City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 267 Treatment from Xingchen Animation Company!
After watching the video sent by the student, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with surprise.

Although it is only the first episode of the work, and it is only 5 minutes long.

But the characters and backgrounds that appeared were enough to make Ye Chen's eyes light up.

In the first episode of Kitty Porridge, only four characters appeared.

Cat father, cat mother, kitten Zorridge, and little brother Fanfan.

The image design of the anime characters is very good.

Using bright colors as the main tone, through simple strokes, the images of cute kittens are outlined on the paper.

Father Cat wears glasses and has an elegant air. It can be seen that he is very doting on his children.

The mother cat’s eyes are gentle, but it can be seen that the family status is the highest.

The cat brother can't speak yet and can only meow, but he especially likes duck dolls.

Finally, there is the protagonist, the kitten Porridge.

She has soft golden fur, wears a red skirt, is innocent and doesn't like to drink porridge.

In just 5 minutes of plot, several people communicated through simple and childlike interactions.

The characters of the whole family are fully displayed to the audience.

This undoubtedly fully demonstrated the students' superb script writing skills.

Looking at it from Ye Chen's perspective.

The first episode of this children's anime manages to do this.

Even if it can't explode, it will definitely not hit the streets.

After all, the cute cartoon characters alone are enough to win the love of children.

But what surprised Ye Chen the most was the story background of Kitten Porridge.

Although the protagonist is a cute little animal.

But the story takes place in a modern metropolis.

The protagonist's family lives in a building.

Using various electrical appliances that only humans can use.

Full of modern life.

Like most domestic children's animations, they basically have fictional backgrounds.

The same goes for Pleasant Goat, Infested Bears, Pig Man and the like.

There are very few animations set in modern society.

From this alone, you can see that the students are attentive.

Ye Chen flipped through the mailbox with interest.

I want to read the script and find out what kind of story Mao Mao Porridge is going to tell.

The script was downloaded quickly.

After watching for a while, the surprise in Ye Chen's eyes became even stronger.

In a script produced by students.

Kitten Porridge is a children's animation in the form of a unit drama.

To put it simply, it revolves around the Porridge family as the protagonists of the story, and a short story happens in each episode.

The whole script is a bit loose and has no main line.

Basically, it’s all the ordinary little things in daily life.

For example, Porridge's younger brother goes to kindergarten, Porridge's family can't sleep at night and go out to watch the stars, Porridge learns to draw, Porridge goes to the supermarket, Daddy Pig cooks, Porridge quarrels with friends and other small things.

It may sound boring.

But the students used interesting designs, childlike words and slightly exaggerated plot development.

Instead, it makes these ordinary little things lively and interesting.

Most importantly, the story is childish but not childish.

Even an adult like Ye Chen can find some fun watching it.

I couldn't help showing my aunt's smile.

This is definitely a good thing for parents who want to watch TV with their children.

Ye Chen is really satisfied with the students' works.

The animation character design is outstanding.

The plot is interesting.

Don’t blindly follow the trend, be original.

The most interesting thing is the down-to-earthness of the script.

It is in line with the national conditions and allows children to have a sense of involvement.

To put it simply, many of the short stories in it are close to reality.

For example, the title of the script for one episode is "Noise."

Congee and his younger brother like to play with yarn balls at home. The two of them throw them around and run around.

The loud banging made the people downstairs unbearable and they came up to ask for silence.

Porridge and my younger brother were not happy. They felt that I could play whatever I wanted at home, which only made it more noisy.

As a result, there was a change of tenants upstairs the next day, and the noise was noisy, which made Congee and his brother uncomfortable.

Only then did they realize how much trouble the noise would cause downstairs.

After realizing my mistake, I went downstairs to apologize...

Things like conflicts between neighbors due to noise are completely common in China where urbanization has developed.

Children are the main source of noise.

There is no character in the script who talks big truths to children.

But after reading the whole story, it is enough for any child to understand that jumping around at home will cause noise downstairs.

While it is educational, it is also interesting.

There are many similar stories.

It is enough to see the students’ intentions.

After all, the students are only in their third year of college, so it is really not easy to write so many stories that are close to children's lives.

In short.

After reading the script.

Ye Chen's attitude changed very quickly from not having any expectations to being greatly surprised.

It would be an understatement to say that Sichuan Opera has changed its face.

It can be said that the degree of completion of the work is very high.

If I had to find fault, it would be that the soundtrack and theme song of the first episode were a bit off.

To put it simply, it's a bit of a stretch.

Apparently the students had little confidence in their first work and were unwilling to spend too much money.

So I just found someone to compose music and made it work.

But an excellent theme song is crucial to an anime work.

Just like many people's childhood memories of "Digimon".

As soon as the theme song plays, you will become an adult.

DNA can't help but move along with the melody.

If the first children's animation created by one's own students is of average quality, then forget it.

But this little cat porridge is obviously very good in Ye Chen's opinion.

Ye Chen didn't know whether it would explode or not, it all depends on luck.

But the optical quality is definitely not bad.

It would be a shame if the theme song was too weak and the work was held back.

So Ye Chen looked at the time.

