Old Huang was a little worried. "Will it work? Even though Teacher Chen Qi is a big shot in the industry, he might have already forgotten about what happened a year ago. Who would remember you? "
"Furthermore, the big shots in the industry would definitely put a price tag on their promotions and their net worth would definitely not be low. We're hoping for them to help us promote Ghost General but we can't offer any benefits …"
Ruan Guangjian shook his head. "That might not be the case. Based on my observation, these big shots are usually rather easygoing. Even though they've accepted quite a number of promotions, it's common for them to advertise on Weibo as well."
"Most importantly, do they like our work?"
"If they do, someone will definitely share it. If they don't, there's nothing we can do."
Old Huang could only nod his head. "Yes, we can only give it a try."
Ruan Guangjian opened the chat group and Old Huang came over to take a look – it was truly a group of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
The owner of the group was Chen Qi, someone who had made a name for himself in the domestic games industry a few years ago. Most of the time, he was a judge in all sorts of concept art competitions.
As for the other moderators of the group, they were all famous people.
Some of them were famous in the Chinese comics industry.
Some of them specialized in concept design.
In fact, there were even some game designers, producers and novelists.
These were all people that Chen Qi knew through his connections. Most of them were artists while a small portion of them were professionals in games, animations and other industries.
Ruan Guangjian felt immense pressure speaking in a circle of big shots as such.
Ruan Guangjian pondered for a moment – he couldn't just ask for others to promote the game right off the bat. That would definitely be rude as well.
"Big shots, I'm a Year 4 art student and I've recently produced a set of original art. Could you guys please help me check if there are any flaws in it and if there's anything that I can improve on? Is that possible?"
Ruan Guangjian's tone was extremely polite.
Even though he was extremely confident in his art skills, he was a junior after all and he had to be humble.
The group wasn't particularly active and the big shots were extremely restrained in their chatter.
That was why Ruan Guangjian's message was not pushed down right away. Instead, it lingered in the group for a longer period of time.
Two minutes later, a person called "Artist Old Liu" replied, "Sure, send it to me."
Ruan Guangjian sent a few of his masterpieces to the group. "Thank you for your guidance!"
Painter Old Liu: "You're welcome. We're all in the same industry, so we should learn from each other and improve together. I just entered the industry a few years earlier than you."
A few seconds passed.
Painter Old Liu: "Tsk … I take back what I just said. You are the real boss! The light, the shape, the details! Are you really a fourth year student? "
Very soon, the lurkers in the group were blown up by these pictures.
"Another boss pretending to be a newbie? He's so skilled, yet he calls himself a newbie? If you're a newbie, then what am I?! "
"This foundation is too solid!"
"This expression is very unique. This dragon is Guan Yu? What a subversive image! But it doesn't feel abrupt. Instead, it feels natural! "
"This feeling is really majestic. Both the characters and the scenery are full of tension."
"Are all newbies monsters?!"
"There's no way I can judge an original artist of this level in terms of technique anymore. This is what talent looks like!"
"It actually gives me the feeling of a foreign master's work. I don't think the original art of Fantasy World can be better than this!"
"You can't say that. There's still room for improvement in the details … Of course, it's not a problem to crush me …"
The moment the pictures were sent, the entire group blew up!
They were all professionals and could naturally see the strengths that ordinary people could not.
When ordinary people looked at an original art, they would only look at whether it looked similar or how detailed it was. At the very most, they would stick to a subjective feeling.
However, in the eyes of professionals, they could see the light, the details and the shape of the original art …
In other words, if two similar artworks were presented to an ordinary person, they would not be able to tell which was better. However, if they were presented to a professional, they would be able to tell which artist was better with a single glance.
But now, the original art that Ruan Guangjian sent belonged to the type that was at the pinnacle in the eyes of the industry's big shots!
"Amazing! The key is imagination!"
"Jumping out of the traditional frame of a character and recreating it requires a wild imagination. However, to turn this imagination into a specific image, it requires a deep foundation and exceptional talent!"
"If this set of original art can be made into a game, it would be amazing!"
The one who spoke was Chen Qi, the owner of the group and a famous concept designer in the domestic gaming circle.
He paused for a moment before typing, "Friend, when did you join the group? Why don't I have any recollection of you …"
Ruan Guangjian's lips twitched slightly. Indeed, Chen Qi had forgotten about him.
After all, he had been added into the group by chance last year. Ruan Guangjian had not spoken for the entire year and many people had joined after that, so Chen Qi had long forgotten about him.
However, that didn't matter. For an artist, the most important thing was for their work to speak!
The moment those pictures were sent, everyone in the group knew about the talented new artist, Ruan Guangjian.
"Brother, do you want to consider joining our company after you graduate? The salary and benefits are definitely above the industry standard! "
"Come over to our side! Our development prospects are better and the dividends for our games are higher!"
The group was already starting to fight for people.
Naturally, Ruan Guangjian was elated. The fact that his work was highly acknowledged by industry insiders was something to be happy about in itself!
In reality, before this set of original art was released, Ruan Guangjian had no idea if his original style would be a huge success.
It was the same for similar fields. Before a novel was written, no one knew if it would become popular or if a movie would explode at the box office.
Furthermore, original art was something that had a strong aesthetic bias.
But now, Ruan Guangjian was filled with confidence when he saw the feedback of the professionals in the group!
However, he did not forget what he was here for.
"Actually, this is the original art for a game called Ghost General."
Ruan Guangjian typed, "However, the game has met with a little trouble. That's why I'm here to seek help from all of you big shots."
Chen Qi: "What's wrong?"
Ruan Guangjian: "Sigh, the company that developed the game is a small company with a conscience. They don't have much money and they used it all to develop and raise the quality of the game. In the end, they didn't even leave any advertising funds!"
"Therefore, I'm begging all of you to help me promote the game. Just share it on Weibo will do!"
Chen Qi: "Sure, it's just a Weibo post. That's easy. What's the name of the game? Which company is it from? "
Ruan Guangjian: "Ghost General. The company is called Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd."
