Chapter 343 Costumes and props

Olson took a sip of water and continued working.

He has been very busy recently.

Because he is planning a new company.

Compared with when it was first established, Apple's market value has more than doubled, with millions of units sold every year, as well as the Microsoft II computer with the same million-selling volume, and computer printers that can definitely be called killers.

With a computer printer, documents can be printed easily. No matter what industry you are in, your eyes often light up when you see a computer printer. Although the price is as high as 5,000 US dollars, there are still hundreds of thousands of them every year.

Sales volume. And because the patent is in hand, other companies cannot copy it.

But at this time, the company's strategy will begin to adjust.

Apple will gradually become a manufacturer of high-end consumer goods and office supplies. Apple will completely become synonymous with "fashion", "popular" and "high-end".

To be honest, Olson feels that he only needs to launch a high-end brand and a low-end brand, and there is no need to split them at all.

But now, Olson has realized that Catherine's ambitions are not just in the electronics industry.

The new Orange Company that is spun off will be different from Le Company. Orange will be a pure supplier of electronic products, while Le Company will begin to make strategic adjustments.

The Walkman is such a symbol.

Orange, the Orange Company, will get Apple's minicomputer business, and some low-end products will also be spun off and handed over to Orange.

The logo has already been designed, it is an orange with a leaf. Put it together with the bitten apple, it really has a strange feeling. Because the style is the same, it is easy to think of these two.

A company that is like a twin brother.

After the establishment of the new company, Olson will be transferred from the position of president of Apple and then join Orange. He even sold all his shares and then transferred his shares to Orange——

Of course, these are all internal transactions because the company is not listed at all.

Olson is very passionate about minicomputers. Since the minicomputer business has been divested, he naturally cannot let it go.

For companies, they are not short of money, but they are short of technical backbones. However, there are so many college students graduating in the United States every year, but there are only a limited number of graduates for the electronics industry. In addition, there are other companies and the like, which have always been

There are too many monks and too little porridge.

In fact, the high-tech industries in the United States and even Europe are short of people. This is why in the 21st century, Chinese IT industry professionals are called "IT migrant workers", but once they go abroad, they can get high salaries.

The reason. After all, not every country has a huge population advantage like China. In this regard, even India cannot compare. That country where compulsory education has not yet become popular can only cultivate a small number of elites and elites.

Most pigs have no advantages at all compared to China.

The lack of technicians is the biggest headache for Ark Group now. So they now have money in their hands but nowhere to spend it. For example, the development of the current ternary computer has almost stagnated because the backbone of it is all gone.

He was transferred to other departments. Although there was sufficient funding, no one was involved in development.

Fortunately, the special trainees that Intel has negotiated with Stanford University are about to graduate, and hundreds of graduates will be able to join the company by then. And Orange, which was established at that time, will not have much pressure.

"Orange..." is really catchy to read.

Olson is already looking forward to this. This newly established company...

…

Catherine is here now supervising the beginning of the film.

This part does not require actors, but mainly relies on the artist's skills and skills.

The content of this part mainly describes the process of manufacturing prosthetic bodies by machines.

Although Catherine slightly modified the plot, most of it was retained.

This scene is the process of making the prosthetic body of the female protagonist who was forcibly transformed into a toy.

Since it is a science fiction series, it is better to get to the theme at the beginning. And this picture at the beginning is the best. Such a future world and such pictures must be shocking. Catherine said this

Full of confidence.

As for the miniature model of the city, it was completed yesterday. As long as it matches the lighting and bird's-eye view, and uses DreamWorks' unique special effects production technology, there will definitely be no bugs.

Due to limited time, Catherine went directly to the next step, which is the production of the current opening scene.

The first scene shows the protagonist's electronic brain being installed into the prosthesis, and then it turns into a black screen with the green code 010101 scrolling.

Then there is a picture describing the entire shape of the prosthetic body from bottom to top.

Then, the created prosthetic body was 3D scanned. At this time, the screen showed a green human shape made of lines.

