This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 503 No need to wait for my return; after I leave, you are all mine.
At noon the next day, "The Adventures of Little Carp" was officially launched on K-site.

Some netizens quickly clicked on it.

The video begins with the opening theme song of "The Adventures of Little Carp".

The opening theme song is also sung by a female singer from Burning Studio.

As soon as the scenes from "The Adventures of Little Carp" appeared, the song quickly began to play.

"Big, big, little, little! Big, big, little, little!"

Red koi fish bubbles appeared.

"The art style is nice, and the production is very exquisite."

At that moment, a male voice began to sing.

"Little carp, what a spirited little thing! Jumping and leaping about, covered in mud!"

This song is the opening theme of the TV series "The Adventures of Little Carp".

On Earth, this song is sung by Han Lei, the same Han Lei who sang "Borrow Five Hundred Years from Heaven".

The lyricist of the song is Zhang Li, who also wrote a very famous song called "Me and My Motherland".

The composer is Xiao Bai, a name that may sound unfamiliar, but someone who can compose music for "The Adventures of Little Carp" is definitely not an ordinary person.

Xiao Bai also has a lot of other works, such as the opening theme song of "The Legend of Nezha" and the theme song of "Happy Planet".

In popular music, he also composed "Meet in 1998".

While viewers may not be able to pinpoint exactly what's so great about this opening theme, just by listening to it, they can tell that it's quite different from the opening themes of many other animations currently on the market.

"It has to be Director Lu; he'd be perfect for writing a song for animation."

As the opening credits end, the main feature begins.

The first episode is about Bubble getting into trouble.

The little carp darts through the seaweed, being chased by another big fish; the scene is just like a naughty child being scolded by an adult.

The whole process was also filled with many funny moments.

Bubble was reprimanded because he led everyone in playing the game of jumping over a small waterfall, which involved going against the current.

Later, Bubble's grandmother discovered that a group of children were jumping over the dragon gate, but instead of scolding them, she showed them how to do it.

Grandma skipped this when she was little.

Then, the villain, Toadsnake, also appears.

Bubble also discovered a strange plant called a spiky ball. As soon as the spiky ball was dropped on the ground, it started to multiply wildly. Bubble called Grandma, who dealt with the spiky balls and told Bubble the story of the real dragon.

But Bubble became obsessed with the real dragon and wanted to see it. Grandma said that the real dragon would appear when there was a great disaster.

At this moment, Bubble did something: he released the spiky ball that was sealed inside a bubble. The release of the spiky ball would bring disaster, and then the real dragon would be seen.

This time, the spiky balls landed on the ground and multiplied rapidly, spreading throughout the entire village.

Bubble went to the small waterfall again, naively believing that as long as he jumped over the waterfall and leaped over the Dragon Gate, he would be able to see the real dragon.

Viewers watched the first episode without even realizing it.

Some netizens with nothing better to do watched all six episodes in one go.

The first six episodes introduced the main characters Bubble, Two-Faced Turtle, Toad Snake, Little Meimei, and Aku.

The spiky ball crisis brought by Bubble was eliminated thanks to the villagers' efforts, but Bubble mistook the toad snake for a real dragon and brought it to the village.

The toad forced everyone to call him the Dragon King, but Bubble refused to bend, and the toad wanted to kill Bubble.

Fortunately, Grandma intervened in the end and rescued Bubble.

Bubble also received the main quest: to find the true dragon and rescue all the suffering aquatic creatures.

Meanwhile, the toad-skinned snake was also searching for a way to transform into a true dragon.

The main characters appear, the main conflict emerges, and Bubble embarks on an adventure. In the sixth episode, a giant turtle imprisoned by a toad appears.

On K-site, netizens' opinions are pretty much the same.

"The main storyline is clear, the plot is full of ups and downs, and the pacing is very well controlled. Even if it's not for children, it's fine to watch it to pass the time if you really have nothing else to watch."

"The art style is really good; Liaoyuan Studio has put a lot of effort into it."

"The design of the main characters is also quite interesting; they are not the stereotypical characters."

"This time, Director Lu wasn't lying; it really is an animation for children."

"I showed it to my nephew."

The animation is filled with the core themes of friendship, responsibility, courage, growth, and home.

In the following days, "The Adventures of Little Carp" began to be updated regularly.

Although there weren't many comments on the entire animation, the number of views was quite high.

Many netizens turned on the cartoon for their children to watch.

Meanwhile, Zhang He, the director of "Red Lion Boy," is still busy promoting the film.

After returning to the hotel that evening, a subordinate told him about "The Adventures of Little Carp".

Zhang glanced at the internet briefly and then ignored it.

Online, some news media also reported on "The Adventures of Little Carp" and gave it high praise.

But ultimately, this is still an anime aimed at children.

Their film "Red Lion Boy" targets the film market, focusing on a large young audience of children, teenagers, and youth.

Furthermore, based on current data, "The Adventures of Little Carp" poses no threat to them.

But Zhang He couldn't swallow this insult.

