Chapter 112: Company Expansion (3)
After turning around twice on the fourteenth floor, Xiao Zhang, who finally felt that something was wrong, hurriedly went downstairs again, and finally found the right place after some twists and turns.
"Excuse me, but is this DreamWorks recruiting office?" Zhang Chengcai asked while looking for a clerk girl.
"yes, but it's almost time to get off work now, so come back in the afternoon." Ali looked at the sweaty young man and said.
Xiao Zhang wailed, and he still missed it after tossing for a long time.
That dead black man, did Lao Tzu provoke you? You'd better not let me see it next time.
Thinking back to the previous scene now, Xiao Zhang is very sure that the guy did it on purpose. But I don't have a problem with others, so I can only scold a few words in my heart.
"By the way, is your company's screenwriter recruitment full?" Anyway, I missed it, Xiao Zhang was not in a hurry, and pulled the female clerk to set up the information.
"Other positions have been recruited, but the screenwriters are not full yet, and the special effects department and animation department are still recruiting." Ali has also experienced the pain of finding a job, and she is not impatient with those candidates who ask for the 'insider'.
"Oh, aren't there many screenwriters?"
"How can it be, the resume is almost full of tables, and the company's requirements for screenwriters are relatively high. Roughly calculated, there should be no less than two or three hundred people who apply for screenwriters, and only four of the ten positions are now recruited. ”
4 out of 300? It's another frightening rate. But if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have had a chance, would I?
"Do you need professional screenwriting experience to be selected?"
"No, one of the applicants was a middle school dropout with no previous formal work experience. I haven't shown any works either. Xiaoli patiently replied: "In fact, half of the screenwriters who came to apply for screenwriting had more than three years of screenwriting experience, and many of them had also expressed film and television works." ”
"Never worked as a screenwriter or written an article? So why was he selected? Zhang Chengcai is inevitably strange. It's hard to imagine that such a person can stand out.
"I made up stories on the spot, and his stories were very innovative. Exceptionally selected. Unless there is already an excellent work on the market and it can be proven that it was written by me, it is the on-site screenwriter who selects the staff. ”
Make up stories on the spot? That's the 'proposition composition', this Xiao Zhang is not sure, but it is also a good thing for himself, at least in this way, he is on the same starting line as most people.
"What kind of assessment method?"
"Write a short essay about four to ten minutes in length, with a time limit of four hours, and you can submit it early. The subject matter is determined by the examiner. There are already about twenty people who have signed up in the morning, so you'd better hurry up and eat now. Come back before 1 p.m. to sign up, and then you can register, now hurry up and take a break. ”
The question was almost asked, Xiao Zhang thanked him, and casually found a place to recuperate. He wasn't going to eat lunch, and when he was hungry, his mind was more active than usual, as he had experienced when he was coding words before. Instead of rushing to eat, take a break from your mind now.
Xiao Zhang tried hard to control his thinking, not to guess the exam questions, and try to gain some advantages for himself. The proposition essay is a big chance thing. Guessing dizziness doesn't necessarily have an effect
"Huang Yilang wants to adapt his work into animation?"
Hearing the news at first glance, Li Xuechu was really surprised. But it's normal to think about it, what cartoonist doesn't want his work to be seen by more people? The habit of reading books and newspapers in Xiangjiang has been maintained quite well, and dozens of newspapers and magazines have been spawned in places with millions of people. However, the audience of books and newspapers cannot catch up with the TV crowd.
Making zuò into animation means doubling the audience, and it is more conducive to promotion to the outside world. There are also corresponding peripheral markets such as toys. The popularity of Transformers is due to the innovation of the subject matter, which is unrepeatable in a certain way. And now that there are competitors, in the end, who can occupy a bigger market still depends on the quality of the cartoon. Whose animation is popular, whose market share is high.
"He has a lot of comic club works, do you say which comic?"
"I haven't said it yet, but I'll know when I think about it. I guess it's a mechwarrior first. Tang Jingnian guessed.
"I think so, forget it, let's talk about it in the evening."
"Okay, then Mr. Li, are you going to attend the banquet in the evening?"
"Of course you should go, it's always bad if you don't go, and I don't have anything to do at night anyway."
