Chapter 270 Animation Progress
Chapter 270 Animation Progress
"Brother, how long will it take us to complete the production of the first episode of the Monkey King animation?"
"President, you know that there is a shortage of talent in the animation industry. We only have about 50 artists right now, and we carefully selected them from all over the country.
Although these painters do not have a solid foundation and can only barely meet the minimum requirements of the project, they are already the best we can find.
Those who really did not meet the requirements were arranged to go back to school to study again.
This time, Japan sent more than 70 painters to assist, but most of them have already returned to Japan.
I have to admit that the Japanese team's production process is mature, their painters are experienced, and their progress is indeed much faster than ours.
Our Chinese painters are trying hard to learn and catch up, but after all, the foundation is there, so the progress is relatively slow.
But don’t worry too much, according to the current situation, the first episode will be completed in more than a month.”
Jiang Weimin thought about it and then asked another question:
"Brother, based on the current progress, how long will it take to produce an episode of animation in the future?"
Gu Ziyi hesitated for a moment and analyzed carefully, "Based on the current staffing and the artist's technical level, it will take at least three months.
But our artists are very motivated and grow very fast. Once they have accumulated enough experience, the time should be shortened to about two months."
"It's still too slow!"
"It's not slow anymore. The progress is almost as fast as that of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio."
“It’s still too slow. We need to find a way to recruit more people. The animation we produce is more story-oriented. The speed of one episode every two months cannot meet the market demand.
It would be best if we could produce one episode per month, and the long-term goal is to produce one episode per week, so that our animation can gain an advantage in the fiercely competitive market."
Gu Ziyi sighed helplessly and said, "I understand what you said, but this is easier said than done.
To achieve the speed of one episode per week, at least 500 painters would have to work at the same time.
Moreover, such a large team cannot be managed without mature management experience, otherwise it will only become a mess and the efficiency will be lower.”
"Don't worry about the painters. I will discuss it with President Song, or transfer a group of painters from Japan.
As for Japan's advanced management concepts, you must pay more attention to them and learn them well.
Our Monkey King animation is just the beginning. I have a lot of exciting stories to tell, all of which I plan to make into animations. I must create an animation universe that belongs to China!"
Gu Ziyi stared at Jiang Weimin, who was talking eloquently. As the grand blueprint described by Jiang Weimin slowly unfolded,
Those wonderful ideas about the future development of animation were like a gorgeous picture slowly unfolding before Gu Ziyi's eyes.
From innovative animation styles to diversified market expansion, from creating popular IP derivative products to entering the international stage, every plan deeply touched Gu Ziyi's heart.
His face gradually flushed with excitement, and his eyes flashed with a fiery light, as if he had seen the glorious scene of the rise of Chinese animation.
I couldn't help but lean forward slightly, nodding from time to time to express my strong agreement, my heart was excited by the infinite possibilities.
After having an in-depth discussion with Gu Ziyi on animation-related matters, Jiang Weimin immediately plunged into a detailed investigation of the progress of the animation production team.
Jiang Weimin shuttled between various work areas, communicated with the painters face to face, carefully checked the process of each production link, and did not miss any details.
After finishing his understanding of the animation team, Jiang Weimin quickly organized an important meeting with Song Wenqing on the follow-up development of Qingdao Publishing House.
After the work was arranged, Jiang Weimin embarked on his journey to find love.
Arriving at Su Tang's door, Jiang Weimin took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.
The door opened quickly, and Su Tang's sweet smile came into view. Then, Commander Su and his wife's warm and cordial greetings came, which made Jiang Weimin instantly feel less restrained.
Commander Su now has a very good impression of Jiang Weimin.
Although Jiang Weimin has not engaged in the military field, when talking about military theory, his calmness and profound and unique insights are truly impressive.
Commander Su was in high spirits. The two of them talked about everything from the strategies and tactics of famous battles in ancient and modern times to the cutting-edge developments in current military technology. The topics came one after another and they had a great time talking, as if they had found an old friend.
During the conversation, the topic naturally turned to Jiang Weimin's development in Qingdao.
Jiang Weimin has made an indelible contribution to the current booming development of the city of Qingdao.
In Qingdao, Jiang Weimin has indirectly or directly promoted the implementation of a series of major projects, injecting strong impetus into the city's economic take-off and image improvement.
It is no exaggeration to say that with his help, Qingdao's leadership team has achieved remarkable political achievements.
All these have undoubtedly become Jiang Weimin's valuable resources in Qingdao, making his future development path smoother.
What makes Commander Su's family appreciate him even more is that Jiang Weimin is also a top student at Tsinghua University.
Looking across the country, there are very few young talents like Jiang Weimin who are both excellent in academics and career and have a deep understanding of the military field.
Of course, among all these highlights, the most important one is the pure and sincere relationship between Jiang Weimin and Su Tang.
When their eyes met, the love flashing in their eyes, the concern and tacit understanding revealed inadvertently, were all seen by Commander Su and his wife, and they were delighted.
They knew very well that love was the cornerstone of marriage, and they were filled with relief and joy when they saw their daughter fall in love with such an outstanding young man.
After dinner at Su Tang's house
The two of them came to Wang Tie's house hand in hand, with joy in their hearts.
Jiang Weimin raised his hand and knocked on the door. Footsteps were heard from inside the house. After a while, the door slowly opened and Wang Tie's familiar figure appeared in front of him.
When Wang Tie saw Jiang Weimin and Su Tang, his eyes lit up instantly and a surprised smile appeared on his face.
"Oh, Wei Min and Xiao Tang are here, come in, come in!" Wang Tie greeted them warmly, with uncontrollable joy in his voice.
Jiang Weimin smiled, raised the gift in his hand and said, "Uncle Wang, we are here to wish you a happy new year! This is a little gift from you."
As he spoke, he deliberately raised the two jars of brewed wine in his hands.
"Just come, why bring anything else?" Although Wang Tie said this, he still reached out to take the wine handed to him by Jiang Weimin, with a satisfied look on his face.
Wang Tie looked at the wine in his hand and said jokingly, "Your father is not in good health now, he can't drink this wine.
From now on, bring me all the wine you bring. Look at me, I'm in good health, and I just like this."
Su Tang, who was standing aside, couldn't help but giggle. Her eyes curved into crescents and her laughter was clear and pleasant.
Wang Tie looked at Su Tang's expression and started to laugh too.
"Uncle Wang, if my dad knew about this, he probably wouldn't let me bring even a jar of wine out!"
Jiang Weimin pretended to be helpless but with a hint of smile on his face.
"You are such a stubborn kid." Wang Tie patted Jiang Weimin on the shoulder.
He smiled and said, "You won't tell your father that this is Commander Su's favorite wine! Can he stop you? Right, Xiaotang?"
Su Tang suppressed his laughter, nodded in agreement, and said seriously: "Yes, Uncle Wang is right! Comrade Jiang Weimin, I order you not to bring alcohol to my house next time during the New Year. Drinking too much alcohol is not good for your health!"
Su Tang deliberately put on a stern face and imitated the leader giving orders, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Jiang Weimin immediately straightened up, raised his hand to give a standard military salute, and answered loudly: "Yes, Chief!" His serious look made Wang Tie and Su Tang laugh.
"Xiaotang, that's not what I meant!" Wang Tie explained with a smile, "I was just joking. Don't really stop Weimin from bringing things to your house."
