Huaying's acquisition of Thorn Interactive Entertainment went smoothly.

Except for when Mu Suxing expressed his purpose to Jiang Yucheng and others at the beginning, several of the main executives of Jingthorn Interactive Entertainment hesitated for a while, there were basically no obstacles in the entire process.

Both parties opened the skylight and said something bright. Musuxing represented Huaying to give up the independent development rights of Thorn Interactive Entertainment. Jingthorn Interactive Entertainment did not bargain with greed. Everyone is still very clear about the current situation of its own company. Huaying’s conditions are not harsh. Even if it accepts the acquisition, Jingthorn Interactive Entertainment’s game development will not be affected at all. Instead, there will be more investments from Huaying. Why not do it?

"Boss, is this called Thorn Interactive Entertainment really worthy of acquisition?"

Seeing that Mu Suxing easily finalized a acquisition incident within less than two hours. While the people of Thorn Interactive Entertainment were still receiving the contract notarization, Du Yutang couldn't help but lower his voice and asked curiously.

Mu Suxing smiled slightly and just said, "You will know from now on."

Du Yutang was half-believing and half-doubting.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Musuxing, but that the current strength of Thorn Interactive Entertainment has proved their unreliability. Considering that this company is composed of young people who have graduated less than two years ago, this unreliability and risk must be multiplied by two.

Can these young people in front of you really match the superior conditions offered by their boss?

He didn't say this, but it didn't affect Mu Suxing's clear view.

In response to this, Mu Suxing could only smile and shook his head.

He can't tell the other party that these young people who are currently under the influence of any Yunsu game are still left to go, and those who are still able to live in a dilapidated and short office building. Ten years later, they have become the overlord of the Blue Star electronic game industry, and have repeatedly pressed Yunsu game under their feet?

After the contract notarization was completed, Jiang Yucheng volunteered to take the new boss around the workplace of Jingthorn Interactive Entertainment, and introduce the basic situation of Jingthorn Interactive Entertainment.

"...This is the beauty of our studio. Recently, it is mainly responsible for drawing a card for a female-to-love mobile game. According to the plan, we planned to be publicly beta at the end of this year, but the company is currently struggling with financial difficulties..." Jiang Yucheng said, with a slightly awkward expression on his face.

He also knew that he almost said "I beg for investment from the financial backer's father", but now, he really has no choice. "Expedition Girl" is already in decline, in comparison, this female-oriented mobile game has a lower cost and is easier to make a profit. Jingthorn Entertainment now has financial backers, but they still owe a lot of stock debts!

But……

When his eyes fell on the new boss who looked down at him, he seemed to be listening to him, but was actually faintly stunning. Jiang Yucheng was disappointed to find that his new boss seemed to... not interested in this game?

He was very disappointed, and he was conscious of his intention to change the topic. At this moment, Mu Suxing's clear voice came into his ears: "I understand."

Come back to the memory of the previous life, Mu Suxing lowered his head and looked at this past life. Every female player is familiar with the game plan.

In fact, in his memory, Thorn Interactive Entertainment started to become popular with this love mobile game. It was this mobile game that brought Thorn Interactive Entertainment back from the brink of bankruptcy and has since risen. Before that, no one expected that such a simple and low-cost love mobile game could become a hot game with easy and easy monthly flow of over 100 million yuan.

That being said, Mu Suxing did not make an investment decision immediately.

He believes in the quality of this game, but after all, the painting is not just his own painting is the process that should be followed. For a company with great ambitions, there is no reason to make exceptions at will.

So he thought about it and just said, "If you send the game plan to my assistant, I will arrange for professionals to conduct investment risk assessments."

"No problem! Thank you Mr. Mu for giving us this opportunity!" Jiang Yucheng said hurriedly.

He didn't expect Mu Suxing to treat Jingthorn Interactive Entertainment in a special way. For them, even if it was just a chance, it was enough. As a game producer, he was still very confident in his game.

Mu Suxing nodded invisibly and continued to walk forward.

Like the office building rented by Jingthorn Interactive Entertainment, the internal facilities of the workplace also appear relatively simple - to be more precise, except for the equipment made by the game, all the decorations in the entire office hall are extremely simple, and even the walls are showing the walls falling off, revealing white marks.

He stopped at a desk with a computer on but no one else.

Mu Suxing looked at the lit computer screen and found that it was a neatly arranged table, which counted the daily flow of "Expedition Girls" since the public beta.

