No wonder Du Yutang is so angry.
Huaying had already negotiated with Baiyun Culture, and the only step left was to sign the contract to obtain the animation copyright of "Night Watchmen". However, at the last moment, Qianli Animation intervened and snatched the copyright away. In the end, not only did they end up with nothing, but they also had to suffer a loss in silence. How could they not be angry
As Du Yutang thought about it, he became more and more annoyed. He couldn't help but ask, "What does Baiyun Culture mean by this? They clearly agreed to all the terms and conditions in the contract, but they changed their mind at the last minute. Is this how they do business?"
Mu Suxing didn't respond.
He closed the magazine on the table, smoothed the slightly tilted pages with his fingertips, and put them into the neatly arranged bookshelf on the side. After doing all this, he sat back on the soft black sofa chair, his ten fingers naturally crossed in front of him, and his eyes looking at the assistant were calm.
Du Yutang was slightly startled. He was no longer a rookie assistant. He immediately responded, "Sorry, Director Mu, I am being rude."
"Go do your thing."
Seeing that Mu Suxing didn't care about it, Du Yutang was relieved. It was strange that Mu Suxing was two years younger than him, but in terms of mental stability, he often felt that he was not as good as his boss.
Maybe this is why he is the boss and I am just an assistant.
As Du Yutang quietly retreated, the huge office instantly became quiet. Mu Suxing supported his forehead with one hand, his eyes unconsciously cast towards the cleaned desk. A hint of annoyance finally flashed in his calm eyes.
Is Muxuxing angry
Of course he was angry.
On the surface, he is just a director of Huaying, but in everyone's heart, he is the real boss of Huaying. Anyone can lose their composure, get angry, or even curse at such news, but Mu Xuxing is the only one who can't do that.
If the backbone of the company cannot remain calm and overreacts, what will the employees below think
What's more, this matter was not serious enough for him to get angry.
"What on earth does Yunsu mean by this? Are you planning to turn against us after the acquisition failed?"
In the small meeting room that could only accommodate a few people, Wen Feihang rubbed his forehead with a headache and said unhappily, "There is also Baiyun Culture. I have heard before that in order to gain profits from comics, they will force authors who are about to finish their comics to continue serializing until their popularity is exhausted. I didn't expect that they would be so shameless in doing business. They are really shameless and unrivaled in the world."
Fang Lian groaned and said, "It shouldn't be that serious..."
Cui Hongyi was puzzled: "It's already this far and it's still not considered a falling out? It's obvious that they are going to cause trouble for us, right?"
"Given the overall size and style of the Yunsu Group, this really can't be considered a falling out," Mu Suxing shook his head and said calmly, "For them, this matter can only be regarded as an ordinary industry competition at best."
After all, Yunsu never took Huaying seriously from the very beginning, not only because the two belonged to two completely different industries, but also because of the gap in strength between the two sides - as an Internet company ranked among the top three in the entire Blue Star, Yunsu has such confidence and strength.
Although it is helpless, it is undeniable that Huaying is not even qualified to be Yunsu's opponent now.
And Qianli Animation... No, it should be renamed Yunsu Animation now.
It was Yunsu Animation that snatched the copyright of the animation "Night Watch" from Huaying, and it was also Yunsu Animation that had a competitive relationship with Huaying. From the beginning to the end, Huaying was not among the competitors of Yunsu Group. Even such a brief confrontation about "Night Watch" was just an ordinary resource competition between two animation companies.
If Yun Su really wanted to target Huaying and turn against her, things would not be as simple as they are now.
Wen Feihang was a little unwilling: "Then what should we do? We can't just let it go like this, right?"
"For now, let's solve the problem of public opinion first," Mu Xingxue said, pushing the animation information magazine that contained Huaying's secret to success in front of several people.
"This is easy," Dai Yuyan said, "Just release some fake news, or let Director Mu pretend to be interested in this comic today, and tomorrow Director Mu thinks that comic will be popular. In this way, we can deceive some ungrateful companies a few times, and I don't believe that anyone will dare to compete with us for the animation copyright."
"Leave Baiyun Culture to me," Cui Hongyi said, "I happen to have a few friends in the media. Although there's nothing we can do about them, we can't just let this matter go. By the way, let everyone see the business side of Baiyun Culture." At the end, his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of annoyance.
Mu Xingxue neither nodded nor shook his head. He glanced at Mu Suxing and saw that he didn't react. Then he nodded and said, "Let's do it this way. We'll discuss the specific arrangements in detail at the company meeting this afternoon. Is that ok?"
The brief internal meeting ended here. Everyone talked about "Yunsu Animation" and no one mentioned the word "Yunsu Group" again - and it was impossible to mention it.
After the meeting, Mu Suxing put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door and locked himself in the office, isolating himself from the whispers outside and the worried gazes of Fang Lian and others.
In the office, Mu Suxing sat in his most familiar position, looking at the desk in front of him with attention. On the tidy desk was spread a piece of white paper with a few illegible words scribbled on it in pencil. Next to the rough paper was an equally tidy laptop, and the lit computer screen showed the latest situation of Yunsu Group.
Of course, Muxuxing has not fallen into decadence as many people misunderstand.
