On October 8, the seven-day National Day holiday finally ended, and both the working party and the student dogs began to work and study normally.

"Su Mom, I won't be in the theory class this morning, if the teacher takes a roll call, you can help me top it." After breakfast, Jiang Xia said to Su Qing.

As the boss, I showed up today to say a few words no matter what. Although he is now a hands-off shopkeeper, there are some things that Li Weiya cannot completely replace.

For example, when it comes to understanding cats and mice, it is necessary for him, the father of cats and mice, to teach all employees a lesson.

"Okay."

Su Qing nodded slightly, and had already guessed that he was probably going to the company to deal with things.

"Do I still need to go to the company?"

Jiang Xia shook his head: "For the time being, I don't need it, didn't Director Li make all the work clear to you yesterday." ”

"Well, she temporarily asked me and Luo Peng to be in charge of the second original painting."

The so-called second original painting is to refine and refine on the basis of the first original painting, so that each performs its own duties and operates like an assembly line, which can greatly accelerate the progress of animation production.

"Come on."

Generally speaking, the first original is often served by an experienced original artist, and the second original can be done by some newcomers, who can quickly accumulate experience.

For example, Su Qing and Luo Peng are college students who have just entered the Academy of Fine Arts, and it is the most reasonable move to let them serve as the second original painting, and when they are familiar with the overall production of the team in the future, it is not too late to let them transfer to the first original painting.

For this, Li Weiya has a lot of management experience.

"I will."

Jiang Xia smiled slightly.

Then, he said to Lin Yanwan and rode his bicycle to the company.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Weiya has come to the company early, today is the first day of the company's opening, she will be very busy, and she will also have to preside over the meeting.

After seeing Jiang Xia, she was slightly surprised: "Didn't you say that you won't come today?" ”

"It's a theory class in the morning, so it's not important, so I'll come and have a look." Jiang Xia said with a smile.

Li Weiya nodded slightly, Jiang Xia is here, and she also has a backbone in her heart.

After another half an hour, colleagues came to the company one after another, some young people and some middle-aged people, but most of them were middle-aged, many people Jiang Xia had never seen, but since Li Weiya recruited them, it means that they must be passable in terms of professional skills.

After a while, Li Weiya came to Jiang Xia with two people with a smile on her face.

"Axia, let me introduce you, his name is Zhou Zhen, he is the director of photography, she is Meng Xiulian, and the position is the music director, both of them have worked in this position for seven or eight years, and they are very experienced."

Jiang Xia looked up at the two people in front of him, Zhou Zhen was wearing glasses, medium and long hair, and his figure was slightly fat. Meng Xiulian is wearing a small suit and stepping on high heels, which is very professional.

"Zhou Zhen, Xiulian, he is what I call Mr. Jiang, the founder of Qitian Animation, and the real father of cats and mice." Li Weiya smiled and introduced them.

Hearing this, both of them were subconsciously stunned for a moment, the young man in front of them was actually their boss, and the popular animated cat and mouse that swept the country was actually made by him!

Although surprised, it was a working dog who had been born in society for many years, and both of them reacted quickly.

Zhou Zhen and Meng Xiulian: "Mr. Jiang is good." ”

"Hello."

Jiang Xia smiled slightly: "In the future, the work of photography and dubbing will be troublesome for the two of you, if you need anything, just tell Director Li." ”

"You're welcome Mr. Jiang, this is what we should do."

Jiang Xia looked at Meng Xiulian: "Our company's recording studio is still under renovation, and it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of the month." ”

"Mr. Jiang, Director Li has already told me." Meng Xiulian said.

"That's good."

Subsequently, under the recommendation of Li Weiya, Jiang Xia met with several experienced original artists, colorists, and animators, and with their help, I believe that after a period of running-in, Qitian Animation can start real assembly line production.

"Axia, this is the project schedule I made based on the storyboard you provided, you can see if it fits." Li Weiya took out a chart and handed it to him.

Jiang Xia took a closer look, and I have to say that Li Weiya, as the project director, has completed her work very meticulously.

From the submission of the storyboard, to the production of the original art, to the drawing of the middle sheet of the animation, followed by coloring, photography, dubbing, and finally video editing, each day has a different progress, and the whole process is down, and the average episode takes about 20 days.

With the company's current staffing, it is possible to produce four episodes of animation at the same time, with 12 episodes in one season, which takes exactly two months.

Of course, this is only the ideal situation.

After all, everyone's level is different, and the progress of painting is unpredictable, and it is easy to have a chaotic schedule in the early stage and a tense post-production, so there are various scenes of staying up late and working overtime to catch up with the draft.

Fortunately, as the most important storyboard script in the early stage, Jiang Xia has already provided it, and others only need to work step by step, and there should be no major problems.

"Very good. But isn't this time too tight? Jiang Xia asked.

The time from the original painting to the animation is only 15 days, and the follow-up coloring, photography, dubbing, and compilation are only five days. If it was the previous one-shot three-shot production method, it would be absolutely fine, but after switching to one-shot two, the workload has nearly doubled.

"Don't worry, there's enough time." Li Weiya smiled slightly, "There are four painters in each group, and even if according to the law, if there are two days a week, the workload allocated to each person is not much." ”

Four painters, that is, one original, one two-original, two middle cut specifically painted the middle sheet, with tacit understanding, the simple line drawing of cat and mouse is more than enough.

Jiang Xia was slightly stunned, he actually forgot about the holiday, it used to be a small workshop for a few people, there was no concept of vacation, in order to come up with a film as soon as possible, he stayed up late and worked overtime almost every day.

Now that it's being produced in the name of an animation company, any process has to be standardized.

"That's fine, let's follow this schedule for now." Jiang Xia finalized it.

"Then I'll make more copies and give everyone one copy later."

"Okay."

Before I knew it, it was nine o'clock.

Jiang Xia took the staff table and looked around, except for a few in the school, everyone arrived at the post within the specified time, there should be 35 people, but there were 31 people.

The entire hall was divided into several large areas, and the office, which was originally very spacious and deserted, suddenly became lively.

Jiang Xia couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the first step of Monkey Sky Animation has finally been taken, and with this group of people, the future development will be much easier.

At this time, Li Weiya stood up and called everyone to the conference room for a meeting, which was the first staff meeting and was of great significance.
