On the first day of the winter vacation of his junior year, Li Ling pressed the alarm clock at half past six, got up to wash up and go out of the house with sleepiness. The cold wind instantly woke her up, she wrapped her coat tightly, walked to the subway station, changed a few lines and followed the map after turning around and finally arrived at her destination - Starlight Pioneer Park, a plain gray-white building built in the eighties and nineties.

Li Ling dialed a number, but the other party did not answer, and he still did not answer after calling. So Li Ling walked directly into the Pioneer Park, the lobby was relatively spacious, with ordinary monotonous white tiles and white walls, and there was no other decoration except for the antique chandelier on the ceiling. Li Ling took the elevator to the 3rd floor and found room 317 according to the house number, there was no company name posted on the door, only the business license was hung on the wall. Looking through the transparent glass door, there are three desks about three meters long, on which are several black desktop computers, and no one is inside.

It was already half past eight o'clock at the appointed time, Li Ling dialed the phone again, and finally connected.

"Hello, Sister Muxia, I'm Li Ling, and I'm at the door of your studio now. ”

"I'm on my way, you wait a few minutes at the door, you can walk around. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the same place. ”

In the face of new things and new jobs, Li Ling was a little worried and a little excited. A month ago, she saw a recruitment news in the club group, Xia Lin Information Technology Co., Ltd. is recruiting a game original artist intern, Li Ling just simply thought that this job sounded very interesting and sent the comic works he had drawn before to the other party's mailbox, but a few days later, the other party was Mucha asked her to come out for an interview, saying that it was an interview, but in fact it was more like a small talk between friends.

Mucha is the elder sister of Li Ling for several years, after graduation, she worked in a game company for a few years, felt too constrained, and co-founded their own company with another senior brother after leaving her job, and only recently chose an office space. Mucha said on the spot that he thought Li Ling had the potential to decide to hire her, and asked to come to work as soon as he had a holiday, so Li Ling embarked on this unknown road as a game original artist in a daze.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Ling heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and turned around to see that Muxia, who was wearing a red woolen coat and stepping on a pair of high-heeled boots, came over with a tote bag. Although she wears a pair of black-framed myopic glasses, she can't hide her full face of spring breeze.

"I'm waiting, I'm about a little early today, and I'm going to work at nine o'clock in the future. Come, come in. ”

Li Ling nodded, followed behind Muxia, and after entering, he saw the whole interior of the studio. The studio is about 50 square meters, with a white open desk on one side of the window, and a black leather sofa and glass coffee table on the other side, on which is a bamboo pot carved with bamboo leaves in purple and red. An off-white solid wood bookcase separates the office area from the tea lounge area, and the bookcase is topped with books on art, fashion, design, etc.

"I just moved here, and I haven't bought a lot of things yet. What do you think of the current renovation of the studio?"

"The whole is a black and white minimalist style, which looks very comfortable. ”

"Yes, I like to keep things simple. These computers, this sofa is actually a gift from a friend, but they are all very good. I ordered a few pots of greenery and planned to put them on my bookcase and tabletop. And here......" Sister Xia walked behind the desk in the last row and said, "This corner is still empty, I'm going to get a bar in this area, everyone can sit here and have a drink and afternoon tea in the future, what do you think?"

"It was good, it made good use of the space and was elegant. ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the courier appeared at the door: "Hello, your courier." ”

"My potted plant has arrived. Mucha ran to sign for the harvest and took out four different pots of green plants from the box.

"Li Ling, come, give you this pot, as beautiful as you. ”

Li Ling took it with a smile, it was a pot of colorful raw stone flowers.

"There are three rows of tables and nine seats, you can pick any one and sit in that position. ”

Li Ling picked a place by the window in the second row and put the raw stone flower next to the computer.

The bookcase, coffee table, and desk are each placed with copper coin grass, junzi orchid and pothos, and the office environment suddenly adds a lot of vitality.

Mucha poured two glasses of warm water, handed one of them to Li Ling, and motioned for her to sit down and sit next to her.

"Senior brother is at his other company, and he may come over tomorrow to have a look. There's also someone who is supposed to come in next week to help, so it's mostly the two of us together, but I occasionally go out to meet clients and you do what I tell you to do when I'm away. This internship is for you to do things for me, and I also want you to really learn something. Try to memorize as much as you can about what I'm going to talk about. ”

As he spoke, Mucha took out his tablet from his bag and pressed the power button, Li Ling hurriedly opened his notebook and picked up the pen.

"In addition to having a certain art foundation, what else does the game concept artist industry need?"

"I think you also need to have a good artistic accomplishment, and have your own aesthetics and unique ideas. ”

"Well, yes. But these are not enough, you also have to be able to design characters, scenes, and even know how to 3D modeling, and we are basically taking on outsourcing projects, to know how to communicate with customers, teamwork skills, extensive knowledge and rich visual reserves are also very important, of course, you are just starting out, slowly you can accumulate experience. ”

Mucha clicked on the computer in Li Ling's position and continued, "This is your office computer, a lot of software has not been installed, you install QQ first, and the other software that needs to be used will be installed one by one later, and the tablet is in the drawer." By the way, after looking at your drawings, you should be familiar with all kinds of drawing software, such as Photoshop, SAI, Painter, etc. ”

"I know a little bit about it. ”

Mucha clicked on a folder on his computer: "Show you some of the finished products of the project I just finished." ”

The screen shows several characters from a certain game, dressed in the costumes of a certain dynasty, holding different styles of weapons, with different expressions and extremely expressive, shadows, colors, light and shadow are very coordinated, and even the hair is very realistic. Li Ling thought of his comic works, which were really small compared to this.

"We mainly undertake the production of concept art, including game scenes, characters, props or promotions, and occasionally film and television concept art. When designing the original art, we must take the copywriting needs of the client as the benchmark, and not be too imaginative, so we must have a thorough understanding of the theme style, character image, historical background, etc. that the other party wants. ”

"Like this game, its story takes place before the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, from the birth of Ying Zheng to the end of his unification of the six countries as Qin Shi Huang, the protagonist is Ying Zheng, and other characters include Lü Buwei, Zhao Ji, Li Si, etc., to draw their appearance and equipment according to the character setting. ”

Li Ling quickly recorded some key words while listening, and suddenly the mobile phone placed in the corner of the table rang.

The caller shows "Clear".