Just call the person in charge of Xingchen Animation Company.

Ask him to summon the students from the children's animation group and say that he wants to hold a small meeting for them.

hang up the phone.

Ye Chen stood up leisurely and walked towards the back of the campus.

Xingchen Animation Company now operates within the college.

But this is only temporary.

After students majoring in civil engineering and property management complete their studies.

When building a residential complex, you can also build an office building.

Move all the holding companies of your own college into it.

However, considering that the redemption speed of majors in our own college is getting faster and faster, more and more related subsidiaries will be established.

Ye Chen suddenly felt that one office building might not be enough.

Then I might as well buy a piece of land and build a business park of tens of thousands acres by myself.

By then, in an industrial park, there will be holding companies of their own colleges everywhere.

The combined market capitalization is higher than that of a province or even the GDP of many countries.

That scene is very satisfying to think about.

……

Star Animation Company.

"Zuo Xue, let's go have afternoon tea. Today there are cakes and snacks made by culinary students. Everyone went."

Next to Zuo Xue's workstation.

A classmate, roommate, and colleague came to tell Zuo Xue to rest.

Zuo Xue shook her head when she heard this.

"I think the image of Duoduo the hamster is still a little imperfect. I'll think about it for a while..."

Hearing this, the colleague shook his head helplessly: "Although the college treats us very well, you don't have to work so hard. You can take a little rest without delaying things. The principal said that the best way is to balance work and rest."

Zuo Xue smiled and did not explain.

Everyone is actually very attentive.

But the reason why I work harder is actually for a reason that no one knows.

That is gratitude!
The principal saved his home.

Zuo Xue still remembers that her mother was seriously ill and was in the ICU, and her family went bankrupt and had to sell their house.

And there will be a time when I will not be able to pay my tuition fees.

It was simply too gloomy, with no hope at all.

At that moment, it was the principal who seemed to illuminate his life with a ray of light and gave him new hope.

The principal’s 20.

Solved his family's urgent need.

And then there will be opportunities such as the mini-program for writing manuscripts, comic book adaptations, etc.

It also allowed me to earn a higher income as a college student than people in society.

Help the home quickly restore its former appearance.

After Zuo Xue graduated from college as a sophomore, she saved nearly 20 yuan.

I want to return it to the principal.

But he was rejected by the principal.

The principal told her personally at the time that she was still young and should use money to improve herself first.

Wait until your career is successful.

Then go help others in need.

These words brought a lot of shock to Zuo Xue.

It also made her admire her principal even more.

So after his sophomore year, even though there were many animation companies and game companies, they offered Zuo Xue an olive branch.

I hope Zuo Xue can go to the other party’s company for an internship.

The monthly salary offered is [-] to [-] yuan.

But Zuo Xue refused without hesitation.Choose to intern at the college's animation company and receive a salary of [-] yuan.

When I first came.

The principal wants to create a children's animation. Many students are not very interested in making children's animation. They think the Sleeping Fairy series is more handsome and promising.

Zuo Xue, however, joined the children's animation group without any hesitation.

At the same time, he also took on the important task of character design.

The image of the kitten and porridge family.

That's after the screenwriter confirms the outline of the script.

Zuo Xue stayed up countless nights and thought hard before creating the piece.

After that, Zuo Xue didn't stop at all.

Every day, I discuss the character and background of the characters with my classmates, in order to create as cute an image of a small animal as possible that fits the background.

The reason why you work so hard.

It was because Zuo Xue wanted to repay the principal and the college in this way.

After all, if there were no principal and college.

I will never be as comfortable as I am now.

As for what will happen to his own mother and his family, he cannot even think about it.

But just when Zuo Xue was thinking about how to make the hamster Duoduo cuter.

A message came.

The principal actually wanted to convene a meeting with the production team of "Kitten Porridge".

Everyone went to the conference room to wait.

After receiving the news, Zuo Xue's eyes showed joy.

On the one hand, she was able to see the principal again.

Although they are on the same campus, the principal is obviously very busy and it is not easy to see him.

on the other hand.

The team just sent the project plan for "Kitten Porridge" and the prototype of the first episode.

The principal came to the meeting immediately.

Could it be that the work was approved?
The animation image you created was approved by the principal?

With excitement and anticipation, Zuo Xue immediately went to the conference room.

She wants to sit at the front.

When the other members of the team got the news, they immediately ran to the conference room.

Only the students of the Sleeping Immortal group were left, looking on with envy.

Because Sleeping Immortal is a work in a large universe.

In the future, immortals will appear one by one, and then they will be connected in series so that they can appear in the same work.

So the background setting must be strict.

Otherwise, we have to be like Marvel, which always eats settings and books.

Combat power is also prone to bugs.

For example, the US team's combat power is erratic.

There is also Iron Man. In the first part, he was flying at sonic speed and collided with a fighter jet. In the third part, he was hit by a car and his hand was broken...

This is a lesson learned from the past and should be avoided as much as possible.

However, the strict background setting makes the progress of the Sleeping Immortal group impossible to be too fast.

It is still in the preparatory stage.

The members also discuss background stories and confirm character details.

