Tian Shao is an activist, so she sent out an application report the day after she decided to recruit people. Recruitment is not just for just anyone. She put forward three requirements: first, they must have a foundation in painting; second, they must be between 16 and 25 years old. Between the ages of 1 and 3; the third is a junior high school diploma or above. However, if you are particularly talented in comics, you can be admitted without regard to age and education.
Shen Shenjun read the report she wrote and said doubtfully: "Xiao Shao, why did you specifically indicate that there is no establishment on this? If you do this, many people will be discouraged."
Tian Shao directly reported to the superiors and applied to find people, but she was not approved by Jingmei, so how could she get the establishment. Of course, the most important thing is that she plans to leave Jingmei in two or three years, and this group of people will definitely follow her by then. Let’s go. As for no one signing up, Tian Shao is really not worried.
Tian Shao said: "What I want to recruit are people who really love comics. If they give up because of one organization, then they are not the people I am looking for."
No matter which line of work, only those who truly love it can climb to the top. Due to various reasons or being forced to do it, work is just a tool to support the family.
“What if we can’t recruit anyone?”
Tian Shao said with a smile: "I am recruiting workers all over the country, not just in the 49 cities. As long as the works they send pass the preliminary selection and go to the 49 cities for re-election, our studio will reimburse the round-trip tickets, food and accommodation."
In the first round of preliminary selection, applicants are asked to send in their works. Whether they are talented can be known by looking at the works. In the second round, they are asked to draw questions to test their understanding, speed and drawing skills.
Shen Shenjun was silent for a while and said: "Xiao Shao, it would be too eye-catching if the studio hosts them. It is better to communicate with the leaders of Jingmei and ask the company to host these people."
Although Tian Shao was not afraid of the first shot, she did not want to cause trouble. She looked at Shen Shenjun and hoped that she would represent the studio to talk to the leaders of Jingmei.
Shen Shenjun shook his head and said, "I'm just your secretary. If I go, are you afraid that the leaders will think we don't respect them?"
Tian Shao said with a bitter face: "You know, I don't like dealing with leaders the most. When I see them, I feel scared and speechless."
Shen Shenjun had a dark look. Seeing that the boss didn't even look at you, he looked for a decent excuse: "Okay, I'll give it a try first. If it doesn't work, you'll have to step forward."
"OK."
Shen Shenjun's ability to do things was quite good, so he went to negotiate with the company. The money was paid by the studio, and it was in the name of Jingmei that he came to entertain these applicants.
Tian Shao gave a thumbs up: "Sister Sijun, you are still the best."
Shen Shenjun waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet! Director Fu's youngest daughter is eighteen years old this year. This girl started learning painting when she was five years old and failed to get into the Academy of Fine Arts after taking the exam for two years. Director Fu hopes that she My daughter will come to our studio for a while, and I beg you to give her some guidance."
Tian Shao did not refuse, just said: "It depends on whether she has this talent? If she has this talent, I will teach her like I taught Ark; if she has no talent, it is better to find a stable job."
Shen Shenjun had thought of this a long time ago, and she said with a smile: "That's what I said, and Director Fu also understands this truth. She said that if she has the talent, let her make full use of it. If she doesn't have the talent, I hope you can persuade her. She goes to work steadily."
"Their parents can't persuade them, so you think I can persuade them?"
Shen Shenjun smiled and said: "You are a leader in the comics industry. If you say she doesn't have this talent, she will give up. Don't think so much. We have tried our best and Director Fu will not blame you if we fail." .”
"Okay, when this girl comes, I'll take a look at her works."
This recruitment is for the whole country. Not only is it published in newspapers, but I am worried that some people will not read the newspapers and spend a lot of money on TV advertisements. It is a big deal, but in order to recruit more talents, the money should be spent You still have to spend it.
As soon as the job notice and advertisement were released, within a few days someone would send the works. For those in the Forty-Nine City, the works would be sent directly by bus. In order not to affect the work of the cartoonists, Lou Ziyu specially hired a person to be responsible for it. Accept these works.
Tian Shao came over after class that day, and Lou Ziyu said: "Chief Editor, I have read all the works that were sent to me. One of them is very good. Do you want to take a look?"
Tian Shao shook his head and said, "You and Team Leader Ning will screen these works first. If you think they are good, you can show them to me after the submission deadline."
The number of submissions was certainly in the hundreds if not thousands. She was so busy now that she didn't have much time to read each one. So the first round was given to Lou Ziyu and Ning Miaozhu.
Thinking about the ages of the two of them, Tian Shao added: "Let Fang Zhou and Miaozhu also participate, and let them be exposed to different types of works, which will help them in the future."
"good."
After talking about this matter, Lou Ziyu asked Tian Shao a question: "Chief Editor, we have produced many high-quality comics in recent years, and some of them can be adapted into cartoons. Chief Editor, I wonder if you have this direction? plan of."
He had been pressing this question in his mind for a long time. But now that two colleagues had returned to their original workplace to make cartoons, he couldn't help but ask about it.
Tian Shao hummed and said: "As an author, who doesn't want to put his work on the screen? I made a report to the superiors and applied to change "Detective Furukawa" into a cartoon, but the superiors felt that this subject matter It’s hard to shelve it. I don’t blame the superiors, the funds are really too tight.”
Lou Ziyu's throat rolled, and he said tentatively: "Isn't our company very profitable? It should be okay to use part of it to make cartoons, right?"
It's a great idea, but it's too difficult to implement.
Tian Shao said: "In this recruitment, I can't even entertain the authors who come for review in the name of our studio. Do you think we can make cartoons ourselves?"
Lou Ziyu was very disappointed.
Seeing this, Tian Shao smiled and said: "You don't have to be discouraged. After graduation, I will go to Hong Kong City to see if I can find a film and television company to cooperate with. Once I get the investment, I can start working with Jingmei Let’s work together to make a cartoon.”
Lou Ziyu really wanted to say that she could just let Shaohua cooperate with Jingmei, but she just thought about it in her mind and didn't say it out loud: "Editor-in-Chief, which project do you want to shoot first?"
Tian Shao must have the final say on this matter, because the works are all her own.
Tian Shao thinks he is quite impatient, but he understands: "I want to adapt "Detective Furukawa" first. Not only does this book have many episodes, but it is also less difficult to make an animation than other works. I have enough experience. , and then adapt several other comics.”
Lou Ziyu felt that she had considered it very carefully: "Editor-in-Chief, I'll be waiting for your good news."
