Chapter 008. Ningda Seminar

Push forward a day a bit, back to Monday night.

When Liu Xueyan and Zhang Ke came back from eating at a noodle restaurant near the park, they received a message from Fang Yuan, editor-in-chief of Tomato Video Network, on the enterprise communication software.

Fang Yuan is the leader in charge of the video business and animation production business, and is Liu Xueyan's immediate boss.

Fang Yuan: Xue Yan, did you have a video with a lot of clicks in your animation area today, it seems that it is still a college student's graduation?

Xue Yan: That's right, Mr. Yuan, I'm going to put on an ad for him tomorrow, I haven't seen this kind of hot video for a long time.

Fang Yuan: I remember that this exhibition was a collaboration between us and Ningbo University, right?

Xue Yan: Yes, we provide them with a certain amount of sponsorship, select outstanding graduates in the form of public displays, and sign contracts with our production companies, which we have been doing for the past few years.

Fang Yuan: Then hurry up and contact this producer and try to sign him in advance, I remember that a few years ago, a good newcomer in Ning University was poached by Mushroom Pictures, we can't do this kind of thing again!

Fang Yuan: Let him sign into Rainbow Media, I don't believe it, there are still people who can refuse Rainbow Media's offer!

When Liu Xueyan saw his boss's words, he remembered that there was indeed such a thing, at that time, the powerful newcomer of Ning University was directly poached by the opponent of Tomato Video Network, Mushroom Video Network, and now he is the strength of Mushroom Pictures.

Rainbow Media is the animation company under Tomato Video Network, recognized as the first in the industry, and the theatrical version of the animation produced every year can win numerous awards internationally, with a double reputation at the box office, not to mention undergraduates, even if they are masters who have been in the industry for several years, they may not be able to enter this company.

In Xu Rui's words, Rainbow Media is the Pixar studio of this world, the apex of all animators' dreams.

"That's too much grudge......"

Liu Xueyan twitched the corner of his mouth, his boss likes to do it against the group of people in the mushroom video, but he didn't expect the hatred of a few years ago, and he still remembers it.

After thinking about it, he immediately tapped the keyboard in reply.

Xue Yan: Mr. Yuan, I understand, so we haven't directly marked the names of students in the past two years, so as not to be dug by others.

Xueyan: I'll immediately contact the interface person and find this author in advance.

Fang Yuan: Go ahead.

After replying to the conversation, Liu Xueyan frowned.

He is the editor of the animation area, and the bloggers he usually contacts are directly submitted videos, including some clips, commentary, and recommendations, but this student of Ningbo University is obviously going to sign into the animation production company under the tomato video network, and it has nothing to do with the animation area he is responsible for.

It's really a pot from the sky.

Liu Xueyan sighed, glanced at Zhang Ke next to him, this little girl didn't know what medicine she had taken, she was very excited from just now, and she was still humming a small tune in her mouth, and if you listen carefully, it is the background music of the Voice of the Stars.

"Forget it, let's get in touch first."

Liu Xueyan said to himself, opened the address book, and found the phone number of Professor Zhou, who was the animation major of Lining University, who was connected with him to promote this public display.

Before making the call, Liu Xueyan looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, thinking that it seemed a bit of a fuss to call so late just to ask for a student's contact information, Liu Xueyan put down the phone again.

"Otherwise, I'll contact you tomorrow...... Oh yes, there's a talk tomorrow. ”

Liu Xueyan glanced at the note on the desk, which read "May 9th, Ningda Propaganda Conference".

This is the graduate information meeting held by Tomato Video Network in Ningjiang University, this kind of activity is normal in the graduation season, usually there will be large-scale spring recruitment in March and April, and various companies will absorb a group of graduates at the spring job fair.

And some large companies led by Tomato Video Network,It will only start recruiting in May,Tomorrow is an independent propaganda meeting,Liu Xueyan was supposed to participate as the person in charge of the content side,Tonight I almost forgot because there were too many things。

"Why don't you ask tomorrow at the briefing."

Even if this animator is really a genius, it is not his Liu Xueyan subordinate who recruited Tomato Video Network, so he is not so enthusiastic, he is only a little curious, what kind of genius is the college student who can produce such an animation.

......

The shadows of the trees on the iconic Wutong Avenue of Ningbo University can be seen from time to time couples walking hand in hand towards the library, Xu Rui carried a bag and turned into the large classroom of Building 2 with a familiar car.

The classroom, which can accommodate more than 400 people, is already full at the moment.

The fresh graduates of the School of Animation of Ningjiang University came here early, except for the postgraduate entrance examination and those who have found jobs, the remaining more than 300 senior students are basically guys with excellent grades, and their goal is very clear, that is, to enter Tomato Video Network and other large companies.

Originally, the lecture should have been voluntary, but Professor Zhou asked students who did not get an offer to participate, and they had to sign in for attendance, so Xu Rui rushed back from the old phantom animation and hurried back to the school.

