Capital Gymnasium.

The half-month 2016 Beijing Spring Talent Exchange Conference is being held in this big stadium.

In previous years, the spring and autumn talent exchange meetings in Beijing were held at the Jinghua Convention and Exhibition Center, which is not far from the gymnasium, but because the renovation and expansion project of the convention and exhibition center has not yet been completed, this year's spring talent exchange meeting will temporarily borrow the Capital Gymnasium.

Since 8:30 in the morning, the Capital Gymnasium has been flooded with thousands of job seekers, many of whom are fresh graduates and former graduates of Beijing universities, as well as many seniors who graduated this year, so young people undoubtedly occupy the mainstream of the job seekers.

The employment situation in the capital has become more and more serious in recent years, most of the college students in the capital want to stay, and graduates from other provinces continue to pour into this super metropolis to find opportunities, and it is inevitable that there will be more monks and less porridge.

Duan Hongrui, who was mixed in the crowd, looked at the young people holding resumes around him and felt a lot of pressure.

He has graduated from university for many years, and although he has a wealth of experience, the industry he is engaged in is currently sluggish, and it is not easy to find a suitable job.

A few years ago, with Duan Hongrui's qualifications, it was definitely a high-quality target for headhunting companies, and it was definitely a simple thing to change jobs and change jobs.

However, the industry situation in recent years has been a nightmare for practitioners, including him, and as a result of the drastic policy changes, dozens of related companies collapsed in Beijing last year alone.

This also includes the company where Duan Hongrui works.

Duan Hongrui has worked and lived in the capital for nearly 20 years, and he has bought a house, with a heavy mortgage on his back, and a wife and children to support, he has to submit his resume everywhere, but he runs into walls everywhere.

In desperation, Duan Hongrui ran a talent exchange meeting today to try his luck.

Following the flow of people into the indoor pavilion, a boiling wave of popularity came to his face, and all kinds of noisy sounds hit his eardrums, making the middle-aged man very dazed.

He never thought that he would come to such an occasion, and he didn't know which direction to go.

Bang!

A young man walked quickly, and accidentally collided with Duan Hongrui, who didn't belong to his mind, and the resume information in his hand suddenly scattered.

"I'm sorry!"

The two apologized in unison, both stunned.

"I'll pick it up for you..."

Duan Hongrui, who came to his senses, hurriedly squatted down to help the other party pick up the information.

The young man was in his twenties, wearing glasses and looking delicate, he said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I didn't pay attention just now, I'll come by myself." ”

"It's okay..."

Duan Hongrui squatted on the ground and picked up a few pieces of printer paper, and his eyes were immediately attracted: "Young man, are you doing animation design?"

The paper he picked up was full of anime images, and it was a series of them, as a senior practitioner, he could judge the origin of the other party at a glance: "Which school did you graduate from?"

From Duan Hongrui's point of view, this young man's professional skills are still very solid, and although the anime characters he designed do not have that kind of distinctive characteristics, they also have quite bright spots.

"Zhou Yi..."

He saw the signature on the edge of the corner of the manuscript: "It's a nice design." ”

Zhou Yi, the glasses guy, smiled shyly and said, "Beijing Academy of Arts, I just graduated last year, this big brother, are you also doing animation?

His eyes were sparkling, clearly full of hope.

Duan Hongrui handed the manuscript back to the other party and said with a wry smile: "I ate this bowl of rice, but now I am unemployed." ”

The people who came here were either here to recruit or to apply for jobs, and if it was a few years ago when the company was doing well, Duan Hongrui might really be able to recruit the young man in front of him.

But now, he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river!

"It's too hard to do in this industry now, and a lot of animation production companies have collapsed last year..."

