Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

On the day after New Year's Day, Yang Qian's Weibo post sincerely recommending "Fate/Grand Order" did indeed have a great effect.

The comments section became a huge team-building event for fun-loving people.

"Guangda, blink if you've been kidnapped."

"Still posting on Weibo at this hour? Is Everbright Securities working themselves to the bone?"

"The boss needs to work overtime? The person upstairs probably has some misunderstanding about the boss."

"So, Guangda really watched 'Fate/Brawl'? And thought it was good??"

"Guangda, aren't you even a little bit nervous about 'Dragon Rider' getting a 9.6 rating? Now we're giving you a chance. Release the entire 'Dragon Rider' series, and your brothers will fight their way through!"

"Add one more request for 'Dragon Rider'! I want to see the Night Rider and Dragon Rider's love-hate relationship!"

"I need more episodes of 'Qin's Moon'! I want to see Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang!"

"Please update Cardcaptor Sakura! Has Tomoyo made Sakura a new outfit yet?"

There are very few comments discussing "Fate Brawl," with most people urging the Land of Light to release more of its own works.

Yang Qian scrolled through the comments section, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Forget it, so be it.

He put down his phone and looked out the window.

The second day of the three-day New Year's Day holiday.

I stayed home and lay in bed all day.

Anyway, I don't know what to do.

The special effects team has dumplings watching over them;

With Guo Fan leading the film crew;

Chen Yi from Group 2D remained as steady as a mountain;

Huang Duotian and Liu Liang from the 3D team worked together seamlessly.

Hu Pangbin from the music team is preparing a new song, but I heard that it will be a bit difficult to recreate "Moonlight".

The nine newcomers in the voice acting team are practicing singing and dancing like crazy...

His boss seems to have suddenly found himself with nothing to do.

Yang Qian then began a two-day deep hibernation period.

Aside from necessary meals and bathroom breaks, he spends most of his time sleeping.

He slept until the afternoon of the next day, and then, half asleep, he glanced at the system panel.

【Malignant cell erosion level: 29.0%】

It decreased by 0.8% compared to three days ago.

Yang Qian stared at the number, stunned for three seconds.

He sat up and rubbed his face.

Looking back carefully, it seems that I haven't had a proper rest in the past six months.

From being diagnosed with a terminal illness and founding the Kingdom of Light, to launching one work after another and waging one business battle after another, he has been working non-stop almost every day.

Although the system rewards are constantly reducing the degree of erosion, the physical fatigue is very real.

"So, getting enough sleep is itself a form of therapy?"

Yang Qian seemed to be deep in thought.

He recalled the news reports of people dying suddenly from staying up all night.

That seems to make sense.

He nodded and lay back down.

Then I'll sleep a little longer.

……

January 4th marked the end of the New Year's Day holiday and the first day back to work.

At 10:00 AM, a notification popped up in the Land of Light's work group, tagging all members.

@All members

经研究决定，自今日起，光之国全体员工午休时间从原来的12:00-13:00，调整为12:00-13:30。

During this period, all departments are required to turn off the lights, draw the curtains, put down their work, and take a mandatory lunch break.

Coffee machines, printers, and other high-decibel equipment are temporarily out of service.

Those in special positions who cannot take a lunch break (such as special effects film crews on set, recording studios, etc.) will be given an extra lunch break allowance.

Please supervise each other and develop good sleep habits.

—Yang Qian

After the message was sent, the group was silent for three seconds.

Then it exploded.

"??? Lunch break extended by half an hour?!"

"Mandatory lunch break? Is that even possible?!"

"Director Yang, does that mean our off-duty time will be extended by half an hour?"

"Are you stupid upstairs? Director Yang definitely wants us to stay half an hour later..."

"Ah, it feels good to sleep an extra half hour, but it feels like I'm missing out if I leave work late..."

Su Xiaoran looked at the discussion in the group and quickly went to Yang Qian's office.

"Director Yang, the employees might have objections to this adjustment."

She offered a tactful reminder.

"While getting more rest is a good thing, it's essentially extending working hours in disguise, which might make people feel..."

"Huh? I didn't say I wanted to leave work late."

