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 21 The talks broke down?

The two helped each other adjust their clothes to look more formal, and then walked into the Eagle Foot Building.

At the moment, Eagle Foot is still under the control of Sea Cat. Therefore, they took advantage of the opportunity before investors intervened in Eagle Foot to facilitate this matter. Sea Cat, who founded Eagle Foot out of a dream, agreed to Luo Bo's whimsical idea. Success or failure, it was all a chance to connect with fellow enthusiasts.

They sat down in the Eagle Foot reception room and began to drink the tea brought by the front desk. Su Ying was also very excited at this time. Seeing this, Luo Bo patted her on the back and asked her to relax a little.

Soon, Haimao, who had taken some time off, came to the reception room, and Luo Bo hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Umineko, I've heard a lot about you. I'm a loyal fan of your games."

Haimao's expressionless face also improved a lot. He forced a smile and said, "Hello Mulebo, I have also watched your videos. Thank you for your support of Eagle Foot Network and thank you for promoting Arknights."

After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down opposite each other. He looked back at Su Ying, who fortunately hadn't fainted. She was just staring at him with shining eyes like a star-chaser.

After settling in, they got straight to the point. After all, it was a waste of time for the other party to take the time to come. A new event was about to start, and Eagle Foot Network was working overtime to update the content and conduct final internal testing.

He patted the stunned Su Ying, took the document from her hand and handed it to her.

Haimao was also being business-minded and looked at the documents carefully.

After a long time, he looked up and asked in shock: "You said you want to personally produce an Arknights animated film?"

"Yes, I like this game, including the plot and the characters. Moreover, I have already created a studio and started." Luo Bo was also talking nonsense, and the last sentence was of course false.

A complete animated film, from the script and plot to the original character drawings, and then a series of things afterwards, is simply not something that one person can handle.

Haimao shook his head and said in denial, "It's a great dream, but I don't think you can succeed. Besides, I've gotten to know you before, a recent college graduate. Even if we collaborate, we need to consider the benefits and returns. Otherwise, the value of the Arknights IP will be wasted, and that's unacceptable to me."

Luo Bo also understood that with Arknights now a huge hit, Umineko couldn't afford to jeopardize their established reputation by giving up their first animated adaptation rights. Furthermore, they weren't an established studio, and no one would take the risk of handing over their first title solely under the guise of a dream.

Fortunately, he brought some food with him. Luo Bo opened his handbag and took out his laptop.

After opening the interface and clicking on a video, Luo Bo turned to face Haimao.

Umineko understood the intention and wanted to see if the actual level of animation could convince him.

It starts with Luo Bo's personal portrait and the studio's logo, and then the animation begins.

It begins with the sound of the sea, and as the perspective moves upwards with a pair of black boots, Skadi walks from the beach towards the land.

Passing through the Gobi Desert, the camera finally switches to Rhodes Island's ships.

Although Robo knew about Skadi's future plot, the animation didn't include any of that. The physical exams and training routines on Rhodes Island, and then Warfarin's conspiracy against Skadi in Trust...

The entire short film introduces Skadi's animation, but there is no voiceover, only narration and environmental sounds and background music. The entire short film is only five minutes long, and the rendering and rhythm are fully displayed.

After watching it, Umineko frowned, covered his mouth and played it again without saying a word.

In fact, the Luo Bo in it refers to the later Hawkfoot's dark series style, and the background music is also a self-synthesized electronic music similar to the style of Tomorrow's Ark. Overall, it is not inferior to the PV they later outsourced, and even has a slightly better character modeling.

After finishing the second round of reading, Haimao asked, "Did you really just graduate?"

Robbo nodded.

"Can I take this video away and discuss it with someone?" To be honest, Haimao was a little tempted.

Currently, we haven't raised any funding. To be honest, Arknights is completely supported by player contributions. Limited by the company's current size, a significant portion of the budget went into the pre-launch previews. And if you look closely, you'll notice that the characters used there were kept as still as possible. Therefore, most of the post-launch event trailers are internally produced PowerPoint presentations.

Therefore, even ambitious sea cats cannot tolerate the imperfections of their own works. At this time, powerful second-tier players have discovered that the popularity of dry picture and text trailers cannot compare to the number of views and reposts of a PV. Moreover, it is easier for excellent videos to go viral than copywriting.

He left the reception room with his computer. Luo Bo also drank his tea calmly.

I am ready to go it alone, and holding on to Eagle Foot Network is equivalent to saving myself ten years of detours.

So Luo Bo also put a lot of effort into making this video, although he made some cuts to save time. However, in the current network environment, 1080p is already the best in the industry.

Su Ying, looking at the calm Luo Bo, couldn't help but whisper, "You're amazing, aren't you? How come the animation you created by one person is better than those produced by many big companies?"

Luo Bo couldn't help but complain in his heart: Nonsense, I have been working in this field for ten years in my previous life, so it is not difficult for me to make a small animation now.

As for why big companies perform poorly, we can only say that one relies on videos to make a living, and the other relies on videos to cheat people out of money.

After a while, three people walked in.
