Pokémon, but cultural invasion

"They taught me the meaning of loyalty: never forget all the people you have loved."
The story ends with Andy's son walking along the train tracks with a puppy.
Even after the movie ended and the credits rolled, not a single audience member left their seat.
There was no applause, no cheers, and no one stood up.
The husband silently wiped away his tears, the wife sobbed softly, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old child shed hot tears.
One by one, the audience members leaned against the armrests, their hands supporting their cheeks, tears streaming down their faces.
Many people didn't understand what had happened to them, and when they saw Parker and Hachiko reunite in the spring, tears streamed down their faces.
Many people grabbed tissues haphazardly to wipe their eyes, closing them and weeping.
It wasn't until staff turned on the lights and came into the screening room to remind the audience that it was time to leave that people began to tidy themselves up and get up to leave.
"Human emotions are often not as fervent as those of elves, so why are they all weeping today?"
The screen went dark, and N seemed to wake from a dream. He muttered to himself, raised his hand, and touched the wet streaks of tears on his face.
"I...cried?"
Chapter 181 N's Tear Glands Collapse
As film critics listened to the audience's uncontrollable sobs, they tore off the sticky notes they had written earlier and crumpled them into a ball.
The directors stared at the audience's intense reaction, speechless and lost in thought.
Tingxiang did indeed make a tragic film that brought tears to people's eyes.
In this film, they abandoned their previous fancy worldviews, sophisticated and unique narrative techniques, and all the gimmicks that would grab attention.
It tells a plain and uneventful story without many plot twists or turns, nothing more.
There are many films like this, but only Ting-hsiang returned to the original intention of storytelling, and what the directors felt most in it was sincerity.
The story unfolds in a straightforward and almost candid manner, with an unvarnished and fully informative filming style, and the actors deliver genuine emotions.
There was nothing else there.
But the effect was exceptionally good; it was like tear gas for the audience in the screening room, moving everyone to tears.
The directors were puzzled.
They believe that Tingxiang's films rely on novel settings, exciting plots, and ingenious techniques.
However, all of these ideas were overturned in "Hachi: A Dog's Tale". This film is different from the previous two works that shocked the film industry. They even have a kind of "I can do it too" feeling.
...
Raven City Cinema.
Little Ju sat in the middle row, crying silently, while Homiga patted her shoulder to comfort her.
However, Homiga herself wasn't in much better shape; her makeup was all ruined.
The staff outside the screening room looked troubled, while inside, the two owners of the museum were crying, one of whom was a supermodel who cared a lot about her image.
If embarrassing photos are taken, who will take responsibility?
Shinseon and the other Plasma Team members were choked with sobs and shocked as the man who looked remarkably like their king sat in the last row, tears streaming down his face.
The letter of forgiveness used such a terrible word as "whoosh" to describe the king, but the king was really crying sadly.
He was expressionless, neither laughing nor crying, but tears just kept flowing out.
Xinshan approached and observed him closely. Without a doubt, the man before her was their king.
They would never forget the half of their face that was visible beneath the mask.
Xinshan knelt on one knee, choking back tears as she spoke, "Our King...why are you here?"
N turned his head and realized that he had been discovered by his subordinates who had broken the rules.
He pressed his eyes, but why were tears streaming down his face even though he wasn't sad?
N has lived in that lush forest since he can remember. He rarely cries, or rather, he almost never cries.
That film seemed to have stirred something within me, causing my tear ducts to completely break down, as if I were about to unleash all the tears I had accumulated throughout my life.
"I'm just here to watch the movie. Please get up. There's no need for formalities."
"Yes!"
The doubts in Xinshan and the others could no longer be suppressed.
“Our king, Lord Quigish forbade Team Plasma from viewing Tsubasa’s work, yet you have appeared here.”
"Is there...some misunderstanding?"
N wiped away her tears. Regardless of what Quixote thought, some issues should be resolved at the higher levels and had not yet reached the point of being made public.
He shook his head and said, "I forgive your mistakes, so don't spread what happened today."
"Bearing in mind Team Plasma's teachings, we walk together on the path to liberating the Pokémon. Even if there are misunderstandings, we will clarify them."
"Yes!"
The team members responded enthusiastically.
N left in tears, constantly wiping his cheeks, wondering when his broken tear gland system would be repaired.
...
Smura bit his fingers, looking agitated, and paced anxiously.
Tingxiang made a tragedy, and the tragic films of the Golden Age were heavily criticized.
