Chapter 1494 - Change Makes Progress!

20 Sze Xun Road, Yin's Manor.

Following yesterday's visit by Wang Gang, Yin Jun welcomed two more guests today.

One is Chang Huxi, and the other is Hu Yi.

These two were the first candidates for management and planning sent to Yin Jun when they first cooperated with Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio.

Chang Huanxi is the animation director and comics director, and Hu Yi is in charge of the animation department.

Including going to Japan and the United States to study, they were all led by Hu Yi.

It's just that after they worked in Xiangjiang for two years, they were asked to go back, which made Yin Jun regret it very much.

Today's Shangmei Factory is able to keep up with the Kirin culture at a pace, thanks to the experience and manpower that the two of them brought back.

The animated versions of several comics surpassed Toei Animation in terms of painting quality, and it was also the change they brought to Shangmei Factory in the mainland after working in Kirin Culture for a few years.

After the two, the animation director of Qilin Culture is Chang Yuxi's friend Qin Yongyi, who has stayed in Xiangjiang for about a year longer than the two, but he will almost go back next year.

Xu Jun, who is about to take over as the animation director, is the first batch of talents recruited by Kirin Culture from Shangmei Factory, and after more than three years of training, he has basically grown up.

After Qin Yongyi, there are actually quite a few seconded employees from Shangmei Factory in the Kirin culture.

However, for the sake of the company's stability, Leyiling naturally needs to use its own people to take charge.

It's just that after returning to the mainland, Chang Huxi and Hu Yi did not break off their connection with the Qilin culture.

There are still many areas of cooperation between the two sides, and phone calls are a regular thing.

There are five telephones in Shangmei Factory, which have been specially approved by the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and can be contacted by the Xiangjiang side at any time - after all, there are so many staff members and many aspects that need to be communicated, and one phone is definitely not enough.

Sometimes it's not uncommon for people to argue, communicate with each other, and talk for an hour or two.

Even Chang Huanxi talked to Yin Jun on the phone from time to time, Yin Jun asked him about the situation of the American factory, and he also asked about some recent situations of Qilin culture, and the relationship between the two was very good.

This time when he came to Xiangjiang, Chang Huxi brought Hu Yi with him, and he also told Yin Jun in advance, just for the animation adaptation of "Dragon Ball".

After a sumptuous dinner, sitting in the courtyard outside the mansion, blowing the cool breeze on the top of the mountain, and looking at the lights under the mountain, Chang Huxi and Hu Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

They have lived in Xiangjiang for two years and have a lot of memories here.

Shanghai Beach in Shiliyangchang is already the top place in China, but compared to this British-style island, it is still much worse in many aspects, especially in this floating world.

If they choose purely from the perspective of life and work, it will definitely be more suitable for Xiangjiang here, and it will also make them more comfortable.

"The changes in Xiangjiang don't seem to be too big. Chang Huxi sighed a little, "It was like this when I left the year before last, and now there don't seem to be many more high-rise buildings." Is it because of the Huaying negotiations that the development of Xiangjiang has slowed down all of a sudden?"

"Not really!" Hu Yi said, "When I came here at the beginning of the year and in July, I saw panicked people all over the ground, as if the next moment the Xiangjiang River would collapse." In the midst of such panic, how can there be the motivation to build the Hong Kong River?"

Unlike Chang Huxi, Hu Yi, who is in charge of making animation, has been to Xiangjiang several times and knows a lot about the changes in Xiangjiang.

The two didn't know that Xiangjiang, which they are complaining about now, will become Asia's premier modern city in the next 20 years.

And if at that time, if they sit here and watch the night view of the Xiangjiang River, they will see the beauty of one of the three major night views in the world.

"The mainland is getting better and better now, Jun Shao, when you have time, come to Shanghai to live for a few days. Chang Huxi said, "Or let's go to the West Lake for a few days together, looking at the lake and mountains, our minds can open up a lot." Or maybe you'll be inspired to create a lot of classics!"

"I've heard that. Yin Jun smiled slightly, "The factory often organizes everyone to travel to various places to collect wind and take a rest by the way." ”

"Yes, West Lake, Humble Administrator's Garden, Huangshan and other places are all places we often visit. Chang Huanxi said, "This is also thanks to Junshao for the order you gave us, if it weren't for the production of so many animations, where would we be able to live such a good life?"

