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

In City A in July, at 5:30 in the morning, the sky is already bright.

Outside the international convention and exhibition center, the first line of tourists began to wind its way out at dawn.

Before the security personnel could even finish pulling open the folding barriers, the crowd had already formed a long queue in the designated passageway.

No one pushed or shoved, no one cut in line. A few young people who had been queuing all night were dozing off against their backpacks. When their companions woke them up, their first reaction was to check their phones to see if the ticket QR code was still there.

A morning breeze blew from the river, carrying the scent of fish and coolness, causing the huge comic convention posters hanging by the roadside to billow slightly.

The poster displays the theme of this year's comic convention.

"The Kingdom of Light's Second Annual Summer Carnival - Let Every Passion Resonate."

At 7:00 a.m. sharp, the indicator lights on the entrance gates simultaneously changed from red to green.

It's open early again!

A cheer erupted from the crowd, it was unclear who started it.

Qi Ning stood on the media photography platform in the entrance plaza, and the camera shutter never stopped clicking.

He is a photojournalist for the local newspaper and also came to take photos at the first comic convention last year.

But that time he only brought one spare memory card, which wasn't enough, so he used his phone for half an hour.

He brought four this year.

In the video, the first person to pass through the turnstile was a girl with pigtails, wearing an orange T-shirt with "μ's" printed on the front.

Behind her was a boy with a backpack, a Soldier 76 tactical goggles pendant hanging from the backpack, and a half-finished cup of soy milk in his hand.

The two had a surprisingly similar first reaction after running through the turnstile.

They stopped at the same time, looked up and surveyed the entire exterior of the venue, which was covered in anime convention decorations, and then turned to each other and burst out laughing.

Qi Ning took the first photo of the day.

The convention venue is nearly twice the size of last year's.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau and the Convention and Exhibition Center of City A made great efforts to cooperate this time.

Traffic control plans were completed a week in advance for the roads surrounding the venue, and free bus lines covered the train station, airport and major transportation hubs in the city.

Each bus had a special anime convention sticker on its windshield, and the drivers spontaneously added a message to the onboard radio.

"Welcome to City A."

Visitors can enjoy a 20% discount on stays at designated hotels throughout the city by presenting their comic convention ticket QR code, and restaurants have also joined the discount alliance.

Some shop owners simply posted the discount codes on handwritten blackboards at the entrance of their stores.

A simple drawing of Ultraman's head was placed next to it.

"We're giving away a cup of plum juice to visitors who come into the store at the comic convention. It's hot, so drink more water."

Tickets cost 9.9 yuan.

When the price was officially announced, the comments section was filled with question marks.

The first one was only 9.9 yuan, so that was fine.

I can't believe it's still 9.9 yuan for the second time!

Is it really true that the ancestral laws are immutable?!

Keep in mind that 9.9 yuan isn't enough for a fast food meal, or even a month's membership on a video streaming platform.

But the Land of Light was decided just like that.

Inside the venue, all exhibition areas are now in place.

The main exhibition hall in the very center is a special exhibition area dedicated to Ultraman.

A statue of Ultraman Tiga, over ten meters tall, stands in the very center of the exhibition hall.

At the foot of the statue is a circular screen that plays the final episode of Ultraman Tiga in real time.

Next to the main exhibition hall is the Overwatch game experience area.

One hundred top-of-the-line mainframes were arranged in an arc, with each machine's waiting queue stretching for two hours.

A large real-time battle screen hangs on the wall of the experience area, broadcasting the current battle live.

These matches don't deliberately select players; whoever is matched up gets to play.

On the screen, a boy who chose D.Va got a pentakill after destroying his mech, and his headphones flew off his chair.

The queues at the surrounding sales area also formed long lines from the moment the museum opened.

This year's range of merchandise items is almost double that of last year.

One of the limited-edition items sparked huge controversy during the pre-sale stage.

