Chapter 267 Treatment at Xingchen Animation Company!

After watching the video sent by the students, Ye Chen's eyes flashed with surprise.

Although it was only the first episode of the work, and it was only five minutes long.

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

In the first episode of Little Cat Zhou Zhou, only four characters appeared.

Cat Dad, Cat Mom, Little Cat Zhou Zhou, and Brother Fan Fan.

The image design of the anime characters is very excellent.

With bright colors as the main color, through simple strokes, the cute images of kittens are drawn on paper.

Cat Dad wears glasses and has a refined atmosphere. It can be seen that he is very doting on his children.

Cat Mom has gentle eyes, but it can be seen that he has the highest status in the family.

Little Cat can't speak yet, he can only meow, but he especially likes duck dolls.

Finally, it's the protagonist Little Cat Zhou Zhou.

With golden soft fur, wearing a red skirt, innocent, and doesn't like to drink porridge.

In just five minutes of the plot, through the simple and childlike communication between several people.

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

This undoubtedly shows the students' superb scriptwriting skills to the fullest.

From Ye Chen's perspective.

The first episode of this children's animation can achieve this level.

Even if it doesn't become popular, it will definitely not flop.

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

But what surprised Ye Chen the most was the story background of the little cat Zhou Zhou.

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.

They use all kinds of electrical appliances that only humans can use.

It is full of modern life.

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

What Pleasant Goat, Bears, and Pig Man are all like this.

There are very few animations with modern society as the background.

Just this point, you can see that the students are attentive.

Ye Chen flipped through the mailbox with great interest.

I want to see the script and understand what kind of story the little cat Zhou Zhou wants to tell.

The script was downloaded quickly.

After watching for a while, Ye Chen's eyes were more amazed.

In the script made by the students.

Little Cat Zhou Zhou is a children's animation in the form of a unit drama.

In short, it revolves around Zhou Zhou's family as the protagonists of the story, and a small story happens in each episode.

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

They are basically some trivial things in daily life.

For example, Zhou Zhou's younger brother goes to kindergarten, Zhou Zhou's family can't sleep at night and go out to see the stars, Zhou Zhou learns to paint, Zhou Zhou goes to the supermarket, Pig Dad cooks, Zhou Zhou quarrels with friends and other trivial things.

It may be a bit boring to say.

But the students use interesting designs, innocent words and slightly exaggerated plot development.

Instead, these ordinary little things become vivid and interesting.

The most important thing is that the story is childish but not naive.

Even adults like Ye Chen can find some fun in watching it.

I couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

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 design of the cartoon characters is outstanding.

The plot is interesting.

Don't blindly follow the trend, be original.

The most interesting part is that the script is down-to-earth.

It conforms to the national conditions and makes children feel involved.

In short, many of the small stories in it are close to reality.

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

Zhou Zhou and his brother like to play with wool balls at home. The two of them throw and run around.

The banging and banging made the people downstairs unbearable, and they came up to ask for quiet.

Zhou Zhou and his brother were unhappy, thinking that I played whatever I wanted in my own home, but it made more noise.

As a result, the next day, the upstairs tenants changed, and they also made a lot of noise, which made Zhou Zhou and his brother uncomfortable.

They only then realized how much trouble the noise would cause downstairs.

After realizing their mistakes, they went downstairs to apologize...

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

And children are the main source of noise.

No character in the script speaks to children.

But after reading the whole story, it is enough to make any child understand that jumping around at home will disturb the people downstairs.

It is full of educational significance and interesting at the same time.

There are many similar stories.

It is enough to see the students' intentions.

After all, the students are just juniors, and it is really not easy to write so many stories close to children's lives.

In short.

After reading the script.

Ye Chen's attitude changed very quickly from no expectations to great surprise.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a Sichuan opera face-changing.

It can be said that the work is already very complete.

If you have to find fault, it is that the soundtrack and theme song of the first episode are a bit worse.

In short, it is a bit lame.

Obviously, the students have little confidence in the first work and are reluctant to spend too much money.

So they just find someone to compose the music.

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

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

When the theme song sounded, even if you are an adult.

DNA can't help but move to the melody.

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

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

Ye Chen doesn't know whether it will be a hit or not, it depends on luck.

But the quality is definitely not bad.

If the theme song is not good, it will drag down the work, which is a pity.

So Ye Chen looked at the time.

He immediately called the person in charge of Xingchen Animation Company.

Asked him to gather the students in the children's animation group and said that he would hold a small meeting for them.

Hang up the phone.

