256. Slam Dunk?
Since Li Weiya came to the imperial capital, Jiangxia has been much more relaxed in all aspects, except for classes every day, she is staying in the bedroom to draw storyboards, and her life is quite peaceful.
Occasionally, Su Qing and Luo Peng would be called together for a small meeting to look at the original paintings they had drawn so far, and talk about the details of Tom and Jerry's performance on various occasions.
In addition, they will also look at the cat and mouse animation that has been on the market over and over again, and study the core of this popular animation, and in this atmosphere, the painting techniques of the two have grown rapidly, at least to accurately express the effect that Jiang Xia needs.
By the end of September, the storyboards of the fourth season of Cat and Mouse were all over, and there was good news from Li Weiya's side.
ββThe office supporting facilities are basically completed, the relevant technical personnel are almost recruited, many important positions have experienced people, and the total number of people in the company group has also come to 28.
In other words, Pious Sky Animation is now ready to start.
At the same time, Li Weiya also posted a new announcement in the group, and the official working time is set to open after the National Day, that is, after October 8.
This is also a decision made by Jiang Xia after thinking, since it is a legal holiday, let everyone enjoy the holiday first, the company has not yet completed the matter, just take advantage of this time to make up.
After the last lesson before the National Day, Jiang Xia drove Lin Yanwan to Tsinghua Science and Technology Park.
"Baby, the company's relocation procedures should be completed soon, right?"
"Well, it has entered the final review stage, and it will be possible to get the business license after the National Day." Lin Yanwan nodded and said.
"That's good."
Half an hour later, the two arrived at Tsinghua Science and Technology Park, took the elevator to the 15th floor, and walked a few steps inside to Monkey Sky Animation Company.
Today's office is very different from a week ago, pushing open the glass door is the front desk, and the background wall behind is a backlit light-emitting board made in the style of artistic fonts, with the words Monkey Sky animation written on it, plus a simple logo representing Monkey King, it looks like there is a sense of luxury.
Seeing Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan walking in, the administration immediately got up and said, "Mr. Jiang is good."
Although she has only been in the company for two days, she also knows that the real boss of Monkey Sky Animation is not Li Weiya, who recruited her, but the boy in front of her, who is still in college, and is also the real creator of cat and mouse.
"Sister Liu, is Director Li here?"
"Yes, at her workstation." Liu Xinyue said.
Jiang Xia nodded slightly, bypassing the front desk and entering the hall, now the hall is divided into several areas with partition desks, each desk is equipped with a computer, a few Tom and Jerry's figures are placed on the cabinet against the wall, and the corresponding posters are hung on the wall, at a glance, at least it is related to cats and mice.
Of course, the animation elements in the company are not strong at present, according to Jiang Xia's concept, at least a pair of Tom and Jerry's models must be placed at the gate, and the interior furnishings can also be restored to animation as much as possible, but all this needs to be customized, and you have to take your time.
However, Jiang Xia was already very satisfied with being able to arrange the office like this in a few days.
At this time, Li Weiya was painting the scene of the third season, and when she saw Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan, she slowly put down her pen and glanced at him with resentment.
"It's only two times a week, are you the boss or am I the boss?"
"Hehe, it's not like there's a godmother, and I'm here to help, so it's better to draw a few more storyboards in the bedroom." Jiang Xia said with a smile.
He said and handed all the storyboards to Li Weiya: "This is the storyboard of the third and fourth seasons, I have marked each episode, and I have done it all." β
Li Weiya watched it patiently for a while, it was still the original taste, and the storyboards of each episode were very good, but she was very emotional, didn't this guy have a creative bottleneck? How did you come up with so many interesting ideas?
After a cursory scan, she put the storyboard on the table, nodded and said, "Well, when the official start starts on October 8, the production will almost begin." β
"How often will an episode come out?"
Li Weiya thought for a while and said: "If all departments cooperate tacitly, one and a half months and a quarter should be about the same, excluding holidays, it will probably be less than two months, of course, if you want to be fast, you can also be faster." β
There are 12 episodes in a season, which means that you can get out of an episode in almost 5 days, although the time of a single episode is less than seven minutes, but it is also amazing.
And this is after Jiangxia improved the quality of animation to one shot and two, and the number of original paintings in each episode has increased significantly compared with before.
Now the company has a complete team, everyone has their own duties, after getting the storyboard, after the first original painting is completed, the second original is completed and handed over to the color, then the corresponding photography and editing, and finally the soundtrack, like an assembly line-like operation, the efficiency has improved much compared to before.
"No, the efficiency is very good, the production capacity is slow, the main thing is that the quality has to be improved. Let the outside world see that after our company makes money, it really spends all the money on the blade. β
With a good reputation, Monkey Sky Animation will release new works in the future, and the audience will be more willing to buy it.
Li Weiya nodded, she also had this idea, no matter how good the content of an animation is, quality is king, if you pursue production capacity too much, it will lead to distortion of the picture, not to mention being scolded, and it will also cause many people who originally liked it to abandon the pit.
That's more than worth the cost.
"In this case, the current two seasons of storyboards are enough for the company to run normally until next year, what are your plans for next? Are you planning to continue hiring people to expand your company, or what? β
It stands to reason that the studio has just been reorganized, and it should take a period of precipitation and running-in, but it can't stop this guy from drawing storyboards too fast.
It took a month to complete two seasons of storyboards, including military training, and if you want to keep up with his rhythm, you can only recruit more people. This is also Li Weiya's helpless move.
She has been in the industry for so many years, and it is the first time she has seen a freak like Jiang Xia.
"There is no rush to expand the enrollment, let's stabilize it for now."
In the final analysis, the company will not officially open until October 8, and there may be people leaving during this period, affecting the progress of work, which is an unstable factor.
Blindly expanding enrollment can only be said to be harmful.
"Okay."
"But maybe my focus will be on other animations for the time being." Jiang Xia pursed his lips and said.
Li Weiya raised her eyebrows, other animations?
Good guys, one cat and mouse isn't enough, and you're still thinking about double opening, right?
"What do you mean?"
"It's just that I'm going to start another anime, huh...... The main theme of campus sports is about 24 minutes. Jiang Xia thought for a while and said.
Hearing this, Lin Yanwan next to him opened his mouth with a reflex.
"Slam Dunk?"
