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

Three people were waiting for the elevator in the hallway.

Suddenly, the wisteria flower asked a question.

"When he said he would become the top in the industry within a year, how many people laughed at him?"

"You, me, all of us..."

Zhang Ming said something.

"But now it seems we're the ones being laughed at."

Then, he took out his phone, quickly typed out a message, and sent it to the operations director.

"Tanuki Entertainment's animation strategy has been completely adjusted. From now on, projects related to Land of Light will be given priority in scheduling without any compromise."

The elevator reached the first floor, and the three of them stepped out.

Their respective cars were already waiting at the entrance.

Before getting into the car, Zi Teng Hua glanced back at Zhang Ming.

"Mr. Zhang, it will be a pleasure to cooperate with you in the future."

Zhang Ming nodded.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Two cars, one on the left and one on the right, drove out of the Cultural Bureau compound.

On the way back to the Land of Light.

Su Xiaoran was driving, while Yang Qian sat in the passenger seat with her eyes closed, resting.

The carriage was very quiet.

Su Xiaoran finally couldn't help but say something.

"Director Yang, those three truckloads of scripts you just delivered were absolutely amazing! Penguin and Tanuki both went silent instantly."

Yang Qian didn't open her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

Su Xiaoran is right.

The moment he presented those three scripts, the outcome of the competition was already a foregone conclusion.

Both Zifanghua and Zhang Ming are intelligent people; intelligent people don't need to be persuaded.

They just need to see the facts.

And those three truckloads of scripts are the most undeniable fact.

That's fine.

Yang Qian said calmly, "It may not be easy in the future. The cooperation has begun, but the real challenge lies in the subsequent execution."

Su Xiaoran nodded thoughtfully.

After driving two more streets, she suddenly remembered another question.

"So you really intend to get the penguins and raccoons to cooperate with us?"

Yang Qian opened her eyes and turned her head to look out the window.

The lights of the pop-up experience store were still on in the distance at the lakeside square.

Looking out the car window, you can see a huge Fate/Zero poster swaying slightly in the night breeze.

"No."

He said, "We went out to sea together."

He paused, then added.

"The domestic market is only so big; if we continue fighting, it will just lead to internal strife."

"The meaning above is very clear."

"Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, let's go out and fight together. Penguin has the distribution channels, Tanuki has the industry chain, and we'll provide the content."

"The advantages of the three parties complement each other perfectly, so neither they nor we lose out."

Su Xiaoran said with a half-smile, "Do you think they'll cooperate obediently? After all, they're all big shots, used to being the main characters."

Yang Qian withdrew his gaze and leaned back in his chair.

"Yes."

Even former enemies can become friends if it can boost stock prices.

The executives at Penguin and Raccoon wouldn't turn down money.

Moreover, the Land of Light has official backing.

"Because wise people understand that if they follow the Kingdom of Light, they will have meat to eat."

"Besides, if given a choice, who wouldn't want to win without lifting a finger?"

A message popped up in the group chat of the Land of Light directors.

Guo Fan: [Director Yang has finally recruited some people! Today is a good day, I'm treating everyone to dinner.]

Hiroshi Nagano: [+1!]

A message popped up immediately after: 【Count me in! Count me in! I'll treat everyone to dinner! Finally, no more overtime!】

Tian Xiaopeng: [Eat, eat, eat! I have to eat! Finally, someone can share the pressure. You guys have no idea, back when I was working on the post-production of "Monkey King: Hero Is Back," I was working until 3 AM every day. By the way, where's Makoto Shinkai? What do you want to eat? @MakotoShinkai]

Makoto Shinkai replied a few seconds later: [Drawing. What do you want to eat? Anything is fine.]

Guo Fan: [That new barbecue place downstairs, Pang Hu's place, I almost went in yesterday because of the smell.]

Hiroshi Nagano: [Are you alone?]

Guo Fan: 【...Let's not expose each other's shortcomings, thank you.】

The next evening, in a small private room at the Land of Light's cafeteria.

Warm-toned lighting spilled onto the round table, and several hand-drawn original illustrations of Ultraman Tiga and Kuuga hung on the wall.

Yang Qian stood at the door, wearing a simple gray shirt, waiting for the guests to arrive.

Li Lin was the first to arrive, and as soon as he entered, he took two deep sniffs.

"Director Yang, the food in your cafeteria smells so good, I'm already craving it even before I've eaten there."

Yang Qian smiled and ushered him inside.

"Today's dishes are all the signature dishes of Master Chef Sui. Manager Li, please try them later."

"It's not over the limit, is it?"

"Don't worry, the reception standards are all set by higher authorities; there's no extravagance or waste."

Yang Qian answered in a very serious manner.

"You little brat, then I won't hold back."

Li Lin rubbed his hands together and casually found a seat to sit down.

The second flower to arrive was the wisteria.

She wasn't wearing her signature dark suit today, but rather a simple off-white coat, which made her look much softer.

After entering, she first looked around the private room.

His gaze lingered on the original hand-drawn paintings for a moment before he sat down, guided by Yang Qian.

She didn't speak, but her expression was much more relaxed than it had been at the meeting yesterday.

Zhang Ming was the last to arrive.

When he came in, he was holding a folder in his hand.

Yang Qian, with her sharp eyes, noticed the words "Akame ga Kill!" written on the cover of the folder.

Clearly, Zhang Ming went back and reviewed the script again yesterday.

Yeah, maybe it's been flipped through more than once.

"Mr. Zhang, let's not talk about work today, just have a meal."

Yang Qian smiled and offered a reminder.

Zhang Ming paused for a moment, looked down at the folder in his hand, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

He tucked the folder under his arm and coughed lightly. "I know, I just... grabbed it."

"Yeah, just doing it."

Yang Qian nodded, not exposing him.

Li Lin burst out laughing.

The four people sat down.

On the Land of Light side, core members such as Su Xiaoran, Nagano Hiroshi, and Guo Fan also arrived one after another.

Nine people sat around a large round table.

One steaming hot dish after another was served.

Ten dishes and one soup, plus a few refreshing seasonal side dishes.

Only beverages are available; no alcoholic drinks.

All told, it costs less than 100 yuan per person, which is hardly extravagant.

However, this is the pure cost of ingredients, without taking into account the culinary skills of a master chef.

Zhang Ming picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and his eyes lit up immediately.

He didn't say anything, but silently picked up another bite with his chopsticks, and then a third bite.

Zi Teng Hua ate in a much more refined manner, but after drinking two bowls of soup, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

He seemed much more lively.

Li Lin didn't stand on ceremony, eating and reminiscing at the same time.

"Director Yang, if your Kingdom of Light's cafeteria were open to the public, I'd come here every day to freeload."

Yang Qian smiled: "The cafeteria is currently limited in capacity and not open to the public for the time being, but Manager Li can come anytime and there will be plenty to go around."

As they exchanged toasts, the atmosphere shifted from awkward to lively, and from lively to warm.

The conversation gradually shifted from the taste of the food to the topic of work.

......

"Tiesheng, the doctor recommended an exoskeleton robot for you. Why don't you give it a try?"
