"Someone knows some versatile and can control various styles, especially the grand epic style, which is good at using various musical instruments in the East and the West. It is best to have a little younger talented player who is not very expensive, and to cultivate a little more potential, but is still a wild music producer with a certain reputation? It is okay to focus on games, animation, film and television, and it is best to be able to produce some sound effects, imitation, etc."

Lu Qi sent such a message in several planning TT groups, asking for recommendation.

The conditions are still harsh and complicated. There are many keywords in one sentence, which makes people really understand them after reading them several times.

But the core idea is still clear, and I want to recruit music producers.

Lu Qi just asked casually anyway. In addition to this group, he also asked many other places. He also searched for music UP owners on various game music forums and video websites in China. He had heard of some works and temporarily locked in several targets.

He doesn't know much about the current situation in the field of game music production, so it doesn't hurt to ask others more.

I remember that I had added several game planning groups before. When I first entered the industry, he urgently wanted to see how old planners exchange design experiences and how they learn to improve themselves.

I basically didn't say anything when I added it. Anyway, when I remember it when I have time, I open the chat history and take a look.

Then he found that there were not many people talking about serious matters, and he had never even seen anyone in it talk about system design. It was not easy to see some market trends and player attributes.

More about gossip.

What Qinghuo has paid another 10-month year-end bonus this year? Two employees in Huanshi were in love late at night but couldn't stop being treated. They were photographed by the camera and fired. Whose studio was acquired by Tianhai again, and the boss suddenly got 300 million yuan.

Or just talk about playing games and make an appointment to play in "The Holy Battlefield".

Later, Lu Qi didn't pay much attention.

This kind of planning group requires everyone to change their own group business card.

Generally, it is [year of employment - company name - own name]. Anyway, the more famous the company, the more it has, the more it has in the group, and it is the same everywhere.

Lu Qi also went from the beginning [0-Tianzhu-Lu Qi] to the later [1-Magic Core-Lu Qi], to the current [2-42-Lu Qi].

And this name is now admired by people in those groups.

A group inexplicably appointed him as an administrator, which is also an operation for the group leader to improve the image and style of the group.

He said this and the group immediately exploded.

In fact, the most common groups in this kind of group are basically ordinary planning by various companies. There may be a few who have higher years of experience in doing the main plan and producers, but they are not famous big projects and cannot affect the industry structure.

It is definitely difficult for them to get in touch with Lu Qi on weekdays.

"It's really Mr. Lu?"

"I didn't expect to see a living person."

"In addition to musical sound effects, Mr. Lu also recruits planning?"

Lu Qi is not a socially anxious person. He can be neither humble nor arrogant when talking to anyone face to face. However, when facing such occasions, a bunch of people follow him and praise him, and he really doesn't know what to say.

"Thank you everyone, I just want to form a music sound effects department."

"Have Mr. Lu visited the GameMusic forum?" Someone made a suggestion.

"Go to see it."

“Where is the Conservatory of Music?”

"Ask some teachers."

"Have a small competition to choose?"

“This is a good idea.”

It is indeed a good idea. Lu Qi himself hasn't even thought about this path. It actually doesn't cost much to hold a small theme composition online selection competition. It's also good to set up some prizes and give a first prize of 42 employees.

If some excellent works can emerge, you can even pay for money and buy out the right to use from the contestants.

It's really good, there are many people and great power.

The group members are still very enthusiastic and are all helping out suggestions.

Lu Qi also had a good chat with everyone in the group, mainly because others asked questions and answered them, just like interviews.

After a while, someone suddenly asked, "Can I?"

Lu Qi looked at his group business card, 3-Gu Yichen, but there was no company name prefix.

Gu Yichen said again: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I am also an independent game developer on Marge. I graduated from Huangpu Conservatory of Music. I can make music."

Then he waited nervously for Lu Qi's reply.

Before, he had been scrolling at the waterfall-like text in the group for a while, watching Lu Qi chat with other members of the group. He understood Lu Qi's demands and was hesitant to recommend himself, thinking that the opportunity would be fought for by himself.

He is actually a part-time game practitioner. His main job is to produce music, lyrics and songwriting, recording, tune and mix and post-synthesis for some singers.

