December, near the end of the year.

    The teaching work of Wucheng University of Arts and science is going on in an orderly way.

    Xu Bin led the team of Chen Jun and Ou Yangchen to prepare for ACM International Undergraduate Program Design Competition.

    The ACM International Undergraduate Program Design Competition is held in Zurich, the largest Swiss city in Europe.

    At that time, Ding Yue will personally lead the team to Zurich, Switzerland to participate in the competition.

    During the preparation for ACM, Xu Bin also took time to complete his graduation thesis and successfully completed the thesis defense.

    The first group of nine students who are going to graduate ahead of time have finished their graduation thesis and defense one after another.

    Ding Yue hopes that before New Year''s day, that is, after coming back from Europe to participate in ACM competition, he can hold a small graduation ceremony for the first batch of students who graduated in advance and present their diplomas.

    However.

    Before Ding Yue went to Europe for ACM competition, the most important thing he wanted to explain was about animation major.

    Because with the deepening of exchanges and cooperation between the school of architecture and Medical College of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, East China University of architecture and engineering and Wucheng Medical University, the strength of the two departments has been greatly improved, and several honorary professors from East China University of architecture and engineering have been added to the School of architecture.

    The medical college purchased a batch of advanced equipment and cooperated more closely with Wucheng Medical University. Therefore, the progress of the professional tasks of the two departments evaluated by the system also reached 100%.

    At present, the task schedule of key specialty level has reached 45, which is short of the last specialty.

    That''s right.

    This last major is animation design and production.

    The day before going to Europe, Ding Yue came to leap animation studio again.

    After a long period of rest and rich bonus, the members of Feiyue animation studio are full of energy.

    Even if there is no project now, we are trying to make our animation design and production skills more skilled.

    "Headmaster Ding, why are you here?"

    Xu Jiuge saw headmaster Ding come to the leap animation studio and immediately got up from her desk to welcome her.

    "I''ll come and have a look."

    Ding Yue casually said, and then looked at everyone''s state, as if they were pretty good.

    Among them, the partners who came to Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences with Xu Jiuge are basically teachers of animation design and production major in Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, and some of them should teach animation majors in the teaching building now.

    At present, with the enrollment in 2021, the number of students majoring in animation design and production has expanded a lot. In addition to last year''s session, it has reached four classes.

    And "super power team" was released in October, and it is estimated that this time next year, the number of animation students is likely to soar.

    Because there are certainly not a few students who love animation in China. In addition, the leap animation studio of Wucheng University of Arts and science and the animation major have created such excellent pop money as "super Marine Corps". It is sure that when enrolling students next year, countless people will rush for it.

    This is a good thing for animation major. For Ding Yue, the more students who come to sign up, the better.

    In any case, the comprehensive infrastructure of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has begun. After the expansion of the 5000 mu campus is completed, the capacity will exceed 100000, or even accommodate more than 100000 students.

    At that time, are you still afraid of hundreds or thousands of animation majors?

    Isn''t it great that you can charge tens of thousands of tuition fees and other expenses in one more year?

    Xu Jiuge takes a look at President Ding. Although President Ding says he''s coming to have a look, the smart Xu Jiuge naturally knows what President Ding is doing here.

    "Headmaster Ding, last time you told me that to improve the hard power of our animation major, I thought about it. It''s the easiest thing to start with the improvement of teachers'' education."

    Xu Jiuge followed president Ding and said seriously.

    "Well."

    Ding Yue nodded and asked, "have you made any progress?"

    "I contacted the professors of Guangcheng Communication University before me, and asked them to come to our Wucheng University of Arts and science to be registered, but they are still talking about it." Xu Jiuge replied.

    At present, there is no serious professor in animation design and production major. Ding Yue must attach great importance to the teaching staff if he thinks about systematically evaluating the task progress of this major.

    Therefore, Ding Yue asked Xu Jiuge to come to Wucheng University of Arts and science as a breakthrough from finding a professor of animation.

    Naturally, Xu Jiuge has a good relationship, because she is an animation major in Guangcheng Communication University, and her teachers are full of professors in the field of animation.

    However.

    Ding Yue knows that it is not so easy to invite the professor from Guangcheng Communication University.It took Ding Yue so much time to invite Professor Luo Xiang of Xiaguo University of political science and law. It''s basically no less difficult to invite Professor Luo Xiang of Guangcheng Communication University.

    Of course, sometimes, as long as the money is in place, and the animation major of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is based on the box office work "super Marines", it is not unattractive for the animation professors of Guangcheng Communication University or other universities.

    "Your teacher, they don''t want to leave Guangcheng Communication University? Or is it too little? "

    Ding Yue asked quite directly.

