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

Chapter 35: A good creator is one who digs a hole but doesn't fill it in.

The original Ultraman series garnered a high score of 9.5 on Starlight Video after only four episodes aired.

Although it falls slightly short of the near-divine 9.9 rating of "Ultraman Tiga".

However, considering its retro and simple style and relatively simple skill effects.

This score has already proven the excellent quality of "Ultraman".

What you need to know is...

In the field of cultural creation, producing a phenomenal work with a rating of 9.0 or higher is extremely rare.

That's enough to feed a team for several years.

But the Land of Light animation studio is like a perpetual motion machine.

They have consistently produced high-scoring works.

Ultraman Tiga (9.9), Kuuga (9.8), Rainbow Cat (9.85), and now Ultraman Tiga (9.5).

This ability to consistently produce top-tier content is truly terrifying.

The capital market reacted most directly to this.

Starlight Video's stock price hit the daily limit for two consecutive days due to the continued popularity and massive traffic brought by the new Land of Light anime.

The platform's top executives were overjoyed, further solidifying their determination to fully support the Kingdom of Light.

However, if we're talking about the most discussed works among core animation enthusiasts and on various forums recently, it's not "Ultraman".

Instead, it was the anime "EVA" with its inhumanly fast update pace.

The snail-paced release of only one episode per day has left fans, who are used to the Land of Light's generous and satisfying style, feeling utterly frustrated and anxious.

But there's no way around it; its quality is simply irresistible.

After only two episodes aired, "EVA" easily surpassed the 10 million total views.

Its opening theme song, "The Cruel Angel's Thesis," stood out in the music scene with its stirring melody and metaphorical lyrics.

The number of views also exceeded ten million.

"Guangda! I'm begging you to release the audio download of 'The Cruel Angel's Thesis'! I want to listen to it on repeat until I die!"

"I always felt that this drama by Guangda was anything but simple. The lyrics of the opening theme are packed with religious symbolism and philosophical vocabulary; it's incredibly informative!"

"I agree with the comment above! This is definitely more than just a mecha anime!"

"Agreed! Especially the second episode, the scene where Unit-01 went berserk and tore apart the Angels, it gave me goosebumps!"

"No wonder Guangda specifically noted in the opening credits that it is recommended for viewers aged 16 and above. The atmosphere and depth are indeed difficult for young children to understand, and they may even be frightened."

As netizens have noticed.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

The anime "EVA" is filled with heavy content about psychological trauma, alienation of humanity, and religious metaphors, making it unsuitable for young viewers.

Fortunately, the entertainment rating system in this world is relatively well-developed.

When filling out the target audience form, Yang Qian clearly indicated that the appropriate age range was sixteen years and above, thus avoiding unnecessary controversy.

The first episode of "EVA" is just a prelude.

It sets up a science fiction background where the world is on the verge of destruction, mysterious giant creatures called "Angels" are attacking, and humanity can only rely on giant humanoid weapons called "EVA" to fight back.

It wasn't until the second episode that its true fangs were revealed.

The protagonist, Shinji, is a sensitive, cowardly 14-year-old boy who longs to be loved but is also afraid of getting hurt.

I was practically forced to sit in the cockpit of Unit-01.

Without any systematic training, he connected with EVA Unit-01 through natural synchronization and faced the Third Angel.

However, the harshness of actual combat far exceeds imagination.

Due to Shinji's fear and inexperience, Unit-01 suffered a severe head injury, stopped moving, and Shinji fell into a coma.

Just when everyone thought defeat was inevitable, Unit-01 suddenly went berserk.

Like a wild beast breaking free from its cage, it tore apart the powerful Third Apostle with its bare hands in a ferocious display of savagery.

The scene was quite bloody.

After the battle, Shinji wakes up in the hospital and, facing an unfamiliar ceiling, falls into self-doubt.

Shinji was then arranged to live with his beautiful older sister, Misato Katsuragi.

Prologue, End.

Just as Yang Qian designed, the first two episodes of "EVA" are merely a prologue.

