Crossover Anime: The Heroine is in Trouble? I Take Advantage of the Situation

"That camera work! I've learned so much!"

When both episodes finished airing, the entire office area erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

Everyone was so excited that their faces turned red. They were incredibly proud to be a part of such an outstanding production!

Just then, the minister's phone rang.

He answered the phone, and a moment later, he jumped up excitedly.

"Ratings! The ratings are out!!"

He roared at everyone with all his might, "The average number of online viewers for the first episode of Legal High has surpassed that of all prime-time dramas on all television stations in the same time slot!!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

"And that's not all! The peak viewership for the second episode broke all single-episode viewership records for Japanese dramas over the past five years!!!"

boom--!

The entire company was in an uproar!

Everyone hugged and screamed wildly, celebrating this moment that would go down in the history of Japanese television dramas!

In a corner, Megumi Kato watched two episodes with Seiji Fujiwara.

She was already completely immersed in the story.

Hearing these chilling accounts, she instinctively turned her head and looked at the man beside her in surprise.

—He created this script.

—He discovered this actor.

—He overturned the rules of the industry.

—He created this miracle.

And he accomplished all of this in just a few days.

At that moment, an unprecedented brilliance shone in Kato Megumi's calm and unwavering eyes.

Is this man a god?

Seiji Fujiwara felt her gaze, turned his head, and gave her a playful smile. He stood up, clapped his hands, and signaled for everyone to be quiet.

"Well done," he said casually. "Tonight's supper is on me. Also, the entire project team will get their bonuses tripled. Everyone in other departments of the company will get a share too."

Another wave of thunderous cheers erupted.

"Long live the president!!"

“Alright,” Seiji Fujiwara waved his hand, “Minister, the rest of the finishing work is up to you.”

After saying that, under the watchful eyes of countless admirers, he leisurely left the company with Kato Megumi.

That night, "Legal High" went viral online.

"A masterpiece! It's poised to be the number one masterpiece of the year!"

"My god, this plot is so exciting!"

"Fujiwara Seiji, a god forever! How many more surprises does he have in store for us to discover?"

Social media platforms, forums, and comment sections were flooded with praise for Legal High and effusive accolades for Seiji Fujiwara.

An era belonging to Legal High has officially begun.

……

……

The sudden emergence of Legal High was like a Category 12 superstorm, sweeping across the entire entertainment landscape of Japan with overwhelming force.

In the following weeks, Legal High's ratings soared, with each episode breaking its own record set by the previous one.

The memorable lines from the story have become popular phrases throughout Japan and are often talked about.

This is the deeply ingrained culture of mutual wound-licking in this country. If humans are kept as domesticated creatures for a long time, they will become like parasites.

You are people abandoned by the country, discarded citizens, elderly people who consume retirement pensions for the country's development. Because you have no value anymore, we sweep you together with a dustpan, herd you into a corner, and give you some mutton soup to shut you up.

You are nothing but kind-hearted parasites living off large corporations.

Komikado: So what!

So you crave pity? So you crave comfort? So you're happy when others treat you kindly? Don't you feel sorry for your ancestors, don't you feel guilty towards your descendants?

Let's not hold anyone accountable, avoid things we don't want to see, and just live together amicably.

However, if we want to reclaim a way of life that we can be proud of, we must face the realities we don't want to see and move forward with the awareness of being heavily wounded. That's what fighting is all about!

If you have any complaints, go to your grave!

Money isn't everything. Money is your way of getting revenge on your opponents, showing them your backbone, and reclaiming what has been taken from you and your trampled dignity. Nothing else matters.

-

Komikado: He is clearly pursuing money himself.

As a result, sycophantic politicians tout clean governance to these ignorant people, who then support this kind of politics. Consequently, the number of incompetent and ignorant politicians increases, while capable politicians are eliminated by the prosecutor's office.

So people began to lament again that Japanese politicians were no longer capable.

-

Genesis Company launched a series of derivative products, such as the [Kumikado Facial Expression Pack], [Kumikado Kensuke "Victory is Certain" series office supplies (including the "Fool!" desktop ornament), victory pointing pen, "Victory is Justice" gold-stamped notebook, Komikado's personal folder], [Mayuzumi Machiko "Morning Drama Heroine" struggle series (including the "Unyielding Justice" memo pad, rookie lawyer canvas bag, "Finding the Truth" magnifying glass keychain)], [Hattori-san's all-purpose merchandise (including "Hattori-san's Victory Recipe" and "Today's Proverb" calendar)], etc.

It sold out immediately upon release.

Orders piled up at the production plant, bringing Genesis Corporation an unimaginable amount of cash flow.

Other companies in the same industry were extremely envious and insanely jealous.

The male lead of this drama, Takuya Arima, went from an unknown actor in a small theater troupe to one of the most sought-after top male stars in Japan overnight.

Countless invitations for endorsements, advertisements, variety shows, and movies came flying in like snowflakes.

Takuya Arima's net worth increased more than a thousandfold in just one month.

