Chapter 219: Interview (2-in-1)

Two days later.

The previously screened personnel began to come for interviews one after another.

Outside 6666, Xiao Mu looked at the house number with some hesitation.

"Room 6666, well, here it is. This house number is a bit funny. ”

Through the transparent glass door, Xiao Mu looked inside and found that there were only four people working in the huge office.

“……”

There's a feeling of honey powerlessness that's going on.

Xiao Mu knocked lightly on the door, and inside, Zhong Ming looked up and saw him, stood up and opened the door.

"Hello, I'm here for an interview." Xiao Mu said.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Come with me." ”

Xiao Mu looks like he is in his early thirties, very energetic, and he still carries a hand-drawn tablet with him, because there are requirements for on-site testing.

The art test is different from the program test, and the "test" of art refers to the interview, when applying for an art position, especially the original painting position, you need to paint on the spot, and the time limit is one or two hours, and you can draw a work. The degree of completion does not have to be too high, it can be a semi-finished product, but at least you can see how basic the artist is.

When passing by the workstation, Xiao Mu glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally.

He just wanted to know, who was his immediate boss? Which one is your own boss??

Xiao Mu applied for the position of original artist, so he must have a chief artist and a boss and producer.

But looking at the only four people in the studio, Xiao Mu fell into confusion.

Which is the main art??

The oldest of them looks like they're in their thirties, and they may be a little older than themselves; Of the other three, the man who was still sitting looked older, about twenty-six or seventeen; The woman who was seated, and the man who led him to the interview, were all younger, and they looked like freshly graduated students.

It doesn't look like it!

The two older ones are a little bit possible, but they don't look like artists at all, but they look like programmers......

Xiao Mu was a little confused.

Before he arrived, he didn't know much about Shimmer Studios, only that he knew that the studio had made three successful indie games, and they didn't seem to be bad for money.

Moreover, Xiao Mu also looked at the art styles of the two games "Working Dog Survival Manual" and "Ink and Smoke", and felt that the main art here was a real talent, and he should be able to learn something here, so he wanted to come and take a look.

But after this, it was very mysterious to find that there were only four people in the entire company.

Xiao Mu followed Zhong Ming to the small conference room.

Zhong Ming motioned for Xiao Mu to sit down opposite, and then pulled out Xiao Mu's resume from the bracelet: "Then, let's talk casually." ”

Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment.

What do you mean, this is about to start the interview????

Just interview me with this young man across the street????

Xiao Muren was stupid, he originally thought that Zhong Ming was an errand runner, isn't it like this in interviews in other companies, the newcomers in the company are responsible for opening the door, serving tea and pouring water, and then the interviewer is late......

It turns out that this is not here, this young man is the interviewer!

Fortunately, Xiao Mu was experienced in a hundred battles, and after being stunned for a while, he reacted and began to introduce himself.

Of course, at the same time, I was muttering in my heart, this is the main art? Is he really qualified to interview me at such a young age......

Soon, Xiao Mu's self-introduction was finished, and Zhong Ming asked a few questions about some resumes on his resume, and Xiao Mu's answers were completely OK.

Zhong Ming was quite satisfied.

He used to work as a concept artist in a large company, and then switched to a small company as a master artist. As a result, after more than half a year, the company's state has deteriorated, and the promised treatment has not been implemented, so there is a plan to change jobs. Judging from the work, it is not bad, and in terms of the current needs of Shimmer Studio, it is no problem to be qualified as an original artist.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Okay, it's all good." Make an original painting on the spot, the theme of martial arts characters, there are no specific requirements, and the time limit is two hours. ”

Xiao Mu nodded: "Okay." ”

He was also a little surprised, the interview here was quite straightforward, unlike interviewers from other companies who always like to ask questions, so he casually asked about his resume and started the test directly.

Xiao Mu took out his hand-drawn tablet and began to conceive and compose.

Zhong Ming pushed the door and went out, leaving Xiao Mu alone in the small conference room to paint.

The reason why the interview seems very casual is mainly because Xiao Mu's position is the original painting of the game, Zhong Ming knows that this position depends on the work in the final analysis, as long as the work painted on the spot is taken out, you can see what the level of this painter is.

