Chapter 20： Crew ready, production begins

  Chapter 20 Staff is in place, production begins

  Recruitment work is in progress.

   It is now the beginning of May, and there are still a lot of people looking for jobs online.

  By taking advantage of the wide popularity of "Dark Forest", Meng Shu received a large number of resumes and inquiries in just three days.

   He had to temporarily abandon the final chapter he was developing and start screening these resumes.

   Some of them even took the initiative to call him to make an appointment for an interview.

   But soon, after screening, he selected some more suitable job applicants and sent them a notice.

   It turned out that there were still some people in this group who forged their resumes and boasted too much.

For example, a 28-year-old man said that he has nearly 6 years of work experience, and his portfolio looks quite good, but the actual practice on the spot is delayed. He can't even draw the simplest pictures well, and the perspective relationship is also wrong. I don't know. Is it a question of whether there is pressure in the actual operation? In short, he was not admitted.

   For example, a 23-year-old girl, who has been working for 21 years, has 3 years of work experience by 22 years?

  After asking, I realized that the customer service work that was not suitable for the university internship period was also counted.

   What’s more, he asked for a lot of money. He said that the monthly salary was 2.5 W. He seemed very capable. When he asked the reason for leaving, he quarreled with the supervisor.

   There are also complaints that Party A raises demands without knowing the fart, and then leaves in displeasure.

  In short, there are various reasons.

  Although the art positions he recruits are based on professional skills, it does not mean that he will recruit people who leave easily and are not easy to get along with.

  So another large number of job applicants were screened.

   But fortunately, after about a week, Meng Shu still recruited the right person.

  3D modeler, Qiu Yuan, male, 28 years old.

With 6 years of work experience, I worked in an e-commerce company for the first 2 years, so part of my works are various products, and the last 4 years I focused on modeling game characters. The design is almost the same as the original painting shape, and the technology can be said to be quite powerful!

  Scene designer, Xia Nianzhen, female, 24 years old.

2 years of work experience. I worked in a mobile game company and improved my level as soon as I graduated from university. I have never skipped the trough. I am very proficient in using various software. His works have various styles, but due to mobile game problems, the quality is not high. , but it can be seen that there is still a certain level, but the platform limits her.

   Animator Xu Hong, male, 29 years old.

With 6 years of work experience, he is very good at correcting body movements and facial expressions produced by motion capture equipment. He once worked in a well-known domestic game company and participated in action guidance. With experience in this area, the well-known RPG game "Magic Knight" a few years ago "The first BOSS Colossus Patronus is an action designed by him, which brings players a good fighting experience.

  Finally, Sister Mei, 39 years old, has rich experience. There is nothing to say about this.

  Due to the small size of the company and the tight schedule, these four are the only ones to be recruited at present, and the others are not needed for the time being.

  After this matter was completed, Meng Shu directly removed the job advertisement.

   Now, three weeks before a month, he has to start VR game development immediately!

  So, he called the three new employees together for a simple meeting, told some of the process of the VR game, and assigned their respective tasks.

  At this time, Meng Shu was sitting at the head of the small conference room, using a laptop to explain the concept design PPT of "Blackjack".

"First of all, our game scene is not big. It is almost a small black room. You can refer to our meeting room. We don't need other extra items to pile up. As long as it is consistent with the concept scene on the PPT, can you understand? Nian Zhen?"

  Meng Shu raised his head and looked at Xia Nianzhen.

   This girl who was the same age as him was concentrating on taking notes at this time. She looked very quiet and elegant with black long straight round eyes. After hearing the question, she froze for a moment and immediately nodded in response.

   "I understand, the PPT is already very clear, Mr. Meng, I can do it, and I will try my best to restore it!"

  Meng Shu nodded and turned to the next page to continue explaining.

"Qiu Yuan, your workload is relatively heavy. This is a VR game, and there are many items and props in it. Except that the protagonist controlled by the player only needs to have one pair of hands, all other necessary things will be available, so you will have a harder time later. .”

   Qiu Yuan nodded seriously when he heard the words.

  At the age of 28, he is no longer the same as when he first came out of society. For his industry, working overtime is commonplace, and he has no objections for a long time.

   And the moment he saw the PPT, he knew what he should do.

  At the same time, I have to admire the boss in front of me, who is 4 years younger than him, for making the concept design of more than 100 pages by himself.

  It also includes character image design, scene design, plot design, gameplay design, style design, prop design and multi-angle display of items, etc.

   Sure enough, he deserves to be the person who can make "Dark Forest"!

   One person is a team!

   "Don't worry, Mr. Meng, it may be a little too much, but it is not difficult. There is already a conceptual design in front of me, and I will make it."

   "That's good, I'll trouble you."

  Meng Shu turned a few more pages and came to the characters' actions.

"Our company has purchased the best motion capture equipment currently on the market, and vacated a room as a shooting location, but because the company is relatively small, and there are only a few of you as employees, so when you need action shooting in the future, I hope You can help out in advance. In this regard, Xu Hong will guide everyone."

   Then, he looked at Xu Hong.

   "Xu Hong, just like I said, this game only requires the movements of three people, and they are all small movements. There is no such a large swing, and even a face model is not needed."

  Xu Hong looked at the projection screen and nodded.

   "I understand Mr. Meng, but the character named Lucas showed his face on the PPT. Are we going to make a mask to block it later?"

  Meng Shu glanced at the PPT and smiled.

  In the original game, this perverted murderer Lucas can be said to have an evil look on his face.

  In the game, players can also see his unbeatable appearance through the TV.

   However, the face model in the original game is a foreigner, and the system did not give him this material.

  If it is the same as before, then you need to find a face model actor, and then replace it with Lucas's face.

   But limited by the time period, Meng Shu thought for a long time and decided to cancel the face model and let Lucas appear in the form of a mask.

  After all, the players in this world don’t know about “Resident Evil 7”, nor about the plot, and they don’t even know how bad Lucas is.

  Instead of putting him out without an introduction and letting players forcefully accept the setting, it’s better and easier to just put on a mask and say he’s a killer.

   "Yes, put a mask on him directly. But the mask needs to be designed, and I will draw a design draft for Qiu Yuan later."

  The two nodded, thinking to understand.

  Meng Shu flipped through the PPT, and then found that everything that should be said was almost covered, so he finally summarized and emphasized.

  “The company has just been established and is immature in all aspects. I hope everyone can understand.”

"However, I don't want to fill you with chicken soup and draw big cakes. Your salary and commission benefits are as stated in the contract, and there will be no less, but if you want to get more on this basis, No problem. In a word, those who are capable live in it, and they can get it by their own abilities."

   "So, if you come here, you will be safe. You do things, I will pay you, and everyone will be happy and make this VR project a success."

   "Maybe some of you may doubt whether VR games can be made, or whether they can be done well. After all, large foreign companies can't do it well. Can our newly established small company do it?"

   "Here, I can tell everyone that it can! As long as everyone does their job well, unite and work hard, and work hard, there will definitely be results!"

  “When the VR game comes out, the sense of accomplishment recognized by the players is not just for me, but for everyone!”

   "So, work hard, unite as one, complete this project together, and let the market witness the capabilities of our small team!"

"OK!?"

  The three of them looked at each other, a little at a loss, but seeing the confident smile of the young boss in front of them, as if things were under control, their expressions immediately became serious.

  So they nodded together and spoke in unison.

"good!"
