Chapter 169
Around the middle of April, Han Jing completed the production of four sets of custom clothing, and then Xingze placed a second order, but this order is not the clothing design related to the new online game that has not yet been completed, but the hand-drawn design of the character that has been selected on the previous future platform, which has the largest number of downloads so far, and is the most popular.
Because the picture material, text material and model material are separated, in the two types of character materials, the picture and the model material, the visual effect has become the only factor that affects the player's preference. During this time, the various drawings and animation materials of the future platform have grown steadily, and the average level has also slowly increased.
At the beginning of this year, the future platform issued a new contract. This contract is mainly about the exclusive license of the network and the duration of the license. At that time, many users didn't actually understand the meaning of this new contract, and even Xingze's internal executives only had some guesses, knowing that it was to establish a link of interests between users and the website in a certain way, mainly to guard against competitors.
However, these conjectures are still too superficial.
Lin Shu's ambition is too big, and he is too step-by-step, so many ideas and plans are difficult to guess. Even if he guessed so many points occasionally, it couldn't extend all the way to his ultimate goal.
Therefore, including this contract, including the live-action of materials and clothing, these measures are only positioned to guard against opponents and gather popularity, and no one has diverged more widely.
However, in addition to this platform contract signed with all users without distinction, Xingze officials also privately contacted a large number of uploaders who are more famous on the platform, and signed a formal contract with them with heavier interests, stronger binding and higher legal effect.
Compared with the contracts on the website, which only involve network-related interests, this contract obviously involves more practical interests, and the actions involved after the signing of these contracts have a greater impact, which cannot be seen from the study of the content and activities of the website alone.
The designers of the second order are all included in this ranks.
On the last day of the end of April, Lin Shu saw the batch of customized clothes.
There are a total of eight pieces of new fashion, four men and four women, all of whom are part of the batch of shape designs with the highest total downloads and praise rates on the future platform in recent years.
Unlike the previous batch of costumes specially customized for the online game Demon World, this batch of costumes has no style restrictions, so the forms are more diverse, including puffy skirts and small cheongsams, Tang costumes and uniforms...... Each piece has a strong style.
The only thing they have in common is that they are designed to be very harmonious and pleasing to the eye.
If you want to make the game design into a real costume, the coordination and comfort of the costume itself must be very important. So some designs that were too flashy or too fancy were excluded from the shortlist from the beginning.
In the remaining design drawings, Du Sitong carefully selected the first batch of eight sets of clothes, each of which is well-designed, generous, comfortable and not picky.
On top of that, there are some design commonalities between women's and men's clothing, so that each set can be matched with each other. For example, the first set of tutu skirts, although it is a white light gauze tutu skirt lower body design, is pressed with a black strap, with a black high-waisted elastic band design, plus a black modified beret with white gauze trimming, showing the British college style at the same time, it also brings plenty of girlish atmosphere.
The matching men's clothing is a white shirt with a suit and shorts, the color is the same as the women's clothing, but the clothes are matched with a small decoration of the gold badge, and it is this small decoration that makes the whole outfit shine.
These two outfits are exquisitely designed, but they are not out of the ordinary. Both women's and men's tops are decorated with a certain amount of tone-on-tone straight graining, women's clothing has folds on both sides of the strap on the strap skirt, while men's clothing has a decorative placket that makes the wearer appear slimmer than it actually is.
In addition, a set of imitation military clothing design, the overall style is Nazi style, and it is matched with a very beautiful embroidered cheongsam.
The cheongsam is Han Jing's best costume design, and this set of costumes uses difficult costume making skills to restore the supernatural visual effect on the design drawing.
Compared with the traditional Nazi-style military uniform, the black military uniform has a special design, that is, the epaulette part of the pure black military uniform is no longer a brief chapter, but a huge, zĂ i feeling, white butterfly with open wings.
The matching small cheongsam, the black skirt is white embroidery, up close is a flower, but from a distance it looks like countless white starlight is scattered, under the light, as a decoration of fine crystals bloom brightly, as if it is a real starlight.
These two sets of clothes, as the same series, are simply the ultimate contrast between rigidity and softness, the ultimate display of light and darkness.
