To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 385 What to draw

After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian found Ruan Guangjian's phone number.

But before calling, Pei Qian first searched for the keyword "shared phone booth" in Qiandu on a whim.

Soon there were quite a few search results, a large part of which came from the post bars, forums and Weibo of Jingzhou locals.

"Today, a genius came up with an excellent business idea, a shared phone booth! After scanning the QR code, you can go in and make a call!"

"Crazy, if you have a mobile phone to scan the code, isn't it good to use your mobile phone to make calls?"

"Laughing to death, I even took a group photo, it feels like a performance art. 【Photo】"

"This broken telephone booth is quite big, but why does it feel like it was made by hand? Is this really a product of industrial production? The details are a bit careless."

"This is... pay to go to jail, and let people watch through the glass?"

Pei Qian glanced at it, feeling more at ease.

Look, the eyes of the masses are discerning!

Since this telephone booth is so unpopular and unprofitable, let Ruan Guangjian draw more and make this telephone booth a cultural symbol of pure public welfare.

Well, happy!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian called Ruan Guangjian.

……

……

Monday, May 1.

Ruan Guangjian temporarily settled down to work at Shangyang Games, and gave suggestions for revisions to the art team and outsourced art team of Shangyang Games. Then he went to the nearby art supplies market to buy necessary materials such as brushes and paints. Go to Huanyu Paradise Street.

Because it is Monday, the traffic in the mall will be less.

But even so, there are still many people taking pictures next to the shared phone booth.

Probably after the news of the sand sculpture of the "shared phone booth" spread yesterday, many people came here admiringly.

As soon as Ruan Guangjian came up from the escalator, he saw a muscular man with a strong figure and long hair coming up to him.

"Master! Hello, hello!"

"The master is so young, there is a big gap between him and his imagination."

Zhang Huang had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Ruan Guangjian carrying all kinds of painting tools, he immediately confirmed that this was the artist Mr. Pei invited.

But from the outside, Ruan Guangjian didn't have long hair and beard like the artists in Zhang Wang's imagination, and he didn't have any decorations like earrings, studs, tattoos, etc. He looked clean and tidy, no different from an ordinary student .

On the contrary, Zhang Huang's long hair is fluttering, which is more in line with the image of an artist that most people think of.

Ruan Guangjian looked at the shared phone booth, and it looked no different from the photo, but he saw it with his own eyes, and felt that it was bigger.

After Ruan Guangjian finished looking up and down the phone booth, Zhang Wang asked with some expectation: "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 job, and the time varies greatly. If it is a simple oil painting, the things to be painted have been conceived in advance, and the painter's technique is more skilled, it may be finished in ten hours or so."

"However, if a master paints a high-level oil painting, it may be one year, three years, five years, and there is no limit."

"This includes the time for collecting materials, creating, modifying, etc., and there is no upper limit."

Zhang Wang hurriedly said: "Three years or five years? That's definitely not necessary, just draw whatever you want. Master, the painting is so good, I'm still worried that someone will steal it."

"After all, this phone booth is detachable."

"However, there are security guards from big shopping malls helping to watch, so the possibility of this is very small, haha."

Zhang Huang told a bad joke, but Ruan Guangjian didn't get his joke well.

But at least one thing is clear, that is, this painting definitely doesn't need to be painted so finely, and it doesn't need to be treated as a top-notch work of art.

However, it definitely can't be done too well. After all, Mr. Pei spends a lot of money and is a close friend, how can he cheat Mr. Pei.

Ruan Guangjian thought for a while: "I heard that this is only the first one. A total of 20 telephone booths will be drawn?"

Zhang Huan nodded: "Yes, those are still in production."

Ruan Guangjian looked at the size of the area available for painting in the telephone booth, and asked, "What subject do you want to paint, do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Huanmeng shook his head, emphasizing that he had no idea: "No! It all depends on what you want to paint, Master!"

Ruan Guangjian thought about it carefully: "Well... there are twenty pictures to be drawn, and the workload for each picture 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 in my own style without paying attention to details, it will take three or four days to complete this painting."

"And this is on the premise that I am very familiar with and proficient in what I want to draw."

"What's more, this phone booth is a project invested by Mr. Pei. The subject matter of the painting must have something to do with Mr. Pei's company, right?"

"If you think about it this way, there don't seem to be many suitable themes..."

"Have it!"

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 20 heroes in the first batch of GOG, and their original paintings have been completed.

The shape and design of these original paintings were all done by Ruan Guangjian. After repeated revisions, he was familiar with the painting again.

Moreover, these original paintings belong to Tenda's new game, and this phone booth is also an industry invested by Mr. Pei, and there is a very close relationship between the two.

Original paintings of heroes, compared with traditional oil painting themes, are also more cordial and interesting to young people who come to shopping malls for consumption.

The more Ruan Guangjian thought about it, the more suitable it became.

The only thing that needs to be changed is the specific form of expression of the original painting.

Original GOG original paintings are very detailed and concrete, because the modeler needs to create the game model according to the original painting. If some places are blurred, the modeler can only fill in the details.

However, the paintings here can be regarded as conceptual drawings, promotional drawings, etc., which can be more artistic.