Yang Qian looked up.

"The time to leave work is still the same."

Su Xiaoran: "???"

"Then the working hours will be reduced by half an hour?"

She was even more confused.

"What about the project schedule? What about the deadlines?"

What kind of work can you do in half an hour?

Yang Qian countered with a question.

"If I work an extra half hour, will I be able to finish the project ahead of schedule?"

"Xiao Ran, have you ever calculated how much a person's work efficiency will decrease in the afternoon if they don't rest at noon?"

How much does chronic sleep deprivation diminish creativity? How much does it increase the likelihood of needing to take sick leave?

Su Xiaoran was stunned.

"I've checked the data."

Yang Qian turned around, her tone serious.

"A lunch break of 30 minutes or more can increase afternoon work efficiency by an average of 34%."

Employees who consistently get enough sleep have a 42% lower sick leave rate than those who don't get enough sleep.

"We work in the creative industry, which relies not on accumulating hours, but on inspiration and state of mind."

"Letting everyone get a good nap at noon so they can work three hours with full energy in the afternoon will be much more productive than working three and a half hours in a row."

He paused, then added.

"Moreover, this is a mandatory lunch break."

"I don't want to see anyone secretly working during lunch breaks in order to meet deadlines."

"That would only create a vicious cycle: the more tired you are, the less efficient you become; the less efficient you are, the more overtime you have to work; and the more overtime you work, the more tired you become."

"Starting today, at 13:00 PM, department heads will conduct inspections. If anyone is found not taking a break, the first offense will result in a warning, and the second offense will result in a deduction from their performance bonus."

Su Xiaoran was stunned.

"besides."

Yang Qian remembered something.

"Go to the logistics department and buy a nap blanket for each employee. They need to be warm, thin, and light gray so they don't get dirty."

"It's cold outside, and you're more likely to catch a cold while taking a nap."

Looking at Yang Qian's serious expression, Su Xiaoran suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

During her internship, the thing her boss said most often was...

"Young people should strive harder."

"Working overtime without pay is a blessing."

"Sleeping is a waste of life."

And here...

"Okay, Director Yang."

She nodded vigorously.

"I'll arrange it right away."

As Su Xiaoran walked out of the office, she heard Yang Qian send another message in the group chat:

"In addition, the lunch break will be extended by half an hour, which will not affect the normal time to leave work."

The group chat exploded again.

"loyalty!!!"

"I love the Land of Light!!!!"

"I'm going to buy an eye mask and earplugs right now!"

"Logistics department! I want a pink blanket!"

"Is it a man or a woman upstairs?"

"Men! Macho men should wear pink!"

……

It was exactly 12 noon.

The lights on each floor of the Land of Light went out one by one, and the curtains were drawn.

In the office area, the sound of keyboards stopped, and the conversations gradually subsided.

Some people took out folding beds, some spread out nap blankets, and some simply lay down on the table.

In the corridor, Xiao Liu from the administration department led several interns on a quiet patrol.

Upon seeing two programmers secretly coding in the technical department, I immediately went up to warn them.

"Brother Wang, Brother Li, take a rest."

"Just a few lines left..."

"Director Yang said, you can still write code after you wake up. You only have one life, so hurry up and go to sleep!"

"Okay, okay..."

In the silence, only the sound of even breathing could be heard.

The kitten Shijiu strolled leisurely down the corridor, jumped onto the front desk, curled up in a ball, and closed its eyes.

……

At the same time, on the homepage of Tencent Video.

The third teaser PV for "The Wind Rises" has been released.

This time, we focus on the personal story of the band's lead vocalist, Hoshino Rin.

She lost her parents at a young age and grew up in an orphanage. She used music to heal her inner trauma and eventually met her friends.

The PV is 2 minutes long and includes a complete original song, "Tears of the Star".

The melody is beautiful, the lyrics are touching, and the singer is a top-tier voice actor and singer in China.

The comments section was filled with praise:

"Tencent really went all out this time! This song is absolutely amazing!"

"Hoshino Rin's character is so touching, she's strong yet fragile, I want to hug her."

"This is what a girl band should be like! Music, dreams, growth, and healing!"