Zhou Yi did not feel disappointed or changed his face, but empathized: "When I first applied for the Beijing Academy of Arts, animation design was still a popular major, but I was unemployed after graduation. ”

His face was also full of helplessness: "Who would have thought that the policy would change so quickly, when I graduated last year, I started a studio with a senior brother, but after three months of work, the group broke up." ”

Duan Hongrui had a relative: "Yes, the policy has become too fast. ”

In the past few years, the state has encouraged the development of animation and launched relevant support policies, so the industry has exploded, animation companies have blossomed everywhere, and there are hundreds of newly opened animation companies and studios in the capital area alone.

However, now that the policy has been tightened, the government's subsidies for the animation industry have been greatly reduced, and the subsidy review has become stricter, and as a result, most of the investors who blindly entered the market have lost all their money.

Of course, there are also people who have taken advantage of the policy to make a big profit, but these speculators have seriously disrupted the market, affected the industry atmosphere, and eventually led to the collapse of the entire industry.

Zhou Yi asked, "Big brother, are you an animator, or a director and producer?"

Duan Hongrui said: "I used to be a marketing director, mainly in planning and marketing..."

The encounter is fate, and they belong to the same industry, although the age and life experience of the two are quite different, but they can be regarded as sympathy, and there is no direct competition, so Duan Hongrui and Zhou Yi walked around the venue together.

The recruiters of the talent exchange meeting are divided into blocks according to different industry types, such as film and television production, entertainment media and other recruitment companies have their own territory, and there are still many units that come to spring recruitment this year.

However, there are very few animation and animation-related companies, Duan Hongrui and Zhou Yi submitted their resumes to the past, and they put them in the plastic basket after a glance: "Go back and wait for the notice." ”

These companies mainly recruit senior animators and directors, Duan Hongrui's qualifications are deep enough, but people don't need them at all, and Zhou Yi is a fledgling novice, so he doesn't meet the requirements.

The relationship between supply and demand in the market has long been reversed.

Duan Hongrui is not limited to his own industry company, he has invested in everything that can be invested in any film and television production and entertainment brokerage company, and the result is extremely bleak, and he is disheartened in the end.

When people reach middle age, unemployment is the most painful, and it is not easy to change careers.

"Brother Duan..."

Just when he felt lost, Zhou Yi ran over and asked with concern, "How are you doing here?"

Duan Hongrui smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Zhou Yi hurriedly said: "I just saw that there seems to be an animation studio recruiting people over there, let's go over and have a look, maybe there is a chance." ”

Duan Hongrui's heart was hot when he heard this, now in this society, there are really not many people like Zhou Yi who are so enthusiastic.

"Good!"

The recruitment booth of the animation studio that Zhou Yi said was on the corner of the venue, and it was easy to ignore it if you didn't pay attention, but when the two of them came over, there were already several people gathered here.

Duan Hongrui and Zhou Yi's eyes first fell on the roll-up banner placed in front of the stall.

Because the above is a list of the studio's recruitment needs.

"Early summer animation studio is recruiting, 10-20 animators, 5-10 original artists, 1 special effects artist, 1 sound engineer, 1 assistant director, 1 marketing director..."

Recruit so many people?

Duan Hongrui and Zhou Pasta looked at each other.

There is no doubt that this early summer studio has just been established, so there are so many job requirements, the problem is that there are still people dancing in the big hole of animation production?

It feels incredible!

Duan Hongrui thought a little more, in his opinion, the other party entered the industry against the market, either because of a lack of understanding of the current situation of the industry, or because of the background.

The question is, what is the background, why set up a stall on the edge of the corner?

At first glance, it is not strong.

Duan Hongrui seriously doubted how long this studio could last.

You must know that the animation industry is an industry that burns money, and if the money burns, the result may be that you can't see any income, and you will end up losing all your money.

"Brother Duan?"

Zhou commented that Duan Hongrui was stunned and couldn't help asking.

Duan Hongrui reacted and hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

Dead horses should be live horse doctors, it's also an opportunity, and in this situation, it's good to be able to eat.

Even if the other party is a small studio with no future.

His mood was somewhat tragic.

The first one is sent.
