Chapter 408
Qin Shaoyan's minimum requirement for the animation company is to maintain a balance of payments and reach a level where he can support himself.
Anyway, he never thought about using the animation company to make money, nor did he plan to take profits from the animation company.
Therefore, the more employees earn, the more bonuses they will receive. It is up to them how much they can receive.
However, it is unrealistic to completely give up. After all, Qin Shaoyan sometimes needs to use the animation company to do some work.
"Let's start with the game CG as our first job." Qin Shaoyan glanced at several directors, "Chuxin Game Company will send people over to connect with you. This is the first business order I have found for you."
"You have to do a good job with your heart. This is not only responsible for the customer, but also a good opportunity to show your production capabilities to the outside world."
"In addition, we should no longer use software such as Maya and 3dsMax in the future. We have our own modeling software and engine."
Several people from the animation company were a little surprised and at a loss. One of them said cautiously: "Mr. Qin, these two softwares are relatively mature and mainstream software on the market."
"Our software is better to use, and it is fully Chinese." Qin Shaoyan said lightly, "It is much simpler and more convenient than the pirated software you have."
"This matter has been settled. I am informing you, not discussing it with you."
Several people looked at each other, not daring to express their objections, and couldn't help but feel worried in their hearts.
After all, Maya and 3dsMax have been around for nearly ten years. Autodesk specializes in software in this area, and has strong technical accumulation and development capabilities.
If you develop a self-developed software, how can you compare it with others?
Not to mention a lot of bugs, the practicality will probably be much worse.
But if your boss lets you use it, can you still object?
After Qin Shaoyan left, several people gathered together and sighed.
I originally thought that the animation company would be a big helper, but after the meeting, I discovered that this big brother is not so easy to hold, and they also like laymen to guide experts.
If this continues, the new company will not be able to survive for long.
This is not because they are pessimistic, but because they have seen too many amateur bosses messing around, and then the company collapsed.
But anyway, the Chinese New Year is only a few months away, so let’s wait and see.
No matter how the new company can survive until the end of the New Year, they will then consider looking for a new home.
The game company acted quickly. In the afternoon, art director Hong Fei came over with his people.
When the two parties met, they greeted each other for a while, introduced themselves to each other, and first recognized their familiar faces.
Hong Fei said straight to the point, "Then let's get started."
Fei Mingxuan, the oldest project director, hesitated, "Shall we start training now?"
"Copy the software to the company's computer first." Hong Fei turned to one person and said to Fei Mingxuan, "After everyone has installed the software, I will give you a brief explanation."
"Oh." Fei Mingxuan asked tentatively, "How long will this training process take?"
"If you just get started, it will be quick." Hong Fei explained, "If you want to master it in depth, you won't be able to download it in a week, mainly because the software has too many functions."
“However, many functions are not used most of the time, and the commonly used functions are also easy to operate. It only takes two or three days to become fully proficient in operating them.”
“This software is quite easy to use and is easier to understand than other foreign software.”
Fei Mingxuan and others were skeptical, and then watched Hong Fei insert the USB flash drive into the computer and install the software.
At first glance, this software seemed like nothing, but as Hong Fei explained, all of them were stunned and stunned.
Because it is so convenient, there are many fool-like shortcut functions that can save a lot of effort and at least double the efficiency.
They have never seen such magical software, which can handle many tedious and repetitive tasks with one click, as well as intelligent optimization functions.
It has functions that software like Maya and 3dsMax have, and it also has functions that software like Maya and 3dsMax don’t have.
Fei Mingxuan asked blankly: "This is the software we developed ourselves? Who made it?"
"Well, the boss asked someone to do it." Hong Fei smiled, "I don't know who did it."
"But our game company has been using it for more than a year and has not had any problems, so feel free to use it."
"Are there no bugs?" Fei Mingxuan asked in surprise.
"I've never encountered one before," Hong Fei assured confidently, "I haven't even encountered minor bugs or crashes. The only thing you have to worry about is a power outage, but it has an automatic saving function."
Fei Mingxuan nodded in a daze, feeling that this software was really magical.
The software they used before occasionally had some minor bugs, but this self-developed software didn't even have bugs.
How exactly is it done?
However, they quickly put this idea behind them. After all, they were not engaged in software and had no interest in getting to the bottom of it, as long as the software was easy to use.
