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

Thursday morning, in front of the Qushui Lanting Resort Hotel.

The boss, Zhou Jianguo, was already dressed and waiting eagerly.

The day he learned that Yang Qian had agreed, he was so excited that he barely slept a wink all night.

On Thursday, he personally arrived at the hotel before dawn to repeatedly check all the preparations, striving for perfection.

When the bus bearing the Qushui Lanting logo pulled up at the door, Zhou Jianguo immediately straightened his collar and hurried over to greet it.

The first person to get off the car was Yang Qian.

She looked younger than I had imagined, and her face was a little pale.

"Teacher A-Guang! Welcome, welcome! You must be tired from your journey!"

Zhou Jianguo warmly extended his hands.

Yang Qian shook hands with him, her tone gentle.

"Mr. Zhou, you're too kind. Just call me Yang Qian."

"We are so grateful for your hospitality and thank you so much for organizing our team building activity."

"Not at all, it's an honor to have you here!"

"Quickly, don't keep everyone waiting at the door, please come in, please come in!"

Zhou Jianguo quickly stepped aside to lead the way.

Stepping into Qushui Lanting, even Yang Qian, who doesn't care much about material enjoyment, had to admit that this place truly deserved its title as the pinnacle of luxury.

The environment is elegant and tranquil, and the service is meticulous.

It was already past nine in the morning, but the 24-hour buffet restaurant was still serving a hearty breakfast.

From Chinese-style congee, noodles, and various side dishes to Western-style bread, salads, ham and eggs, sausages, and steaks...

It's even more luxurious than the breakfast at some five-star hotels.

You can even see the chefs preparing the food live in the transparent kitchen.

"Director Yang, come, come, try our local specialty: authentic black pork steamed buns, made fresh to order by our master chef!"

Zhou Jianguo personally brought over a basket of freshly steamed buns.

The xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) had thin skins and generous fillings, with delicate pleats at the top, emitting an enticing aroma of wheat and meat.

"Mr. Zhou, this..."

Yang Qian wanted to decline, saying she had already eaten breakfast, but the aroma of the steamed buns was so tempting.

"Then I'll try one."

After eating one, the meat is firm and chewy, the soup is delicious and not greasy, and the noodles are soaked with the meat juice, making for an excellent taste.

Under the delicious onslaught of steamed buns, Yang Qian unknowingly finished an entire basket of them.

"Director Yang, is the taste alright?"

Zhou Jianguo asked with a smile.

"It tastes very good."

Yang Qian praised him sincerely, though she seemed a little embarrassed.

"But I did eat this morning, and I really can't eat any more."

"No problem, no problem, I'm glad you like it! Just scan the code to order anytime you want, and I'll make it for you right away."

Zhou Jianguo waved his hand heartily.

Yang Qian remembered the important matter.

"Mr. Zhou, since everyone has just arrived and is still settling in, why don't we take care of the matter you mentioned earlier?"

Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up.

"That's great! I have a private lounge here, shall we go there?"

"Can."

Upon arriving at the lounge, a figure greeted me as soon as the door opened.

She was a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Mr. A-Guang! I finally met you in person! I absolutely love your work!"

"I love Ultraman Tiga, Kuuga, and the newly released Rainbow Cat!"

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly with excitement.

"Xiaolin, don't be so disrespectful."

Zhou Jianguo scolded him verbally, but his eyes were full of doting affection.

"It's alright, Mr. Zhou."

Yang Qian smiled gently at the girl.

"Thank you for your kind words, Zhou Lin."

"Teacher A-Guang, you can just call me Xiao-Lin!"

Zhou Lin smiled brightly.

Immediately, their attention was drawn to Nagano Hiroshi, Yoshikami, and others who walked in behind Yang Qian.

She excitedly recited their names from the play one by one.

"Hey! It's Daigo! Rena! Yusuke! Sakurako-neechan!"

It's clear that she has genuinely watched every single one of them and deeply loves these characters.

Yang Qian then introduced Su Xiaoran and the other voice actors from the Seven Swords who came in later.

Not all of them have appeared in the show yet, so this is a little exclusive treat for this little fan.

The private lounge is very large, and even with so many people coming in at once, it doesn't feel crowded.

Zhou Lin took photos and signed autographs with everyone.

He even chatted with Yang Qian for a long time, discussing everything from the plot to his understanding of the character.

He also showed off his fan art and all the official merchandise he had collected.

Her enthusiasm was so overwhelming that even the usually composed Yang Qian was somewhat overwhelmed.

"Xiaolin, Teacher Aguang has other things to discuss. Why don't you talk to Daigo and Lina for a while?"

Zhou Jianguo stepped in to defuse the situation at the right time.

"Okay, fine."

"Teacher A-Guang, I'll come find you again later!"

Zhou Lin was a little reluctant, but she still obediently agreed.

Upon arriving at Zhou Jianguo's spacious office, Yang Qian accepted the hot tea offered to her and remarked with emotion.

