Chapter Seventy-Two: Top Painters
Xue Kui flew back to Chang'an after arranging things, and there was only one month before the exam week, and he had to use all the time to review well and strive not to fail the course.
I took a university course 10 years ago, but after so many years, I have forgotten a lot of things.
After Xue Kui returned to Chang'an, the project on the side of the magic capital was progressing in an orderly manner.
Li Xiang, the game producer's daily job, is to keep an eye on everyone's work, and when he is tired, he returns to his workstation to play games and fish.
Sun Wencheng is the hardest working one, while being responsible for supervising the MOBA confrontation mode, he will also run to [Photon Studio] from time to time to check the progress of the other party, and observe the opponent's style, and then return to [No Return] to fine-tune the MOBA confrontation mode.
With the cooperation of Zhao Lei's team, the original drawings of [Fengshen: Legend of Demon Suppression] were all completed within two weeks.
After this batch of original paintings was made, not only Sun Wencheng's jaw dropped in shock, but even Zhang Zhiyi couldn't help but look at it twice.
ginger with a long gray-white beard and wearing a hat; Su Daji, who has charming eyes and is dressed in a red robe; Shen Gong Leopard, who has sharp eyebrows and is dressed in a black and yellow robe...
Each character is vivid, so that people will not forget it for a long time after looking at it.
All in all, in terms of art style, this is definitely a highlight.
……
……
When the project team of the magic capital was working on the game design in an intense and orderly manner, Xue Kui rarely enjoyed a few days of pure study life.
It's just that the weekly ELSP earnings settlement day makes him a little uncomfortable.

[Host: Xue Kui]
[System funds: 4.476 million (2 million ↑)]

[Next settlement time: 60 days later.] 】
In the past two weeks, [Phantom Show] has brought another 2 million to his company.
Although the income has begun to decline sharply, the 3.2 million in front of him is really a bit of an eyesore.
Just when Xue Kui was worried, Sun Wencheng called.
"Mr. Xue, there is a situation that must be reflected to you." Sun Wencheng's tone didn't seem to be confident.
"What's the matter?"
"The budget for our game... Not enough. ”
Sun Wencheng said with a little difficulty.
This is mainly because the art completion and exquisiteness that Zhang Zhiyi's team is responsible for are too high!
Sun Wencheng's team, which is in charge of the MOBA confrontation mode, felt a huge pressure, so he thought about letting Zhao Lei's team be responsible for this part of the art.
Due to the relationship between the plot mode, the stand-alone mode and confrontation mode of [God: Legend of Demon Suppression] are two completely different design schemes.
The single-player mode uses 3D modeling, first/third-person view console game templates, so that players can immerse themselves in the game's story.
The adversarial mode uses the tiling mode of traditional MOBA games to observe the whole picture.
After Zhao Lei's team took over the plot mode, they had already drawn the original picture step by step.
Because of budget issues, the first issue only considered the plot mode of being a hero.
Sun Wencheng chose Jiang Ziya, a representative character, to design a single-player plot.
After two weeks of preliminary design, Zhao Lei's team has drawn most of the original paintings, and there are two more days to finish it and enter the next procedure.
At that time, Zhao Lei and others, who were in charge of the original painting, would be idle.
Because the plot mode emphasizes more on the requirements for details, Zhang Zhiyi decided to let the top domestic ink painting masters be responsible for this part when he decided to do this part well.
Sun Wencheng led the team to be responsible for the MOBA confrontation design, although the details of the painting style are not as demanding as the plot mode, but it is not too bad.
If it weren't for the addition of Zhao Lei's team, Sun Wencheng wouldn't have felt that there was anything wrong with doing so.
However, when he saw the original painting of the character taken out by Zhao Lei's team, he couldn't bear to look directly at the original painting drawn by his team's original artist!
On one side is the original painting of the character drawn by the ink painting master, and on the other side is the original painting rendered in the style of ink painting, and the gap is visible to the naked eye!
If you put these two art styles that you don't understand at all into the same game, then this game will really become a four-way game, and it will even make players laugh!
After discovering this situation, Sun Wenguo stopped the work of the original artists in the group, and instead asked Zhao Lei's team if they could continue to be responsible for the original painting work on the MOBA side after completing the original painting work of the plot mode.
The answer was 'yes', but it had to be paid.
Sun Wencheng looked at the small budget left, so he could only ask Xue Kui for money.
"Okay, add another 4 million to the budget, and by the way, ask if there is a shortage of money in the stand-alone mode, and if there is a shortage of money, increase the budget for the plot mode. Don't worry about money, what we want to do is a different game!
In short, put all the 4 million into the game! ”
Xue Kui was worried about how to find a reason to inject money into the game, and it happened that Sun Wencheng asked for money.
It's just that someone handed a pillow when I fell asleep, comfortable!

[Host: Xue Kui]
[System funds: 476,000 (4 million ↓)]
[Host property: 46452.5 (698↓)]
[Next settlement time: 60 days later.] 】
Seeing that there was still a budget of more than 470,000 left, Xue Kui lay on the bed contentedly.
There are still 7 weeks left until the game's release, and the sales of [Phantom Show] have already begun to drop significantly.
Xue Kui estimated that he would be able to earn up to 2 million in the next 7 weeks, and then take the 2 million to rent a server and spend the money in one fell swoop.
"I can earn 50W this time!"
……
……
After Sun Wencheng got the 4 million transferred by Xue Kui, he called Zhao Lei's team as soon as possible.
The person in charge of answering the phone handed over the phone to Zhao Lei after hearing that it was Sun Wencheng.
"Teacher Zhao Lei, it's me, Sun Wencheng."
"Have you made a decision?"
"Yes, let's see when it's convenient, let's sign the contract!"
"Tomorrow."
"Okay."
Sun Wencheng put down the phone, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then got up and came to [Photon Studio] to find Zhang Zhiyi.
"Little grandson? You may be seated! ”
Seeing Sun Wencheng coming, Zhang Zhiyi stood up with a little excitement.
He was worried about the financial problem, and he was thinking about waiting for the first batch of original paintings to come out in two days, and he asked Xue Kui to mention the original paintings.
At this time, Sun Wencheng came over, thinking that he could just see what Sun Wencheng meant.
After all, Sun Wencheng revealed to him two days ago that he would also ask Zhao Lei's team to be responsible for the original painting, so the budget will definitely increase!
He can also take advantage of the situation and ask Sun Wencheng to help Xue Kui talk about increasing the budget!
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xue called me just now and asked me to ask about the progress of the plot mode design."
"It's coming!"
Zhang Zhiyi's face was slightly bitter, showing a little entanglement, and he sighed and said: "The plot mode is progressing relatively smoothly, but..."
