My Animation Era

Gu Miao didn't tell anyone else about the idea of ​​​​cutting down the feudal clan for the time being, mainly because it would be useless.

At this moment, even "Go Boy" hasn't been aired yet, so it's too far away to say anything else.

National Day is approaching and the whole country is celebrating.

The more interesting thing this year is the Mid-Autumn Festival on October 4, which means that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be held together with the National Day holiday, for a total of eight days.

"Why only eight days?"

Lao Zhang was a little unhappy. Obviously, the previous Mid-Autumn Festival was a three-day long holiday, and the National Day was also jokingly called the "Golden Week". The two holidays were combined, so it should be a ten-day holiday in a row.

No one can accept missing two days of vacation for no reason.

"normal!"

Compared to Lao Zhang's resentment, Gu Miao understood the key, so he explained: "The National Day Golden Week includes a weekend, and the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday also includes a weekend."

"The two holidays are superimposed, and naturally only one of the original two weekends is left, so the total holiday time is reduced by two days."

"Sure enough, I still can't accept it."

Even though he is already at the level of a working emperor, Lao Zhang still has the heart of a working man longing for a vacation.

Therefore, he was always full of resentment towards this method of superimposing holidays.

But there is no point in complaining. This is not something Gu Miao stipulates, and Wanbao cannot be special and give its own employees ten days off when other companies have eight days off.

"Eight days is not bad!"

"You know, this is one of the few long holidays in the second half of the year. It is also the only holiday other than the Spring Festival holiday that allows you to rest for more than seven days in a row."

Gu Miao smiled and comforted: "At least you can still have a holiday, but I am miserable. Even during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to stick to my job."

"Then how about we switch?"

Old Zhang Kuang rolled his eyes: "You will be the vice president, go home and rest for eight days, and I will be the president and work overtime?"

"Isn't this... bad?"

Gu Miao said with a twisted expression: "I don't have any objection to swapping identities or anything like that, but will my sister-in-law object?"

Lao Zhang: "..."

There is such a crazy boss in the stall, what evil did he commit in his previous life?

"Forget it, I'll work overtime too."

Lao Zhang, who has reached middle age and can't help himself, feels a headache when he thinks of dealing with all kinds of trivial family matters while resting at home, as well as wine banquets with friends and relatives.

There are always people who think that as the vice president, he has real power and can help arrange for several relatives to work in Wanbao. Through his connections, he can help them solve problems such as children's education, demolition compensation, and the construction of ancestral halls.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he, the vice president, is just a butler.

There are connections.

Why should I help you solve the problem? Just based on the meager blood relationship, a friendship that cannot be achieved with eight poles?

Arranging jobs for his children through the back door is probably the most common request Lao Zhang faces.

To be honest, he can help with this kind of work. As long as he is willing to say hello, arranging the work of several relatives is absolutely simple.

But this kind of head cannot be opened.

If he did this, what would Mr. Gu think of him when he found out? He is just a professional manager of Wanbao. He doesn't really regard Wanbao as his own property, right?

Lao Zhang didn't want to go home to rest, lest he meet relatives who he didn't want to see but couldn't stop him from visiting.

Gu Miao wanted to go home and rest, but the animation "Go Boy" was about to premiere, and he really couldn't leave. He had no choice but to stay in the company and stick to his job.

certainly!

Another reason he chose to work overtime during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival was because he wanted to prepare a big gift for his employees this year.

What kind of gift?

Wanbao Video’s share incentives!

This matter should have been prepared before Wanbao Video was launched, but due to the hasty launch process of Wanbao Video, there was no time to arrange it.

It’s too late to make up for it now.

This is just like when Penguin issued a year-end bonus, it was issued shares of an Internet company.

This time, many subsidiaries of Wanbao Group prepared Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for employees. In addition to "ancestral mooncake" gift boxes, there were also Wanbao Video stocks worth about 50,000 to 200,000 yuan.

Stock value depends on rank.

Take Lao Zhang, the great steward of Wanbao, as an example. He has worked hard and achieved great results, and his rank is still at the top of Wanbao. The value of the shares he will receive this time is probably in the tens of millions.

People like Ma Kui, Huang Kun and Hou Bin can also get some, ranging from a few million to tens of millions depending on their past merits and achievements.

Ordinary employees don’t have that many.

