The Creator of the Second Dimension

The three of them came to an old-fashioned barbecue restaurant in Ningjiang, which uses charcoal grilling and high-grade beef. It is a portion of beef, taken from different parts of the cow.

Wu Yi sat opposite the two, looked at the young couple, and said with emotion.

"A few years ago, I had a chat with someone. I didn't know who the famous gothic lolita in the industry would end up with. I didn't expect the two of you to be secretly married."

Wu Yi didn't know about Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian's marriage before, until he saw the two together at the booth and was introduced by Xu Rui.

"Yi Qianqian is the dream lover of many animators, haha, if this news gets out, Xu Rui, you will probably be crucified again."

He was speechless, took a sip of beer and said.

"Anyway, I'm not bad at this one."

The waiter put a few slices of beef on the iron grid, and the heat quickly formed a white film on the surface of the beef, which can lock the gravy inside the beef tightly, making the outside charred and the inside tender.

He quickly divided several slices of meat into their respective plates, Xu Rui picked them up with chopsticks and put them into his mouth.

The beef is very good, and the grilling technique is also very skillful. The beef tastes tender and delicious, and it is memorable.

"Look at you, the company under him is growing, the animation is well-received and popular, and you have such a good wife. This is a real winner in life."

With a sigh of emotion, Wu Yi ate the meat.

"Mmm, it's delicious."

He was as happy as a child.

The three of them chatted for a while, maybe after drinking some wine, Wu Yi finally started talking about himself.

The reason Xu Rui guessed correctly was that it was related to the theatrical animation film he was making.

Specifically, Wu Yi already had his own plan, but the bosses of Rainbow Media didn’t think it would work, especially the boss in charge of products. They have taken the initiative in the company since the popularity of Tomato Video Network began to decline. .

These products talk about product thinking every day, and go deep into the operation of all aspects of Tomato Video Network, from video websites, to animation production, and game production.

For example, Wuyi's new animation, they feel that although the imaginative imagination is good, it is not grounded enough. The products want to be as close to people's life as Xu Rui's "Classical Literature Society Series".

The product also feels that the plot of juvenile adventures such as martial arts is outdated. Now the most consuming power is women. Animation needs to meet the needs of women. It is best to add some emotional lines. Together, the more chaotic the better, and not only must there be men and women, but also men and women must not be left behind. Women like this kind of plot that is really chaotic in your circle.

The point is, Wu Yi and the animation production team have no way to fight against the product. After all, they are holding the orders of the big boss, and no one dares not to obey.

In the past, the editors on the video website made comments because they felt that the product did not understand videos at all. As a result, they were rectified by the product, and several old editors resigned.

Moreover, the product is best at making PPT. No matter how miserable the current situation is, as long as the PPT of the product is made, you can only see the rise, not the fall at all. For example, the video website has been getting new users for free recently. This kind of paid series is also free for tourists to watch for a limited time. Although the traffic was once increased, the payment rate of users plummeted. However, in the PPT, the website is still growing gratifyingly.

Hearing Wu Yi's complaint, Xu Rui could only shake his head helplessly, and ate the beef tongue on the plate.

"I thought Tomato Video would not do this kind of thing that laymen interfere with experts."

His words made Wu Yi shake his head.

"Speaking of which, this is also caused by your Chuyin video network. The traffic of the Chuyin video network continues to rise, and the development of various aspects is more dynamic than the Tomato video network. This makes the bosses feel a sense of crisis, but they are not themselves. Those with a background in this field can only believe in products that are hyped up, after all, they have experienced many Internet companies and have rich product experience.”

Probably because of drinking a lot of wine, or maybe because of being suppressed for too long, Wu Yi became talkative.

"But in fact, these products don't understand animation production at all, and many people have never even watched animation. During the previous meeting, someone mentioned the works of director Li Xiuming, and they even asked Li Xiuming who is the employee of the company. It's ridiculous that he came to the conference room."

Yi Qianqian remained silent, but she also knew very well that when an Internet company grows bigger, similar problems will inevitably arise. Products and operations that do not understand the content rely on numbers to understand the market, but they do not trust colleagues who understand the content , When I was in Mogu Yinghua, there were similar things, but Mogu Yinghua is still an animation-based company after all, and the people in charge are all knowledgeable, so there is no similar situation.

But Tomato Video Network is different. It is a listed company. The boss did not start out as a video maker. He just followed the trend and invested in the video industry. He recruited a group of people who are interested in this. For example, Liu Xueyan and Wu Tong are such old employees of the company.

In the eyes of these veteran employees, content is king for video sites and animation companies, and the company should focus on improving content rather than fancy marketing.

However, new products born in the Internet era pay more attention to operation and the so-called user experience, but ignore the most essential content. The fact is that old editors like Liu Xueyan grew up with Tomato Video Network, which has great influence on the website and the industry. Deep emotions, but these products are not like this. What they are best at is job hopping. They don’t care about the life and death of a company or an industry. Anyway, they go bankrupt and go to the next one.

After dinner was almost finished, after Wu Yi talked about the predicament he encountered recently, he also eased the depression in his heart a little.

At this moment, Xu Rui suddenly spoke.

"In that case, Wu Yi, have you ever thought about changing to another company?"

His words made Wu Yi, who was drinking, stop the cup in his hand, and looked at Xu Rui with wide eyes.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

If it's someone else, it's obvious what Xu Rui said to Wu Yi. He is inviting Wu Yi to jump to Fantastic Animation.

This is quite controversial, because Xu Rui himself is an excellent director. In the eyes of Wu Yi, he is not inferior to himself. Rui got the power in his hands, but ordinary bosses would not do this.

This is equivalent to airborne a director who is about the same level as Xu Rui. Not only was it difficult for the staff of Magic Electric to convince Wu Yi, it was also difficult for Wu Yi to rebuild his own team from scratch. So much budget for two parallel production groups.

As for the rich ones like Rainbow Media and Tomato Production, they all follow the group system, and each director must have his own exclusive production team, so as not to cause conflicts. what?

"Of course I know, and I know what you're thinking about."

Xu Rui saw Wu Yi's thoughts and explained.

"Actually, I have always felt that the scale of the fantasy animation is not small. I am looking for a second production team. I hope you can think about it. As for the funding issue, you don't have to worry about it."

There are not many things in Fantastic Animation, only the most money!
