Chapter 798 New People

As the most profitable subsidiary of Kirin Group, Kirin Culture is now located in the industrial park at the foot of Lau Fau Mountain, but it is very different.

They own a total of five office buildings, all of which are elevator buildings with thousands of square meters on each floor and a total of 8 floors.

Among them, "Qilin Weekly" occupies three buildings, including the editorial department, distribution department, comic production department and other departments.

The comics production department is the best. They now own two large office buildings. Each comic has a floor for them to squander. Even Zeng Huaqian's "Chibi Maruko-chan" publishes a monthly magazine with only four people. They all occupied one floor, and it was almost unbearably empty.

In addition, the Kirin Culture and Animation Department also occupies an entire building, with various equipment piled inside. Animators and artists do not have fixed working positions, and they can often be seen running around.

However, the animation department is the busiest and most nervous department of Qilin Culture, because comics are a little easier to produce. After all, they are four-frame comics. The number of serializations per week has dropped to 30 pages. The animation department's "Transformers" must be published every week. To broadcast an animation of about 21 minutes, you can imagine how tight the time is.

That is to say, Yin Jun has a lot of money and has successively sent more than fifty artists and animators to the "Transformers" production team, including 30 animators sent by the Asahi Group. Otherwise, they would not change now. So comfortable.

Therefore, this time, 69 additional artists and animators were transferred from the three major factories of Shangmei Factory, Keying Factory and Changying Factory, plus 100 students from the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts and the Central Academy of Fine Arts. When I came to Xiangjiang, you can imagine how welcomed I was by the animation department.

In addition to the company's various arrangements, the animation department also had an unprecedented day off, and each took the novices to visit the city. Even the Japanese animators also acted as tour guides with the help of a few words of Cantonese they learned. .

This enthusiastic attitude directly diluted the nervousness and unfamiliarity of the new staff, leaving only excitement.

Although the leaders and teachers probably told them about their respective treatments before coming, it was only after they arrived in Xiangjiang and signed the contract with Qilin Culture that they felt at ease and became truly excited and happy.

Even 100 students at the Academy of Fine Arts, which has the lowest salary, have a basic monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, Hong Kong dollars.

The remaining senior masters from the three major animation factories directly asked for 6,000, which was a lot higher than the 4,000 they offered when they were first recruited two years ago.

Of course, everyone knows that when working at Qilin Culture, the salary is the most common and basic. If you work well, the bonus will be at least several times, or even dozens of times, the salary.

For example, Chang Huanxi, the animation director of Kirin Culture and Animation who had just been replaced, Yin Jun was not in Xiangjiang when he left, but Le Yiling, the CEO of Kirin Group, personally invited him to dinner and gave him a big red envelope of 1 million Hong Kong dollars. , to thank him for his contribution, which made countless people jealous and wanted to work harder in order to get more red envelopes.

After talking to Hong Jinbao about the matter, Yin Jun declined his invitation to dinner and went directly to the Kirin Culture and Animation Department.

In the beginning, the headquarters of Kirin Culture, a small business, was a three-story building on Broadcasting Road. The place was a bit cramped. The strangest thing was that Yin Jun allowed them to live there.

But it was such a narrow and simple place that left the most profound and beautiful memories to the original Qilin Culture artists and animators.

Not only is entrepreneurship beautiful, but also the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, and the free atmosphere.

So when they came to Lau Fau Shan, they basically copied everything from the old headquarters over there.

The first floor is a relaxing place with a table tennis table, badminton court, sofas and a study room.

The second floor is a restaurant and cafe, as well as some piano rooms, calligraphy rooms, etc. next to it.

Starting from the third floor is the workroom. There is no distinction between everyone's working position. Everyone works at each workbench when they have an idea, or they start to meet in the central area, where everyone discusses and makes decisions.

It was almost 10 o'clock at this time. In the eyes of people who work normally, it is the time to work seriously. However, these technical geeks often work overtime at night, so there are many people who only get up at 10 o'clock during the day.

Moreover, Yin Jun also heard about it just now, because the employees from the mainland have just arrived and are not familiar with many places. He said that these days they mostly focus on observation, and restaurants and coffee shops are where they most often stay, discuss and exchange opinions. The place.

All right.

To be honest, most of the people who are willing to stay on the second floor are young people, namely students from the two major art schools.

They are only 22 or 23 years old at most. They have just arrived in Hong Kong from the poor and backward mainland, and everything feels new.

