Ohno Animation Studio

"Yes, yes, I'll tell the president. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Hanging up the phone, Asato Kikura came to the office of the president of the studio, remembered what he heard on the phone just now, and sighed and reported: "President, there has been a call from [Yunoku] over there, and this time it is also about the quality of the painting that needs to be returned, and there will be a production to negotiate with you later." ”

There was a bloated middle-aged man sitting in the office, facing the computer and not knowing what he was playing, and for a long time, Ohno Matsu, the president of Ohno Animation Studio, yawned indifferently and replied, "In this case, just take the original picture back and revise it again." ”

Asato Kikura reminded with a heavy face: "But this is the third time that our studio has rejected the manuscript, which completely exceeds the completion time of the original painting required by the contract." He looked at the nominal president of the animation studio in front of him and held back the anger in his heart, Ohno Matsu established Ohno Animation Studio several years ago, and at that time, Kikura Asato, who wanted to become an original artist, reluctantly applied here because he couldn't find a job after graduating from university, so he was confused for a few years and figured out the urine nature of this animation studio.

Fortunately, the members are all experienced freelance original artists.

President Ono Matsu became the biggest problem of the studio, he had no ambition at all, and he established an animation studio just because he became a producer in an animation production company and accumulated some contacts, and after being fired from the animation production company, he pulled the freelance original artists he knew together and established this animation studio, but he didn't have the idea of managing the studio well at all, regardless of the actual ability of the animation studio, he first accepted a large number of painting commissions from the outside world, and then let the original artist work overtime to complete it.

Ohnomatsu himself can get a lot of money, compared to the original artist himself can get a lot less employment money, in order to obtain more profits, the animation studio did not even sign a formal employment contract with the original artist.

This time he was very excited to win the cooperation with [Yuno Sora], he paid attention to the information of the industry and knew that [Yuu no Kong] was an affiliate of the famous animation production company [Edge of the Sky], if he could maintain a cooperative relationship with [Yu no Kong], Ohno Studio would definitely have a stable income and bright prospects in the future, everything was destroyed by the president of Ohno Studio in front of him, he didn't care about these at all, he only saw the high offer given by [Yu no Kong], After receiving the payment, he continued to accept other painting commissions despite the request for commission.

The whole studio was wiping his ass all the time.

"What's the matter, this is also their business, we can hand in the original painting." Ohnomatsu stared at the computer screen, the content displayed above is a strategy about making money in the pachinko, the so-called pachinko is a characteristic industry in the 11th district, similar mechanisms are similar to slot machines, the game currency has been changed to steel balls, the 11th district has been forbidden to gamble but the pachinko has always existed in this changing direction of the gambling industry, and now the marbles in the 11th district have developed into a huge industry, and countless people have gone bankrupt for this.

Kikura Asato stepped forward and tried to persuade him: "So the price has been set for us over there, and if we can't finish it on time, it's not appropriate to say anything..."

"It's okay, that's how animation is made, I originally stayed in the company for more than ten years, not to mention that we don't have other painting commissions at hand." Ohnomatsu seemed to be a little impatient, and his eyes were finally willing to leave the computer screen, and he turned his head to look at Kikura Asato and pretended to be heavy: "Kikura-kun, I know what you think, but our studio really doesn't have that much spare space." ”

Asato Kikura couldn't help but accentuate his tone: "That's why I pushed those painting commissions..."

"Kikura-kun!" Ohnomatsu slapped the table and was obviously impatient: "You are an old member of our studio, don't you still understand our situation!" Just finish the original painting as I asked! Then I will pay you the corresponding salary, and don't worry about the superfluous! ”

It's not like you're taking too many commissions to get more deposits!

Kikura Asato didn't say this, clenched his fists and finally let go helplessly, and his heart was completely dead to Ono Studio.

"Yes, then I'll go out first." Kikura Asato's expression turned to Mu Ran, preparing to leave the office.

"Ahhhh

Ono Matsu left the animation studio and returned to the public office, and Asato Kikura sat silently in his place, his body limp and weak, looking up at the ceiling with a blank expression, not sure what the point of staying here was.

"We will continue to work overtime this week, and we should be able to complete the rejection part." A former painter colleague came over and patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

The original artist who was painting in the corner of the office raised his head with dark circles under his eyes and laughed at himself: "That guy Ohno doesn't even consider the strength of our studio now, he has accepted three commissions this month and arranged them at the same time period, and it is impossible to complete overtime." ”

Asato Kikura put his right hand on his forehead to cover the light, and said for a long time: "I feel a little tired, and it shouldn't be a bad thing to resign now." ”

In Ono's studio, he couldn't see a glimmer of the future, and Ono Matsu's indifferent attitude made him feel more deep sadness than anger.

Yu Kamiya drove to a dilapidated office building with three floors and no decoration on the exterior wall to indicate the usefulness of the office building, and there were basically ordinary residential buildings all around, and there was no convenience store to find one. The so-called animation studio is also an important part of the animation production process, many animation studios are established by experienced and well-connected original producers, and then attract a group of original artists to lease a place to become an animation studio.

Low-cost, free-cost human resources are the biggest features, which are also indispensable things in the animation industry nowadays.

Most animation production companies prefer to take the form of cooperation to hand over animation production to freelance concept artists or animation studios, and it is very rare to have a formal company establishment in District 11, and the company itself needs to bear a considerable burden. Animation is a high-risk and high-reward industry, some old animation production companies are acceptable, if the strength of the animation production company once officially hired too many original artists, several animations and not blockbusters are easy to face a financial crisis, want to fire some of the original artists but also pay a lot of layoff costs.

This is no exception even for the [Edge-of-Sora] animation production company, which now has all the manpower to produce an animation, but it is limited to the human resources required to complete an animation in a quarter, and it still needs to outsource part of the work when it is busy.

If the animation studio develops well, the president can also attract an investment to produce animation to complete the transformation from animation studio to animation production company, and there are many animation production companies in the history of the industry that were previously unknown animation studios. However, the nature of the existence of animation studios determines that the quality of animation studios is uneven, and the basic quality of animation studios has become the bread and butter of the animation industry, and they can receive a lot of painting commissions every quarter, and those that cannot guarantee the quality can only be an obscure animation studio no matter how long it has been established.

Just like the one in front of Yu Kamiya, squeezing up from the narrow staircase, you can see the office space with a single door open on the second floor, the internal environment is not big and as cluttered as all animation production places, the messy animation files are piled up throughout the office space, you can see seven or eight casually dressed original artists sitting at their desks writing and drawing, and a strange smell comes to the nose before Yu Kamiya walks in.
