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

"Wuhu, the new work of Land of Light has arrived!"

The day after the final episode of Ultraman Nexus aired.

Another long-awaited work from the Land of Light, "Natsume's Book of Friends," is about to be released.

"Huh? Why isn't it a tokusatsu series? I thought that after Nexus ended, a new Ultraman series would immediately take over. Didn't Leo already have a trailer?"

Some tokusatsu fans were somewhat disappointed.

"+1 to the comment above, my tokusatsu addiction has just been triggered!"

"Hmm, judging from the cover and synopsis... it seems like a slice-of-life anime? The art style is so gentle."

"We need some 2D animation every now and then to change things up! 'Your Lie in April' is so good! It's about high school students' innocent love and musical dreams. Kaori Miyazono is my wife! (Voiced)"

"Waaaaah, Guangda, do you still remember EVA by the Daming Lake? When is the new theatrical version finally coming out?! (Waiting for more updates!)"

"The EVA fans are still holding on... But seriously, it seems like the story of 'Your Lie in April' hasn't fully unfolded yet? The love triangle between Kousei, Kaoru, and Tsubaki... there's bound to be something big coming up, right?"

Yes, Your Lie in April has only aired up to episode 7 so far, and the story has not yet fully unfolded its cruel yet tender core.

In the eyes of the vast majority of viewers, it remains a campus romance anime full of youthful excitement and musical charm.

The subtle emotional entanglement between Kaori Miyazono, Kousei Arima, and Tsubaki Sawabe.

Coupled with the professional portrayal of musical performances, it has indeed sparked heated discussions and a surge in fan fiction among young audiences.

The consistently high quality of Land of Light has given viewers great confidence and anticipation for this "light and refreshing" work.

Meanwhile, in the comments section of "Natsume's Book of Friends," there are expressions of anticipation, teasing, and urging for more updates.

Based on the poster and a brief introduction.

[Natsume, a lonely boy who can see spirits, and the heartwarming contracts he makes with them]

Viewers categorize it as a lighthearted work featuring "school + monsters + everyday healing".

It's just the right thing to soothe a soul that's been cleansed by the profound themes and intense battles of Nexus.

The Land of Light's consistently high-quality production is the best guarantee of its quality.

Office of the Land of Light.

Su Xiaoran handed Yang Qian a latest financial statement.

"Director Yang, the profits from 'Ultraman Nexus' are in."

To date, the project's total revenue has exceeded 1.5 million, and the long-tail effect remains strong.

Yang Qian took the tablet, glanced at it, and nodded: "Hmm, not bad data."

This is inseparable from the hard work and dedication of the entire crew.

He put down the tablet and looked at Su Xiaoran.

"Issue this notice to all members of the Nexus project team: effective immediately, a mandatory three-day paid leave will be arranged."

"In addition to the established project bonus, each person will receive an additional special contribution reimbursement allowance of 20,000 yuan."

"Reimbursement limit?"

Su Xiaoran confirmed, "As long as it's a legitimate invoice, is any purchase acceptable? Including...personal expenses?"

"Yes, any kind of consumption."

Yang Qian affirmed.

"Tourism, shopping, dining, entertainment... as long as you can provide a compliant invoice, the company will reimburse you in full."

Of course, Yang Qian wouldn't mind if she could find a compliant channel to cash out.

Once the money is distributed, how they use it is their prerogative.

Whether it's to improve their lives, send it home, or simply save it, it's all good.

His philosophy is simple: the value created should be shared.

Rather than having employees resort to high-interest online loans to cover some living expenses.

It would be better for the company to provide direct, substantial support.

Making money is ultimately about making life better.

Money is earned to improve one's life and enhance happiness.

"Director Yang, you're giving me such good treatment..."

Su Xiaoran couldn't help but laugh.

"I reckon that once everyone receives the notification, they'll be reluctant to rest and will be thinking about quickly throwing themselves into the next project so they can get another reward."

She knows these key figures of the Land of Light all too well.

They are all career fanatics and idealists spoiled by Yang Qian.

With such great benefits, they'd probably be eager to throw themselves into the next battle to repay the favor.

Yang Qian was taken aback. "Hmm...you're right."

The Land of Light boasts a positive work environment, attractive projects, and salaries and benefits that far exceed industry standards.

Now, with such tempting rewards, it's hard to guarantee that some workaholics wouldn't be willing to give up their rest.

That won't do.

A balance between work and rest is the best long-term solution.

After intense creative work, sufficient rest is essential to ensure inspiration and optimal condition for the next project.

Yang Qian pondered for a moment, "Okay, Xiao Ran, when you issue the leave notice, please emphasize one more point."

"The company will verify the implementation of leave. Those who fail to take the full leave as required will have their subsequent project priorities adjusted."

Su Xiaoran: "..."

She was both amused and exasperated.

There are also bosses who find ways to force employees to rest, and even punish them if they don't get enough rest?

If this gets out...

This might make executives of established companies who want to keep their employees tied to their workstations 24/7 and who tout "blessings" and "wolf-like" behavior question their existence.

However, considering that this is Yang Qian, it seems quite reasonable.

"in addition."

Yang Qian remembered something else.

"I remember that during this year's spring recruitment season, we recruited quite a few recent graduates and interns, right?"

"Yes."

Su Xiaoran retrieved the personnel data.

