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

With the full cooperation of Zhou Jianguo's Wuling Automobile Factory.

The first batch of fifteen specially modified mobile projection vehicles quickly rolled off the production line and were delivered.

These vehicles, based on rugged and durable truck chassis, are equipped with independent power generation systems, high-brightness projectors, outdoor professional audio systems, and dedicated space for storing equipment and supplies.

The vehicles are uniformly painted with the eye-catching logo of the Land of Light Studio and the words "Animation to the Countryside".

Meanwhile, the selection of volunteers within the Land of Light has also been completed.

There are thirty people in total.

Two people per group.

Considering the arduousness of the mountain roads and the intensity of the work.

Yang Qian prioritized selecting male employees who were physically strong, adaptable, or had experience living in mountainous areas.

Yang Qian herself was also on the list.

"Director Yang, it's not appropriate for you to go in person."

Upon learning the news, Su Xiaoran rushed over to dissuade them.

Although she was unaware that Yang Qian was suffering from a terminal illness.

However, everyone in the studio knew that the boss had been chronically ill and physically weak.

She was genuinely worried that Yang Qian's health wouldn't be able to handle the conditions as they ventured deep into the mountainous region.

"fine."

Yang Qian waved his hand, his tone relaxed yet unquestionable.

"I feel much better recently."

"Moreover, the location I was assigned to is in the neighboring city of B, which is not too far away, and the road conditions are relatively better."

He originally wanted to choose a poor mountainous area within City A.

But Yang Qian discovered that City A, as the provincial capital, has developed rapidly in recent years.

Even in rural areas, the infrastructure is quite complete.

Every household has a small villa, and the area is fully connected to water, electricity, and the internet; it can hardly be considered a poor mountainous area.

On the contrary, the neighboring city of B is more mountainous.

There are still some rural villages and primary schools with inconvenient transportation and relatively difficult conditions.

"I've already arranged everything for the studio's upcoming work."

"Chen Yi is in charge of the initial preparations for the new 2D project, and Guo Fan is keeping an eye on the daily work of the special effects team. I believe they can handle it well."

Yang Qian looked at Su Xiaoran and gave her some instructions.

"During my absence, I'll be grateful if you could take care of the coordination and daily affairs within the studio."

Seeing Yang Qian's resolute attitude, Su Xiaoran knew that further persuasion would be useless, so she could only agree.

"Okay, please take good care of yourself! Contact me anytime if you need anything!"

……

City B, Baiyu Village, Baiyu Primary School.

This is the only complete primary school in the surrounding villages.

One of the natural villages is hidden deep in the mountains.

In recent years, with the implementation of poverty alleviation policies, the school buildings have been renovated.

The children's schooling conditions have improved considerably.

However, cultural and recreational activities, especially those suitable for children, remain severely lacking.

Principal Li Daguo is a middle-aged man with dark skin and a simple, honest smile.

When he received a notification from the village officials that a volunteer team called the Land of Light was coming to the school to show cartoons to the children for free.

He was both surprised and delighted.

This reminded him of the lively scenes when the commune's film projection team came to the village to show open-air movies when he was a child.

"Teacher A-Guang, thank you so much for coming all this way!"

Principal Li warmly shook Yang Qian's hand.

Looking at the young person in charge in front of me, I felt grateful.

"Principal Li, you're too kind. This is what we should do."

Yang Qian has great respect for this principal who has been dedicated to rural education for many years.

After a brief discussion, the screening time was set for 6 p.m.

At this time, the boarding students have just finished dinner and are in their free time.

Six o'clock in the evening.

On the playground of Baiyu Elementary School, a huge white screen has been erected, and the projection truck is parked steadily next to it.

The children carried small stools and, under the guidance of their teachers, sat neatly in front of the curtain.

Their little faces were filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Yang Qian personally adjusted the equipment, smiled gently at the children, and pressed the play button.

A familiar melody began to play.

It is "Miracle Again".

On the screen, footage from the first episode of "Ultraman Tiga" began to play.

When Golza bursts forth from the earth, when the statue of Ultraman Tiga is revived, when the giant of light stands tall upon the land…

The children's exclamations rose and fell across the playground.

Their eyes sparkled; they were completely captivated by this story of light and hope.

Similar scenes are playing out simultaneously in more than a dozen remote rural and mountainous primary schools across the country.

Some teams were showing "Ultraman Tiga".

Some are the exhilarating Kamen Rider Kuuga.

There are also some that are chivalrous and heroic, like "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Swordsmen".

The content may differ, but the impact and joy it brings to children are the same.

……

[Animation section content creator communication group].

"It's been a month, and Ah Guang hasn't made a single move. His account hasn't been updated either. Could he really be in trouble because of the suppression from capital?"

"There's still no news of new works from the Land of Light. Have they really given in? Bowed to capital?"

"@Dami, Dami editor, do you have any news about A-Guang? How is he?"