Ruan Guangjian considered using his own style and using impasto painting techniques. On the one hand, it can blur the details and save time. On the other hand, it can also enhance the artistry of the painting, making it easier to attract people's attention.

Thinking of this, Ruan Guangjian was ready to start work.

As for which hero in GOG should be drawn in the first original painting...

Do you still need to think about it?

……

In the office, Pei Qian yawned.

There are still less than three months left before settlement.

There are many projects going on in the same period, but by next week, the film should be officially finalized, and the rough cut version will be produced before the end of the month; and GOG, according to the current progress, will be able to test the waters with an internal beta version at the end of the month. up.

On the haunted house side, it is definitely impossible to finish everything. The two largest projects may not be settled before the settlement, but those small projects of the second big project should be completed by the end of this month. Come two.

When the time comes, let Ruan Guangjian experience it first, and kill his spirit!

In short, Pei Qian looked at the schedule, this week should be a relatively leisurely week in the future, and he must hurry up to read books and review.

What if the old horse passes the exam with his own ability, but Mr. Pei still has to rely on krypton gold to pass the exam? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Let’s take a look at Xiaotang, the schoolgirl. She comes to work every day, except for shoveling excrement, feeding and taking care of the cat, she just sits at the workstation and reads quietly. It must be easy to get a scholarship.

Pei Qian couldn't help feeling: "Hey, if only I could pay someone else to study for me."

"It can only be said that knowledge is priceless!"

Pei Qian sighed and realized that another half hour had passed, so he quickly opened his notes and began to review.

After watching for less than an hour, someone knocked on the door outside.

Pei Qian looked up and saw a group of horses.

"What's the matter?" Boss Pei was a little annoyed when his study was interrupted, but he also knew that the horses didn't come here often, so they must be on business, so he didn't say much.

A group of horses said: "That's it, Mr. Pei. During this period of time, the Chinese website at the end has made a lot of money..."

Pei Qian: "???"

Can you always make money by sneaking and disagreeing?Let me be mentally prepared in advance, okay?

Pei Qian originally thought that he could have a little leisure this week, but it turned out to be a side issue.

From its establishment to the present, Duandu Chinese.com has gone through several stages of development, and has now turned losses into profits.

Increase the price of full attendance from the very beginning, and protect the rights and interests of low-level writers;

Later, subsidize the middle-level authors so that they can get the same level of income as the high-quality authors;

After that, it will cooperate with "Return to the Shore", unify the Tenda account, 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 size and the income of the top authors are still not comparable, at least the mid- and low-level authors are living a decent life.

So, how to spend the money earned has become a problem.

"Don't hand it in, just spend it yourself." Based on the principle of "whoever pollutes, whoever cleans it up, whoever earns money, whoever spends it", he gave a not-so-intentional instruction to Ma Yiqun's report.

"Ah, good Boss Pei." A group of horses knew that Boss Pei would probably react in this way, but what Boss Pei said was one thing, and how he did it was another matter.

Even if he knew that Mr. Pei would probably let the website invest the money in website construction, the process of asking for instructions could not be saved.

After all, this is different from engaging in joint activities on the website, which involves a sum of money.

If it is a joint activity with "Return to the Shore" like before, Ma Yiqun, as the person in charge of the website, can make his own decision, because it doesn't cost much.

"Wait a moment."

A group of horses just wanted to turn around and leave, but they were stopped by Mr. Pei again.

Pei Qian asked casually: "Where do you plan to spend this money?"

Originally, he didn't intend to ask about these things, but Pei Qian suddenly realized that it seems that he can't just ask...

Let a group of horses spend money on their own, who can guarantee that he will spend the money in useless places!

Therefore, Pei Qian decided to ask a few more questions.

A group of horses smiled and said, "Mr. Pei, I've thought about it."

"Now our website is very attractive to middle and low-level authors, and it has also attracted some loyal players of Tenda Games. The popularity of the game channel is very high, forming an effect of 'enclosing the land and being cute'."

"I think the key at the moment is the lack of top authors!"

"So, I consider using this money to dig out a few top authors who are not satisfied with the status quo, especially some unpopular authors who are powerful but not valued very much."

"Great masters may not be easy to find, but those authors who earn [-] to [-] yuan a month and are hard to become great masters, as long as they are willing to spend money, they should still be able to find a few."

Pei Qian fell silent.

Sounds very reliable!

If you can target a few potential authors, choose a book with the best data, and then use the resources of the entire network to push it wildly...

Maybe it can really make the Chinese website of the terminal go a step further!

Thinking of this, Pei Qian coughed lightly and said, "It's not right."

"The real masters rely on solid hard power, relying on good works to gather readers, rather than relying on website resources to pile them up."

"To dig an author from an external site, you must buy out at a high price. For the author, the unaccustomed environment and changes in the readership may not be able to continue the previous popularity; and for the website, the cost performance of the high-priced buyout is very poor. It’s also hard to guarantee.”

"If you sign a buyout and the data in the demand letter reaches the standard, then it is a bit hooligan, and it is actually untenable from a moral point of view. For the author, it is not very attractive."

"In short, this approach can't be wrong, it's just not in line with the development direction of the terminal Chinese website."

"In my opinion, it's better to continue to spend this money on middle-level and lower-level authors. If you want to create a god, you can dig out from your own author group, why do you have to dig out of the station?"