Everyone is devoted to learning the new software and strives to master it as soon as possible.
After a period of turmoil, the animation company has regained its vitality.
When Mingyue walked into the company again, she felt that the company in front of her was familiar yet unfamiliar.
The former Soyin Company is gone and replaced by the "MAGA" animation studio.
Many familiar faces are still there, but their spirits are completely different. They are all full of energy and energy.
"Mrs. Boss, you're here!" After Liu Yuanyuan saw Mingyue appear, he ran over in surprise and hugged her.
"What boss lady?!" Mingyue pushed her friend away in shame and annoyance, but unexpectedly Liu Yuanyuan hugged her very tightly.
"Your boyfriend is our new boss, aren't you the boss's wife?" Liu Yuanyuan's big eyes flickered, revealing his admiration, "I have always dreamed before, hoping to have a friend with thighs that I can hug, but I didn't expect this. The dream finally came true! ”
“Sister Yue, I don’t want to work hard anymore!”
"Go away!" Mingyue scolded with a smile and patted Liu Yuanyuan on the head, "It's useless if you don't want to try hard to find me. You have to find a boyfriend by yourself."
"Damn it, this is just showing off." Liu Yuanyuan cried out while holding his head.
The two of them laughed and laughed for a while, and then Liu Yuanyuan pulled Mingyue towards the largest office.
"The house has been tidied up for you, and the computer hasn't been installed yet." Liu Yuanyuan introduced as he walked, "The tables and chairs have been replaced with new ones. I specially picked a chair for you. You can try it out."< br>
"How do you plan to use the bookcase here? Will you still store books?"
"There is no need for books. I plan to put a row of hand models." Mingyue looked at the large office with some emotion and confusion, "Is this office just for me?"
"Of course, you are the boss's wife, so the treatment is naturally different." Liu Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"But I'm still not used to it." Mingyue thought for a while, "You can also bring the computer over and work with me." "I don't dare to overstep it." Liu Yuanyuan shook his head, "You are burdened with the expectations of the entire company. Just stay here, come on, I’m optimistic about you.”
"..." Mingyue was a little confused. She had never been a boss and didn't know how to be a boss. She was at a loss for a while.
Liu Yuanyuan took out several project documents and put them in front of Mingyue, "This is what the company will be doing recently. Take a look at it first. If you have any questions, just ask the directors directly."
"Wait a minute." Mingyue stopped Liu Yuanyuan, "Is there nothing happening in the company recently?"
"No, the bosses who were collecting debts came to make trouble before. Later, Principal Yang came forward to drive them away, and they went directly to Boss Huang and Yang." Liu Yuanyuan suddenly had a gossipy look on his face, "Do you know, those two The couple broke up.”
"Ah?" Mingyue was a little curious, "Broken up? I thought they were married?"
"I heard that Yang Papi wanted to get the certificate before, but Huang Zong refused. After the accident, Huang Zong wanted to sell the company for money and then run away, dumping Yang Li." Liu Yuanyuanshen said mysteriously, "But I didn't expect that he would be Yang Papi found out, and the two started fighting, wanting to share the money from selling the company. Unexpectedly, the money was blocked by loan sharks as soon as they got it, and the fight was miserable. "
"If you ask me, these two bitches are called retribution."
"Oh." Mingyue nodded, and then asked, "Is there anything else besides this?"
"I don't know." Liu Yuanyuan looked confused, "You are the boss."
Mingyue sighed and waved her hand to let Liu Yuanyuan go out. She looked down at the pile of project plans and felt a little headache.
Should I buy some business management books and take a look?
When she was worried, suddenly there was a knock on the office door, and she subconsciously shouted: "Please come in."
A woman wearing a women's suit walked in, "Hello, Mr. Ming."
Mingyue was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was calling her, "Hello, who are you?"
"My name is Xia Lian, and I am the director of Kuaibo Film and Television Company." Xia Lian smiled and stretched out her hand to shake Mingyue's hand.
"Oh, it's Director Xia." Mingyue realized at this moment that she had heard of this name.
"I work with Mr. Qin to earn a living. Just call me Xia Lian." Xia Lian said quickly, "I have something to give back to you this time."
While talking, Xia Lian handed a "Registration of Works" to Mingyue.