"This year we expanded our campus recruitment, and with the addition of social recruitment, the proportion of interns and fresh graduates joining the company is currently around 15%."

"The focus is mainly on animation, games, technology research and development, and overseas business."

In addition, the Land of Light has relaxed age and seniority restrictions, but strengthened the assessment of professional skills and potential.

Yang Qian nodded.

"Let's arrange a special subsidy for these newly joined young people."

Yang Qian made a decision.

"Let's arrange some extra benefits for these new young people."

Yang Qian pondered for a moment and said, "We will provide a living allowance for all employees with a college degree or above who have been employed (including interns) for three months or more."

"1 yuan for undergraduates and below, 2 yuan for master's degree holders, and 5 yuan for doctoral degree holders, all paid in a lump sum."

"At the same time, a housing rental subsidy will be added."

He paused, recalling the days when he was struggling financially after graduation.

The meager starting salary, the high rent, and the pressure of paying three months' rent in advance as a deposit once made it difficult for many young people with dreams to move forward.

"You can enjoy this benefit as soon as you join the company. The amount is 20,000 yuan, which will be paid out in 12 monthly installments along with your salary."

This amount of money, though not much, is enough to alleviate one of the biggest economic pressures a recent graduate faces when entering the workforce.

That living allowance was his personal practice of the idea that "knowledge should be rewarded better".

After more than a decade of hard work studying, you should feel some warmth and encouragement as you step into society.

Instead of cold, hard exploitation.

"Okay, Director Yang, I've got it."

Su Xiaoran replied.

She has gone from being surprised by Yang Qian's generous investment in welfare to now taking it for granted.

Director Yang's actions appear generous and casual.

In reality, there are deeper considerations and a deep concern for people behind each of these measures.

That afternoon.

The financial system of the Land of Light Animation Studio completed a batch of special transfers.

A few minutes later, the phones of the eligible young employees started vibrating repeatedly.

SMS notification sound:

[A deposit of RMB 11666.67 has been made into your bank card ending in XXXX. Recipient: Land of Light Animation Studio.]

"what?"

A female concept artist who had just been promoted to a full-time position three months ago stared wide-eyed.

"Haven't I already received my salary this month? And the project bonus isn't due yet..."

"I have one too!"

The intern modeler at the next workstation also let out a soft exclamation.

"11666.67? What does this number mean?"

"Quick, check the internal group chat! The administration has issued an announcement!"

Soon, a notice in bold red appeared in the company's internal announcement section, which is visible to all employees.

[Supplementary Notice from the Land of Light Animation Studio Regarding Improved Benefits for Recent Graduates and Interns]

The notice details the standards, scope, and procedures for issuing the "New Generation Living Allowance" and the "Housing Rental Allowance".

Simple and direct, without any beating around the bush.

Immediately afterwards, another notification popped up.

[A message of gratitude and vacation arrangements to all members of the Ultraman Nexus project team]

The paid leave and reimbursement limits have been clarified.

"Holy crap!!! A living allowance starting at 10,000?! A housing allowance of 20,000?! I just graduated with a master's degree and started working four months ago, does that mean I can get 20,000 plus a housing allowance?!"

"(Screenshot of bank card) It arrived! It really arrived! The monthly rent subsidy will be 1666! Mom, I don't have to worry about next quarter's rent anymore!"

"Waaaaah, why did I graduate two years early! I'm no longer considered a recent graduate! I've missed out on a fortune!"

"You should be content! The sooner you join, the sooner you'll enjoy high salaries and project bonuses! We newcomers are exactly where we need money the most!"

"Exactly! Look at those companies out there, they practically weld you to your workstation 24/7, and they still offer subsidies? They're lucky they don't deduct money from your pay!"

"Have you heard? The entire cast and crew of 'Nexus' are getting three days of paid leave, plus a $20,000 reimbursement allowance for every penny they spend! They can even cash it out!"

"Holy crap! Cashing out is allowed? Doesn't Director Yang check the accounts?!"

"Rumor has it that Director Yang is turning a blind eye to this, as long as the invoices are compliant... The key is to let everyone really relax and not worry about the money."

"I have a friend in the 'Nai' group, I'm going to trick him into topping up his account with 10,000 yuan for a foot massage parlor, and they'll reimburse him. Pretty sweet, huh!"

"If you do not mind, I am willing to acknowledge Director Yang as my godfather!"

"Upstairs, I've taken a screenshot. I'll send it to Director Yang right away. (laughs)"

"Enough said! Brothers in the 2D group! Give it your all, *Natsume's Book of Friends* and *Your Lie in April*! The grand prize must be ours next time!"

"Ha, 2D team, just lie there! We 3D team are already preparing our ultimate move! Next time, it will definitely be our stage!"

"I just received my living allowance from Director Yang today! No words needed! Loyalty! Working myself to the bone! For the Land of Light!"

"+1! Born a citizen of the Land of Light!"

"Consume rationally, brothers! Subsidies are good, but don't spend them recklessly! Director Yang wants us to live better lives!"

"I'm already looking at apartments near the company. The monthly subsidy is 1,600 yuan, which greatly reduces the financial burden! Thank you, Director Yang!"

……

At 8 PM, Starlight Video, Kingdom of Light section.

The first episode of "Natsume's Book of Friends" is now available online.
