Chapter 8: Struggle a little more
Zhong Mingyi frowned: "I can draw a concept drawing, but the original painting can't." ”
Xiong Kai's face sank: "The concept map is already available, but now the original painting is missing." ”
Zhong Ming shook his head: "Drawing concept drawings can barely count as my scope of work, and drawing original paintings is the job of the original artist, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Xiong Kai was even more unhappy: "Now that our project lacks original artists, you can paint it temporarily, can't you?" ”
Zhong Ming still shook his head: "The lack of original artists should be solved by Director Liu, whether it is recruiting people or seconding from other projects, it can be solved." I'm an intern in the design team, which is not part of my job. ”
If Zhong Ming is a newcomer who doesn't understand anything, it is really possible to be fooled by Xiong Kai, and generally newcomers will do whatever work they give, and they don't know how to refuse stupidly.
But Zhong Ming knows very well that this is not something that belongs to his responsibilities at all!
The most important thing is, what is the salary of the original artist and what is the salary of the intern?
The salary of the original artist is at least 8,000 per month, and the slightly more senior one has to pay 123,000, and the level of Zhong Ming is even more expensive.
Now Zhong Ming's position is an intern in the design team, with a monthly salary of only 4,000.
Moreover, this is not a painting thing, if Zhong Ming accepts it this time, then there must be a next time, next time, maybe at least more than half of the original paintings will have to be handed over to him in the future, and in the future, he will not expect to do design, write documents, patronize painting, and get himself into the art group.
So Zhong Ming didn't think about it and refused directly.
Xiong Kai's face suddenly became a little unbearable, he originally thought that a fresh graduate, a newcomer with no experience at all, was not just a casual one?
As a result, Zhong Ming didn't even think about it, so he came back!
Xiong Kai had a dark face: "You don't do the work I give you?" So what do you want to do? ”
"Of course, it's an intern's job." Zhong Ming was unmoved, "Then why don't I consult Director Liu and confirm that painting the original painting is not within my scope of work?" ”
“…… Hehe. Xiong Kai stopped talking.
He has nothing to say, because according to the normal division of duties, this matter really shouldn't be handed over to Zhong Ming, and it really makes trouble for Liu Yuxin, and Xiong Kai doesn't care about it at all.
The conversation between the two ended with "oh" and "hehe", which can be said to be unhappy, and the relationship was so stiff on the first day, and there is probably no possibility of repairing it in the future......
Zhong Ming felt that it didn't matter, this job must not be accepted, after taking this time and next time, he will work for free in the next few months, why?
Zhong Ming could roughly guess Xiong Kai's thoughts.
Now that the project of "Mecha Era" is in a half-dead state, depending on what Xiong Kai means, he still wants to struggle, whether it is really good for the project, or just to add some resume to himself, he wants to make some achievements when he is a world architect.
However, the real difficulties are the lack of manpower and funds. Xiong Kai came up with a new version and produced a good-looking mecha to increase his income, but there were too few artists and not enough manpower.
But Xiong Kai can't ask for someone from Director Liu, because Director Liu himself knows that this project is about to fail, and the original art has been seconded, and now it's not nonsense to pay for art? The company won't give this money.
So Xiong Kai began to use his brains, since this new intern is very good at drawing, let him draw the original painting, and the 4000/month intern will be used as the 8000/month original artist, at least he can have some more beautiful art resources.
When the new version is released, there are several beautiful new mechas, and players will pay for it, and the profit data will go up, and these achievements will naturally be attributed to Xiong Kai, who has been promoting the design of the new version of the mecha.
Zhong Ming knew these twists and turns, but his refusal was not to say that he was targeting Xiong Kai, but just to defend himself.
Let me give selflessly, and then give you all the credit? How is that possible?
For example, Liu Yuxin, as the supervisor, would not make this kind of request to Zhong Ming, because he knew that this kind of request was too excessive and unreasonable, and this must be Xiong Kai's own careful thinking.
As a result, Xiong Kai really didn't say a word to Zhong Ming all afternoon, and he didn't even call him for dinner at night, and left on his own.
Zhong Ming doesn't care, it just so happens that you went to dinner, then I'll go home.
Although the situation of the project is not good, there are still a few people working overtime, and Xiong Kai is one of them.
For such a thing as "overtime", Zhong Ming has seen a lot in his previous life, in a simple sentence: it is indeed overtime for himself, no matter how much it is worth it; But if you pretend to be unemployed, or work overtime to do work that is seriously beyond your burden, you are wasting your life.
Half an hour later, Xiong Kai and several other employees returned.
Looking at the computer turned off next to him and the chair pushed back under the desk, it was obvious that Zhong Ming had left work.
Xiong Kai was even more unhappy, he originally thought that Zhong Ming would pretend to work hard on the first day of work, but now it was better, he patted his ass and left.
"Hmph, I'll beat him up tomorrow."
Xiong Kai sat down at his workstation and continued to busy himself with his work.
At this time, a message popped up in the internal communication software: "Xiong Kai, you and Zhou Zhen are coming to me." ”
Xiong Kai saw that it was sent by the supervisor Liu Yuxin, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly rushed to Liu Yuxin's office with Zhou Zhen and the others.
Zhou Zhen is the chief designer of "Mecha Era", and he just came back from dinner and came to Liu Yuxin's office with Xiong Kai.
Liu Yuxin was flipping through the design documents on the computer, and when he saw Xiong Kai and Zhou Zhen coming, he pointed to the empty seat next to him: "Sit." ”
Xiong Kai and Zhou Zhen sat down, and neither of them had to guess to know that it must be a new version of the matter.
Liu Yuxin looked away from the design documents of the computer and looked at the two people: "How are you preparing for the new version of the matter?" It's going to be online the day after tomorrow, but don't give me a problem. ”
Zhou Zhen said: "It's not a big problem, the progress is quite smooth, but tomorrow night we may have to work overtime collectively." And then there's the art side...... The progress is a bit hard to keep up, and now there are still three original paintings and models of mechas, and when the version is launched, one should be able to be driven out, and the other two ...... I can only cut it down first and put it in the next version. ”
Liu Yuxin frowned: "New mecha...... Why don't you change the old mecha a little, change the color, and make do with it...... Or cut it off, cut it or not. ”
Liu Yuxin has long known that there is not enough art, but there is nothing he can do. Of course, he is the project director, and he can ask for someone from above, but the key is that he doesn't have the face to ask for it!
Now the monthly turnover of "Mecha Era" is only less than one million, deducting various sharing and publicity expenses, the net profit may only be 200,000, and it is very difficult to support the project itself, and it will soon become a pure loss-making transaction, how can you ask for people again?
Unless the project profit is raised, and then the important person's affairs are mentioned, it can be justified.
Right now? If you can make do with it, make do with it, to be honest, Liu Yuxin himself is not very confident in this new version, working overtime to do this new version is more like a death struggle, hoping that a miracle will happen.