Mingyue took it and saw that it was still the cartoon devil squirrel, but the author's name had changed to Mingyue.
"This is your thing, it can be considered as returned to its original owner." Xia Lian said with a smile.
"Thank you. Without your help, I wouldn't be able to get this back." Mingyue said with gratitude.
"No, no, no, you want to thank Mr. Qin. I just followed his instructions." Xia Lian said quickly. She did not dare to take credit.
"I still have to thank you." Mingyue quickly pulled up a chair enthusiastically, "Please sit down and I'll get you a glass of water."
"No, no, no." Xia Lian declined quickly, "I came here to sign a contract with your company. I have to leave after finishing my work. I have to catch the train in the afternoon."
Qvod Film and Television and the animation company signed a cooperation agreement. Afterwards, the animation company will set up a special film and television special effects studio to serve Qvod Film and Television.
"Huh?" Mingyue was a little surprised, "Are you so busy at work?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Lian didn't dare to complain in front of Mingyue, "I'm going to Jin Province to sign a contract in the afternoon."
"Then I won't keep you longer. I hope we have time to chat more next time." Mingyue stood up and said goodbye, "I still have some things to ask."
Xia Lian smiled and agreed, having a good impression of the landlady in her heart.
After leaving the animation company, she took a taxi and her assistant to the train station, got on the train and went straight to Shijiazhuang.
After arriving in Shijiazhuang, we changed cars and rushed to Pingding County in Shanxi Province. After the bumpy journey, not to mention Xia Lian, even the several burly assistants following her were a little confused.
According to the address given by Mr. Qin, Xia Lian and others finally found the destination of their trip, Niangziguan Power Plant.
……
"Hello, Mr. Liu." Xia Lian stretched out her hand with a smile and looked at the ordinary middle-aged man in front of her.
He is forty years old, with a fairly stable hairline, black-rimmed glasses on his square face, and a somewhat reserved expression.
"Hello, hello." The other party shook Xia Lian's hand and looked at the other party curiously, "What do you want from me?"
"I came here specifically to visit today." Xia Lian took out her business card, "I am the director of Qvod Film and Television Company, and I would like to talk to you about the novel you created."
"My novel?" The other party was full of confusion, "Why did the film and television company come to me? You can't be mistaken. I write science fiction novels."
"Yes, Mr. Liu Cixin, we are here to find you." Xia Lian said with a smile, "Our boss is also a science fiction fan. He thinks your work is very interesting and wants to buy the copyright and adapt it."
Liu Cixin looked shocked, a little incredulous, "Are you going to make a film and television drama adaptation?"
"No, it's an animation adaptation." Xia Lian corrected.
"Animation adaptation?" Liu Cixin's face suddenly fell and she frowned, "Are you sure?"
"Mr. Liu, the current domestic film and television production level is not high. No company has the ability to produce science fiction film and television dramas." Xia Lian explained, "The country also lacks talents in this field and has no relevant experience."
"So I would like to say that it is unrealistic to adapt your work for film and television dramas."
"That's true." Liu Cixin nodded in understanding.
"So our boss thinks we can start with animation works, and the main audience is teenagers." Xia Lian continued, "cultivate teenagers' interest and hobbies in science fiction works, and let them have an understanding of Chinese science fiction works."< br>
"Our boss said that with the development of technology and economy, maybe in ten years we will be able to produce science fiction films and TV series in China."
Liu Cixin is not interested in whether there will be science fiction movies and TV series in ten years. He thinks there is little hope for this.
After all these years, the genre of science fiction is almost no longer mentioned, and science fiction novels have become a niche hobby.
However, he is still somewhat interested in animation adaptation, especially for young people. He thinks this is a good thing.
"Your film and television company still produces animation?" Liu Cixin asked doubtfully.
"Our boss has just bought an animation company with nearly 400 people." Xia Lian introduced, "We are preparing to establish a project. Our boss also has a science fiction novel, which he plans to publish in the science fiction world."
"Oh?" Liu Cixin was a little surprised, "What's your name? I'll go and read it."
"I grow potatoes on Mars." Xia Lian thought for a while, "It will probably be published in the next issue of the magazine."
Liu Cixin wrote down the name of the novel, and then thought about it, "Which novel are you going to buy and adapt?"
"Every one." Xia Lian replied with a smile.
"Ah?!"
