Xu Rui returned to work in early August.

On the one hand, Yi Qianqian has almost recovered. Her father was very happy to have a granddaughter. With a big wave of his hand, he bought a four-story single-family villa for Yi Qianqian in the most expensive Jiangjing villa area in Ningjiang. , And came to visit her little granddaughter in person, Yi Qianqian is now being taken care of by her family, 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 needs to control the overall situation.

Returning to the familiar seat, Xu Rui sighed.

"Boss, the animation painting meeting is in the first meeting room at ten o'clock. This time we should determine some of the final questions, and then officially start the original painting."

"The meeting on the third round of the temple puzzle screening of "Breath of the Wild" was at 1 pm, and it was mainly a discussion of the more controversial twenty-level design."

"This year's annual animation nominated "Music Girl", and three magazines sent interview drafts. By the way, Ningjiang TV station wanted to do a forward-looking interview."

"The overall plan for the booth layout of this year's Ningjiang Man Exhibition needs to be confirmed by Mr. Xu from your side."

"The Last of Us was nominated for the game of the year, and the media are still very concerned about the new work Hatsune Games is developing."

All kinds of things followed, Xu Rui was busy almost all day, all kinds of large and small meetings continued one after another, he suddenly felt like he would simply change the place of work to the conference room.

Xu Rui didn't return home until after eleven o'clock in the evening.

Yi Qianqian is still in the villa in the city. During this time, it is estimated that she will stay there with her father and mother. Xu Rui looks at the slightly cold home, but she doesn't feel lonely.

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

Xu Rui discovered that during this period of time, other websites were not idle.

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

This is different from the animation popular vote, the name is called "Animation Art Award", which aims to judge the artistry of animation.

This has to make people think of the annual animation selection in mid-August. Tomato Video Network is launching an animation art award at this time. What does it want to do?

Xu Rui sat up and clicked on the page of this animation art award to take a look.

The awards are divided into the best serial animation, the best male character, the best female character, the best plot, the best production, the best animated film, the best single episode, the best opening and closing song, etc., to be honest Xu Rui felt a little strange.

The best serial animation can barely make sense, and the best male and female characters are really confusing.

What kind of character can be considered the best? Is it based on popularity or the expressiveness of the character. If it is the former, then it is essentially a popular selection. If it is the latter, is it better to have a full image outlined in a few strokes? Is the protagonist portrayed better in thick ink?

In the annual animation selection, there is no such thing as the best role. Only the best voice actor judges the acting skills of the voice actors behind the scenes. Xu Rui should say that there will be only the best actor and best actress in the film and television works. , But in essence it is also an affirmation of the actors' acting skills.

Regardless of the role, the best plot and the best production are also slightly weird. The judgment of the plot is very subjective, personal tastes vary, and there is no recognized standard in the industry. The best production can barely be judged from the technical point of view, but The production itself is influenced by many aspects, such as painting, storyboarding, rhythm, dubbing, and even background music. The combination of these is the overall production. I don't know how Tomato Video Network is going to evaluate it.

The best animated film, the best single episode, this is almost the same as 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 song, there is nothing to discuss.

In general, Xu Rui thought that this is probably an attempt by Tomato Video Network to have the right 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 animation. In fact, Not to mention phantom animation, even the old rivals Mushroom Movie and Craft Animation may not be able to play.

If everything develops as expected by Tomato Video Network, then the works of this award will have a wide impact on animation audiences, and some of them will inevitably be animations made by Tomato Video Network. If this goes on year by year, this award may become The industry awards are comparable to the annual animation selection. The only difference is that the controller behind it is Tomato Video Network.

Of course, Xu Rui thinks this is completely whimsical.

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

But in the A2 forum, discussions about the Tomato Video Network Animation Art Award are in full swing.

[Egg Fried Rice without Egg]: What does Tomato Video Network want to do, abandon the annual animation selection and play by yourself?

[Black Dragon Brother]: Does he match it? Let's not talk about the garbage animations that Tomato Video has made in recent years. The setting of those awards feels like an amateur.

[Death Strike]: I think he might as well follow the example of Hatsune Video.com for personal voting. He wants 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 went, I thought it was the same industry leaders as the annual animation selection to be the judges, why this list is all about the big V, video producers, Weibo and self-media, also Too amateur.

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

It can be seen that, such as [Menmenmen] [Erlang] [Political Commissar] [Blue Vision] [Remy Remi] and so on, the big V in the animation zone is listed, and there are also Tomato Video Networks such as Anime Soul. The animation information agency, there are also some authors who do animation commentary and make animation clip videos.

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

Such a lineup of judges ~lightnovelpub.net~ does seem to give people a sense of joking. You must know that even the annual game selection, which is often referred to as the "Pheasant Award", is at least a combination of multiple media. The Animation Art Award of Tomato Video Network looks like an amateur.

Among them, in addition to industry insiders such as directors and original paintings, the most convincing person should be Animation Soul. This animation information agency has taken a high-end path since its establishment. Soul has already begun to analyze the original paintings and think about the sub-mirror. Each manuscript is like an animated essay, full of eloquent explanations, which are all professional explanations that the general audience can't understand.

Animation Soul was acquired by Tomato Video Network five years ago and became a subsidiary of Tomato Video Network. However, in most cases, Tomato Video Network does not interfere with the creation of Animation Soul. Animation Soul has repeatedly praised Phantom Animation’s works and it has not caused Tomato Video Network’s work. Suppress, in general, Tomato Video Network's stocking strategy for the information agency of Animation Soul.

However, when everyone was discussing whether the judges of the Animation Art Awards are eligible, the person in charge of Animation Soul, [Niubi Ham] posted a Weibo.

"With regard to all matters concerning the judges of the Tomato Video Network Animation Art Awards, Animation Soul said that they have no knowledge of it and will not participate in the judging work.