Directors thereafter shared a common understanding—movies should be exciting and enjoyable.
People won't waste an hour and a half of their lives just to have a good cry.
The effect of the film was indeed quite good; in any case, the audience around Smura cried their eyes out.
He paused, questioning whether it was feasible for Tingxiang to use the media to spread negative emotions at will.
Or are they attacking the filmmakers for their malicious intent or ill motives?
There was no time to hesitate, Smura reminded herself; if she was going to act, she had to be quick.
For the first time ever, Tingxiang made a mistake in the filming process, and Smura had to consider whether this might be his only chance in his life.
Hesitation leads to defeat...
?
Earlier, in Golden City.
The largest movie theater was booked by Izumi, who stood at the front desk, waiting for the arrival of the various dojo masters.
The first one to arrive was Daigo.
"Looking forward to your film. Tingxiang's first two works are as brilliant as gems."
Daigo's cheerful smile is genuine and refreshing.
"Trust me, I won't let you down."
The second one is Lijia.
"Long time no see, Izumi-ki."
Her tone carried a hint of resentment: "It's been so long, and you still haven't come to Yuhong City for a cup of flower tea."
"Definitely next time."
Quanshu chuckled.
He and Lijia had a wide range of collaborations, and he understood that she was joking.
Lijia suppressed her smile: "But to be honest, your rise has been too fast and too fierce."
“If Tingxiang was just a wealthy place that could be manipulated by others, things are completely different after Naz joined.”
"Although you cannot compare to the ancient financial families, you are still the leader of a newly emerging and powerful force."
"The expansion and development of Tingxiang will inevitably affect the vested interests of those who have already benefited. Be careful."
Quanshu's expression turned serious, and he said, "I understand, thank you for your concern, Miss Lijia."
“It’s not out of concern, but if something happens to you, our business partnership won’t be doing well either.”
Lijia left gracefully.
Next came Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, and Axing, who arrived around the same time.
"Director Izumi, don't let my ordinary appearance as a beautiful girl shop owner fool you. I actually made a movie a few years ago."
Xiaoxia enthusiastically offered herself up, blinking her eyes: "Look at me, do I have any roles that would suit you in your next movie?"
"Hey!"
Xiao Gang also rushed over: "If that's the case, I also have filming experience."
He took Izumi's hand and said, "Director Izumi, do you have any tough guy roles where the older sister is all lovey-dovey? I'm perfect for that!"
"And I!"
Ah Xing raised her hand: "Director, look, I'm a ninja. I'm proficient in poisoning, infiltration, and assassination, and I don't even need a stunt double!"
She said shyly, "Unlike Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, I'm not content with just a female ninja character who appears and disappears without a trace."
"I understand. We'll let you know when a suitable role becomes available."
The buzzing noise was making Quanshu's head spin.
"Then I'll leave it to Director Izumi."
The three of them happily entered the screening room.
Quanshu sneered, "The happier you are when you go in, the louder you'll cry when you come out."
He was the last to go in with Naz.
The gym leaders had already released their Pokémon and were eating popcorn while waiting for the movie to start.
"Naza, sit down too."
"In an immersive screening, the story will be even more captivating than what you see on set."
Title: Producer by Job, Kamen Rider by Side
(Main SC world view + appropriate stitching)
The man who was once Oma Zi-O accidentally arrived in the world of The Idolmaster, where he encountered girls who would change his life. He originally planned to help them reach the top and then leave gracefully, but in the process, his relationship with them changed.
Toru Asakura: "I forgot my wallet! Help me!"
Higuchi Enka: "You're already half an hour late, Mr. is so unpunctual!"
Hina Ichikawa: "hnn wants to go shopping with the producer later."
Chapter 182 Mewtwo: This is exactly what I wanted
As the warm spring sun rose over the winter night, Xiaoxia and Axing in the audience were already in tears.
Xiaoxia sniffled, "Poor Hachiko... Waaaaah..."
"Yes, thankfully there were tissues on the armrests of the seats."
Ah Xing wiped away her tears and choked out, "She's quite thoughtful."
Lijia also wiped away her tears with a tissue. Although she felt strange that the movie theater provided tissues, she was so touched that she didn't think too much about it.
Starfish, Crobat, Onix, Bellossom... a group of Pokémon huddled together and wept bitterly.
Shiny Metagross and Misty's Psyduck appeared calm on the surface, but Metagross's trembling eyes betrayed it.