But now I see the principals are here.

The students of the Sleeping Immortal group secretly made up their minds to speed up.

……

When Ye Chen entered the conference room.

The students from the Cat Cat Porridge Group have been waiting for their seats for a long time.

Looking at the principal, there was admiration and gratitude in his eyes.

After all, I am the first student majoring in animation.

Their college entrance examination scores are very average.

It can't even be said to be average, it can be said to be a stretch.

It was entirely luck that they were able to enter Star Academy.

After entering Star Academy, their lives have undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes.

From the original poor students, negative teaching materials.

He suddenly became a role model for his younger siblings, a successful person, and the pride of his family and parents.

During college, I easily earned tens of thousands a month.

After the internship, you will also receive a basic monthly salary of [-] yuan, as well as various holiday subsidies.

And after the work is completed, there will be incentive bonuses.

This may be many times higher than the salary.

Of course, the most important thing is that the company does not work overtime.

The principal personally said at that time that the company did not provide overtime pay and did not support overtime work.

Saturdays and Sundays must be rested.

Nine to five, with a two-hour break at noon.

If something happens at home, you can also apply for working from home.

There are even [-] days of annual leave. You can take it whenever you want without any excuse.

If you don't take annual leave.

The company will also provide double salary subsidies at the end of the year.

Moreover, there is a meal subsidy every day. You can directly transfer the money to your meal card and go to the college cafeteria to eat.

The job benefits are better than those in foreign companies.

If you tell me, countless college students will be envious of you.

I ask every day if the company still has a shortage of sweepers.

And all of this was obviously brought to them by the academy.

If not.

With their few college entrance examination scores, they are considered lucky to be able to find a job with a monthly salary of [-] yuan per day as an intern.

And on the Internet, many college students are criticizing them, thinking that they are just lucky.

If a dog were to enter Star Academy, they would have achieved their results.

They almost never refute such comments.

Instead, he will be extra honest in his comments and admit that he is just lucky.

It might actually work if you bring another dog to the academy.

Because that's what it is.

But what they didn't expect was that they all responded so honestly and politely.

There was no aggression in the words.

But the opponent basically broke through the defense on the spot.

It's a bit strange.

……

However, while enjoying the high treatment, the students are also grateful and working hard.

Maybe there was a lot of rest time and everyone had enough fun.

So I basically don’t fish during working hours.

Like a writers group.

At least more than 100 ideas were rejected before finally settling on the idea of ​​kitten porridge.

The subsequent detailed scripts, scripts, etc. required at least hundreds of thousands of words of manuscripts to be scrapped before they were finalized.

As for the characters, they were iterated from version to version.

No one thought about just making ends meet.

Everyone strives for perfection.

The company does not allow overtime work after work.

Everyone even took the initiative to drink coffee together, chatting about characters and creativity.

It is precisely because of this.

They were able to create the story of Kitten Porridge from scratch in less than two months.

And now, it's finally time to reap the results.

They were all eager and anxious to know whether the works they had worked so hard to create would be satisfactory to the principal.

Ye Chen stood at the front of the conference room, looking at the students with expectations in their eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

Marven didn't show off, but he was the first to speak directly: "This work called "Kitten Porridge" surprised me!"

"I think when the finished product is released, it will definitely rank among the best children's animations in the world."

"When I think that such a work was created by an intern who is just a junior at our Star College, I feel proud of you from the bottom of my heart!"

"What you did is really great!"

"It's beyond my expectation."

When Ye Chen's voice fell.

The conference room was quiet for a moment.

The students' eyes widened.

Obviously they didn't expect that they would be able to receive such praise from the principal.

Being recognized by the principal like this undoubtedly made them feel proud.

next moment.

The students stood up collectively and cheered loudly.

Making children's animations puts a lot of pressure on them.

After all, it seems easy, but it’s actually really hard to do.

It's too preachy and obviously not interesting. No one likes to watch TV and be preached to.

The plot is pretty light, after all, the audience is children.

If the plot is too complicated or too dark, it is definitely not a qualified children's anime.

And the work must have that childlike flavor.

They have recently watched a lot of children's works, and the core of most of them is actually a cold adult perspective, not seeing the world from a child's perspective at all.

In order to better understand the world in their children's eyes.

I check information online every day and ask my parents and relatives about the things and process of taking care of my children.

Some are even misunderstood by their family members, who wonder if their children are the product of love from their partners...

There are countless people who post short videos about interesting things about children.

As a result, they are only 20 years old, and when they open Douyin, they are filled with short videos of taking care of children.

When you are having dinner with your friends, just scroll through Douyin, and you will enjoy the incredible looks from the friends next to you.

After all, at this age, shouldn’t Douyin’s recommendations be all handsome guys and beauties?

In short, they really paid too much for the work.

But now, I can get such recognition from the principal.

Everyone felt that all the hard work before was worth it!

　I originally wanted to create a children's animation myself, but I wasted a lot of time and couldn't come up with anything interesting. I can only say that I don't have the brains.

　　We can only learn from Peppa Pig.

　　The default here is that there is no Peppa Pig in the world in the book...
