Chapter 420: Rapid Progress!

Until 2020, there were no weekends in Xiangjiang, and a statutory holiday was only Sunday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Surprisingly, mainlanders have no concept of a day off than those in Hong Kong.

Maybe it's because I'm scared of poverty, many people don't have any concept of resistance to overtime or anything, but feel that it's good to have a class.

During Christmas and New Year's Day, Xiangjiang people generally have to rest for two days, but the animators who have just returned from the United States have not rested, nor do they have the idea of going to the streets to shop, shop, or eat, but they are full of energy, sit on the animation studio, and start the intense animation production of "Transformers".

The Chinese workers in this era are still very simple, especially these literary and artistic workers.

The 13 animators recruited by Yin Jun basically stayed in Xiangjiang for less than a month, so they went to Japan to study for a few months, and then to the United States for a few months, and only came back in the last two days.

In other words, they received Yin Jun's salary every day, but they did not contribute anything to Yin Jun, but Yin Jun also spent money to let them go to further study.

That's it, after the launch of "Kirin Weekly", they actually have their share of every dividend bonus, and they are all above the average amount, and it is still a dividend of 10,000 or 20,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, which makes them too ashamed.

Hu Yi, the captain who led the team several times, proposed on behalf of the 13 of them that he did not have an inch, so he didn't need to receive dividends and bonuses for the time being, and waited until he and others made contributions?

But Yin Jun said that since everyone is a whole, then the credit must be everyone's.

Since you feel a little embarrassed, then work hard when you come back, make a good cartoon, and make more money, so that you can earn me more money.

Everyone knows that this is Yin Jun's words of comfort to everyone, and at the same time, he is desperately trying to learn the animation production concepts and skills of the United States and Japan, and has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

In 2020, people know through the Internet that in fact, when they are abroad, Chinese students are BUG.

There is no other country where students can compare with the overall quality of Chinese students, especially the rote learning and the spirit of hard work.

The favorite assistants of American professors are Chinese students, because they can always take care of the rest of their affairs in an orderly manner beyond the professors' regulations, instead of waiting for the teacher's instructions like stupid European, American and African students, or being as lazy as they can be.

This is still around 2020, and the international students who have come out of the honey pot.

In the 80s and 90s, the group of international students was even more terrifying, and their crazy energy to learn knowledge was completely beyond what people can imagine today.

Legend has it that if you can take a look at the plane of the Soviet Union in Komsomolsk, the polar bear, you can come back and draw detailed dimensions, designs, and other details.

The same is true for technology, there is nothing that Chinese people can't learn.

Around 2006, the Europeans, who had been lonely for twenty or thirty years, finally developed a technology called the "photovoltaic industry", and in a few years, the Chinese people had already learned the hand, and with lower prices and better technology, directly crushed the Europeans' technology and ate the global market.

This can make Europeans mad, scolding the Chinese everywhere for being shameless, and also imposing heavy taxes on the photovoltaic industry sold by China to Europe, and even coming to anti-dumping investigations, which is precisely the reason.

It is not the Europeans who suffer, but also the Americans and the Japanese, who also suffer too much.

Let's leave this aside for the time being, but at least it can show that there are many smart people in Huaguo, and they are also very talented in learning.

Such a talent also exists in this group of animators.

Originally, they planned to stay in Japan for half a year and the United States for half a year, but their excellent learning ability directly shortened this time by half, and they returned from Japan and the United States after only half a year.

Looking at their familiar work on the animation studio, and watching the students of the Academy of Fine Arts who they are familiar with painting, Yin Jun felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

If you want to do something, it really depends on our own Chinese people!

After a few days of familiarity and work, Hu Yi and the others have promised Yin Jun that the first episode will be produced in late January at the latest, including a 20-minute feature film, a 1-and-a-half-minute prelude and a 1-and-a-half-minute finale.

And after completing the first episode, the speed of the rest can be accelerated, and one episode can be done in almost half a month.

This is on the basis of 31 people working together, and also on the basis of using Osamu Tezuka's animation camera and techniques, otherwise the time would have increased.

When Hu Yi talked about it, he was a little embarrassed, after all, they only did two episodes a month, and they still had 31 people to do it, which was really slow.

But instead of accusing them, Yin Jun offered praise.

YOU KNOW, WHEN TAKRA AND HASBRO DID "TRANSFORMERS", THEY ONLY MADE AN EPISODE EVERY MONTH, AND SOMETIMES THEY HAD TO ADD MORE TIME.

The animators on their side can do an episode in half a month, which is already very good.

But this also reminded Yin Jun that there will be more cartoons to be produced in the future, in addition to larger-scale recruitment, work segmentation must be done well,

Work segmentation is to try to make each step as detailed as possible, and each person is only responsible for their own part of the work, so that the speed of the finished product will be faster.

This can also be called an assembly line for anime.

Of course, the work of the assembly line is very boring, but most of these employees have more than one skill, so let them change the project they are responsible for every once in a while, so that it will not be boring and boring.

In terms of recruitment, Yin Jun will definitely give priority to recruiting from the mainland.

Again, my own people are always more reliable.

And after they arrived in Xiangjiang, what they could rely on was the Qilin culture, which was suitable for the centripetal force of the Qilin culture.

The more die-hard elements Yin Jun has, the greater his influence in Xiangjiang.

As for the question of whether the people of Xiangjiang will protest...... Hehe, you let them compare their professional skills, they can be better than the students and elites in the mainland, and I can also hire you!

The animators are busy, and Yin Jun's newly established "Kirin Toy Studio" is not resting.