"This is……"

Speaking of "The Expedition Girl", Jiang Yucheng also felt a little sad. He shook his head: "It's a failed work. It's almost half a month since the public beta has been around for now. Daily flow is getting worse every day. Maybe if you can't hold on for a few days, you'll be shut down."

He was talking about a failed work, but he was still a little regretful in his heart. No matter what, this was the first mobile game of Thorn Interactive Entertainment. He watched his hard work gradually decline and destruction, and Jiang Yucheng felt uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the facts are the facts. Now Thorn Interactive Entertainment has become a part of the painting. Although Musu Xingming said that he would not deprive Thorn Interactive Entertainment of independent development rights, he could not really do whatever he wanted and let Musu Xing lose money, right?

Mu Suxing looked at the poster of "Expedition Girl" on the wall.

He has a little impression of this game.

In his previous life, he would occasionally visit various forums. In addition to animation, the game section he saw the most.

"Expedition Girl" itself is not famous, but whenever someone proposes "what do you know which games you start high and end low, and play badly with good cards", "Expedition Girl" is on the list. Many players say that with the ability of Thorn Interactive Entertainment, they may not be able to save the game in the new version. Unfortunately, the economic conditions at that time were destined to be forgotten as a test piece for Thorn Interactive Entertainment.

On the wall, the girl in the poster smiled with her eyebrows and eyes, and her long white curly hair scattered behind her shoulders like seaweed. The slim pure black combat suit appropriately outlined her delicate figure. When you look closely, it is the one that suits the love of otaku.

Mu Su Xing asked: "Is this...a 2D strategy card mobile game?"

Although he didn't quite understand why Mu Suxing asked this, Jiang Yucheng still answered honestly: "Yes."

Mu Suxing pondered: "If it is this type of game, maybe it is impossible to save it."

Jiang Yucheng's heart thumped, then as if he realized the reality, he quickly shook his head: "If there were no competitors, we might be able to struggle, but Yunsu just happened to have a game of the same type and gameplay as us, and their lineup of game voice actors is more luxurious than ours..."

He didn't continue to say it, but the meaning in his words was already very obvious.

Although he was reluctant to part with him, Jiang Yucheng actually disagreed with Mu Suxing’s so-called “save” idea. In his opinion, even if Mu Suxing proved his ability, it was still in animation production.

Does he really understand game making?

Jiang Yucheng muttered in his heart, he didn't really say it, but the suspicion in his expression was obvious.

Mu Suxing didn't care either.

He understood Jiang Yucheng's suspicion, but in fact, the other party's suspicion itself was not wrong. Mu Suxing did not understand game production.

——But he understands art.

Mu Suxing thought for a while and said, "What if I start from the art aspect?"

Jiang Yucheng was slightly stunned: "What does it mean?"

"If we start from the art aspect and increase the exquisiteness of the card surface and the exquisiteness of the character's skin, it may have some unexpected effects." Mu Suxing said.

If it is another type of game, Musuxing may not be sure or confident. After all, no matter how well the game art is done, if the gameplay is not up to standard, players will not buy it. But "Expedition Girl" is a strategy card mobile game after all.

In this type of game, the appearance of card characters accounts for a considerable proportion.

Because of this, later players often joked about this kind of game where art is important, when they encountered planning that constantly tentatively tempted back and forth on the edge of players' patience: When wise planning started to show their presence again, I knew that the awesome artists were going to come out to save the world again ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Although this statement has an exaggeration, in a sense, it does verify the players' emphasis on art in this type of game.

What's more, compared to the same type of cloud speed game, "Expedition Girl" has no flaws. In this case, excellent art is likely to really have unexpected effects.

Jiang Yucheng disagreed.

In his opinion, the core of the game is gameplay. No matter how well the artist optimizes the card effect, it is difficult to recover the lost players. If you have this time and energy, it is more meaningful to focus the art on the new game.

What I thought about in my heart is the same thing. The cooperation between the two parties has just begun. Jiang Yucheng had no intention of refuting his boss in this detail, so he smiled and replied: "It makes sense, who has made everyone look at the face these days?"

Knowing that the other party did not believe this statement in his heart, Mu Suxing smiled and did not explain much.

There are indeed many similar things in my previous life, but Mu Suxing can't guarantee whether this will work for "Expedition Girl". He plans to wait for the film to return to the painting and continue to direct "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". He has free time to fish in the middle, and then try to make some optimizations and improvements to the art of "Expedition Girl".

