What don't you know
Can’t stand it anymore
It has to be said that although these two keywords are vague, they have successfully aroused the curiosity of the general public who love to eat melons. In addition, it is in the most prominent position on Weibo's hot searches. Therefore, at this moment, any netizens who happen to open Weibo or are browsing Weibo will almost immediately click on it -
A text v: From the Yunsu incident half a month ago to the Huaying incident now. Actually, I have a lot to say, but I always feel that it is too sentimental. We are all adults, and it is embarrassing to play this kind of emotional card. Things have come to this point, and there is no point in me saying anything more. So, I will just post an internal email, you can read it for yourself.

Ji Mengsi knew this p-host.
She was originally a star-chasing girl. Influenced by the work "Cardcaptor Sakura" by Huaying, she got into the two-dimensional world and also got to know some well-known anime p-masters. The p-master who suddenly spoke in front of her was a well-known painting master in the anime fan circle.
If she remembered correctly, this big boss's favorite animation company happened to be Huaying.
Judging from the tone, could the content of this long Weibo post be related to Huaying
Thinking of this, Ji Mengsi couldn't help but pause. Ji Mengsi actually had a good impression of the company that brought him into the house, but this time...
As she sighed in her heart, her eyes gradually slid down to the picture below. Before she could take a closer look, the title located in the center of the top of the picture instantly attracted her attention—
#A letter to all employees
When you see this email, you must have learned that "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" will be besieged by several film and television companies on Blue Star during the Lunar New Year holiday next year.
Things have come to this point, and I have no intention of hiding it from you any longer - just as you have guessed, Huaying is now at a critical moment of life and death. Once "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" dies in the siege and the cost cannot be recovered, Huaying will inevitably face its demise with a broken capital chain.
Some people may ask: Don’t we have other options? Why do we reject Yunsu’s cooperation
Yes, why should we reject Yunsu’s cooperation
If Huaying is a capital group that exists purely for profit, then we certainly don't mind such an easy way of making money - but I still remember the time when Huaying was first founded a few years ago, when it was just a fledgling small company.
At that time, we had nothing but our passion for animation. At that time, we had just become famous in the Blue Star Animation Circle for the controversial "is". At that time, as soon as our first work came out, countless companies followed suit.
That is, when everyone thought that we would continue to produce works like "IS" with stupid plots, clichés but refreshing, we chose "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba".
I still remember clearly the time when Demon Slayer was very popular. My friends from the animation company complained to us in private that I was a terrible person. They said that I had led most of the industry into a ditch with a cheesy animation that only had sales and nothing else. But they turned around and made excellent animations like Demon Slayer, which invisibly raised the audience's aesthetic taste. Now, if they want to make money from animation, they have to work hard on the quality of animation.
That is the highest compliment I have ever heard.
I have always believed that a true industry benchmark lies not only in the quality of its works and revenue levels, but also in its promotion and leadership in the development of the entire industry itself.
Why reject Yunsu’s cooperation
Teacher Tan Qingyi once said that if one wants to change the current situation in the animation industry, one must have sufficient financial resources to spend money without asking for anything in return and use truly excellent works to pave the way for the entire industry.
Maybe even we can't do this. Maybe tomorrow we will declare bankruptcy due to a broken capital chain and be broken down by the capital that is eyeing us - but at least, I don't want Huaying to be the last straw that leads to the downfall of this industry, and I am willing to pay any price for my choice.
Even if there are tens of thousands of people against me, I will go ahead and would rather die a hundred times than regret it.
On February 10, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" will be released globally in major theaters on Blue Star, and it will also be accompanied by a crackdown from major film and television companies.
Maybe we can get through this difficult time, maybe not. But the worst outcome is to start all over again. But I believe that if I can build one Huaying in a few years, I can build the second and third. As for the employees who have chosen or are about to leave because of this, thank you for every storyboard you have drawn for Huaying Animation, every effort you have made, and thank you for accompanying Huaying from "IS" to "Detective Conan".
No matter what choice you make, I wish you a bright future and get what you want.
Pleiades
December 28
Ji Mengsi blinked blankly, unable to react for a moment.
Didn’t they say a few days ago that Huaying snatched the animation subsidies of small companies, causing another animation producer to give up his dream and switch to other industries to make a living? Then what does the cooperation invitation from Yunsu and the encirclement of other companies written in this so-called internal email mean
She subconsciously dragged the mouse and looked down.
From the time she clicked on the screenshot of the email to the time she finished reading it, less than five minutes had passed. But within this short period of time, the comment section under the Weibo post had already exploded!
"??? An internal email from Huaying??? Is this true or false?"
"Is this the end of Huaying's PR department? To be honest, it's a little too late to come out and play the victim and whitewash the situation. Now that things are almost settled, what's the point of you talking about this now?"
