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

Chapter 323 The Light of Pleasure Project

Inside the conference room of the Land of Light.

Two special visitors arrived.

Zhou Lin and Zhou Dali sat side by side on the sofa, with two freshly brewed cups of coffee on the coffee table in front of them.

There was also a meticulously packaged men's suit.

Su Xiaoran sat opposite her, slowly sipping her coffee.

She glanced at the suit, then at the awkward expressions of the two young men opposite her.

"Sister Xiao Ran."

Zhou Lin finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Do you really think Mr. Guang would like her like this?"

Su Xiaoran put down her coffee cup and elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth.

"You didn't come to see me just to show me suits, did you?"

Zhou Lin and Zhou Dali exchanged a glance.

In his eyes was the guilty look of someone who had been seen through.

"Um... Sister Ran."

Zhou Lin put the tablet aside and said seriously:

"Teacher A-Guang's birthday is coming soon."

"We wanted to...give him a surprise."

Su Xiaoran raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Birthday?"

She paused.

"Director Yang never celebrates his birthday."

"That's why we have to go!"

Zhou Dali slapped his thigh and leaned forward.

"Think about it, Mr. Guang is busy making animations, shooting tokusatsu, and developing games every day, and he doesn't even remember his own birthday."

"Shouldn't those of us who were moved by his works do something in return?"

Zhou Lin continued:

"Our plan is to invite him out for dinner on his birthday."

"Then a few of us close friends got together for a simple celebration."

She paused, then added:

"I, Dali, Professor Nagano Hiroshi... and Kenshi Yonezu and ADO, it's all settled."

After listening, Su Xiaoran remained silent for five seconds.

Then, she slowly began to speak:

"not enough."

Zhou Lin was stunned.

"what?"

"I said, it's not joyful enough."

Su Xiaoran stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the employees coming and going downstairs. "Have you ever thought about who Director Yang is?"

"He is the founder of the Kingdom of Light."

"He is the creator of Ultraman."

"He is the one who makes countless people believe in the light."

She paused.

"How can his birthday be just a meal with a few friends?"

Zhou Lin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"So... what does Sister Ran mean?"

Su Xiaoran smiled slightly.

There was a sense of joy in that smile as it revealed the planning of a major undertaking.

"If we're going to do it, let's do it big."

"So big that he'll never forget it in his life."

It was 3 p.m. that day.

An encrypted chat group called "Joy of Light" was quietly established.

The group member list is truly impressive.

Su Xiaoran, Hiroshi Nagano, Ryu Manatsu, Kenshi Yonezu, ADO, Duotian Huang, Jiu Zhao, Mingrui Zhou, Yi Chen, Fan Guo...

In addition to the heads of each department, there are also the core backbone members of each department.

A total of forty-seven people.

Of course, the park manager, Li Lin, is also indispensable.

Su Xiaoran sent the first message in the group:

[Su Xiaoran]: Everyone, Director Yang's birthday is coming up soon. This time, we're going to give him a surprise. A surprise worthy of his status as the founder of the Kingdom of Light.

Three seconds later.

[Hiroshi Nagano]: Finally! Hikaru-sensei's birthday must be celebrated properly!

[Matsu Ryu]: Just tell me what you need me to do, I can even perform a Leo kick for fun. (laughs)

Kenshi Yonezu: I could compose a unique piece for this.

[ADO]: I can sing!

[Huang Duotian]: I'll sing whatever Mr. Yonezu writes!

[Sui Wubai]: I can take care of the catering!

[Wu Dashan]: I can handle the on-site setup! The special effects crew can use any props they want!

[Liu Liang]: Can I... uh, I'll be in charge of clapping?

[Guo Fan]: I can take care of filming and recording! I guarantee to capture every single moment!

The group chat was filled with jubilation.

Li Lin's reply directly demonstrated what it means for the government to have such a large-scale operation.

"The park and relevant departments in City A provide full support and unconditional cooperation regarding the venue, all necessary administrative approvals, and security."

