My Animation Era

  Chapter 41 Recruiting Colleagues

   Ma Kui wanted to confirm his status as a "relative of the emperor", but Gu Miao didn't give him this opportunity.

  The reason...

  When Gu Miao added the so-called "cousin" WeChat and couldn't wait to start a video call, but saw a face that couldn't even fit on the screen, he fell silent.

   Gan!

   He shouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts about Ma Kui's cousin. Is this a weight he can bear at his age?

   Still the new Vice President Jiang is eye-catching!

  Vice President Jiang's real name is Jiang Keke, and his English name is Coco. He is a high-achieving student who has returned from studying abroad. He is three years older than Gu Miao. She was the candidate recommended to Gu Miao by the headhunting company, and after passing the interview, she became the executive vice president of Wanbao Group.

  This person is capable.

  Based on her resume, she should have looked down upon a start-up company like Wanbao. But her family is in Jiangchuan, and she likes animation very much, so she accepted the headhunting company's invitation.

  Gu Miao handed over the personnel management to her.

  Although Wanbao Group does not have many industries, only two subsidiaries, Wanbao Toys and Wanbao Animation, the number of employees in these two subsidiaries is quite large.

   Especially toy companies.

  With the continuous expansion of the production line, the total number of employees of Wanbao Toys has exceeded 5,000.

   This is a staggering number.

  Gu Miao's ability is limited, it may be no problem to manage a small team of dozens of people, but with so many people, he is a little dumbfounded.

  With Vice President Jiang and Vice President Ma sharing the management pressure, he can spare enough time to participate in animation production.

  Speaking of...

  The management structure of two subsidiaries with two vice presidents is still a bit too extravagant. In order to make the best use of people, Wanbao Comics and Wanbao Stationery must start their business as soon as possible.

  The stationery company is okay.

  Gu Miao spent several million to buy a small stationery factory in the industrial park that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and that was considered a success.

   Instead, it is a comic company...

   It’s fine if the magazine hasn’t passed the review, and the big deal is to start a “separate edition” in the early stage, or go through the book publishing channel. But the problem now is that a suitable work and a "contracted cartoonist" are required to publish a comic book.

  The work is easy to handle, the ready-made Pleasant Goat animation, just follow the animation.

  But the cartoonist has not been found.

  The well-known cartoonists in China basically have their own "studios", or they have signed contracts with big publishers, so poaching is basically impossible.

   There are a lot of unknown cartoonists, but these people are mixed. Looking for a candidate with good character, ideas and strength is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

   At a loss, Gu Miao was about to contact Ikeda from TBS to find out if there were any suitable cartoonists willing to work in Jiangchuan when she suddenly received a message.

   Ma Kui told him.

  On a doujin exchange website that focuses on film and television animation, a user nicknamed "Nantong" created and serialized a comic work called "Pleasant Goat on the Bite of the Tongue".

   This comic is not low in popularity.

  The story of Big Big Wolf winning every battle and eating sheep every time made it difficult for some loyal fans of Pleasant Goat to accept, so they reported it to Wanbao Animation.

  After receiving the news, Ma Kui immediately came to ask Gu Miao if he needed to contact a lawyer to warn the fan cartoonist.

   "Warning him for what?"

  Gu Miao pointed to the cartoon picture displayed on the computer screen and said, "This is a talent! Look, he draws quite well..."

  Translation Translation, what is a surprise?

  As the saying goes, there is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. The appearance of this person immediately solved Gu Miao's most troublesome problem.

  Official recruitment of fellow authors is nothing new in the anime circle. Then what "Miss Hui Ye Wants Me to Confess" recruited a fan author, and what the **** is a drawing book...

   Even, not just comics. Those who engage in subtitles, dubbing, and peripherals, as long as they do well, they all have the possibility of being recruited by the government.

   According to the rumors, a certain subtitle group was officially recruited because of "outstanding performance".

   Facts have proved that this approach is feasible.

   "Go and contact this male...Mr. Nantong, and ask him if he would like to come to work in Jiangchuan." Gu Miao ordered.

   "After he joins Wanbao Comics, let him be in charge of the booklet of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" comics. You should discuss with Vice President Jiang in advance about benefits."

   "Alright Mr. Gu."

   Ma Kui was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked, "By the way, what if he doesn't want to come?"

   "That's up to him."

  Gu Miao said viciously: "Like drawing Pleasant Goats on the Tip of the Tongue? You tell him, if you don't come to Jiangchuan, then prepare a new work "Nantong on the Tip of the Tongue"."

   Ma Kui: "..."

  Why is it obviously a threat, but the name sounds weird.

   Is it an illusion? !

  Don’t mention Ma Kui’s wild thoughts, just talk about Nantong’s side, after receiving the invitation from Wanbao Animation, he was very excited.

   Without even asking about the treatment, he agreed without hesitation.

  In the latest chapter of the website update, he mentioned that he was "recruited" and told fans who supported him that "Pleasant Goat on the Bite of the Tongue" will be suspended indefinitely.

   "Teacher Nan Tong, go all the way!"

   "Congratulations on becoming a regular!"

   "Don't! I'm enjoying watching it, so you just give up?"

   "What are you doing! You don't have to paint if you don't want to. There's no need to make up such a lie to deceive us, right?"

  Some people congratulated, while others complained.

   It can be seen that although "Pleasant Goat on the Bite of the Tongue" is only a fan comic, it has already accumulated a group of regular fans due to its excellent quality.

  Many fans expressed regret for the fact that the author was officially included, which led to the indefinite suspension of this fan comic.

  The same goes for Gu Miao.

  In order to learn more about this cartoonist, he stayed up all night and finished reading the entire "Pleasant Goat on the Bite of the Tongue".

   I have to admit that this comic is really good. Based on the original plot of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", it incorporates many popular memes and food elements.

  What a pity for the website launch!

  Gu Miao was thinking, after Nantong joined Wanbao Comic Company, in addition to publishing the comic book "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", should he also make "Pleasant Goat on the Bite of the Tongue" into a booklet?

   It seems to be quite clever.

  After all, most of the readers who intend to buy the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" comic book are animation fans, that is, elementary and middle school students.

  And if "Pleasant Goat on the Bite of the Tongue" can also be published as a comic book, it will not only target elementary and middle school students, but high school students and even college students may be the target readers.

   "That's it!"

   Gu Miao decided: "Wanbao Comic will first produce the comic version of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", and then make this "Pleasant Goat on the Bite of the Tongue", a two-pronged approach."

   Seeking collection monthly ticket support~!