Chinese people value face the most, and if you don't go, it's an offending thing after all, although in your current situation, even if you don't care about people in the film and comic circles at all, others are okay, but it is inevitable that it will be a little bad in private.
Dragon Tiger Gate is Huang Yilang's most important masterpiece, but if this work is to be changed into animation, it will inevitably be boycotted and protested by the media, parents, and schools, but the mecha warrior has no such concerns, not to mention the main body of toy sales, which is the main body of foreign exchange earning, Dragon Tiger Gate does not have much peripheral potential.
Putting down the phone, Li Xuechu didn't know how to describe his current mood when he was a junior high. At least in the film and comics industry, history has been changed beyond recognition by itself. If it continues like this, I don't know what it will become in a few years. However, it is foreseeable that the golden age of the film industry is expected to come early.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xuechu simply drove to the DreamWorks Building.
After moving to the new location, DreamWorks' office space expanded dozens of times at once, and it couldn't be more empty. Although it is not new for a company to occupy a building, it is not common in Xiangjiang, where industry is dying. In Xiangjiang, where finance and trade are the mainstay, dozens of companies are usually stationed in a building.
Li Xuechu's original idea was that Oriental DreamWorks and Longteng Technology each occupied a high-rise building, but after seeing the actual scene, he could only change the problem of great success and move the two companies to one place. If you want to fill two high-rise buildings, you have to recruit at least thousands of people, and then the pressure will be great.
Even so, the DreamWorks building was still unbelievably spacious, and staff expansion was imperative.
The four branches of film, comic animation, special effects, and music barely occupied six floors, and the head office occupied two floors, and only eight floors. Longteng Technology is even less, after all, it only focuses on software development and product sales, and three layers are more than enough. A 30-story building with less than half of the floors filled. In the end, there was no way, and a few small companies with cooperative relationships were pulled in, which alleviated the embarrassment of being empty enough to raise rats.
"It's really troublesome, I knew I wouldn't buy such a big building, so I might as well buy more movie theaters." Li Xuechu cried out bitterly
Li Xuechu's sudden arrival made the company nervous, snacks and newspapers were hurriedly put into drawers, and those who picked their feet and stood on the desk also put away their indecent movements, and sat up straight. So after Li Xuechu came in, everywhere he looked, there was a rush of hard work.
"Mr. Tang, our company's business is not so busy now, is it?"
"Huh? Hehe, everyone is working hard, and our company's performance must be good this year. Tang Jingnian also felt that after a little while, in addition to being in charge of the relocation during this time, there were really not many things in other departments. But don't talk about others, you have to act like yourself in front of your boss.
Li Xuechu, who was also a hard-working man in the office in his previous life, has long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of people in the office, except for the occasional busy business, most of the times when he seems to be very busy are the time when the boss comes to inspect. But it's okay, if you come by yourself, employees still love to ignore their own small talk, and they may not be happy in their hearts.
"During this time, I recruited a lot of novices, and it will take a little time to get familiar with the business. After a while, the company's efficiency will definitely go to the next level. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Xuechu expressed his appreciation in a timely manner.
"Mr. Li, let's go upstairs and take a look, the screenwriting team is recruiting new members, and I don't know how it's going now."
Tang Jingnian held back his glance at an office worker who was writing Tang poems and Song lyrics silently, and sweated. It's better to break the boss away, or it will be embarrassing if you don't show your stuffing.
"Isn't it full yet? It can't be that there are too few applicants, right? ”
"How can it be, there are no less than 300 applicants, but Manager Liu's requirements are relatively high, so only half of the screenwriters have been recruited so far. The treatment of our company is so good, and the company is also famous, and there are many people who want to come in. Tang Jingnian defended a few words, but then complained: "However, Manager Liu's requirements may be higher, and many professional screenwriters are very powerful if they look at their resumes, but they still failed." ”
"Let him come if it's handed over to him, this department would rather be lacking than overutilized."
"Mr. Li is right."
Li Xuechu still attaches great importance to the screenwriting team, after all, normally speaking, this unit is the source of creation of the film company, and it is too wasteful to polish his own works, and it is not a normal company's style. Now DreamWorks is rich and famous. Li Xuechu is looking forward to this unit being able to create a boutique that he has never seen in later generations.
"Let's go, go up and have a look." (To be continued......)
