The Creator of the Second Dimension

Move forward a little bit in time, back to Monday night.

After Liu Xueyan and Zhang Ke returned from eating at a noodle restaurant near the park, they received a message from Fang Yuan, editor-in-chief of Tomato Video Network, on the corporate communication software.

Fang Yuan is in charge of the video business and animation production business, and is Liu Xueyan's immediate boss.

Fang Yuan: Xueyan, is there a video with a high number of clicks in your animation area today, it seems to be a college student's finale?

Xue Yan: That's right, Mr. Yuan, I'm going to show him an advertisement tomorrow. I haven't seen such a hot video for a long time.

Fang Yuan: I remember that we collaborated with Nanjing University to organize this exhibition, right?

Xueyan: Yes, we provide them with certain sponsorship, select outstanding graduates through public display, and sign contracts with our production companies. This has been done for the past few years.

Fang Yuan: Then contact the producer quickly and try to sign him in advance. I remember that a few years ago, Ningda had a good newcomer who was poached by Mogu Yinghua. We can’t do this kind of thing again up!

Fang Yuan: Let him sign into Rainbow Media, I don't believe it, there are still people who can reject Rainbow Media's offer!

When Liu Xueyan saw what his boss said, he remembered that there was indeed such a thing. At that time, the powerful newcomer of Ningda University was directly poached by the opponent of Tomato Video Network, Mushroom Video Network at a high price. Now it is the powerful painting supervisor of Mogu Yinghua.

And Rainbow Media is an animation company under Tomato Video Network. It is recognized as the number one in the industry. The theatrical animation produced every year can win numerous awards in the world. A master who has been playing for several years may not be able to enter this company.

In Xu Rui's words, Rainbow Media is the Pixar studio of this world, the culmination of all animators' dreams.

"This is too vengeful."

Liu Xueyan twitched the corners of her mouth. As the boss, she likes to fight against the group of Mushroom Videos. She didn't expect that she still remembered the enmity that happened a few years ago.

After thinking about it, he immediately typed on the keyboard to reply.

Xue Yan: Mr. Yuan, I understand, so in the past two years we have not directly marked the names of the students, just to avoid being poached by others.

Xue Yan: I will immediately contact the contact person to find the author in advance.

Fang Yuan: Go ahead.

After replying to the conversation, Liu Xueyan frowned.

He is the editor of the animation section, and the bloggers he usually contacts directly contribute videos, including some editing, commentary, and recommendations, but this Ningda student obviously wants to sign into the animation production company under Tomato Video Network, and he The responsible animation area has nothing to do with it.

It's really a pot from the sky.

Liu Xueyan sighed, and glanced at Zhang Ke next to her. This little girl didn't know what medicine she had taken. She had been very excited since just now, and she was still humming a little tune. When she listened carefully, it was the background music of The Voice of the Stars.

"Forget it, let's get in touch first."

Liu Xueyan said to himself, opened the address book, and found the phone number of Professor Zhou, the animation major of Lining University, who contacted him to promote this public display.

Before making the call, Liu Xueyan checked the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Thinking about calling so late just to ask for a student's contact information seemed a bit fussy, Liu Xueyan put down the phone again.

"Otherwise, I will contact you tomorrow, yes, there will be a lecture tomorrow."

Liu Xueyan glanced at the sticky note on the desk, which read "May 9th, Ningda University Lecture".

This is the graduate presentation held by Tomato Video Network at Ningjiang University. This kind of activity is normal during the graduation season. Usually there will be large-scale spring recruitment in March and April. Various companies will recruit a group of graduates at the spring job fair .

And some big companies headed by Tomato Video Network will only start recruiting in May. Tomorrow will be an independent presentation. Liu Xueyan was supposed to attend as the person in charge of the content side, but because there are too many things tonight, I almost forgot .

"Why don't you just ask at the presentation tomorrow."

Even if this animator is really a genius, he was not Liu Xueyan's subordinate who recruited Tomato Video Network, so he was not so enthusiastic. He was only a little curious about what kind of genius a college student who can make such an animation is.

The shadows of the trees on the iconic Wutong Avenue of Ningda University are mottled, and from time to time you can see couples walking hand in hand to the library. Xu Rui, carrying a bag, turned into the large classroom in Building No. 2 with ease.

This classroom can accommodate more than 400 people, and it is already full at the moment.

Fresh graduates from the Animation College of Ningjiang University have come here early. Excluding those who have taken postgraduate entrance examinations and those who have already found jobs, the remaining more than 300 senior students are basically guys with excellent grades. Their goals are very clear, that is, Enter tomato video network and other big companies.

Originally, participation in the lecture should be voluntary, but Professor Zhou asked all students who did not get an offer to participate, and had to sign in for attendance. Xu Rui then rushed back from the old fantasy animation and hurried back to school.

"Why are you here so late, find a seat and sit down."

