An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 226 Got a price difference from the middleman?

Mr. Hao has returned home for the New Year, and Mr. Hao's employees are still working in Yunmeng Building.

The project of Xuanyuan Sword will have to wait until the Qingming Festival in April, but the development of Hero Killer has basically been completed, and it will be launched before the Spring Festival.

Although Liu Ye stayed at the company without board and lodging these days, it was basically the same.

In order to save time, Li Zongzheng reimbursed him the cost of accommodation and meals. These days, he basically stayed in a hotel near the company.

These original paintings are pretty good!

Looking at the finished draft of the character card, Li Zongzheng nodded with satisfaction.

Whether it is the color, the line, or the light and shadow of the gradual change of light and dark, they are all designed just right, and he is especially satisfied with the artist's design of the character image.

What is the most important thing about illustration art?

Is it just to draw people?

No!

The most important thing should be artistic appeal!

What is artistic appeal?

Needless to say, Guan Yu, who was carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, knew who he was when he saw the guy in his hand. But some characters are not so vivid, or it is difficult to explain the role of Daoming in a few words, which is a test of the artist's design skills.

A character that can't be explained clearly in a history book, but a picture should be used to summarize this person, or at least let the player see who he is at a glance.

To achieve this, it is not enough just to have painting skills, at least one must have a sufficient understanding of history, and be able to integrate this understanding into the artistic style!

For example, Xiang Yu, holding a spear, stepped on a toppled bronze tripod, and behind him were burning buildings and tiles, all of which heralded the future of the Great Qin Dynasty and the troubled times that are about to begin.

And the same picture also appeared in the background of Qin Shihuang's card, but the millions of halberds downstairs and the burning incense sticks in the tripod worshiped the long-cherished wish of the ancestors of the past generations to unify the world.

The more Li Zongzheng watched, the more satisfied he was, and he couldn't put it down.

What is an illustration with a soul?

This is called an illustration with a soul!

As an excellent game designer, it is always easy to resonate with excellent original paintings, music, UI, and program designers.

Without hesitation, he immediately turned to Liu Ye who was standing at the desk.

Which art studio did you hire?

If possible, he would like to buy this studio.

Of course, it would be even better if it was an individual painter. I believe that from Mr. Hao's perspective, it should not be difficult to see the value of this painter, and everyone can see how generous Yunmeng Group is to talents.

Liu Ye recalled it carefully for a moment, and then said.

It seems to be called Tianwen Studio.

Tianwen? Hearing this name, Jiang Lecheng, who was standing aside and listening, was stunned, and couldn't help complaining, Tianwen Studio...isn't that an agency?

intermediary?

That's right! If you are famous in the painter circle, the basic routine is to take the order from the big factory, and then send the order to the painter to earn a difference, Jiang Lecheng couldn't help complaining, Why didn't you ask me before placing the order?

Liu Ye looked confused, not quite understanding the difference between the two.

Aren't you busy? How can I have the nerve to ask you for help... By the way, will it be influential to use this kind of manuscript?

The impact is nothing. As long as you can find the registration information on the copyright website, you'll be fine. At most, it's a waste of money, Jiang Lecheng said, holding his forehead.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not. The important thing is that this painting suits my taste! Putting the printed manuscript on the table, Li Zongzheng laughed and continued, Is there a way to find this artist? I want to lure him to our company.

Liu Ye hesitated and said.

This... I'll go and ask.

It's useless, how can someone tell you who told you, and how will you take orders from a big guy like you in the future, Jiang Lecheng sighed, and said, Let me find it for you... This kind of painting style is very personal. The characteristics are still very obvious, and they will receive orders through intermediaries, which is basically something that newcomers in the circle who have no channels to receive orders will do.

Liu Ye looked at her in surprise and asked.

This... is there a way to find it?

Jiang Lecheng sighed helplessly.

If there is a way, there must be a way, but if you are really a newcomer, I am afraid it will take some time... In short, I will go to a few friends in the same industry to inquire about it, but our game has not yet been released, and the original art is definitely not suitable for publication. If you really want to ask someone, you have to wait until the game is launched.”

It's okay, it's not urgent, just pay attention to it. Li Zongzheng smiled and continued, Now our work is different. We will do our best to ensure that the hero kill goes online smoothly! And, before the Ching Ming Festival, Xuanyuan Sword Project done!

Boss, do we still have a chance to go home for the New Year this year? Liu Ye asked dumbfounded.

Li Zongzheng's expression was a little subtle.

This... depends on the situation. I can't promise you now. Besides, you are the person in charge of the hero killing project. If others can have a holiday, you may not be able to leave.

Maybe it was because he also felt a little embarrassed, or maybe it was because the expression on Liu Ye's face was too sad and indignant, so he coughed dryly and added.

Don't worry, if you don't have a holiday, you will definitely have overtime pay and bonuses! When the project is on the right track, you will be compensated for the amount of vacation you deserve!

Just when Liu Ye was coaxed back to work by the bonus, in a single room in an apartment less than 20 square meters far away in Yanjing, a young man with a slightly gloomy appearance and temperament was curling up in the messy room. On the bed, with an old digital control board on his knees, he flicked his paintbrush vigorously.

He is a painter, his name is An Ming, and his pen name is his real name.

The deep bags under his eyes were as black as his black pupils, and at this moment his pupils were reflecting the light projected from the laptop screen. The high-intensity rushing to draft every day kept his body in a sub-healthy state for a long time. His bloodless face was as pale as if the wall had been painted with plaster.

Although the rent is paid by WeChat transfer, the landlord still visits him every once in a while. It's not that I'm worried that this guy will break my furniture. There are not many valuable furniture in the house. I'm just worried that this guy will disappear one day, and then my house will become a haunted house?

With his lifestyle, the landlord thinks it is entirely possible!

At this moment, a message popped up on WeChat.

An Ming stopped his brush and glanced at his phone.

The message was sent by the gold master.

Tianwen Studio: [The boss is very satisfied with your artist, and there is no need to revise the draft once. There may be opportunities to cooperate in the future, I will settle the balance with you first, and continue to cooperate next time I have the opportunity! 】

An Ming picked up his phone and sent a message.

[Is there really no need to change it? In fact, I suddenly thought of a few better ideas. If the details are adjusted, the character image will be more three-dimensional. 】

Tianwen Studio: [No, no, there is no need to do that superfluous thing, as long as the sponsor's father is satisfied, hello, hello, hello everyone. (Ha ha)】

There was some regret in An Ming's eyes, and he tried to fight for it again.

【May I ask who I sold my painting to? I want to talk to him. 】

As soon as this line was typed out, An Ming realized that he had asked a very stupid question.

The other party obviously wouldn't tell him this kind of thing.

Otherwise, there will still be an order from the sponsor, so what should I do if I bypass Tianwen Studio and sign the order with him?

Although Tianwen Studio claimed that it only took 10% of his commission, An Ming estimated that it must be more than that, at least between 20% and 30%, or even half of the commission!

After all, I have just graduated, and I don't know the market, so how to quote is not entirely up to them, middlemen who make the difference.

As expected, the opposite party was silent for a while and then decisively refused.

[This is a commercial secret, sorry. 】

An Ming was not discouraged either, he shrugged and typed.

[It's okay, next time you have such a lucrative job, remember to find me again. 】

Tianwen Studio: [Definitely! 】

Tianwen studio: [5,000 yuan received on WeChat]

Seeing such a huge sum of money, An Ming finally had a sunny smile on his expressionless face.

Five thousand dollars!

It's not in vain that he frantically rushed for half a month's drawing!

Now not only will the next month's rent be settled, but also two fun games can be bought.
