After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian found Ruan Guangjian's phone number.
But before calling, Pei Qian searched Qiandu for the keyword "shared phone booth" on a whim.
Soon there were a lot of search results, a large part of which came from the post bars, forums and Weibo of Jingzhou locals.
“A genius really came up with an excellent business idea today, a shared phone booth! After scanning the code, you can go in and make a call!”
“You’re crazy, you have a mobile phone to scan the code, Isn’t it good to use a mobile phone to make calls?”
“I laughed so hard, I even took a photo, it felt like a performance art”
“This broken phone booth is quite big. , but why does it feel like it is made by hand? Is this really a product of industrial production? The details are a bit unsatisfactory."
"Is this...paying to be imprisoned and being watched through glass? "
Pei Qian glanced at it and felt more at ease.
Look, the people’s eyes are sharp!
Since this phone booth is so unpopular and unprofitable, let Ruan Guangjian paint a few more and turn this phone booth into a purely public cultural symbol.
Well, that’s great!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian dialed Ruan Guangjian's phone number.
……
……
Monday, January 10th.
Ruan Guangjian temporarily settled down the work at Yangyang Games, and after giving suggestions for modifications to the art team and outsourced art team of Yangyang Games, he went to the nearby art supplies market to buy brushes, paints, etc. Wait for the necessary materials and rush to Huanyu Tianjie.
Because it is Monday, there will be less traffic in the mall.
But even so, there are still many people taking photos next to the shared phone booth.
Probably after the news about the "shared phone booth" spread yesterday, many people came here.
As soon as Ruan Guangjian came up from the escalator, he saw a muscular man with a strong body and long hair coming up to him.
"Master! Hello, hello!"
"Master is so young, there is a big gap between what he imagined."
Zhang Wang has long been While waiting, I saw Ruan Guangjian carrying various painting utensils, and immediately determined that this was the artist invited by Mr. Pei.
It’s just that from the appearance, Ruan Guangjian does not have long hair or beard like the artists in Zhang Huan’s imagination, nor does he have earrings, earrings, tattoos and other decorations. He looks clean and tidy , no different from an ordinary student.
On the contrary, Zhang Wan’s long hair is more in line with the image of an artist that most people think of.
Ruan Guangjian looked at the shared phone booth. It looked the same as in the photo. But seeing it with his own eyes, it felt bigger to the senses.
After Ruan Guangjian finished looking up and down the phone booth, Zhang Wang asked with some anticipation:"Master, how long does it take to paint such a painting?"
Ruan Guangjian thought for a while: "This cannot be generalized."
"Painting is a creative work, and the time varies greatly. . If it is a simple oil painting, the thing to be painted has been conceived in advance, and the artist's technique is relatively skilled, it may be completed in about ten hours."
"But, if It can take one, three, or five years for a master to paint a high-level oil painting."
"This includes the time for selecting materials, creation, modification, etc., and there is no upper limit. "
Zhang Wan hurriedly said: "Three to five years? That's definitely not necessary. Just paint as you like. Master, the painting is so good, I'm worried about someone stealing it."
"After all, this phone booth is detachable."
"But with the security guards of the shopping mall helping to watch, the possibility is very small, haha."
Zhang Wan Ruan Guangjian told a cold joke, but Ruan Guangjian didn't quite get the point of his laughter.
But at least one thing is clear, that is, this painting definitely does not need to be so delicate, and it does not need to be treated as a top-notch work of art.
However, the painting must not be too improvised. After all, Mr. Pei spends a lot of money and is a close friend. How can he deceive Mr. Pei?
Ruan Guangjian thought for a while: "I heard that this is just the first one. A total of 20 phone booths will be painted?"
Zhang Wan nodded: "Yes, those are still in production. "
Ruan Guangjian looked at the size of the painting area in the phone booth and asked, "Do you have any ideas about the subject?"
Zhang Wang shook his head and said he had no idea: " No! It all depends on what you want to paint, master!"
Ruan Guangjian thought carefully: "Well...there will be twenty paintings, and the workload of each painting is not small."
“After all, this painting is nearly two meters high, and the workload must be at least three to four times that of ordinary oil paintings.”
“Even if I can paint it in my own style, I don’t have to be so particular. It takes three or four days to complete this painting."
"And this is only if I am very familiar with and skilled in what I want to paint."
"Besides, this phone booth is a project invested by Mr. Pei. The theme of the painting must be more or less related to Mr. Pei's company, right?"
"If you think about it this way, there don't seem to be many suitable themes. ..."
"Yes!"
Ruan Guangjian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea.
You can draw original paintings of GOG heroes!
Coincidentally, there are more than twenty heroes in the first batch of GOG, and their original paintings have been completed.
The shape and design of these original paintings were all completed by Ruan Guangjian. After repeated modifications, it was easy to draw them again.
Moreover, these original paintings belong to Tenda’s new game, and this phone booth is also an industry invested by Mr. Pei.There is a very close connection between them.
Compared with traditional oil painting themes, original paintings of heroes are more approachable and interesting to young people who come to shopping malls for consumption.
The more Ruan Guangjian thought about it, the more appropriate it became.
The only thing that needs to be changed is the specific expression of the original painting.
Originally, GOG's original paintings were very detailed and concrete, because the modelers needed to create the game model according to the original paintings. If some places were blurred, the modelers could only fill in the details.
