Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 8

Zhong Ming frowned: "I can draw concept drawings, but not original drawings."

Xiong Kai's face darkened: "The concept map is already there, but now the original painting is missing."

Zhong Ming shook his head: "Drawing concept drawings can barely be considered my scope of work. Drawing original paintings is the work of the original artist, and has nothing to do with me."

Xiong Kai was even more unhappy: "Now we lack an original artist for the project, so you can draw it temporarily, can't you?"

Zhong Ming still shook his head: "The lack of an original artist should be solved by Director Liu. Whether it is recruiting people or borrowing from other projects, it can be solved. I am an intern in the design team, and this does not belong to my job category."

If Zhong Ming is a newcomer who doesn't understand anything, it is really possible that Xiong Kai has fooled him. Generally, newcomers can do whatever job they are given, and they don't know how to refuse.

But Zhong Ming knew very well that this was not within the scope of his duties at all!
The most important thing is, what is the salary of the original artist, and what is the salary of the intern?
The monthly salary of an original artist is at least 8000 yuan, and the salary of a slightly more senior artist is [-] yuan, and that of a level like Zhong Ming is even more expensive.

Now Zhong Ming's position is an intern in the design team, and his monthly salary is only 4000. Drawing this is basically nothing.

Moreover, this is not a matter of one painting. If Zhong Ming accepts it this time, there will definitely be a next time, and the next time, maybe at least half of the original paintings will have to be handed over to him in the future. Doing design and writing documents, let's patronize painting, and I got myself into the art group after doing it.

So Zhong Ming refused without even thinking about it.

Xiong Kai's face suddenly became a little uncomfortable. He originally thought that a fresh graduate, a rookie with no experience at all, shouldn't he just take it lightly?

In the end, Zhong Ming beat him back without even thinking about it!

Xiong Kai's face was dark: "You don't do the work I give you? Then what do you want to do?"

"Of course it's the job of an intern." Zhong Ming was unmoved, "Then why don't I ask Director Liu to confirm whether the original painting belongs to my job scope?"

"...Ha ha." Xiong Kai stopped talking.

He had nothing to say, because according to the normal division of responsibilities, this matter really shouldn't be handed over to Zhong Ming, and Xiong Kai wouldn't take it for granted if it really went to Liu Yuxin.

The conversation between the two people ended with "oh" and "hehe". It can be said that they broke up unhappy. The relationship between the two people was so tense on the first day, and there is probably no possibility of repairing it in the future...

Zhong Ming thinks it doesn't matter, this job is absolutely unacceptable, if he accepts this job, there will be another time, and he will be working for free for the next few months, why?
Zhong Ming could roughly guess what Xiong Kai was thinking.

Now the project "Mecha Era" is in a half-dead state. Judging by Xiong Kai's meaning, he still wants to struggle. When I was an architect, I made some achievements.

However, the real difficulty is that there is not enough manpower and insufficient funds.Xiong Kai came up with a new version, producing beautiful mechas to increase income, but there are too few artists and not enough manpower.

But Xiong Kai couldn't ask Director Liu for someone, because Director Liu himself knew that this project was about to fail, and the original artists had been seconded away. Isn't it nonsense to pay for the art now?The company will not give this money.

So Xiong Kai started to use his brains. Since this new intern is good at drawing, let him draw original paintings. The 4000/month intern can be used as an 8000/month original artist, at least a little more. Beautiful art resource.

When the new version is released, several beautiful new mechas will be released. Players will spend money, and the profit data will go up. These achievements will naturally be attributed to Xiong Kai, who has been promoting the design of the new version of mechas.

Zhong Ming knew these twists and turns, but his refusal didn't mean he was targeting Xiong Kai, but just defending himself.

Let me give selflessly, and then give you all the credit?How is that possible?

As a supervisor, Liu Yuxin would not make such a request to Zhong Ming, because he knew that this request was too excessive and unreasonable. This must be Xiong Kai's own petty 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 didn't care, it happened that you went to eat, so 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.

Zhong Ming has seen many things like "overtime work" in his previous life. In a simple sentence: it is indeed overtime work for oneself, no matter how much it is, it is worth it; , that is wasting your life.

After half an hour, Xiong Kai and several other employees came back.

Looking at the closed computer next to him and pushing back the seat under the table, it was obvious that Zhong Ming had already left work.

Xiong Kai was even more upset. He originally thought that Zhong Ming would put on a show of hard work on his first day at work, but it turned out to be fine now, and he patted his ass and left.

"Hmph, hit him hard tomorrow."

Xiong Kai sat down at his workstation and continued to work on his work.

At this moment, a message popped up on the intercom software: "Xiong Kai, you and Zhou Zhen are coming to me."

Xiong Kai saw that it was from Liu Yuxin, the supervisor, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried to Liu Yuxin's office with Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen is the main designer of "Mech Age", 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, 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 both of them knew without guessing that it must be something about the new version.

Liu Yuxin looked away from the design document on the computer, and looked at the two people: "How are you preparing for the new version? It will go online the day after tomorrow, so don't make any trouble for me."

Zhou Zhen said: "It's not a big problem, the progress is going well, but tomorrow night we may have to work overtime as a group. And the art side... the progress is a bit behind, and there are still three original paintings and models of the mechs that have not been released yet." , when the version goes online, one should be able to be released, and the other two... can only be cut off first, and put in the next version."

Liu Yuxin frowned: "The new mecha...how about modifying the old mecha a little bit, changing the color, and making do with it...or cut it off, let's just cut it off."

Liu Yuxin has long known about the lack of art, but there is nothing he can do about it.Of course, he is the project manager, and he can ask for someone from above, but the point 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. After deducting various sharing and publicity fees, the net profit may only be two hundred thousand. It is very difficult to support the project itself with this amount of money. If it turns into a pure loss-making business, how can we ask for more people?

Unless the profit of the project is brought up, and then the people's affairs are brought up, it can be justified.

Now?Let’s just make do with it, to be honest, Liu Yuxin himself doesn’t have much confidence in this new version, working overtime to make this new version is more like dying, hoping for a miracle to happen.