âŚâŚ Of course, the point is that these designs are almost not the same person's designs, and it took a lot of effort for Du Sitong to be able to match them with each other without a sense of disobedience.
The remaining four sets, each of which is also a modified design. Tang costume is not the kind of modern kung fu costume, but a Tang style windbreaker, with a set of wide-sleeved style women's high-waisted dress, the sleeves are very wide, but it is an off-the-shoulder half-sleeve, although the ancient style is full, but it is very casual, and there is no cumbersome costume at all. The antique belt on the waist has also been made into a design, not a real belt, and the putting on and taking off really relies on the zipper on the back.
The biggest feature and advantage of modern clothing compared with ancient costumes is actually simplicity and convenience. One of the main reasons why Hallyu clothing has been able to take the world by storm is that it has always retained the core of "simplicity and convenience" while trying to make excellent designs.
The act of putting the zipper design on the ancient costume is actually a bloody behavior that can be scolded by a large number of retro activists, but Lin Shu knows very well that the style of ancient costumes is very beautiful, but their wearing habits have long been in line with the lifestyle of modern people, so some changes are inevitable.
But except for some lazy designs such as zippers that make people feel inconsistent, each of these eight outfits can make people shine. In the morning, there were many people standing in Lin Shu's office, all of whom were watching the newly delivered series of clothes.
Someone laughed and said, "I think our company can change to fashion design, and we are sure that we can be an instant hit." â
Lin Shu smiled, and then said: "These eight sets, together with the four sets that were made for the promotion of online games, I plan to exhibit them together in the next activities." At the same time, there's an important event coming up......" and then he turned back to his assistant and said, "Plan." â
The assistant handed him the plan.
Lin Shu took the plan, showed it in front of all the management, and said: "While displaying the costumes, I plan to carry out an activity called 'Virtual Star Network Selection', which will select the most popular designs from all the current signed works on the website, and then make real costumes and dolls on the shelves for auction, we only have one set of each design, the one with the highest price will win, and the profits will be shared with the original creator." â
Everyone didn't expect that Lin Shu proposed the concept of "auction" and was stunned.
The newly established merchandising manager said, "...... If only one piece is released, even if the auction price is high, the profit will be very limited. I don't think it's a good choice for maximizing benefits. â
Lin Shu said: "Officially, only one piece is sold, and we will make an exclusive certificate and nameplate as proof of the exclusive version." However, whenever the official version of the design is released, Xingze only keeps a display sample and sells an official version, but ......"
He paused for a moment to whet everyone's appetite before continuing: "We will open up the public sale of these designs on our website, which means that both private individuals and companies can buy these designs through our website to make and sell them." At the same time, if you buy the design drawing, we will give the sales address and certain promotion measures as we did before to the copyright interface. For this part of the transaction, we only receive a certain share of the process from the income of the original author. â
This idea was so bold that everyone was dumbfounded for a while, and they all looked stupid.
Lin Shu didn't want to sell virtual clothes, he didn't want to sell game props, he actually wanted to buy and sell costume design drawings and related patents.
After being stunned, Zheng Fangcheng inevitably thought further - in addition to clothing design, is there anything else Lin Shu wants to buy? Needless to say, game software is the core of Xingze's operation. Since the cooperation with Xingze, the future platform has become the largest original game script trading base in China, if it is just the character design that allows Lin Shu to intervene in the original clothing design, then what about the map and architectural design in the game? Is it also possible for him to intervene in the purchase and sale of some related intellectual property rights?
Thinking about it like this, Zheng Fangcheng felt shocked.
After a long time, he said: "To be honest, there are actually relatively few real professional fashion designers on our website......
He said less, not none, because in the future, there are currently a few and no professional designers on the platform - not only fashion designers, but also professionals in other industries, such as programmers from other companies, some screenwriters and artists who make extra money...... However, these people are still a minority among the uploaders of the platform.
It's more of an amateur who is just an amateur and has produced a brilliant, eye-catching piece of work because of a flash of inspiration.
Of these people's works, there may be only one or two copies that can be put on the shelves for sale, or made into finished clothing.
Lin Shu smiled and said, "It's okay, there will be more and more in the future." â
