Chapter 113: Breaking the Contract
PS: Thank you for the 2000 starting coins that I am now full of strength to reward so late~ Haha, just kidding, funny~ I also finished today's code so late, two in one, no chapters.
Because there are too many things to be busy during this time, as soon as the weekend passes, after the landlady went to school, Xia Ziyu also rushed to the company. Recently, there are a lot of things that have been arranged, and if it weren't for the fact that there is a professional manager who can manage the daily operation of the company for him, he can really make a mess, thinking that he can breathe a sigh of relief, and everything in the company is running according to the predetermined trajectory.
As soon as he returned to his office on Monday, and was about to make a cup of coffee by himself, Qi Min, the head of the animation department of Blue Star Entertainment, knocked on the door of his office.
It was almost less than three minutes apart, and it seemed that she had been reported by the others, and she knew that he had come to work and rushed over from the animation department.
Xia Ziyu saw Qi Min come in, and motioned to her to wait first, he picked up the instant coffee prepared in the office, turned to her and asked, "Sister Qi, do you want coffee?"
She still dresses the same as usual, a women's suit skirt, slender legs wearing black stockings, and black small high heels, this is the most classic workplace uniform matching, plus her logo short hair and wearing pink-framed glasses, she looks a very intellectual strong woman in the workplace.
"Mr. Xia, there is something wrong with the animation department, and you need to decide. ”
She ignored Xia Ziyu's question, and simply said the purpose of her coming, although she still maintained her usual serious attitude and was meticulous, but from the tone of her voice just now, she could hear some anxious emotions in it.
What's wrong with the animation? It's definitely not an ordinary problem for him to decide. For the general management aspect, he gave them the authority, and he would make some suggestions in the general direction.
"Please come to the animation department. She continued.
Xia Ziyu looked at her expression, but he couldn't see anything from it, so he had to put down the coffee can in his hand, "Okay, let's go." ”
I heard that there was an important report.,I'm going to go to the animation department.,It seems that there might be something wrong with the animation production team over there.。
Follow Qi Min out of the office, his floor is on the same third floor as the comic editing team, and the office of the animation production team of Blue Star Entertainment is located on the fifth floor of the Blue Star Building, and the two walked into the elevator.
Xia Ziyu asked, "Minister Qi, what's the matter with the animation department, and you can't solve it?"
"There was a problem with the voice actors, and the agent we found said that there was no way to find a voice actor right now. ”
As she spoke, her fingers pressed the button on the fourth floor.
I thought it was a problem with the production team just now, but when she said dubbing, Xia Ziyu was really surprised.
couldn't wait for him to answer, the elevator had stopped on the fourth floor and opened, Qi Min walked out first, and Xia Ziyu had to go out first and ask what was the matter.
"Mr. Xia, this way. ”
She showed the way in front, the animation dubbing on the fourth floor was also just built, and all the equipment was shipped from all over the world in the past few days, and Blue Star Entertainment considered that it might record singers in the future, so the specifications used in the recording studio here are the best.
The recording studio is only less than half completed, there are still many empty areas on the first floor, Xia Ziyu has never been to the fourth floor, and today is the first day of the official start of the recording studio.
The overall decoration style of the fourth floor is different from the third floor as an office area, and after walking in, there is a long passage, and there are some indoor ornamental plants on both sides of the walk, and the green safety indicators on both sides of the passage are lit with soft green light.
The room, which is still somewhat empty, can be seen through the glass of the hallway, and at the end of the passage, there is a double door.
Xia Ziyu could see that the door was written on the animation dubbing department.
Qi Min pushed the door directly in, and as soon as he opened the door, he could hear the voices of several people talking inside, Xia Ziyu looked over Qi Min's head, and could see a group of animation sound supervisors talking angrily to a thirty-year-old man.
The supervisor's voice was a little loud, and there were still several meters away, and Xia Ziyu could hear it clearly, "You only said now that you can't find a voice actor, don't you think it's too outrageous?" As a well-known voice actor agency in the industry, your fees are also first-class in the industry, and you have signed a contract, and now you tell me that the voice actor can't come?"
The thirty-year-old man in front of him seemed unmoved by his anger, and even responded a little toughly: "Mr. Chen, our voice actor agency is indeed the first-class in the industry, and the resources in our hands are the richest, and the scope of business includes animation, TV series, games and other aspects.
You must know that when your company contacted us in advance, it was not a cross-regional service order, and now we want to find so many voice actors to audition for your company, which is not realistic at all. ”
This time, it was the animation sound supervisor who signed a contract with this agency, and he established a business relationship with the agency on an online platform.