The acquisition of Thorn Interactive Entertainment ended here, and the recent work direction and content was determined. Mu Suxing quickly devoted his energy to the production of Magic Yuan. When he finally took time to view various materials of "Expedition Girl", it was already a week later.

He opened the art documents sent by Jiang Yucheng on his computer.

Mu Suxing has never worked as a game artist, but he still has the basic aesthetic as an artist. Taking advantage of the afternoon break, he scanned all the card drawings of "Expedition Girls" and soon discovered some inconsistencies.

Strictly speaking, it is not a unique inconsistency point in "Expedition Girl", but...

Mu Suxing observed the portraits on the computer and quickly understood the source of this incongruity.

For this type of game, most producers will choose to outsource the character portraits. In other words, the dozens of portraits in the game are often the works of different artists. In the studio without a special art director to grasp the overall art style and temperament of the game, it is easy to see a single portrait that looks pleasing to the eye, but it will be inconsistent to see it after a series of views.

Just as he was planning to do something else to adjust his mood to make magic circles. Mu Suxing thought about it, and simply pulled out the pictures one by one, read them carefully, and made a whole fine-tuning of all the pictures.

In the next period of time, in addition to focusing on the work of director Mo Yuan, Mu Suxing began to try to draw a portrait of the new roles of "Expedition Girl".

Although he had never worked as a game artist, as a painter, he still knew the style and development trends of game original paintings in later generations. Now he used typical future popular painting methods.

Mu Suxing did not deliberately hide the fact that he was stolen in private fishing. It was because of this that within two days, Fang Lian saw the portrait of a beautiful girl that had not been completely painted on Mu Suxing's computer screen.

The girl in the picture smiled in her eyes, and her curly chestnut hair naturally fell down, rubbing slightly messily beside the hilt of the sword pillowing on her shoulders. The girl's softness and the coldness of the weapon formed a strong visual contrast at this moment. The most amazing thing is that the girl in the picture clearly cannot be wrapped tightly in her clothes, but it looks a bit more itchy and sexy.

Fang Lian just glanced at that casually.

But just such a casual look made his eyes turn to Lipao that fell on the screen, and his eyes suddenly solidified. His originally absent-minded expression also lit up when he saw Lipao.

If you want to say that this picture reflects how excellent the artist is, it is not entirely true. What must be said is that the artist has a visual effect completely different from the current general style in terms of details such as painting and composition, just like... adopting a more novel expression method.

Fang Lian stared at the character picture in front of him, and for a moment, he felt reluctant to leave and unwilling to look away.

It’s not that the beautiful girl in the picture is so attractive - well, this does account for a very important part, but most importantly, this painting method gives him a very wonderful feeling...

Put it in animation is a simple appreciation of the character's exquisiteness, and in games, it is a style... fashion sense?

Fang Lian became more and more interested in the more he looked at it. He turned to find Mu Suxing and said enthusiastically: "A Mu, the girl you painted on your computer is the character of the next animation, right?" Thinking of this, Fang Lian felt that his body was tired of work seemed to have been healed, and he suddenly felt fighting spirit: "What is her name? What is the specific character?"

"Don't the company's newly acquired game company has a 2D mobile game?" Mu Suxing said: "It's also idle. I just drew a few new characters to paint."

After sending him away in a few words, he said on the spot that he would definitely support Fang Lian, who was his mobile game. Mu Suxing modified the last character portrait and sent it to Jiang Yucheng together.

Suddenly, Jiang Yucheng was a little confused when he received an art document change package from his boss.

The documents arrived at the same time as the new boss was not playing according to common sense. As soon as Jiang Yucheng answered the phone, Mu Suxing rang out of the other end: "Doesn't Jingthorn Interactive Entertainment have an art director?"

"Art Director?"

Jiang Yucheng was slightly stunned for a while before he realized the meaning of Mu Suxing's words.

Generally speaking, in the production of PC games and console games, special art directors will be set up to ensure the harmonious and unified art style of the game. Mobile games are not the case, even Thorn Interactive Entertainment, and there is currently no habit of setting art directors.

"It shouldn't matter, right?" Jiang Yucheng said: "At present, there are no mobile game studios in the mobile game market that have set up this position."

That's because these mobile game studios are small workshops, they don't have money, and they don't feel the need to set up this position.
To be continued...
