Chapter 126: Was the Shop Assistant Bitten by a Werewolf?
"But the production of animation..."
Murphy didn't say much, and directly threw out a thick notebook. "Here is the script and the general image of the animation, as well as key frame design drawings..."
The producers flipped through the notebook, which contained most of the creative work of an animation, and after looking at it for a few times, it felt as if ten thousand grass-mud horses had stepped over their heads, and their heads were buzzing.
This thing is not right!
This script quality, this character design, this composition!
This isn't Disney, is it?!
There are only a few companies in the world that can make feature-length animated films. Who doesn't know who?
Could it be that this new boss also dug a giant from Disney?
But where are the people? With such a giant leading the team, what else do they need to work hard for? Just follow behind and shout, wouldn't that be it?
"How many painters does our company have now?" Murphy asked after everyone had flipped through it.
Computer animation technology had not yet been popularized in 1990, and animation still mainly relied on hand-drawing. The number of painters directly determined the production speed of a movie.
"Painters... oh, painters, there are about fifty." The original CEO of Pict Company finally recovered from his confusion. "If you add the subcontracting companies we often cooperate with, there are about two hundred painters."
"Go recruit another hundred people, and then only draw key frames. I want to complete the production of all key frames within a month, and at the same time produce music. The deadline is also one month. It must be grand, have epic feelings, and have African elements..."
In fact, the entire animation is in Murphy's mind. Through some small magical tricks, it is very easy to reproduce all the pictures and music from his mind.
But on one hand, this takes a lot of his effort, and on the other hand, it is also difficult to explain.
Getting a setting collection and a script is one thing, but directly making an animated movie is another. With current animation technology, an animated movie usually requires hundreds of people to work together for a year or two to finish.
He directly took out a finished film, and a finished film with such a high degree of completion, which would definitely surprise friends.
Moreover, The Lion King has a very obvious Disney style. If he doesn't make some changes, it will also make the bitter master suspicious.
In addition, he also has the idea of incubating the company in his hands. By opening the market with a few high-quality animated films he copied, attracting talent, and casting a brand, he can finish collecting the money and let it grow on its own, and it can also continue to develop, right?
North Yorkshire.
In an ancient castle invisible to Muggles.
The meeting room was filled with smoke, and more than a dozen high-backed chairs were placed around a large round table. Two or three wizards were smoking pipes, and other wizards were spinning the wine glasses in their hands in boredom.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and an extremely tall wizard walked into the room, waved his hand, let the two wizards who stood up sit down again, and he also sat down on a high-backed chair.
"Gentlemen!" Albert Runcorn's expression was extremely serious. "I just came back from Selwyn's. Poor old Selwyn had to lock up Rasim. That kid was put under a very strong Imperius Curse and has completely become Murphy's lackey!"
Upon hearing this, a burst of curses immediately sounded in the room, but some also asked: "Does anyone know how he did it? Such a strong Imperius Curse, none of us here can do it, right?"
"I heard that he got the Dark Lord's diary from Lucius. Maybe he learned this kind of Black Magic from it."
"Isn't the diary in his hand fake?"
"Lucius later admitted to me that he had a real diary, which was stolen by Murphy."
"Damn kid!" someone cursed viciously. "I heard he is messing with some Wizard Security Shop, recruiting a lot of half-blood bastards. What does he want to do?"
"What else can he do? Just do the same thing we did back then."
"Just by him?!"
"If he can use that kind of Imperius Curse on everyone, he might not be able to become the next Dark Lord."
Everyone fell silent for a while, but Albert hummed and said: "Therefore, we must solve this trouble before he becomes a climate!"
"..."
Silence fell again, but suddenly another voice said: "Why do we have to go against him? That kid's ancestors were also one of our pure-bloods. Maybe pull him over?"
"Idiot, when have you seen him put us in his eyes? The Malfoy and Selwyn families, one didn't listen, either the house was blown up or the son was turned into a slave. Do you think if you pull him over, he will be willing to be on an equal footing with us?"
Although Malfoy is a hypocrite who likes to engage in some fancy artistic hobbies, and Selwyn is a pushover who spends all day dealing with magical creatures and is full of dung, no matter what, they are also members of their pure-blood circle, with a long history and ancient inheritance. Being stepped underfoot by someone so easily, everyone still feels a bit of rabbit dying and fox grieving.
"That's right, we must teach him a lesson before he becomes a climate!"
"However, how to do it? Even the Aurors can't do anything about him."
Everyone looked at Albert Runcorn again. "Albert, do you have any ideas?"
Albert lit a pipe and took a puff. "Aurors only know how to follow the rules. They can't take action against him without evidence. Doing things is cumbersome, so naturally, they can't do anything about him."
"We are not Aurors, we don't need to convict him." He said, exhaling a puff of smoke. "Greyback has always wanted to get close, right?"
"Now is his chance. It's time for those wolf cubs of his to play some role."
In May, Pict Company only took one month to complete most of the key frames of The Lion King, and basically completed the composition of the whole film, but it still needs some time for recording and editing.
By this time, the rest is just some post-production and publicity, which no longer requires Murphy's participation. His work focus shifted back to chip-related research.
Not long ago, he excavated the assembly language tutorial based on the ARM 64-bit architecture from the depths of his memory and clearly remembered the introduction part related to the ARM 64-bit processor architecture instruction set.
He provided this part of the content to the nascent ARM company, which is now under the Umbrella banner, and let them start instruction set and IP core circuit design based on this.
And only after this step is completed can the subsequent processor IC design and mask and other true engineering parts of the chip begin.
The 0.3-micron chip he wants to produce, in order to beat all high-end chip manufacturers with one blow, must use a brand-new architecture, a brand-new instruction set, and after monopolizing the market with a price-performance ratio that transcends the era, build his own ecosystem from the standard.
Therefore, an instruction set that can exert the capabilities of high-end chips better than the current x86 instruction set and has wider adaptability is a must-have thing.
In the past half month, Murphy has been running between the Chip Research Group and ARM Company, not paying much attention to the movements in the wizarding world, so it was not until a few days after the incident that he received the news from the owl sent by Locke.
Therefore, an instruction set that can better utilize the capabilities of high-end chips than the current x86 instruction set, and possesses broader adaptability, is something that must be completed.