The commemorative poster for episode 26 of "Ultraman Gaia" depicts the moment Fujimiya hands the light of the Sapphire Bracelet to my dream. The background features a dark purple wormhole and the shadow of Zolim, while the foreground shows two beams of light about to converge.

The poster's bottom right corner features a line of small print: "Can you understand the feeling of being betrayed by something you trusted?"

This is Fujimiya's original line. It is said that this line was printed at Yang Qian's insistence.

The first batch of posters sold out in a very short time after they went on sale.

Fans who didn't manage to get a poster slumped in the queue, looking like they'd missed out on a major life event. Those who did manage to get one walked out carrying the poster tube, their expressions like they were performing a sacred handover ceremony.

The themed photography area was also packed with people.

This is a venue prepared by the Land of Light for photography and cosplay enthusiasts.

The air conditioning was on full blast, the venue was free and spacious, and there were dedicated volunteers to maintain order.

There will be no disputes over the placement of the lamp holders.

Of course, thanks to the real-time reminders from volunteers, there will be no use of FLJ (flashcam) or inappropriate motion-guided photography.

If it really happens.

Sorry, there are police officers on duty right next to you. Why don't you go have a chat with the police officer?

The main stage activities officially began at 2 PM.

The first match was an Overwatch exhibition game, where eight amateur players who had emerged from the online qualifiers were divided into two teams and played against each other back-to-back on stage.

The best-of-three format brought the suspense to its limit, and the decisive game ended with an incredible play, prompting the entire audience to stand up and applaud for a full half minute.

The second event was a live Q&A session with the voice actors, featuring many voice actors from the National Flag of Light.

Although Miriam Yeung does not support the idolization of voice actors.

But occasionally, the voice actors under the flag of the Kingdom of Light should step out and show some intensity, so they can feel the love the audience has for them.

This will enable the production of more excellent works.

This time, they're serving electronic coffee to the employees.

Yang Qian stood on the side of the stage, holding her signature thermos cup in her hand.

Su Xiaoran stood next to him, the tablet screen displaying real-time updated passenger flow data.

The number of visitors in the first few hours of its opening day has already matched the total number of visitors last year.

Yang Qian glanced at it, nodded, and then looked back at the stage.

The voice actors on stage were taking photos with fans in the audience. One fan was so excited that he almost tripped on the steps when he went on stage.

In the evening, the official account of the Culture and Tourism Bureau of City A posted a status update with a panoramic aerial photo of the convention center.

On the ground, crowds of tourists flowed like colorful streams between the various exhibition areas.

The caption reads: "Nine yuan and ninety cents, five days, a city makes way for passion, this is summer in City A."

The top-rated comments in the comment section were quickly taken over by fans of the Land of Light.

"City A has really gone too far this time, offering free public transportation and a 20% discount on accommodation. I, an out-of-towner, feel so pampered that I feel embarrassed."

"I said it last year at the first event: A-Guang's comic convention isn't a comic convention, it's a large-scale offline fan meet-up. You won't lose out on 9.9 yuan, but you can buy a whole day of happiness."

"To correct you, it's five days of fun, and 9.9 yuan isn't really a purchase. It's like Ah Guang inviting you over to his house to play, and letting you decide what to buy for yourself."

"Although it's neighboring City B, I genuinely think City A's teamwork is unbeatable! City B, you should take a good look and learn from them!"

City B: Huh? I'm creating a Land of Light? Really?

Under the guidance of staff, the last group of tourists left in an orderly manner.

The volunteers waved goodbye to each departing figure at the exit, and the background music playing over the loudspeaker was the ending theme of "Ultraman Tiga".

As the earth gradually awakens, a ray of dawn breaks the silence of the night...

Yang Qian, standing in the temporary command office, sent a message to the work group.

"The data for the first day all exceeded expectations. Thank you all for your hard work. Let's continue tomorrow."

At the same time, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.

Is it possible to allow visitors to the anime convention to watch the final episode of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" at the same time?
