My Animation Era

Hahaha……

Amidst a burst of laughter, Gu Miao, Ma Kui and others finally ended their ordeal, and the performance session of the annual meeting was completely over and entered the second session.

Commend the advanced!

The past year has been a year in which Wanbao has grown from weakness to strength, and it has also been a year filled with the joy of harvest.

Since it is an annual meeting, we must commend those who have contributed to Wanbao and made great contributions in the past year.

The first is Wanbao’s “Person of the Year”.

Since Gu Miao himself did not participate in any award selection, the Person of the Year Award finally fell to Wanbao Animation Art Director Huang Kun after review.

“It’s worthy of the name!”

Everyone applauded and were happy that Huang Kun won the award.

Although Huang Kun is low-key, his reputation is not known to the outside world. But everyone in Wanbao knew that he was the man standing behind Mr. Gu, silently telling the truth.

He deserves everyone's trust.

As a guest presenting the award, Gu Miao just patted Huang Kun on the shoulder and nodded to him without saying anything.

Nothing more needs to be said.

From the beginning of his business, following him all the way to now, Huang Kun is no less important to Wanbao Animation than Gu Miao himself.

"You are Wanbao's future!"

Gu Miao once said this to her apprentice Xiao Guo in order to encourage him.

But there was still the second half of the sentence, and he didn't finish it. That is, the future belongs to Xiao Guo, and now belongs to Huang Kun!

Yes.

No matter how talented his apprentice Xiao Guo is, until he realizes his talent, he can only be ranked second, and his status in Gu Miao's heart will never be as important as that of Huang Kun.

Huang Kun's status in Wanbao can be described in one sentence.

Wanbao Animation has so many animation projects at the same time, and only the project directed by Huang Kun, Mr. Gu will not interfere.

Trust and support him unconditionally.

This Wanbao "Person of the Year" award is not only a recognition of Huang Kun's many years of hard work, but also a reflection of Gu Miao's trust in him.

The bonus is not much, two hundred thousand!

For Huang Kun, this bonus is just a bonus. With his annual salary, he doesn't care about this bonus at all.

But for other people in the company, the annual figure award of 200,000 is already a large amount of money...

Didn’t you see that Ma Kui’s eyes were red?

In addition to the person of the year, this annual meeting also selected the top ten employees from major subsidiaries, and the reward was a cash red envelope of 100,000 yuan.

The Best Subsidiary of the Year fell to Wanbao Animation. There was absolutely no suspense about this award. No subsidiary of Wanbao was qualified to challenge Wanbao Animation.

The best group of the year was given to the editorial department of "Comics World" magazine, a subsidiary of Wanbao Comics.

They have done amazing things.

Last year, "Manga World" completed a great achievement from its inception to a cumulative circulation of 10 million copies.

Although, paper magazines are in decline.

But the cumulative circulation of 10 million copies is already amazing for a new magazine that has only been in existence for less than a year.

And in the new year, "Comics World" magazine has also established an "electronic editorial department" and begun to try to publish electronic versions.

The future is still very bright!

The commendation meeting lasted from noon to two o'clock in the afternoon. After a short break and lunch time, the annual meeting entered the final session.

"August 2010..."

Through the projector, everyone saw an animated short film produced by Wanbao Animation.

This is a gift prepared by Gu Miao.

In this animated short film, a cute panda man established Wolfsburg Studio under heavy pressure in August 2010 and produced "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

"You can't succeed..."

"A joke? A wolf catching a sheep can be made into an animation? If anyone sees this, I will change my name to yours!"

Amid doubts and criticism, the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" was aired.

As expected.

Because of its low cost, crude production, and lack of publicity, the broadcast platform is a regional children's channel that even "locals" don't like to watch.

Therefore, the ratings are very low.

The panda man was nestled at home, looking at the messy drawings on the table, listening to the landlord's voice outside the door urging him to pay the rent, and fell into a long thought.

Everyone was fascinated.

Everyone has basically guessed what the short film tells. But as you might have guessed, few new employees know about Mr. Gu’s early entrepreneurial experience.

So they are also curious about what happened in the early days of Wanbao?

The short film is very short, about ten minutes.

In these ten minutes, it mainly tells the story of Gu Miao's process from being questioned at the beginning to the ratings of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" taking off.

"is this real?"

Seeing the scene in the short film where a panda named Gu Miao was starving and doing animation because he had no money to eat after paying the rent, Jiang Keke asked curiously: "Were you really that poor back then?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"That's a lie!"

"Half truth, half lie."

Gu Miao recalled the past: "I was really poor at that time. It was true that I had no money to eat after paying the rent. But when my dad found out, he gave me five thousand yuan..."

"Uncle is so kind to you."

Gu Miao smiled and said nothing.

Remember the bitterness and remember the sweetness!

It is precisely because of these experiences that we know how to cherish our happy life today. He asked Ma Kui to make this short film because he actually wanted to express this truth.

Don't think that now that Wanbao has grown stronger and is the number one animation company in the country, you have forgotten the hard days we once spent.

To put it harshly...

Without "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", Gu Miao wouldn't know where to beg for food under an overpass! Without the support of Director Wang, how could Wanbao be as brilliant as it is today?

The bigger the company, the more cautious it must be.

Not everyone understands the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Gu Miao knew very well that Wanbao's achievements today were hard-won. The more times like this, the more he had to act calmly.

Being the president of a company is much more difficult than being an animation director.

If possible, Gu Miao didn't want to make the stall so big that it would make her exhausted. But when you stand on the cusp of the storm, you can no longer stop if you want to.

The video playback ends.

Everyone was still immersed in the short film and didn't come back to their senses for a long time. It wasn't until Gu Miao came on stage and announced a decision that the venue resumed its bustle.

What decision?

Of course, Wanbao Animation will enter the film industry and produce an animated film after the Lunar New Year.

This is definitely shocking news!

You must know that "Kuiba: The Ten Thousand Urgent" has only just passed its seventh chapter, and the bones are not yet cold! Wanbao, who watched "Kuiba" regretfully come to an end, not only failed to learn his lesson, but actually wanted to enter the film industry?

Huang Kun and Ma Kui are better.

After all, they were senior executives and had received the news in advance, so they acted less shocked and surprised.

But those ordinary employees are different.

Everyone looked at the high-spirited Mr. Gu on the stage and couldn't help but wonder if he had drunk too much? TV animation is pretty good, why go into the muddy waters of animated movies?

Even though I have recommended it countless times, I still want to recommend the animation "Super Cool Cat" again