"Not only us, but also places like Science Film Studio and Changying Studio, aren't they all because of the cooperation with Qilin Culture, so that life is much better?" Hu Yi answered.

"You also have to have the ability to order it. Yin Jun smiled, "Of course, there is a deep friendship between the two of us, and in the future, under the same conditions, Kirin Culture will naturally give priority to cooperating with the American factory, and this will not change." ”

"Yes!"

Chang Huanxi clapped his hands, "So Junshao, do you think we have the ability to take over "Dragon Ball" in the United States?"

"I knew you were here for this. Yin Jun smiled, "Can't wait?"

"I can't say that, but it's a painful wait. Chang Huxi said with a straight face, "The reason why we came here is that on the one hand, we want to have a quasi-believer, and on the other hand, we have confidence. You know the strength of Shangmei Factory, we not only have an excellent heritage, but also a group of elites who have returned from Xiangjiang.

To a certain extent, in terms of modern animation production, Shangmei Factory is like Kirin Culture. We can't make it as fast as Toei Animation, but we have a little better quality than them. Besides, we have more than 100 professional artists and animators in our factory, and they can all be transferred to the Dragon Ball production team, which is much better prepared than Toei Animation, right?"

Yin Jun nodded.

In this era, Huaguo's talent base still has to be said, and it is much more reserved than after 30 years.

Thirty years later, Huaguo's greatest contribution to the world is the group of industrial workers with junior high school to high school Chinese qualifications.

Most of these industrial workers are located in Guangdong, Dongguan, and Nanwan, and it is they who have supported the reputation of the world's No. 1 processing factory in China.

The new round of labor cost increases that began in 2012 and the world economic recession have made many foreign-funded factories want to move out of China to cheaper countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

But after going around for several years, more than half of those who left returned to China.

Because only this group of workers in China is the most professional and efficient.

It is true that those workers in foreign countries are very cheap, but they are cheap and not good, they are lazy, the precision is not enough, the authenticity rate is ultra-low, and the various supporting facilities are inconvenient...... And so on, all of which have increased the cost of these factories.

But Huaguo's overall talent pool is roughly like this.

There is a shortage of urgently needed electronic technology professionals, such as chips, software, communications, etc.

Because in those days, people's hearts were impetuous.

Just as 90% of those who study traditional Chinese medicine will turn to the position of selling medicine, those who enter the university related to electronic technology are only to have a good job, and there is no idea of improving themselves and making themselves outstanding.

Now it's different.

Nowadays, people are very down-to-earth and have not been affected by those flashiness, students are very serious and greedy to study, and technical talents are constantly improving themselves in order to complete more and more cutting-edge tasks.

Shangmei Factory is one such example.

From the four old men of the Wan family to the graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts who have just come in, they all have a twelve-point attitude towards their own work.

They have done an excellent job of completing the "Oolong Courtyard" given by Qilin Culture, and "Oolong Courtyard" has also won awards from more than 20 countries in one go with its witty and moving philosophy of life.

That's why "Tomb Raider", "Hilarious Life in the Rainforest" and "Little Master of China" were taken by them and two other production factories.

Although the more important "Conan" and "Saint Seiya" were taken away by Toei Animation, in the scoring sequence of Kirin Culture, Shangmei Factory has narrowed the gap to a large extent.

This is also the most important reason why the animation production of "Dragon Ball" has not been decided.

This has little to do with Yin Jun's personal feelings, and Kirin Culture now has its own code of conduct, all of which give priority to business.

If Shangmei Factory was too bad, then there would be no hesitation at all, and it would have been given to Toei Animation a long time ago.

The two of them are not much different now, so the boss's opinion is very important.

It was precisely because they knew this from Nei Ying that Chang Huxi and Hu Yi would immediately rush to persuade Yin Jun.

"I personally agree that Dragon Ball can be produced at Shangmei Factory, and I hope it will be produced by you. Yin Jun didn't delay, didn't sell off, but said his thoughts, "But we have been working together for so long, and there are some things that I think I can remind you now." ”

"Jun Shao, please speak!"

Chang Huanxi and Hu Yi both sat up straight immediately, their faces solemn.