"Hall 1 of the City A International Convention and Exhibition Center has been reserved and cleared for the next week."

The atmosphere in the group chat instantly ignited.

Everyone chimed in with their opinions, and soon a general plan was finalized.

Processes, division of labor, timelines, contingency plans...

No matter how small the matter, it was all implemented.

Finally, Su Xiaoran sent a message:

[Su Xiaoran]: By the way, starting today, all participants should remain silent on social media, not post any content related to the birthday, and not reveal any whereabouts.

[Huang Duotian]: Understood! Mystery is the prelude to a surprise!

[Hu Pangbin]: Isn't this too deliberate? Won't it lead to over-interpretation?

[Liu Liang]: Actually... not many people are paying attention to our every move, right? Isn't Director Yang himself the biggest source of traffic in the Land of Light?

Everyone: "..."

It's a bit harsh, but damn well, it makes sense.

The next few days.

A strange phenomenon has emerged on the Internet.

Various celebrities from the Land of Light series, who are usually active on Weibo, Douyin, and Bilibili, have suddenly "disappeared".

Hiroshi Nagano's daily workout routine has stopped.

The fighting tutorial videos by Zhenxialong have been interrupted.

The live stream announcements for Kenshi Yonezu and ADO have been cancelled.

Even the official Weibo account of the Land of Light has changed from posting three to five updates a day to posting only one promotional post per day.

At first, no one paid attention.

But by the fourth day, netizens finally realized something was wrong.

The Weibo hashtag #TheBigShotsOfTheLandOfLightDisappeared en masse# quietly climbed to the tail end of the trending topics list.

"Am I just imagining things? Hiroshi Nagano hasn't posted anything for 72 hours! The last time he did this was when he was filming in seclusion!"

"Matsu Ryu too! He used to post a video of Leo's training moves every day!"

"Kenshi Yonezu and ADO's new song was supposed to be released this week, but there's been absolutely no news!"

"The weirdest thing is the official Weibo account of the Land of Light! It used to post funny stories from the park and daily life of the employees, but now it's like a robot!"

"What happened? The Land of Light has been kidnapped by Babar? (laughs)"

Various speculations began to appear in the comments section:

"I heard... the Land of Light might be going public? Is that why all the big shots are busy?"

"Go public? Does the Land of Light lack that little bit of money? Their cash flow is frighteningly healthy!"

"Could it be... a conflict within the core team? A mass strike? No way!"

"Don't jinx it! I think this sounds like... a prelude to something big!"

"I bet five packs of spicy strips it's a brand new creation! A super blockbuster!"

"Is it the Ultraman movie? Or LoveLive! Season 2?"

"Whatever it is, someone from the Land of Light, please say something! My curiosity is about to explode!"

This strategy of "collective silence" has ironically raised netizens' expectations to their peak.

Meanwhile, inside the Land of Light.

Preparations for "Joy of Light" are in full swing.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Yang Qian arrived at the company as usual.

As soon as I entered the office, Su Xiaoran pushed the door open and came in.

"Director Yang, there's an emergency."

"explain."

"There's been a problem with the overseas business division."

Su Xiaoran handed over a document.

"The release of Ultraman Tiga in North America has encountered some copyright disputes."

"The other party requires us to hold a video conference to negotiate before 2 pm today."

Yang Qian took the document and glanced at it.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"You're only saying this now?"

"They also notified us at the last minute."

Su Xiaoran remained expressionless.

"The meeting will be held in the business conference hall of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, where the equipment is more professional."

"The car has been arranged."

Trusting in Su Xiaoran's competence and the importance of overseas affairs, he did not ask any further questions.

"Okay, let's go."

Half an hour later.

The car was parked at the entrance of the International Convention and Exhibition Center in City A.

Yang Qian got out of the car and, guided by Su Xiaoran, walked towards the business passage on the side of Hall 1.

The corridor was deserted.

Is nobody here today?

Yang Qian asked casually.

"Yes, there are no other events at the convention center today."

Su Xiaoran answered naturally.

The two walked to the main entrance of Hall 1.
