CATDOLL: Industry insiders: Animation production is unhappy and the turnover rate of newcomers is 80% within three years

After watching Shirobako, many young people with aspirations to succeed in society went to animation companies to apply for jobs. In the end, many Japanese animation practitioners complained about the newcomers who came to apply after watching Shirobako: "Shirobako is just an animation, don't think too much about it."

But in reality, the problems surrounding the Japanese animation industry environment have also attracted attention from all parties. How much do the industry workers earn is definitely the focus of everyone's attention. After all, how can so many people go to an industry that doesn't make money? Recently, a media outlet broke the news that the current annual income of new animators aged 20 to 24 is only a low 1.11 million yen.

1.11 million yen is about 58,000 RMB, which is not considered high in Japan or even in China. Japanese people of the same age in other professions have an annual income of 2.48 million yen, twice that of rookie animators. Faced with such low income, the media also pointed out that 80% of rookies choose to leave within 3 years.

In addition, the average income of a key painter is 2.817 million yen, a production manager is 3.092 million yen, and a director is 6.486 million yen. It should be said that if you reach the level of a key painter, you should have no major problems in making a normal living. However, as netizens said, "How many people can stick to the key painting position under such conditions?" Tencent Animation will continue to pay attention to more information about the industry.