    After hearing the speech, Xu Jiuge thought about it, and then replied, "the conditions offered by the school are already very rich. I think the reason why the teachers are still hesitating is that they have pressure."

    After all, not every professor can go to any other university as a temporary post. First of all, it''s still a question whether his own school will allow him or not.

    Otherwise, you will have to leave and re-enter Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.

    But Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is a private university after all. For those professors, Guangcheng Communication University not only has social status and stability, but also has a sense of formality.

    Once you leave Guangcheng Communication University and go to Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, you will be transformed from a regular army into a miscellaneous army.

    "Well, there are many influencing factors in this respect, but it''s better to make sure as soon as possible." Ding Yue can''t wait to make the animation major achieve the task schedule, so as to complete the big task of [key professional level], and then get rich rewards.

    I don''t know if I could get this huge reward years ago.

    If you get it, it will be equivalent to the opening ceremony of 2022. What is more rewarding than this task?

    At present, there is obviously no more.

    "Headmaster Ding, I will try my best to negotiate with them." Xu Jiuge said seriously.

    Ding Yue naturally believes in Xu Jiuge''s ability to handle affairs. However, Ding Yue thinks that in addition to recruiting professor level characters, animation major may have another way to improve the progress.

    That is Lixin project!

    Lixin''s project is equivalent to animation major and leap animation studio will invest money and personnel to create new works for the animation major of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. Perhaps this can also improve the percentage of task progress.

    What''s more, leap animation studio has been resting for such a long time, and it''s time for new projects to be put on the agenda.

    After all, a new project is possible in a few months or a year and a half, from the birth of the project, to the start of production, and then to the completion.

    Now it''s the end of 2021. We are discussing the project of Lixin, which can be regarded as planning for the leap animation studio in 2022.

    There is also a chance to improve the percentage progress of the task, killing two birds with one stone.

    "Jiuge, we should seize the time to invite professors, but there is one more thing that we should think about in Feiyue animation studio."

    Ding Yue goes to a chair and says to Xu Jiuge after sitting down.

    "Principal Ding, you mean..."

    Xu Jiuge probably understands what principal Ding means.

    She is a smart girl full of youthful vitality. From the tone of headmaster Ding and the words just now, we can see that headmaster Ding probably wants to plan for the follow-up of Feiyue animation studio.

    Because since the acquisition of leap animation studio was established one year ago, it has produced its first work "super Marine Corps", which is very successful.

    But leap animation studio obviously can''t sit on the credit book for this.

    At least one or two years of a high-quality work, or one year, this is the basic guarantee of an excellent animation studio.

    Several foreign Hollywood animation studios are like this, basically every year can produce a quality animation works.

    "Yes, at the end of the year, it''s time for us to think about new projects."

    Ding Yue nodded with a smile.

    "President Ding is right. A high-quality animation studio needs to have a good work every year in order to gain a firm foothold in the industry. What''s more, our domestic animation market has huge potential. At present, there is no such giant as Hollywood, so if we maintain a good development, the domestic animation market in the future will be ours, and we still have a long way to go We can go international

    Xu Jiuge agrees with President Ding''s words from a very rational point of view.

    Ding Yue thinks that Xu Jiuge has a long-term vision. She is not limited to her current success and is complacent. Instead, she knows that to maintain a good development, she should first occupy the domestic animation market and then go abroad.

    It''s the person I Ding Yue got!

    "But... Headmaster Ding, the words of the new project..."

    Xu Jiuge just said something impassioned, and then his tone suddenly withered.That''s the truth.

    What can we do for new projects?

    "Super Marine Corps" has a medical and health robot Dabai Zhuyu in front, and then based on the medical and health robot Dabai adapted animation film.

    First of all, the medical health robot Dabai has been very popular and loved by the majority of people before the animation movie came out.

    New projects, it is obviously impossible to do "super marine corps 2" directly, right?

    In fact, the most taboo thing in the industry is to do sequels, because sequels often can''t surpass the previous works to a great extent, and may even break the reputation. If we do "super Marines 2" immediately, it''s not clear that we want to "make money".

    "Don''t you know what to do?" Ding Yue calmly smiles and asks.

    Xu Jiuge was sincere, nodded and replied: "well, it''s really hard to choose the theme and the source of creation at present...

    an animation work must have a source of creation, right?

    Many domestic animation companies often make animation works based on the monkey king, the Three Kingdoms and other themes of journey to the West. Of course, there are also original works, but the first thing to do is to set a tone.

    The tone is - what to do?

    However, before Ding Yue actually came, he had already thought about it. This time, animation studio will set up a new project and do something unique.

    If you want to make an animated film, you''ve already made a super marine. Maybe it''s not bad to make another animated film in 2023 every other year.

    As for 2022, Ding Yue has a new idea.

    "This time, we don''t make animated films, we make animated short films."
