Start a company to make games

Chapter 21 Few Artists Available
Although Xiaolin was a little embarrassed to persuade Liu Xiong to remove "Understanding Youdi", Liu Xiong just shook his head with a smile: "Xiaolin, remember what we were hacked by Understanding Youdi today. And one day, our Feimeng will make Full marks for the game, and at the same time make these black people in the comment area all kneel down and apologize to me!"

"Trust your brother Xiong, it's okay." Liu Xiong gave Xiao Lin a sharp look.

Liu Xiong still doesn't believe it! There are so many classic games on the earth, but still can't conquer this small alien world?
What is Red Alert Empire CS, what is Interstellar World of Warcraft Big Pineapple, what is Dota and GTA, and the classic popular games on the earth are brought over, and these players from other worlds are not clearly arranged?
……

Although he has a very ambitious goal, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Now Liu Xiong must solve a problem, that is, the lack of original painting artists.

No one was recruited at the job fair. On the one hand, Liu Xiong continued to collect resumes on the recruitment website, on the other hand, he also began to lock in the target and take the initiative!

Liu Xiong first visited Gu Zi, an independent original artist. This is a young man who has experience in war-themed comics and has created original character designs for many domestic mobile games with the theme of ship girls, gun girls, machine girls, and tank girls. painter.

With a certain amount of experience and popularity, but not yet famous, the original artist Gu Zi, who is in the stage of high-yield racing sows, has also been posting announcements on his personal website to seek commercial cooperation, and his quotation should not be very high.

In a coffee shop, Liu Xiong met with Gu Zi, and handed over the brief script setting of "Blood Lion: Red Alert" to Gu Zi for inspection.

Gu Zi carefully read the information provided by Liu Xiong.

"What about Mr. Bones? Are you willing to take on this task? As for the compensation, although Feimeng is not a wealthy company, it will definitely give a reasonable quotation according to the market price."

The bone showed hesitation, and after thinking for half a minute, the bone shook his head with difficulty: "This is a very exciting script, some related unit building settings, especially the apocalypse tank, phantom tank, and hyperspace converter Wait, it's also very interesting."

"I've been drawing all kinds of girly weapons recently, and sometimes I want to try different styles."

"But... Hey, Mr. Liu, I think you are a respectable person, so I won't tell lies."

"I have actually received a lot of assignments recently, but I have rejected most of them, because you can see that my previous works have a good reputation. Several game companies I work for, although there are a few people Small studios, but they are all conscientious companies that are recognized in the industry."

"Whether it is the game company or their works, they are all well received. The praise of this kind of work platform has also given me a certain reputation."

"As for Fei Meng... I'm really sorry, I'm worried that there is a big gap between the word-of-mouth and my previous works."

"Sorry, I'm really not easy to take this job."

Liu Xiong took a deep breath, sure enough, it was because of Fei Meng's notoriety.

Although the artist has shown a certain interest in "Blood Lion: Red Alert", he is in the rising stage of his career, and he cherishes his feathers very much, and he is unwilling to cooperate with Feimeng, who has a bad reputation in the street.

"Okay, I understand you, let me go." Liu Xiong was a little disappointed, but Liu Xiong did understand the other party. As a rising artist, once the reputation of accepting bad works for money is spread, although it is not a big deal, But it's not a highlight either.

Feimeng couldn't provide a corresponding high reward, so it was normal for him to refuse.

After leaving the cafe, Liu Xiong went to the next location without stopping - Daxiang Art Studio.

This is a relatively small art studio. It has been doing art outsourcing of animation, games, commercials, etc. for a long time, and has experience in the production of war games.

Liu Xiong has seen some of Daxiang Studio's works, and the level is quite satisfactory, but under his own guidance, it should not be a big problem to meet the blood lion's requirements.

In Daxiang's office, after reading the information and requirements provided by Liu Xiong, the boss of Daxiang said: "Oh, it's a coincidence that Mr. Liu came here. We just took over the job of another game this morning. Although Still under consideration."

"But...unless Feimeng can offer a high price slightly higher than the market, otherwise we can only do things in the order of first come first come."

"A price slightly higher than the market price?" Liu Xiong frowned slightly. The price slightly higher than the market price is a bit vague.

Liu Xiong had estimated the workload in advance. The character design, arms, buildings, and maps of the entire "Blood Lion: Red Alert" did not have the opportunity to appear on the scene because there was no online part.

So in fact, the workload is not a lot. Judging from the capabilities of a small-scale studio like Daxiang, it is no problem to get it done within 7 working days.

After the pre-investigation, Liu Xiong's price in mind is around 4 to 6, but according to the actual situation, it can be slightly raised.

Daxiang's boss smiled and nodded: "Yes, Mr. Liu must have a lot of money to buy Feimeng. If Mr. Liu is willing to offer a price of 25 yuan, we can guarantee that we will be able to complete the task well."

When Liu Xiong heard this, his stomach burst into flames!
Daxiang is not a famous brand studio, the market price is 25 to [-] yuan, Daxiang dare to quote [-] yuan?
Is this treating yourself as a fool?
Still think of yourself as a fool!
When the price was reported by the loud voice, Liu Xiong already knew that there was no need to continue the negotiation, and he asked for a price without sincerity at all!

After leaving Daxiang, Liu Xiong came to a very old art studio next door to Daxiang——Meitang Studio.

Meitang used to be brilliant, but now it has long since become a salted fish studio.

The quality of this Meitang restaurant is about the same as that of Dasheng, but the price is a little bit higher, so Liu Xiong regards Meitang as his second choice.

As a result, in Meitang's office, when the other party heard that it was Fei Meng, he immediately shook his head and waved his hands: "I can't take over, we can't take over Fei Meng's work, isn't this just asking for discomfort?"

This is Meitang's fault!
Even if Feimeng has a bad reputation, an outsourced studio only needs to make money, and the outsourced studio can't be blamed for rubbish games!
Liu Xiong's face became a little ugly, and the other party realized that his words were a bit direct, so he smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, our Meitang side is also undergoing reorganization, and plans to go back to the original boutique route. "

"As for Fei Meng... the overwhelming scolding after the Blood Leopard came out was really a bit scary. To be honest, Meitang doesn't dare to have anything to do with Fei Meng now."