In reality, it is a philosophical work disguised as a science fiction mecha story that delves into human psychological trauma, alienation in parent-child relationships, the meaning of individual existence, and the collective unconscious.

Currently, most viewers are still immersed in the visual impact and sci-fi setting.

Yang Qian was very much looking forward to it.

As the subsequent plot unfolds, the true meanings of the "Human Instrumentality Project," the "AT Field," and the "Wall of the Heart" are revealed one by one.

What expressions will the audience members, who are engaged in this heated discussion, display?

Just thinking about it makes me incredibly happy!

……

Light Kingdom Studio, Yang Qian's office.

"Director Yang, are you sure netizens won't send you razor blades after they find out the truth?"

Su Xiaoran looked at Yang Qian with a resentful expression.

She is not only the voice actress for Asuka, but also the voice director for the EVA project.

Su Xiaoran had already read the complete script and part of the finished film.

It has to be said that my boss is truly a genius.

But this show has way too many plot holes.

Moreover, many of the plot points in the drama are quite controversial.

"It's not a big problem."

Yang Qian picked up his teacup and calmly took a sip.

"I believe in the audience's ability to accept and interpret."

"Moreover, a work that can provoke deep thought and widespread controversy is a truly vital work."

"But many of the settings and endings are just too..."

"And," Yang Qian interrupted her.

"I never said I wouldn't fill in the gaps."

EVA is more than just a TV series.

He still has old theatrical versions like "Death and Rebirth" and "True Love" in his mind.

Even the new theatrical series "Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone," "Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance," "Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo," and "Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo" with redesigned art style and altered plots, were used as backup plans.

Are viewers dissatisfied with the TV series ending?

No problem, we have multiple theatrical versions available.

Do you also feel unsatisfied with the theatrical version?

It's okay, there's a final chapter to give you a relatively satisfactory ending.

There's always a "complete" version that will satisfy you.

"Alright..."

Seeing Yang Qian's confidence, Su Xiaoran could only swallow her worries.

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Since Director Yang dares to do this, he must have planned it in advance.

She changed the subject and handed over the tablet computer.

"Director Yang, this is an internal notice from Tencent Video regarding Yuanshanke."

Yang Qian took the document and glanced at it. The document was a notice that Yuanshanke had been dismissed and held accountable for "using his position to engage in unfair competition".

Such internal company notices are usually not leaked.

The fact that this message was sent to the Land of Light at this moment speaks volumes about the goodwill it conveys.

"understood."

Yang Qian responded indifferently, without further comment.

He wasn't the type to hold a grudge, so since the other party had already made their stance clear, he went along with it and didn't pursue the matter any further.

Having leverage over the other party is far more strategically valuable than a complete breakdown in relations.

"in addition."

Su Xiaoran continued her report, her tone becoming serious.

"Tencent Video's animation department has appointed a new head, whose nickname is Wisteria."

"She was very high-profile after taking office, publicly declaring that she would gather the group's strongest resources to create a martial arts animation epic that surpasses 'Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Swordsmen' in every aspect."

She paused, then added, "They even stated in media interviews that they welcome the Kingdom of Light to launch a challenge at any time."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qian raised an eyebrow slightly.

Instead of anger, his face showed a rather interested smile:

"Oh? There's such a good thing?"

"Director Yang, you're not angry?"

Su Xiaoran was somewhat surprised by Yang Qian's reaction.

"What are you angry about?"

Yang Qian smiled.

"A head-on confrontation, letting strength decide the outcome—how interesting!"

"This is a healthy competitive environment, and it can also promote the overall improvement of domestic animation standards—it's a good thing!"

"Go and call Chen Yi here. Tell him to stop slacking off; there's a tough battle ahead."

Chen Yi at this moment.

[Chen Da Miao]: "Hello, do you offer custom-made car wraps featuring Rei Ayanami?"

Taobao customer service: "Dear customer, we do not currently have the copyright for this brand, so we cannot customize this car cover."

【Chen Da Miao】: "It's okay, I'll draw one for you right away."

Taobao customer service: "???"
