Chapter 375: Race Against Time (Ask for Subscription)

Peers guessed right.

The movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf Snake Comes to Run" project did go wrong, and it was a very serious one.

As a direct result, the post-production of the film, which was supposed to be completed in early December, is most likely to be postponed to March next year.

What's wrong?

Of course, it is the five major studios of Wanbao Animation, in addition to the "puppet studio", a large number of core employees have jumped ship.

The total number of people reached 207!

That's a staggering number, equivalent to a quarter of the staff at Manbao Animation.

It happened in mid-November.

Gu Miao was originally "pulling her hair" with the new director of Jiangchuan TV, and quarreled over "Sailor Moon R".

As a result, Ma Kui called and told him: The company is in danger, come back quickly!

Okay!

Gu Miao, who was originally on the road and just wanted to eat a river crab to supplement his development, looked back and saw that the crystals at home were almost gone, and he was suddenly frightened.

It's normal for someone to leave their jobs.

For a large company with a scale of 1,000 people like Wanbao Animation, the normal turnover of personnel happens almost every week.

But this time it was different.

There were more than 200 people who submitted their resignation reports before and after. And these two hundred people are all the core backbone of Wolfsburg Studio, Lightning Studio, Feiyang Studio and Dimension Studio.

In other words, these people are the mainstay of Wanbao.

It doesn't matter if you go one or two, or even a dozen or so are acceptable, but the loss of more than 200 people at this time is extremely exaggerated in terms of the impact on Wanbao Animation.

First problem......

It is a number of animation projects that are facing the problem of manpower shortage and doubling the construction period. For example, "Dragon Fighter 2" and "Lightbringer", which are currently in production, have closed the gates.

The second is the fluctuation of people's hearts.

The whereabouts of these departing employees have also been investigated by Gu Miao. They are all targets of poaching, and the company that poached people is called "Plum Blossom Anime".

This is a brand new company that has just been established in China Shipping.

Don't look at it as a brand new company, but this plum blossom animation is backed by one of the top Internet giants in China. According to rumors, its major shareholder is the son of a wealthy man.

Well, the background is a bit bite!

The major shareholder is the son of the top ten richest people in China, and the second shareholder is an Internet giant whose hard power is not inferior to Mr. Tan.

This financial strength is so abundant, it is estimated that there is no need to say more.

When a company of this magnitude is established, even if the treatment is very ordinary, it is estimated that many people rush to "defect" and fight for a "dragon gong".

Not to mention, Meihua Animation is menacing, and in order to poach people, it has offered an unprecedented super high salary and salary in the industry.

Now it's all right.

Originally, the salary level was average, and the background alone could attract many talents to defect, but as a result, they also paid a high price to poach people, and it is reasonable that Wanbao can't stop it.

After Gu Miao understood the situation, he immediately made two decisions.

The first is to increase the salary!

The other party is menacing, and he has already poached so many people while he is unprepared. If you sit back and ignore it any longer, Wanbao Animation is afraid that it will be hollowed out.

The second is to look for foreign aid!

Wanbao Animation is an animation company that does not rely much on "outsourcing". Because Gu Miao feels that the level of domestic animation outsourcing is uneven, and it is difficult to control the quality of works.

Under normal circumstances, he would rather spend more money and hire more people than outsource the core part of the work to other work production.

Of course, he's talking about the core part.

Like some irrelevant content, or repetitive processes, he often looks for outsourcing, and he finds more than N teams.

Now the situation is different.

Wanbao has a serious brain drain, and many projects are facing "shutdown". In this case, Gu Miao had to relax the restrictions and hire more outsourcing teams to participate in the production of the core part of the animation.

Let's take an analogy.

In the past, it was Wanbao who did 80% of the work, and the remaining 20% of the dirty work was all thrown to the outsourcing team, so that they could earn a little "hard-earned money".

Now Wanbao is seriously understaffed, can only do 50% or even less of the work, and the rest of the work can only be handed over to the outsourcing team, otherwise the construction period will be seriously delayed.

Small kiosk app

Konjac Animation is one of the outsourcing teams contacted by Gu Miao.

In fact, Konjac Animation is not an outsourced animation company, and the reason why Gu Miao contacted them was mainly because he felt that the hard power of Konjac Animation was okay.

Although there is a shortage of people, he has not yet reached the point of "hunger".

Not all outsourcing teams can be recognized by Gu Miao and win the subcontracting tasks given by Wanbao Animation.

You have to sift through it!

Including Zhonghai Konjac Animation, Gu Miao contacted a total of seven outsourcing animation companies, and finally filled the existing vacancy.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Like Konjac Animation, a powerful and trustworthy partner, Gu Miao is not particularly worried.

But there are partners, and the animation production strength is really average. Short-term cooperation is okay, if long-term cooperation, Gu Miao is really worried that there will be problems.

We still have to absorb fresh blood.

For this matter, Gu Miao recently put down the publicity and distribution arrangements for the movie "The Snake Comes to Run", and went to Jiangchuan University several times in succession.

Even Xiao Guo was pulled by him.

He used Guo Hongwei as an example to tell the students who are still in school: As long as you have the ability, you can be like Guo Hongwei, from an "intern" to a "big director" with an annual salary of millions in just one year.

Boy!

Living examples are in front of them, and the students who have not yet stepped out of the school gate can be said to be excited.

All of a sudden, the number of students who signed up for internships at Wanbao Animation surged several times.

Gu Miao smiled so much that her face was crooked.

Guo Hongwei, who smiled all the way and served as a "human flesh propaganda poster" for the master, rubbed his face after returning to the company and said, "Isn't this fooling people?" ”

"Nonsense!"

Gu Miao retorted: "How did I fool people? Didn't you go from an intern to a great director? ”

Can the same be the case?

How many geniuses can there be like him? If everyone can be "promoted" like him, isn't it a complete mess?

It can only be said that the master is too good at drawing cakes.

After taking a sip of water, Guo Hongwei asked with a long sigh of relief: "With this batch of interns joining and an outsourcing team, the movie should be released as scheduled, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Gu Miao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Why is he in a hurry? In addition to not wanting to skip tickets and delay the release of the Spring Festival stalls, there is another very important reason.

That is the fulfillment of the promise he promised Pfizer Zhang's children.

If it weren't for this commitment, how could Gu Miao be so anxious to find an outsourcing team, and how would he personally pull interns?

The reason for doing all this is to ensure that the movie is released on schedule. Because of the movie skipping tickets, Pfizer Zhang's children may really not have a chance to see it.

Every time she thought about it, Gu Miao's mood was very heavy, and there was always an unspeakable pressure.

Because......

He's in a race against time!
