Chapter 2169: Advancement of assistive technology

Chapter 2157 Advancement of Assistive Technology (Chapter Three!)
After acquiring two comic companies, Yin Jun ’s film layout in the United States has basically reached the level of 2030, and he has a lot of confidence in it.
For the technical support of comic hero live-action movies, Kirin Group has also been advancing.
In the future special effects era, first of all, the digital field belongs to Yin Jun.
To this digital field that has become the world's largest special effects company, Yin Jun invested too much.
The previous commitment was to invest US $ 10 million annually for five consecutive years, and the funds did not dilute the management ’s shares.
But now that five years have passed, Yin Jun has invested a total of 200 million dollars in the digital field.
It is equivalent to 40 million dollars a year.
For Yin Jun's move, although the senior executives in the digital field have been diluted a lot of shares, they are also very willing in their hearts.
Because of all kinds of high-precision devices, all kinds of emerging computer special effects technology, and all top talents, all gathered in the digital field.
Seeing their companies become more and more developed, they certainly have a sense of accomplishment.
As for shares, it doesn't matter. Although the ratio is shrinking, the value is still rising.
Moreover, Yin Jun has never treated them badly in terms of salary and dividends.
George Lucas has complained to Yin Jun several times, saying that several engineers who made industrial light and magic in this way have moved to the digital field. Does Yin Jun want to dig out his company?
This is certainly not the case.
Although industrial light and magic have been surpassed by the digital field, George Lucas is a Jew, and he has the copyright of "Star Wars" and "Puzzle Fighters" and other big IPs. The past special effects have been done well. Many companies came to him to do.
It's just that George Lucas is stingy on weekdays, and the salary and dividends are not too much, so some engineers have changed jobs before.
After he adjusted up the treatment, the hearts of the Industrial Light and Magic also stabilized.
After all, they have become familiar with an environment, and they are reluctant to change jobs and change their work and living habits.
But compared with the scale and achievements in the digital field, industrial light and magic have indeed fallen behind a lot in recent years.
But there is no way. George Lucas doesn't have much money to upgrade the industrial light magic.
Last year, his support for his ex-wife relied solely on Yin Jun to buy the Industrial Light and Magic Animation Working Group in order to be rich.
Of course, in fact, this guy is also very bad.
He diversified all his money out of investment, and then pretended to borrow a large amount of debt, so that when dividing the property, his ex-wife did not get much.
Then George Lucas was desperately impoverished. He had no money, and even selling the company's business, he would not expose his previous property.
In fact, with George Lucas' hard work for so many years, his assets are at least more than 500 million US dollars.
In addition to the special effects in the digital field, IMAX technology also belongs to Yin Jun.
Yin Jun also invested a lot of money in them for their development.
Mainly to continuously increase the effect of IMAX, and then on the other hand desperately reduce the cost of various equipment, shooting costs, etc.
Only in this way will IMAX continue to develop rapidly and become the mainstream of the future movie world.
However, this is actually not very realistic.
When the IMAX screen was the largest, it was less than one-fifth of the total number of screens.
The really super-large IMAX screen is even more pitiful, and finally it was completely sealed by IMAX because of the cost.
So Yin Jun worked hard 20 years in advance to see if this ratio could be increased a bit.
Even if I do n’t get the super-large IMAX screen, the normal shrunk version of the IMAX screen is always okay?
After more than three years, there are more than 1,000 IMAX screens in the world, which is the labor achievement of IMAX.
An average of more than 20 IMAX movies per year cannot allow the IMAX screen to make a lot of money, but it will never lose money.
And there are so many loyal viewers on the IMAX screen. Once an authentic IMAX movie comes out, they will definitely not go to the ordinary version. Even if the price is three or five times that of the ordinary 2D screen, they are willing to watch the better IMAX screen movie .
Therefore, the bosses of the major cinema lines chose to retain the IMAX screen.
Not asking how much money it makes, just asking it to be a signboard and not losing money.
Inside, it still belongs to the joint art film company and Disney of Yin Jun, and the IMAX version of the film produced is the most authentic.
As the cost increases, the effect will naturally be better, so their IMAX is not a good movie that hangs on the sheep's head and sells dog meat, and can attract the audience to enter the IMAX theater.
But the question now is that IMAX has too few movies.
Especially good IMAX movies are too few.
