My Animation Era

  Chapter 1019 Colorful Centipede Essence

  The production of the animation "Yangcun Guardian" has no time limit, and it stands to reason that the progress will be slower than expected.

But in fact…

  Since the last time Gu Miao held a meeting and said that he would fire some people who were fishing for money, the production team worked with great enthusiasm, and the progress was more than twice as fast as planned!

   He can't fix it all.

  When there is a time limit for the construction, one by one is delayed, and it is absolutely impossible to finish ahead of schedule before the specified time.

   It turned out that there was no time limit this time, but the work was done faster than usual, and the quality of the material was better than usual.

This shows what?

  It shows that in order to keep their jobs and avoid being the target of the company's layoffs, it is really hard to go to work.

   "It's a good thing to have a sense of crisis!"

  Lao Zhang said with a smile: "A very interesting fact is that the working attitude of employees before and after layoffs is completely turned upside down."

  Wanbao has never laid off employees before, so many employees have the idea of ​​muddling along, going to work just to dawdle, and they are definitely black sheep.

  Since Wanbao started to lay off more than 200 employees in one go, it is obvious that the atmosphere of the company has improved a lot.

The **** who usually goes to work is depressed, picks up his mobile phone to check the time from time to time, thinks about what to eat after get off work, and now has a more correct attitude, for fear that he will be included in the layoff list and lose this in the eyes of relatives and friends. decent work.

   "It's overdue."

  Gu Miao said angrily: "In the past, the company's development was too fast and the talent pool couldn't keep up. That's why we tried our best to recruit people, and we never refused."

  What's the situation now?

   Wanbao's talent pool has already kept up with the company's development speed, and even overflowed.

  In this case, it is natural to change the strategy from "no rejection" to "merit-based admission".

   "Tell the HR department to set the threshold for recruiting agencies higher, and don't recruit everyone."

   Speaking of this, Gu Miao was also full of anger.

   I don’t know who made the wild list, but it actually said that Wanbao Animation is one of the companies with the lowest average education background in the domestic animation industry.

   Isn’t this pure nonsense?

  The source of his data is completely estimated according to the "recruitment standards" of major companies, but how big is Wanbao? Can the employment standard be the same as that of a small workshop?

   But one thing is true.

   There are too many people in Wanbao, and a large number of animation professionals have gathered. Among them, good and bad are mixed, and some people are indeed holding back.

  What Gu Miao needs to do now is not to expand blindly, but to rectify the personnel administration, eliminate those people who are fake in the company, and improve the work efficiency of each studio.

  Wolf Castle Studio is particularly important.

  As an independent studio under Wanbao Animation with the largest number of core employees and the largest scale, the chaos in Wolfsburg Studio has long been known to everyone.

  A team of nearly 500 people is too big to be honest.

   Dismembering Wolf Castle Studio and optimizing staffing has become the consensus of Wanbao Animation's senior management.

  Wanbao's current staffing is awkward. An ace team such as Wolf Castle Studio has a total of nearly 500 people, while a fringe team like Puppet Studio has only more than 30 people.

  Lightning Studio has experienced several rounds of personnel transfers, project failures and budget cuts, and now there are only 18 core members left.

  How can this work?

  …

  Optimizing the company's staffing and dismembering the largest and most bloated Wolf Castle studio became one of the most important tasks of Wanbao Animation in April.

  There is an old saying in the circle that personnel changes will inevitably affect animation projects in production.

  In order to reduce the impact as much as possible and reduce the interference with each animation project, Gu Miao and Lao Zhang thought of a way.

  Assuming that employee A is participating in the production of a certain animation project, wait for his project to end before executing the personnel transfer order.

for example.

  The fifth season of "Things That Rabbit That Year" is currently in production. According to the project ownership, this is also a project of Wolf Castle Studio.

  But half of the production team has already decided to transfer to Lightning Studio.

  Then their current project will not be affected, they can do what they want to do, and report to whoever they should report to, and they will make transfers after the animation is broadcast online.

  Most of the personnel transfers will take the second half of the year to produce results, so there is no impact now.

   After all, in April, apart from "Calabash Brothers", Wanbao has no other animation confirmed to be broadcast.

   "Calabash Brothers" is a TV animation that started preparations last year. It is produced by Puppet Studio and Meiying Studio, with a total of 26 episodes.

Yes!

   There are 26 episodes in the Wanbao version of Cucurbita.

  Originally, he planned to make a 52-episode feature-length animation, but Liang Xiaodong said that he really couldn’t do it. The workload of 26 episodes alone made him exhausted, and he might lose his life if there were more than 20 episodes.

  This is the truth.

   Gu Miao probably wouldn't believe what others said about how hard and difficult his animation was, but Liang Xiaodong absolutely believed what he said.

   After all, "Calabash Brothers" is a paper-cut animation!

   Can this workload be compared with ordinary animation? To be honest, paper-cutting is still an intangible cultural heritage. How can it be as easy to do as imagined?

  Episode 26 is also pretty good.

  In these 26 episodes of animation, the plot is mainly divided into two chapters. The first chapter is the most familiar scorpion spirit and snake spirit.

  The second chapter tells the story of the seven brothers who, after destroying the snake essence and the scorpion essence, accidentally discovered that the scorpion essence also had a sworn brother, the colorful centipede essence.

   When the colorful centipede learned that his good brother was wiped out by the gourd baby, he was immediately enraged, and came to capture grandpa and the pangolin to vent his anger in a gust of evil wind.

  Brother Calabash learned that Grandpa was captured by Jing Jing, and immediately set off to Qianzu Mountain, the nest of Jing Jing, to rescue Grandpa, so a new adventure began...

  The setting of colorful centipede is actually an idea provided by Gu Miao.

  He said that if the scorpion essence has a sworn brother, it must be a creature like a centipede or a spider, which are also poisonous.

   It can’t be a cockroach, can it?

  As for tigers, lions, jackals and other animals becoming spirits, it seems unlikely that they will get mixed up with scorpion spirits.

  After Liang Xiaodong heard his complaints, he immediately decided to make a colorful centipede essence to reflect the gold content of "Poison Brother".

   Not to mention...

  Colorful centipede spirit is very powerful. He has a magical baby fan, which can fan the flat ground to create a strong wind, and then fan the sky to make hail.

  Centipede is the main villain in episodes 14-26 of "The Calabash Brothers". He is very cunning and insidious, and almost wiped out the Calabash Brothers.

  Why do you say almost?

  Because of the villain, he is always short of breath, and can always leave the protagonist with the possibility of a comeback in a desperate situation.

  If the Calabash Brothers wiped out the whole group in one go, how will the plot continue in the future?
