"...The situation is probably like this..."

Lu Yuxiang's voice on the phone was a little awkward.

Fan Zhe said: "I understand, I accept what they said, but at least a supplementary guarantee agreement must be signed, otherwise, what should I do in the end if I don't do it for nothing?"

"It's no problem, it's on me, and I will give you the result this afternoon at the latest."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Zhe's mood didn't change much, which was expected by him.

Just now, Lu Yuxiang called and told him one thing: the client, that is, "Giant Games", has been moved by Fan Zhe's case video, and decided to entrust him with the outsourcing order. But at the same time, they also made a request, that is, they will not pay a deposit, but will settle the remuneration in one lump sum after the finished product is produced.

The reason they gave was that Fan Zhe accepted the commission in the name of a personal studio. First, he did not have a reliable and formal corporate entity, and second, he had no reputation in this industry.

Fan Zhe found it difficult to accept the request made by 'Giant Game' when he first heard it.

No deposit? I invested the cost and started to work. When the time comes, you say no, then you don’t want it. What should I do? Even if there is a contract, just wrangling may be a lot of trouble at that time.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in any industry.

But Fan Zhe's bargaining power in this matter is too low.

He is a purely personal project, and there is no reliable company to endorse it; at the same time, he has no past works that can be sold to reassure others. These two points alone are actually fatal. In fact, if it wasn't for his little reputation in the game art industry earlier, and Lu Yuxiang can be regarded as a relatively reliable intermediary in the industry, this project really wouldn't be able to win.

The most important thing is that he is very short of money now. In the case of an urgent need for a sum of money to ease the debt pressure, he has few options.

Considering that 'Giant Games' is relatively well-known in the industry and among independent manufacturers, and has a good reputation, Fan Zhe decided to take a gamble.

After the difficult period at the beginning of the career has passed, it will never be the case in the future.

Moreover, even if the other party really breaches the contract, Fan Zhe's loss will not be too great - he is not an ordinary animation and special effects company. Using the 'dimension', the cost of making a short film will be as low as anyone can imagine. not reach the point.

...

Lao Lu was still very reliable. In the afternoon, a contract and a supplementary agreement were sent over.

There is no need to talk about the contract, but the supplementary agreement clearly states the requirements of the 'Giant God Game' for the various technical indicators of the short film produced by Fan Zhe. As long as these requirements are met, the 'Giant God Game' has no reason to delay the payment issued.

After looking around, the requirements are not high, and it is completely expected.

Print it, sign the contract, and mail it back to Lu Yuxiang, the matter is basically settled.

The matter of the agreement was a bit of a toss, but in fact it did not have much impact on Fan Zhe's actual work.

At this moment, he has roughly completed the conceptual design of the entire short film.

In the evening, he called Mi Le to confirm that the old subordinate had returned to China. After arriving at Sheng Hai's home, he sent over the concept design and detailed design requirements for some original paintings.

This set of pictures adopts a European-style fantasy and realistic style. In terms of character proportions and costume design, while maintaining a certain fantasy flavor, it must be realistic enough.

In fact, if possible, he hopes that the two of them can cooperate face to face again. However, in his current situation, he couldn't afford to support Mi Le. A mature original artist, if Mi Le went out to find a job by himself, his annual salary would be at least 200,000 yuan, which Fan Zhe could not afford for the time being.

In this cooperation, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not talk about money. Mi Le trusted his old boss very much, and Fan Zhe had to wait for the project to be settled before considering paying Mi Le according to the work content or working hours.

At this point, the preparatory work is basically completed, and Fan Zhe began to devote himself to the work of forgetting emotion.

In the first week after the project started, the 'dimension' was basically not used much. The main work of Fan Zhe and Miller is still in the initial design work.

According to the concept drawings made in the early stage, Fan Zhe himself completed several original paintings of the scene within a week.

This work efficiency is almost his fastest in the past few years. Apart from eating, sleeping, and coping with his parents coming in from time to time and nagging him about his marital problems, he did nothing, all his mind was devoted to this matter.

Games, movies, novels...these were almost life-like things for Fan Zhe in the past, and he didn't touch them during this time.

Man, sometimes you just need a fire in the back of your ass to run faster.

The scene he painted is basically a western-style castle under the moonlight. The dark and stormy atmosphere fits the style of the game "Assassination Squad" very well. The basic scenes include a castle vestibule, a Gothic castle hall, plus a few places like castle balconies and paths.

After the original painting of the scene was completed, Fan Zhe immediately called up the 'dimension' and imported the original painting of the scene without stopping.

The design of the original painting has not been completed, but according to the characteristics of the 'dimension' system, there is no need for Fan Zhe to wait until all the designs are completed before starting the next step.

Although there are some risks in this way, for example, if the design style needs to be adjusted later, or if you are not satisfied with certain places and need to modify it again, then since it has entered the "dimensional calculus", it has not been modified. room for it.

According to the formal and rigorous workflow, this should not be done.

But there is no way to meet the deadline.

The 'dimension' system has started to work, and according to the concept design and scene design given by Fan Zhe, the related 3D animation has started.

Watching the progress bar advance slowly, the entire computer also got stuck to a certain level.

Basically all the computing power of this computer has been called up by 'Dimension'. Fan Zhe could only put this machine aside for the first time, and use another machine to continue painting.

In addition to the machine he brought back at home, there is another one, which is his father's broken desktop. This machine was bought by Fan Zhe a few years ago for his father to watch movies on the Internet. The configuration is not high, and it can barely be used for painting.

After all, it was necessary for work, so he honestly moved the computer from his parents' bedroom to his own room.

Now, the work on the scene is basically done, and the rest is the character.