But it’s not too little. It can at least cover a few months’ salary. It’s equivalent to paying the year-end bonus in advance.

The source of this batch of stocks is partly from the equity incentive plan allocated by Wanbao Video before its listing, and the other part comes from the circulating shares that Wanbao repurchased at low prices in the secondary market.

…

“This year’s mooncakes are pretty good!”

The day before the holiday, Zeng Dexing, who had just joined Wanbao Animation for three years, received a customized mooncake gift box from the company.

As soon as he got it, he couldn't wait to open it and taste one.

Not to mention, this year’s mooncakes are indeed delicious, at least twice as delicious as last year’s.

"It seems that the boss lady has changed to a supplier this year. The mooncakes from this company are much more honest in workmanship and materials."

"Indeed, boss lady YYDS!"

Colleagues all praised the boss lady’s vision and gave this year’s mooncakes a thumbs up.

"By the way, have you received the notice issued within the company?"

Xiaoli, who works in the secretariat, quietly opened the topic and said: "I heard that we are going to issue stocks to our old employees!"

"Just make money, what can you do with that little stock? It's still a junk stock like Wanbao Video, which can't even rise." Some people disagreed.

"Indeed, I would be satisfied with any other company, but it is Wanbao Video's stock..."

Zeng Dexing naturally heard the comments from his colleagues, but he didn't take it to heart.

Wanbao Video's stock is indeed rubbish, but why wouldn't you be happy with the free money? No matter how rubbish the stock is, if it is given to you for free, will you refuse it?

Unfortunately, Zeng Dexing has just been with Wanbao for three years. It is probably calculated as "less than three years" when making statistics, so the reward quota given to him is very low.

Based on the current stock price of Wanbao Video, the shares issued by the company are only worth more than 20,000 yuan.

Sounds like a lot.

But for Zeng Dexing, this amount of money is really nothing. After all, his monthly salary plus bonus has already exceeded 20,000 yuan.

There is no way, this is the case if you have been employed for less than three years. I heard that colleagues who have been employed for longer years will receive stocks worth at least 50,000, 60,000 or even hundreds of thousands.

"Forget it, why do you think so much?"

Putting these things out of his mind, Zeng Dexing looked at the time and concentrated on his work.

He is a sound effects synthesizer.

The current work project is the "Go Boy" animation directed by the company's boss himself.

First, the various dubbing materials are mixed, and then the audio and video are synchronized with the edited cartoon according to the corresponding audio track position, and finally the audio and video synchronization is checked by colleagues.

This is Zeng Dexing’s daily work routine.

The whole process is boring and tedious. It can be said that the only fun in his line of work is to repeatedly watch various animations that have not yet been aired.

He was among the first viewers to appreciate popular animations such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Yu-Gi-Oh!", "Wandering the Animated World" and "Bear Bears".

Even much earlier than the audience.

As the saying goes, read it a hundred times and the meaning will come to you! He has been doing this job for a long time, and his vision is naturally not picky.

He can roughly tell which animations are popular and which ones are good-looking just by looking at them. After all, he has come into contact with so many finished animations at work, and it is impossible to say that he does not have any knowledge.

""Go Boy" is okay!"

From Zeng Dexing's perspective, this animation really interested him.

This is not easy.

You must know that he has watched a lot of animation, and his vision is not generally high. There are very few animations that can interest him and put great enthusiasm into his work.

"Go Boy" did it. Based on this alone, Zeng Dexing felt that animation can be popular, and not just ordinary.

Especially the theme song.

He is engaged in sound effects synthesis and attaches great importance to dubbing and theme songs.

In his opinion, the soundtrack of "Go Boy" is definitely not inferior to that of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", especially the theme song of the same name, which has almost brainwashed him these days.

"The Go boy has gone through many hardships~"

"Try all the suffering in the world and survive the long night~"

"Go boy, determined to move forward~"

"In Wen Ping's discussion of Tao, Qi moves with the heaven and earth..."

Whether it is during work or after get off work, the magical melody of this song will always play in his mind, making him sing along unconsciously.

this is too scary!

The last animation theme song that he engraved into his DNA and sang along unconsciously in life was the title song of the same name from "Pig Man".

The word "demon" perfectly sums up the degree of brainwashing in this song.

