Starry Sky Building, in the early summer animation studio, is a jubilant scene.

Today is the day the studio is paid, but unlike previous pay days, all employees in the studio will receive a performance bonus.

It's been a while since the early summer animation studio was established, and this is the first time that a performance bonus has been issued, and depending on the performance, each employee can receive a maximum of four or five months' salary, and at least one or two months' salary.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo..."

The performance bonus is not directly transferred to the employee's account by the finance, but in the form of cash red envelopes, which are personally distributed by Luo Kai to all employees.

Every employee who received the bonus was all smiling, holding a thick red envelope, and their morale was full of MAX.

At present, there are more than 100 employees in Early Summer Animation, most of whom have worked in other animation companies before, but they lost their jobs due to the recession of the industry, and then they were recruited into Early Summer Animation.

Only when you have lost can you know how to cherish it, everyone knows that this job is not easy to come by, and they dare not ask for too much.

In fact, since the production of the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" cartoon began, many employees are uneasy, because now domestic animation is in a difficult situation, without government subsidies, it is a pure loss-making business, and the animation studio has been in a state of burning money in early summer, and no one knows how long it can last.

Especially some time ago, Luo Kai and Duan Hongrui frequently encountered difficulties in order to find a TV station to broadcast "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", which once made the studio's hearts fluctuate.

Later, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" fell to Gan Provincial Satellite TV, which temporarily stabilized everyone's mood.

But now the situation is completely different, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" became popular after it was broadcast on Gan Provincial Satellite TV, and the ratings climbed to the top of the list, and the later episodes did not worry about selling at all.

Beijing Satellite TV came and bought the replay copyright of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", Feixun Video also came, and the network copyright of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was bagged, and Morningstar Stationery came and signed a licensing agreement at a price of four million in four years...

It's like a stream of fresh blood injected into early summer animation, allowing the studio to successfully switch from a cash-burning model to a profit-making model, and the future is bright.

Today's "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has become a sweet spot, and it has become a real dark horse in the industry, and even the employees of the studio have a bright face.

Sometimes I chat with my peers and even laymen, and when I talk about the early summer animation work that made "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", there are those who envy and hate, and there are those who are surprised and admired.

Today, we have received a real dividend, and everyone's mood can be imagined.

"Keep up the good work..."

After sending out the last red envelope, Luo Kai said to everyone very seriously: "Believe me, the future of early summer animation will be better!"

The entire office area suddenly resounded with thunderous applause.

Luo Kai smiled and waved his hand, motioned for everyone to continue working, and then returned to the office.

Duan Hongrui followed in and said, "Mr. Luo, there are really too few bosses like you..."

The sigh of the general manager of the early summer animation studio is heartfelt.

He has been in the circle for one or two decades, and he has seen a lot of bosses who suck their fingers and squeeze employees, but he has never seen a few bosses as generous as Luo Kai.

Today, the studio issued a total of more than 2 million performance bonuses to all employees, and Duan Hongrui, as the general manager, received the most bonuses.

In fact, although the income of animation has increased significantly in the early summer recently, it is not really profitable compared to Luo Kai's investment, but in this case, Luo Kai does not want to get back the capital, but to motivate employees in the most practical way.

With the current situation of the domestic animation industry, the production companies that can pay wages on time can be regarded as very conscientious, and no one will complain if Luo Kai does not pay a penny in bonuses, because the studio's salary is always on time, and basic benefits can be guaranteed.

But he still generously threw out more than two million.

It's not just about having a conscience.

Regarding Duan Hongrui's sigh, Luo Kai smiled faintly and said: "This is how it should be, without everyone's efforts, the early summer animation would not be today, and the performance bonus will be paid monthly in the future, and it is natural to work more and more." ”

Although the storyline and characters of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are all from him, without the hard work of the studio's original artists, animators, special effects, dubbing, editing, etc., there would be no birth of this popular cartoon.

Since Gan Provincial Satellite TV broadcasts according to the frequency of one episode a day, although the early summer animation provided 30 episodes of content, the production pressure in the later stage is still quite large.

In order to catch up with the progress of the broadcast and ensure the quality of the cartoon, many employees volunteered to work overtime under the leadership of Duan Hongrui, all of which Luo Kai saw in his eyes.

He planned the future of early summer animation a long time ago, and if you want to realize your dream, it is impossible to do it alone, what is needed is a team that works together.

So Luo Kai doesn't care about the current payment at all, what can more than two million be counted, his brand valuation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is 1 billion!

And early summer animation will not be limited to the IP of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "My Little Pony" is already in production, and more animated images will be born in the studio in the future, and the plan for a big movie will also start operating next year.

Therefore, early summer animation still needs to recruit more talents to join, if Luo Kai is stingy with efforts now, how can early summer animation establish a first-class reputation in the circle?

Duan Hongrui said with a smile: "If today's matter spreads, there will definitely be many people who want to come to our studio." ”

That's almost inevitable, the employees who receive the bonus have to show in the circle of friends, plus the success of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", they don't need to advertise in early summer animation, and word of mouth spreads.

Luo Kai Zhengse said: "You come to check this aspect, if there are good talents, we will recruit them, we will operate multiple projects at the same time in the second half of the year, and the current manpower is still insufficient." ”

The number of production episodes of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is at least a few hundred, and thousands of episodes are possible, which will inevitably bind a group of professional production personnel, and other projects will inevitably be stretched in terms of human resources.

So the expansion of the studio was imperative.

Although this will definitely greatly increase operating costs, Luo Kai was originally prepared not to make money for three years.

And now it seems that three years is too conservative, with the current situation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", there is no pressure to turn losses into profits within a year.