If you can add three or five superhero movies a year, that is the best.
Unfortunately, today's various special effects can not meet the requirements, so in fact, Kirin Group shooting is still a bit of a pseudo-IMAX movie posture.
In addition to the IMAX screen, there is of course a very important film shooting and projection technology in the future-3D.
3D technology was popular for a while 15 years ago.
But because the quality of the movie is really not worthy of 3D, and the effect does not need to be displayed in 3D, so after the freshness of people passes, the 3D movie is completely cool.
Over the years, basically no commercial 3D movie has appeared, so we can see how unpopular this model is.
The copyright of 3D technology is very scattered, and about 17 companies all own various copyrights.
Every time a 3D movie is released, they will be given copyright fees, which is not a lot of expenses, but each will be given.
It's just that there hasn't been a 3D movie released in these years, so it's useless to hold the patent in their hands.
It should be known that the patent is generally 20 years, and this also needs to exclude the time during the application.
For example, if you apply for a patent in January 1985, the patent will come down in January 1988, three years later, and its patent period will be from January 85 to January 2005.
Yes.
You are not mistaken, counting from the date of application, not from the time when the approval is passed.
Daddy!
So for more than ten years, it must be very precious.
Everyone is desperately trying to make more money, and then make up for the previous research and development expenses.
Larger companies will continue to conduct research and development on the basis of these patents, and then upgrade the patents to maintain new patent rights.
Therefore, you can see that companies such as Toyota and Mercedes-Benz have maintained key patent rights for a long time. This is a result of continuous research and development. They are not applied for decades.
But this also depends on the situation.
If it is a patent that does not see the subsequent benefits, many companies will not maintain it at all, and it will expire after it is directly expired.
3D technology is like this in the eyes of many people, so from 25 companies with patents more than ten years ago, it has now become only 17 with patents.
And within the last three years, the patents of the five companies should have expired, and they did not continue to develop and upgrade ideas.
In the past few years, in addition to picking up the 3D technology that has been disclosed, Kirin Lab is basically trying to buy their patents, or at least obtain patent authorization.
Everyone knows that the Kirin Group is a fat sheep, and they know that they really want to use 3D technology. After all, Yin Jun ’s own business is to do movie entertainment.
But their confidence is not so sufficient.
Because everyone knows that 3D technology may be useful in the future, but in the last three or five years, it is certainly not very useful.
For a technology where almost all the patents will expire in the last 10 years, Kirin Lab idiots will pay a large price to buy.
The imbalance between supply and demand has naturally caused Kirin Lab to be a buyer's market, which is very strong.
If you want to sell, sell, I will pay a good price.
If it is not for sale, I will wait for your patent rights to expire, and I will use it again.
If you are willing to spend a lot of money to upgrade 3D patents, then I am quite convinced that we will look at it after three or five years to see if you will lose money!
Under this mentality and reality, Kirin Lab bought almost all 3D technology patents on the market.
Even if dozens of items are about to expire, they don't care.
The most important thing is that these technical reserves can come in handy and can catch up with the new research on 3D technology they are carrying out on a large scale.
This is the most important.
In fact, in the past few years, Kirin Lab has also applied for more than a dozen 3D patents, and there are 6 of them.
With the addition of these technology patents, more patents will be held by them in the future, thus occupying a more important position in the future 3D movie technology.
They don't think 3D technology will come in handy soon, but Yin Jun said that within 10 years new 3D movies will definitely come out, so they worked so hard to study.
For Yin Jun, they are very trustworthy and can be said to admire Yin Jun's vision.
They do not know the scale and prospects of post 3D movies.
According to Yin Jun's attitude, I am afraid that IMAX will be comparable in the future.
Then, the reward of the boss is also very generous. As long as you get the results according to his requirements, the huge rewards of hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars will definitely be given.
All are people who earn money to eat. For the US dollar thing ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Who doesn't like it?
Yin Jun also appreciated this idea of ​​the employees.
I am not afraid that you will come to the reward, but I am afraid that you will not get the reward under your efforts, which will make me unhappy.
The more technical reserves and the more new technology development, it will definitely be a huge improvement to the future film and television perception!
Future viewers can't do without 3D technology movies.
As long as I have mastered this technology, including special effects production technology, including IMAX technology, and the global film industry, do I have to look at my face?
