After obtaining approval from the director and having the boss of the film company personally view the one-minute special effects footage, he almost immediately made the decision to purchase a set of such engine software.
Of course, hardware upgrades were also necessary.
According to the contract, Gamestar Unreal Engine Studio would continue to provide after-sales service for ten years and would provide customized settings according to the client's requirements.
During this process, the data for any product produced by the company would be shared with Gamestar to facilitate the production of products that better suited the users' needs.
And the licensing fee was $50 million for ten years, with an annual payment of $5 million.
This was much cheaper compared to what SuRay Electronics offered. After all, they were not competitors, and there was also the possibility of future collaboration.
Because this film company had also reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Gamestar, they would also provide some necessary film talents to Gamestar in the future, assisting in the production of game adaptation films and providing high-quality film resources.
When the gaming industry entered its golden age, using real-life motion capture along with celebrity faces would definitely be a major highlight. With this relationship, it would be easier to find actors in the future.
With the cooperation settled, the head of the special effects team officially entered work mode, while Takayuki just stood by to watch the excitement.
He was good at developing games, but he didn't know much about things outside of gaming. It was a good opportunity for him to learn more.
In the future, he also had the idea of making a movie.
For example, he wanted to make "Final Fantasy: Advent of the Holy Son".
Now was a good opportunity to learn the production methods of American blockbusters. Learning how to make movies from books was definitely not as efficient as learning from a real Hollywood director.
Ayame Tsukino had been by Takayuki's side during this time, occasionally helping the engine development studio solve some coding problems and assisting them in adding specific features to the engine.
Having such a top-notch programming talent was really rare, and many troublesome problems could be easily solved.
"Finally, the shooting is over, Mr. Takayuki. We'll be counting on you next. It can be said that success or failure depends on you."
After more than half a month, Green finally completed all the shots, and the next task was post-production special effects.
These would all be handled by Gamestar Special Effects Studio, but the director would still supervise to ensure that the final product matched his original vision.
But here, he emphasized and entrusted everyone once again.
Takayuki said, "Mr. Green, you're too kind. This is their job, and they will do their best to fulfill your requirements. If they don't cooperate, just let me know anytime."
Green nodded, "Thank you very much for your understanding, Mr. Takayuki."
He paused and then said, "By the way, Mr. Takayuki, the boss of the film company just called me. He hopes to invite you to attend a banquet. He said it's an opportunity to mingle with the film industry, which might help with the sales of your software."
Takayuki said, "Of course, I can go. When is it specifically?"
"It's tomorrow, and I'll be there too. It's also an opportunity for me to promote my new work to industry insiders and ask for their support."
Takayuki nodded, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After that, Takayuki left the shooting location with his employees and Ayame Tsukino.
The employees drove ahead in the van, while Takayuki drove the company's car alone with Ayame Tsukino following behind.
Ayame Tsukino remained silent throughout the journey.
In front of others, she still wrapped herself up tightly, but it was not as extreme as before.
Now, it was almost evident that she was a beautiful woman, but people still felt a bit regretful that this beauty had a somewhat 'bulky' appearance.
Takayuki glanced at Ayame Tsukino through the rearview mirror and then casually asked, "Are you interested in tomorrow's banquet?"
"Not interested."
Ayame Tsukino replied bluntly.
In her heart, there was only video games, programming, and a few other things like her own little nest. Anything else couldn't pique her interest.
If she were asked to attend a banquet, it would be akin to slow suicide. She would go crazy if she had to appear in overly crowded places.
However, that was the old her. Now, as long as no one touched her, she could tolerate slightly crowded environments.
"Well." Takayuki said, "What if it's as my companion? It has nothing to do with your personal interests."
Ayame Tsukino's body suddenly stiffened for a moment, then she looked up at Takayuki through the rearview mirror.
At that moment, Takayuki happened to be looking at Ayame Tsukino through the rearview mirror.
"Keep your eyes on the road." Ayame Tsukino reminded Takayuki in a calm tone.
"Oh."
Takayuki withdrew his gaze.
He thought that bringing Ayame Tsukino to the banquet was probably not going to happen.
At this moment, Ayame Tsukino suddenly spoke up, "If it's your invitation, I can go. After all, you're my boss."
Hearing this, Takayuki was astonished, and he turned his head directly to look at Ayame Tsukino in the back seat.
"Keep your eyes on the road! Do you want us to die?"
Ayame Tsukino suddenly panicked a bit, wanting to reach out and push Takayuki's head back, but she didn't dare to because of her fear of physical contact. It was a complicated feeling.
Takayuki also looked back at the road again.
"What did you just say?"
"Don't make me repeat myself."
Ayame Tsukino turned her head to look out of the window, trying her best not to appear in the rearview mirror, so Takayuki couldn't see her current expression.
The scenery on the street kept passing by in Ayame Tsukino's bright eyes. As they passed by, it seemed that there were also scattered starlights twinkling in her eyes, creating a particularly dreamy scene.
Of course, Takayuki couldn't see this scene.
He just couldn't help but want to smile.
It was irresistible.
"What are you going to wear tomorrow?"
"The thicker, the better." Ayame Tsukino immediately replied.
"Well, it fits your character."
Takayuki nodded.
Finally, the car stopped at a hotel near the office.
"See you tomorrow."
Ayame Tsukino bid farewell to Takayuki and then decisively opened the car door and quickly disappeared behind the hotel's door, leaving Takayuki alone in the underground parking lot. He parked the car and then entered his hotel room, pondering what to wear tomorrow with a hand on his chin.
Meanwhile, Ayame Tsukino, who was staying in the adjacent room, leaned against the door with her head down, lost in thought about something.
