Lu Mingliang's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the best concept artist that he had been looking for?
Asking for a high price wasn't a problem. Boss Pei had specifically said that he had to ask for a high price.
The key was that he was the concept artist that Boss Pei approved of!
He was the one who had created the classic concept art for Ghost General!
Boss Pei would definitely be very satisfied with this!
At that thought, Lu Mingliang sent a message to Ruan Guangjian.
…
At that moment, Ruan Guangjian was already at home.
As a fourth-year student, many of his classmates would be busy looking for jobs after the new year.
However, Ruan Guangjian was different. He was already being fought over by a few big shots' companies!
The original art of Ghost General could be said to be a huge hit. Almost the entire original art circle in the country knew of Ruan Guangjian.
Ghost General was a game that proved how popular Ruan Guangjian's unique epic ink oil painting style was and how much potential it had!
Many big companies that produced MMORPGs also extended an olive branch to Ruan Guangjian, hoping that he could help them with the concept design of the characters and scenery for their new games.
On the resource website, a large number of designers also hoped to work with Ruan Guangjian and let him be in charge of the concept art for their games.
However, Ruan Guangjian basically rejected all of these requests.
He had already made plans to set up his own art studio after he graduated from university. He would then gather all his friends in the dormitory and start his own business.
With such a perfect start, he could totally skip the outsourcing step and enter the next stage.
On the resource website, Ruan Guangjian's value naturally increased as well. He was now one of the top concept designers with the highest asking price. It could be said that he had risen to the top with Ghost General!
During this period, Ruan Guangjian only chose to take on some low-workload jobs. He planned to take a good rest during the second half of the university year and enjoy life. At the same time, he would prepare to open his own studio after he graduated from university.
Today, Ruan Guangjian was casually drawing a promotional image for a game company at home.
It was just a promotional image but it was priced at a hundred thousand yuan!
Of course, the accuracy of the promotional image was extremely high. It would take a week to half a month to complete.
However, this also reflected Ruan Guangjian's current value.
Ruan Guangjian had nothing to do during the new year. After some consideration, he accepted the job. He would take his time to finish drawing after the new year and earn a hundred thousand yuan as a bonus.
He opened the resource website and found that there were a few more messages.
Out of habit, he opened them one by one and closed them one by one after sweeping his gaze over them.
Most of them were not interested and did not want to take it.
Suddenly, Ruan Guangjian received a special message.
From Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd!
Of course, he remembered Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. Wasn't that the company that developed Ghost General?
He could still remember how open-minded and generous Boss Pei was when he was developing Ghost General. Not only did he not interfere at all, but he also allowed him to do as he pleased. He even gave him extra money!
He could reject any other job, but he definitely could not reject Boss Pei's!
After all, he was indebted to Boss Pei!
If not for Ghost General, Ruan Guangjian might still be struggling to find a job!
What's more, working with Boss Pei was a win-win situation in itself. If a good game became popular, the concept artists would naturally feel proud as well. Money was no longer that important!
Ruan Guangjian replied immediately.
This time, the person who contacted Ruan Guangjian was not Boss Pei or even the designer of Ocean Stronghold. Instead, it was a newcomer called Lu Mingliang who had just been promoted to chief planner.
Look at the speed of this talent generation!
After chatting with Lu Mingliang for a while, Ruan Guangjian found out about Tengda's current situation.
Simply put, Tengda was getting better every day!
When he was working on Ghost General, Tengda was still a small company. Pei Qian was at most an independent game designer.
However, now, Tengda was starting to take shape. After the success of Ocean Stronghold, a new project was soon launched.
That was the project that Lu Mingliang wanted to work with Ruan Guangjian on: Game Designer.
Ruan Guangjian considered for a while and did not agree immediately.
"Can you show me a simple design manuscript first?
I don't have any other intentions.
"I will definitely accept Boss Pei's projects unconditionally. I'm not trying to shirk my responsibilities. I'm just afraid that I'm not capable enough and that the results won't be outstanding enough.
"Can you show me the design manuscript first? If I think I can do it, I will do it myself. If I can't, I will introduce you to a better and more suitable concept artist in the industry."
Lu Mingliang quickly sent the design manuscript over.
Ruan Guangjian quickly scanned through it and could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Indeed, he was Boss Pei!
What a bold and imaginative design!
Although Ruan Guangjian did not know much about game design, he could feel that this game was full of irony towards the game industry. It was filled with dark humor!
This was not a shallow game that allowed players to enjoy brainlessly.
It looked like it was trying to disgust players, but in fact, it allowed players to be in the shoes of game manufacturers and designers. It exposed all sorts of chaos in the game industry!
It was not just a game that satisfied the needs of entertainment; it was also a work of art!
Furthermore, the abstract concepts that had to be designed in the game were very important in order to express the artistic value of the game!
Coincidentally, this was something that Ruan Guangjian was very good at.
Perfect!
After thinking for a while, Ruan Guangjian made up his mind.
"Alright, I'll accept this job!
"I will not shirk from Boss Pei's job!
"I don't have to pay according to the market price. Boss Pei took the initiative to increase the price for me back then. I will remember this kindness. This time, I will return the favor to Boss Pei. Just pay me a fee for my hard work! "
Ruan Guangjian suddenly felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his chest!
Producing concept art for other companies was a job.
However, producing concept art for Boss Pei was an artistic pursuit!
With such a good theme, he could use it to show his prowess!
The two of them hit it off and agreed to start work after Chinese New Year to produce the most crucial concept design!
…
…
12th February …
It was almost Chinese New Year 2010. Everything in the company had been arranged and the seven-day holiday was about to begin.
Pei Qian had already packed his luggage and was ready to head home.
Even though Pei Qian had been reborn and obtained the system and looked like a standard protagonist in all aspects, he did not join the Starting Point Orphanage.
His parents were safe and healthy.
However, they had always followed a free-range policy and did not have much of a presence.
In the few days after he transmigrated back, Pei Qian called home to confirm his parents' safety. After that, he did not contact them again.
As for the matter of setting up a company …
He did not tell his family about it for the time being.
There were two reasons.
First, Pei Qian had to explain clearly where the initial 50,000 yuan came from.
His living expenses were only 1,000 yuan a month and he was already having a hard time eating. There was no way he could save up 50,000 yuan to start a business or create games.
He couldn't possibly say that he had gone to do naked loans, right?
Second, Pei Qian's father, Old Pei, was an extremely traditional and inflexible person.
He had a rather prejudiced view towards games!
Old Pei had once said at the dining table that games were harmful to people and should be completely banned!
70% of those were drunken words and 30% were his true thoughts.
Old Pei could represent some of the parents in this era. Furthermore, this was a common phenomenon. If not, there wouldn't be such a thing as' internet addiction '.
Of course, Old Pei was only prejudiced towards games. Compared to those experts who made money from internet addiction, there was a fundamental difference in their motives.
One could only say that this was a generation gap.
However, no matter what, if Pei Qian were to tell his parents that he had set up a game company, made money and even sold the 888 Red Kilin …
It would feel as though a storm was brewing at home.
At that thought, Pei Qian's head hurt.
Based on the principle of avoiding trouble, it was best not to publicize this matter.