[Rice]: "I'm anxious too!"

I messaged Everbright several times, and he only replied that he was busy with an important project, but he didn't reveal a single word about what he was busy with or how he was busy...

"Being busy at least means that the person is safe and still working, which is a blessing in disguise."

"Ugh, the state-owned capital in China's entertainment industry is truly disgusting! They've completely blocked any channels for us to voice our opinions!"

The content creators in the group all felt that it was unfair and frustrating for A-Guang and the Land of Light.

Many of them tried to create videos to show their support, but the content was quickly throttled or even taken down.

At that moment, they deeply realized how insignificant an individual's power is in the face of a media machine controlled by capital.

Just then, a message suddenly appeared.

"Holy crap!!! Everbright updated its Weibo!!! Go check it out!!!"

A link was quickly sent to the group chat.

Everyone eagerly clicked on it.

It really is [A Guang]'s Weibo account.

[Ah Guang]: "Sorry to keep you all waiting. I've been busy with a new project for the past month. Here are some snippets of the project's progress to share with you."

Everyone's spirits were greatly lifted.

really!

Everbright did not give in; he was secretly preparing a new plan!

Is it a new Ultraman?

Or is it Kamen Rider?

Or is it a 2D animation like Rainbow Cat?

They excitedly clicked on the accompanying video.

The video begins with a view of the vast Loess Plateau.

The camera work has a raw, realistic feel to it.

"It's an outdoor shoot! It's tokusatsu! It's definitely a new tokusatsu!"

Tokusatsu fans went wild instantly.

However, as the video progressed, they realized something was wrong.

On the Loess Plateau, there are no monsters, no costumed actors, only a group of dark-skinned children.

They sat around a huge screen, intently watching something.

Upon closer inspection, the program playing on the screen was none other than "Ultraman Tiga".

Camera angle change.

Deep in the mountains of southwest China, children wearing bright red scarves are excitedly imitating lines and actions from the animated series "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Swordsmen"...

Unedited photos and authentic videos are pieced together.

The children in the picture are in different locations.

They were dressed simply, but their faces radiated genuine smiles.

That pure yearning for a compelling story and heroic dreams pierced through the screen and struck the hearts of every viewer.

Attentive netizens noticed that at least a dozen different mobile projection vehicles with identical paint schemes appeared in the footage.

This means that there are more than a dozen teams operating simultaneously.

And the background of these children, those school buildings, those villages.

All of this shows that they do not live in a wealthy area.

Just then, Yang Qian appeared in the video.

He stood beside a projection truck, with mountains and starry sky in the background. His face seemed a little thinner, but his eyes remained clear and firm.

"Hello everyone, I'm A-Guang."

His voice was calm.

"This is neither a new tokusatsu series nor a new anime."

"This is my new project, which I've named the 'Animation to the Countryside Project'."

He briefly explained the goals of the plan.

We aim to bring excellent animated works to children in remote mountainous areas where internet access is limited and cultural entertainment is scarce.

At the end of the video, Miriam Yeung faced the camera and made an appeal.

"The Land of Light's animation outreach program is still ongoing."

"We are well aware that our resources are limited, therefore, we are officially launching a volunteer recruitment drive across the community."

"If you also love animation, have hope in your heart, and are willing to contribute to the smiles of these children, you are welcome to join us and spread the light to farther places together."

This concludes the video.

But the video caused a huge uproar online.

The Weibo hot search list was instantly flooded with related topics.

#AnimationGoesToRuralAreas#

#Land of Light and the Smiles of Children#

#Ah Guang's sense of social responsibility#

Countless netizens were moved by the social responsibility of the Land of Light and spontaneously became its advocates.

It was widely shared, commented on, and liked.

"I'm devastated! So this is what A-Guang has been doing for the past month!"

"This is the kind of vision cultural workers should have! In contrast, the only thing the domestic entertainment industry's capital does is censorship—it's disgusting!"

"Seeing the light in the children's eyes when they watched 'Ultraman Tiga' made me cry..."

"Sign up! I want to sign up to be a volunteer! Count me in!"

Public opinion shifted instantly.

Less than an hour after the video was released.

The official Weibo account of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China published a long article titled "Art and Literature for the People, Illuminating the Path of Childhood".

The article highly praises the Land of Light Animation Studio as "a model of a new era cultural enterprise with vision, responsibility, and warmth."

It clearly states that "the fruits of cultural development should be shared by all the people, and no child should be deprived of the right to experience excellent cultural works during their childhood."

The positive significance of the "Animation to the Countryside" program in enriching the spiritual and cultural life of children in remote areas, enlightening their minds, and spreading positive energy was fully affirmed.

The official stance is clear: they've officially entered the fray and set the tone of support.

The previous attempts at capital blockade, industry boycotts, and malicious smears have proven to be pale, powerless, and utterly ineffective.

Now, it's the turn of those domestic entertainment capital firms to feel uneasy and restless.