"I heard that the music team for 'The Wind' is top-notch, no wonder it sounds so good."

"There's still no news about LoveLive! in the Land of Light, right? Tencent is trying to seize the market first."

Looking at the PV data and public opinion, the wisteria flower nodded in satisfaction.

"What's the reaction from the Land of Light?"

She asked her assistant.

Not yet.

The assistant hesitated.

"They only released one character concept art today, and didn't even release a PV."

The wisteria flowers smiled.

"It seems they're not ready yet."

"Alright, let's maximize the hype then."

She ordered, "Continue to allocate resources. Tomorrow I want to see 'The Wind' in the top three of Weibo's trending topics."

……

The Land of Light, Yang Qian's office.

Dami called, sounding a bit anxious.

"Guangda, Tencent has released a new PV for 'The Wind Rises' and it's getting a lot of attention!"

Shouldn't our LoveLive! also...?

"No rush."

Yang Qian said calmly.

"Let them do their thing, we'll do it at our own pace."

"But the market enthusiasm will be stolen!"

Rice is worried.

"It can't be taken away."

Yang Qian smiled.

"True fans won't leave just because someone else releases a song first."

He turned on his computer and brought up the completed sample video of "LoveLive!".

"Dami, what do you think an idol is?"

Da Mi was stunned.

"Huh? Someone who sings and dances well, is good-looking, and is liked by many people?"

That's just appearances.

Yang Qian shook his head.

"A true idol is someone who brings hope to people."

"They may not be perfect; they may be nervous, make mistakes, or feel lost."

"But they will work hard, persevere, and shine on stage, telling everyone, 'Dreams can come true.'"

He pressed play.

The music is ringing.

Nine girls danced clumsily but earnestly, and their singing, though immature, was full of power.

The final frame freezes on Honoka's sweaty, smiling face.

Dami remained silent for several seconds on the other end of the phone.

"Everbright..."

"So, there's no need to rush into a direct confrontation with them."

Yang Qian turned off the video.

"Let the penguins warm up the market first and make the concept of a girl band popular."

"When audiences start to look forward to these kinds of works..."

"Let's take out 'LoveLive!' again and tell them that idols can be like this."

The rice nodded vigorously.

"I understand! When will the publicity campaign start?"

"tomorrow."

Yang Qian said.

"Let's release the first PV, 'START:DASH!!'."

"good!"

"By the way, Guangda, will you be attending the Starlight Video Top 100 UP Awards Ceremony this weekend? We'll be there this year."

Da Mi added another sentence.

"An assassination list?"

Rice: "..."

"These are all rumors. It's normal for people to rise and fall."

"I'm busy."

Yang Qian decisively refused.

"Everbright, this is an opportunity that only comes once a year."

Rice urged again.

"Rice, you know me."

Seeing that Yang Qian had already said that, Dami had no choice but to give up.

Is there something more important going on?

……

Nearly half a year later, Yang Qian once again embarked on this bumpy mountain road.

This time, however, it wasn't a mobile projection truck.

Instead, they were light trucks bearing the Wuling logo and the Land of Light logo.

The truck was fully loaded with supplies: 400 sets of children's cotton-padded clothes, 400 pairs of winter sports shoes, 200 thick cotton quilts, 200 boxes of Hakimi soy milk, and a batch of brand-new stationery and books.

In the passenger seat, Zhou Jianguo, the owner of Wuling Motors, was personally following in the car.

The other car was occupied by the driver and Luo Zheng, an employee of the Kingdom of Light who had previously performed a heroic act.

He insisted on coming along, and Yang Qian couldn't do anything about it.

"Director Yang, are you planning to run this 'Warmth Project' long-term?"

Zhou Jianguo asked.

"Um."

Yang Qian looked at the mountain scenery outside the window.

"The Land of Light should give back to society after making money."

"And the children need it."

Three hours later, the truck finally entered City B, Baiyu Village, Baiyu Primary School.

It's been a long time!

but……

What's going on with those staff members wearing executive jackets?

Yang Qian remembered that this time he was on a secret mission.

Oh no! There's a mole among us!
