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

Tencent Video has invested an overwhelming amount of promotional resources in "Swordsman's Journey".

The splash screen ads and news feed pushes on social media platforms, and the pre-roll ads on major video websites.

Even bus stops and building signs in some core cities have been adorned with images of this martial arts epic.

The ultra-low pricing strategy of 0.25 yuan per episode has effectively captured the consumption psychology of many animation enthusiasts.

With the first three episodes being free, users only need to spend 1 yuan to watch all seven episodes.

The allure of experiencing top-notch production at such a bargain price has captivated countless netizens.

The official 30-second teaser trailer has only heightened the anticipation.

The scene is filled with sword energy, flowing robes, and exquisitely detailed characters.

The scenes are grand and magnificent, and the fighting movements are fluid and powerful.

Every frame exudes the feeling that a huge budget was being spent.

"Tencent Video truly lives up to its reputation as a giant; the quality of this 30-second preview is absolutely amazing!"

"The special effects, the rendering, the fight choreography... the money is visibly there!"

"The official statement says that every episode is of this quality. If that's true, it's absolutely amazing!"

"Let's look forward to it! Hopefully, this isn't one of those scammers who cut all the best parts into the trailer."

Two episodes a day? Is Tencent trying to imitate Land of Light?

At 8 p.m. sharp, the first two episodes of "The Sword and the Jianghu" were released on time.

In no time, the number of clicks skyrocketed.

After the two episodes aired, viewers were left wanting more.

The comments section was filled with praise.

Dazzling yet understated special effects.

The animation quality is comparable to that of a movie.

The fight scenes are fluid and full of martial arts charm.

Renowned voice actors provide emotionally rich voice acting for the characters...

Each aspect has reached the top level of domestic 2D animation.

At this moment, many viewers truly realized...

When a capital giant like Tencent Video gets serious and mobilizes its vast resources and technological reserves, the energy it can unleash is terrifying.

The Weibo hot search list was instantly dominated by topics related to "Swordsman's Journey".

#Land of Light Encounters Strongest Challenger#

#The Sword Sweeps Across the Jianghu, A Single Sword's Light Chills Across Nineteen Provinces#

#On the Top-Tier Quality of Wuxia Animation#

#This is the vision and strength that a major company should have#

Top-quality content, combined with top-tier distribution channels, produces an overwhelming effect.

The implications of some of the trending topics are self-evident.

The atmosphere in the animation section's content creator chat group was somewhat somber.

"Have you all read 'The Sword Sweep Through the Jianghu'?"

"After watching it, all I can say is that it's ridiculously strong."

"For the first time, I felt the gap in capital so clearly. It turns out that it's not that we can't make good animation, but that we only have a chance to stand out when the giants don't bother to make it."

"Tencent Video is making a triumphant comeback this time. A-Guang is under immense pressure."

"I wonder how Guangda will respond. The quality and momentum of 'Swordsman' are too overwhelming."

"In any case, if the two sides fight, we animation enthusiasts will definitely benefit. We can watch a good show and see more good works."

Just then, someone exclaimed.

"Quick, check Weibo! Everbright Securities posted an update!"

Everyone quickly clicked on the link and saw Yang Qian's newly posted Weibo:

[Ah Guang]: "Has everyone read 'The Sword and the Jianghu'?"

I just finished watching it, and it is indeed an excellent martial arts animation. The production quality is excellent, and the fight choreography is very creative.

For those who haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend checking it out!

The group members were all bewildered.

Is Everbright handing GG to its opponent?

Stunned by the beating?

Or are you just confused from anger?

Why do you boost others' morale while diminishing your own?

The comment section exploded instantly:

"Guangda! Wake up! That's an animation from Tencent Video! It's from the other side!"

"It's over, it's over! Guangda's been driven to madness by 'Swordsman's Journey'! Tencent Video, you owe us, the normal Guangda, a real loss!"

"Instead of properly updating 'EVA' and 'The Original,' you're actually aiding the enemy! Guangda, I'm going to report you to your boss for slacking off at work!"

"Guangda: Who is below me, and why are you accusing me? (doge emoji)"

"Guangda! Stop with the fluff! If you really feel pressured, just release all the drafts of 'EVA' right now! I promise to bring my whole family to support you!"

……

At the Light Kingdom Studio, Yang Qian couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at the flood of lamentations and meme-filled comments below her Weibo post.

He actually read "The Sword Sweep of the Jianghu".

To be fair, the production quality is indeed very high.

Especially in terms of motion design and special effects rendering, it can be called a benchmark work of domestic 2D animation.

It's rare to see such a serious and high-quality martial arts animation. As a fellow professional, what's wrong with giving it some encouragement?

He scoffed at those underhanded smear campaigns and censorship tactics.

But like now, they compete fairly and squarely on the same stage, relying on their hard power.

That's what makes it interesting, and that's what deserves respect.

