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

Tencent Video, Animation Division, Senior Management Conference Room.

On a huge projection screen, a concept design drawing of a physical card element is being displayed.

"President Zi, this is the brand new plan proposed by our project team."

"Offline card battle + animation collaboration mode".

The project leader's tone was filled with barely concealed excitement.

"We conducted an in-depth study of the successful model of Pokémon in the Land of Light and found that its core lies in collecting, raising, battling and emotional connection."

"Based on this, we made some bold micro-innovations!"

He switched to a different slide in the presentation, showing the beautifully designed physical cards.

This is a set of spherical physical toys and matching cards called Bakugan.

Players launch explosives using specific explosive devices.

The Bakugan will unfold in mid-air and transform into the corresponding Bakugan creature upon landing to engage in battle!

"At the same time, we will simultaneously produce an anime of the same name, 'Bakugan Boys,' creating a fictional world where boys make friends and grow together through Bakugan battles."

The animation drives traffic to the card game and shapes the characters and world view;

Cards and toys bring the battle experience from the animation into reality, forming a perfect closed loop!

Wisteria sat in the main seat, scrutinizing every detail on the projection.

The success of Pokémon showed her the terrifying power of cross-media content ecosystems.

Tencent Video boasts a massive user base and capital advantages.

Imitation and improvement of this model is indeed a viable path.

"What are the market research and cost estimates like?"

The wisteria blossoms ask.

"Very optimistic!"

The person in charge answered immediately.

"Our target youth group has a high acceptance of this combination of trading cards and transforming toys."

"A preliminary cooperation agreement has been reached with Lebao, the largest toy manufacturer in China."

"Regarding animation production, we plan to employ a top-tier team and an S-level budget to ensure that the audiovisual effects are on par with Pokémon!"

The wisteria flowers nodded slightly.

This project has a clear concept, an innovative model, and funding and distribution channels are not a problem.

As a strategic move to counter the Land of Light's Pokémon franchise and an attempt to open up new avenues of competition, Bakugan is a worthwhile investment.

"Okay. The project has been officially approved and will be implemented according to S-level standards."

The wisteria made its decision.

"I want to see prototypes and Bakugan models produced as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Ms. Zi!"

The project team was invigorated.

After finishing the project approval for "Bakugan no Shonen", Wisteria rubbed her temples.

Imitation and defense alone are not enough; she needs an ace up her sleeve that can directly compete with, or even surpass, the top works of the Land of Light.

"Among the outstanding comics or scripts that we asked you to focus on collecting and selecting before, were there any particularly outstanding ones?"

The wisteria flower asked the assistant beside her.

The assistant felt a chill run down her spine, knowing that this discerning director was not entirely satisfied with the several excellent works submitted for review.

He quickly stepped forward and pulled up an encrypted folder.

"Purple Boss, there really is one!"

"It was strongly recommended by several veteran producers from the animation division; they almost got into an internal argument over the animation adaptation rights to this work!"

"Oh?"

The wisteria flower raised its eyebrows.

It is something that can be unanimously praised by several animation producers, each with their own unique skills.

Works that are even fought over by internal strife?

This is not common.

You should know that those guys don't usually respect each other.

She took the tablet computer from her assistant; the screen displayed an already opened digital comic book file.

Saint Seiya

The wisteria flower calmed down and began to peruse the pages.

A wonderful fusion of Greek mythology and modern city life...

Young warriors clad in ancient armor fight to protect the goddess Athena.

Imaginative constellation settings and gorgeous, unique Saint Cloth designs;

The game features close-quarters combat with punches landing with a visceral feel, and a setting where players unleash their full potential by burning their inner strength.

Pegasus Meteor Fist, Rising Dragon Fist of Mount Lu, Diamond Dust Fist...

Each move has a name that's unforgettable...

Passion, bonds, sacrifice, protection...

The wisteria flower unconsciously slowed down its reading speed.

She witnessed Seiya's repeated defeats and his unwavering will to master the Pegasus Meteor Fist;

I witnessed the complex relationship between the cold-blooded Cassios and Seiya, a relationship that was both adversarial and friendly.

I witnessed the awe-inspiring moment when the Sagittarius Gold Cloth responded to justice and hope at the crucial moment, choosing Seiya;

Furthermore, we glimpsed just the tip of the iceberg of the vast worldview and conspiracy hidden behind the Sanctuary...

Before we knew it, more than thirty minutes had passed.