However, he remained remarkably clear-headed and humble in the face of this sudden fame and fortune. In any public interview, he never hesitated to express his gratitude to Seiji Fujiwara and Genesis Inc.

"Without Mr. Fujiwara, I wouldn't be where I am today. He gave me a second life."

"I will always be a member of Genesis. As long as Mr. Fujiwara says the word, no matter where I am or what I am doing, I will come back immediately."

Privately, he even told the minister that he was willing to sign all his future entertainment contracts with Genesis at the lowest possible price.

His gratitude earned him the minister's great praise and also made Fujiwara Seiji think more highly of him.

……

to the opposite.

All dramas that aired at the same time as "Legal High" experienced a precipitous drop in ratings.

Advertisers on the television station withdrew their orders one after another, causing huge economic losses.

As a result, the actors' market value plummeted.

The TV station and film company executives who made the decision to jointly strangle the company became a laughing stock in the entire industry.

At the board's accountability meeting, they were berated by angry shareholders and ultimately all resigned, ending their careers in disgrace.

……

……

At a certain time.

In a mid-range villa in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo.

Minami Mori, a moderately famous actress, is wearing a face mask while watching a TV special about "Legal High" with her husband, Takafumi Wakaba, a well-known comedian in the industry.

“It’s terrifying,” Minami Mori exclaimed. “Seiji Fujiwara is a complete disruptor of the industry. One web series has turned the entire television drama industry upside down.”

“This is no longer just a simple disruption, Minami,” Takafumi Wakaba’s expression grew even more serious. “He has changed the rules of the game. It is foreseeable that more and more production companies will abandon television stations and embrace online platforms in the future… Our industry is about to change dramatically.”

As the two were reminiscing, a girl in a school uniform, expressionless and resembling a delicate doll, walked out of the room and headed towards the refrigerator.

She is their daughter, Wakaba Mutsumi.

He showed no interest in the industry news his parents were talking about, and simply took out a bag of mango juice, intending to enjoy it while practicing guitar.

But as she passed through the living room, the passionate voice of the TV presenter still reached her ears.

"...The creator of all this is none other than the peerless genius hailed as 'once in a millennium'—Fujiwara Seiji!"

"Fujiwara...Seiji?"

Ruoye Muku's steps paused subconsciously.

She seemed to have a vague recollection of the name, as if she had heard it before.

She tilted her head, a fleeting hint of doubt flashing in her otherwise calm eyes.

However, she quickly put the name out of her mind, sipped her mango juice, and returned to the music room.

However, the name Seiji Fujiwara was quietly imprinted in Mutsuki Wakaba's heart.

……

……

the other side.

Genesis Corporation, Legal Department.

Ken Sakaguchi, the always impeccably dressed and meticulous top lawyer, is methodically directing his team.

"Group A, file a defamation lawsuit against Weekly Bunshun, with a settlement of no less than 50 million yen."

"Group B, compile a list of all self-media outlets that are spreading rumors and defaming Legal High online, and send them lawyer's letters one by one. They must either issue a public apology or see you in court."

"Group C, compile a list of the inaccurate statements made by the commentators in those previous interview programs, contact their respective television stations, demand a public correction, and compensation for reputational damage."

His team is like a sophisticated war machine, efficiently and ruthlessly settling scores with the media and individuals who had previously taken advantage of his misfortune.

Given the immense social influence of Legal High, almost no one dared to take Genesis to court.

Settlement agreements with hefty 090 compensation payments flooded back to Genesis' legal department, bringing the company another substantial sum of money.

The greater gains, however, come from the business side.

The huge success of Legal High made Genesis Film & Television Company famous overnight.

Countless directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, and actors eager for opportunities flocked to this company, hoping to switch jobs and join one that could create miracles.

Genesis's film and television division expanded rapidly in a short period of time, causing those established companies great distress, yet they were helpless and could only curse Fujiwara Seiji as an unruly barbarian behind his back.

The three online platforms that collaborated also made a fortune.

The surge in user numbers and membership revenue caused their market value to multiply several times in just one month.

In one instance, the platform's president informed the protagonist in advance that some of the circulating shares had been released, allowing Seiji Fujiwara to enter the market at a low price and then sell them off as the stock price rose, reaping a large cash flow.

Not much, around three billion.

Of course, such behind-the-scenes deals are kept secret.

……

……

Although the media praised him as a "once-in-a-millennium genius" and a "leader of the times," his desk was piled high with countless interview and program invitations.

But Seiji Fujiwara declined all interviews.

For him, participating in the first season of the project was just an accident.

Today, the Legal High project has an excellent team, a loyal audience, ample funding, and a broad platform. It is already on the right track and no longer needs his protection.

He can also extricate himself from these trivial matters and return to the background.

Just as he turned his gaze to the girl dressed in a maid outfit, kneeling on the ground and meticulously wiping the floor, preparing to continue the "development" course that had been interrupted last time.

His phone vibrated slightly.
