Chapter 125: Chapter 124: 3D Modelling Big White● - ● (10)_1
Xu Jiuge’s fair hand pulled out a dossier from her bag.
Then she handed it to Ding Yue, "Principal Ding, here’s the detailed information about our Tianqi Studio. You can have a look."
"First of all, Tianqi Animation Studio has no external disputes or debt disputes, and we also own two original anime IP copyrights. However, these two IPs have not been developed yet."
Xu Jiuge said regretfully, while pulling out an anime figure from her bag.
It was a Chinese-style anime figure.
Clearly, this was the character from the original anime IP that Xu Jiuge said their Tianqi Animation Studio owned.
It looked quite good.
After Ding Yue glanced at the figure presented by Xu Jiuge, he lowered his head to look at the information about Tianqi Animation Studio carefully.
First of all, it can be confirmed that currently Tianqi Animation Studio indeed has no debt disputes. The project had been temporarily halted due to insufficient funds.
There were nineteen people in the studio, including Xu Jiuge. Thirteen of them graduated from an anime major; hence, they form the anime production team.
The asking price of 6 million yuan was to acquire the whole Tianqi Animation Studio.
If it were just this team of nineteen people, it certainly would not be worth the high price of 6 million yuan. However, coupled with the two original IPs and their ability to create original anime...
Ding Yue appeared to accept this price.
For Ding Yue, 6 million yuan was nothing more than an ordinary University Task bonus.
"If I purchase Tianqi, I will require your anime production team of thirteen technical talents to guide our anime major students at our university. You shouldn’t have a problem with that, should you?" Ding Yue pondered.
The thirteen people in Tianqi Animation Studio’s anime production team were all seasoned anime production technicians.
If they joined Mist City Arts and Science University, not only could they work for Feiyue Animation, but they could also become teachers for the anime major at Mist City Arts and Science University, and guide the freshmen?
Two birds with one stone.
Ding Yue thought it was a bargain.
"If Principal Ding needs it, we will definitely listen to you. After all, you will be our boss," Xu Jiuge nodded boldly, "We actually hope to see more excellent talents emerge in the domestic anime industry."
"That’s good. I’ve decided. 6 million yuan, I’m buying Tianqi Animation."
Seeing Xu Jiuge’s straightforward manner, Ding Yue decided to stop hesitating.
After acquiring Tianqi Animation Studio, restructuring it to become Feiyue Animation, plus the students from the anime major at the university, there should be no problem producing "Super Combat Team".
Moreover, this action is not just for the production of "Super Combat Team", but also for the future of the fairly popular program of Animation Design and Production at Mist City Arts and Science University.
As long as Mist City Arts and Science University sets strict graduation thresholds for students in the Animation Design and Production major...
Those who can graduate smoothly, Ding Yue can directly recruit into his own Feiyue Animation.
A perfect internal cycle.
This is also very much in line with the education policy that Ding Yue set from the beginning - "rather than improving the employment rate of graduates, why not create jobs."
"Wen Ruohan, prepare the acquisition contract."
Ding Yue turned his head and said to his secretary Wen Ruohan.
"Alright, Principal Ding."
Wen Ruohan immediately walked towards her workstation.
Since Ding Yue’s office was large enough, Wen Ruohan’s secretarial office was set up on the left side of the entrance.
It is equipped with a dedicated office desk and computer.
Upon seeing Principal Ding decide to acquire Tianqi Animation Studio for 6 million yuan, Xu Jiuge happily said, "Thank you, Principal Ding. My team and I will be working for you from now on."
"I hope you won’t let me down." After confirming the acquisition, Ding Yue turned his gaze to Qian Cheng, the teacher of the Animation Design and Production major, and three other students.
On the other hand, Xu Jiuge notified her studio buddies via their chat group that Mist City Arts and Science University had confirmed the acquisition.
As early as half a year ago, Tianqi Animation Studio was eager to sell.
But there has been no suitable opportunity.
Now, they’ve met Principal Ding, a surely rich school trustee of a private university. After the acquisition, the members of Tianqi Animation Studio are honestly quite happy.
Because they still want to work together in the animation business.
But if Tianqi Animation Studio were to continue dragging this out and go bankrupt, then everyone would have to go their separate ways.
But now...
If Tianqi Animation is acquired by Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University, becomes part of Principal Ding’s Feiyue Group, is restructured into Feiyue Animation, the original team can continue working together. That’s obviously a good thing.
"Zhao Yongxing, Li Jiajia, Chen Wang, you are the top three students in the animation major. I just told you about an opportunity to gain experience in an animation studio. What do you think?"
