Self-rescue failed.
After Zhu Xiaoce and everyone left, Pei Qian realized that this film didn’t require acting at all!
Just put in a few poses and make a few expressionless gestures!
The story is told through narration, and the narration is dubbed by director Zhu Xiaoce himself.
Pei Qian is said to be the leading actor, but in fact he is just a tool. His expressionless face is all the acting skills required by the director!
Pei Qian put his hand on his forehead, feeling that his situation was not very good.
The first level of triple insurance seems to have been half covered...
Now we can only hope that "Game Producer" and Moyu Internet Cafe can win back the victory. !
……
Before the Spring Festival holiday.
Ma Yang sent over the decoration plan of Moyu Internet Cafe.
Pei Qian took a look and found that it was done exactly according to his own requirements without any discounts.
Including small theaters and so on, we have also done it!
There are no discounts in the contract. The rent is paid directly on a quarterly basis. Three months' rent plus a deposit will cost you 1.2 million in an instant.
Renovation costs four to five hundred thousand.
Since this place is originally a single-family building, with a glass curtain wall on the outside and the original fine decoration of the restaurant on the inside, the decoration is not like starting from scratch like a rough house.
So the price of decoration is not that outrageous, it is mainly some structural modifications, such as zoning for Internet cafes and coffee shops, making bar counters, etc.
After that comes the price of purchasing various equipment.
50 high-end computers cost 26,000 each, which adds up to 1.3 million.
Add these all together, plus other expenses, such as purchasing tables and chairs, recruiting front desk, network management, chefs, etc., the initial investment will be more than three million.
Pei Qian was not distressed at all, but was very happy.
The higher the cost, the worse the loss, which is a good thing!
And the money was not taken out all at once.
First pay for the rent and decoration costs, and then start the construction and decoration after the new year. After the decoration is completed, you will need to purchase computers, recruit people, etc.
During this period, the two games have been making profits, and the expenses can be fully sustained.
Ma Yang is also very ambitious, and even proposed not to go home during the Chinese New Year and just stay here to watch the construction.
Pei Qian quickly stopped him.
If you don’t go home during the Chinese New Year, the decorator will still have to go home!
But seeing Ma Yang's enthusiastic and energetic look, Pei Qian felt relieved.
The more serious Ma Yang is, the greater the chance of failure in this matter!
Brothers make people feel at ease.
On the other side, the design draft of "Game Producer" has basically been completed.
Pei Qian passed another dayGo through the game flow, especially the text lines of the narration.
After reading it, I felt it was not enough.
It took three hours to change the text lines of the narration, which took the cynicism to another level.
Pei Qian himself was embarrassed to write some of the content.
Too much!
This is really too much!
But in order to lose money, Pei Qian had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue writing without conscience!
After completing the changes, send the document to Lu Mingliang, and it will be considered final.
"The next step is to go to the resource website to find art resource outsourcing."
"Find me the most expensive concept designer for the original painting, do you understand?"
< p>Pei Qian warned him again and again.Lu Mingliang nodded fiercely: "I understand, Mr. Pei! Like Brother Huang, I must strive for excellence and strictly control art resources!"
"Uh...then I After I find a painter, do I still need to say hello?"
Pei Qian thought for a moment: "No need."
Look for the most expensive concept designer. It's not much different. Pei Qian doesn't know much about the original painting. Whether he sees it or not won't have a big impact.
"Okay, Mr. Pei!"
After walking out of Pei Qian's office, Lu Mingliang couldn't help but sigh.
Mr. Pei not only strives for excellence in art resources, but also has so much trust in me as his subordinate!
It’s so touching!
I must complete the tasks assigned to me by Mr. Pei!
……
Art resources are very important to the game.
A beautiful skin can give players a good first impression and help increase game revenue.
Pei Qian knows this very well.
Then why do we still spend a lot of money on art resources? Doesn't he know that this goes against his desire to lose money?
Mainly because there is no better way!
The system is restricted and you cannot deliberately purchase inferior services. Everything Pei Qian purchases must be roughly consistent with its true value.
You can raise the price within a certain range, but it cannot be too outrageous.
If Pei Qian buys those very ordinary art resources, he will spend a lot of money!
With a little calculation, you will know where to spend the most money on making a game?
It’s just that art resources cost a lot!
If he doesn’t spend more money here, where else can Pei Qian spend more money?
So, if Pei Qian wants to increase the cost of the game, he must spend more on game resources.
Also, is it safe to buy cheap art resources?
The lessons of "Ghost General" are still fresh in my mind...
Find a painter at a low price, just in case you accidentally meet a big boss like Ruan Guangjian who pretends to be a newbie. , isn’t this a complete failure?
No money was spent, and the picture quality of the game was not good either.Go down.
That’s blood loss!
So, taking all things into consideration, it is most cost-effective to spend a lot of money on art resources.
Besides, the game "Game Producer" itself is not a screen-eating game.
If you want to lose money, you mainly rely on its boring gameplay and unbeatable narration.
In Pei Qian's opinion, as long as the gameplay and the unbeatable narration can successfully arouse the anger of players, then the game will be successful.
The picture looks good, so what can I do?
......
Back at his work station, Lu Mingliang opened the resource station and began to look for a suitable concept designer for the original painting.
In Lu Mingliang’s view, the conceptual design of the game “Game Producer” is very important.
Because a lot of the content in the game is to visualize abstract concepts.
For example, when a player chooses "Heavy Krypton" and "Light Krypton", these two different choices correspond to two different areas of the room, and different elements must be displayed in the areas.
“Heavy Krypton” is an abstract concept, but the content transformed into concrete content is: silhouettes of people spending a lot of money, game coins all over the floor, glittering Krypton players and half-dressed people. Image comparison between free players and more.
From abstraction to concreteness, this process requires re-creation by the artist.
In other words, if this process is done averagely, then it just completes the task;
But if it is done brilliantly, it will really turn the game into art.
Therefore, Lu Mingliang did not dare to be careless and carefully searched the resource sites for original painting concept designers with high asking prices, good reputations and outstanding works.
"This... doesn't seem to work. Although it looks good, the style is a bit monotonous."
"This... is too realistic and not consistent."
"Huh? This is good."
Lu Mingliang quickly screened and was suddenly attracted by an original painting of a representative work.
“Why does it feel...so familiar?”
Lv Mingliang felt that the style of this original painting was somewhat familiar, it was grand, the style was outstanding, and it was impressive.
Look at the introduction again.
The artist's name is Ruan Guangjian, and his representative work is "Ghost General"!
Already ranked among the top concept designers with the highest asking prices on the resource site!
"Isn't this the original artist of "Ghost General"?!"
"I have worked with Mr. Pei before and is good at various styles. This choice is perfect!"