Catherine, this is modeled after the scene in the theatrical version of "Ghost in the Shell".

But the original picture was too "Japanese", and the symbolic meaning was stronger than the "scientific sense", so Catherine made a slight modification. The assembly of each part, the structure of the mechanical assembly tentacles, etc., are all original versions

It is not found in the painting. Moreover, the picture has a more "metallic feel", which is also Catherine's "original".

"Good-job!"

Catherine expressed satisfaction with the storyboards, but the specific production was a long-term process - they were not producing ordinary animation works, but creating something that could be fake or real in virtual reality.

At the same time, Lucas and Spielberg found Jenny at this time.

"That is to say...you need clothes made of futuristic materials?"

After some explanations from the two of them, she seemed to understand their intentions.

"Yes, we originally saw those kind of shiny clothes at Angel Clothing Design Company, but unfortunately, when we went there later, those kind of clothes were no longer available. Later, we went through all the troubles and finally found them.

We found a designer…and then we found you.”

These two people are directors under DreamWorks, and Catherine will be the protagonist this time.

Jenny was willing to meet them for this reason, otherwise, she would not have to pay attention to them at all.

And Jenny really finds Catherine’s role as the protagonist quite interesting.

"I think you also know that I am studying medicine, and that special material is just a by-product of artificial skin."

This was a substandard product when Jenny was making artificial skin, but it was used by Lisa to make clothes, and the effect was surprisingly good. To be honest, this kind of rubber is very different from the rubber in Catherine's original world.

After all, this is a material developed based on the characteristics of human skin, not clothes that take other factors into consideration.

Because of this, such materials do not consider aging issues at all, so they cannot be used after two or three months.

"Well... I currently have two materials suitable for clothing. One is the kind you saw in angel clothing before, and the other is liquid rubber with high breathability and high toughness."

Jenny thought for a while and answered like this.

Although they currently have many types of products, there are only two types that are suitable for use as clothes.

"Can you tell us about the liquid clothing? We want the clothes to be a little sparkling," Spielberg said.

"Yes, it must be shiny, gold or something, I like it the most."

Lucas is very passionate about the future, science fiction and so on.

"It's shining gold...let me think about it..."

This material was only invented accidentally when making human skin. Because they have always wanted to develop an artificial skin, they thought of liquid skin but still failed. But speaking of it, such silicone and rubber

There is no problem if the product is used to make clothes, and the toughness is enough. However, the shelf life of this kind of clothes is very short, and it will age in two to three months at most, so she has not considered such a thing at all.

Except for Lisa who made some products last time because of such rubber clothing, there are really no products that have been made into clothing-Lisa is just a three-minute hit.

"Although liquid rubber is the closest to the body, the most breathable, and the toughest, it is too difficult to make it 'golden' or something like that. Because it is liquid molded, it is difficult to make the surface smooth... By the way!" Jenny suddenly said

What comes to mind: "Is it okay if the clothes are made thicker and then polished?"

It seems so. He is truly worthy of being a top student at Columbia University. Lucas nodded secretly, and the more he looked at this intellectual girl who was about the same age as himself, the more he liked him.

"By the way, what color do you need?" Jenny asked again.

"This... the more the merrier." Spielberg thought for a while and then said. These clothes are "future" clothes and must be worn by extras.

"We need slightly better materials for the protagonist's costumes, but for the other extras... it doesn't matter if they use slightly worse materials."

"Well, let's use liquid rubber for the protagonist's clothes, and use slightly cheaper clothes for the others." Spielberg is still very calm. After all, if it is liquid rubber plus polishing, it will be fine.

The cost is definitely high.

"Well...then that's it."

The matter was settled, Jenny nodded.

At this time, Lucas reminded again: "Yeah, but it must be shiny, it must be golden!"

"Don't worry, as long as the rubber material is coated with talcum powder, it will almost always shine."

It seems like he really likes Glitter?

…

Someone suggested writing this story into a short H-novel...

What do you think of this opinion? Well...it probably contains tens of thousands of words, right?
