If he had known earlier that this was a picture of his own project, Pei Qian would definitely have forcefully given instructions on it.
For example, some unreasonable requirements were put forward in terms of painting style, details, character demeanor, etc.
However, Pei Qian just praised this painting. He couldn't immediately put forward various opinions after hearing that it was his project, right?
That would be too obvious and unreasonable.
There was no other way. Pei Qian could only force out a smile: "Well, that's good."
Ruan Guangjian clicked a few times on the tablet with a pressure-sensitive pen and opened a folder.
"There are other line drafts here too. Mr. Pei, please take a look and see if there are any problems. You can modify them as soon as possible."
The folder is full of thumbnails of various line drawings, but each thumbnail is accompanied by a photo.
Obviously, after Hu Xianbin finalized the roles in these games, he went to find some motion capture actors with suitable conditions.
The appearance of the motion capture actor does not need to be exactly the same as the character model in the movie, but it must be roughly the same, because when two people with completely different faces perform motion capture, the data generated will be different, and copying it mechanically will definitely collapse.
.
In order for the motion capture system to achieve the best results, motion capture actors must be carefully selected, and the characters in the game must be highly consistent with real people.
Obviously, while Pei Qian was busy arranging trusteeship and fitness and other work, Hu Xianbin had already advanced the preparations for "Struggle" a lot.
"Isn't he a newcomer? This efficiency is crazy, right?"
"Is it possible that I am so unlucky that I can promote a chief planner who is so capable?"
"Um?"
Pei Qian thought about it and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Even if Hu Xianbin is very efficient, there is no reason why he can find so many foreign actors in such a short time, right?
Finding people cannot be solved by improving efficiency!
Take a closer look at these photos.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it looks!
Pei Qian thought about it for two minutes and suddenly remembered where he had seen it.
Aren't these all foreigners who were cast as supporting roles in "A Better Tomorrow"?
When I was filming "Better Tomorrow" before, the three main actors who appeared the most were all Chinese, but in addition there were a large number of extras who served as backdrops, with all kinds of skin colors and nationalities, all of them Huang Sibo and others worked hard.
The foreign friends I found through hard work around Jingzhou.
But these people appeared too few times, and after such a long time, Pei Qian's memory of the plot in the movie was a little blurry, so he didn't recognize them at the first time.
Now, Pei Qian has confirmed that this is not because Hu Xianbin is efficient at work, but because he cheated!
He must have asked Huang Sibo for the contact information of these people, and then copied the homework directly!
No wonder these photos look so familiar!
Pei Qian was simply speechless.
Hu Xianbin, Hu Xianbin, you look like a loyal and honest guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come you are so skillful at copying homework?
Pei Qian looked at these photos and line drawings one by one.
There are obvious differences between actors from various ethnic groups and skin colors, actors from poor families and actors from rich families.
This is normal, after all, there are poor and rich classes in reality, and it is difficult to change the temperament accumulated over a long period of time.
Pei Qian worked very hard to find a tricky angle to give Ruan Guangjian some reverse guidance.
But I can’t find the angle!
Because it all makes so much sense!
Hu Xianbin's casting was obviously based on the real economic status and family background of these extras, and it fits the characters in the game very well.
When Ruan Guangjian created art based on these photos, he also paid great attention to the sense of proportion. He simply amplified their characteristics and did not let the virtual image deviate too far from the actual image.
Pei Qian was so anxious that he couldn't find an angle to start from.
Mr. Pei fell into deep thought.
"Well... for a game, the graphics is only one aspect, and the core competitiveness of this game to persuade players lies in its content and gameplay. It seems that it is not impossible to relax the style a little..."
"Wait a minute, I can't have this wrong idea!"
"I thought the same thing when I was watching "Return to the Shore"!"
Pei Qian originally thought of letting it go, but after considering the lessons learned from "Back to the Shore", he suddenly came to his senses.
Never make the same mistake twice!
Now that we have seen the weapon Ruan Guangjian used to stab him in the back, we must find a way to make this weapon malfunction!
The water you put in now will be the blood from the back stabbing later!
"Think about how to mislead him..."
"Well...this painting pays great attention to sense of proportion..."
"Yes!"
Pei Qian found that when Ruan Guangjian was creating these images, he was worried that too much artistic processing would make these characters deviate from their original true images, so he exercised some restraint.
This also reminded Pei Qian of Lu Zhiyao's acting skills at that time.
Lu Zhiyao's biggest problem should be that he used too much force.
Pei Qian gave some reverse guidance at that time, which made Lu Zhiyao's acting more restrained, and the result was well received.
This is a very serious mistake!
Ruan Guangjian's attainments in painting are obviously much higher than Lu Zhiyao's. He clearly understands that too much is too little, so he is very restrained when creating.
So, this is a breakthrough!
Isn’t it enough to make Ruan Guangjian’s paintings “use too much force”?
Pei Qian coughed twice: "The painting is very good, but I have a few small suggestions."
Ruan Guangjian immediately attached great importance to it: "Oh? Mr. Pei will tell you in detail, and I will change it immediately."
