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

Chapter 419 It's just a coincidence that the themes are similar.

In the office of the Land of Light, Yang Qian looked at the project progress data on the tablet and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"I didn't expect Group 2D to move so quickly."

The projects he assigned have already made significant progress.

Su Xiaoran stood to the side and explained with a smile, "Yes, we've been recruiting a lot lately."

"Besides mainland China, we've also recruited quite a few employees from the Japanese mainland."

Sakura Prefecture is a special administrative region formed due to historical reasons.

Its animation industry has a long history and a high degree of industrialization.

It has a large number of experienced and technically proficient animation professionals.

Starting in April, the Land of Light began recruiting employees from the Cherry Blossom Province.

Indeed, some animators from Japan have reservations about working in mainland China, feeling that it means leaving their homeland.

However, when they saw the welfare benefits offered by the Land of Light...

Salaries above the industry average, comprehensive benefits, clear career advancement paths, and opportunities to participate in top-tier projects.

Their attitude changed instantly.

"I am willing to serve the Land of Light for the rest of my life! City A is my second home! What is this distance compared to creating world-class animation!"

Some people even posted on their WeChat Moments on their first day at work.

The accompanying image shows the food and work environment at the Land of Light's cafeteria.

The comments section was filled with "envy" and "I want to go too".

Of course, we have not relaxed our recruitment efforts for outstanding talents from other provinces and cities in China.

However, the pace was somewhat controlled.

After all, we must leave some room for development and talent reserves for other small and medium-sized companies in the industry; we cannot exhaust the resources to catch all the fish.

Yang Qian nodded.

"Great, let's schedule these for release as planned. A lot of viewers have been asking for more updates lately."

Especially for the audience of anime aimed at girls.

Since the airing of "Cardcaptor Sakura", many male viewers have left comments.

I hope to see more similar works for girls that are well-designed, have adorable characters, and heartwarming stories.

One person commented: "Guangda, when are you going to give me the sequel to Cardcaptor Sakura that you owe me?"

Another person said, "Guangda, I'm a grown man who watches shoujo anime every day, and I don't even dare to let my roommate know."

Yang Qian replied with a dog emoji.

"Okay, I understand."

Su Xiaoran agreed.

"Also, it seems that Tencent Video is also launching anime aimed at girls recently, and I heard that it's quite a big production."

"Tanuki Entertainment is currently promoting an animated series based on the Arthurian legend."

Yang Qian smiled.

"That's good, more high-quality animations so that viewers can enjoy them."

"We just need to maintain our own pace and quality; there's no need to target anyone specifically."

"Um."

Su Xiaoran nodded.

At the same time, Tanuki Entertainment has invested a lot of resources in promoting its latest animation.

The Legend of King Arthur.

Its content revolves around King Arthur and the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.

The PVs released so far feature only handsome and stylish men.

The voice acting even featured a boy band from the entertainment industry.

Their average age is nineteen, and their combined Weibo followers exceed 100 million.

In the comments section, fans from all walks of life and those who admire the looks have already started a group activity.

"Looking forward to the younger brothers' new work! Their voices are so beautiful!"

"King Arthur is so handsome! Lancelot is so handsome! Gawain is so handsome! They're all handsome in their own way! I want them all!"

"Tanuki Entertainment, you've finally figured it out! You should have made an anime with all handsome guys a long time ago! Hehehe~"

"Waaaaah, these character relationships... I've already imagined a million words about the untold secrets of King Arthur and the twelve Knights of the Round Table (all sorts of pairings)!"

"Sister, here's a pen! Write quickly! Even the donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like this!"

Inside the Tanuki Entertainment office.

Zhang Mingzhi looked smugly at the ever-increasing number of pre-registrations for "The Legend of King Arthur" in the background.

It has already surpassed one million views in just a few days, and its popularity remains high.

A confident smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, that's how it should be."

Deep plot and artistic pursuits are all meaningless!

If you make good animation, you won't make money selling BL (Boys' Love) content.

King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table—what a wonderful concept!

Any random arrangement of character relationships creates a natural breeding ground for couples.

They don't even need to guide the creation of fan works; the fans just start celebrating on their own!

Once the hype builds up a bit more, we'll immediately release related merchandise.

Selling a King Arthur standee for 60 yuan isn't unreasonable, is it?

Knights' badges, 30 each!

Limited edition shikishi (art boards), 20 yen each!

Let's collaborate with that boy band again, release some autographed copies, voice cards...

This is incredible!

The operations manager repeatedly agreed.

"Mr. Zhang, your insight is brilliant! While the Land of Light is still focused on their special effects and shonen action films, this huge market for shoujo films is rightfully ours to capture!"

Tencent Video, Animation Division.

Wisteria is also paying attention to the new trends at Lizi Entertainment.

As a seasoned professional in the industry, she saw through Zhang Ming's scheme at a glance.

Using homoerotic content to attract followers + exploiting fandom culture + monetizing related merchandise.

"President Zi, Li Zi Entertainment is coming on strong this time, focusing on the female market and fan economy. Should we speed up the progress of our teen-oriented works, or adjust our promotional strategy?"

The assistant asked tentatively.

"Ignore them. Lizi Entertainment focuses on short-term traffic monetization, and the quality of their works may not stand up to scrutiny."

"We should never be wary of them."

"It is wisteria," the wisteria instructed.

"We still need to be careful of the Land of Light. Who knows what else they might pull out this time."

"It can't be that bad."

The assistant thought the wisteria was being a bit too cautious and laughed.

"Ms. Zi, aren't you being overly cautious?"

"The Land of Light has so many projects on hand right now, including Dyna for tokusatsu and JOJO for shonen action."

"Where would they find the energy to compete in the shoujo anime market? Even if they did, they might not be able to grasp it as precisely as Tanuki Entertainment..."

"Uh, the pain points of certain audiences."

"Better safe than sorry."

Wisteria picked up her coffee and took a sip.

She always felt that Ah-Guang wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.

Starlight Video Headquarters, Editorial Department.

"Dami, I've sent you the materials for the new animation."

When Da Mi opened the file and saw the two titles, her pupils dilated in shock.

He typed with trembling hands.

"Everbright, are you going to fight with Lizi Entertainment and Tencent Video again?"

Yang Qian replied instantly.

"How can you call this a fight? This is called friendly exchange."

Rice is ashamed.
