Chapter 436 Company Progress
After talking to Fang Yihua on the phone, Chen Lang found the six Huang Jiaxi who were adapting to the new environment.
"I have already communicated with the Shaw Brothers, and they are willing to terminate the contract with you directly now, restore your free body, and now go back and pack your things, and you can come to the company to report in the afternoon." Chen Lang looked at the six people and said with a smile.
"Really?"
"So fast?"
"Manager Fang actually agreed so quickly?"
β¦β¦
The six of them were a little incredulous when they heard Chen Lang's words, in everyone's eyes, Fang Yihua has always been a person who treats his subordinates very harshly and even harshly, although the six of them are not the core personnel of the Shaw Brothers, but Fang Yihua will not easily agree to let him go.
I didn't expect Chen Lang to do it so quickly, which made the six of them a little skeptical that Chen Lang was talking big.
Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of the six people, Chen Lang said with a smile, "Whether the contract has been terminated or not, don't you know when you go back to the Shaw Brothers and ask?" β
"Of course we believe you, now we'll go back and pack our things and rush back to sign the contract right away." Huang Jiaxi immediately smiled when he heard this, and gestured to the five around him with his eyes.
The five of them also understood in an instant that they couldn't doubt their future boss so directly, so they also echoed it.
"It doesn't matter, there is time, come back in the afternoon, and then get familiar with the company, everyone will be fine before the year, but everyone will have to be busy after the year." Chen Lang noticed Huang Jiaxi's movements but didn't care, and said calmly.
"Alright, we'll go back and pack our things now." After Huang Jiaxi finished speaking, he left with five people.
As soon as the five of them left the LL film company, they started talking.
"Is what Lang Lang said true? So Fang Yihua, who slammed the door, would agree so readily to let us go? Liang Shengquan frowned and asked.
"It shouldn't be fake, there is no need for Lang Lang to lie to us." Huang Jiaxi replied.
"Again, we begged him to take him in, and he didn't beg us." Miao Jiande nodded.
"It seems that Lang Lang must have reached some deals with wireless, but I didn't expect Chen Lang to take such a fancy to us." Li Xinye said with emotion that he had been idle for nearly half a year, and this feeling of being valued was particularly strong.
"There's nothing to say, just work hard to do your job well, be worthy of your salary, and be worthy of Lang Lang's attention." Huang Jiaxi said cautiously.
"Of course." The other five replied in unison.
After the six people left, Chen Lang returned to his office and began to sign the documents, Chen Lang himself was named the general manager of the company, and naturally there were a lot of things that he needed to deal with.
Now the company has just started, except for "Happy Ghost", which was co-produced with Shaw Brothers, everything else is all kinds of budgets, procurement, bonuses and the like within the company, but even so, it took Chen Lang an hour to deal with these after reading it.
Chen Lang let out a long sigh after dealing with it, and then shook his head.
Now the company has not yet developed and grown, and he will be fixed on this office chair, and he will continue to develop his career in the future, and there will be more trivial and complicated things, so there will be no time to put what he has in mind into practice, and he is not just to sit in the office, it seems that he must find a capable assistant for himself as soon as possible.
An hour of desk work made Chen Lang a little uncomfortable, so he walked around the company.
Chen Lang first transferred to the company's special effects team, in the small studio, Li Zhiwei and his group of college students and apprentices were staring at the computer, as if they were making something, Chen Lang quietly walked behind everyone and looked carefully.
In the computer screen is a scene of "Happy Ghost", the character played by Chen Lang is playing a roller coaster, Chen Lang remembers that this scene is the scene when he is playing with a rich girl, but the picture in the computer is a little different, the rich girl sitting in a row with Chen Lang is gone, but replaced by a gray wolf.
It's just that the gray wolf at this time is very "obvious", like a patch on his clothes, which is added after a glance, and compared with the surrounding environment, it looks very abrupt.
However, after Li Zhiwei has been rendered and retouched, the rendered head of the gray wolf has been very harmonious with the back/scene, and it looks like it is natural, without the feeling of "patch", but this operation seems to be very troublesome and time-consuming, and it can only be rendered a little more in half an hour.
But Chen Lang is very happy to see this, at least Chen Lang has seen progress, although he doesn't know much about computer special effects, but this does not prevent Chen Lang from fantasizing about his company making computer special effects movies.
Chen Lang stood behind everyone for more than half an hour and no one found out, it seems that everyone is indeed very invested in computer special effects, so Chen Lang quit the room after seeing what he wanted, and then came to the animation team.
The staff of the animation team seems to be very busy but well organized, after all, it is the personnel brought by Hideaki Anno as the main body, everyone has been working together for a long time, the division of labor is clear, and the cooperation is tacit.