Although I am embarrassed to go shopping in the city these days, the restaurants and cafes here have too many novelties, including dozens of drinks, dozens of fruits, dozens of snacks, and dozens of set meals every day ...These made them eat and drink with great enthusiasm, and in order not to waste it, several people suffered from gastrointestinal problems.

It was the newly appointed animation director Hu Yi who called them together and severely criticized them, and these students who had not yet graduated calmed down a lot.

Yin Jun came to the building of the animation department.

Most of the 100 students who came will be assigned to the comic groups of various "Kilin Weekly" first, helping with some tedious work of doing chores and sketching, and then freeing up their senior brothers and sisters, so that these people can I can come over again to support the animation department.

The animation department now knows it, and they will soon split it into two parts and allocate manpower to work on "Tomb Raider", the second animated film of Qilin Culture.

Fortunately, in addition to the more than 50 people they had before, artists from major comics here also supported about 20 people. Plus this time, there were about 40 animators from the three major factories. In the end, students also It took 20 people to come over and not dismantle their entire rack.

It is estimated that the manpower for "Tomb Raider" will be about 70. Since this does not have any urgent time requirements, under the leadership of veteran employees, they can have enough time to adjust and do not have to worry about being like "Transformers". Same, I was as busy as a top in the early days.

However, only one-third of them are old employees. It is estimated that the task of training and teaching new employees will also give them some headaches.

When Yin Jun came over, he happened to see a group of young student-looking employees, carrying drinks and snacks, talking about something, and from time to time someone stood up and made fun, and the atmosphere was very lively.

This also made Yin Jun breathe a sigh of relief.

He specifically mentioned to the two vice-presidents of the art university that they must take photos of people with strong professional qualities and cheerful and lively personalities. People who are too dull and introverted should not be sent for the time being.

After all, when you come to Xiangjiang, all kinds of pressure will increase. And you must increase your knowledge and learn more things.

If you are the kind of dull student who has been too influenced by the domestic system, coming here will be a problem.

For this reason, during the final selection, Wei Xiaofan took the artists and animators from Shangfang Art Factory to conduct an interview.

In fact, this is also Yin Jun's luck.

Anyone who studies art cannot be a rigid idiot, especially art students. Can they learn art and draw without rich imagination and learning ability?

This is a profession that requires great creativity!

Moreover, in the past few years, there have been no students in the university who are just pretending to be students. It is difficult to find a few students who do not want to make progress and are cheating and cheating.

Therefore, the employees of Shangmei Factory were very satisfied with the successive batches of students, and Le Yiling was also very satisfied with the results.

Since they are so capable and very diligent, wouldn't it be good to relax more and rest their brains during the break so that they can better devote themselves to work?

Seeing that a young girl did not join them, but was sitting aside, occupying a small table, immersed in drawing something, and there was a lot of manuscript paper on the table, Yin Jun walked over curiously.

There were many drawings on the table, and Yin Jun saw them at a glance. They were all portraits of Lara Croft from "Tomb Raider".

Whether it is from the front, the side, casual clothes, desert clothes, snow mountain clothes... every portrait is vivid, and the clothes are also painted very realistically. Yin Jun knows this three-dimensional orthodox painting method, and he gives Many of the characters are drawn in a three-dimensional style by myself.

However, what he painted was a simple Japanese three-dimensional painting that he learned in his previous life, not from a formal academy. It looked very stylish at first glance.

Laura's appearance is Lin Qingxia's, about 70% similar. In addition, she is more tenacious than Sister Qingxia, and has a bit of the temperament of the future Eastern leader.

When Yin Jun looked at it, he felt like he was being drawn by an artist from the comic team of "Tomb Raider", and he was very skilled. With the combination of appearance and eyes, he was completely qualified.

It's really amazing that such a girl who has only been in Xiangjiang for a few days can have such spirituality and understanding.

Why does Yin Jun know that she belongs to the new group of people?

the reason is simple.

Clothes and grooming.

Among the artists and animators in the past, the proportion of girls was relatively low. It was only later that graduates from the two major art schools came over and added a little pink and white.

These girls, three months after arriving in Xiangjiang, their clothes are almost the same as those of Xiangjiang people.

The little girl in front of me was wearing a tacky white shirt, a pair of military green trousers, a pair of embroidered cloth shoes, and a very tacky but very classic ponytail. Of course, she just came from the mainland. A dress that only girls who come here can wear.