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Zhou. Your daughter is truly full of enthusiasm."

Zhou Jianguo shook his head.

"Director Yang, I should be the one thanking you."

Yang Qian was slightly taken aback: "Huh?"

Zhou Jianguo took a deep breath and slowly recounted the story behind it.

Zhou Lin is his only daughter; his wife passed away early.

In order to provide Zhou Lin with a better life, he was busy with his career and neglected to spend time with her.

They made money, but their daughter developed severe depression at some point.

Despite spending a lot of money to hire the best psychologists, the situation is still fluctuating.

Zhou Lin even engaged in self-harm, and the relationship between her father and daughter once plummeted to a freezing point.

Until Zhou Lin accidentally saw "Ultraman Tiga".

"It is the light and hope that your work reveals."

"That spirit of believing in the light even in darkness and fighting bravely gradually pulled her back from that closed and hopeless world."

Zhou Jianguo's voice was choked with emotion.

"She started to be willing to communicate with me; we watched TV series together and discussed the plot..."

"Until one day, she called me 'Dad' again..."

This man, who once dominated the business world, now had tears glistening in his eyes.

A father who is incredibly grateful for his daughter's rebirth.

Yang Qian listened quietly, deeply moved.

He created Ultraman Tiga simply to save himself, for a glimmer of hope.

He never imagined that this work could possess such powerful force, penetrating the screen and illuminating a young life mired in darkness.

"Mr. Zhou, you flatter me."

"Xiaolin was able to get through this thanks to your unwavering love and care, as well as her own strength."

Yang Qian said sincerely.

Zhou Jianguo waved his hand, took out a document that had been prepared in advance from the drawer, and pushed it in front of Yang Qian.

"Director Yang, this is a partial share transfer agreement for Qushui Lanting."

"It's not much, but it represents a small token of our appreciation from Xiaolin and me. Please accept it."

Yang Qian didn't even glance at the contents of the document before pushing it back, her attitude resolute.

"Mr. Zhou, this is unacceptable."

"Helping Xiaolin was completely unintentional; it's a stroke of luck for the artwork. This gift is too heavy for me to accept."

Zhou Jianguo was stunned. He had anticipated all sorts of scenarios, but he never expected Yang Qian to so readily refuse such a huge sum of money.

"Director Yang, this... I really didn't expect this at all."

"How about I invest in the Kingdom of Light Studio instead? I'll only take 1% of the shares, and I won't want any dividends or say in the business."

"Mr. Zhou, do I look like the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others?"

"But……"

"If Mr. Zhou insists on expressing his gratitude..."

Yang Qian looked at the other person and said seriously.

"Then please continue to support the official version."

"For creators, the audience's love and respect for their work is the best reward."

"I think Xiaolin would agree with this approach as well."

"Support genuine products? That's all?"

Zhou Jianguo was stunned again; the condition was so simple that he could hardly believe it.

"that's all."

Yang Qian nodded affirmatively.

Zhou Jianguo took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart.

"Okay! Director Yang, I promise you! I'll arrange it right away, with all our stores and rest areas playing 'Ultraman Tiga,' 'Kuuga,' and 'Rainbow Cat' on a loop!"

"All employees must support genuine software, and the company will reimburse the expenses."

Yang Qian thought of the high-end bathhouse playing "Ultraman Tiga".

This inexplicable sense of incongruity.

"Director Yang, if you're unwilling to accept either shares or investment, then how about this?"

"In the future, whether you come to Qushui Lanting on your own or as part of the Kingdom of Light Studio, whether it's for team building or personal consumption, you will be charged the discounted price offered this time."

"You can't refuse this anymore!"

This time, Yang Qian did not refuse.

"Thank you very much for your kind offer, Mr. Zhou."

Refusing twice in a row would be truly heartless to refuse again.

Moreover, this offer is very tempting.

"Haha, I'm the one who should be saying thank you! Xiaolin will be so happy to know!"

Zhou Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, then, as if remembering something, picked up his phone.

"By the way, Director Yang, I remember your studio is in that old industrial park in the east of the city, right? Please wait a moment while I make a call."

He walked to the window and whispered a few words to someone, then returned with an even wider smile.

"What a coincidence, the owner of that industrial park is my childhood friend, and I just greeted him."

"From now on, all utilities and rent for the Land of Light Studio there will be free! If the current building isn't enough, you can use any of the vacant buildings next door!"

Yang Qian was genuinely surprised this time; she hadn't expected it to turn out like this.

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind:

[Ding! Detected that the host led all employees in a relaxation exercise, effectively alleviating work fatigue and having a positive impact on the long-term healthy development of the studio.]

[Special Reward: Malignant Cell Erosion Level Reduced by 1%!]

A familiar warmth quietly flowed through my body.

Current malignant cell erosion level: 47%

Miriam Yeung: This works too?

Organizing a team-building activity can even reduce cancer cells.

The way this system determines rewards is really...
