Chapter 1019 Colorful Centipede Essence

There is no time limit for the production of the animation "Yangcun Guardian", and it stands to reason that the progress will be slower than expected.

But in fact……

Since the last time Gu Miao held a meeting and said that he would fire some people who were fishing for fish, the production team worked with great enthusiasm, and the progress was more than twice as fast as planned!
This can't be done for him.

Usually, when there is a time limit for the construction, one by one is delayed, and it is absolutely impossible to finish ahead of schedule before the specified time.

As a result, there was no time limit this time, and the work was done faster than usual, and the quality of the material was better than usual.

This shows what?
It shows that in order to keep their jobs and avoid being the target of the company's layoffs, it is really hard to go to work.

"It's a good thing to have a sense of crisis!"

Lao Zhang said with a smile: "A very interesting fact is that the working attitude of employees before and after layoffs is completely turned upside down."

Wanbao has never laid off employees before, so many employees have the idea of ​​muddling along, going to work to just dawdle, and they are definitely black sheep.

Ever since Wanbao started laying off more than 200 people in one go, it is obvious that the atmosphere of the company has improved a lot.

The bastard who usually goes to work is depressed, picks up his mobile phone to check the time from time to time, thinks about what to eat after get off work, and now has a more correct attitude, for fear that he will be included in the layoff list and lose this in the eyes of relatives and friends. decent work.

"It's overdue."

Gu Miao said angrily: "In the past, the company's development was too fast and the talent pool couldn't keep up. That's why they tried their best to recruit people, and they never refused."

What's the situation now?
Wanbao's talent pool has kept up with the company's development speed, and even overflowed.

In this case, it is natural to change the strategy, from "no rejection" to "merit admission".

"Tell the HR department to set the threshold for recruiting agencies higher, and don't recruit everyone."

Speaking of this, Gu Miao was also full of anger.

I don't know which guy made the wild list, but it actually said that Wanbao Animation is one of the companies with the lowest average academic qualifications in the domestic animation industry.

Isn't this pure nonsense?
The source of his data is completely estimated according to the "recruitment standards" of major companies, but how big is Wanbao?Can the employment standard be the same as that of a small workshop?

But one thing is true.

There are too many people in Wanbao, and a large number of animation professionals have gathered. Among them, good and bad are mixed, and some people are indeed holding back.

What Gu Miao needs to do now is not to expand blindly, but to rectify the personnel administration, get rid of those fake guys in the company, and improve the work efficiency of each studio.

Wolfsburg studio is especially important.

As an independent studio under Wanbao Animation with the largest number of core employees and the largest scale, the chaos of Wolf Castle Studio has long been known to everyone.

A team of nearly 500 people is too large to be honest.

It has become the consensus of Wanbao Animation's senior management to dismember Wolf Castle Studio and optimize staffing.

Wanbao's current staffing is awkward. An ace team such as Wolf Castle Studio has a total of nearly 500 people, while a fringe team like Puppet Studio has more than 30 people at full capacity.

Lightning Studio has gone through several rounds of personnel transfers, project failures and budget cuts, and now there are only 18 core members left.

How can this work?
……

Optimizing the company's staffing and dismembering the largest and bloated Wolf Castle Studio became one of the most important tasks of Wanbao Animation in April.

There is an old saying in the circle that personnel changes will inevitably affect animation projects in production.

In order to reduce the impact as much as possible and reduce the interference to each animation project, Gu Miao and Lao Zhang thought of a way.

Assuming that employee A is participating in the production of a certain animation project, wait for his project to end before executing the personnel transfer order.

for example.

The fifth season of "Things That Rabbit That Year" is currently in production. Judging from the project ownership, this is also a project of Wolf Castle Studio.

But half of the members of this production team have already decided to transfer to Lightning Studio.

Then their current projects will not be affected, they can do what they want to do, and they will report to whoever they should report to, and they will make adjustments after the animation is broadcast online.

Most of the personnel transfers will take the second half of the year to produce results, so there is no impact now.

After all, in April, apart from "Calabash Brothers", Wanbao has no other animation confirmed to be broadcast.

"Calabash Brothers" is a TV animation that started preparations last year. It is produced by Puppet Studio and Meiying Studio, with a total of 26 episodes.

Yes!

There are 26 episodes of Wanbao version of Calabash Baby.

Originally, he planned to make a 52-episode feature-length animation, but Liang Xiaodong said that he really couldn’t do it. The workload of 26 episodes alone made him exhausted, and he might lose his life if there were more than 20 episodes.

This is true.

When others say how hard and difficult his animation is, Gu Miao probably doesn't believe it, but when Liang Xiaodong says this, he absolutely believes it.

After all, "Calabash Brothers" is a paper-cut animation!

Can this workload be compared with ordinary animation?To be honest, paper-cutting is still an intangible cultural heritage. How can it be as easy to do as imagined?

Episode 26 is pretty good too.

In these 26 episodes of animation, the plot is mainly divided into two chapters. The first chapter is the most familiar scorpion essence and snake essence.

The second chapter tells the story of the seven brothers who, after eliminating the snake essence and the scorpion essence, accidentally discovered that the scorpion essence had a sworn brother, the colorful centipede essence.

When the colorful centipede learned that her good brother had been wiped out by the gourd baby, she was immediately enraged, and came to take away her grandfather and the pangolin to vent her anger with a gust of evil wind.

The gourd brothers learned that their grandfather was captured by the centipede, and immediately set off to Qianzu Mountain, the old nest of the centipede, to rescue grandpa, so a new adventure began...

The setting of the colorful centipede is actually an idea provided by Gu Miao.

He said that if the scorpion essence has a sworn brother, it must be a creature like a centipede or a spider, which are also poisonous.

It can't be a cockroach, can it?
As for tigers, lions, jackals and other animals becoming spirits, I feel that it is unlikely that they will get mixed up with scorpion spirits.

After his complaints were heard by Liang Xiaodong, he immediately decided to make a colorful centipede essence to reflect the gold content of "Poison Brother".

not to mention...

The colorful centipede is very powerful. He has a magic baby fan, which blows the ground to create a strong wind, and then fanes the sky to make hail.

Centipede Jing is the main villain dealt with in episodes 14-26 of "The Calabash Brothers". He is very cunning and insidious, and almost wiped out the Calabash Brothers.

Why do you say almost?
Because the villain is always short of breath, and can always leave the protagonist with the possibility of a comeback in a desperate situation.

If the whole group of Calabash Brothers were wiped out in one go, how would the plot continue in the future?
