Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Lin Li was also full of questions about this girl who suddenly appeared.

"Nagano Tetsu sent you to report to me? Report on what?"

Upon hearing Lin Li's question, the girl then spoke up.

"It's about the Japan Animation Industry Summit that will be held next month."

Her mention of it made Lin Li realize what she meant.

Yes.

A couple of days ago, I received a message from Japan's Spark Animation inviting Lin Li to attend an animation industry summit.

At first, Lin Li was not very willing to go.

He has a lot on his plate.

These industry summits sound like superficial things, and since they're not held in China, it's best to avoid them if possible.

Just as he was pondering what excuse he could use not to go.

Spark Japan suddenly announced that it had been invited to participate as an organizer at the Japan Animation Industry Summit.

Yes.

You heard right, they want Spark to be the host, not a guest.

That's ridiculous.

Lin Li initially thought it was all nonsense.

Ultimately, Xinghuo is still a Chinese company.

Besides, their main business isn't animation. Attending the summit isn't a problem, but what about the organizers?

What's happening here.

About this question.

This is how Nagano Tetsu, the person in charge of Spark Animation, reported it.

“I don’t know why, but last month, when I was having dinner and drinks with some animation company bosses, they suggested it at the dinner table. They even said that Xinghuo should be the one to take the lead, and everyone supported Xinghuo.”

"At the time I thought they were joking, but who knew they were really going to hold this summit."

After listening to Nagano Tetsu's report.

Lin Li must have a clear understanding of the cause and effect of the matter.

At the very least, there's no clue whatsoever.

What are you talking about?

Invite me over dinner?

You actually agreed?

What the hell? Lin Li cursed him out on the phone, telling him to sort things out properly.

"Find someone who can explain things clearly to report."

This must have happened yesterday.

So, this girl is the one Nagano Tetsu brought to report to?

Think of this.

Lin Li's brows were already furrowed.

He knew that Nagano Tetsuya was a technical talent, but this was just too much of a technical talent.

Who sends someone across borders to give a face-to-face report?

How could something that could have been resolved with a phone call or even a written report have turned out like this?

Think of this.

Lin Li then asked another question.

"You came by plane yesterday?"

Lin Li had expected to hear an answer that would raise his blood pressure.

Fortunately, Nagano Tetsuya was confused.

But his assistant, Shichimiya Aina, is not confused.

As the head of the operations department at Spark Animation, Shichimiya Aina is a genuine high achiever.

Graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts.

After graduating last year, I went directly to Spark Animation.

Because of her good looks, high education, efficiency, and ability to command respect, she was quickly promoted to head of operations at Spark Animation.

Of course, this is an internal position.

In other words, it was a decision made internally by Spark Animation Studio.

However, even internal positions.

This is a key creative position, under normal circumstances.

When a studio is setting up such a management position, it should at least conduct an internal review and carefully select candidates.

Spark Animation's scheduling is a counterexample.

Chapter 219 Changes in the Animation Market

Because strictly speaking...

Nagano Tetsuya and his group all have problems.

I don't know if it's because they're used to being poor or what.

Since the founding of Spark Animation, all of Spark Animation's senior executives have only done one thing.

Make animation, make high-quality animation.

This is to repay General Manager Lin's trust.

As for operations?

What are we operating? What kind of operations are we doing?

Everyone is a slacker, no one knows how to operate a business.

Originally, Spark Animation didn't really have anything to operate.

However, with the rapid development of Spark...

Spark Animation is becoming increasingly influential.

So, Shichimiya Aina just showed her talent for management and communication.

He was dragged out by Nagano Tetsuya as a shield.

At this time, Shichimiya Aina had only been with the company for a few months.

Shichimiya Aina took over the operation of Spark Animation in a daze.

To be honest, it's because this job was too easy.

So much so that Shichimiya Aina didn't even realize that she had become a "senior executive" of Spark.

Until the end of the year.

The year-end bonus she received seemed a bit too extravagant, so much so that after agonizing over it for two days, she finally took the initiative to explain it to the finance department of Xinghuo Japan.

"Um, is there a mistake with this year-end bonus? I received 500 million yen..."

The finance lady was also puzzled by this.

After checking around, they gave a positive reply.

"That's right. After your department's calculations, this is the amount of the main creative team's year-end bonus."

It was only then that Shichimiya Aina understood.

It seems I've inadvertently become a "big shot".

After carefully reading Spark's employee handbook, Shichimiya Aina confirmed that she had indeed become a senior manager at Spark.

Since then, the girl has worked even more diligently.

When she received Nagano Tetsu's request, she happened to be in China coordinating some matters with Bilibili.

So I chose to give a face-to-face report, thinking it would be more formal.

After all, she is in China.

If you report by phone

However, when it came time to actually meet Lin Li, Shichimiya Aina was a little timid.

The main reason is that she had little interaction with Lin Li before.

I didn't think it through when I agreed to the task.

Once she arrived at headquarters and entered her office, she realized that she was supposed to report directly to the head of the group.

The thought of this.

She initially didn't think it was anything serious.

Instantly, I felt my heart pounding uncontrollably, and my face turned bright red.

Lin Li learned that she had come to report in person because she happened to be on a business trip in China.

He also nodded.

"Hmm, that's alright. It seems Nagano Tetsuya isn't that stupid after all. Have a seat."

"Yes!"

She adjusted her skirt and sat down on the chair next to Lin Li.

She sat down.

It felt like everyone in the office was staring at me.

Then, the moment she looked up, they all scattered again.

Shichimiya Aina didn't quite understand why.

After all, she really didn't know that the chair she was sitting in was the one Su Shanshan usually sat in.

Lin Li didn't care much about these things.

Or rather, he felt that Su Shanshan probably wouldn't care.

He didn't really care much about things like the Japan Animation Industry Association.

It's work, after all.

“Tell me the details.”

Lin Li took the documents from Shichimiya Aina and glanced through them.

I still don't understand how this whole situation was connected.

Why are these animation companies pushing Spark to be the organizer?

"President Lin, the principle is actually not complicated."

"It's precisely because Xinghuo isn't a Japanese company that they wanted to bring us over as the organizer."

"In the past two years, since we joined the production committee, we have boosted the copyright revenue of the entire industry."

"The revenue of the animation production committee has increased significantly, but the revenue of the animation company has increased only slightly."

"These major animation companies probably want to use the technical analysis at the animation summit as a pretext to collaborate privately with us and some key manufacturers."

"However, they probably haven't reached an agreement with each other, so they want us to step in."

"We are the ones who pay the money, we don't compete with them for our livelihood, and we are currently the largest middlemen in China, so our interests do not conflict with theirs."