So, he gets beaten up while Lu Ran eats meat?

impossible!
The next day, some media outlets publicly criticized Lu Ran online. What had Lu Ran done before? He had indignantly criticized "Red Lion Boy" at the film's press conference.

Now these media outlets have turned their guns on him, saying that Lu Ran criticized "Red Lion Boy" for his own sake, in order to promote his animated film "The Adventures of Little Carp".

This is taking advantage of netizens' enthusiasm to seek personal gain.

This is a personal attack on Lu Ran that goes beyond the work itself.

Guided by these opinions, a group of people who already disliked Lu Ran also joined in.

However, Lu Ran had no time to pay attention to what was happening online at this time.

With five times the speed, his hand could create afterimages when drawing on the graphics tablet, and the limiting factor became the device's response speed.

"Fog Hill of Five Elements" was also quickly created under his guidance.

In addition to this, Lu Ran also needs to prepare for her performance at the K Station New Year's Eve Gala.

More than a week passed quickly.

In an ordinary family in a small town.

As soon as Xia Ming returned home, his daughter happily rushed into his arms.

"Daddy daddy!"

Xia Ming is a middle school politics and history teacher. He can teach both politics and history, and this is a common situation in some small towns.

Xia Ming smiled, patted his daughter's head, and hugged her, giving her a kiss.

Xia Ming, who knew his daughter well, knew that she wanted to watch cartoons.

These past few days, his daughter has been watching "The Adventures of Little Carp".

Xia Ming watched the first six episodes with his daughter. He was quite confident in Lu Ran's work, and after watching these six episodes, he was certain that there was no problem letting his daughter watch this animation.

It's important to know that some animated films on the market are poorly made, some with distorted values, and some with bad visuals, which negatively impact children's aesthetic appreciation.

As a teacher, he understands the impact a good animation can have on children.

The Adventures of Little Carp doesn't have these problems.

Xia Ming smiled and asked, "Have you finished eating? Have you finished your homework?"

The daughter beamed, "It's all done!"

"Okay, Dad will show you an animated film, The Adventures of Little Carp."

Xia Ming took out his tablet and opened K-site.

Today, episodes 23 and 24 of "The Adventures of Little Carp" were released.

Xia Ming happened to have nothing to do, so he watched it with his daughter, also to see how far the plot had progressed.

In episode 23, Bubble is caught by the toad snake and thrown into a water dungeon to be fed to a giant turtle that has been starving for thirty years.

In episode 24, the giant turtle originally wanted to eat Bubble, but Bubble's dragon scales emitted light, and the giant turtle recognized it.

This is one of the five dragon scales that the true dragon released before it died.

Aquatic creatures that can obtain dragon scales are those recognized by the true dragon.

The giant turtle wept: "The true dragon is dead. You can't find him anymore."

Bubble exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Giant Turtle's words, "You're talking nonsense! A true dragon is alive; a true dragon cannot die."

Xia Ming noticed that his daughter's expression was very serious, clearly indicating that she was already immersed in the story.

The giant turtle repeated once more, "The true dragon is dead."

He told Bubble the story from that time.

"Many years ago, the True Dragon was the guardian of the world. Under his protection, the aquatic creatures lived happily and carefree lives. But one day, a massive volcano erupted. This eruption was particularly terrifying. The lava flowing from the volcano burned the trees, turned the earth into scorched earth, and volcanic ash blocked out the sky, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night. The volcano continued to erupt, and lava flowed into the rivers. The aquatic creatures faced terrible danger..."

"The true dragon came up with a solution: to extinguish the volcano with his own body."

In the video, the young giant turtle raises its head in the water, gazing at the real dragon in the sky.

"No, you'll die if you do that."

"Only in this way can we extinguish the volcano and save the aquatic world. Goodbye, and remember to rebuild this beautiful world!"

The true dragon, without hesitation, charged into the volcano with towering waves, extinguishing it.

Xia Ming noticed that there were already tears glistening in his daughter's eyes.

But now he felt that something was off about this plot; it had a familiar feel to it, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Xia Ming quickly came up with an idea.

"That's it, that's it!"

He now knew what the true dragon in this story meant!

After his daughter finished watching, Xia Ming immediately grabbed his tablet and quickly went through the previous episodes.

After watching the previous episodes, Xia Ming felt that he suddenly understood the anime from a different perspective.

He hadn't seen the part about the Golden Toad Paradise before, but now that he's watched it, that part of the story is incredibly profound.

The aquatic creatures have become tools in the amusement park, eating the worst food and making money for the three-legged toads.

The most crucial point here is that the bubbles are red.

"I never imagined that Lu Ran's animation had such a deeper meaning. Who says this is a children's animation? Adults can definitely look at it from a different perspective."

By the next day, people online were already discussing the plot allegorical meanings in "The Adventures of Little Carp".

On K-site, the number of views for the animation also began to rise, and most importantly, the number of bullet comments started to increase.

"I understand. In the children's eyes, this is Bubble searching for the real dragon. In our eyes, it's also searching for our own real dragon. But there's another thing: don't wait for me to come back. After I leave, you are me! I think the final message of this animation is that everyone can become a dragon!"
