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

"This is Da Mi, the latest work. Let's schedule a pre-release promotional period."

He replied almost instantly.

A message popped up in the rice chat box, its tone filled with undisguised congratulations:

"Everbright! Congratulations! (Sprinkling flowers.jpg)"

Yang Qian smiled and typed a reply.

"Thank you, but the award doesn't count until it's officially announced."

His words weren't just empty modesty.

Tencent's "Legend of the Martial Emperor" was removed from the platform and withdrawn from the competition due to scandals involving its spokesperson and controversial plot.

Tanuki's "Hyakki Kitan" is embroiled in a chart manipulation scandal and fan infighting, resulting in a collapse in its reputation.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms from the Land of Light is unparalleled in terms of quality, social impact, and official attitude.

The championship is practically in their grasp.

But opening champagne prematurely is definitely not a good habit.

Especially in the entertainment industry, there are always variables.

"I understand, I understand!"

Dami sent a "I understand" emoji.

"Director Yang, is this a back-to-back film?"

"One of them is a rather special anime that I mentioned to you before, 'Natsume's Book of Friends'."

"The other one is Kamen Rider."

Yang Qian answered.

"??? Kamen Rider?!"

Da Mi on the other end of the computer was clearly taken aback.

The Kamen Rider IP hasn't been mentioned for a long time.

The Land of Light is currently expanding the Ultraman universe with all its might.

Although viewers have mentioned it occasionally, the official response has been silent.

Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, Yang Qian is going to pick up this series again.

Yang Qian had previously agreed to the request from the police in City A.

We need to make a film that showcases the positive image of police officers.

Kamen Rider G3, the second rider in Kamen Rider Agito, and its rider, Makoto Hikawa.

He is a police officer with a strong sense of justice and a strong sense of duty.

Its G3 system is also an armor developed by the police to combat unknown life forms, perfectly meeting the requirements.

After ending the conversation, Yang Qian casually opened the comment section of her personal Weibo account.

Unsurprisingly.

The comments section under the latest post is now flooded with requests for more updates and wishes.

Grandpa Hikaru! Please! Look at the kids! When will there be a new Kamen Rider series?! (Shakes wildly)

"Ultraman smells amazing, but my knightly spirit is burning too! I want to see the motorcycle, the belt, and the cool transformation!"

"There haven't been any new Riders since Rider Rush+! I know you're making them! Hurry up and bring them on!"

"We can't favor one over the other! How about we get a super team too? A five-person team, with distinct colors, that would be so cool!"

"Hey upstairs, don't be so greedy! Give us our Armor Warriors back first!"

"You guys... do you really think Guangda is some kind of wishing well? (doge)"

"I'm wishing ADO would release a new song! I've already listened to 'So Annoying' on repeat a thousand times!"

"Gam! You really treat Guangda's Weibo like a wishing well, throwing all sorts of things in!"

"So, I'd like to wish for a girlfriend who can watch Ultraman fight monsters and Kamen Rider kick monsters with me. Is that too much to ask?"

"Hey upstairs, don't be so rigid about gender! Can't it be a guy? I love watching tokusatsu too!"

"Guangda, look at the children! Even the donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like this!"

Looking at these diverse comments, Yang Qian couldn't help but shake his head.

"It seems we really need something new."

He muttered to himself.

They have continuously released Ultraman works such as "Nexus" and "Taro".

Although it has a good reputation and is popular.

However, the Kamen Rider series, which also belongs to the tokusatsu genre, did indeed go quiet for a while.

It's time for audiences to change things up and experience the different charm of cyborgs.

Moreover, there is another reason.

Didn't Lizi Entertainment just launch that show called "Tokusatsu Boys" which features handsome idols?

Since the other party has taken the initiative to jump into the tokusatsu (special effects) field.

It also carried a hint of defiance.

The Land of Light wouldn't mind using a profound Kamen Rider series to teach them what tokusatsu (special effects) really is.

"Special effects filming is not just about posing and looking cool."

……

On the set of Land of Light tokusatsu.

"Director Wu, your new assistant has arrived."

HR Qingqing led a somewhat reserved young man over.

"Oh! Thank you so much, Qingqing! We're short-handed!"

Wu Dashan put down his script and went to greet him warmly.

He had previously requested that his superiors assign him an experienced on-set assistant.

I didn't expect it to be so efficient.

However, when he saw the person's face clearly, he was stunned.

The other party was also stunned.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Little Shen?! Shen Yu?!"

Wu Dashan cried out in disbelief.

"Mr. Wu... Mr. Wu?! What are you doing here?!"

Shen Yu was completely dumbfounded and stammered.

Isn't this Wu Dashan, his former boss at Lizi Entertainment and the former director of the animation division, right?

After Wu Dashan was dismissed from Lizi Entertainment, Shen Yu never heard from him again.

I thought he had gone back to his hometown or changed careers.

I never expected to run into you on the set of the Land of Light!

Moreover, judging from the situation, Wu Dashan has a high status here, and he is the director.

