Chapter 54 Deliberately Earn the Store Manager's Money!

At present, everyone's evaluation of these characters is: they are cute and have obvious characteristics, but I don't know what kind of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods these are all...

This was in Chen Mo's expectation, and looking at the characters apart from the plot, it would be a ghost if he could see things.

Chen Mo asked, "Goldfish, if you were to complete the original drawings of these characters, including detailing and coloring, how long would it take? You don't need to be too precise, the size can be done according to my line draft."

Su Jinyu thought for a while: "Well... these cards are not too complicated. It should be almost the same in four or five days."

Chen Mo shook his head: "Three days."

"Ah?" Su Jinyu hesitated. "Three days is not impossible, but the quality will definitely be worse."

Chen Mo said: "It doesn't matter, such a big card is still on the mobile phone. It doesn't matter if the precision is a little bit lower. It's okay if the quality is a little lower. It can be optimized gradually in the future.

Su Jinyu nodded in embarrassment: "Okay, then I'll try my best."

Wen Lingwei said: "If it's refinement and coloring, I can too."

Chen Mo was stunned: "Are you sure? These are official game resources, at least so that players can't find faults."

Jia Peng reminded: "The store manager, the senior is also a serious art student, and usually takes over the work of the original painting."

Chen Mo was stunned, yes, Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng are from the school's publicity department. The publicity department usually needs to draw posters, make exhibition boards, etc. Can they be the minister or deputy department without some hand-painting and image processing skills? ?

"Okay, it's good for you to help draw together, it can save a lot of time." Chen Mo said.

Wen Lingwei showed a meaningful smile: "Then how much are you going to charge me, the store manager? One of my original paintings costs 5,000, which is still a friendship price."

Chen Mo: "...I can't see that you are still a big touch?"

Like the original card painting, the asking price of painters of different levels is also very different, there are eight or nine hundred pieces, there are eight or nine thousand pieces, and there are even more expensive ones.

Of course, these things are worth every penny, and there must be differences in composition, light and shadow, color, etc. between a good painter and an ordinary painter.

Like Wen Lingwei, a card costs 5,000, which is still the price of friendship. This is already a level that can only be achieved by a well-known painter.

Chen Mo said: "But your 5,000 yuan friendship price still has to be designed, composed, and communicated with the demander? I already have this line draft, and the size is several times smaller than the original painting you usually draw. You can just refine and color, and give you two thousand, okay?"

Wen Lingwei: "Stingy."

Chen Mo: "..."

Wen Lingwei said: "Okay, for your poor sake, two thousand for one, one for three days. However, me and the goldfish are only two people, so don't be too slow."

Chen Mo looked at Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya: "If you want to paint, you can..."

Jia Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "We are not as high-level as Senior Sister. At most, we can help you draw some ordinary monster cards. Don't give us the protagonist card."

Chen Mo nodded: "That's okay, I have to draw monster cards later, I can share some of them with you, and I will give you the money according to the market price."

Jia Peng waved his hand: "It's alright, money is not important, just give it to the store manager."

Wen Lingwei raised her eyebrows: "Then how can it be done! The store manager is rich now, and "Plants vs. Zombies" earns him two million a month, right? It's not a few thousand dollars short of that."

Jia Peng nodded: "That's right. That's fine, just follow the market price."

Chen Mo: "..."

Wen Lingwei said: "Also, how do you and Jinyu calculate the money? Don't say that she won't give money because she is your assistant."

Chen Mo said, "Just like you, two thousand per card!"

Wen Lingwei nodded with satisfaction: "Well,

That's more or less. "

Su Jinyu originally wanted to say that she didn't want the money, but she thought about it again, why she couldn't get along with the money, so she happily accepted it.

Chen Mo is speechless, these people are really planning to make money from the store manager!

Chen Mo roughly divided these cards into points.

Both Su Jinyu and Wen Lingwei's painting skills are very high, and they are fully capable of drawing protagonist cards. Moreover, it is more convenient for Chen Mo to communicate with the two of them, so Chen Mo intends to give them two of the most important protagonist cards.

There were a few other students who could draw monster cards, and Chen Mo also reserved some shares for them.

According to the speed of one piece in 3 days, it took Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu 54 days to draw all 36 protagonist cards, which is obviously too slow, not to mention that this is only a part of the card. The total number of cards is More than three hundred!

This is different from "Plants vs. Zombies" at that time. Many zombies in Plants vs. Zombies can be reused, and the plants are very simple to draw. But in a card game, the cards are almost equal to the game itself. Players won't pay if they're ugly. Chen Mo didn't dare to make do with it.

Therefore, if you want to compress this time, you can only find art outsourcing.

Chen Mo said to Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu, "Do you know any art outsourcing company? The one that is more reliable."

Wen Lingwei thought for a while: "I know a family, and some of my friends are painters in it, and the level is okay."

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, give me your contact information. By the way, do you know the animation production company?"

Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu both shook their heads: "I know a few, but no acquaintances."

Chen Mo said: "Okay, that's it, let's get the few protagonist cards I just picked out first."

Chen Mo turned and went upstairs.

Su Jinyu said, "Wait, store manager, what type of game are we going to do next? Do we need so many original card paintings?"

Chen Mo said: "Don't worry, you will know in a few days."

...

Back on the second floor, Chen Mo was already a little sleepy, which seemed to be a side effect of the super accelerator.

According to the contact information given by Wen Lingwei, Chen Mo found the person in charge of the art outsourcing company, and then talked about the needs.

Chen Mo provides line drafts, so that the cost of modeling design and line drafting can be saved, and the time can be shortened accordingly.

In the end, Chen Mo negotiated a price of 2,200 for a protagonist card and 600 for a monster card.

Monster cards can be drawn more casually, so the price has dropped significantly.

Based on this calculation, Chen Mo spent roughly 36×3×2200+200×600=357,600, 350,000 on the full set of cards.

Of course, some of the monsters can be changed and reused at will, but no matter how much you suppress them, it is impossible to suppress them to less than 300,000.

There is a lot of money, but Chen Mo doesn't feel the pain. The money is really too high to be pressed any more. Chen Mo is already quite satisfied that he can buy this whole set of card resources with 350,000.

Among them, Chen Mo gave Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu the 7 key cards of MT, Silly Man, Stupid Thief, Inferior, Eldest Miss, President, and Eldest Sister to complete them. According to the speed of one card in three days, It will take a month to complete it all.

Su Jinyu also had to be in charge of game design, so Chen Mo couldn't let her draw cards all the time.

In addition, Chen Mo also distributed some monster cards to Jia Peng and the others, all calculated at the market price.

All other cards will be handed over to the outsourcing company. Anyway, within two months, all the cards will definitely be made without landing.