However, the paintings here can be regarded as concept drawings and promotional pictures, which can be more artistic.
Ruan Guangjian considered using his own style and using impasto techniques. On the one hand, it can blur out those details and save time. On the other hand, it can also enhance the artistry of the painting and make it easier to attract people's attention.
Thinking of this, Ruan Guangjian was ready to start construction.
As for which hero in GOG should be drawn in the first original painting...
Do you still need to consider it?
......
In the office, Pei Qian yawned.
There are less than three months left before settlement.
There are many projects going on at the same time, but by next week, the film should be officially completed, and a rough cut will be available before the end of the month; and according to GOG's current progress, it will be released by the end of the month. A closed beta version is testing the waters.
It is definitely impossible to finish everything in the haunted house. The two largest projects may not be finished before this settlement, but the small projects of the second big project, I should be able to get one or two out by the end of this month.
When the time comes, let Ruan Guangjian experience his spirit first and kill him!
In short, Pei Qian looked at his schedule. This week should be a relatively free week in the future. He must hurry up and take the time to read and review.
What if Lao Ma passes the exam on his own ability, but Mr. Pei still relies on krypton money to pass the exam? Wouldn’t it be very shameful?
Look at the school girl Xiao Tang. Apart from scooping poop, feeding and taking care of the cats every day, she sits at her workstation and reads quietly. She must be able to get the scholarship easily.
Pei Qian couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, it would be great if I could pay someone else to study for me."
"I can only say that knowledge is priceless!"
Pei Qian sighed and realized that another half hour had passed. He quickly opened his notes and started reviewing.
Less than an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Pei Qian looked up and saw a group of horses.
/p>
Ma Yiqun said: "That's it, Mr. Pei. I made a lot of money during the last period..."
Pei Qian: "???"
youCan we always make money secretly and without any agreement? Can't you just prepare yourself mentally in advance?
Pei Qian originally thought he could have a little leisure time this week, but things got messed up again.
Dim has gone through several stages of development from its inception to now, and has now turned a profit.
From the beginning, the price of full attendance was increased to protect the rights of low-level writers;
Later, middle-level writers were subsidized so that they could obtain the same level of income as unlimited high-quality writers;
p>
After that, it will be linked with "Return to the Shore" to unify Tenda accounts and divert a large number of Tenda game players to the website.
After this period of operation, the traffic of the website has increased. Although the overall website scale and the income of the top authors are still not comparable to Infinite, at least the middle and low-level authors are living a relatively comfortable life.
So, how to spend the money earned becomes a problem.
"Don't hand it over, just spend it yourself." Based on the principle of "who pollutes, who controls, who makes money, who spends it", Pei Qian made a not-so-sounding response to Ma Yiqun's report. Careful instructions.
"Ah, okay Mr. Pei." Ma Yiqun knew that Mr. Pei would probably react this way, but what Mr. Pei said was one thing, and what he did was another thing.
Even if you know that Mr. Pei will probably let the website invest the money in website construction, the process of asking for instructions still cannot be saved.
After all, this is different from the website’s linkage activities, which involve a sum of funds.
If it is a linkage activity with "Return to the Shore" like before, Ma Yiqun, as the person in charge of the website, can make the decision by himself, because it doesn't cost much.
"Wait a minute."
The Ma group was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Mr. Pei again.
Pei Qian asked casually: "Where do you plan to spend this money?"
Originally, he did not intend to ask about these things, but Pei Qian suddenly realized that it seemed that Just ask...
Let Ma Yiqun spend money on his own. Who can guarantee that he will spend his money on useless things!
So, Pei Qian decided to ask a few more questions.
Ma Yiqun smiled and said: "Mr. Pei, I have thought about it."
"Now our website is very attractive to middle and low-level authors, and it has also attracted some Tenda games. With loyal players, the game channel is very popular, creating a kind of "enclosure and cuteness" effect."
"I think the key now is the lack of top authors!"
"So, I am considering using this money to poach a few top-level authors who are not satisfied with the status quo, especially those in unpopular categories, who are powerful but not too valued."
< p>"It may be difficult to find great masters, but for those authors who earn 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a month and have difficulty becoming great masters, as long as they are willing to spend money, they should still be able to find a few."Pei Qian fell into silence.
ListenLooks very reliable!
Indeed, the biggest problem of Dingmin now is that the ceiling of the website is low, and there is no super popular book that can become a hot spot on the entire network.
The bottom-level and middle-level authors are doing well, but the website’s ability to create gods is basically zero.
If we can dig out a few potential authors in a targeted manner, choose a book with the best data, and then use the resources of the entire Internet to promote it like crazy...
Maybe it can really help. The finish line is one step closer!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian coughed twice and said: "That's not appropriate."
"A real great master relies on solid hard power and relies on good works to unite readers. Instead of hoping to use website resources to create it.”
“If you poach authors from external sites, you will definitely have to pay a high price. For the author, the changes in the local environment and the readership may not necessarily continue. However, for the website, the price-performance ratio of the high-priced buyout is very poor, and the benefits are difficult to guarantee."
"If you sign the buyout and the data in the request letter meets the standards, it would be a bit of a rogue. Morally speaking, it is not very attractive to the author."
"In short, this approach is not wrong, but it is not in line with the development direction of the end."
"In my opinion, it is better to continue spending this money on middle-level and low-level authors. If you want to create gods, you can dig from your own author group, why do you have to go to external sites to dig?"
