My colleagues guessed correctly.

Something did go wrong in the movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Snake Comes Around" project, and it was a serious one.

This directly results in the film's post-production, which should have been completed in early December, most likely to be postponed to March next year.

What's wrong?

Of course, it is the five major studios under Wanbao Animation. Except for "Puppet Studio", a large number of core employees have changed jobs.

The total number of people reached 207!

This is a quite shocking number, equivalent to Wanbao Animation Company, which suddenly lost a quarter of its employees.

It happened in mid-November.

Gu Miao was "pulling hair" with the new director Shen from Jiangchuan TV station, and they had a heated argument over "Sailor Moon R".

As a result, Ma Kui called and told him: The company is in danger, please call back immediately!

Okay!

Gu Miao was originally on the road solo, and was about to eat river crabs to replenish her growth. When she looked back, she saw that almost all the crystals in her house had been ordered, and she was immediately frightened out of her mind.

It's normal for someone to leave their job.

For a large company like Wanbao Animation with a thousand employees, normal personnel turnover happens almost every week.

But this time it's different.

More than two hundred people have submitted resignation reports one after another. And these two hundred people are all the core members of Wolfsburg Studio, Lightning Studio, Feiyang Studio and Dimension Studio.

In other words, these people are the mainstay of Wanbao.

It doesn't matter if one or two people leave, or even a dozen or so people can be accepted, but the loss of more than 200 people at once will have an extremely exaggerated impact on Wanbao Animation.

The first problem encountered...

Many animation projects are facing the problem of insufficient manpower and doubled construction period. For example, "Dragon Fighter 2" and "Lightbringer", which are currently in production, have been shut down.

Secondly, people's hearts are floating.

Gu Miao has also investigated the whereabouts of these resigned employees. They are all targets of poaching, and the company that poached them is called "Meihua Animation".

This is a brand new company that has just been established in China Shipping.

Even though it is a brand-new company, Meihua Animation is backed by one of the top Internet giants in the country. According to rumors, its major shareholder is the son of a rich man.

Okay, the background is a bit confusing!

The major shareholder is the son of the top ten richest people in the country, and the second shareholder is an Internet giant whose hard power is not inferior to Mr. Tan.

It goes without saying that this is a huge financial resource.

When a company of this magnitude is established, even if the treatment provided is mediocre, it is estimated that many people will rush to "defect" and strive to "conquer the dragon."

Not to mention, Plum Blossom Animation has been aggressive, and in order to poach people, it has offered extremely high benefits and salaries unprecedented in the industry.

This is just great.

Originally, the salary level was average, but just relying on background could attract many talents to join. However, in the end, they offered high prices to poach people, so it makes sense that Wanbao couldn't stop them.

After Gu Miao understood the situation, he immediately made two decisions.

The first is to increase wages and benefits!

The opponent is coming with force and has already poached so many people while he is not prepared. If he continues to sit back and ignore it, Wanbao Animation may be hollowed out.

The second is to find foreign aid!

Wanbao Animation is an animation company that does not rely much on "outsourcing". This is because Gu Miao feels that the level of domestic animation outsourcing is uneven and it is difficult to control the quality of the works.

Under normal circumstances, he would rather spend more money and hire more people than outsource the core part of the work to other work.

Of course, he is talking about the core part.

For some irrelevant content or repetitive processes, he often looks for outsourcing, and he often looks for n multiple teams.

The situation now is rather special.

Wanbao, which suffers from a serious brain drain, has faced "shutdowns" on many projects. Under such circumstances, Gu Miao had to relax restrictions and hire more outsourcing teams to participate in the core production of animation.

Let’s use an analogy.

In the past, Wanbao did 80% of the work, leaving the remaining 20% ​​of the dirty work to the outsourcing team, allowing them to earn some "hard money".

Now Wanbao is severely short of manpower and can only do 50% or even less of the work. The remaining work can only be handed over to the outsourcing team, otherwise the construction period will be seriously delayed.

Xiaoshuting app

Konjac Animation is one of the outsourcing teams that Gu Miao contacted.

In fact, Konjac Animation is not an outsourced animation company. The reason why Gu Miao contacted them was mainly because she felt that Konjac Animation's hard skills were good.

Although there is a shortage of people, he has not yet reached the point of "hungry".

Not all outsourcing teams can gain Gu Miao's approval and win the subcontracting tasks given by Wanbao Animation.

Always filter again!

Including Zhonghai Konjac Animation, Gu Miao contacted a total of seven outsourcing animation companies and finally filled the existing vacancies.

But this is not a long-term solution.

With a strong and trustworthy partner like Konjac Animation, Gu Miao is not particularly worried.

However, the animation production capabilities of some partners are really average. Short-term cooperation is okay, but if long-term cooperation, Gu Miao is really worried that there will be problems.

Still need to attract new blood.

For this matter, Gu Miao recently put aside the promotion arrangements for the movie "Snake Comes Around" and went to Jiangchuan University several times.

Even Xiao Guo was attracted by him.

He used Guo Hongwei as an example to tell the students who are still in school: As long as you have the ability, you can be like Guo Hongwei and go from "intern" to "big director" with an annual salary of millions in just one year.

Good guy!

With this living example in front of them, the students who had not yet left school were extremely excited.

All of a sudden, the number of students signing up for internships at Wanbao Animation increased severalfold.

Gu Miao smiled so hard that her face twisted.

Guo Hongwei, who smiled the whole time and acted as a "human flesh propaganda poster" for his master, rubbed his face after returning to the company and said, "Isn't this deceiving people?"

"Nonsense!"

Gu Miao retorted: "How did I fool people? Didn't you become a great director from an intern?"

Can the situation be the same?

How many geniuses like him are there? If everyone could be "promoted" like him, wouldn't it be a complete mess?

All I can say is that the chef is very good at painting cakes.

After taking a sip of water, Guo Hongwei breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "With these interns joining us and the outsourcing team, the movie should be able to be released as scheduled, right?"

"Can!"

Gu Miao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Why is he in a hurry? In addition to not wanting to delay the release of the film during the Spring Festival, there is another very important reason.

That is to fulfill the promise he made to Zhang Feifei's child.

If it weren't for this promise, how could Gu Miao be so anxious to find an outsourcing team, or recruit interns herself?

The reason for doing this is to ensure that the movie is released as scheduled. If the movie is delayed, Zhang Fei's children may not have a chance to see it.

Every time he thinks about this matter, Gu Miao feels very heavy, and there is always an unspeakable pressure.

because……
Chapter completed!
