The movement of Tomato Video Network quickly spread to Xu Rui, who was still busy with the production of "Madoka Magical Girl" at this time, and when he heard executive producer Xu Yang tell him about it, Xu Rui had just come back from the recording studio.

The reason for the discovery was that Xu Yang was about to upload the first trailer of "Madoka Magical Girl", and was ready to release it on the night of the animation industry conference, but after a longer review period than usual, he got the result of failing the review, and the irony is that the main reason for the failure of the review was the same manuscript.

Xu Yang searched on Tomato Video Network, and found that most of the videos about Phantom Electric had disappeared, and the entire website was clean, except for the "Unnatural Death" uploaded by the official account, there was no other derivative work left.

"Don't panic."

Xu Rui smelled a bad breath, he returned to the office, confirmed it himself, and then looked at the added groups, there are indeed people discussing this matter, but the official reason given by Tomato Video Network is that it is under review, and this situation will occasionally occur, mostly because of server convulsions or bugs, so it has not caused too many waves among creators for the time being.

After looking for it, Xu Rui found a business card from the drawer, which was the business card given to him by the editor when Tomato Video Network extended an olive branch to him, he dialed the phone, and it took about a minute before the other party connected.

"Hello, is it edited by Liu Xueyan, I'm Xu Rui of Phantom Electric Animation."

Xu Rui asked, and then, he could feel the other side gasp before answering.

"I am, but I'm not an editor anymore."

In the underground warehouse of Tomato Video Network, Liu Xueyan, who was counting the official coser costumes needed for the next comic exhibition, sighed softly.

"You want to ask about the video being taken down."

"Well, yes, editor, it's not a simple server twitch or a bug."

When Xu Rui heard Liu Xueyan's answer, he already knew it, and he confirmed.

"Your new animation, have you found a good channel for broadcasting?"

Liu Xueyan was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Rui to guess so deeply, he thought about it, and asked a little abruptly.

"Not yet, there are several currently talking, but the specific signing will not be until August."

A new round of animation broadcast rights sales will be after the broadcast of the animation in July, and each website will purchase it according to its own plan, so the animation broadcast of "Madoka Magical Girl" is still inconclusive.

"You can check Dream Flying Animation, Rising Sun Animation, and Cat Production, I can't say much, I can only remind you to be careful."

“…… I see, thank you, editor Xueyan Liu. ”

Xu Rui was about to say goodbye to the other party, but after thinking about it, he said again.

"If you need help with anything, feel free to call me this number."

“…… Good. ”

Liu Xueyan heard what Xu Rui meant, but he didn't expect the same words to come out of Xu Rui's mouth after a year, Liu Xueyan was a little shaken in his heart, but he still has a favor for tomatoes, after all, this is the website where he squandered his youth.

He hung up the phone and looked at the quiet and cold warehouse again.

A sigh.

……

Xu Rui quickly searched for several animation companies mentioned by Liu Xueyan, and he found that these animation companies used to have some good works, but then they quickly failed, and were finally acquired by Tomato Video Network and became the production team of its two animation companies.

After searching for related content again, Xu Rui figured out the current situation.

Different from the earth,Most of the video websites in Huaxia have established a fairly complete profit model and ecological closed loop,For example, Tomato Video Network,It can be completely self-sufficient,From creativity to works,To derivation,And occupy the most users,For those animation companies,Tomato video network and other big websites are equivalent to channels,It is equivalent to the penguin empire of the earth。

Since anime broadcast on TV stations requires a hard background, most animation companies broadcast their anime for the first time in the form of online platforms.

Those animation companies that were acquired were all because they did not negotiate the broadcast on the Tomato Video Network, and even the broadcast rights of other video networks were shelved, which eventually led to the animation not being broadcast on a platform, and the quality itself was not enough to form a word-of-mouth effect, resulting in a big loss, and the company's operation was difficult to maintain, so it could only be sold cheaply.

Although some animations can be played, according to the financial reports revealed afterwards, their prices have been pushed to a very low level, almost to the level of recovering costs, and it will also lead to the collapse of companies with insufficient economic strength.

Even,Xu Rui checked along this line,The most difficult period of the old phantom animation,There was also a similar situation,Video websites jointly lowered prices and blocked,It's just that the company went bankrupt directly,It was dispersed before it had time to be acquired,Most of its core members have been absorbed into the animation companies under these websites,It's a disguised acquisition。

Unexpectedly, so soon, the same method came to Xu Rui's new phantom head.

Xu Rui has seen this method many times on the earth, and this is what a certain Internet empire with a big business is best at, so Xu Rui quickly figured out the ins and outs.

Xu Rui thought about it for a while, and in the face of channel blocking, it was not completely countermeasured.

First of all, the quality of the work is sufficient, and it can still form a word-of-mouth effect, so that the work has enough tap water to spread among the audience.

Secondly, the collaboration of video sites is not impregnable, with the current level of the two animations of Phantom Electric, there will definitely be websites that can't help but spend money to buy "Madoka Magical Girl", just see who is the second or fifth boy at that time.

In the end, Xu Rui thought that he had no plan for the time being in the face of Huaxia's developed video website, but now, it seems that it has become an urgent matter to establish a video website by himself.

……

The car with the phantom sign drove on the highway and soon arrived at the Ningjiang Laozhuang International Convention and Exhibition Center.

Ningjiang in mid-July is extremely hot, but the square outside the International Convention and Exhibition Center is crowded, surrounded by photographers from all walks of life, people can't help but stop and look at the dazzling [beep--] and [beep-].

At a glance, Xu Rui saw that the dress of these cosers was also different from the previous year, many of the characters of the season's popular animation replaced the characters in last year's old animation, and she also saw many female cosers wearing school uniforms in "Soul Eater: Zero" and holding long swords, presumably playing Li Leshen or Huangfu Xun.

Xu Rui parked the car in the underground garage, walked on the ground with Yi Qianqian, and watched Yi Qianqian, who was dressed in a dress, walk into the convention and exhibition center, and then follow the familiar road to the nearby hotel.

He is still dressed in a T-shirt and trousers, and his suit is in the car, after all, he doesn't have to speak at the industry meeting, he just needs to sit and listen.

As soon as the long and dull industry meeting ended, Xu Rui wanted to run away immediately.

Because according to what I just heard, the annual animation awards ceremony will be held at 5 p.m. in a conference hall of the hotel, until 7 p.m., and a dinner will be held in the banquet hall after 7 p.m., and the award ceremony will be broadcast on Ningjiang TV and major media websites, which is quite grand.

In this way, Xu Rui had to return to the hotel at four o'clock to change into formal clothes, and he had a lot less time to accompany Yi Qianqian and others.

He had just walked out of the conference room when a voice stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Xu Rui."

Turning his head, Xu Rui realized that the person who stopped him was Wuyi, the hottest animation director today.