From yesterday afternoon to this morning, there have been many interviews with people one after another, although not everyone is suitable, but it is obvious that there are quite a few reliable people.

As long as you carefully screen it, many positions can be filled.

This should be the effect of that aura, so Zhong Ming has been wearing the aura during the day for the past few days, covering the whole process.

……

Soon, two hours arrived.

Zhong Ming knocked softly on the door and entered the small conference room.

"How's it going?" Zhong Ming asked.

Xiao Mu handed the hand-drawn tablet to Zhong Ming: "I didn't have time to refine and color, but the general framework is there, you can take a look." ”

Zhong Ming took the drawing tablet.

Topics like this with fewer restrictions require more time to conceive and design. The more restrictive the subject matter, the fewer directions you can choose from, and the faster you can write.

Like this painting, probably a large part of the time was spent on ideation.

The theme given by Zhong Ming is "martial arts characters", that is, to give an original painting of the character.

The requirements of the original character painting are to highlight the character in the picture, and to draw a full-body portrait of the character as much as possible to facilitate the production of the model. Moreover, the original painting of the character also has certain accuracy requirements, including the details of the clothing on the body, the background of the surrounding environment, etc., which can show the personality of the character and cannot be fooled.

The figure on the screen is a warrior monk with a single palm in his left hand and a long stick in his right hand. The background is expressed in ink and wind, with mountains, rivers and bamboo forests.

This background is drawn to be a chicken thief, and it is a more time-saving way to express it with ink and ink in the case of limited time, but the effect is not bad, and it is very in line with the theme.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Well, it's not bad." ”

In addition to being happy, Xiao Mu also had a little pain.

This interviewer really doesn't have many words, and he can only say "good" to such a picture?

"Do you think there is anything else that could be improved?" Xiao Mu asked tentatively.

Zhong Ming thought about it for five seconds, took the pen, quickly copied one, and then created a new layer and began to quickly sketch on it.

"There's a little bit of a problem with the layout, and the characters take up a bit less space."

"In terms of the characters' movements, although there are no common sense mistakes, this action is not very impressive, and there are no characteristics. It might be better if you switch to standing on one leg. ”

"There are also details, there are a lot of bits and pieces on the warrior monk's body, although it looks more gorgeous, but it is not very in line with the warrior monk's personality. In fact, simple, plain clothes can also be painted, such as this ......"

Zhong Ming said as he quickly revised it on the drawing tablet.

This operation dazzled Xiao Mu, and the whole person was stunned!

I saw Zhong Ming's right hand holding a pressure pen poking and poking on the hand-drawn board, the whole thing was like a quick shot, and after just a few minutes, the line drawing was finished!

The key is that the effect after the change is really much better than before!

Structure, layout, character movements, details...... After making some revisions in all aspects, Xiao Mu himself felt that this painting seemed to have obviously risen a notch!

"That's pretty much it, but it's nice that you can draw like this, keep up the good work. I'll talk about the salary when I go back and talk about the salary, and I'll call you when the time comes. ”

Zhong Ming briefly told Xiao Mu about the problems in his paintings, and then the interview was over.

Xiao Mu took the hand-painted tablet and walked out with a confused face, with only one feeling in his heart: awesome!

Sure enough, the real cattle people are all the type of people who don't talk much......

Xiao Mu was still wondering before, what is this young man doing, is he an intern in the company?

As a result, I found that I was thinking too much, and this was probably the main artist of the project......

As for why people are so young...... Then who knows!

Xiao Mu is completely convinced, and sure enough, the art of the level of "Ink and Smoke" is not designed by ordinary people, this is definitely a bombarded character in terms of art!

At that time, Xiao Mu decided, even if he was slightly pressed when talking about salary, he must come, and he will definitely learn real things by following this kind of person!

……

Midday.

Zhong Ming, Zhou Sen and others came to the internal restaurant of Huanyu Grand View for lunch.

Here is a buffet, 30 yuan a person, Chinese and Western food are available, but if you want to eat some particularly expensive things, you need to pay extra, and the buffet is some basic food.

But even so, it is relatively cost-effective for this price. This can also be regarded as some benefits for these companies within the world.

After all, so much rent was spent, and it was not too much to give compensation to eat.