He is looking for something.
Something that he could no longer remember clearly, but he had a hunch that it would be useful. Fortunately—
Shifting his gaze from the draft paper to the lit computer screen, Mu Suxing curled the corners of his mouth, finally revealing his first smile in these days.
He found it.
—
"How long has Director Mu locked himself up like this?"
"Du Zhu was notified this morning, so it's been at least six hours, right?"
"Although, there is nothing we can do about it. Our opponent is the Yunsu Group. The two sides are not even on the same level. Even if we want to vent our anger, we can't do anything, right?"
"I feel sorry for the boss. He did a good job in animation, but he had to deal with a psychopath like Yunsu. Oh, let alone the boss. I still feel angry when I think about it now. Yunsu is such a fucking idiot..."
In the hall, several Huaying employees were talking in low voices. Suddenly, the long-silent office door opened, and the protagonist of the topic who had disappeared for six hours appeared in front of everyone. The few people who were still talking were silent for a moment. Before they could take the initiative to admit their mistakes, Mu Suxing gave a straightforward and concise order: "Go and inform them that the evening temporary meeting will be moved forward. I want to see all department managers in the meeting room within ten minutes."
I have to say that Huaying's overall efficiency is still very high. Just as Mu Suxing gave the order, within less than five minutes, all the senior staff of Huaying who received the notice appeared in the conference room in an orderly manner. When Mu Suxing came in with the freshly printed documents, the huge conference room was already full.
There was no greeting, nor any meaningless opening remarks. Mu Xuxing didn't even sit down. He just stood in the middle of the long table.
He casually threw the information onto the corner of the table that belonged to him. Du Yutang on the side picked it up with great discernment and distributed it to every member in the conference room one by one. Mu Xingxue had just turned the first page of the information when he heard Mu Suxing calmly say, "Put some time on hold on the planning of the second season of Cardcaptor Sakura. We'll give priority to Puella Magi Madoka Magica."
Huh
Wen Feihang widened his eyes in surprise, his expression confused for a moment. Cui Hongyi, who reacted faster, had an idea and quickly opened the information in his hand.
At the same time, Muxuxing continued: "According to my investigation, Yunsu Entertainment will launch a female-oriented dress-up mobile game at the beginning of next year. In order to ensure that the in-game clothing is attractive enough to players, Yunsu has reached a cooperation with a well-known clothing design company on Blue Star. If all goes well, the same clothing as in the game will be sold three months after the game is launched."
"It is worth mentioning that Yunsu Group intends to try full entertainment for the first time in this game release - they will produce a magical girl-themed web animation based on the background and character design of the game before the game is launched, which is the end of this year."
When he talked about the first half, everyone present was still a little confused, until he mentioned the animation, the few people who had already got the script of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" suddenly realized it, and then showed a strange expression.
"Director Mu means that we should advance the release date of Madoka Magica so that it can coincide with Yunsu Animation's release date?" Dai Yuyan hesitated. "Wouldn't that be a bit unfriendly to other animation companies?"
According to past practice, whenever a certain animation theme becomes popular, a large number of people in the industry will follow suit. For example, the first season of "Cardcaptor Sakura" came to a successful conclusion not long ago. As far as Dai Yuyan knows, many animation companies immediately made animation projects on the theme of magical girls. From production to broadcast, the time is probably around the same as Yunsu Animation's game-linked animation.
Mu Xiuxing understood what she meant.
In the animation industry, following the trend is actually a very common thing. For many small and medium-sized animation companies, this is also a compromise they have to make in order to survive. Moreover, following the trend does not mean plagiarism. If Huaying released "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" at the time when other animation companies' magical girl themes were launched...
Apart from anything else, I’m afraid that most of the industry will be offended by Huaying.
"So, we have to announce the launch time of the new animation in advance." said Mu Suxing.
"That's right. If we take the initiative to announce the animation schedule, there should be animation companies that postpone their schedules to avoid clashing with us," Fang Lian quickly understood what he meant. "But if we announce the schedule, won't Yunsu know about it too?"
"Yunsu won't reschedule," Mu Xingxue came to his senses now. He shook his head at Fang Lian's hesitation and said with a smile, "How could a company as arrogant as Yunsu reschedule for a Huaying animation? Even if Yunsu Animation wants to reschedule, Yunsu Entertainment's games won't wait for anyone."
For Yunsu Entertainment, games are their main source of income. Animation? It's just an ordinary part of the whole entertainment.
Cui Hongyi: "I agree. Let animation handle the animation issues."
"I agree."
…
The whole meeting started quickly and ended quickly, and soon everyone in the meeting room returned to their respective posts with their new tasks.
Makusuko looked at the storyboard of the first episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" that he had already drawn on the table, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's a tit-for-tat thing. Since the Yunsu Group is determined to disgust him, Huaying should of course prepare a big gift for Yunsu in return.
If it was an animation of other themes, it might not be affected so much, but if Yunsu chose the most popular themes and routines as they did in the past, using magical girls as the background setting of the new game, and using the animation of the same name as the first wave of publicity...
Muxiuxing recalled the plot of Madoka Magica—
Well, let me wish Yunsu good luck in advance.
