This animation director is called Anthony, and he worked as an assistant director at Disney. He likes Chinese culture very much, and participated in the production of "Mulan" in 98, and his ability is very good. It was also a coincidence that Li Chi was able to find him, originally he had no idea of wanting to work in China, but Li Chi went to Anthony with the comics of "League of Legends", and after reading the comics, Anthony liked it very much, so he moved the idea of coming to China to work.

Li Chi saw Anthony's motivation and immediately increased his weight, giving him an annual salary of $500,000 per year plus project bonuses and five insurances and one housing fund, which made Anthony decide to join Manying Animation Company.

The annual salary of 500,000 is indeed not a very high number for Hollywood, but it is a high salary for Anthony. Animation directing in the United States is an awkward profession because they don't have any union protection.

This is a legacy of history, and animation directors were deliberately excluded when the American Animators Guild was founded in the 50s. At that time, it was believed that animation directors belonged to management, and they had the right to hire and fire workers, and that the animation workers' union should belong to the organization of ordinary employees.

These cartoon directors wanted to join the Directors Guild of America, but the Directors Guild of America would not accept it, and the Animators Guild was reluctant to join the Animators Guild. This creates an embarrassing situation for animation directors, who are not protected by unions and suffer in many ways, without secondary pay, insurance and pensions.

In this case, Li Chi gave Anthony enough conditions for him to bring his family to work in China. An annual salary of 500,000 yuan can make them live very well in China.

Liu Shuo and Anthony talked a few times, and decided to invest 20 million in the early stage to produce the cartoon of "League of Legends". The national conditions of China and the United States are different, and in order to avoid Anthony's unsuitability, Liu Shuo decided to keep an eye on the project often.

League of Legends models are all off-the-shelf, which can be pulled from Riot and then optimized.

However, because the office has not been done yet, Liu Shuo obviously Anthony has several abilities to highlight the script of Beiying Animators. Because it's a change of script, it's relatively easy to do, and you can definitely get a script of more than ten episodes after the office is repaired. Because "League of Legends" is too bloody and can only be released on the website, the time of each episode can be set by yourself, Liu Shuo is tentatively set at more than 30 minutes, plus the opening and ending songs, which is about the same time as an episode on TV.

Anthony's ability is not small, and he is also a human being, he knows that the real purpose of Liu Shuo inviting him here is not to let him direct how many cartoons, but to help him bring out more excellent animators. Therefore, he is very enthusiastic about the few "apprentices" who follow him, and has always tried his best to teach them, because it may be related to his future salary.

The film industry in the United States is well developed, and so is the animation industry. Anthony is a person who understands the American animation industry very well, and with the help of such people, Liu Shuo can cultivate more animators and drive the rapid development of the animation industry.

After having Li Chi, Liu Shuo was also a lot more relieved, and he paid more attention to class. Although Liu Shuo is going to college for the second time, he still learns a lot in Beiying. You may not learn about the style of animation here, but you can definitely learn the art of making animation.

At present, there are many software for learning animation, in addition to the commonly used 3Dmax and Maya, there are also sketch masters, SolidWorks, CAD, Blender, Cinema4D and many other software.

However, at present, the popular ones in China are basically 3Dmax and Maya, which are the mainstream of animation, and then CAD is the mainstream of engineering software, and others can rarely be used in China, and you can only learn by yourself. Of course, there are also some sketch masters, but Liu Shuo has really come into contact with this software, and he hasn't used it, so I don't know how.

In the past two years, he has learned 3Dmax almost, and now he is learning Maya. Because there are very few cracked versions of Maya at this time, you can only buy genuine versions, so many schools can't find teachers who teach Maya. However, Beiying has a lot of money, and the cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars in a computer room is not a matter at all. What's more, this computer room can be used for many years, even if it is updated in real time, Beiying can afford to pay for it.

The wool comes out of the sheep, and the money is only one or two thousand per person in the students' tuition, and the school has nothing to lose.

On March 14, China's 08 years of man-made disasters in the three major disasters of heaven, earth and man appeared, criminals set fire to more than 300 places, 908 shops, 7 schools, 120 houses, 5 hospitals in Lhasa were damaged, 10 financial outlets were smashed, at least 20 buildings were burned to rubble, 84 cars were destroyed. Eighteen innocent people were burned or hacked to death, and 382 people were injured, including 58 seriously. The direct property loss of LS City amounted to 244,687,890 yuan.

After experiencing it again, Liu Shuo hated it so much that he couldn't wait to take a gun and make these people suddenly.

But Liu Shuo couldn't do it, he felt powerless, and he kept holding his breath in his heart, not knowing how to vent. He could only paint these angers in the painting, and during this time, when his line draft was officially Yue Fei's scenery, Yue's army attacked the six counties of Xiangyang, became famous in Dongting, and began the Northern Expedition.

To recapture the six counties of Xiangyang and the part of the famous Dongting, Liu Shuo has already finished painting. After the Northern Expedition began, the style of this part of the line drawing became bloody, mixed with Liu Shuo's hatred for those rioters.

Some people may say that Liu Shuo's patriotic sentiments are too strong, how can those rioters be so far away from him to affect him?

This is the success of China's patriotic education, Liu Shuo has never thought of saying that China is bad, even though there are many bad people, but he still loves this country.

The happy Northern Expedition eased Liu Shuo's anger. The next plot will be Yue Fei's death, which makes Liu Shuo very uncomfortable, and he is ready to adjust it before drawing. After all, he has accumulated dozens of lines of drafts, and even if he doesn't draw for a month, "The Wizard of Wonderland" will not be interrupted.

Liu Shuo went to see the progress of Anthony's work, Anthony is worthy of being a big bull in the animation industry, he not only produced more than 20 episodes of scripts, but also formed a director team with those "apprentices", constantly discussing the plot and finding out a more suitable way of expression for China.

Liu Shuo affirmed Anthony's work and encouraged the seniors to learn from Anthony.

On March 29, the office was finally done, and Liu Shuo summoned the animators who had completed the revision of "Dream of Martial Arts" to the office and signed a formal contract with them. 6,000 yuan per month for seniors, while 4,800 yuan per month for juniors. Of course, overtime or something is counted separately.