The wisteria flower slowly put down the tablet and took a deep breath.

"S+ level budget".

Her voice was calm.

"No upper limit."

"Notify the copyright and production departments that I will use any means necessary to secure the exclusive animation adaptation rights as quickly and under the best conditions!"

The assistant was startled.

"S+ level!"

This is the highest standard ever achieved by Tencent Video's animation department in recent years.

It is usually only used to bet on projects that are considered the best drama of the year!

"Mr. Zi, what do you think of this work...?"

"It has the potential to become a super IP with national and even global influence!"

Action, fighting, Saint Cloths, protection, a vast mythological world...

This work has almost all the elements of a blockbuster.

If well-produced, its influence may even surpass that of the episodic format of "Ultraman Tiga".

It will become a phenomenal work that leads an era.

The Land of Light... You have Pokémon, Nexus, CLANNAD...

But do you guys have any epic battles of this magnitude?

"This time, it's our turn, the penguins, to define passion."

……

Office of the Land of Light.

"Director Yang, are you... starting another new project?"

Su Xiaoran came in carrying a stack of documents and couldn't help but facepalm and complain.

"Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare use them like that!"

Yang Qian looked up from a pile of design drafts and smiled.

"What, is that not allowed?"

The Land of Light has recently recruited a lot of new recruits.

The 2D team, 3D team, special effects team, and scriptwriting team have all been greatly strengthened.

With production capacity up, Yang Qian naturally wanted to expand into multiple areas.

"Production capacity has increased..."

Su Xiaoran walked to her desk, put down the documents, and pointed to the dense schedule on the computer screen.

"But the audience's time and attention are limited."

"There are only 24 hours in a day. With so many of our works being released at once, even the most loyal fans can't keep up." Rong

Yang Qian paused slightly as he was about to write on the whiteboard.

Su Xiaoran's reminder was timely and crucial.

He was so focused on advancing his vision for the work that he neglected the market's absorption rate and the audience's experience.

High-quality works need time to be polished, and more importantly, they need to give the audience room to appreciate them and for word-of-mouth to develop.

Over-saturation with releases may dilute the unique value and influence of each work.

"Hmm...that's a good suggestion."

Su Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the boss was willing to listen to her opinions.

She was preparing to report on the next few specific tasks when a news window suddenly popped up on her computer as a special attention reminder.

"Huh? Tencent Video is making another big move?"

Su Xiaoran clicked on it, quickly browsed through it, and her expression gradually became somewhat serious. "Director Yang, what do you think?"

On the trending topics list, one topic is rapidly climbing:

[#Tencent Video's S+ level blockbuster "Saint Seiya" anime adaptation launched!#]

[#Read comics and win a 100,000 yuan prize! Saint Seiya comics are free for 30 days!#]

Clicking through leads to a lengthy, high-profile promotional article released by Tencent Video.

They announced that they have acquired the exclusive full rights to the super popular manga "Saint Seiya" and will devote top resources to producing an anime of the same name.

Meanwhile, to generate buzz, the comic will be available for free reading on all platforms for 30 days.

They also launched a large-scale lucky draw event: "Read comics, share your thoughts, and win a creative fund of up to 10 yuan."

"Tencent Video... they've really gone all out this time."

Su Xiaoran sighed.

"Free comic for a limited time, big prize draw, S+ level production... it seems they have a lot of confidence in this work."

Yang Qian's gaze fell on the five words "Saint Seiya," and her eyes flickered slightly.

He truly never imagined that this classic shonen manga from his past life would be discovered and brought to the forefront by Tencent Video in this world, in such a way.

It seems there are many talented and extraordinary people in this world, and excellent ideas don't belong to him alone.

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

"Saint Seiya is indeed a good opponent."

Yang Qian stood up and stretched her wrists.

He looked at Su Xiaoran.

"Xiaoran."

"Yes, Director Yang."

"Immediately reserve meeting room number one and notify the core creators of the 2D animation team that the meeting will be held in half an hour."

Yang Qian's tone was calm.

"The core creative team of the 2D animation team, the head of the art design team, and the head of the script planning team are all required to be present."

"We have a new project that needs to be launched urgently."

"Yes!" Su Xiaoran's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Yang Qian was getting serious.

She immediately turned around to make arrangements.

He glanced at the gorgeous poster of "Saint Seiya" on the tablet, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The opponent has already drawn their sword.

The Land of Light should also produce something of its own.
