Chapter 805: Newcomers
As the most profitable subsidiary of the Kirin Group, Kirin Culture is now in the industrial park at the foot of Liufu Mountain, but it is very different.
They have a total of five office buildings, all of which are thousands of square meters per floor and have a total of 8 floors.
Among them, "Kirin Weekly" occupies three buildings, including the editorial department, the distribution department, the comic production department and several other departments.
And the comic production department is the best, and now it has monopolized 2 large office buildings, each comic has a floor for them to squander, even Zeng Huanqian's "Cherry Maruko", which publishes a monthly magazine every month, has only four people, all of which occupy one floor, which is so empty that people can't stand it.
In addition, the Qilin Culture Animation Department also occupies a whole building, in which all kinds of equipment are piled up, and animators and artists do not fix their working positions, and they can often be seen running around.
But the animation department is the busiest and most tense department of Kirin Culture, because the comics are a little easier, after all, they are four-panel comics, and the number of serials in a week has dropped to 30 pages, and the animation department's "Transformers" must broadcast an episode of about 21 minutes of animation a week, and you can imagine how tight the time is.
That is to say, Yin Jun has a lot of money, and has successively sent more than 50 artists and animators and other staff members to the "Transformers" production team, including 30 animators sent by the Asahi Group, otherwise they would not have become so comfortable now.
Therefore, this time, 69 artists and animators transferred from the three major factories of Shangmei Factory, Science Film Studio and Changying Studio, plus 100 students from Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts and Central Academy of Fine Arts, came to Xiangjiang, how popular they were with the animation department, that can be imagined.
In addition to the company's various arrangements, the animation department also had an unprecedented day off, each leading the novices to the city for a walk, and even the original animators also relied on a few words of Cantonese they learned to act as tour guides.
This enthusiastic attitude directly diluted the nervousness and alienation of the newcomers, and all that was left was excitement.
Although before coming, the leaders and teachers probably told them about their respective treatments, but after arriving in Xiangjiang and signing a contract with Qilin Culture, their hearts were steady, and they were really excited and happy.
Even the 100 students of the Academy of Fine Arts, which has the lowest salary, have a basic salary of 3,000 yuan a month, Hong Kong dollars.
The teachers of the other three major animation factories directly offered 6,000, which was a lot more than the 4,000 when they were recruited two years ago.
Of course, as we all know, working in Kirin Culture, the salary is the most ordinary and basic, if you work well, the bonus is at least several times the salary, or even dozens of times.
For example, Chang Huanxi, the animation director of Kirin Culture, who had just been replaced, was not in Xiangjiang when he left, but Le Yiling, the executive president of Kirin Group, personally invited him to dinner and gave him a big red envelope of 1 million Hong Kong dollars to thank him for his contribution.
After talking to Hong Jinbao, Yin Junwan declined his invitation to dinner and went directly to the Qilin Culture and Animation Department.
At the beginning, the headquarters of Kirin Culture, a small business, was in a three-story building on Broadcasting Road, and the place was still a little cramped, and the most strange thing was that Yin Jun let them still live there.
But it is such a narrow and humble place, but it has left the deepest memories for the original Kirin culture artists and animators.
Not only because entrepreneurship is beautiful, but also because of those relaxed and cheerful atmospheres, and that kind of free and easy atmosphere.
So after they came to Liufu Mountain, they basically copied everything from the old headquarters over there.
The first floor is a relaxing and relaxing place, with table tennis tables, badminton courts, sofas and a study room.
On the second floor is the restaurant and café, and there are some piano rooms, calligraphy rooms, and so on next to them.
From the third floor onwards, there is a workshop, and everyone works at each workstation when they have an idea, or they start to meet in the central area, and everyone discusses and researches decisions.
At this time, it is almost 10 o'clock, in the eyes of normal workmen, it is the time to work seriously, but this group of technical nerds often work overtime at night, so there are many people who get up at 10 o'clock during the day.
Moreover, Yin Jun also heard about it just now, because the employees from the mainland have just arrived, and many places are not familiar, saying that these days are mostly for observation, and restaurants and cafes are the places where they often stay, discuss and exchange opinions.
All right.
To be honest, most of the people who are willing to stay on the second floor are young people, that is, students from the two major art academies.
They are only 223 years old at most, and they have just arrived in Xiangjiang from the poor and backward hinterland, and everything feels fresh.