Playing with Transformers toys is addictive, and similarly, studying these transformable Transformers toys is just as addictive.

For 5 designers, that kind of simple level of patchwork Transformers toys is no longer enough for them.

After confirming that Yin Jun needed to make mid-to-high-end variable body Transformers toys, all of their energy was basically spent on this.

A good designer is usually a good painter and a good architect.

In addition to drawing product parts every day, they also use various plastics, mastices, and other things to piece together their own Transformers shapes.

Yin Jun hadn't been there for a few days, and when he entered their office again, there were dozens of dolls of all sizes inside.

Although the style is strange, Yin Jun is very happy.

If the designer is a one-size-fits-all, he has no future at all.

It is to be different, or to be strange, so that it means that they have intentions to develop it.

Throughout the ages, how many inventions and creations have come from imaginary ideas that ordinary people can't imagine?

Yin Jun didn't bother with their ideas and imaginations, he took the models made by the group of five and looked among them for the Transformers toys he had seen.

Obviously, the simplest and cheapest toys that cannot be deformed are the first to be created, and the most important thing about them is only the shape and majestic appearance, and then the color is a little more colorful, not so cheap, it is enough.

Priced at $10-$50, how good can you ask for a design concept and materials?

Belch...... Although the cost of these is only a few dollars, the cheapest ones are even less than $1.

But this money is what Yin Jun should earn.

That's the value of intellectual property!

Therefore, this is also the most headache for foreign technology companies in China, and it is also a problem that Yin Jun will inevitably face in the future.

They also designed some simple transformation modes, such as disassembling and then assembling them into the shape of a car robot, which is a bit like a Lego patchwork pattern, which looks a little fun, but it is still not the essence of Transformers.

The most complex body deformation design, the 5-person group is still exploring.

You can't rush this matter, and you can't do it well in a hurry.

But with the ideas provided to them by Yin Jun and their years of experience in making toys, the advanced version of the Transformers body transformable toy should be designed and made soon.

In addition to them, the artists and screenwriters of the newly established supplement department here are not idle.

As early as October, after the sales of "Kirin Weekly" completely stabilized, Yin Jun transferred 4 artists and 2 screenwriters to start a supplement.

The first supplement was Resident Evil.

Considering the issue of space, "Resident Evil", which was originally intended as a supplement, was directly made into a single line and originally listed.

If it's too little, it doesn't seem to be very interesting, but the release of a single book with an episode every two months can quickly attract fans.

If it weren't for the bloody content of "Resident Evil", it could be the same as "Cherry Maruko", which can be published once every two weeks or a month.

And now "Resident Evil" can only be labeled with the 18X logo and put on the shelves.

Because of the good foundation of the previous single book, "Resident Evil" was immediately welcomed by many fans as soon as it was released.

But this popularity is also sub-regional.

Japan and South Korea actually have a very strong death culture, and the acceptance of themes such as zombies and vampires is definitely not lower than that of people in Europe and the United States.

As a result, sales in Japan and South Korea were very good, with Japan selling out 500,000 copies in four days and South Korea selling 300,000 copies in five days, ranking first and second on the sales list of "Resident Evil".

As for Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore, and Southeast Asia, the sales are not so good, and the total is only 400,000 copies.

The other eight single books sold on the same day as "Resident Evil" sold 1.6 million copies in one go to 2 million copies, and the difference between the two is very obvious.

But Yin Jun was not worried at all.

"Resident Evil" is a book that is more and more interesting the more you read it, and the setting in it is very interesting, with a particularly die-hard fan base, once word of mouth spreads, its sales are absolutely not to worry about.

In the previous life, Japan alone made the market of Japan make a lot of money for the companies that developed it, after all, Japan has a population of 150 million, and it belongs to the ranks of developed countries, such a population base has long been enough to support the sales of many goods. -- This is also an important reason why the Japanese mobile phone market can play its own game differently than the rest of the world.

Besides, the majority of the sales of "Resident Evil" are still in Europe and the United States!

Book lovers in Europe and the United States may not be very interested in some small and warm comic books in Asia, but they have a soft spot for heavy stories like "Resident Evil".

Originally, European and American booksellers were already talking about the single book with Qilin Culture, and I believe that with "Resident Evil", in a few days, their booksellers over there would be unable to help but come over and reach an agreement.

AS LONG AS "RESIDENT EVIL" BECAME POPULAR IN EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES, IN A FEW YEARS, WHEN MICROSOFT'S WINDOWS SYSTEM CAME OUT, IT WAS TIME TO MAKE COMPUTER GAMES.

In another three or five years, the TV series of "Resident Evil" will be produced.

In this way, around 90 years ago, the first "Resident Evil" movie can also start filming and release.

According to the law of a big movie in three years in Hollywood, as long as the script is done well at the beginning, don't just care about special effects, and make the story well, it will not be a problem to do it in 2020.

Then, Yin Jun can also make "Resident Evil" into his own theme park, like Universal Studios' "Jurassic Park Zone", "Spider-Man Zone", and "Harry Potter Zone", which is another good project that can make money for a long time.

Of course, the earning power of "Resident Evil" is definitely not as good as that of "Transformers", but it is definitely a good high-quality resource, and it is appropriate for Yin Jun to earn more than 2 billion US dollars on it.

If Yin Jun didn't pursue it, the project "Resident Evil" could be eaten for a lifetime, just like Lucas's space opera "Star Wars".

If you think about it, you will start planning for the next 40 years in 80, and only Yin Jun can do it!