"Team leader Hideaki Anno, I didn't disturb your work." Chen Lang walked to Hideaki Anno while watching everyone work.
"President, you are here, of course, don't bother, just let you see the results of our work and see if we can satisfy you." Anno Hideaki saw Chen Lang come in and immediately got up and said.
"You don't have to be polite, just be casual." Chen Lang patted Hideaki Anno on the shoulder, the Japanese have a lot of etiquette.
"Then I'll be respectful and obey." Anno Hideaki actually showed off his Chinese, and Chen Lang was happy to listen to it.
Seeing Chen Lang laughing, Hideaki Anno felt that it was obviously right for him to learn Chinese.
"This is the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" comic made according to your creativity of the president, and the character design is completely designed according to your requirements, how about you take a look?" Hideaki Anno picked up a stack of papers and handed it to Chen Lang.
Chen Lang took the manuscript paper and looked at it, the first few sheets were all the characters of the main characters, which were indeed no different from his own requirements, and there was almost no difference from the images in his previous life in his memory.
After the character design, it is the main content of the comics, and on the whole, there is no difference from the memory of his previous life, looking at the familiar few lambs and gray wolves in front of him, Chen Lang couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and then sighed slightly.
Hearing Chen Lang's sigh, Anno Hideaki was shocked, "President, is it that the comics still don't meet your requirements?" β
As soon as Hideaki Anno said this, all the members of the anime team looked at it.
"No, you guys drew it very well, exactly as I envisioned, I'm satisfied, but how is the animation?" Chen Lang asked.
"Only one episode has been produced so far, and there is no dubbing and theme song." When Hideaki Anno heard this, the stone in his heart finally landed.
"Can I take a look first?" Chen Lang was interested when he heard this.
"Absolutely." After Hideaki Anno finished speaking, he took Chen Lang to a small cubicle, where there was a set of projection equipment.
Chen Lang found a position to do it, and soon the picture jumped out, almost exactly the same as in his previous life, of course, the main reason is that the characters are very similar, and the background/scene may change slightly, but as a cartoon, you can't see the difference.
There are still some differences between the content and the previous life, after all, Chen Lang can't fully remember all the plots of "Xiyangyang and Big Big Wolf", so a lot of the content is created by the team members and the company's screenwriting department.
However, the content is still witty and funny, and at the same time it will not seem dogmatic and naΓ―ve, which is the focus of Chen Lang's statement at the beginning.
It's just that the cartoon at this time doesn't have sound, and there are not even subtitles, which looks a little weird.
Chen Lang saw that the national animation that was popular all over the country in his previous life reappeared in 1984, and he felt very wonderful, even if there was no sound at all, he watched an episode.
"Very good, I'm very satisfied with the character design and the picture, now it's time to speed up the production of the animation, and at the same time to add dubbing and subtitles to the animation, as for the theme song, I'll write it myself, and I'll find someone to record it when the time comes." Chen Lang nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't worry, President, the reason why the first episode has only been produced until now is because of a lot of preparation work done in front of it, and the newcomers need to be familiar with the equipment, so the production progress has been delayed, and now the speed will be accelerated." Hideaki Anno said with a smile.
"Now your team is working on animation and comics at the same time, do you have enough manpower? When else will it be possible to make two animations at the same time? Chen Lang asked.
"I divided everyone into two groups, a manga production team and an anime production team, both of which adopt the model of old people leading newcomers, but if you want to produce two animations at the same time, you have to wait about three months, and it's best to recruit some people to come in."
Hideaki Anno was thrilled when he heard that two animations were being made at the same time.
Hideaki Anno guessed that it was likely that the second anime would be "Zhu Xian", which was the anime that Hideaki Anno wanted to make for a long time, but Hideaki Anno didn't have too much ambition, and answered Chen Lang's question honestly.
"In this case, you still have to talk to the human resources department and ask them to continue to recruit talents related to art and animation production, and hope that your group can finish producing "Xiyangyang and Big Big Wolf" as soon as possible, and then make a second anime."
Chen Lang looked at the excitement in Hideaki's eyes and knew the love for "Zhu Xian" in his heart, and couldn't help laughing.
"Don't worry, President, I will definitely complete it as soon as possible and ensure the quality of the animation." Hideaki Anno nodded fiercely.
"Then I'm looking forward to your good news." Chen Lang smiled and left the office of the animation team.
Later, Chen Lang went around the company's screenwriting department and found that the screenwriters were perfecting the script of "The Frog Prince", and some people were working on the creation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", and then returned to his office.
As soon as he returned to the office, Chen Lang heard the phone ringing, "Hey, I'm Chen Lang." β
"Lang Lang, I'm Wang Jing, didn't you ask me to help you find a program planner, I've already found it for you."
