At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chihara Rinto, accompanied by Nagano Nobutetsu, visited Komiya Ryo's company (home) again. This time, Komiya Ryo had been waiting for a long time, and he greeted him respectfully with six or seven nervous young people.
As for the distinguished guest, he was even more anxious to show him his works over the years, for fear that he would be dissatisfied.
Qianhara Rinto also understands that this guy probably feels a lot of business pressure now and really wants to find someone to take refuge in. Moreover, he can't just accept himself, but also his subordinates and students. But this guy really doesn't know how to do things.
There is no scheming in society and the workplace, and there seems to be a missing string in his mind - Chihara Rinto was originally here to recruit talented people, so he didn't just raise the price, but he actually turned himself into a prostitute, with no character at all, which is really a bit stupid
.
But Chihara Rinto doesn't care about this, as long as he has the ability, he can say anything.
He began to take a closer look at the many manuscripts and original paintings that Komiya Ryo brought out, but it was not about appreciating painting skills, which he was not good at. He mainly used these to judge Komiya Ryo's organizational and scheduling abilities, and Nagano Nobutetsu did not want to interfere with his judgment.
After taking two sips of tea, he disappeared directly on the pretext of going to the bathroom - this old man was still very sensible and always acted in a measured manner.
Qianhara Rinto didn't care about him, but after looking at it, he felt something was wrong, and asked strangely: "Why is there not even a storyboard for a single episode? The character drawings are also incomplete, do you only outsource the lowest level jobs?
"
He has also been studying animation production in the past two days, and he knows the process to some extent. He feels that it is not much different from making a TV series.
Choose a topic, make a script, make storyboards, design characters, collect real-life materials and draw scenes, and then the formal production begins - the original artist draws the key action nodes, and the animator supplements the process to make the characters' movements smooth and smooth.
After it becomes a ppt, the colorist will color it according to the requirements of the storyboard to make the overall tone consistent, and finally dub the soundtrack and it is complete.
The information provided by Xiaogong Ryo starts directly from the original painting. There is no topic selection, script, or storyboard. There are even very few character setting pictures. This can only show that they have been working at the lowest level in the animation production industry.
The physical labor is equivalent to that of a work team in TV drama production, or even worse than a work team - their manuscripts are not systematic, and most of them are parts of a certain season and episode, and are most likely the work of other companies.
If you don't come here, use them temporarily as coolies, or use them to reduce production costs.
Komiya Ryo looked very uneasy when Qianhara Rinto asked. He sat there and moved his butt left and right, saying awkwardly: "I...we also want to make our own animation, but...but I can't get investment, so we can only
We will survive like this for the time being, but we have also been practicing short films. As long as we have money, we are confident that we can do well. Please take a look at these."
He also saw that Chihara Rinto was somewhat of an outsider, and at least had no idea about painting. It was useless to show him the original paintings, so he simply found the exercises he had made in private and showed them directly to Chihara Rinto on TV.
It's very short, just over seven minutes, and tells a short story. After this one was finished, he played four or five more for Chihara Rinto. Obviously, in addition to outsourcing work, he spent a lot of energy on the production.
On the exercises, Chihara Rinto was not very good at making animations by himself, but he could still tell the difference between good and bad. He looked at it and slowly began to nod his head - the story was a bit cliche, so it worked.
It is an old way of environmental protection and anti-war, it is not a commercial work, and the dubbing seems a bit amateurish. I probably hired some voice actor trainees to make it work, but the pictures are really beautiful and the styles are changeable. In the 21st century, it is still
I can speak pretty well.
Halfway through, he asked Xiao Gongliang to stop putting in new ones, looked at the young painters who were silently observing the situation not far away, and asked: "Is this what you led them to do?"
If so, this person has a weak personality, but his working ability is no problem, he is still convincing in his profession, and he really loves this industry, otherwise he would not spend so much energy and time, and make so many products, it is almost impossible to get any profit.
short works.
Xiao Gongliang answered honestly: "Yes, these are young people who love animation. Many of them are more talented than me and will definitely achieve something in the future."
After he finished praising the students, he also showed the work to Rinto Chihara. He really couldn't find anything more to express, so he hesitated and asked, "Same, Chihara, um... you are really willing to let us join the Kanto Alliance.
Production bureau?”
Qianhara Rinto was basically satisfied with this person. Seeing his evasive eyes, he said in as soft a tone as possible: "Of course, I come here with sincerity, but if you join, you need to follow my request.
Is a little acceptable?"