Although Ding Yue knew that these three students’ abilities would not be as strong as Xu Jiuge’s team...
But as long as they joined and were mentored by Xu Jiuge’s team, considering Zhao Yongxing, Li Jiajia, and Chen Wang’s learning abilities, their rate of progress should be fast.
With the addition of Teacher Qian Cheng and Xu Jiuge, their animation production team could expand to 17 members to produce the "Super Combat Team".
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhao Yongxing agreed hastily without even giving it a second thought.
Because Zhao Yongxing was a quick thinker, he saw this as an excellent opportunity.
If he could enter the Feiyue Animation Studio at school for early internship and participate in animation production projects, then he could start working right after graduation.
At that time, he would not have to worry about the difficulty of finding a job.
Seeing Zhao Yongxing agreed, Li Jiajia and Chen Wang looked at each other, then they also nodded.
Chen Wang was quite candid and said, "Principal Ding, I... I am afraid I have limited ability and may not be able to catch up..."
"Chen Wang, didn’t I just say? Letting you into Feiyue Animation at school is to allow you to learn and progress faster. Don’t you have confidence in yourself?"
Chen Wang nodded violently, his expression appearing very firm, and said, "I have confidence, thank you Principal Ding!"
Then, Ding Yue looked at Teacher Qian Cheng.
Qian Cheng immediately understood Principal Ding’s intention and said, "Everything follows your arrangement, Principal Ding."
Teacher Qian was very perceptive, which Ding Yue appreciated. He liked employees who understood his meaning without him having to say much.
Just like the previous head of the Film and Television Academy, Zhu Youzhao.
"The students and teachers of our school’s mechanical engineering department, computer department, and other majors are working on an intelligent robot project. What you have to do is to promote our intelligent robot through animation. Its name is Big White."
As Ding Yue said this, he took out several sketches of Big White from the drawer of his desk, "You can first try to model based on this, no problem, right?"
Xu Jiuge was the first to take a sketch. After a glance, she said without any pressure, "It looks simple."
"It seems simple, but to make it natural enough and highlight Big White’s cute and warm character."
Ding Yue instructed.
"Yes, it does look cute. Such a big belly, short legs, these eyes... really nice. But...is this really a robot?"
Xu Jiuge thought the 2D image of Big White on the blueprint was cute enough.
But with such a design, are you sure it’s a robot?
"Considering the manufacturing cost of Big White, it is a very special and creative robot. The team from the mechanical department have started manufacturing it. When they finish, I will give you a physical model for reference, so you can create a 3D model for the animation. That won’t cause any problems, right?"
"Wow, Principal Ding, when can this robot be made? I can’t wait. As for 3D modeling, it won’t be a problem."
Xu Jiuge asked, looking forward to it.
"It will take some time to create Big White’s body. I don’t know if it can be done by the end of this semester."
Ding Yue could not give a specific date.
After all, it depends on the progress of Tong Yihang’s mechanical department team.
"Principal Ding, can I first try to do a 3D model based on the blueprint, and then you can see the effect?"
Xu Jiuge had fulfilled her travel plans during this time.
The Tianqi Animation Studio had been idle for long enough, and Xu Jiuge felt that if she didn’t pick up her animation production skills, her hands would get rusty.
"You alone?"
Ding Yue looked at Xu Jiuge in surprise and asked.
"Just modeling Big White won’t be a problem. Give me a week’s time. In the meantime, can I wait here for my team members?"
Xu Jiuge thought that Mist City Arts and Science University was quite nice. So she would stay here and mix with Principal Ding.
The only downside here might be that it was a bit remote. She had to leave the bustling city center of Mist City and take public transportation to University Town in the suburbs.
And Mist City Arts and Science University was located at the edge of University Town.
It really was quite remote.
However.
Xu Jiuge was looking forward to the campus-themed hotpot in Mist City tonight, courtesy of Principal Ding.
"So, you will just stay here at our school? That can be arranged. I’ll have logistics arrange a dormitory for you."
After Ding Yue finished speaking, Secretary Wen Ruohan brought over the completed acquisition agreement.
"You get in touch with Director Huang and have him arrange a dormitory in the Liyuan Apartments for Jiuge tonight. We also need to arrange accommodations for the other members of their team in due course."
Ding Yue instructed Wen Ruohan.
The nickname "Jiuge" was what Xu Jiuge asked Principal Ding to call her on the way to the office.
Because people who knew her, that’s what they called her.
After all, Xu Jiuge used this name as her software ID, as well as in the animation circle.
PS: Xu Jiuge is only a supporting character, don’t overthink.
