Chapter 1106: Chapter 599: Bilibili Being Inconsistent? (Please Subscribe)

Bilibili headquarters building.

In the office of the animation department manager.

Su Jinyin, in charge of the animation division, was handling various matters as usual.

As Bilibili continued to grow, it was now receiving countless partnerships every year in animation and even film, with the main content being to use Bilibili as the premiere platform for other companies’ animation, animated series, and film works to be launched and broadcast.

This wasn’t much different from other domestic platforms like Penguin Video.

However, because Bilibili’s animation and "two-dimensional" user base was indeed quite large, it had a unique advantage in this respect.

"Xiao Li, tell the business department that the animated series we have scheduled for broadcast this year are nearly saturated and up to standard. Unless it’s an excellent work produced by a major company, we should try not to take on anymore understood?"

Su Jinyin told her assistant Xiao Li.

"Okay, President Su."

Xiao Li nodded quickly.

The number of animated works arranged by Bilibili this year had already increased significantly compared to last year.

Add any more, and it would be too many, leading to problems with scheduling and date arrangements for Bilibili’s respective sections.

Animated series are different from videos by Bilibili’s UPs, which are recommended to users based on big data.

Essentially, whatever users like to watch, the platform will recommend similar video content to them based on big data.

But for animated series, it’s different. Popular lists, recommended lists, and the like are arranged by the animation department.

Only after being recommended by Bilibili do these works get noticed by more Bilibili users.

"President Su, Manager Liu from the business department just said that Feiyue Animation Studio contacted them, suggesting they have an animated series that plans to launch on our Bilibili platform!"

Suddenly, after making a call to the business department, Xiao Li immediately reported this news to President Su.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyin immediately looked up.

After a moment, Su Jinyin asked, "Feiyue Animation Studio, is it the one that made the animated film ’Super Combat Team’?"

She wanted to make sure there was no confusion over a studio with a similar name.

After all, following last year’s success with the animated movie ’Super Combat Team’, many animation studios wanted to ride on the coattails of Feiyue Animation Studio’s fame—even going as far as adopting the same name, showing a total lack of originality.

"Yes, that’s the Feiyue Animation Studio affiliated with Mist City Arts and Science University, the one that produced ’Super Combat Team’ last year," Xiao Li confirmed with a nod.

"They’re finally releasing a new work?"

Su Jinyin said with surprise.

She herself was particularly fond of the movie ’Super Combat Team’, especially the robot Big White. Having heard that Principal Ding from Mist City Arts and Science University had an AI version of Big White, Su Jinyin couldn’t hide her envy.

"President Su, should we collaborate with Feiyue Animation Studio?"

Xiao Li asked again.

At this, Su Jinyin gave her assistant, Xiao Li, a stern look. Was this guy a blockhead? Feiyue Animation Studio was practically synonymous with top-notch domestic animation production, having established its reputation and box office success with ’Super Combat Team’.

A studio like that, unless they were a one-hit-wonder, why wouldn’t they cooperate?

Besides, the fact that they chose Bilibili to premiere their work might even be an honor for them!

"Have the business department give me the contact of the person in charge at Feiyue Animation Studio right away, I want to talk to them personally!"

Su Jinyin spoke with earnest resolve.

"Right away, President Su!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li immediately called the business department again.

...

Over at Mist City Arts and Science University.

After viewing the final cut of ’Love, Death & Robots’ and feeling very satisfied, Ding Yue asked Xu Jiuge and her team to contact Bilibili about airing the animated series ’Love, Death & Robots’ on their platform.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Soon after, Xu Jiuge called to say that Su Jinyin, the manager of Bilibili’s animation department, had personally contacted her to discuss a partnership.

Both sides expressed a willingness to cooperate.

However, regarding the specifics of the collaboration, Xu Jiuge hadn’t finalized anything with Su Jinyin from Bilibili, so she called Ding Yue to seek Principal Ding’s opinion.

"Here’s what we’ll do, Jiuge. Have that Su from Bilibili contact me directly, and I’ll discuss it with her," Ding Yue decided it was best to handle the matter personally.

After all, he had some free time on his hands.

He aimed to settle the release date for ’Love, Death & Robots’ as soon as possible and then wait for the broadcast results.

Going by the plans, ’Love, Death & Robots’ was a release that definitely had to happen this year; otherwise, it would make it seem as though Feiyue Animation Studio was nothing more than a flash in the pan after last year’s ’Super Combat Team’.

Since a strategic plan was already in place, all that was left was to execute it rigorously.

"Understood, Principal Ding."

Seeing that Principal Ding was prepared to personally discuss matters with Bilibili’s Su, Xu Jiuge hung up the phone, then called Bilibili’s President Su to explain the situation.
