Xu Rui returned to work in early August.

On the one hand, Yi Qianqian has almost recovered, her father is very happy about the harvest of a granddaughter, and with a wave of his hand, he bought a four-story single-family villa in the most expensive riverview villa area in Ningjiang for Yi Qianqian, and personally came to visit the little granddaughter, Yi Qianqian is now handed over to his mother's family to take care of, Xu Rui can free up time to deal with the company's affairs.

On the other hand, whether it is "Your Name" or "Breath of the Wild", Xu Rui is needed to control the overall situation.

Returning to the familiar seat, Xu Rui was quite emotional.

"Boss, the animation drawing meeting is at ten o'clock in the first conference room, we should determine the last questions this time, and then we will officially start the original painting."

"The meeting on Breath of the Wild's third round of temple puzzle screening was at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was mostly a discussion of the more controversial twenty level designs."

"This year's animation of the year was nominated for "Music Girl", and three magazines sent interview drafts, and by the way, Ningjiang TV wanted to do a preview interview."

"Regarding the overall plan of the booth layout of this year's Ningjiang Comic Con, you still need to confirm it from Mr. Xu."

"The Last of Us was nominated for Game of the Year, and the press is still interested in the new titles that Hatsune Games is working on."

All kinds of things followed, Xu Rui was almost busy all day, all kinds of large and small meetings one after another, and he suddenly had the feeling that he had simply changed his work place to the conference room.

It wasn't until after eleven o'clock in the evening that Xu Rui returned home.

Yi Qianqian is still in the villa in the city, and it is estimated that she will accompany her father and mother to live there during this time, Xu Rui looks at the slightly cold home, but there is no feeling of loneliness.

He took a shower, lay on the bed, and swiped his phone casually.

Xu Rui found out that during this time, other websites were not idle.

For example, Tomato Video Network issued an announcement on August 1 that an animation selection will be conducted on the website.

This is different from the animation popularity vote, and the name is "Animation Art Award", which aims to select the artistry of animation.

This has to make people think of the annual animation selection in mid-August, what does Tomato Video Network want to do at this time to hold an animation art award?

Xu Rui sat up and clicked into the page of the Animation Art Award to take a look.

The selection of the award is divided into several awards such as Best Serialized Animation, Best Male Character, Best Female Character, Best Story, Best Production, Best Animated Film, Best Single Episode, Best Opening and Ending Song, to be honest, Xu Rui feels a little strange.

The best serialized animation is barely reasonable, and the best male and female characters are really confusing.

What kind of character can be regarded as the best, is it based on popularity or the expressiveness of the role, if it is the former, then it is essentially a popularity selection, if it is the latter, then is it better to have a full image outlined with a few strokes, or is it better to portray the protagonist with heavy ink?

In the annual animation selection, there is no so-called best role, only the best voice actor to judge the acting skills of the voice actors behind the scenes, to Xu Rui, there will be the best actor and best actress in film and television works, but in essence, it is also an affirmation of the actor's acting skills.

Characters aside, the best plot and the best production are also a little weird, the judgment of the plot is very subjective, personal tastes are different, and there is no recognized standard in the industry, the best production can barely be judged from the technique, but the production itself is affected in many ways, painting, storyboarding, rhythm, dubbing, and even background music, these are the overall production, I don't know how Tomato Video Network is going to evaluate.

Best Animated Film, Best Single Episode This is similar to the annual animation selection, but the best single episode of the annual animation selection refers to the best single episode painting, which is more directional.

As for the best opening and ending tracks, there's not much to discuss.

In general,Xu Rui thought,This is probably an attempt by Tomato Video Network to speak in the animation industry,After all, in the annual animation selection,Tomato Video Network, which has lost its martial arts, has almost no ability to compete with Phantom Electric Animation,In fact, let alone Phantom Electric Animation,Even the old rivals Mushroom Pictures and Love Craft Animation may not be able to beat。

If everything is as expected by Tomato Video Network, then the works of this award will have a wide impact on the animation audience, and some of them must be self-made animations of Tomato Video Network, so that year by year, this award may become an industry award on par with the annual animation selection, the difference is that the controller behind it is Tomato Video Network.

Of course, Xu Rui felt that this was completely whimsical.

He didn't pay attention to this anymore, it was already late, Xu Rui checked the alarm clock, put down the phone, and then fell asleep.

But on the A2 forum, the discussion about the Tomato Video Network Animation Art Award is in full swing.

[Egg fried rice without eggs]: What do you want to do on Tomato Video Network, abandon the annual animation selection and play by yourself?

[Big Brother Black Dragon]: Is he worthy, not to mention the garbage animation that Tomato Video has done in recent years, the setting of those awards feels like an amateur taste.

[Death Strike]: I think he might as well follow the Hatsune Video Network to conduct a popular vote, and he prefers to get an art award, I don't know who his judges are going to invite.

[Spicy Crayfish]: I saw the list of judges, it's so funny.

[Fried Scarecrow]: I'll go, I thought it was the same as the annual animation selection to find the industry boss to be the judge, why is this list full of big V, video producers, Weibo self-media, it's too amateurish.

In another post on the forum, there is a list of judges for the Tomato Video Network's Animation Art Awards.

It can be seen that such as [Menmenmen] [Erlang] [Political Commissar] [Azure Longing] [Remy Leimi] and other big V in the animation area are impressively listed, and there are also animation information agencies under Tomato Video Network such as Anime Soul, and there are also some authors who do animation commentary and make animation clip videos.

In addition, there are also industry insiders such as senior directors and original artists of Rainbow Media and Tomato Manufacturing, but they are only limited to the inside of Tomato Video Network.

Such a lineup of judges,It does seem to give people a joking feeling,You know,Even the annual game selection, which is often called the "Pheasant Award",At least it is a combination of multiple media,And Tomato Video Network's animation art award,It looks like an amateur。

Among them, in addition to the director and the original painting such industry insiders,The most convincing should be the animation soul,This animation information agency has been taking a high-end path since its inception,When others blow the feeling,When the plot is blown,The animation soul has begun to analyze the original painting,Thinking about the storyboard,Each manuscript is like an animation paper,Sprinkled,It's all a professional explanation that the general audience can't understand at all。

Anime Soul was acquired by Tomato Video Network five years ago,Become its subsidiary,But in most cases, Tomato Video Network does not interfere with the creation of Anime Soul,Anime Soul has praised the works of Phantom Animation many times and has not caused Tomato Video Network to suppress,In general,Tomato Video Network for the information agency of Anime Soul adopts a stocking strategy。

However, just when everyone was discussing whether the judges of the Animation Art Award were eligible, the person in charge of the anime soul, [T Ham], posted a Weibo.

"Regarding all matters related to the judges of the Tomato Video Network Animation Art Award, Anime Soul said that he did not know at all and would not participate in the judging work."
