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

"Manager Li, what brings you here?"

Looking at Li Lin's eccentric demeanor, Yang Qian felt that Director Li's smile today was different from usual.

Li Lin did not answer immediately.

He carried the plaque into the reception room and stood solemnly in front of Yang Qian.

Grasp one corner of the velvet with both hands and lift it up with a unveiling motion.

The plaque is made of solid wood, using local old elm wood, with a rough texture and each growth ring clearly visible.

The sign features four large, hand-carved characters.

"The Melon Seller King - Ah Guang".

Next to it was a line of smaller print that read, "Serving the People - A Gift from the People's Government of City A".

Yang Qian's lips twitched immediately when he saw the sign.

"Who came up with this brand name? It's just too..."

"secretary."

Li Lin answered with a smile.

Yang Qian changed the subject abruptly, "Great! I like this one! I'll have someone hang it in the lobby downstairs in the company later, right next to those Best Animation Awards."

Li Lin couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"No wonder you're good at winning over the Party Secretary; your adaptability is truly impressive."

Yang Qian did not dwell on the topic of the melon-selling king.

He invited Li Lin into his office and then took out something he had prepared beforehand from the counter.

It was a plain-colored eco-friendly shopping bag, bulging with something stuffed inside.

Li Lin knew what was inside without even opening it.

It's most likely located in the vicinity of the Land of Light.

Upon opening it, it was indeed so.

The Mebius Transformation Device from the Land of Light, and the newly released Mebius Aura Bracelet.

A 1:1 replica, complete with sound and light effects. Rotating the crystal ball will produce the exact same Möbius strip activation sound effect as in the show.

"Manager Li, this is just a small token of my appreciation, you know what I mean."

Yang Qian handed the bag over.

Li Lin did not refuse; he made a "2" gesture.

I want two!

Yang Qian nodded without hesitation and added another bag.

"I'll transfer the money to you later. Same price as before, right?"

Li Lin placed the two bags side by side and took out his phone from his pocket to prepare to transfer the money.

Every time he came to the Land of Light, he was prepared to be exploited.

Now, an entire display case in his study is filled with transformation devices from all the generations of the Land of Light.

His wife is currently considering replacing the display case with one with glass doors because it's difficult to clean the dust that gets there.

Yang Qian accepted the transfer, put her phone back in her pocket, and prepared to continue chatting about everyday things.

But Li Lin's expression suddenly changed.

After confirming that no one else was in the office and that the door was closed, Li Lin put away his smile.

"Also, Director Yang, let me give you a piece of advice."

"This news hasn't been officially announced yet. I heard it from other sources. The Koreans might be preparing to take action."

Li Lin lowered his voice, his tone completely different from when he was talking about the surrounding area, "They may be going to crack down on the overseas platforms of the Kingdom of Light."

Yang Qian reacted much faster than Li Lin had expected.

"You mean Netflix, right?"

As of now, the number of overseas users of the Land of Light had exceeded 1.8 million before the premiere of "Ultraman Mebius".

This number, placed within the global streaming market, is something that no giant can ignore.

Netflix’s growth in the Asian market has slowed significantly in recent quarters.

The rise of the Land of Light's overseas platforms happened to occur during the same period.

This is clearly not a coincidence.

Li Lin had already prepared a plan beforehand; if Yang Qian mentioned information from various channels, he could help analyze it.

But Yang Qian's next words made him swallow back all his thoughts of analysis.

"Whatever, why should I avoid their sharp edge? It's just Netflix, let's just go for it."

......

Yang Qian is certainly not stupid.

Should the Land of Light fight Netflix alone?

He didn't have a fever.

Netflix is ​​a massive company with over 200 million global streaming subscribers and annual revenue of over $30 billion.

Self-produced content sweeps the Emmy Awards, and the IPs they hold cover the entire global content ecosystem, from Korean dramas to animations to Hollywood blockbusters.

Land of Light is truly unparalleled in the field of domestic animation.

However, in terms of global market channels, capital, and user base, it is several orders of magnitude smaller than Netflix.

A one-on-one fight against an opponent of this caliber would be thrilling, but it would also be suicide.

This kind of thing naturally involves Tencent Video and Lizi Entertainment.

In truth, these two platforms have benefited greatly from the Land of Light.

The live stream about "Hetan Town Watermelon" just ended last week.

The homepage recommendations on all three platforms were all content from the Land of Light, and each wave brought them substantial traffic and revenue.

Yang Qian never considered these things as personal favors; they were business collaborations, mutually beneficial and win-win situations.

But now that you've enjoyed so many benefits, and Netflix is ​​coming, it's time to get to work.

One hour later.

Penguin online meeting platform.

Encrypted links, triple authentication, and all participant lists were anonymized.

The confidentiality level of this meeting was marked as the highest by the technical team at Tencent.

The reason given was that it involved trade secrets and potential competitive strategies.

Yang Qian didn't really appreciate this system; he just found it a bit annoying to have to enter the verification code three times before entering the meeting.

His image lit up first.

The second frame shows wisteria flowers that light up.

Head of the animation department at Tencent Video.

The third frame was displayed a few seconds late.

Zhang Ming, head of the animation section at Lizi Entertainment.

"You two," Yang Qian said, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at the two familiar faces on the screen, "are you ready to fight Netflix?"

There was a silence on the screen for about two seconds.

The wisteria flower reacted first, raising an eyebrow. "Someone told you?"

"You found out too?"

Netflix recently signed exclusive partnership agreements with three South Korean animation studios.

Wisteria Flower said in a calm tone, "Netflix wants to grab market share in the Asian animation market, and the Land of Light is an unavoidable opponent."

"Let me add one more detail."

Zhang Ming continued, "When the overseas marketing department of Lizi was monitoring competitors last month, they found that Netflix's localization promotion budget in several key Southeast Asian markets has been collectively increased by more than 30% this quarter."

"Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam happen to be the three markets where the Kingdom of Light's overseas platform is experiencing the fastest user growth."

After hearing this, Yang Qian leaned back in her chair and laughed.

He knew all along that these two people wouldn't let him down.

Wisteria has access to channel data and industry connections.

Although Zhang Ming was quite stupid before, he must have some skills to have risen to the position of person in charge.

"Since the intelligence matches up, I'll just get straight to the point."

Miriam Yeung looked directly at the camera, her tone shifting from relaxed to serious, "The Land of Light going head-to-head with Netflix is ​​like throwing the game away. Add Penguin and Raccoon, and it's three against one."

Zhang Ming muttered to himself, "The Ultraman Gang?"

Yang Qian raised an eyebrow. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!"
