"Heard that Principal Ding will be coming over to hand out our bonus?"
"No idea, Si Xu merely asked us to come, saying there’s an important announcement to make."
"I also heard that Principal Ding is coming to award us a bonus, after all, he mentioned it in the studio before."
"How much bonus are we talking?"
"Considering the booming box office of our ’Super Combat Team’, we should at least get a bonus of ten thousand yuan each, right?"
"Wow! Ten thousand, like picking up a windfall, exhilarating!"
"Liu Cheng, you promised to treat me to something worth 3000 yuan once you get this bonus!"
"3000 yuan for what?"
"What are you talking about?"
"How would I know what they’re on about?"
"’Super Combat Team’ box office has grossed over twenty billion, the bonus must be more than just ten thousand yuan, right?"
"How much more are you thinking? After all, the main contributors of ’Super Combat Team’ are mainly Si Xu and her team."
In the Feiyue Animation Studio at Mist City Arts and Science University, over thirty people have gathered here, waiting for the arrival of Principal Ding.
Many started whispering among themselves, speculating that Principal Ding is here possibly to give everyone a bonus.
Everyone was guessing, how much bonus will they get?
Twenty thousand yuan?
Or even fifty thousand?
This money was, without doubt, an extra benefit for them, like finding unexpected windfall.
Because during the production of ’Super Combat Team’, Principal Ding provided each member of Feiyue Animation Studio with their respective salary and benefits.
Later, Principal Ding promised everyone that he would give out a part of the net box office profits to the entire studio as a bonus, which got everyone incredibly excited and motivated to work.
Now, ’Super Combat Team’ has been released for a month. Although the box office profits have not been divided yet, Principal Ding might distribute the bonuses in advance.
There are currently over thirty people in the Feiyue Animation Studio. Before this, there were only Xu Jiuge and her partners, those who came over from the Tianqi Animation Studio.
But with the production of ’Super Combat Team’ requiring more manpower, Xu Jiuge successively selected some outstanding interns from the animation design and production major to join the studio team.
Up to now, there are 36 full-time employees in the Feiyue Animation Studio. All of them are experts and talents in various fields, with Xu Jiuge as the head.
Xu Jiuge noticed that while the students from the animation design and production major of Mist City Arts and Science University may not possess extreme talents, their determination and hard work were admirable.
No wonder everyone praises the learning environment of Mist City Arts and Science University. Any student who manages to get admitted there will diligently strive to learn.
"Si Xu, is Principal Ding really coming to distribute bonuses to us?" A student curiously asked Xu Jiuge.
Several other students also looked at Xu Jiuge with expectant eyes.
Xu Jiuge nodded and said, "The secretary Wen told me so, but I’m not really sure. Let’s see what Principal Ding says when he comes in a while."
Speaking of bonuses, Xu Jiuge and her colleagues were also excited.
Ever since they entered the animation production industry, Xu Jiuge and her colleagues have always been losing money, and they haven’t earned any for a long time.
Now, they have produced this animated movie, ’Super Combat Team’, which has become a massive hit. Everyone would be thrilled if bonuses were distributed now!
"Principal Ding has arrived."
Someone at the studio’s door started to see Principal Ding and the secretary Wen approaching from afar.
"Everyone, brace yourselves, we have been resting for over two months now. Let Principal Ding see our rejuvenated selves!"
Xu Jiuge reminded her studio members.
Although everyone had dark circles under their eyes, looking like pandas from overworking, it was necessary because they were really tired at that time, making ’Super Combat Team’ day and night.
But after ’Super Combat Team’ was completed, Principal Ding gave everyone a holiday for the whole of September.
The movie premiered in October, and everyone was still on paid leave. Principal Ding was really good to everyone.
With over two months of rest, any working adult would have definitely been able to recharge fully.
Hence, everyone suddenly looked more spirited, each showing a refreshed look, anticipating the bonus that Principal Ding might give.
Everyone was hoping that Principal Ding would come over to give out bonuses. Of course, even if it wasn’t for the bonuses, Principal Ding visiting would surely mean something good was about to happen.
Accompanied by his secretary Wen Ruohan, Ding Yue arrived at the entrance of the Feiyue Animation Studio. Immediately, he saw the dozens of lively people standing inside.
"Good morning, Principal Ding!"
Everyone in unison greeted Principal Ding.
"Students... Uh, everyone, good morning!" Ding Yue almost subconsciously replied with a greeting to the ’students’.
On second thoughts, not all members of the Feiyue Animation Studio were students of Mist City Arts and Science University.
Xu Jiuge and her dozen partners were all animation producers who have already graduated from college.
"That’s quite a crowd."