Xiao Gongliang hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and whispered: "I will no longer do late-night animations. You may not know that I... I have made mistakes before and harmed others. I vowed never to do late-night animation again."
Animation, I won't touch it no matter what, even if I can't make any money... I'm sorry, that... Even so, you will still..."
The implication is that if you can do serious animation, you can do it, but you can't do hentai animation.
Qianhara Rinto already knew what happened to him. It is estimated that what happened back then scared him to death. It is completely understandable, not to mention that he had no intention of engaging in pornography. He said directly: "It is the sub-contract period in the afternoon. It is open to the public.
You don’t have to worry about anything when it comes to broadcasting programs, except that I may specify the themes and even have requirements on the style and plot. Can you accept this?"
This is something that the producer should decide. Chihara Rinto is the director of the production bureau and the boss of all producers. It is completely reasonable to have such a request. Komiya Ryo did not think there was anything wrong and quickly said: "This is
Yes, we will definitely work hard to meet your requirements.”
Qianhara Rinto nodded silently, "You are too talkative. You are like a big rabbit who can only be bullied. There is no sense of achievement in recruiting you..."
But it is a good thing to be able to recruit people so smoothly, and it is also a good thing to have a weak personality, so as to avoid appointing him to remake some popular animations because he has some objections and is not thinking about embodying the creative spirit and hiding private goods.
Chihara Rinto is not short of good ideas. After all, he has watched countless cartoons and has no difficulty in compiling scripts and scripts. Even if Komiya Ryo cannot manage a department with an iron fist so that he has less to worry about, he can lead the original animators and animators.
The colorist and others worked hard and could barely make do with it.
He directly stretched out his hand and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Gongsen, is this what we have settled on?"
Xiao Gongliang slowly stretched out his hand, but hesitated to hold it, as if he still had something to say.
Qianhara Rinto is really speechless. No wonder you have difficulty running the business. You really have a problem with your social skills. What are you afraid of saying directly? I can’t eat people!
He quickly asked: "Xiao Gong-san, you may not understand me as a person. I have always believed that cooperation is for a win-win situation. If you have any requests, just say so. We will discuss it together and strive to satisfy both parties."
Xiao Gongliang moved his buttocks on the shabby sofa uneasily and said hesitantly: "As for our salary..."
It turned out that he was concerned about the remuneration after joining the job. Chihara Rinto understood immediately and asked: "Then what salary do you hope to be?"
He is not short of money now. He has just replenished more than 90 billion in funds to Guandong United, of which more than 80 billion was borrowed by First Bank as agreed, but there is still 10 billion left in the Guandong United Development Fund. This
Most of the money went into the production bureau to revitalize his reputation and break the blockade of the four major commercial channels, so... Komiya Ryo wants a high salary, which is completely negotiable. As long as he is really capable, Chihara Rinto will never mind his subordinates.
My mouth is full of oil after eating.
Xiao Gongliang was really timid and didn't dare to look into Qianyuan Rinto's eyes. He just stretched out two fingers and whispered in a low voice: "Do you think this number is okay?"
Chihara Rinto was confused for a moment. Is this 200,000 or 2 million? But 200,000 is only the price for a fresh college graduate. After all, Komiya Ryo is also a president and has the ability, so it shouldn’t be so little!
That's two million?
Two million yen is not much, but when he was recruited by Shiga Ayumu, his monthly salary was only 450,000 yen (excluding royalties and bonuses). Later, he broke the highest ratings record, and his monthly salary increased to 700,000 yen.
, then Xiao Gongliang’s two million yen is really too much - I want to use you, but you also have to recognize yourself. Do you think you can stand up to three of me or five of me?
I didn't even dare to ask for this number back then!
He immediately frowned, feeling that Xiao Gong Liang was really trying to take advantage of him, but Xiao Gong Liang became even more uneasy. Looking at his expression, he couldn't help but plead in a low voice: "I know this request.
It's a bit excessive, but now that prices are much higher, it's hard to live on the previous salary. Please be considerate of that... I can take a little less, but I hope our average annual salary can exceed two million yen. This
This is my last request."
Chihara Rinto was stunned when he heard that, an annual salary of two million? Co-authoring every month is not enough money for a fresh graduate? Are animators so humble now?
He thinks it's impossible. Two million is enough to make a living in Tokyo. Hitomi Konoe used to kill fish and work as a passerby actor, and that's what he earned. But Komiya Ryo and his gang are professionals, and their nature should be completely different.