After all, Mr. Pei is the chief designer of the game, and of course has the highest decision-making power on the art requirements of this game.
Pei Qian said seriously: "These images are not too far removed from the real images of the motion capture actors. You seemed to be very restrained when you were creating them, right?"
Ruan Guangjian nodded: "Yes, because too much artistic exaggeration will make these images lose their authenticity."
Pei Qian clapped his hands: "That's right! This is what I want!"
Ruan Guangjian: "Ah?"
"Ahem." Pei Qian realized that he was getting carried away and quickly restrained himself.
"What I want is a loss of authenticity."
"I want a more extreme and artistic way of expression. Words like truth and subtlety have nothing to do with this game."
"In short, the more bizarre the images are for me, the better, and I try to achieve the effect of using too much force!"
Ruan Guangjian frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
When Hu Xianbin of Tenda Game Department contacted him, he did not make any similar demands.
Even Hu Xianbin did not put forward too detailed art requirements.
Of course, this does not mean that there is something wrong with Hu Xianbin’s work attitude. This is the tradition of Tenda’s gaming department.
The successive heads of Tenda Game Department all knew about "Ghost General" and knew that at that time, President Pei completely delegated power and allowed Boss Ruan to develop freely, which is why the classic original paintings of "Ghost General" were created.
Therefore, in these subsequent games, including "Game Maker", "Return to the Shore", etc., Ruan Guangjian also has absolute control over the art style.
This time Hu Xianbin proposed the art requirements for "Struggle", which naturally continued this tradition and allowed Ruan Guangjian to decide the specific painting style.
However, now that President Pei has personally requested that this point must be taken into consideration.
"Well..." Ruan Guangjian frowned and fell into deep thought.
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, very good!
This seems to be the expression on the designer’s face when he meets the mentally retarded client!
Pei Qian can especially understand this feeling. The line drawings of these characters have been sketched out, and the general image creation has been completed, but it is just a matter of refinement. As a result, Party A suddenly came over and said that they wanted to make major changes.
What designer can't be angry?
But this is exactly what Mr. Pei wants!
He was already prepared, and when Ruan Guangjian argued hard, he would give full play to Party A's unreasonable characteristics, transform into a domineering president who was well versed in science, and fight back all Ruan Guangjian's reasonable suggestions.
Pei Qian seemed to have seen the dawn of revenge.
Ruan Guangjian thought about it for five minutes, still frowning, obviously he still had reservations about Pei Qian's words.
But what surprised Pei Qian was that Ruan Guangjian held it in for five minutes without making any protest or even thinking of negotiating with him!
After a long time, Ruan Guangjian seemed to have finally made up his mind.
He took a deep breath and looked at Pei Qian.
Pei Qian was instantly ready.
Here you go! Finally, you’re going to battle with me!
Come on, I have prepared the most unreasonable quotes from Party A!
"I don't want you to think it, I want me to think it. If you think it doesn't work, I think it works, change them all. No matter what your reasons are, these original paintings must be changed!"
These words have stuck in Pei Qian's throat, waiting to be turned into bullets aimed at the number one figure in this small book!
However, Ruan Guangjian gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! No problem!"
"Mr. Pei, although I haven't thought of a good solution yet, don't worry, since it's your request, I will try my best to meet it!"
Pei Qian: "??"
Dizzy.
What do you mean, that’s not how the script should be written, right?
Shouldn't you argue with your reasoning and fight with me?
Then aren’t all the lines I prepared prepared in vain?
Is it possible that Ruan Guangjian, who is dependent on others, does not dare to offend himself, so even if he disagrees with it in his heart, he still tries his best to fulfill the request of the mentally retarded Party A?
This is too tragic!
Pei Qian felt as if he had become an evil person, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.
He hurriedly said: "Uh... don't force it!"
Ruan Guangjian nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, don't force me, I understand what you mean!"
Pei Qian: "?"
Ruan Guangjian continued: "In artistic creation, you must find a suitable balance between Party A's needs and your own desire for expression. Only by finding this balance can you create the most perfect work."
"I believe that since you, Mr. Pei, have made this request, you must have deep considerations."
"Although I haven't thought of a good solution yet, after thinking about it just now, I also feel that this demand can also be fulfilled in other ways."
“It’s not a bad idea to try something else, maybe you’ll get something unexpected!”
"In short, Mr. Pei, don't worry, I will definitely put quality as the first goal and strictly demand myself. No matter what style it is, you will be satisfied!"
Pei Qian: "..."
I don't know why, but when facing Ruan Guangjian, I always feel like fighting against a Tai Chi master.
No matter what moves he uses, they have no effect at all. Instead, he is forced to use his strength to gain strength?
Pei Qian suddenly had a bad premonition and wanted to say the famous saying of Party A: "Let's use the first version."
But after thinking about it, if I really said it, people might mistakenly think that I have intermittent mental illness...
Once the words have been spoken, they cannot be changed.
Pei Qian had no choice but to nod very reluctantly: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. I hope the final product is consistent with what I expected..."