"What Mr. Wu! He's not anymore!"

Wu Dashan patted Shen Yu's shoulder hard and laughed heartily, his face showing a relaxed and enthusiastic expression that Shen Yu had never seen before.

"I'm now the director of the Land of Light's special effects team, back to my old profession: making movies! It's awesome!"

He looked Shen Yu up and down and said sarcastically.

"Well done, Xiao Shen. You've finally seen the light and decided to leave that awful place, Tanuki?"

Shen Yu blushed and quickly explained.

"Director Wu, I completed the normal resignation procedures and was recruited through the Kingdom of Light's social recruitment... No, what I mean is..."

He used to be Wu Dashan's assistant at Lizi Entertainment, and he suffered a lot of mistreatment after Wu Dashan left.

I happened to see the Land of Light's job posting, so I submitted my resume on a whim.

Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly, and I was even assigned to a tokusatsu (special effects) film set.

Even more coincidentally, the boss turned back into the old leader.

"Sigh, I get it, I get it!"

Wu Dashan, with an expression of someone who's been through it all, put his arm around Shen Yu's shoulder.

"No matter how you got here, once you're here, you're one of us! The Land of Light is completely different from the Tanuki Kingdom."

He pulled Shen Yu toward the film set, recounting the details as they walked.

"Working in the Land of Light has only one principle: focus all your energy on making good and exciting films."

"Nothing else—no backstabbing, no data fabrication, no pandering to bizarre clients...not a thing!"

"Director Yang provided the direction and budget, and the rest is up to us, the creative team, to create our stage."

As Shen Yu listened, he felt both moved and expectant.

During his later years at Lizi Entertainment, he was indeed fed up with that oppressive atmosphere.

"However,"

Wu Dashan abruptly changed the subject, stopped walking, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

"Xiao Shen, you also need to be mentally prepared."

"Director Wu, please speak."

Shen Yu said earnestly.

"The workload here is quite heavy, especially when projects are on tight deadlines. Working overtime is the norm."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and even smiled.

"Director Wu, it's just overtime. I've been working just as much overtime at Lizi."

The Land of Light really pays for overtime and offers really good benefits.

Compared to Tanuki's free-to-play, hard-working style, it's like comparing heaven and earth.

"I hope so..." Wu Dashan nodded.

……

As the promotion of "Tokusatsu Boys" by Lizi Entertainment intensified, various press releases featuring cool transformations and deep brotherhood were flying around.

Starlight Video's homepage has been updated with a brand new, huge poster!

[Land of Light's Annual Special Effects Production - New Series]

【Kamen Rider Agito - Beyond the Soul, Burn, Divine Light!】

[A stunning release is coming!]

"When darkness engulfs the earth, when humanity faces an evolutionary crossroads, warriors ahead of their time are about to awaken. This is not a catastrophe, this is... humanity's potential!"

"Some parts of this film were shot in collaboration with the Police Department of City A. This work is dedicated to all law enforcement officers who protect our city."

Almost simultaneously, the Pokémon mobile game released a small update announcement:

[A special collaboration event between Pokémon and Kamen Rider Agito is coming soon!]

During the event, trainers can claim the [Kamen Rider Agito] themed trainer outfit for free from the shop.

Players will also have the opportunity to obtain the rare item [Power of Agito] by completing specific tasks, which can be used to exchange for special appearances or items.

During the collaboration, some gyms will feature special themed decorations.

Fans of the Land of Light and tokusatsu enthusiasts instantly went wild!

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!

"Kamen Rider! It really is Kamen Rider! A new series!"

"Agito...AgitΩ? That name! The vibe of that trailer! It seems a bit different from Kuuga's tragic guardian spirit?"

"Guangda, I was wrong. I shouldn't have called you the turtle in the wishing well. You are my god!"

"Hey you, the one who talked about the Renaissance, come out here! You were a prophet!"

"Wait! The small text next to the flame outline on the poster... Collaboration started?"

"Agito! This design is so cool! It has a kind of sacred feel to it!"

"G3! It's the police! They really cooperated with the police! Awesome!"

"Everbright, I love you!"

"Pokémon even has collaborations! The Land of Light's ecosystem collaborations are really well done!"

"A blatant 'dimensional reduction attack'! This is a naked 'dimensional reduction attack'! Tanuki Entertainment must be crying now, right?"

"Please set a release date soon! I can't wait to see Shoichi transform!"

This sudden official announcement was like a bucket of ice water poured on the promotion of "Tokusatsu Boys".

More importantly, the Land of Light chose this moment to make its official announcement, and the underlying message is self-evident.

Tanuki Entertainment, Zhang Ming's office.

"Bang!"

Zhang Ming slammed a newly printed data report onto the table, his face turning ashen.

He had just invested heavily, hoping to generate buzz for "Tokusatsu Boys" and attract a loyal fanbase.

As a result, the Land of Light pulled out a genuine Kamen Rider.

"Ah-Guang...you did this on purpose!"

Zhang Ming gritted his teeth.

"Someone, increase the publicity efforts!"
