With the development of the Internet industry, students majoring in animation design are not only able to do animation production.

Whether it is major game companies, portals, or some traditional companies, they have begun to seek graphic creation and design talents, and the well-known Ningjiang University Animation School has naturally become a place for these companies to find talents.

For example, at the job fair last year, more than 20 graduates entered non-animation companies. This year, several of these seniors who have worked for a year have returned with their own companies for autumn recruitment, gathering more fresh graduates.

“The revenue of animation companies is not high.”

Although Han Qingwen and the others are only in their freshman year, they have a course called career development planning in their freshman year, which requires them to form a group to interview a senior in the industry to expand their career horizons. Their group was introduced by a teacher and interviewed Zhang Ran, a senior who had been working in Tomato Manufacturing for more than four years and had just recently been promoted to original artists.

Seeing the promotional poster in front of him, Han Qingwen subconsciously remembered what happened when interviewing Zhang Ran.

According to the teacher's introduction, this senior Zhang Ran was the number one student in the animation major back then. He got an offer from Tomato Video Network and entered the Tomato Manufacturing. He became an animator. He also joined the original painting group last year and became an original artist. He also had a wife who was together when he was studying and later got married. After listening to the introduction, he envied others.

Since this course is available every year, Zhang Ran seems to receive a commission from his mentor, so he brought a group of four people in Han Qingwen's dormitory and four other girls from their class to the Tomato Manufacturing Workplace.

It is very busy here. In addition to at least one new animation every quarter, Tomato Manufacturing also has some long serial animations, commercial advertisements, game titles, and BD CD correction work, and there is almost no free time for a year.

"The original painting is the most important part of the animation, and the work of the key picture is responsible for. The animations that everyone actually sees are composed of countless key picture and intermediate picture. Using visual principles, the key picture stays in people's eyes for the longest time and the deepest impression is, so every original picture must strive to be the best."

Zhang Ran took young and young girls to visit the office area, and at the same time casually introduced some knowledge about animation production.

Since tomato manufacturing has introduced digital paintings for a long time, there are few paper materials except for storyboards and design drafts, so there is no such situation as Han Qingwen remembers of the animation company. Each original painter looked at the two screens in front of him and painted on the digital tablet with a pen in his hand, looking like a high-tech enterprise.

"In Tomato Manufacturing, fresh graduates usually start as an animator. After three to five years of training, after assessment, they can start to be responsible for the original painting. It usually takes more than five years to become an original artist. As for more core performances and character designs, it is impossible without ten years of hard work."

Zhang Ran looked at these ignorant freshmen and couldn't help but recall how he was when he entered school.

"Wow, then to say that, Senior Zhang, you have only been a master of original artists for four years. Wouldn't you be very awesome?"

Han Qingwen's roommate Cai Liren asked, "He is the most active and proactive this time."

"Uh, that's OK. Becoming an original artist for four years can only be considered 70% ahead of Tomato Manufacturing. You know, Rainbow Media, a former martial arts director of Rainbow Media, only took seven years from joining the job to the director of the first animation."

Zhang Ran said modestly, but there was already a clear look of pleasure on his face.

"Senior, you are also very awesome. I heard from Professor Zhou that you are still married to your college lover. It's really a perfect match."

A girl asked, she was more concerned about this emotional gossip than industry anecdotes.

"Haha, what are the teachers saying? My wife He Shuyi is currently in the tomato coloring department. When lunch is waiting, I can let her come over and tell you."

Zhang Ran touched his chin, and the respectful attitude of this group of students made him very satisfied, and even the many unhappiness at work disappeared.

Because he specially received these students, Zhang Ran had most of the holidays, and the person in charge of the company was particularly concerned about this kind of promotion of the company's image.

During lunch, he continued to chat and laugh with the students and talked about various industry gossips, which was very happy.

However, Zhang Ran noticed that there was a boy who seemed to be not very talkative and looked taciturn, so he asked.

"I think you are a little confused, I think you are interested in tomato making, you can just ask questions."

The person he asked was Han Qingwen.

Han Qingwen was not at this point. Although he had not known the industry as much as Zhang Ran through the cartoonists and members of the animation company he had come into contact with Li Xue's cousin Li Ruoxuan, he was always much more in-depth than other students. The knowledge he could learn through this half-day interview was basically useless to Han Qingwen.

He was clicked at this time and was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"I have no doubts, Senior Zhang, I think you said it very well."

He replied, his attitude was natural, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhang Ran smiled and said nothing. He had seen such a high-spirited newcomer, and even this was what he was like back then. He felt that he was already amazing and could do something casually and change the industry. But in fact, he was just an insignificant screw in this huge industry.

At this time, Huang Kun, who had been looking at his phone just now, raised his head and blurted out.

"Hey, I found that Senior Zhang Ran, you and Xu Rui from Fantasy Electronics seem to be the same group of graduates. Do you know each other?"

As soon as he asked, Huang Kun realized that something was wrong.

Zhang Ran's originally kind expression suddenly frozen. Xu Rui, the name is like a nightmare, and it has been entangled with Zhang Ran for four years. Even this name is a forbidden sentence between him and his wife He Shuyi. The two have never taken the initiative to mention the news of this student at the same level.

But how could Zhang Ran and his wife stay away from Xu Rui when they work in the industry? From topic animations every few quarters to annual animations, various mobile games, live broadcasts, and the previous martial arts resignation storm, the name Xu Rui appeared in every corner of Zhang Ran's life, which made him feel extremely stressed.

In Zhang Ran's words, how rich the world's richest man is has nothing to do with him, because he doesn't know him anyway, but Xu Rui, who once stood on the same platform as him and even had less than his achievements in all aspects, has now become one of the most influential names in the Chinese animation industry. So it is really difficult for Zhang Ran to maintain a peaceful mind.

The later interview became a bit awkward. Of course, Han Qingwen's classmates were more inclined to join Tomato Manufacturing, after all, it was too difficult to enter the fantasy electric animation.

However, as December approaches the end of the winter, the sudden appearance of this joint training program of Fantasy and Ningjing University has caused many restless thoughts to suddenly emerge from this group of freshmen.

At 7:00 on Sunday evening, Building 2, a large classroom that can accommodate 500 people was packed and filled with people.

Han Qingwen and Li Xue sat in the front position on the left, watching several teachers doing their final preparations.

Soon, the lecture officially began. Just as the students' specific information on this plan, the person in charge of the lecture walked into the classroom.

That turned out to be Xu Rui.
Chapter completed!
