The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Chapter 5 question

No matter what the short film I’m going to do right now, what will I use for it in the future, it’s always a work of art.

Before all the design work started, Fan Zhe, as the chief creative officer, of course first came up with a set of conceptual designs.

Even if he does it all by himself, the first thing to do is conceptual design. This thing is a general outline and will determine the overall art style.

Of course, he is doing outsourcing after all, and he is doing the opening animation in other people’s games. These things actually left him not much room for freedom. He really wants to make sure that the overall style of the short film is correct, but this style is limited, after all, it cannot be too far from other people’s works.

If Fan Zhe is a little lazy, he can actually use the reference paintings in the materials that Lao Lu gave him directly as his creative style. Even, it is not impossible to directly request that company to provide a large number of original paintings, and to select some of them to make some modifications and use them directly.

However, the accuracy required for high-quality short films is very different from that of games. Fan Zhe thinks that it is better to keep improving as much as possible.

Since there is a ‘dimension’ in his hand, Fan Zhe hopes to make as much as he can.

Although, Lao Lu hasn’t replied yet for the time being, and he is not sure whether this outsourced animated short film can follow, but Fan Zhe still decided to do it first, the construction period is too fast.

…

When Fan Zhe started his work, there was a discussion in the company ‘Titan Games’ because of his short video.

‘Giant Game’ is the game company that outsourced their animation at the beginning of the game.

When they just received the short video from Lu Yuxiang, they were shocked. Gao Yixiang, the chief planner of the project, expressed his shock in one sentence at the time: “Fuck! Four hundred and fifty thousand can make such an awesome short film? Please give me a dozen!”

However, when they happily decided to make a decision, someone poured cold water on their heads.

That person is the technical director of “Titan Games”, American Mike Ramos.

He said, “I think this is a liar, don’t you guys see it?”

speaks half-baked Mandarin, but this guy’s arrogance is fully expressed.

Looking at this red neck, Gao Yixiang’s face clearly showed an unhappy look.

‘Titan Games’ is an independent game factory. They were originally just a studio and started doing some independent small games. Gao Yixiang is considered one of the first founders of ‘Titan’ and is directly leading the development team.

Several independent games have been made, the quality is very good, and the sales reputation is good, so that’Titan’ has become a serious game company from a small studio. Although it is not comparable to some large factories, it is at least out of the scope of small workshops.

Their new work, “Assassination Squad”, is a fantasy-style assassination game with relatively large ambitions and high investment. Even the other founder of the company, Zhao Liqin, the boss who invested money at the beginning and was responsible for subsequent operations, also directly hired Ramos from a major game company in the United States as the technical director.

In the beginning, Gao Yixiang welcomed Ramos’s arrival. However, when the two worked together in the project team, the situation gradually changed.

Ramos has always had a very strong sense of superiority. Whenever he encounters something, he opens his mouth and likes to say ‘how is our America’ and ‘China’s game industry is too backward”.

Of course, if it’s just a sense of superiority, that’s all. After all, although such words are very irritating, who makes the game industry of the motherland really uncomfortable.

However, when this sense of superiority is directly brought into the work, the problems that arise are huge. According to Gao Yixiang’s previous expectation, Ramos is the technical director, so he can do his job well. Those unsatisfactory things that people say are regarded as the extra cost of inviting others to help the poor with technology. .

However, he kept beeping every day about the gameplay, the art, and all aspects of the project.

This is very annoying.

As the contact time became longer and longer, Gao Yixiang also discovered that this guy can not only beep, but the key is that his level is just like that. Compared with the original technical director who was squeezed out before, Gao Yixiang is even worse. .

Gao Yixiang still has a speculation in his mind. The reason why this product can be dug into China is that besides the fact that the salary is really high, it may be that he can’t mix in the big game factory in the United States.

Otherwise, they are really good software engineers, and they get very high salaries in large 3A companies abroad. Where can they leave their hometown to come to China?

The superiority of white people, the love of blasting and gesticulation, and the average strength. Who doesn’t hate such a person?

The whole project team, almost no one likes him.

He jumped out to speak at this time, and he was talking about content that actually had nothing to do with his ‘Technical Director’ job, and it was naturally disgusted by other people present.

But there are always stinky feet.

“Mr. Pull, if you talk about it carefully, I also think it might be a liar.” A girl who seemed to be sweet and sweet said.

When someone answered, Ramos straightened his chest and continued preaching: “As for the short film you just watched, the level of UU reading www.uukanshu.com is pretty good. In the United States, there are many teams that can achieve this level, but The cost will also be very high. Four hundred and fifty thousand, to make a two-minute short film of this level? This must be a liar. Even top special effects studios such as Industrial Light and Magic and Weta Digital cannot be at such a low cost. Made it like this. This must be a short film that I don’t know where it came from and came here to cheat money. You Chinese like it very much.”

The scene was embarrassing for a while.

I said so much earlier, it seems to be justified, and many people were even a little persuaded, but I ended up with one sentence.

Gao Yixiang has a violent temper, and can’t help it. He directly replied: “There are many American crooks who like this. Mr. Ramos understands this very well.”

After a pun of ridicule, Lao Gao put up with the fire a little, and continued: “This is a sample showing the strength of the studio. It’s not that we can spend 450,000 to make the same level in two minutes. Originally According to our needs, two grades lower than this level are completely acceptable. In fact, even so, we have earned a budget of 450,000 yuan. Why are you so anxious? Mr. Ramos, you steal The method of changing concepts is very skillful. Have you practiced it?”

“Pay attention to the tone of your speech, Chinese.” Ramos stared at Gao Yixiang. He was a bit bigger than the old Gao, and he was still very aura.

But Lao Gao didn’t persuade him at all. Time went back a few years, and if he was younger, he would have a fierce temper, and he might be going to do the foreigner directly. Now that he is getting older, Gao Yixiang finds that his Qi training skills are much better than before.

He said, “I’m very tactful, Ramos, don’t show your arrogance here. This is the last time I warn you.”

The two broke apart.
