Rebirth as an Arknights UP Master, Then Becoming a God

After graduating for ten years, Luo Bo drifted through countless companies, yet remained a failure.

An unexpected event sent him back to that crossroad of graduation choices...

Luo Bo: ...

Chapter 109: Eternal Calamity

"What did you say? Naraka: Bladepoint wants us to do the promotional CG?" Luo Bo also jumped up when he heard the news.

It's no wonder that Luo Bo was so shocked. The main reason was that such a big company, with no relationship at all, why would they consider a newbie like him?

Mixian was also confused. No matter how well-connected he was, he couldn't possibly get in touch with a major console gaming company like this. But he still handed over the official letter, as if this was a legitimate deal.

Although he had never played this game, Luo Bo had heard of it. It was a game promoted by CCTV, and it seemed a bit too much for him to get involved in such a big production at his level.

Staring at the official letter in his hand and the clear stamp on it, it didn't look like a prank. With both of them present, Luo Bo picked up the landline phone and dialed the contact number on it.

After some discussion, it turned out to be true. Luo Bo sat down and took a long time to calm down. After his mind took over again, he realized that this might be the opponent's strategy of killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking about this, he quickly sent a team to contact the other party. This kind of opportunity is rare, and it must be finalized as soon as possible. The other party didn't know how popular his game would be in the future, but Luo Bo knew.

I recently heard that some streamers in the industry had received promotional orders for game trials, and Luo Bo was wondering why he hadn't received any. But this turned out to be a surprise, no, a shock.

The promotional CG for console games is naturally not as rough as that for mobile games. The other party is not in a hurry now. The internal cutscenes used in the game before can temporarily support the promotion for a few days, but after the official release, there should always be a small story CG that can better bring people into the game world.

I had certainly worked on CG for large-scale games in my past life, so I had some experience there. But that was in my past life, not now.

ChatGPT is still over a year away from launch, and the animation industry's auxiliary AI is still two years away. Even if my small company urgently expanded its staff five or six times, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to do it.

The pixels of console game CG are generally several orders of magnitude higher than those of mobile phones. Mobile games can still be fooled with 30 frames, but computers have to double that.

Moreover, the models inside must be much more detailed so that they will not look blurry later.

"How about we postpone it? With the current staffing, we won't be able to finish it in about 50 days." Mi Xian knew that this kind of thing could not be made in the previous handmade workshop.

Even though I made the movie myself, and the other party thought I could get some big work, I knew exactly how I made it. I had been working on it for over a year with my studio staff, and I had outsourced a lot of it.

If I didn't have rich experience and control over the details, the money I threw away would be no less than what I would have spent on developing the game.

Cuoyahuazi took stock of the people in his team and it seemed that they could get it done in a shorter time.

After quietly explaining some precautions, the team, which had just been formed a few days ago, went straight to NetEase.

After the matter was concluded, Luo Bo also lay down to rest. The transformation from a studio to a company not only meant an increase in the number of people, but also a lot more work and responsibilities.

As the new company grew bigger, Luo Bo was still thinking about where to get his business. Unexpectedly, the works of his previous studio still attracted the attention of many interested people.

The official website was built in the past few days, and people were asked to put up the better works from the previous studio, which can be regarded as an advertisement.

The live broadcast room is now broadcasting when there is time, and naturally it will be postponed if it is not available. The summer event has not yet started, and the anniversary celebration has just passed, so the broadcast time is also very short.

It is worth mentioning that Bizhan also sent people to attend Luo Bo’s company opening ceremony. Perhaps because of Mr. Lei’s face, the live broadcast contract was terminated directly.

Besides the platform's cut of the video revenue, all the livestreaming revenue went directly to Luobo. This was also a gesture of goodwill; perhaps one day, Bizhan might need to work with Luobo again, so there was no need to lose face for a few small gains.

With the help of Mixian, we were able to close the deal with Naraka: Bladepoint. However, the graphics quality was required to be at the original level, which was a bit of a hassle.

But with NetEase as its backer, the other studio was also wealthy and gave a lot of budget. Luo Bo naturally had to do it for the sake of the God of Wealth.

The first big business was received after the opening, and the company’s first meeting also began.

Sitting in the main seat in the conference room and looking at the people below, my heart is full of energy.

"Some of you may not know me, but I am the boss of the company. We will be working together in the future, and I hope that everyone will work towards the goal together." After finishing the official rhetoric, the uncomfortable Luo Bo also picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water. It was hot and he made iced mung bean soup, which was refreshing and cooling.

Aside from the department heads, it was the first time for everyone else to see Luo Bo. Some were surprised by his youth, while others were curious.

The first meeting naturally required all departments to get to know each other. After Luo Bo finished speaking, Mixian followed suit and began to introduce himself, followed by the self-introductions of the heads of each department.

Luo Bo, seated at the head of the table, surveyed the talent Lin Jie and Mixian had brought in, along with the few sent by CEO Lei. Each one's resume naturally boasted at least several years of experience at a major company, and the individuals in charge had typically overseen the core business of several companies.

They nodded in satisfaction, and after the introduction, everyone had a clear understanding of the company's people. Mixian and Luo Bo naturally didn't need such a detailed introduction. Just the fact that they had made a movie that grossed over a billion yuan was enough to make them top-tier figures in the country.

Before arriving, they naturally checked what the company founders did. After all, it was in the internet industry, and who would waste their youth and retirement without some real talent? The results were shocking. While Mi Xian was a bit inferior, he was still a master's degree holder from a prestigious foreign university, a bona fide overseas student. His resume within the past six years of returning to China alone surpassed most of the people present.

Luo Bo's resume was a bit scary. He was an ordinary college student, but after only two years of graduation, his work was already something that many people could never achieve in their entire lives. This shocked everyone.

In addition, with the investment from Boss Lei, everyone immediately started working, fearing that they would miss out on such a good opportunity.

"The predecessor of the company produced..." After finishing, Mi Xian also mentioned the first business after the establishment of the company, and everyone listened attentively.

Many of the people signed by Luo Bo have performance-based contracts. If they work well, they get more, and if they don't, they get less.

Anyway, the platform has been set up, and their performance will determine their income.

You can clock in at irregular times, arrange your 20 working days per month at will, and receive project bonuses, of course. There are also other free food and drinks, but accommodation is not provided, and all other necessary holidays are naturally complete.

After the project is completed, you can also go on team building trips, project holidays, etc. In this case, it depends on how well they do. Although this project is expedited, I believe they can understand the company's difficulties.

Luo Bo had worked for decades in his previous life, but he knew full well that if the compensation was adequate, many people would consider the company their home. Good jobs are always filled when there's one missing. The conditions and compensation he was offering now were already at the top of the industry, and he trusted them to work hard.
