NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14
Chapter 14 Recruitment
It took only three days before Takagi Makoto produced the storyboard of the first five episodes of CL.
Inside DOS, everyone who got the storyboard was stunned.
“Is this drawn in three days?”
“Even if you tell me this was drawn by the president in three weeks, I’m willing to believe it.”
“When did our president become so great?”
“It’s too strong. No wonder he dared to take over the work of supervision, scripting, personality and producer alone.”
“Since the president is so powerful, what kind of supervision did you hire before?”
“It may also be stimulated by that Oda Zongzheng.”
People inside the company talked a lot.
Takagi Makoto knew nothing about it.
Although the storyboards of the first five episodes have come out, as a supervisor, not only can you draw a storyboard, there are many other things that he needs to personally check.
As a result, various meetings within the production team are held frequently, sometimes so frequently that there is a meeting every hour.
But in addition to meetings, there is one more thing that is especially important-recruitment.
The current animation is basically not done by a certain company alone, it is often a general contract of a certain company, and it is too busy, so some of the cuts are outsourced.
CL certainly needs outsourcing, but the quality of outsourcing is difficult to guarantee. It is better to hire more people from your own company, which is more reliable.
What’s more, even if some of the cuts are outsourced, the DOS manpower is still insufficient, and recruitment is imperative.
January 25th, 10 o’clock in the morning.
The DOS meeting room is arranged as an interview hall.
Takagi Makoto sits in the middle, with Esaka Noe and Ishikawa Akane on both sides. The three sit side by side, waiting for an interview.
“President, Ms. Ishikawa, forget it, why should I be an interviewer?” Esaka Noe asked puzzledly.
“It was recommended by Uchida. Ask him if you have any questions.” Takagi Makoto replied.
“I……”
Esaka Naomi suddenly looked wronged.
Uchida is regarded as her immediate boss, but this is not a big problem. After all, DOS is an animation production company, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not that rigid.
The real problem is that Uchida Okichi always feels serious and fierce at all times, and Esaka Noe is a little afraid of him.
Ask her to complain to Uchida, she doesn’t have the guts.
She bulged and muttered: “How do you feel that my production is like a tool person?”
Production is always a tool man.
Takagi Makoto secretly slandered, and said: “Okay, don’t complain, wait and ask a few questions, it’s not up to you who you want to hire and whether to hire or not.”
“Okay.” Esaka Noe finally died down.
After only a short while, the interviewer entered.
The first interviewee was a young man named Taro Komura, aged 22, a recent graduate of a certain pheasant university in Tokyo, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, very energetic.
This person came to apply for the production process. He first said hello, and then started to introduce himself under the instructions of Makoto Takagi.
The self-introduction was pretty normal, but he was obviously here for the interview, but this guy was not nervous at all, which was pretty good.
Wait until the self-introduction is finished, and then enter the questioning session.
Takagi Makoto asked first: “There are so many animation companies in Tokyo, why don’t you choose another company and apply for our company?”
Taro Yukimura glanced at Takagi Makoto, and replied without thinking, “I have applied for other companies, but I was rejected.”
“What do you know about our company?” Takagi Makoto asked again.
“It has been more than two years since its establishment, and an animation “Heartbeat Cabin” was published, but the sales were very bleak.” Taro Komura replied truthfully.
Takagi Makoto: [・ヘ・?]
Although the answers to the two questions are very honest, and there is no trace of lying, I always feel that something is wrong.
Did you answer the interviewer’s question like this?
He resisted the urge to explode, asked a few more questions casually, and then asked Taro Komura to go back and wait for the notice.
I thought it was outrageous to meet job seekers like Taro Komura, but Makoto Takagi was so confused that the job seekers behind them became more and more outrageous.
Some people haven’t watched a few animations seriously, and actually want to come to DOS to apply for a job. I don’t know if they can’t find a job, so they want to come here to try their luck.
At first, Takagi Makoto still had the energy to ask questions one by one, but later he didn’t even bother to ask, and directly delegated the power of questioning to Esaka Noe and Ishikawa Akane.
When all the interviews were over, Takagi Makoto couldn’t help but complain: “This is the worst job applicant I have ever seen.”
“President, our company doesn’t have a good reputation in the industry.” Esaka Noe answered.
Makoto Takagi glanced at Esaka Noe.
Esaka Noe instantly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands.
“Esaka.” Takagi Makoto called out.
“Yes!”
Esaka Noe stood up from his seat, stiff, like a robot.
“Go and pour me a glass of water.” Takagi Makoto ordered.
“Okay, okay.” Esaka Naomi was amnesty, and quickly went to help Takagi Makoto pour water.
When she walked to the door, she reacted violently, looked back, and muttered: “I call me honestly, I really am a tool man in this production process.”
Takagi Makoto did not hear Esaka Noe’s mutter this time. When Esaka Noe drew the meeting room, he said: “DOS is really not well-known and reputation at the moment, but one day it will become the industry’s first-class animation production company. People who look down on DOS now will regret it one day.”
Akane Ishikawa couldn’t help but glanced at Takagi Makoto. She didn’t understand where Takagi Makoto’s confidence came from, but she didn’t ask more, just agreed: “There will be such a day.”
After a pause, he asked: “President, can we still recruit these people who are applying?”
“Recruit a batch of batches, and slowly cultivate after recruiting. Even if the new animation may not be available for the time being, it will definitely be able to play a role in the future.”
Takagi Makoto said, “In addition, I will find a way to recruit a few people from other companies.”
“Understood.” Akane Ishikawa nodded.
“You go ahead, I’ll think about it by myself.” Takagi Makoto said again.
Akane Ishikawa had no objection, got up and gave a salute, and then walked out of the meeting room.
Only Takagi Makoto is left.
Makoto Takagi thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called one by one.
Although I don’t want to use it, Makoto Takagi was born in production after all, and has worked as a production manager, and his contacts are pretty good.
You can try to see if you can dig over people you have worked with or friends in the industry.
Of course, Takagi Makoto did not forget to call Akino Kawano: “Ms. Kawano, I want to dig some people to our DOS, can you help me find it?”
Kawano Akino seemed a little confused, and after a while said, “President Takagi, what do you think of us Chikawa? We are a planning company, not a headhunting company.”
“But you said before that you can ask you for help if you have a problem.”
“Then you are really welcome.”
“Thanks.”
“You…! Forget it, what kind of people do you plan to dig? What kind of conditions can you offer?”
“On my side, there is a shortage of talents of all types. As long as the character is reliable and the ability is okay, everything is easy to say. Of course, it is best to help me dig a production process. I can give a job-hopping fee if there are other requirements. , I will try my best to be satisfied.”
“Okay, I’ll help you find it first, you wait for my news.”
