Chapter 042 Project Initiation
6,000 yuan is not a particularly high salary in BJ, but it is not low either. And this is not all their salaries, Liu Shuo not only paid them five insurances and one housing fund, but also promised a project bonus, as long as they do well in the project, tens of thousands of dollars per month is not a problem.
10,000 yuan is not only a relatively high salary in BJ, but also in the animation industry, it has reached the salary of middle-level personnel. In the animation industry this year, those who can reach 10,000 yuan can basically be reached by people at the level of the team leader or above, and the lowest animation practitioners, 5,000 is too much.
Liu Shuo signed a total of 42 people, including not only the elites of the juniors and seniors of the two schools of Zhongchuan and Beiying, but also a few people who have already worked, who deliberately resigned and came over. People are emotional animals, and these people come not only for high wages, but also for their friendship with Liu Shuo.
At the beginning, Liu Shuo gave them a lot of advice, otherwise it was not certain whether they could find a job after graduation.
It's not that other people don't know gratitude, but there are always differences in how people get along with each other. These people who came over are those who have a good relationship with Liu Shuo, if the relationship is not good, they will come here, and Liu Shuo doesn't have to!
After the personnel were in place, it could be said that everything was ready, Liu Shuo summoned someone and introduced Anthony to everyone, and then carried out two days of contact and adjustment.
April 1st, April Fool's Day. Manfeng officially released a notice on the Internet: The "League of Legends" cartoon is officially established, and the first episode will be about half a month later.
As soon as this news came out, the first reaction of comic fans was disbelief.
After all, today is April Fool's Day, and although Manfeng has always been known for its reliability, it is inevitable that it will joke with comic fans. Many people are waiting for today to pass, whether Manfeng will issue a notice saying that he played a joke with everyone yesterday.
However, there are also many people who leave a message below: I finally waited for the cartoon, I have been waiting for too long, even if I am deceived by you, I am willing!
This is the real iron fan, even if he is deceived, he is willing.
But the next day, Manfeng Company did not issue any announcement, which also made the matter begin to turn to the real side.
More and more netizens began to believe that the announcement was true, but there were still many netizens who did not believe it.
On the third day, Manfeng Company issued another announcement: Do you like the gift of April Fool's Day? This special gift will accompany you forever! On April 15th, please pay attention to Manfeng.com and Liujin.com, the first episode of "League of Legends" will be released on these two websites—— Liu Shuo!
At this time, people reacted, and they were still teased by Manfeng Company two days ago. They would never have thought that telling the truth on April Fool's Day could also be foolish!
"League of Legends" was officially established, and Liu Shuo directly used the 20 million yuan in the account of Manying Company as the project fund and began to produce cartoons. After two days of understanding, Anthony basically understood the general situation of the students, and divided them into two groups, one group to refine the hero model and make the dragon model, and the other group to build the map according to the script.
Although it was a little hasty to produce an episode in half a month, Anthony still proceeded in an orderly manner. The ability of these students is very good, and they also have the experience of the "Dream of Martial Arts" project team, so they are very handy in their work.
On the other hand, Li Chi recruited a lot of post-production personnel, and contacted musicians to create and record the theme song and ending song for "League of Legends".
Liu Shuo has a separate lounge in the Manying Company, which is where he plans to live temporarily in the future, and after class, he will move over with some necessary things and will not go back to the dormitory at night.
In addition to drawing cartoons at night, he spent all his time reviewing the employees' achievements and writing comments. Although this will make the employees a little embarrassed, after all, they have already started working, but Liu Shuo will still do it. The animation industry needs more excellent talents, and he wants to make every employee in the company into excellent talents, so he still retains some of the school's habits and urges these people to become better.
Fortunately, these people have all done it under Liu Shuo, and they are not very resistant to Liu Shuo's behavior.
However, Anthony looked at Liu Shuo differently, he didn't expect Liu Shuo to have such a status among these employees at a young age. Anthony does not have the habit of working overtime, which is related to the national conditions of the United States, because the United States has never worked overtime without compensation.
Liu Shuo will not ask Anthony to work overtime, his salary is too high, and he may not be able to afford too much overtime. Liu Shuo will let a few of his "apprentices" work overtime, and he will also keep an eye on it here, because it will cost a lot less money. Although Liu Shuo is very willing to invest money in animation, he is not poor and generous, how can he reduce expenses, he is quite clear.
"Here, here, these two patterns are not symmetrical!" Liu Shuo said, pointing to a screen that made an arena.
The employee immediately glanced at the design drawings, then nodded, and sure enough, it was not symmetrical. Although many times symmetry is beautiful, the place is not symmetrical and is clearly designed with different meanings. The two are hollows in the pillars, one side is large and the other is small, the large side is an entrance, and the small side is used to put square wood. There is a difference in the natural size depending on the role.
This is the detail, and there are often a lot of details to consider when making animation, because many times this design has its meaning, and it may even affect the setting of the story.
Because there was a lot of work at the beginning, Liu Shuo asked these employees to work overtime until half past eight in the evening, so that they would have a subway to do when they went back.
Working in China, overtime is the norm, as long as he gives overtime allowance, there are many people who are willing to work overtime.
On April 10th, most of the models were almost finished, and then they started to move. At least about 120 shots are required for more than 30 minutes, and it is still a bit difficult to complete three shots a month in the remaining five days, not to mention the action required for the opening and ending credits? There is also some time for the editors, and some time for the voice actors! No matter how you look at it, there is not enough time.
Liu Shuo had no choice but to post a notice on Manfeng again, apologizing to the fans, the first episode could not be broadcast on the 15th, and the other broadcast time will be notified separately.
On this day, He Dan also came back from the west, and she appeared in front of Liu Shuo's eyes, her originally fair skin was tanned, and her whole body was tired, but her two eyes were extremely bright.
"We have decided to make a total of 28 Hope Primary Schools, donated textbooks to 136 primary schools, and developed a free lunch program for 189 primary schools, which can help tens of thousands of students. ”