Let’s not talk about whether the animation is popular or not. This theme song alone will definitely spread all over the country after the animation is broadcast, attracting countless primary school students to sing and imitate it.

Zeng Dexing firmly believes in this.

…

The animation "Go Boy" is a TV animation, not an online animation like "Wandering the Animation World" or "The Son-in-law Fairy King".

Since it is a TV animation, the corresponding warm-up publicity will also be launched accordingly.

Online animation can be promoted after the animation is launched. After all, the audience can watch it at any time, and watching it early and watching it late will have little impact.

But if you miss the TV animation, you will miss it. In order to achieve better broadcast effects, publicity work must be done well before the premiere to attract the audience to stay and watch.

How to promote it?

After negotiation with CCTV Children's Channel, the other party agreed to insert promotional clips about the "Go Boy" animation during some prime time periods.

This promotional clip is actually very short. After all, it is just an advertising space. 30 seconds is not bad for you.

It's okay to put out a trailer PV.

However, the trailer PV alone may not have such a big impact on the audience, and it will be difficult to attract children to watch it.

So Gu Miao suggested that she simply cut a section of the theme song of the same name into the animation.

The effect is amazing!

In the passionate singing of "Go boy, gone through hardships", the famous scene of Jiang Liu'er playing chess with many chess players appeared on the screen.

Some chess pieces are glowing, two black and white dragons appear on the chessboard, some pieces fall and the sky and the earth are dark...

Everyone likes to make fun of Hollywood action movies and science fiction movies, saying that all the highlights are concentrated in trailers of just tens of seconds or even one or two minutes. After watching the trailer, you don’t need to watch the main film.

But it’s not just Hollywood.

The same is true in the animation industry. The trailer PV brings together the best highlights of the entire animation.

After just a quick glance, you basically don’t need to watch the rest of the feature film.

After all, what is shown in the trailer PV is basically the most exciting and exciting part of the main film. You have already seen it, why are you still watching the main film?

certainly!

That's an extreme thing to say.

After all, the trailer PV is limited in duration, and it is impossible to fully show the essence of an animation, nor to show the plot context of the animation.

So just by watching the trailer PV, in fact, apart from appreciating the highlights, I can’t understand anything else.

The same is true for "Go Boy".

In the trailer PV, Jiang Liu'er has various gods descending to earth, playing chess in a blinding manner, and is so cool that it's almost endless.

But in the actual feature film, there may be five or six games of chess played before the big scene shown in the trailer PV occurs. How can playing chess in ordinary times be so exaggerated?

But the trailer PV is essentially to create a gimmick to make children interested in this animation...

So from this point of view, the trailer PV of "Go Boy" was done well. It did attract a large number of passerby viewers who knew nothing about Go with its cool display of chess skills.

Xiao Ke also saw it.

He told Gu Miao excitedly that he learned that the "Go Boy" animation was about to be broadcast. Everyone in the Go community was very excited. Many seniors usually did not watch animations, but this time they also paid attention to "Go Boy".

"Haha, Aiwujiwu!"

Gu Miao didn't care much about the attention from the Go world. After all, there were only a few people in the Go world? Even if everyone comes to watch "Go", the ratings will not increase much.

Mainly relying on pure passers-by.

Speaking of pure strangers, Xiao Ke said very proudly that he has a considerable number of fans on Weibo and has already given "Go Boy" to them.

"Oh? Did you help promote it?"

When Gu Miao heard this, she felt bad.

Although Xiao Ke is not yet the familiar abstract Jaguar, he has already offended some groups that should not be offended through his speech.

He helped promote the "Go Boy" animation on Weibo, which seemed to be a good thing.

But the composition of Xiaoke's fans is not simple. If he offends certain groups, he will not bring the flames of war to the animation "Go Boy", right?

Gu Miao broke into a cold sweat at the thought of this possibility, and was almost ready to cut Xiao Ke into pieces, saying that he had nothing to do with "Go Boy".

Fortunately he didn't do that.

Although Xiaoke's help in promoting "Go Boy" may attract some monsters and monsters, this is a small probability event after all.

If he cuts off Xiao Ke and draws a clear line with him because of this, it would seem that Gu Miao is too cowardly.

No big deal!

It's just a Go-themed animation, and Xiao Ke is just a consultant in name only, so he shouldn't be affected by the anger.
