Animation is often not done by a single company alone, and when a company is short on manpower, it needs to be outsourced.

There are two types of outsourcing, one is called meta-invitation, which is to outsource animation to a certain company.

The other is called the next invitation, which means that the outsourcing company will subcontract the task to another outsourcing company, because its own company will definitely need to make money, so there will be a price difference.

The price of outsourcing is lower than the normal price, and the price of subcontracting is even lower. Of course, the result of a cheap price is low quality.

And this is the problem they are currently encountering in the future.

"Well, we are also short of manpower on our side, so we had to ask someone else for help. There really isn't a lot of manpower available right now. On the other end of the phone, the man hurriedly explained.

Hosoda was already a little angry, but suppressed his anger and whispered, "We're old friends, don't hurt me." You know how important this time is to me, I only have one chance. I really can't make any mistakes, and if I fail, it's all over! ”

"I know that, but we really don't have anyone left, and I'm already putting pressure on them. But you don't have to worry, it's okay if it's almost done. Rather, it's just right. You haven't touched an animation in a few years, especially if you haven't touched this kind of animation, you don't know, even if it's almost played, the audience won't care. And ah, this can just happen to increase sales! ”

"What kind of sales can be increased, how can there be a reason to increase sales by doing bad work!"

Hosoda couldn't help but snort angrily.

The voice over there explained, "So you're outdated, and the idea of making a beautiful animation to sell is outdated." The most popular practice now is to sell the revised version when it is broadcast, not to take it too seriously, and when it is time to sell the anime. That way, you have time to make amends. The audience feels that they have bought more exquisite animations and have a better experience. So, everyone is happy, so why not? ”

Hosoda couldn't help but be stunned.

Just as he was hesitating, the other end of the phone said, "So think about it, I'll hang up first." ”

"Hey!"

Hosoda was about to ask again, but the phone had already hung up, and he was about to dial it back, but his hand stopped.

Not far away, Miyako Kitada was looking at Hosoda Go, Hosoda Go, who sighed, sat down in his seat dejectedly, waved his hand and said, "Let Nishida rest first." ”

Miyako Kitada glanced at Hosoda Go, but after all, her worries about Nishida outweighed her worries about the quality of the animation, and she turned around and ran towards the studio where the painting supervisor was.

Yukiko couldn't help but say angrily: "Such a guy, I really want to sue him." ”

"I'm sorry, I really made a mistake this time."

Hosoda said uncontrollably.

"Or let's switch to an outsourcing company." Yukiko suggested.

"It's not good, let's not talk about where there are companies that just have manpower, and the level must be able to be guaranteed, it's too difficult." Hosoda knows that most of the powerful companies have tasks, and it is difficult to have a schedule, and most of the companies with a schedule are not strong. It's not easy to use.

Moreover, this is a substitution on the spot, and the time is too short.

It's not good to want to sue the outsourcing company, because the outsourcing work, they do it, but the quality is slightly worse. This is obviously not sufficient evidence of their breach of contract.

Therefore, despite the great popularity, he did not say that he would not let that company continue.

"There is no problem with my painting skills, I will also serve as a supervisor to correct it, and if I have it, Nishida will have more time to rest."

Hosoda couldn't help but make such a decision.

"But you still have a job of oversight."

"I'll pay attention to that as well." Hosoda said, also a little hesitant.

"It's not a good thing to have more painting supervision, and the more painting supervision you have, the harder it is to control your style." ”

A painting supervisor is a person who makes changes to the original drawing, and in general, the original painting sometimes collapses or is different from the setting. Or maybe the characters aren't cute enough. At this time, it is necessary to make corrections by the painting supervisor. If you want to see cute girls, be sure to choose a good painting supervisor. Sometimes, the girls in the first season of the animation are picturesque, and they look similar in the second season, but it just makes people feel that they are not the same as the first season, and the biggest reason is because of the change of painting supervisor.

However, more painting supervision is not always better, there are two reasons for this, one is that the work of painting supervision is to correct, and more painting supervision means more mistakes. The second reason is that the personal style of the painting supervisor is also different, and even if it is modified, it will be modified with personal characteristics, and when they are revised together in the same episode, the style will not be uniform. So when you see a long list of painting supervisors or assistants in a certain episode, it often means that the episode is hopeless.

"It's okay, Nishida and I have very similar styles, after all, we both learn the same teacher."

"Well, now that the Shameless Moon has come to an end, it's time for the vacant manpower to help." It was supposed to give them a break, but someone had to use it if the situation was urgent. The future made a decision.

"What are you?"

Hosoda asked suspiciously.

"I thought about it, once we compromise with them, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with them in the future. So forget about this episode, the number of episodes after that must be replaced. Because the number of episodes in the future is already more critical. "The future has voiced his concerns. It's okay to be hurt once, but it's too uncomfortable to endure others being nauseated again and again.

"But if you move like this, there will always be a shortage of manpower, and there will always be places to fill in the gaps. And, in this way, we are in breach of contract first. Hosoda has already begun to worry about the outsourcing company's backlash.

If these things break out, it is likely that their production team will suffer in the end.

"It's okay, I'm going to terminate the contract with them, I think, no matter how there is no bottom, it won't embarrass a child!"

"Even so, we still lack manpower, and this cannot be solved by management or eloquence. No matter how much they try to boost morale, they are still human beings after all, and we have to find new people. ”

Hosoda is very worried, if this problem is not solved, then the animation will not be able to be done at all. Other procedures cannot be completed with the current manpower. However, these procedures for coloring the original painting must be done by talents. Even if you recruit people temporarily, it is difficult to recruit a large number of suitable concept artists and animators.

At this time, Yukiko suddenly spoke: "If you talk about human manpower, very experienced original artists and animators can be found." We can borrow a group of people temporarily. ”

"Who?"

Hosoda couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"It's studio.deen, which is the animation club that my future grandfather has been working with before, and the relationship between the two sides is very good. We did outsourcing before, and we took it from this company. ”

"It's great to be a big company officially. But ......"

Hosoda couldn't help but groan, of course there was no problem with this company, and it was even beyond his imagination. He was looking for an outsourcing company, and it turned out that Kiko was a big company that could produce animation, had a lot of experience, and had produced many excellent animations. He also does not doubt the manpower problem of this company, and it is still easy for large companies to move some people out.

The question is, can someone agree to borrow?

In particular, the younger brother who was originally taking over the work under someone else suddenly said one day that he wanted to work for the former eldest brother. Can this big brother endure it?

Hosoda thought about it for a moment, if he went to Toei now, he said, can you lend me some manpower. Toei is already tolerant if he doesn't beat him to death.

"However, they have conditions."

Yukiko continued.

Her eyes were on the future.

"They want you." (To be continued.) )