Of course, they are not singers in the traditional sense. There are only some Internet celebrities who write some saliva songs that are completely filled with slutty, without any technical content. The main goal of creation is to be catchy and climax.

Sometimes I will take on some outsourcing of the soundtracks of film and television dramas, and they are shoddy online dramas and cannot encounter real good projects.

This is a great opportunity for him to really enter the gaming industry.

Gu Yichen actually has a wealthy family and is not short of money. His parents are both teachers at Huangpu Conservatory of Music, with strict tutoring, and grew up in school since childhood, and they are all influenced by art.

But the more likely you grow up in a high-pressure environment, the more likely you are to develop rebellion, and your love for games is far more than music.

Later, some game engines targeting inexperienced or amateur developers, which are less difficult to get started, such as RPGMaker, appeared and became popular.

With the rise of platforms like Marge.

This has greatly lowered the entry threshold for the game development industry. Most people, as long as you are willing to invest time, can basically make a game of your own.

Gu Yichen is one of them, and it has been three years since he started making his first game.

During this period, he released three independent games made by RPGMaker on Marge, all of which are free, and even went to forums like National Games to publish resources. It doesn’t matter how much it sold. If he plays one more person, he will think that this trip is worth it.

If there is a player comment, he can even send a private message to find the player and chat with him for a long time, asking him what he thinks about the game and whether he likes the experience inside.

This made the player secretly swear that he would never leave any messages under any game in this studio again.

Joining this group was originally intended to be the same as Lu Qi.

When Lu Qi visited the music forum before, he had received a lot of works, and they were all handed over to Cheng Ming to filter them first and then send them to him.

But the identity indicated by the other person... I found a music producer and found a game producer. This kind of experience is quite rare.

Lu Qi asked: "Can I experience your works first?"

"Of course, of course, you can just search "Saturn's Rings" on Marge. You can just listen to music by directly introducing the video. All the content is done by myself."

What is included in the promotional video must be the most satisfying part of Gu Yichen himself.

"Okay, then wait."

Lu Qi immediately opened Marge and found the game "Rings of Saturn". The preview screen was very obvious. A game made by RPGMaker, such a game can add more than ten new games a day on the Marge platform.

Half a year ago, I looked at the player comments again. There were only 16 comments in total, all of which were in Chinese.

The main meaning of the story is that the story goes around and doesn't know what it means, the plot is dull and the rhythm is slow, and the playability is almost zero, but the music is not bad. It is recommended that producers develop into the music industry.

Seeing such an evaluation, Lu Qi was almost a little confused. He would not waste his time after spending a few minutes.

He clicked on the preview video and focused on the music.

This is a pure piece of music, mainly a guitar solo, a very obvious classical guitar. Moreover, Lu Qi, a person who does not have a deep understanding of musical instruments, can also hear it as a record rather than a digital synthesis.

Because he could hear the noise of the slippery strings in some places, this noise deepened the sense of immersion and brought Lu Qi into the emotions expressed in the music.

This song without a name gradually became sad afterwards.

Lu Qi looked at the two vague villains in the video of the introduction. He had never heard of this game and could almost make up for the plot of this game.

It is obviously a tragic but literary and sour love game.

The key is that it is not a GAL, but an RPG. The mass base is already narrow. If the literary and teenager still gets sick, it will be really not easy to save it.

Lu Qi could almost see the male and female protagonists standing in the sunset and waving goodbye, wanting to say goodbye, and clarifying the emotions in his heart, but there is nothing that can't get rid of. How many people want to play this kind of thing in RPG?

However, if you only talk about music, Lu Qi did hear a helplessness that could only go with the flow, a layer of diaphragm that could not be broken, and a door that could not be opened.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable, and his empathy ability is still strong.

Lu Qi immediately chatted with Gu Yichen privately: "Do you have any other works? Just the magnificent epic I just mentioned in the group."

Gu Yichen replied quickly: "This is not available yet, but I can do it immediately!"

Lu Qi asked: "How long will it take?"

"Mr. Lu, please give me a question."

Lu Qi thought for a while and said, "Is this OK for the tragic cycle that cannot be escaped for thousands of years?"

"Can you please chat with me in three hours? I'll do a DEMO first."

"So fast?"

"It's very simple DEMO, you can listen to it for a rough idea."

"Okay, you can send me it right then."
Chapter completed!
