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

Office of the Land of Light.

Su Xiaoran walked in carrying a stack of documents, a half-smile on her face.

"Director Yang, I heard you went on another incognito visit yesterday to experience the hardships of ordinary people?"

"Hahaha……"

Yang Qianqian chuckled twice and looked away from the screen.

It was discovered so quickly?

He did ask Zhou Dali to help arrange his schedule yesterday and also spoke with Su Xiaoran, but he didn't specify what he was going to do.

It seems I couldn't hide it from this meticulous assistant after all.

"I did report it, but I didn't say I was going to be Santa Claus."

Su Xiaoran pulled out a beautifully packaged scroll and several envelopes from the pile of documents and handed them to Yang Qian.

"Look, here's a thank-you letter jointly sent by the City A Youth Palace and the City Autism Children Care Foundation, and this banner as well."

Yang Qian's eyes lit up, and he took the banner and unfolded it.

"Illuminating Children's Hearts, Boundless Love"

"A gift to: All staff members of the Land of Light Animation Studio and Ultraman actors"

The letter was signed "A father of a child with autism and all the families who received assistance."

"Great, really great."

Yang Qian looked at the banner carefully, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

He carefully rolled up the banner.

"Put the gifts and letters from the audience in the display room, find a prominent place."

"Thank-you letters are also scanned and archived, and the originals are displayed together."

"Okay."

"Director Yang, how did you get exposed this time?"

Su Xiaoran asked curiously.

Yang Qian shrugged. "Maybe someone from the event organizers recognized him, or maybe Xiao Xiong's father guessed it later."

"But it's okay, I never intended to keep this completely a secret anyway."

He paused, then added, "Remember, in the future, for these kinds of charitable activities undertaken in the name of a company or individual, as long as it does not involve the child's privacy and the other party agrees, it is permissible to promote them appropriately."

"We do this not to seek fame or recognition, but if it can bring more attention to these groups, then its value is even greater."

"Understood."

Su Xiaoran nodded seriously.

Meanwhile, on the Starlight Video website, the first season of CLANNAD has officially launched.

Clannad has been online for two days and has been updated to the fourth episode.

The story begins on a slope where cherry blossoms flutter in the air.

Tomoya Okazaki, a delinquent boy who is bored with his mundane daily life and future. He spends his days joking around with his friend Youhei Sunohara.

In this gray life, day after day.

On the slope, he encountered the girl who was talking to herself.

Furukawa Nagisa.

"I...love this school very much, but all of this is constantly changing..."

"Whether it's happy things or sad things, everything..."

Because of her poor health, Zhu repeated a year and felt extremely uneasy about facing her new class and classmates.

She wanted to find the drama department, which had ceased operations, but even taking the first step seemed difficult.

Tomoya initially encouraged her out of mere curiosity:

"If that's the case, why don't you go and find out for yourself?"

A simple sentence, yet it was like a key, gently unlocking the tightly closed doors of two hearts.

Their worlds began to intersect from that moment on.

Other female characters with diverse personalities also appeared one after another.

Sakagami Tomoyo, a violent yet loyal woman;

Kotomi Ichinose, who excels at creating legends of "Radiant Jewels";

The lively and cheerful Fujibayashi sisters...

In the early part of the first season, it resembled a standard campus romance comedy, even with some harem tendencies.

The ending theme is "Dumpling Family".

The soft, warm melody, like the afternoon sun in spring, gently envelops every listener.

[Tango Tango Tango Tango Tango Tango Big Family]

Playful and mischievous barbecue dumplings, gentle red bean paste dumplings~

...]

The comment section was peaceful:

"Yay!!! It really is a pure school romance slice-of-life anime! I love the sweet interactions the most! Guangda finally did something right this time!"

"White stockings! Over-the-knee socks! JK uniform! Gymnastics outfit! Guangda really knows us perverts! I'm taking a screenshot and using it as my wallpaper! Hehehe~"

"Tomoyo-senpai! Please kick me hard with those long legs! (Pervert mode activated)"

"I still like Nagisa's type of girl the most. She's gentle and kind, a little naive but also very strong. I feel like I want to protect her, like a little animal!"

"Nagisa's ahoge (cowlick) is definitely inherited from my father-in-law... Father-in-law! I'll take care of Nagisa!"

"Wait a minute, don't you guys think Mrs. Sanae smells amazing too? A gentle and beautiful wife is the best! (doge)"

"I told you so! This is definitely a school harem romance anime! It starts with a classic encounter on a slope, and then all sorts of beautiful girls appear one after another—the standard setup! Those who were worried about angst, aren't they proven wrong?"

"The ending theme 'Dumplings Daikazoku' is so heartwarming and healing! I've set it as my alarm every morning! Waking up to it makes me feel good all day!"

"It seems that the Land of Light has truly reformed this time and made a purely healing anime."