"Why did you come so late, find a place to sit down."

Professor Zhou stood at the door, looking at Xu Rui, who was late, and frowned.

After signing in, Xu Rui finally found a corner position, and before the bench was hot, he saw Professor Zhou quickly come to the podium, said a few words of commercial praise, and then invited a recruiter from Tomato Video Network to give a speech.

Xu Rui didn't listen much, because the people around him were a little noisy to be honest.

"How many tomatoes can you get this year? Last year I remember it was twelve? ”

"Fourteen, to count the few who entered the technical department, but what's the point, I remember that Rainbow Media has recruited one or two fresh graduates in the past ten years, and they can't be the first in the industry, what's the difference between them and salted fish."

"Don't blow it, don't talk about Rainbow Media, if Tomato Manufacturing sends you an offer, don't you want to run around and kneel and lick it?"

"There are more than 100 people in our year, and I don't know if there are ten people who can enter tomato manufacturing."

"But this year's animation design seems to be very strong, that Zhang Ran, he is on the scholarship list every time, I have seen his completion, it is too strong."

"He's sure he can get in tomatoes, and his girlfriend should be able to get in too, it's so cool."

"It should be no problem for him to enter the tomato manufacturing, Rainbow Media will dream, people will not send anyone to the lecture at all."

"Speaking of which, this exhibition seems a bit strange, I see a video with a particularly high click, I guess it's Zhang Ran."

"Huh? I didn't pay attention.,It's not a formality.。 ”

Xu Rui glanced at it, Zhang Ran was sitting in the third row, calm, and his girlfriend He Shuyi was sitting on the side, both of them were top students, and almost all of them were in the top five grades.

The information meeting is very boring, roughly these employees of Tomato Video Network tout their own websites, and then talk about some benefits, the person who speaks is estimated to be the company's HR, who has experienced many such scenes, and is at ease.

Liu Xueyan was also a little sleepy, thinking that these graduates would be pulled into Tomato Manufacturing, an animation company under Tomato Video Network, as coolies, and he couldn't afford to mention it.

Just as HR finished speaking and entered the next free Q&A session, Liu Xueyan found Professor Zhou.

"Professor Zhou, hello, I'm Liu Xueyan from the animation group of Tomato Video Network, and I have contacted you on the phone before."

He said with some respect.

"Oh, Xiao Liu, what's the matter?"

Professor Zhou lifted his glasses and looked the man in front of him up and down.

"That's the case, didn't Ning University also set up a show in our district this year, there is a video with very good data, I have also seen it, and it is very good, you know, we want to lock in some outstanding graduates in advance through this display to enter the animation company of Tomato Video Network, so I want to contact this person in advance."

Liu Xueyan put on a business posture and said politely.

"The data is exceptional?"

Hearing Liu Xueyan's words, Professor Zhou was a little puzzled, he didn't go to the webpage after uploading it yesterday, after all, according to past experience, until the end of the two-week exhibition, the clicks of these completed videos were only one or two hundred thousand top days, which is not a "particularly good" data.

"That's right, this video was released at noon, and by the evening, it had 500,000 clicks, 300,000 recommendations, we have confirmed it in the background, it is all real data, I also checked it, this video is also on Weibo, and it is estimated that the popularity will continue to rise in the next two days."

Liu Xueyan said, he saw Professor Zhou's eyes light up significantly.

"500,000 hits !?"

Professor Zhou almost didn't stand firm, he knew very well what it was to have 500,000 views on a finished video, which was already the data of popular videos.

But in the case of newcomers and no recommendation, it can rise to 500,000 hits in one afternoon, to be honest, Professor Zhou is not sure.

Because he's never seen such a monstrous video.

Zhang Ran's video has half a million views? That's an exaggeration, right?

Did you really find a treasure?

Professor Zhou recalled Zhang Ran's video, although it was impeccable, it didn't seem so simple to form a topic.

Liu Xueyan was very surprised when he saw Professor Zhou, and added.

"Our boss said that he can directly sign a contract with Rainbow Media."

This time, Professor Zhou became even more excited.

Rainbow Media! If I can teach a student who graduated from undergraduate school and entered Rainbow Media, it will be enough to blow for ten years, it is the top in the industry, and it is the dream team of legends.

"Xiao Liu, he is my best student, I have long seen his strength."

Although it was a bit foggy, it was not clear why Rainbow Media would extend an olive branch this time, but Professor Zhou still replied, with a smile on his face unconsciously, and glanced at Zhang Ran, who had just chatted with someone from the animation production department of Tomato Video Network.

"That's great, Professor Zhou, your vision is absolutely fine, so can you let me talk to him?"

Liu Xueyan followed Professor Zhou's gaze, but didn't find anyone very special.

"Absolutely."

Professor Zhou nodded repeatedly, and then waved his hand over there.

"Zhang Ran, come over here."
