Pei Qian has already considered that since he is going to crash "Q Cute Three Kingdoms", he can only choose the theme of the Three Kingdoms.
However, the Three Kingdoms theme itself is actually a passable IP, not too good, but not too bad either.
The best way to make players hate these Three Kingdoms characters is to completely subvert their traditional image!
In this way, those players who love the Three Kingdoms will naturally curse and quit the game when they see such messy changes, thus lowering the reputation of the entire game.
The important task of this magical transformation was left to Ma Yang to complete.
Pei Qian has full trust in Ma Yang's ability. As long as Ma Yang does his job seriously, he will definitely be as good as Huang!
Looking at the names of these characters, Ma Yang looked confused.
He stretched his head down from the upper bunk and whispered: "Brother Qian, I... I have only watched the TV series of the Three Kingdoms. There are many people here that I don't know how to handle..."
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy, isn't that just right!
If you know the characters of the Three Kingdoms very well, I wouldn’t trust you to entrust this task to you!
"It's okay, I believe you. The original intention is to subvert tradition, so feel free to use your imagination, the more subversive the better!"
"And you don't have to worry. The specific image you draw depends on the artist's design. You just provide a direction."
"You just open up the design. It's subversive anyway. No one will find common sense mistakes."
Pei Qian comforted him again and again.
He didn't want Ma Yang to give up and push the job back again.
Ma Yang finally nodded: "Okay, I'll try my best."
Pei Qian was worried and asked again: "Remember, it must be subversive! The more outrageous the better!"
Ma Yang sat on the upper bunk and started scratching his head and ears.
I held it in for ten minutes and made no progress.
He couldn't help it anymore, and stuck his head in again and said: "Brother Qian, how about I buy a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms first..."
Pei Qian immediately stopped: "No, absolutely not! I just like your innovative spirit, understand? You are not affected by the traditional image of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" now, so you can achieve this kind of subversion!"
"You must not think about his original image. Just use your imagination and change it as much as you can!"
Ma Yang had no choice but to say "Hey", retracted his head and continued to scratch his ears and cheeks.
After a while, he raised his head again and asked Pei Qian: "Brother Qian, can I set Guan Yu as a dragon?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Okay!"
After a while.
"Brother Qian, can I set Ma Chao as a human horse?"
"OK!"
After a while.
"Brother Qian, I set Zhou Cang as a dragon girl, Zhuge Liang as a great inventor, Huang Yueying as a mechanical puppet, Xu Chu as a tiger, Cao Pi as a tentacle monster, and Lu Meng as a dragon-slaying lolita.
...is that okay?”
Pei Qian slapped his thigh: "Okay! That's great! You know, Ma, you are a genius, just continue on this path!"
Ma Yang was originally full of doubts about his setting, but seeing Pei Qian's approval, he also gained confidence.
Seeing Ma Yang working so seriously, Pei Qian felt happy.
You found the wrong person!
Design Zhou Cang as a dragon girl and Lu Meng as a dragon-slaying lolita?
Look, what a genius nonsense this is!
This made Pei Qian think to himself that it was absolutely impossible to think of it!
It's a completely unreliable plan at first glance. If the time comes to find a cheaper artist and spend a lot of money, can the original painting of this game still be seen?
Imagine that the players drew Cao Pi and found out that it was a tentacle monster;
I drew Ma Chao and found out it was a centaur;
I drew Lu Meng and found out that the Governor turned into a dragon-slaying lolita...
This shouldn’t be scolded by fans who like the Three Kingdoms theme?
A famous international movie star once said that jokes are not nonsense, and changes are not random fabrications.
Now this is nonsense and fabrication. After this game was made, it was despised by thousands of people and made players who like the Three Kingdoms shed tears in their stomachs!
Pei Qian's gloom these past few days has been swept away, and he instantly feels that his life has become bright again!
Loss of 300,000, net profit of 300,000!
Pei Qian felt that a beautiful life was beckoning to him!
While Ma Yang was filling out the form, Pei Qian went to the resource station and took a look at the situation of the painters.
This resource station of ESRO integrates a large number of resources in the domestic gaming field, including human resources.
Whether they are designers, painters or programmers, they can provide services to buyers with clearly marked prices on the resource site.
Buyers can see the resumes and works of these people on the resource site, and if they are satisfied, they can discuss cooperation.
For example, how many original paintings by a certain artist should be purchased.
Pei Qian searched for painters who were good at original paintings and began to quickly eliminate them one by one.
The very famous Dachu has been excluded.
All elite painters in the industry with good reputations will be excluded.
Just look for those novice painters who sell an original painting for only 700 to 800 yuan!
After rummaging around and reading many people's works, Pei Qian found that they seemed to be pretty much the same.
There are thresholds for this resource site. It does not mean that any art student can obtain certification.
ESRO staff will conduct the review, and any novice painter who can be named on it will basically have good painting skills.
Pei Qian searched around and finally settled on a new artist with few representative works.
The representative works of this artist are all in the two-dimensional cute style, and there is no realistic style in the works.
This shows that he is probably not very good at realistic style!
The game Pei Qian wants to make is an original painting in a realistic style.
"It's him!"
Pei Qian made the decision immediately.
Of course, Pei Qian couldn't find just one painter because he wanted too many original paintings.
Some card games will make the original card paintings as detailed as posters, so even a senior artist will have to work for a week to complete them.
For example, the original painting that Pei Qian now requires is a card on the mobile phone screen. The precision can be greatly reduced, but it will still take about 2 days if the painter is capable enough and it is relatively laborious.
In other words, if a painter works hard for a month, regardless of quality, he can only produce about 15 original paintings at most.
Of course, Pei Qian’s original paintings are said to be 200, but they are not actually 200 completely different paintings.
There are only 50 characters, and each character has 4 original paintings with different star status.
Just like Zhuge Liang, from one star to four stars, there are only changes in some details and special effects, not everything is designed from scratch.
Therefore, the four original paintings of each character can be produced in sets.
Even so, a safe estimate would suggest that Pei Qian would have to find six or seven painters to ensure that all these contents are completed as scheduled.
Pei Qian plans to find a painter to discuss the price first, and then find others.
"Hello, our company is currently preparing a mobile card game and needs to mass-customize a batch of original paintings. We would like to discuss the pricing and construction period with you. If you are interested, please reply."
Pei Qian left a message to the painter named "Ruan Guangjian" and waited for a few minutes. There was no reply, so he probably was not online.
Pei Qian is not in a hurry. Anyway, Ma Yang's demand list will not be available until tomorrow at the earliest.
Looking at the time, Pei Qian felt that it was already night and his stomach was already growling.
"Old Ma, are you going to eat?"
Pei Qian got off the bed and looked at Ma Yang on the upper bunk.
Ma Yang was still racking his brains and typing on the keyboard, and there were already long paragraphs of text on the demand list.
"...Don't be so serious. Let's go and eat first." Pei Qian said.
Ma Yang was still a little obsessed with work, but he was really hungry and got out of bed.
"Canteen?" Ma Yang asked.
Pei Qian shook his head, patted his chest and said, "No, I'll treat you to eating out today!"
Ten minutes later.
The waiter brought a bowl of ramen and a bowl of egg fried rice and placed them in front of the two of them.