"The first four episodes were quite good. The daily life scenes were very detailed and the characters were portrayed naturally, but the pacing was a bit slow."

"Slow down, that's good! I like this kind of gradual development of feelings!"

Clannad has been online for two days and currently has a rating of 9.1.

For the Land of Light, this score is not high.

This score isn't particularly impressive compared to the Land of Light's previous masterpieces, which often scored 9.5 or higher.

But for Yang Qian, this start is already enough.

Most of the content in the first season was warm, fun, and full of youthful excitement and a touch of melancholy.

Viewers can absolutely treat it as a high-quality school harem romance anime.

Laugh.

Be happy.

Immerse yourself in cherry blossoms, slopes, dumplings, and warm everyday life.

Every bit of sweetness we experience now is a stepping stone to some future moment...

To lay the groundwork.

Furthermore, Yang Qian also set a special notification on the playback page.

At the end of the first season, viewers will be prompted whether they wish to pay to unlock the second season, "Clannad ~After Story~".

This was his final act of tenderness for the audience.

Or rather—

The last escape route.

After all, it's sometimes too cruel to just lure people in and "kill" them.

Tencent Video, Animation Division.

Wisteria also took some time to watch the first few episodes of CLANNAD.

She clicked on the first episode and watched for ten minutes.

I clicked on the second episode and fast-forwarded through five minutes of it.

Then turn it off.

Well... the production is indeed excellent; the visuals, music, and character design are all top-notch.

But it's too slow.

It's not that it's bad, but... it's too ordinary.

This is a slow-paced campus animation that focuses on daily interactions and delicate emotions.

If it were ten years ago, when the pace of the internet wasn't this fast, it might have become a classic.

But now?

The times have changed.

Today's audiences have become spoiled by fast-paced, high-conflict, and high-energy content.

A school romance anime?

If the first episode doesn't show obvious signs of factional strife, doesn't have enough fan service scenes, and doesn't have any explosive plot points, it's difficult to quickly grab and retain a large audience.

This is why Clannad only has a score of 9.1.

The wisteria flower drew a conclusion.

It seems that Ah Guang isn't omnipotent after all.

At least in the genre of school romance anime, he might... really not be very good at it.

Or rather, he underestimated the tastes of today's audience.

This discovery inexplicably brought her a sense of relief.

The pressure of constantly facing an opponent who seems to always be one step ahead, someone you can't defeat, is immense.

Occasionally, seeing that the other person also has areas they are not good at can be quite comforting.

Tanuki Entertainment, Animation Division Director's Office.

Looking at the ratings and reviews for "Clannad," Zhang Ming couldn't help but sneer.

"What the hell?"

He threw the tablet on the table, his tone full of disdain.

"School-themed anime? Do people still watch that?"

He thought that after holding back for so long, the Land of Light would release a blockbuster like "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" or "Super Beast Force".

result?

That's it?

"It's bland and uneventful, the pacing is slow, and the characters aren't particularly memorable."

He shook his head.

Perhaps the previous few masterpieces exhausted his creative energy, or maybe this was just something he rushed to finish to meet the deadline?

Just then, his assistant knocked on the door and came in, handing him a report.

"Mr. Zhang, this is a list and schedule of the animation projects that the company has recently completed. Please take a look."

Zhang Ming flipped through the pages casually, then suddenly remembered something and looked up at his assistant.

"By the way, I heard... you submitted your resignation?"

The assistant nodded calmly: "Yes, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Ming raised his head and squinted his eyes.

"Oh?"

He leaned forward, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"What, do you think Lizi Entertainment can't keep a star like you? Want to switch to another company?"

His tone was tentative.

"How about... I refer you? I know quite a few HR directors at big companies."

Play the good guy, and while you're at it, sound him out.

As for what happens next?

He couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't offer any objective evaluation of the assistant's next job.

The assistant shook his head, his expression calm.

"Mr. Zhang, you've misunderstood. There are no other potential buyers."

"My old house was demolished, and the compensation was quite substantial."

"I plan to take a break for a while, spend time with my family, and also consider starting a small business that I enjoy in the future."

Zhang Ming: "..."

All the prepared remarks were instantly shut down.

Demolition?

This reason is absolutely flawless!

It is one of the ultimate reasons that modern working people dream of quitting their jobs.

His facial muscles twitched, and he forced a smile: "Oh...I see. Well...congratulations."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now."

The assistant bowed slightly, turned and left with steady steps.

"You can go now. As for the resignation procedures... I'll have you sign them later."

"OK."

Zhang Ming stared at the closed door, his face darkening.

He certainly didn't believe the nonsense about demolition, but the excuse was too perfect, and he couldn't find a reason to lash out.

"Hmph, just you wait and see."

He muttered to himself, turning his attention back to the Land of Light.

Campus animation.

Ah Guang, that move of yours was a bit of a blunder.

At 3 PM, the Land of Light once again became a trending topic.
