Chapter 427: Sound Studio
So much so that when watching cartoons, many viewers will choose the Japanese dubbed version that they don't understand and read the subtitles, rather than the original Chinese dubbed version.
So if they want to continue to go long in this area, they can't avoid the shortcomings in this area.
Since you can't avoid it, face it bravely. Han Li believes that with the continuous increase of their investment in this area, a group of usable sound talents will definitely be cultivated.
Considering so many reasons, Han Li felt that the construction of the sound project team should be strengthened. The first was to fulfill his previous promise to upgrade the sound project team to a sound studio.
When Han Li announced this, the members of the sound project team cheered one after another. For them, it was the beginning of their dreams.
You must know that in China, voice actors are not very valued, and the salary of domestic first-line stars for making a TV series or movie may reach tens of millions.
And the domestic first-line voice actors, excellent voice actors who dub for many actors, their salaries may only be hundreds of thousands, and the highest is only millions.
This huge gap in the middle has also caused the loss of a large number of voice actors. Like some ordinary voice actors with dreams, they are struggling to survive in this industry.
Aside from the voice actors, the foley and soundtrack artists in the sound studio are the same. Especially with the development of the Internet and MP3, especially the proliferation of pirated music on the Internet.
As a result, many music companies that used to make money by selling cassette albums have closed down, and a large number of outstanding professionals engaged in music have lost their jobs.
And the year also coincides with this period. In fact, the domestic music industry did not go down, but was silent for a few years. It was not until later that the country attached great importance to online copyright and the proliferation of various music programs that the music industry was revitalized.
Although it is said to be revitalized, it is far from the era when music was hot more than ten years ago.
The seventeen people in the sound studio were the best in the original work of sound and music, and they were also carefully selected by the human resources department from many applicants.
Yao Yufeng, 40 years old, is a professional music producer who has scored music for many film and television dramas. It is said that the name Yao Yufeng was changed by himself when he was 16 years old.
He originally scored the music for film and television dramas, and his life was not bad. However, he is always just an independent music producer, although he is responsible for many film and television drama soundtrack projects, but his income is very unstable.
In particular, there are many practitioners like him in China, so the competition is fierce. Then there is the deformity of the development of the domestic film and television industry, and the creation of some film and television dramas is completely dependent on the director's personal preference.
The same is true for soundtracks, some directors have their own fixed soundtrack artists, and they will not change easily. Some pursue luxury, and are not used by non-domestic and international soundtrack masters.
So this also leads to people like him who can't go up or down, and the living space is actually very small.
If he just lived by himself, then Yao Yufeng would definitely live a very comfortable life. But because of an incident that happened last year, his life changed.
He falls in love with a schoolgirl with whom he is studying music, and soon the woman discovers that she is pregnant. All this came very suddenly, which made Yao Yufeng a little unacceptable.
But he is nearly forty years old, and he really doesn't want the woman to beat the child. So after some ideological struggle, he married a girl who was sixteen years younger than him, and soon had their children.
The pressures of life forced Yao Yufeng to start working hard, but the unstable income caused him to quarrel often with his petite wife.
So due to family pressure, he had to find a stable job.
At this time, he saw Han Li's company recruiting talents in this area, so he planned to give it a try.
With rich experience and soundtracks for several film and television dramas, he passed the interview with excellence and became a soundtrack artist in the company.
After the integration of the sound project team, because of his good ability and rich experience, he served as the leader of the sound project team.
And this time the sound project team was upgraded to a sound studio, and it stands to reason that the experience of this studio should also be his.
However, unlike the sound project team, the sound studio will be more complex and will be responsible for much more things than the project team would have been.
Therefore, it is necessary for the person in charge of the sound studio to not only understand the knowledge of music, but also to be able to manage and manage well. So from this point of view, Yao Yufeng is a little inappropriate.
However, his previous performance did not prevent him from becoming the technical director of the sound studio, responsible for the production and technical supervision of all the projects under the studio.
As for the manager of the sound studio, there is no suitable candidate yet, so the human resources department can only recruit from outside. Regarding this aspect, Han Li prefers the agents of some singers or musicians. These people have a wealth of experience in the industry and have led teams, so they are suitable for this position.
For Han Li, they needed such a person to take on the sound studio.
For professionals like Yao Yufeng, this manager is, to put it bluntly, their big housekeeper, responsible for their logistics support.
After the establishment of the sound studio, it will be divided into three departments, which will be responsible for the work in the three fields of dubbing, foley, and soundtrack.
Each of the three departments has its own project director, who is responsible for its own affairs, independent of each other, and does not interfere with each other. Of course, after there is a project, the three departments will also draw the manpower of their respective departments to form a temporary project team to be responsible for the relevant project.
According to the development blueprint of Han Li, the original intention of the establishment of the sound studio, as well as its main task in the future, is to provide services for the projects of various departments of the company.
In the future, as the company's projects become more and more, a professional team will be needed to be responsible for the sound. Despite setting up their own sound studio, the pressure to take on so many projects was very high.
In addition, since the sound studio has been established, it will also remain independent, the so-called independence, in addition to independent operation, independent management, and independent revenue.
This means that in the future, the salaries and benefits of all employees of the sound studio will be closely related to the development of the studio, and they must not work hard.
So Han Li once again promised them that if the development of the sound studio entered the regular in the future. He allowed the sound studio to take on projects outside of the company after completing the company's projects.
What this promise meant, these people knew very well, and Han Li could clearly feel the excited affection on their faces.
In addition to this accident, Han Li also threw a bombshell to these seventeen people. This is to recognise the outstanding performance of the previous 17 employees and to motivate them to continue their efforts. After the sound studio is established, Han Li will reward them with 10% of the studio's revenue profits as dry shares.
As long as they don't leave their jobs and continue to work in the studio, then the 10% dividend will always belong to them. Of course, as long as they don't leave their jobs, but they don't make mistakes to the detriment of the studio and the company.
