"The third."

After entering the box, Short greeted his dormitory friends from college.

The roommates are the third in the dormitory.

Even now, nearly a decade later, Short still calls him that, "The Boss hasn't come yet?"

He thought that he would be late enough to work overtime, but he didn't expect the boss to be even late.

"It's coming."

The third child poured a glass of water for Schott: "On the way, I just said in the group that their repertory troupe has a drama to be performed recently, and he, as a member of the stage design, has been a little busy these days."

Short wondered, "Didn't Jingyi just get on a "Wotou Club"?"

"Hey."

The third child waved his hand: "The boss is no longer working in Jingyi, let people dig up the Jiangyu Troupe."

"River Fish Troupe?! ＂

Short's drinking hand stopped: "That drama troupe of Li Yu's husband? It's a private theater company."

"Yes."

The third child: "I heard that the salary is similar to that of Jingyi, but the performance is shared."

The boss is a stage art designer, responsible for the set and props design of the drama stage, from the large brick wall on the stage, the mural, to the middle to a tree, to the small miniature, etc., all of his work content.

The choreography is divided into -

Short: "It's kind of weird."

The third child: "Isn't this the style of the big devil, I remember when we were in college, there was news that the industry usually doesn't give a royalty share to the arrangement, but Li Yu will take a part of his royalties and give it to the arranger."

Of course.

Anyone who can take away the share of the arrangement royalties from Li Yu is a figure in the music industry.

It's almost like a professional certification.

"Yes. Boss—"

Short was about to speak, but the box door opened, and the boss arrived.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The boss apologized as he walked through the door, "I've been delayed for a while."

The third: "Boss, the stage art is so busy."

Boss: "Time-sharing."

For the drama that has been staged, the stage design will be tinkered with, and it will be fine, and you can sit in the office and drink tea when you are idle. But for the new drama, everything starts from scratch, then it will be a little busier. "We still have our own theater here, and if we rent a theater, the cost is very expensive, and we have to race against time to enter the scene, so we can buy more time for the actors and technical departments in the back, and it is common to stay up late." The Boss said.

But—

They also accept staying up late.

Because the actors played well, they also had a share.

"That's good."

Short and the third child both felt.

One of them is in game special effects, the other is in visual effects, overtime is commonplace, and overtime pay is not visible.

Seeing that everyone was together, the third child beckoned the waiter to order.

This way.

Short poured a glass of water for the boss: "Boss, I also plan to ask you to help me get two tickets for "Wotou Guild", why did you quietly run to the Riverfish Repertory Theatre."

Boss: "You're going to see it?" I can still get tickets."

"Really?"

Short said happily: "I'm not chasing a girl, yesterday I looked at her circle of friends, and complained that the tickets for "Wotou Club" couldn't be grabbed, and all the scalpers snatched them, and the tickets of more than 100 were fried to more than 700, which was simply a money-grabbing thing."

Boss: "The book of the Wotou Hall is written by our boss, wait for me to ask Director Wu."

"The tickets for the Jiangyu Repertory Theatre are even more exaggerated than those of Jingyi." The third child sent the waiter away and interjected to chat: "The tickets for "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" are about to sell until the next year, and my wife and I want to go to see it, but we find that there are only scalper tickets."

Boss: "There's nothing I can do about it."

Kyunggei's ticket is a complimentary ticket, which is equivalent to a benefit.

Ticketing for their repertory theatre is strictly managed.

The boss advised him not to buy scalped tickets for small theaters: "It must be a lie

The tickets for our small theater are real-name system, and the uncles and aunts in the square check the tickets one by one."

Beer and cold dishes came up.

They ate and talked.

The third child finally told the origin of the group's meal-

He was unemployed.

He was not yet thirty-five before he fell before the threshold.

And it's not just unemployment.

The former owner still owes him a salary.

As for why the former owner owes him salary, it is because the film and television producer owes them the final payment of the visual effects company.

As for when the producer will pay the final payment, it will probably have to wait until after the movie is released.

But—

His former owner won't live that time.

Right now.

The third child is carrying a mortgage, a car loan, and the children are still in school, once he can't open the pot, he really doesn't know what to do.

He also submitted his resume to find a job, "Now that the market is sluggish, there are few blockbusters, and many companies are too late to lay off employees, let alone recruit people."

Short nodded.

He moved from the VFX industry to game special effects.

He knows too well that domestic visual effects companies live by rolling projects, because visual effects are to put it bluntly, in addition to the head visual effects companies in China, the rest of the special effects companies are very rolled, and there are no technical barriers, just a collection of three-dimensional, synthetic, and animation, anyway, the upstream film and television company has given the star a cool 208, and then to the director, and after the huge marketing expenditure, it can be given to the downstream visual effects company, just five cents special effects, you can do it, I can do it, then roll the price down.

And then—

Because of the low price, in order to maintain wages and other expenses, the company has to keep taking on projects. If you can't receive the project, or the negotiated project is postponed, or the third former owner is owed the final payment, then you can only be out.

So—

It's good if a visual effects company doesn't lay off people, let alone recruit people.

The boss was worried about the third: "Then the second, do you want the third child to try the special effects of the game?"

Short could only say, "I'll ask you about our company."

A few years ago, game companies still used high wages to poach people with film and television special effects, and he passed at that time.

I don't know what the situation is now.

The third child breathed a sigh of relief.

He held up his beer and thanked the two brothers: "It's still the boss who can see through, stability is more important than everything."

When they graduated from college, it was the era when the pony was full of vigor.

They are also at a vigorous age, vowing to make a career in this vigorous era.

Jingyi's career editor, he and Short didn't think about it at all.

Short: "Oh, by the way, Boss, how did you get to the Riverfish Repertory Theatre now?"

It's also unstable.

"Hey."

The Boss waved his hand.

He also made a mistake, "At first, Director Wu of our troupe went there, and then, he came back to dig up the stage director of our troupe, and the stage director didn't want to go at first, but after Director Wu pulled him to watch their play, he decided to go with him, in his words, their drama troupe is enough for us to eat for a lifetime."

And so—

The stage director brought a few of them over.

Of course.

It's also money-induced.

It is not easy to live in the capital.

The cost of living is high, and so are mortgages.

After having a child, who doesn't want to let their child live a better life?

He is on the side of the Jiangyu Repertory Troupe, although the basic salary has not been increased much, but the box office share is written in black and white on the contract. Moreover, the play is really good, the venue is full, as long as they don't eat their old books, they will have a bowl of rice to eat.

So why don't you come?

Boss: "The drama is broadcast on Mango.com, and we still have a share."

Although there are not too many people who pay to watch it at present, the money they get is only a dime. but

As long as the video is still playing, as long as they are not dismissed, become unethical artists, or break the law, the share will continue to be posted.

Even if they don't do it.

What's more—

Boss: "The drama that our troupe is going to show recently is another classic, you must go to see it, it's amazing."

SCHOTT: "What drama?"

Boss: "The story of a man who said he was Jesus in a group of college professors, and then the professors believed it."

SCHOTT: "That sounds good."

"yes."

The boss thinks that such a classic drama should still be watched by people decades later.

In a sense, this is also a kind of stability.