I couldn't help laughing, "You said that you signed a cross-district service order, but your salesman's mistake was not to carefully verify the customer's address information, and only today did you find out that we are a company in the first district, and you came to tell us that the business in the outer district can only be outsourced?"
The two of you have talked a lot back and forth, and each has its own right and wrong. In the order placed by Station P, the intermediary was asked to introduce the voice actor to the company's audition business, but due to lack of experience, the address provided to the other party was not written as the first district. The staff over there also negligently did not verify, and it took a few days to find out that the location of this business was not District 11, and it was impossible to do this business.
The two of them came in and attracted the attention of the two people arguing over there, including the staff members who were standing on the side.
Xia Ziyu listened to the quarrel just now, and almost knew what was going on, the intermediary company he had found before only found out today because of negligence in his work, and sent someone to coordinate here.
"Mr. Xia, minister. The sound supervisor saw the two men coming and hurriedly greeted them.
"Well, you go to work first, I'll deal with Mr. Xia here. ”
After saying that, she turned to the man and said, "Mr. Saito, no matter how you justify the strength of your company, the fact seems to us that your company has taken over the business, but it has completely failed to meet the requirements promised in advance. ”
The people from the agency couldn't argue, so they had to say helplessly: "The current voice actor offices are all in District 11, and most of the voice actors work in Sakura, and the recent voice actor schedules are full because of animation.
Even if the voice actor of the office still has a schedule, their office will not take the job, and the cherry blossoms in the 11th district are too far away from the harbor province in the first district, so if they take your job, if other characters find them, they won't be able to take it.
When your company contacted us before, we didn't know that you were a company in District 1, and we used to take over business in other regions.
We also have a set of solutions for cross-regional business, that is, you subcontract the dubbing work to our company, our company has a professional recording studio, we have a full set of dubbing system, where we arrange the voice actor audition, select the voice actor, and after the dubbing is completed, the finished product will be returned to your company, which is very convenient. ”
As he said, any industry is the same, and there will inevitably be downstream companies around upstream enterprises.
At present, the industry's well-known animation production companies are located in Sakuraku, the 11th ward, and most of the industries are gathered in one place, and the accompanying voice actor business will basically be set up in the surrounding area.
Their Blue Star Entertainment is in the first district of Harbour Province, and there is no voice actor agency that can dub animation at all, so they found a voice actor agency in District 11 to solve the problem of voice actor dubbing.
Since everyone was a new team working on animation for the first time, there were many things that were inexperienced, and this accident was also caused by inexperience.
It turns out that animation companies that are not in District 11 are generally looking for them to do outsourcing business, and they directly send the animation of the line draft to District 11, and when the dubbing is completed, they will turn back to do a complete animation.
But because Xia Ziyu's own company is equipped with a recording studio, he wanted to let the dubbing come here, but he never thought that the distance between the two places made many voice actors reluctant to come here.
What should I do now, Xia Ziyu was a little worried for a while.
Qi Min used to do management work in Xingka Video, and the team on Xingka Video has never done animated dramas, and his previous experience is only to do promotional advertisements, creative videos, etc., and he doesn't need to find a voice actor, and the dubbing can be done by basic internal staff.
She also began to make difficulties, and she has accepted the other party's statement that the dubbing work should be outsourced, and the animation production team can still be competent, but professional dubbing, in fact, it is better for them to do it.
But Mr. Xia had to establish his own dubbing department in Bluestar Entertainment before, and even train his own voice actors, if it took a year or two, it might not be a problem, but it was only a month, how could he do this?
Xia Ziyu knows that he is an outsider to management, and the comic network still needs professional managers to manage it, and now the animation network needs to coordinate more departments, in such a short time, it is also difficult for Qi Min to make everything complete.
Seeing the two hesitating, Saito Quansheng, who was sent to Blue Star Entertainment this time, was also temporarily told to go to the first district, obviously the business in other districts is arranged by the office to do outsourcing work, and even he himself is confused, what kind of dubbing work can he do?
This business is purely the fault of the company's business department, he is the director of the company's logistics service, this time the main thing is to mediate the oolong incident, seeing that he left with a hot temper just now, and replaced two people who seem to be able to make a decision, so he hurriedly put forward the conditions prepared in advance, and said: "This time we are the responsible party for the incident, and we did not properly verify the area where your company is located to sign the contract hastily, and the company is very sorry for such a mistake!"
In response to this apology to your company, our company can outsource the business of the dubbing part to our company, and we will give your company a 20% discount on the market price, and ensure the quality of dubbing.
Second, if your company wants to terminate the contract, our company will also refund the previous contract fee in full.
If you can, we hope to become a partner with your company, your company has a lot of excellent works on your website, there will be more animation business in the future, if we can cooperate, it will be a win-win situation for both parties.