——It is much more difficult to train a painter than to train an ordinary college student. This profession requires very high talent. How can I get it at the same price as Haenyeo?
He couldn't understand, and his mind was a little confused. He hesitated and asked: "How much is your annual income now?"
"Well... our average annual salary last year was 1.13 million yen." Xiao Gongliang lowered his head in shame and mumbled, "I am a single man and I don't need to pay rent. I only need to eat. I don't have a salary.
Yes, but life for young people is a bit difficult, and many people can’t hold on, so... I’m the one shamelessly begging, I’m sorry.”
It's really tragic. Chihara Rinto is such a hard-hearted and utilitarian person in the workplace, and feels pity for him. With an annual income of just over one million, he's just living in Tokyo. I don't know how these people persist.
of.
He couldn't help but ask: "Why is the income so low? Is it a problem with your company's operation or is this the industry's income?"
"This is true across the industry, and painters' incomes are very poor."
"Aren't there some excellent works in the past two years? Where did the money you earned go?"
"The production committee took it away." Xiao Gongliang answered honestly and then explained directly.
After the "Second Release of Evil Books Incident", the animation production industry was severely hit. It has not recovered for several consecutive years. No one is willing to invest a lot of money in the production of cartoons. It feels that the risk is too great——
Wouldn't it be better to have that kind of money to make movies or TV series? Anyway, they are similar in nature.
Then someone came up with a way to set up a production committee and solicit investment from all over the world. The capital would provide part of the money, the TV station or production company would provide part of the money, and the toy manufacturer would provide part of the money. Anyway, as long as the money can be obtained, it doesn’t matter whose money it is.
, they all use it first, and when the work is finished, everyone will share the investment according to the investment.
This has indeed revived the animation industry, but at the same time it has produced a serious sequelae - capital is inherently greedy, and investors have basically wiped out all the profits from the works, leaving only three melons and two ounces in the hands of the painters.
Zao, seeing that he couldn't even eat, he really used the painter as a slave.
Qianhara Rinto quickly understood and felt a sense of enlightenment - no wonder in the 21st century, the dramas are getting worse year by year. The source is here, and they can't even eat. How can this industry be so good?
With the new blood coming in, how many of them can really use their love to generate electricity?
Once the old blood recedes, new blood cannot be replaced, so it’s no wonder the quality is good.
He is not this kind of person. He doesn't care about how much money he makes, and he doesn't intend to deliberately exploit his subordinates. He just hopes to produce good works. He immediately said sincerely: "I understand. You don't need to worry about anything in this regard. I am not recruiting slaves."
, as long as everyone works hard and gets the treatment they deserve, even if I pay for it myself, I will definitely let everyone live a normal life. Even now, I can promise that your annual income will not be less than five million.
Yen, and royalties are calculated separately. The rest of the people will earn more than three million yen a year based on their positions and contributions. The more you work, the more you get, and no one will work hungry."
For example, Murakami, Tsumura and others followed him. Not to mention salary, bonuses and various benefits, the annual income from royalties alone exceeds 10 million yen. Three to five million yen has been ignored for a long time -
—As long as they can get ratings, these people don't have to worry about income at all. Even salary is not worth mentioning. It doesn't matter whether they get paid or not as long as they eat peripheral food.
He was extremely confident, and his tone of voice was extremely sincere, which immediately stunned Xiao Gongliang. Even the young artists who were secretly paying attention from a distance were excited - and royalties? In the animation production industry, this is simply not possible.
It’s not the painters’ turn to get it!
He is worthy of being a legendary figure, he is indeed quite impressive!
The reason why these people persist is because they love this industry, but it is human nature to want a decent and prosperous life. It is difficult to refuse. Immediately, countless eyes turned to Xiao Gongliang, and Xiao Gongliang did not hesitate at all and stood up suddenly.
He stood up, bowed and held Qianyuan Rinto's hand, and said with red eyes: "Then we will leave it to you, Qianyuan."
Qianyuan Rinto's eyebrows trembled. He was obviously here to recruit talented people, but he didn't expect that talented people would take the initiative to sell themselves without telling him. In the end, he almost cried, and he bowed to him as soon as he got close to him. Could it be that he had been working for three and a half years and became a good candidate?
Director of the production bureau, is he finally feeling a bit domineering?
Fortunately, he reacted immediately, and held Xiao Gongliang's hand tightly, and said seriously: "You're welcome, you are welcome to join the Guandong United, as long as you do what you like, I will do the rest, and you will not