The four of them found an empty table and sat down, and began to eat.

"That Xiao Mu, how's it going?" Jiang Wanna asked.

Zhong Ming thought for a while: "It's okay, I think it's okay to be qualified for the original painting position." If there is no more satisfactory one, the original painting is his. ”

"So how many have been settled now? On the program side, Brother Dahui and I think that Yu Wei is good, and on the backstage side, we will meet two in the afternoon. Zhou Sen said.

Zhong Ming thought about it: "This morning, plus Xiao Mu, a total of three interviews, plus the six people interviewed yesterday, a total of three posts are basically determined." Efficiency is ok. ”

"It's okay, it's just going so well, okay?" Brother Dahui complained, "Why haven't I encountered this situation when I recruited people before, I couldn't have a few suitable candidates for a position for a week or two before, but now it's good, come for an interview, and there will be a more reliable one or two people every other day, it's amazing!" ”

Zhong Ming smiled: "It shows that Shimmer Studio has a good reputation, and everyone is willing to work here." If the recruitment goes well, you should be able to start work directly after the year and start a new project. You have to change your thinking a little, now you can't just do your own work, there are people under your hands, you have to coordinate the progress of the group, and accumulate some management experience. ”

Brother Dahui nodded and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with the program." ”

Zhong Ming looked at Jiang Wanna again.

Jiang Wanna: "Look at what I'm doing, I'm fine!" ”

"That's good." Zhong Ming smiled, "There are still a few people who will come for an interview in the afternoon, cheer up and strive to finish things as soon as possible." ”

……

Soon, a candidate was finalized.

The recruitment plan that was set before was basically completed at a very magical speed.

Of course, it was mainly the aura that played a role.

A special HR is the first to join, and after that, HR is responsible for notifying interviews, salary negotiations, etc., and Zhong Ming is just a little checked.

In terms of interviews, Zhong Ming and Brother Dahui are mainly interviewing.

Zhong Ming's interview is very simple, because asking a few words is basically clear, and there is no need to add those cumbersome contents, just a waste of each other's time.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everyone wants it, Zhong Ming's standards are still very strict.

There are many reliable people, but there are also many unreliable people.

There was a person who came to interview the world architect, who was very talkative, and talked about industry trends with his mouth closed, but he took a look at the design documents he wrote, and he brushed them off.

There was an interview for action art, Zhong Ming looked at his previous works, and it was really spicy, and he brushed it off directly.

There are many people, the interview is fast, and many positions are finalized, but most of them have only determined their verbal intentions, and they are waiting to join the company after receiving the year-end bonus.

Other people who don't plan to get the year-end bonus have nothing to do when they come a year ago, so Zhong Ming is also arranged until the end of the year.

……

At night.

Zhong Ming returned home, lay down on the sofa, and stretched.

This day was a crazy interview, but I was tired enough.

The few extra desks in the living room have all been sold second-hand, and a lot of space has been freed up all of a sudden. The game console, big TV, driving simulator, etc., which I bought before, have all arrived, and they are placed in the living room, making it a bit like a game room.

As a result, I wanted to play before I bought it, but suddenly I didn't want to play after I bought it.

Anyway, these things are here, let's talk about it when you have time.

Wait, aren't you free now......

Forget it, it's weird and tired.

Zhong Ming opened the bracelet, flipped through Weibo, and went to various game platforms to shop casually, wanting to see if there were any new games launched recently.

"Oh? "The End of the Sword World"? It turned out to be done by Light Wing Entertainment. ”

Zhong Ming found that several app markets have listed this game in a very eye-catching recommended position, and it is noted that it is still in the internal testing stage.

But it's not a small battle.

Light Wing Mutual Entertainment has its own channels, but it is not particularly big. Like these companies to do their own channels, just to be less wool by others, in terms of scale, it must not be compared with some game platforms that only do channels.

Therefore, in order to achieve the best publicity effect, Guangyi Interactive Entertainment must be combined with other game platforms to make a new game.

"It looks like the quality is good. How can Lightwing Mutual Entertainment still make this kind of game? It's kind of amazing. ”

Zhong Ming said that he was really a little impressed by the light wing entertainment.