I'm not afraid to tell you, the voice actor agencies in the industry are all full of schedules, and those second-rate animation dubbing companies are probably not able to find a voice actor for an animation dubbing now.
If we choose to outsource our business as soon as possible, we can arrange interviews for well-known voice actors as soon as possible, and if it is too late, it is estimated that it will be difficult to arrange even the schedule of newcomers.
After the animation industry began to cooperate with the manga club this year, the business volume has surged, and there are countless excellent works waiting to be adapted from the manga magazine, and no matter which animation company does not have to worry about running out of good scripts.
Therefore, the number of jobs received by voice actors has also increased accordingly, and even newcomers who have just entered the industry can get a lot of roles. ”
In fact, he said this and still wanted Qi Min to choose to outsource the business to them, this time the group of grandsons in the company's business department caused so much trouble to the company, and actually took such an order, the first district is so far away, how can there be an office to take such a job for the voice actors, and he came all the way to pretend to be his grandson, and he must scold them bloody when he goes back.
The mood on Qi Min's face eased a lot, and he said to him: "Since this is the case, then I will discuss it with Mr. Xia first and then make a decision." ”
Seeing that the face of the other side softened, he hurriedly persuaded: "Market reasons, we can't control it, please understand." So our company still hopes that your company's dubbing business is outsourced to us, I heard that you have three works that need dubbing, and our three businesses can give the biggest discount of 20% off the original fee!"
Xia Ziyu on the side also had a cold face, he didn't have much time for them, he had to make three works at a time, and he couldn't delay too long in dubbing, so he had to decide today.
Otherwise, even if the animation is finished by then, it will not be possible to show it without voice actor dubbing.
Xia Ziyu actually didn't care about the eight-fold offer at all, he frowned and asked Qi Min, "Minister Qi, I don't know if there is a local voice actor office?"
If he could, he wanted Blue Star Entertainment's dubbing department to produce animated sound effects, after all, he could only gain experience by doing it himself. The outsourced dubbing business includes not only voice actors, but also background special effects and BGM soundtracks.
Qi Min pondered for a while, shook his head and said helplessly: "Professional animation voice actor studios are all gathered in District 11, after all, the animation industry is still in District 11, and District 1 only has the kind of dubbing studio that makes sound effects for games, and it can't dub animation at all." ”
Hearing her answer, Xia Ziyu also sighed helplessly, sure enough, each region has its own unique cultural field, and if you want to find a voice actor agency to do animation here, you can't find it, so you can only contact the outsourcing team in District 11.
In fact, Xia Ziyu is so obsessed with letting voice actors come to their company to dub and produce animated sound effects by himself, mainly to accumulate more experience. Only by producing it yourself can you gain experience in this area, which will pave the way for the establishment of your own voice actor department in the future.
Do you have to outsource the three animations to them?Xia Ziyu is entangled, so that the animation dubbing department in the company is equivalent to a decoration, even in the future, the situation will only be the same as this time, and the eleventh district will not be close to here because of time, and in the future, voice actors will only be active in the most active areas of the animation market.
Qi Min waited for his decision, in fact, her idea was that if she wanted to establish a dubbing department, she would at least open a voice actor department first, train the voice actors of her own company, and let the voice actors from the eleventh district come over, which was really unreliable.
However, the establishment of a voice actor department will not be effective in a short period of time, and in a year or two, voice actors will not be able to take charge on their own.
Therefore, this time, I will outsource all three animations to the dubbing studio, and I will consider completing them myself in the future.
Saito Quansheng heard their discussion on the side, and interjected, "Hehe, I know that in the first district, in the harbor province, a new dubbing company called Yiye animation dubbing company was opened, but unfortunately there are not many animation companies in the eleventh district that are willing to cooperate with them, and they are reduced to only taking on some small productions of the animation business, if the company's boss is not the rich second generation, this company may go out of business......"
He was still ridiculing the company called Yiye over there, but here Xia Ziyu suddenly interrupted him, "Wait, the company you just said is in Gangwan Province, and the company's name is Yiye?"
Seeing that the young boss on the other side was interested in the company he said, he couldn't help but feel funny, Yiye's status in the industry was not even third-rate, he advised: "Uh, yes, what, Mr. Xia, your company shouldn't want to cooperate with that company, right? Let me remind you, that company's business ability is not good, and their voice actors have not been matched with famous works since their creation......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Ziyu, "Okay, I've already decided, Blue Star Entertainment and Yiye will cooperate." Please discuss the termination of the contract with Minister Qi. ”
With that, he walked out of the animation dubbing department with a happy expression, leaving the two of them with confused faces.