Ye Chen got up leisurely and walked to the back of the campus.

Xingchen Animation Company is now working inside the college.

But this is only temporary.

After the students of civil engineering and property management majors finish their studies.

When building residential buildings in the community, you can also build an office building.

Move all the holding companies of your own college in.

However, if you think about the faster and faster exchange rate of the majors in his own college, there will definitely be more and more related subsidiaries.

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

Then he might as well buy a piece of land and build a startup park of tens of thousands of acres.

At that time, there will be holding companies of his own college everywhere in an industrial park.

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

That scene is very cool to think about.

…

Xingchen Animation Company.

“Zuo Xue, let’s go for afternoon tea. Today there are cakes and snacks made by students majoring in culinary arts. Everyone is going.”

Next to Zuo Xue’s workstation.

Classmate, roommate and colleague came to call Zuo Xue to rest.

Zuo Xue shook her head when she heard this.

“I think the image of hamster Duoduo is still a little imperfect. I will think about it for a while…”

Hearing this, the colleague shook his head helplessly: “Although the college is very good to us, you don’t have to work so hard. It won’t delay things to take a little rest. The principal said that the combination of work and rest is the best.”

Zuo Xue smiled and didn’t explain.

Everyone is actually very attentive.

But the reason why I work harder is actually unknown to everyone.

That is gratitude!

The principal saved my family.

Zuo Xue still remembers that her mother was seriously ill and in the ICU, and her family was bankrupt and almost sold the house.

And the days when she was about to not be able to pay the tuition.

It was so dark that she could not see any hope at all.

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

The principal's 200,000 yuan.

Solved her family's urgent needs.

And the subsequent opportunities such as commissioned mini programs and comic adaptations.

It also allowed her to earn higher income than social people as a college student.

Helped her family quickly restore its former appearance.

After graduating from her sophomore year, Zuo Xue saved nearly 200,000 yuan.

Wanted to return it to the principal.

But was rejected by the principal.

The principal told her in person at the time that she was still young and used the money to improve herself first.

After her career was successful.

Then help other people in need.

These words shocked Zuo Xue a lot.

It also made her admire her principal even more.

So after the end of the sophomore year, even though many animation companies and game companies offered olive branches to Zuo Xue.

They hoped that Zuo Xue could intern in their companies.

The monthly salary offered was 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.

But Zuo Xue refused without hesitation.

She chose to intern in the animation company of the college and accepted a salary of 10,000 yuan.

When she first came.

The principal wanted to create a children's animation. Many students were not very interested in making children's animation. They thought that the Sleeping Immortal series was more handsome and more promising.

Zuo Xue did not hesitate at all and joined the children's animation group.

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

The image of the cat Zhou Zhou's family.

It was after the screenwriter confirmed the outline of the script.

Zuo Xue stayed up countless nights and pondered to create it.

After that, Zuo Xue did not stop at all.

Every day, she discussed the character's personality and background with her classmates to create as cute and fitting images of small animals as possible.

The reason for this hard work.

Because Zuo Xue wanted to repay the principal and the college in this way.

After all, if there were no principal and the academy.

I would never be as comfortable as I am now.

And what would happen to my mother and my family? I dare not even think about it.

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

A message came.

The principal actually wanted to call a meeting for the production team of "Little Cat Zhou Zhou".

Everyone went to the conference room to wait.

Zuo Xue's eyes showed joy when she got the news.

On the one hand, she could see the principal again.

Although they were in the same campus, the principal was obviously very busy and it was not easy to see him.

On the other hand.

The team just sent the plan for "Little Cat Zhou Zhou" and the first episode of the trial.

The principal came to the meeting immediately.

Could it be that the work was approved?

The anime character she created was recognized by the principal?

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

She wants to sit in the front seat.

When the rest of the team got the news, they all ran to the conference room immediately.

Only the students of the Sleeping Immortal Group were left, watching with some envy.

Because Sleeping Immortal is a work of the universe.

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

So the background setting must be strict.

Otherwise, it will be like Marvel, which will always break the setting and the book.

It is also easy to have bugs in combat power.

For example, the 50-50 Captain America has erratic combat power.

And Iron Man, in the first part, he was fine when he crashed into a fighter plane at supersonic speed, but in the third part, he was hit by a car and his hand was broken...

These are all lessons learned from the past, and we should try to avoid them as much as possible.

But the strict background setting made it impossible for the Sleeping Immortal Group to progress too fast.

It is still in the preparation stage.

The members are still designing and discussing the background story, and confirming the details of the character image.

