Chapter 397: Establishing an Animation Production Studio
"Wait, let the HR department recruit people according to the configuration of animation production. We might as well set up an animation production studio ourselves."
"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Boonie Bears", "Pig Man", as well as the animations "The Legend of Qin", "Painting Rivers and Lakes", "Under One Person", etc.
These are all very popular animation works in Xiaguo.
The first two films occupied the childhood of many people born in the 90s and 00s.
Besides selling broadcasting rights, cartoons can also generate huge economic benefits in other areas.
Dolls, costumes, and even comic conventions organized for people who like the two-dimensional world.
You can also prepare related movies to be released during the New Year and make a small profit.
After finishing the filming of our own country, there are still other countries that can "learn from"
Why didn't she and her think tank think of the huge gap in interests in this area?
Su Zi understood after careful consideration, because they had lost their childlike innocence and their focus was different.
Fortunately, there is still time.
She began to discuss the details of setting up the studio with Su Yuehe.
Cartoons sound simple, but the manpower and resources required behind them are not simple at all.
At least 20 people are needed.
There are also various equipment, and a good computer is essential.
And these 20 people cannot be half-baked people, they must have relevant experience so that they can get started right away.
Thanks to her approach of treating all employees as human beings, once the HR department posted the recruitment information, they quickly hired all the people.
The staff arrived quickly, and Su Zi temporarily focused his attention on the studio, working with them to complete the first work.
The script is available, and the general character requirements and characteristics are all there.
Su Zi is not a person who insists on his own way. He will listen to everyone's opinions, so the initial adjustment went very smoothly.
These staff members who changed jobs experienced for the first time what it meant to go to work.
They don't ask for overtime. After getting off work at five o'clock, they see people coming and going on the road. They have a strong sense of separation. They have forgotten how long it has been since they saw the sky at five o'clock. Standing on the street, they feel like they are living in another world.
After returning home, as usual, I lay down for a while, ordered some takeout, took a slow shower after eating, and it was only eight o'clock when I finished.
In other companies, leaving get off work at 8 o'clock is considered early.
Moreover, you can choose to have dinner at the company before leaving.
You can eat at the company or take it away.
The dishes are very diverse and the kitchen is completely transparent, so the preparation is all under everyone's eyes. It is much healthier than eating takeout.
During break time, the phone is even quieter, with no work messages.
There will be no meetings after get off work hours. When there are meetings, there is no reminiscing about the past or making empty promises. After saying what needs to be said and making arrangements that need to be made, the meeting is adjourned. A small meeting is over in less than half an hour.
You have to apply for overtime work, and you can only work overtime after it is approved. You will be paid for overtime, but the latest time cannot be later than 8 o'clock. If you are too late, the security guard will come to chase you away.
There were more than 20 people in the studio, and for the first time, they experienced what it felt like to be treated as a normal person.
Everyone was extremely grateful that they had listened to what they read on the Internet and made the switch.
When people are well rested, in a good mood and in good spirits, their efficiency will be high. The production cycle of the original work took about six years. Now that everything is mature, only the modeling, character drawing, dubbing and other steps are more time-consuming.
Su Zi estimated that according to the current situation, it would take about half a year to complete.
She hired a dozen more people to share the workload and broke down the work into smaller pieces. Each person was responsible for less, so the process went faster.
After the entire studio was running smoothly, she finally had time to start preparing for the casting of "Dying to Survive".
The role of the protagonist is given to Zhao Han, who fits the character of Cheng Yong very well.
The single mother asked Xu Fei to come.
Now the roles of the pastor, Huang Mao, Zhang Changlin, Lu Shouyi, and Cao Bin need to be determined through casting.
She simply gave those unknown actors a chance and held an open casting call.
On the day of the casting, many people received the news and wanted to try their luck.
The role that Su Zi decided on the fastest was Cao Bin.
Among the actors who came to audition, there was a man whose tough and upright appearance was very suitable for this role.
The pastor and Zhang Changlin soon followed suit and made their decision.
The roles of Lu Shouyi and Huang Mao have not been decided yet. There are some suitable actors, but when Su Zi watched their audition, he always felt that something was missing.
The character of Lv Shouyi in the play is a very tragic character. He is the key figure who pushed Cheng Yong to purchase generic drugs on behalf of others. He is also the epitome of the grassroots leukemia patients. His existence makes the realism of the film more profound.
He is not a hero, nor is he strong enough, but he represents the most real suffering. His tragedy does not lie in death itself, but in the fact that he could have lived but had no money.
He had hope, but he was not given the opportunity.
His character is portrayed as humble, cowardly, yet still dignified. He appears cowardly on the surface, but is tough on the inside. When he first appeared, he wore a three-layer mask and timidly tried to please Cheng Yong, showing an image of a man tortured by illness and struggling to survive in a humbly manner.
But he would also morally blackmail Cheng Yong for the sake of his fellow patients.
The reason why Su Zi couldn't find the feeling of Lu Shouyi from these people was because he could see from their eyes that they were acting a leukemia patient, while the original actor who played Lu Shouyi was not acting. He just stood there with his neck shrunk. His sick appearance and eyes made people forget his identity as an actor and think that he was really sick.
This is also related to the actor's efforts to get closer to the role. He lost more than 20 pounds for the role, and his skinny body, sunken cheeks, and hunched body made the audience intuitively feel the ravages of leukemia.
From these people now, Su Zi can't see the ruthlessness of the original actor.
That’s why so many people were auditioned for this role but no one was chosen.
Similarly, the role of Huangmao is not that easy.
After all the people who came to audition had been auditioned, Su Zi still hadn't found a suitable person.
She also advised herself to lower her requirements.
However, with such a good film before her, as the one who is remaking it, she doesn’t want to let this excellent work be ruined in her hands.
She even thought of finding a leukemia patient to play Lu Shouyi.
However, in order to avoid being blackmailed, she quickly gave up the idea.
However, a few days later, Mo Yue, who had once auditioned for the role of Lu Shouyi, approached Su Zi.
When they met again, Su Zi was shocked to see how haggard the other person looked.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Boss Su, can I play the role of Lv Shouyi now?"
"Since the day you rejected me, I have been staying in the hospital these days, observing leukemia patients. I think now I am qualified to ask you for this role."
"I have already started losing weight. It won't take long before I can completely match the appearance of those leukemia patients. I will continue to observe and play this role well."
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. On the day of the audition, after seeing that so many people were not selected, he went back and kept thinking about what kind of role Su Zi wanted.
Based on the script he received, he slowly figured out the characteristics of the role and tried to fight for himself again.