Professor Zhou stood at the door, frowned as he looked at Xu Rui who had come late.

After signing in, Xu Rui found a corner seat with great difficulty. Before the bench was warmed up, he saw Professor Zhou quickly come to the podium, said a few words of business praise, and then invited a recruiter from Tomato Video Network to give a speech .

Xu Rui didn't listen much, because the people around him were a bit noisy to be honest.

"How many tomatoes can enter this year? I remember it was twelve last year?"

"Fourteen, including those who entered the technology department, but what's the point? I remember that Rainbow Media has only recruited one or two fresh graduates in the past ten years. They can't be number one in the industry. What's the difference with salted fish. "

"Stop bragging, don't talk about Rainbow Media, if Tomato Manufacturing sends you an offer, why don't you just run to kneel and lick it?"

"There are more than one hundred people in our class. I don't know if there are ten people who can enter the tomato production."

"But this year's animation design seems to be very strong, that Zhang Ran, he is always on the scholarship list, I have seen his final design, it is too strong."

"He will definitely be able to enter Tomato, and his girlfriend should also be able to enter. It's so cool."

"It shouldn't be a problem for him to enter tomato manufacturing. Rainbow Media is just dreaming. They don't send anyone to the presentation at all."

"Speaking of which, it seems a little weird to show this Bishe. I saw a video with a particularly high number of clicks. I guess it's Zhang Ran's."

"Ah? I didn't pay attention. Isn't that just a formality?"

Xu Rui glanced at Zhang Ran, who was sitting in the third row, calm and composed, and his girlfriend He Shuyi was sitting on the side, both of them were high school students, almost all of them were in the top five of the grade.

The briefing was very boring. Basically, the employees of Tomato Video Network boasted about their website and talked about some benefits. The person who spoke was probably the company's HR.

Liu Xueyan was also a little sleepy, thinking that these graduates would be drawn into Tomato Productions, an animation company under Tomato Video Network, to work as coolies, he was not too excited.

Just when HR finished speaking and entered the next free question-and-answer session, Liu Xueyan found Professor Zhou.

"Professor Zhou, hello, I'm Liu Xueyan from the animation group of Tomato Video Network, I've contacted you on the phone before."

He said it somewhat respectfully.

"Oh, Xiao Liu, what's the matter?"

Professor Zhou adjusted his glasses and looked up and down the man in front of him.

"It's like this. Didn't Ningda University also hold a graduation exhibition in our district this year? There is a video with very good data. I have watched it. It is very good. You know, we want to use this exhibition To lock some outstanding graduates into the animation company under Tomato Video Network in advance, so I want to get in touch with this person in advance."

Liu Xueyan assumed a business attitude and said politely.

"The data is particularly good?"

Hearing Liu Xueyan's words, Professor Zhou was a little puzzled. He didn't look at the webpage after he uploaded it yesterday. After all, according to past experience, until the end of the two-week exhibition, the clicks on these completed videos were only 10,000 to 20,000. Not really "very good" stats.

"That's right, this video was released at noon, and by the end of the evening, it had been hit 500,000 times and recommended 300,000 times. We confirmed it in the backstage, and it was all real data. I also checked it. This video was also posted on Weibo. It is a hot seller, and it is estimated that the popularity will continue to rise in the past two days."

Liu Xueyan said that he saw Professor Zhou's eyes brighten up.

"Half a million hits!!?"

Professor Zhou almost lost his footing. He knew very well what it meant for a graduation video to have 500,000 hits. This is already the data of a popular video.

But in the case of a newcomer and no recommendation, it can rise to 500,000 hits in one afternoon. To be honest, Professor Zhou is not sure.

Because he had never seen such a monster-like video.

Zhang Ran's video has half a million hits? Is it too exaggerated?

Did he really find the treasure?

Professor Zhou recalled Zhang Ran's video. Although it is impeccable, it seems that it is not that simple to form a topic.

Seeing that Professor Zhou was very surprised, Liu Xueyan added another sentence.

"Our boss said that he can directly sign a contract with Rainbow Media."

This time, Professor Zhou became even more excited.

Rainbow Media! If I can teach a student who graduates from a bachelor's degree and enters Rainbow Media, it will be enough to boast for ten years. That is the top of the industry and the legendary dream team.

"Xiao Liu, he is my best student, and I have seen his strength for a long time."

Although it was a bit cloudy and I don't know why Rainbow Media extended an olive branch this time, Professor Zhou still replied, with a smile on his face unconsciously, and glanced at the people who had just talked with the animation department of Tomato Video Network. Zhang Ran chatted.

"That's really great, Professor Zhou, your vision is absolutely fine, can you let me talk to him?"

Liu Xueyan followed Professor Zhou's gaze, but did not find anyone very special.

"sure."

Professor Zhou nodded again and again, then waved over there.

"Zhang Ran, come here."

Going to sign a contract today, update a big chapter