But now seeing the principal coming.

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

…

When Ye Chen entered the conference room.

The students of the Xiaomao Zhouzhou group had been waiting in their seats.

There was admiration and gratitude in their eyes when they looked at the principal.

After all, they were the first batch of students majoring in animation.

Their college entrance examination scores were very average.

They could not even be called average, but they were completely lame.

They were able to enter Xingchen Academy entirely by luck.

After entering Xingchen Academy, their lives undoubtedly changed dramatically.

From the original poor students and negative examples.

They became role models for their younger brothers and sisters, successful people, and the pride of their families and parents.

During college, they easily earned tens of thousands of yuan a month.

After the internship, they also had a basic monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, and various holiday subsidies.

And after the work is completed, there is also a share of the incentive bonus.

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 said personally at the time that the company did not have overtime pay and did not support overtime.

Saturdays and Sundays must be rested.

9 am to 5 pm, and there is a two-hour break at noon.

If there is something at home, you can also apply to work from home.

There are 18 days of annual leave, you can take it whenever you want, without any excuse.

If you don't take annual leave.

The company will subsidize you at double your salary at the end of the year.

And there is also a meal allowance every day, which is directly deposited into the meal card, and you can eat in the college cafeteria.

This job treatment is better than that of foreign companies.

If you tell others, countless college students will be envious.

Every day they ask if the company is still short of sweepers.

And all this is obviously brought to them by the college.

If not.

With their college entrance examination scores, they are lucky to find a job with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan and one day off during internship.

And on the Internet, there are many college students who are jealous of them, thinking that they are just lucky.

If someone else came to Xingchen College, they would have achieved their achievements.

For such comments, they basically never refute them.

Instead, they will be particularly honest in the comments, admitting that they are just lucky.

If someone else came to the college, it might really work.

Because that's the fact.

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

There was no aggression in the words.

But the other party was basically broken on the spot.

It was really a bit strange.

…

However, while enjoying the malicious high treatment, the students were all grateful and worked hard.

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

So they basically didn't slack off during work time.

Like the screenwriter team.

At least more than a hundred ideas were rejected before the idea of ​​Little Cat Zhou Zhou was finally determined.

The detailed scripts, scripts, etc., at least hundreds of thousands of words of manuscripts were discarded before they were finalized.

And the character images and so on, that was iterated version after version.

No one thought of just making do.

Everyone strives for perfection.

The company does not allow overtime after work.

Everyone takes the initiative to get together for coffee, talk about character personalities, and talk about creativity.

It is precisely because of this.

They were able to create the story of Little Cat Zhou Zhou from scratch in less than two months.

And now, it is finally time to reap the results.

They all eagerly and nervously want to know whether their hard-earned works can satisfy the principal.

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

Ye Chen didn't keep the secret, and spoke first: "This work called "Little Cat Zhou Zhou" amazed me!"

"I think when the finished product comes out, it will definitely be able to stand out among the best children's animation in the world."

"When I think that such a work was created by our junior interns in Xingchen Academy, I am proud of you from the bottom of my heart!"

"You did a great job!"

"It's beyond my expectation."

When Ye Chen finished speaking.

The conference room was quiet for a moment.

The students all widened their eyes.

Obviously, they didn't expect that they could get such praise from the principal.

Being recognized by the principal undoubtedly made them feel proud.

The next moment.

The students stood up and cheered loudly.

They were under great pressure to make children's animation.

After all, it seems easy, but it is actually not easy to do.

If it is too preachy, it is obviously not interesting. No one likes to be preached while watching TV.

The plot is still easy, after all, the audience is children.

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

And the work must have a taste of innocence.

They have watched a lot of children's works recently. The core of most of the works is actually a cold adult perspective, and they don't see the world from the perspective of children at all.

In order to better understand the world in the eyes of children.

They search for information on the Internet every day and ask their parents and relatives about the things and processes of taking care of children.

Some of them are even misunderstood by their families, wondering if their children are the fruit of love between their partners...

There are countless short videos of children's fun.

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

When I was having dinner with friends, I would casually scroll through Douyin and enjoy the incredulous looks from my friends.

After all, at this age, shouldn’t Douyin recommend handsome men and beautiful women?

In short, they really paid too much for their works.

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

Everyone feels that all the hard work before is worth it!

I originally wanted to create an original children's animation, but I wasted a lot of time and couldn't think of an interesting one. I can only say that I don't have the brain.

I can only refer to Peppa Pig.

It is assumed here that there is no Peppa Pig in the world of the book...
