capture technology belongs to the latter, and you get what you pay for.

But even so, Sony Special Effects still came to cooperate with Senxia.

Why?

...so cheap!

While other people's solutions cost 30 to 50 million U.S. dollars, Company A only quoted 20 million U.S. dollars!

Twenty million dollars! Only twenty million dollars!

And if the requirements are not high, the cost can be further reduced, and even ten million US dollars is not out of the question.

Sen Xia was not surprised when Sony Pictures came to visit, but what he never expected was that there was actually a very important reason for this, that is, Sony Pictures and the game... actually did not deal with each other, and they were causing trouble between the two parties.

Woolen cloth.

This can also be traced in other world lines, especially in the PSP era, where the "Spider-Man" on the game side is competing with the movie side, and the two sides are really at war with each other.

So after the new solution was launched here, Sony discovered that the technology here is cheap and effective, and more importantly, it can also bring good things to the other side!

Therefore, Sony started to contact us before "The Lord of the Rings" was released.

After "The Lord of the Rings", "motion capture" has become a hot topic in the industry, and the fully motion-captured character Gollum has made the industry very eager for this technology.

Many people went to Weta Digital to inquire about the price, and then many people hurried away. Guaguai, $300-500 million for a special effect?

Slipping away.

At this time, news of the cooperation between Sony and Company A came, and many people suddenly realized: A few months ago, Company A, which makes game consoles, also launched a solution?

When I asked, hey, it really does exist, and the price is half the price of others!

Conscience!

There are also more and more orders and business.

Mori Xia saw that A Company couldn't bear it, and Musashino happened to be bigger, so he simply took out Musashino's 3D department and started it again with A Company.

A new club.

Although it is shameful, their most profitable business as a group that engages in animation, games, and two-dimensional animation is actually providing special effects for others.

By the way, in addition to maintaining the club and developing technology, the remaining profits were eventually turned into the fruit company's stocks, so that Gang Leader Qiao has been a little worried about what Sen Xia wants to do in the past few days.

In fact, at this time, Senxia didn't really have much idea about it. He was also paying attention to "Sword Art Online".

It's true that you can make money by doing special effects, but you can't spread your ideas by just doing special effects.

But industry A is different. I am also an "industry boss" in this industry.

Now, it's time for Senxia to spread his ideas.

There are three kinds of immortality in being a human being: establishing one's morality and meritorious deeds, and the West also says that one's highest need is the realization of self-worth.

For Sen Xia, simply making money is nothing.

The realization of self-worth and the dissemination of one's own thoughts are the most important.

Just like now.

"Asuna's white silk stockings..."

Hideki Kobayakawa was looking at the TV screen at this moment, and from time to time he looked at the animation characters of "Sword Art Online" on his computer.

In the final version, Asuna's clothing has been adjusted, the overall exposure of the clothing has been improved, the skirt has been shortened, and the clothes have been hollowed out.

Although it looks a bit extreme on the outside, Asuna's exposure level hasn't actually increased that much.

The reason is very simple, because there is a piece of white silk underneath Asuna's clothes, a piece of white silk that wraps her whole body.

Kobayakawa Hideki was immediately attracted to Asuna after seeing her voluptuous white stockings all over her body.

He didn't know that Musashino Animation had actually been studying this piece of all-white silk stockings for a whole month just to fine-tune the color.

At first, this white silk stocking was a fully wrapped ordinary tights, but Sen Xia was not satisfied.

The second time they changed it to shiny white silk, but it still didn't work.

The third time they changed into voluptuous translucent stockings, but they were criticized for being too erotic.

The production team made repeated adjustments like this, and finally decided on the final character design. This kind of white silk with a mercerized texture, a transparent color but not revealing the fleshy skin color, finally took shape.

And this effect is also impressive. Many people have been attracted to it after seeing this character design, even though these people had no idea about "Sword Art Online" before.

Kobayakawa Hideki belongs to another type.

He is a gamer.

Just a few hours ago, he was even immersed in another game.

The excellent plot of "Noah" made Hideki Kobayakawa feel empty in his heart after completing the game, so he began to search for content about "Sword Art Online" on the Internet, hoping to divert his attention.

Then at this time, Hideki Kobayakawa found the existence of p station in the qicq search engine.

This search engine was not made by Senxia, ​​but by Brother Xiaoma.

When Xiao Ma was making something before, he cooperated with Jiulang.com, and then he learned that a certain person named Li had developed a new generation of search engines.

Brother Ma then checked it out.

The result was that you wouldn’t know if you didn’t check it, but you were shocked when you checked it. It turns out that this engine is quite powerful. It is said that the Google girl next door was inspired by other people’s technology. However, the developer had a bad time in the lighthouse country, so he returned to China.

Did it myself.

Although Xiao Ma started playing games in this world line, his nature was still somewhat close to that of another world line, so he thought about whether he could also play games.

Then he discovered that it was really difficult to do this with his own technology.

But it doesn’t matter. Brother Xiao Ma directly obtained other people’s technology through commercial means and kicked the opponent out of the game. Then, Brother Xiao Ma integrated it with qicq and built a search engine.

Sen Xia also thought it was good, so he integrated the search engine into his side. He even asked Xiao Ma to do a local search so that players can directly search for their own software and files locally for convenient operations.

.

As a user, Hideki Kobayakawa didn't know the way behind it, but this search engine made him dependent. Since he got this engine, he likes to copy whatever he encounters that interests him.

Then paste and search to see if there is any related news.

And it was precisely because of this search engine that Hideki Kobayakawa found the P site.

Then, a brand new world appeared before his eyes.

Especially after Hideki Kobayakawa discovered that you could even buy books on this website.

Kobayakawa Hideki even bought all the books that he had not caught up with last year.

If he hadn't considered that he still had to earn money in "Sword Art Online", he might have spent all the money to buy notebooks.

"It seems that this New Year I can only eat dirt."

He sighed.

But at this moment, the advertisement in front of the TV...disappeared.

"Coming, coming!"

Kobayakawa Hideki immediately realized something.

He turned on the sound, turned off the lights, and turned up the TV's brightness and contrast.

"Kiritani Kazuto!"
