There is no deadline for the production of the anime "Guardian of Sheep Village", and it stands to reason that the progress will be slower than expected.

But actually......

Since the last time Gu Miao held a meeting and said that he would fire some of the guys who were fishing and paddling, the production team has been enthusiastic about their work, and the progress has more than doubled as planned!

He can't fix it.

Usually, when there is a time limit, one is more grinding than the other, and it is impossible to complete it ahead of schedule if it is less than the specified time.

As a result, there was no deadline for this time, and the work was done faster than usual, and the quality of the material was better than usual.

What does this mean?

It shows that in order to keep their jobs and avoid becoming the target of the company's layoffs, they are really desperate to go to work.

"It's good to have a sense of crisis!"

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "A very interesting fact is that the work attitude of employees before and after the layoff is simply turned upside down. ”

Wanbao has never laid off employees before, so many employees have the idea of getting by, and they are purely messing around at work, and they are proper black sheep.

Since Wanbao began to lay off employees, and laid off more than 200 people in one go, it can be clearly seen that the company's atmosphere has improved a lot.

Usually depressed at work, from time to time I pick up my mobile phone to look at the time, thinking about what to eat after work, and now my attitude is more and more correct, for fear that I will be included in the layoff list and lose this decent job in the eyes of relatives and friends.

"It's long overdue."

Gu Miao said angrily: "In the past, the company's development speed was too fast, and the talent pool couldn't keep up, so I tried my best to recruit people, and those who came did not refuse." ”

What's going on now?

Wanbao's talent pool has kept up with the company's development speed, and there is even overflow.

In this case, it is natural to change the strategy from "those who come do not refuse" to "merit-based admission".

"Tell the personnel department to set the threshold for school recruitment and social recruitment higher, and don't recruit everyone."

Speaking of this, Gu Miao was also angry.

I don't know which guy made the wild list, but it actually said that Wanbao Animation is one of the companies with the lowest average education in the domestic animation industry.

Isn't this pure nonsense?

The source of his data is completely estimated according to the "recruitment standards" of major enterprises, but how big is Wanbao? Can the employment standard be the same as that of a small workshop?

But one thing is quite right.

There are too many Wanbao people, and a large number of animation professionals have gathered, among which there are mixed good and bad, and there are indeed some people who are dragging their feet.

What Gu Miao needs to do now is not to blindly expand, but to rectify personnel administration, eliminate those indiscriminate guys within the company, and improve the work efficiency of each studio.

The Wolfsburg studio is particularly important.

As a subsidiary of Wanbao Animation, with the largest number of core employees and the largest independent studio, the chaos of Wolfsburg Studio has long been known.

With a team of nearly 500 people, it's too big to be honest.

Dismembering the Wolfsburg Studio and optimizing the staffing has become the consensus of the top management of Wanbao Animation.

Wanbao's current staffing is very embarrassing, with ace teams such as Wolfsburg Studios having a total of nearly five hundred people, while marginal teams like Puppet Studios are only about thirty people at full.

After several rounds of personnel transfers, cold projects, and budget cuts, Lightning Studios now has only 18 core members.

How can this work?

……

Optimizing the company's staffing and dismembering the largest and bloated Wolfsburg studio became one of the most important tasks of Wanbao Animation in April.

There's an old saying in the industry that personnel changes will inevitably affect animation projects that are in production.

In order to reduce the impact as much as possible and reduce the interference to each animation project, Gu Miao and Lao Zhang thought of a way.

Suppose employee A is working on an animation project, then wait for him to finish the project before executing the transfer order.

Here's an example.

The fifth season of "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year", which is currently in production, is also a project of Wolfsburg Studios according to the project ownership.

But half of the members of this production team have already decided to transfer to Lightning Studios.

Then their current project will not be affected, they can do what they have to do, report to whoever they should report to, and then transfer after the animation is online and broadcast.

Most of the personnel transfers will not be effective until the second half of the year, so there is no impact now.

After all, in April, in addition to a "Hulu Brothers", Wanbao has no other animation confirmed to be broadcast.

"Hulu Brothers" is a TV animation that began to be prepared last year, produced by the puppet studio and the United States Film Studio, with a total of 26 episodes.

Yes!

The Wanbao version of the gourd baby has 26 episodes.

was originally going to make a 52-episode feature-length animation, but Liang Xiaodong said that he really couldn't do it, and the workload of just 26 episodes made him tired, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to save his life for more than 20 episodes.

That's the big truth.

When others say how hard and difficult his animation is, Gu Miao mostly doesn't believe it, but when Liang Xiaodong says this, he absolutely believes it.

After all, "Hulu Brothers" is a paper-cut animation!

Can this amount of work compare to ordinary animation? Paper-cutting, to be honest, is still an intangible cultural heritage, how can it be so easy to do as imagined?

26 episodes are also pretty good.

In these 26 episodes of animation, the plot is mainly divided into two chapters, the first chapter is the most familiar scorpion spirit and snake spirit.

The second chapter tells the story of the seven brothers who destroyed the snake spirit and the scorpion essence, and accidentally discovered that the scorpion essence actually had a sworn brother colorful centipede essence.

And after the colorful centipede spirit learned that the good brother was eliminated by the gourd baby, he was immediately furious, and with a demon wind, he came to arrest his grandfather and the pangolin to vent his anger.

When the gourd brothers learned that their grandfather was captured by the centipede spirit, they immediately set off to save their grandfather from the centipede spirit's lair, Qianzu Mountain, so a new adventure began......

The setting of the colorful centipede essence is actually a creative idea provided by Gu Miao.

He said that if the scorpion spirit had a sworn brother, it must be a centipede and a spider that are also poisons.

It can't be a cockroach, right?

As for the tigers, lions, jackals and other animal essences, it is unlikely that they will be mixed with the scorpion essence.

After Liang Xiaodong heard his complaint, he immediately decided to make a colorful centipede essence to reflect the gold content of the "poison brothers".

Not to mention......

The colorful centipede is very powerful, he has a magical treasure fan, which fanned the wind on the ground, and then the thunder, and the hail from the sky.

Centipede Essence is the main villain in episodes 14-26 of "Hulu Brothers", very cunning and insidious, and almost wiped out the Hulu Brothers.

Why do you say it's almost there?

Because the villain is always a breath away, he can always leave the protagonist with the possibility of turning the tables in a desperate situation.

If the whole gourd brothers are wiped out at once, how will the plot develop in the future?
