Xu Rui has been very busy these two days, and "Your Name" needs a lot of supervision from himself in the early stages of production, and he will only be a little more relaxed when everything is on the right track.

Yi Qianqian is raising his body at his mother's house, and Xu Rui eats at noon to see which group the last meeting in the morning will be with, so he goes to the cafeteria with the people in charge.

This morning is a painting meeting, and Xu Rui is surrounded by Lin Shuyi and others.

He eats relatively simple, stir-fried beef with celery, shredded potatoes, fried cabbage, and a bowl of kelp pork rib soup, which at first glance does not look like the boss of a company at all, but like an ordinary low-level clerk.

“...... Have you heard, the boss of the anime soul seems to have been opened directly by the tomato? ”

The original artists on the side chatted while eating, without the slightest sense of urgency that the boss was sitting next to him.

"I also saw Weibo, probably because the face-scaring Weibo made the people on it unhappy, so I opened it directly."

"Tut-tut, I've watched two episodes of Anime Soul before, and to be honest, I can see that the author is quite serious, but the drop of the book bag is too serious, and many places are too theoretical, and the actual on-site operation is not like that at all, it is written by a layman."

"But the candidates for the Animation Art Award are also quite funny.,Our family's animation is basically excluded.,In the end, it's all Tomato Video Network's own works.,It's better to simply change the name to the Tomato Animation Art Award.。

"Speaking of which, this year's annual animation of "Music Girl" should be stable......"

Xu Rui listened to their chat casually, and did not intervene at will, just ate silently.

Lin Shuyi, as the character design and executive painting director of "Your Name", naturally also participated in the painting meeting, and is now sitting opposite Xu Rui.

This was originally supposed to be Sister Qianqian's position, Lin Shuyi didn't think of it.

“...... The recent Animation Art Awards seem to have been quite lively. ”

Lin Shuyi didn't have Wu Hongyan and Han Qingwen by her side, and it was still a little awkward to get along with Xu Rui, she was also eating lunch in silence, but when she heard the discussion of the people next to her, she also tried to find a topic.

"Well, there are too many loopholes in the organization of Tomato Video Network."

Xu Rui swallowed what was in his mouth before speaking.

"And the positioning of this award is not very clear,Judging from the name and introduction,Tomato Video Network wants to take the high-end road,Make it a selection similar to the annual animation,But it doesn't have such a strong appeal,And want to hide private,In the end, you can only find a group of more amateur self-media as judges。

"And how will this grand prize end?"

Lin Shuyi couldn't help but ask.

"The best result is probably to select a few of their own works and end hastily, and the worst result, I think it may be that the judges themselves fight, and finally make the whole selection a miasma."

Xu Rui thought for a while and replied.

"To do such a selection, what you need is to be fair and objective, and to win the award with your own ability, if you have a purpose at the beginning, the foundation is crooked, and it is naturally impossible to gain anything."

His current attitude towards Tomato Video Network is strategic contempt and tactical attention.

Although in terms of volume,Tomato video network is much larger than the first sound video network,If the first sound video network occupies the young market,Then the tomato video network occupies the market of all ages,Like primary school students,The elderly,Users like middle-aged people,More dependent on tomato video network。

However, the overall trend of Chuyin Video Network is rising, and the expansion rate is far better than that of Tomato Video Network, and it is even better in overseas markets, and over time, it will inevitably surpass Tomato Video Network.

But even so, Xu Rui will not ignore some small actions of Tomato Video Network, just like this Animation Art Award, if Tomato Video Network can really rely on this award to grab some benefits, then Xu Rui will naturally not sit idly by, but after considering the logic, he knew that this project was not to be afraid at all, so he didn't pay much attention.

Lin Shuyi nodded ignorantly, she probably thought about what Xu Rui said, but she still felt very angry, why should her own animation be belittled by those self-media, but it was the mass production animation produced by Tomato Video Network that was touted by the judges.

Xu Rui had lunch, took a fifteen-minute lunch break, and then started working again.

This meeting has nothing to do with animation, but Zheng Weijie, who has been taking materials from barbecue stalls across the country for most of the year.

When I met the director in the conference room, he had already been tanned a lot, and his body was very smoky, like those barbecue masters who had been standing in front of the grill for a long time.

However, unexpectedly, Zheng Weijie did not gain too much weight, but the travel for most of the year made him lose a lot of weight, and the whole person became a lot more capable.

"I've worked hard for you in the past six months."

Xu Rui said that Zheng Weijie's filming work is not over yet, he just came to report after returning to Ningjiang this time, and he will leave by plane again soon, which is even busier than Xu Rui.

"It's not hard at all, but through these shoots, I feel that I have gradually grasped some doorways."

Zheng Weijie will send the content he shoots back to the company in the past six months, Xu Rui has seen every one, at the beginning, Zheng Weijie was still in the same way of shooting movies and TV series, but with the increase in shooting, Zheng Weijie's use of lenses has gradually transformed into a documentary model, which is getting better and better.

"According to the current progress, all the filming work will be completed in October, and it will definitely be available next summer."

Zheng Weijie talked about some work again, and then said.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, when I was filming this time, I went to a place, and I thought it had a story."

He immediately showed Xu Rui the photos on his mobile phone.

Located in the province next door to Ningjiang in Songhai City, this place was once an industrial base a few decades ago, but with the collapse of large factories, it gradually declined, and now it is basically a small city on the way to decay.

Zheng Weijie happened to hear that there was a barbecue restaurant in Songhai City that was famous for selling roast chicken, so he took the team over and found that the barbecue restaurant had sparse business, just like the whole city in decline.

But the roast chicken tastes very good, even if Zheng Weijie has eaten so much barbecue in the past half a year, this roast chicken still leaves a deep impression on him, but according to Zheng Weijie's observation, if there are no new customers in this store, it is estimated that it will not last long.

In fact, Zheng Weijie has encountered many such shops along the way, some of which are unable to continue to operate due to the owner's health, some are due to the extinction of roadside stalls due to urban renovation, and some are like this roast chicken restaurant, which is the decline of the entire environment.

For example, in Ningjiang, except for some communities around the school that are not too strictly managed, it is difficult for people to eat barbecue from roadside stalls, and most of them are all kinds of barbecue meat that occupy the market, and the fun of skewers is rarely seen.

"I'll keep an eye on it then, you can go and rest for a while before you go to the airport."

Xu Rui looked at Zheng Weijie's photos and thought thoughtfully.
