So even at the same price, during such a period, movie studios would definitely choose Finn Lewis’s side, because time is money, for any movie studio and movie, the longer the production time, the higher the cost. This is common knowledge, just wages alone are not a small figure.
Additionally, Finn Lewis will likely upset a group of people, that is, the extras. If the NPC characters in this server, or the characters that some staff can control, can match their mouth movements with their speech.
As this special server still requires some preliminary data, Olivia Thatcher can provide many small-scale calculations, but data is still needed, so Finn Lewis exchanged for a Photon II computer, more advanced than the Photon I, with the overall performance roughly 3 times that of the Photon I… but the price is also 3 times that of the Photon I.
The Photon I only needs 9000 points, but Finn Lewis currently needs to spend 30,000 points to exchange for a Photon II computer. However, the cost is worth it, this is not just about a Photon II computer, it also brings up another issue, that is, the expansion of culture.
Many people in our country enjoy foreign movies, particularly big films from Floral Village, and within these blockbuster films, directors from Floral Village are promoting North Federation culture to the whole world. That’s why many people in our country think the North Federation is good, free, and has a pleasant environment, etc., without noticing the flaws in the North Federation.
A lot of people pay attention to domestic flight delays, but never pay attention to the fact that Flame Nation has the lowest rate of flight accidents in the world! Of course, this excludes countries without planes.
Many people see the wealth of the North Federation, the richness of the North Federation, and the high per capita income, but they have never paid attention to the fact that almost a fifth of the people in the North Federation live off government welfare. They are, in effect, in a state of debt for their entire lives, you could even say that they have no choice in life.
A lot of people see how free the North Federation is, how strong their legal system is, in the North Federation you can sue anyone, even if you decided to sue the president, but they have never seen the crime and unsolved case rates in the North Federation, which are among the lowest in the world. Of course, if you insist on comparing it with East China, then it doesn’t count. Moreover, in the North Federation, if you have money, you can hire renowned lawyers, commit terrible crimes and still walk out of court without worrying about being sentenced.
The law in the North Federation is the safeguard of many ordinary people, but at the same time it also safeguards the privileges of many rich people, because these laws allow them to live openly in this world within the legal limits, without having to worry about legal sanctions, unless you can fix the judge, the jury, the lawyer and so on.
Otherwise, you can only watch as they blatantly flout the law.
Many people see the prosperity of the North Federation, but they never see how poor the North Federation’s ability to withstand economic crises is, as well as how those so-called average income earners, once they encounter economic crises, once they lose their jobs, their finances will immediately collapse, and they will have to sell their houses, sell their cars, and eventually end up homeless on the street. Therefore, to understand a country in this world, you must understand it comprehensively.
Many people have a good impression of the North Federation, but they don’t know that facilities like airports and high-speed rail, Flame Nation has the world’s top mileage of high-speed rail, and Flame Nation’s airports are the best in the world in terms of safety, area, and comfort, etc.
And why do these give foreign people the impression that the North Federation is a free, beautiful, democratic country? It’s because of this cultural invasion, in which Floral Village plays an immeasurable role. If this server is controlled by Finn Lewis, when using it to shoot a film in Floral Village, it will inevitably be subject to a soft-side cultural invasion from Finn Lewis.
In this respect, Finn Lewis believes that Olivia Thatcher has the necessary skills, so Finn Lewis doesn’t doubt for a moment that this can be accomplished, and most importantly, Finn Lewis can improve the level of film production in his own country, making at least some contribution.
To put it bluntly, the so-called Flame Nation films not being suitable for the North Federation market, are all nonsense or simply discrimination, and the reason for this discrimination to occur is the difference in film levels.
Nowadays films, even though the plot is essential, visual effects can also occupy a large portion of the film. Is it because of cultural differences that Flame Nation films are not suitable for foreign markets, but foreign films are very popular in Flame Nation? Is it simply because of so-called commercial blockbusters? Absolutely not, a large part of it is because our own films aren’t as interesting to watch, this forces us to watch foreign blockbusters when we want to enjoy some film effects.
If you want to watch it, then you will have to adapt to their culture. Finn Lewis doesn’t believe that among the general audience watching western films, there won’t be any scenes they can’t accept.
The arrival of Temel accelerated this pace. Three days later, Finn directly contacted Temel and told him that the server was ready.
Upon receiving this news, Temel was taken aback, he didn’t expect Finn’s side to be so efficient, but Temel contacted his home country immediately, even though Finn’s side was efficient, this time only Temel came, the director of “Monster World” and other people involved had not come to Flame Nation yet.
Indeed, it was the director of “Monster World” who suggested that Temel come, he had watched the movie screened by Finn’s team and thought that “Monster World”, which was similar to Finn’s movie, could completely reduce costs and deliver better effects, especially since there are many spells in “Monster World” that would be incredibly complex if done with special effects.
And those would be very expensive, but we wouldn’t need to worry about that here.
After receiving a call from Temel, Duncan Jones immediately took a charter flight from the North Federation, and he didn’t just come alone, he brought his entire team of technicians, including the assistant director and technical personnel in effects, lighting, etc. Of course, the special effects technicians here are not from the special effects company but from Duncan’s team.