Of course, he had already prepared a countermeasure.

On the very day that Wisteria made a high-profile announcement of the "Hengxing Project," Miriam Yeung had already launched the corresponding project.

The production of that work is now more than halfway complete.

It won't be long before it meets the audience.

After closing Weibo, Yang Qian habitually scrolled through short videos.

Multiple entertainment industry marketing accounts are pushing the same message.

The multi-person tokusatsu drama "Star Warriors," co-produced by companies including Lizi Entertainment, has officially been scheduled for release.

The broadcast time was exactly the day after the original Ultraman series ended.

The intention is obvious.

The intention was to capitalize on the market buzz surrounding tokusatsu dramas following the conclusion of the original series.

Make the perfect time difference.

This time, the other party came prepared.

Yang Qian casually clicked on the official short video account of "Star Warrior".

Ten minutes ago, they released a one-minute teaser trailer.

Upon opening it, the quality was somewhat beyond his expectations.

The suit design is quite unique, the fight scenes show a significant investment, and the special effects are decent.

Overall, it actually looks pretty good!

If he hadn't prepared, the other party would have had a high chance of successfully capturing this wave of traffic based on the quality of the product and the marketing.

But now...

The outcome is hard to say.

"Ultraman Seven" has already been filmed and post-production is nearing completion.

More importantly, the super team he specially prepared for the "multi-person special effects" category is also being filmed intensively under Guo Fan's leadership.

Didn't they say the Land of Light doesn't have any multi-person tokusatsu shows?

Let's confront each other head-on with our work.

Let's see if your "Star Warriors" is more popular, or if my "Super Squad" can win the hearts of children.

On the set of "Super Sentai", Guo Fan, who was supervising the suit actors' rehearsal, suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

He wrapped his coat tighter around himself and looked at the buzzing air conditioner with a puzzled expression.

Is the cooling setting turned up too high?

Why does it feel so cold...?

……

Office of the Land of Light 3D Animation Project Team.

"Phew! Finally finished the main rendering for one episode!"

Huang Duotian slumped in the ergonomic chair, let out a long sigh of relief, and felt completely drained.

Beside him was his good buddy Liu Liang, and other 3D team colleagues.

"I feel completely drained..."

Liu Liang sighed weakly.

As a newly established department in the Land of Light, the entire 3D team is full of energy and determination.

They have no historical achievements.

Upon joining the company, I was immediately assigned to a 3D project personally planned by Yang Qian.

This is both trust and pressure.

In order to live up to Director Yang's expectations and to make a good start for the 3D team.

The entire team went into hell mode, working overtime and striving for perfection.

He was determined to make a name for himself with this work and gain a foothold in the Land of Light.

Yang Qian naturally saw their hard work and dedication.

Overtime pay is paid in full, and there is a different late-night snack every night.

Taxi fares will be reimbursed for all overtime work past 8 PM...

"Hey Lao Huang, quick, check if the admin lady posted the late-night snack menu in the group chat yet? I need an energy boost!"

Liu Liang slumped in the chair, not even wanting to move a finger.

Huang Duotian picked up his phone and glanced at it, then immediately perked up.

"I'm so lucky! I ordered Domino's Pizza today! They have the Classic Supreme, Teriyaki Beef, and..."

"Yes, we also have the macadamia fruit pizza you ordered."

"Give me a Hawaiian one."

"My weight has gotten a bit out of control lately, so I'm eating some fruit to lighten it up."

Liu Liang touched his increasingly round belly and sighed helplessly.

After joining the Land of Light, his weight skyrocketed like a rocket.

In the past, when I worked overtime at the company, I was lucky to have a bowl of instant noodles.

Here it is, KFC, McDonald's, Burger King, Dicos, Domino's, Pizza Hut...

Various well-known fast food restaurants come in rotation, and there are also cakes and milk tea for afternoon tea.

"I'm definitely going to lose weight once this project launches!"

This is the Nth time Liu Liang has made this promise.

……

Yang Qian opened the WeChat chat window for editing rice and dragged several files over.

"Da Mi, here are the poster and basic information for the new work. We can start arranging promotional resources now."

"Okay, Guangda! We guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

Da Mi responded immediately, full of enthusiasm.

However, when he opened the file package sent by Yang Qian, he was completely stunned.

There's more than one poster?

Is there more than one project?

This number far exceeded his expectations!

"Everbright, are you planning to launch attacks on multiple fronts simultaneously this time?"

Rice asked cautiously.

"Um."

Yang Qian's reply was calm and affirmative.

"Since they have already made a public statement and set up their formations on various tracks, our Kingdom of Light will naturally respond to each and every one of them."

Looking at the exquisite posters on the screen, DaMi felt like his CPU couldn't keep up.

It turns out that the previous double-shot attack was not the limit of Guangda at all.

Is this what they call...?

A saturation counterattack?

"Understood, Everbright! I'll go coordinate the resources right away."