"You have been to Xiangjiang and know that Xiangjiang's attitude towards doing business is completely different from the current mainland. The young man said slowly, "In Xiangjiang, no matter what industry you are in, you don't pay attention to eating a big pot of rice, everything is based on the capable." But the mainland is different, and almost all the state-owned factories now eat a big pot of rice together, doing more and doing less, doing good and bad, which is very bad. ”

Chang Huxi was stunned, and then said: "We know this, so now in the Shangmei factory, they are all distributed according to work, and whoever completes well in several groups will get more bonuses, which is a gap with ordinary employees!"

"But it's not done thoroughly. Yin Jun said bluntly: "I mean, even in a group, there should be a big enough gap according to the size of the contribution." That's the best way to train the best artists and animators! If they're all doing the same work as ordinary artists and animators, how can they make the best animations for us?"

Chang Huxi was speechless for a while and did not answer.

The situation that Yin Jun said does exist.

After learning from the experience of Xiangjiang, Shangmei Factory has broken the big pot rice system on a large scale.

For example, logistics and administrative jobs, the salary is the same as that of front-line artists and animators, but the bonus is much worse, and the maximum annual salary can be less than 3,000 yuan!

But in a group, such as the production team of "Oolong Temple", the gap between everyone in it has not been opened at all, basically calculated according to the working hours, and does not consider which one is better.

It can be understood that it is for unity and coordination, but Chang Huanxi also understands that this is actually unfair to those very good artists and animators inside.

They can draw and make in two or three hours, which can be worth the workload of ordinary people for one or two days, but the bonus they get is about the same.

It's just that because everyone is a factory, the overall income is far more than that of ordinary people, so there is no problem in a short period of time.

However, if you look at it in the long run, they will definitely have ideas.

Not to mention anything else, if Qilin Culture comes to poach people, can Shangmei Factory retain these capable people?

You must know that Qilin Culture will borrow people from Shangmei Factory every year, and gradually many people in it will no longer return to Shangmei Factory and stay directly in Qilin Culture.

If it is poached again and again, and all the outstanding talents are poached, will Shangmei Factory still maintain its glory?

All right.

If you want to keep them, then as Yin Jun said, you must set a reward clause for individuals, not a group.

But the question is, can such an extreme reward method work in Shangmei Factory?

Will the people above agree?

Will those rank-and-file employees agree?

It's not that the leaders haven't thought about these problems, but because they involve too much, they have not dared to move.

Now that Yin Jun has directly proposed it, and it is regarded as a prerequisite for cooperation, it is obvious that it will not be changed.

But how to change it specifically, and how to get it so as not to cause shocks?

Chang Huxi fell into confusion.

Hu Yi is next to him, but there are not so many taboos.

He nodded immediately, "I think I should change it too." It is said that the reward grading is not in line with our xx-ism factory, but isn't it now reforming, reforming, opening up, and liberalizing? If we don't try to change it, how can we catch up with the developed countries in Europe and the United States? And you see, Europe and the United States have implemented such measures for more than 300 years, not only have they not collapsed, but many talents have come out enthusiastically, which proves that this is certainly not bad!

"The two of you don't have to be in a hurry, please go back and tell Director Yan, saying that this is my opinion, and ask them to consider it. The boy bowed slightly, "The project of "Dragon Ball", since you have all come here to talk about it, I can also do it for Shangmei Factory. But if we don't see any positive changes in Shangmei Factory, I think our personal friendship can't always be used in our work, after all, the Kirin culture is about pursuing profit and success, right?"

"I see!"

Chang Huxi nodded slowly, his expression was much more solemn than before.

Yin Jun has said this part, how could he still not understand?

If Shangmei Factory stops its progress and is greatly thrown off by the Kirin culture, no matter how good the personal relationship is, it will not work, and the cooperation between the two will probably end here.

He believes that if he tells this to the people in the factory, they will definitely pay more attention than ever.

After all, if the cooperation of Qilin Culture is lost, Shangmei Factory will be beaten back to its original shape all of a sudden.

At that time, the film studio and the long film studio will not hesitate, and they will directly follow the change of the trend and grab the order.

Shangmei Factory will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

It's nothing to live a hard life all the time, but if you are used to living a good life and go to live a hard life again, no one wants to.

If it really comes to that point, I am afraid that this group of elites in Shangmei Factory will resign directly and defect to the Qilin culture of Xiangjiang!

This is absolutely not allowed!!