Although I am embarrassed to go to the city these days, there are too many novelties in the restaurants and cafes here, dozens of drinks, dozens of fruits, dozens of snacks, and dozens of set meals every day...... All this made them eat and drink vigorously, and in order not to waste it, several people had problems with their stomachs.
It was the newly appointed animation director Hu Yi who summoned them to criticize them fiercely, and these students who had not yet graduated were much more restrained.
Yin Jun came to the building of the animation department.
Most of the 100 students who come will be assigned to the comic group of Kylin Weekly to help with the tedious work of chores and sketches, and then release their brothers and sisters so that they can come and support the animation department.
The animation department now knows that they are about to split two points and transfer people to make "Tomb Raider", the second cartoon of Kirin culture.
Fortunately, they already have more than 50 people, and the artists of the major comics here also support about 20 people, plus about 40 animators from the three major factories this time, and finally 20 of the students also came, so they didn't break up their entire shelf.
It is estimated that the number of people for "Tomb Raider" is about 70, and since this does not have any time urgency, under the leadership of the veteran staff, they can have enough time to run in, and they don't have to worry about being like "Transformers", which is directly busy like a spinning top in the early stage.
It's just that only one-third of them are old employees, and it is estimated that the task of teaching new employees will also give them some headaches.
When Yin Jun came over, he happened to see a group of young students looking like employees, holding drinks and snacks, talking about something, and from time to time someone stood up to make a joke, and the atmosphere was very lively.
This also made Yin Jun breathe a sigh of relief.
He specially mentioned to the vice presidents of the two art universities that they must shoot people with strong professional quality and cheerful and lively personalities, the kind of people who are too dull and too introverted, and should not be sent for the time being.
After all, when you come to Xiangjiang, all kinds of pressure will increase. And you have to increase your knowledge and learn more things.
If it is the kind of Mune student who has been too affected by the domestic system, it will be a trouble to come here.
For this matter, during the final selection, Wei Xiaofan took the artists and animators of the Shanghai Art Factory to conduct an interview and assessment.
Actually, this is also Yin Jun's luck.
Anyone who studies art cannot be a very rigid nerd, especially art students, who do not have rich imagination and learning ability, can they learn art and painting?
This is a very creative profession!
And in the past few years, there are no indiscriminate students in the university, and it is difficult for you to find a few unmotivated and cheating students.
Therefore, several batches of students in a row have made the employees of Shangmei Factory very satisfied, and the results have also made Le Yiling very satisfied.
Since they are so capable and very diligent and hardworking, wouldn't it be good to relax more and rest their brains more when they are resting, so as to better devote themselves to work?
Seeing that a young girl did not join them, but sat aside, occupying a small table by herself, burying her head in drawing, and there was a large pile of manuscript paper on the table, Yin Jun walked over curiously.
There were a lot of drawings on the table, and Yin Jun could see it at a glance, and they were all portraits of Laura from "Tomb Raider".
Whether it's from the front, from the side, casual wear, desert wear, snow mountain wear...... Each portrait is vivid, and the clothes are also painted very realistically, this three-dimensional orthodox painting method, Yin Jun knows that many of the characters he gives are three-dimensional styles painted by himself.
However, he painted simple three-dimensional Japanese paintings that he learned in his previous life, not this kind of formal academy, which is very stylish at first glance.
Laura's appearance is Lin Qingxia's, about 70% similar, but it is more tenacious than Qingxia's sister, a bit of the temperament of the Oriental Sect Leader in the future.
Yin Jun looked at it like this, it felt like the artist of the comic group of "Tomb Raider" was drawing, and he was very skilled, and he was completely qualified with his appearance and eyes.
It is amazing that such a girl who has just been in Xiangjiang for a few days can have such spirituality and understanding.
Why did Yin Jun know that she belonged to a new group of people?
The reason is simple.
Clothes and grooming.
Among the previous artists and animators, the proportion of girls was relatively low, and it was only later that the graduates of the two major art academies came over and added a little powder.
These girls, three months after coming to Xiangjiang, are already dressed like Xiangjiang people.
And the little girl in front of her was wearing an old-fashioned white shirt, a pair of army-green trousers, a pair of embroidered cloth shoes, and a very old-fashioned, but very classic ponytail, which of course is the dress that only girls who have just come from the mainland.