"Well, let me say something to the fan of Huaying who is hated by everyone. Although we don't know whether this email is true or not, to be honest, this email is well written. It is obvious that it is not the work of Huaying's public relations department. If Huaying's public relations department is really that capable, would we have been so worried about Huaying in the past?"
Netizens had mixed reactions to this so-called internal email that suddenly appeared.
For those fans who had already supported Huaying before, they almost immediately believed the statements in this answer. After learning that the images of Mu Suxing and Huaying had not collapsed, they felt relieved, but at the same time, they were nervous again. They were not interested in confronting Huaying and went to find channels to verify the facts.
Neutral netizens were half-believing and half-doubting. Most people usually have preconceived attitudes towards the things they come into contact with. With the irrefutable "evidence" of Huaying in front of them, it is not easy for them to change their minds immediately and believe Huaying.
As for the last one -
Just when Huaying's haters and Pipi's online army were mocking this Weibo post, half an hour later, another well-known celebrity with some connections in the film and television industry suddenly reposted this Weibo post and left a message "."
What's the meaning
As everyone was at a loss, they refreshed the Weibo homepage of this big V. At this moment, a brand new Weibo popped up -
Honey Orange Peel Tea v: I just checked with friends in the circle, and both are true.
No names were mentioned, but considering his previous forwarded Weibo post, the meaning is unknown - in other words, the so-called internal email is real, and the fact that "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is about to be sieged is also true.
No one doubted the truth of this statement.
The reason is simple: as long as you know a little about this big V named "Honey Orange Peel Tea", you will know that she is actually the daughter of a famous Blue Star consortium. With her connections, it is not difficult for her to find out whether this matter is true.
Given her status, she would not and would not bother to deceive netizens about such matters.
Not just honey orange peel tea.
In the next half hour, several rich second-generations who were eager to watch the fun jumped out and gave affirmative answers to the questions that netizens were concerned about. Some of them were fans of Huaying, and while they were defending Huaying, they also cursed Yunsu on Weibo!
Honey Orange Peel Tea lived up to her temper. After posting her last Weibo post, she wrote another long Weibo post, blasting everyone without hesitation:
"I've been a fan of Huaying for two years now, but I never mentioned it, mainly because I felt embarrassed to still watch anime at my age. Plus, I've seen this kind of tactics a lot, and I thought that with Huaying and Muxuxing's abilities, nothing would happen, so I kept quiet. But I never thought that this generation of netizens could be so stupid!
Some people say that even if the content of the email is true, how to explain the subsidies and fame-seeking issues? Well, let me explain to some idiots what is going on.
Let’s talk about subsidies first.
To be honest, I actually never really understood how those highly-rated answerers on the forum were able to explain the definition of the subsidy so clearly while at the same time acting as if they were righteously stealing other people's subsidies and leading the trend.
The original words of Gaozan boss were "the animation works produced by the company must pass the review and be broadcast on TV." I wondered if this meant that Huaying's works broadcast on TV also met the conditions for receiving subsidies? Huaying got the subsidies based on its strength, so how can you say that it is bullying a small company
Or do you mean that you are weak and therefore you are right, and Huaying has money so it must give the subsidy to you? I am quite rich, do you think I would share my money with a fool like you
Let’s talk about running a school.
Some people may say that Huaying deserves the impact on its school funding chain, because Muxuxing is just trying to gain fame? To be honest, I think this argument is ridiculous. Regardless of whether Muxuxing is really trying to gain fame, do you know how much money it costs to run a school and how many years it will lose money in the early stages
Even if he really was seeking fame and reputation, he did use the money to do good things for the industry, right
Sometimes I think it's really funny. When someone who has never done anything good does something good, the public can't wait to praise him to the sky. On the contrary, those who are cautious and stick to their hearts will be directly thrown into the ground if they make a mistake. Those who really seek fame and reputation and do nothing practical are regarded as good people by everyone. Those who seek fame and reputation but actually make profits for the entire industry are criticized by thousands of people.
Those who say that Huaying is snatching subsidies from small companies and leaving no way for independent animation producers, do you know how many animation producers Huaying has invested in and helped over the past few years
By now you all should all know that Huaying rejected the contract with Yunsu, but do you know that if Huaying had accepted that contract, she would have become the top name in the Blue Star animation circle and achieved a monopoly with Yunsu, becoming a true duopoly
Do you know how many animation companies chose to give in and accepted Yunsu’s terms during that period
Why did Muxuxing refuse Yunsu's cooperation even at the risk of Huaying's funding chain being broken and the hard work he had put in over the past few years going to waste? Don't you understand?"
Ji Mengsi's heart stagnated. Thinking of all the injustices that Huaying had suffered during this period of time, he felt a little dry in his throat and felt indescribable regret and discomfort in his heart.
So that's how it is.
It turns out to be like this…
What on earth did they do during this time
