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

The Land of Light animation studio has officially announced two Go-themed anime projects at once.

The sudden news completely stunned all animation enthusiasts.

Especially those online trolls and followers who previously desperately predicted the downfall of the Kingdom of Light and touted that "Swordsman's Journey" had already secured victory.

The slap in the face was resounding.

Dual-open?!

Or is it a dual-platform project with different styles but the same theme?!

Tencent Video headquarters, office of the head of the animation department.

Wisteria looked at the two posters on the screen.

My good mood vanished instantly, and I even spilled a little coffee from my hand without realizing it.

Ah-Kuang not only accepted the challenge, but he also released two works at once.

A contest of wits and martial arts?

Using Go against Wuxia (martial arts)?

Using professionalism to counter universality?

And they're doing it both ways!

It's obvious they're going head-to-head with the main character in "Swordsman's Journey".

At this moment, the fans of the Land of Light are feeling triumphant.

"Hahaha! I knew it! Everbright never disappoints! They just unleash a royal flush with four twos!"

"One is a traditional Chinese Go game, the other is a modern Go game! Everbright is really pushing the boundaries of the Go genre!"

"Pfft, that's hilarious! Ke Jie and Zhan Ying are actually in the same frame? How did Guangda manage that? Don't they have a conflict?"

"Personal charisma! Absolute personal charisma! Everbright: I simply attract every talented person who wants to build a career on an equal footing!"

"It's confirmed: Everbright's true identity is that of an electronic succubus."

Of course, doubts and pessimistic voices have never stopped.

"This art style doesn't look as refined as 'Swordsman's Journey'. It feels like it's missing something."

"Martial arts are the romance of men, what's so interesting about playing chess? It's so tedious."

"Modern Go is even less interesting. Who among young people can sit still and play Go these days? They might as well play a couple of games."

"Ah Guang really went off track this time, putting a dramatic scene against an action scene, which is a disadvantage from the start, so it's going to be risky."

"Let's stick to tokusatsu. The original series is almost over, when is the new Shin-O coming out?"

……

"The Land of Light..."

Wisteria carefully watched the 30-second previews of both works.

To be fair, it's well-made and has a great atmosphere.

However, judging from these 30 seconds alone, it does not seem to show an absolute advantage over "Swordsman Online".

But this only made her more vigilant.

Ah Guang's stuff is always slow to heat up but has a powerful aftertaste.

"The marketing budget for 'Swordsman' will be increased by another 30%."

"Continue with the previous commercial deals, and also bring out those obscure celebrities with a bit of a fan base to generate buzz; we absolutely can't let the hype drop!"

Is it about burning money?

Compared to publicity and promotion?

Tencent Video has never been afraid of anyone.

She didn't believe the Kingdom of Light could compete with the financial giants in terms of attrition.

Even if your Land of Light releases two anime series, I will still crush you in your infancy.

At the same time, she immediately contacted Wu Dashan, the head of the animation department at Lizi Entertainment.

"Mr. Wu, it's me. Could you move up the release date of your Ultraman-themed film, 'Star Warriors'?"

"Ahead of schedule? Ms. Zi, that's not a good idea, is it? The publicity and distribution have already been arranged; changing things at the last minute would result in huge losses."

Wu Dashan's voice sounded somewhat perfunctory.

"Aren't you afraid the Land of Light will intercept you halfway there?"

The wisteria reminded me.

Her sixth sense told her that this time, Ah Guang was clearly not that simple.

"Afraid of him? Hahaha!"

Wu Dashan laughed heartily on the other end of the phone.

"President Zi, aren't you being far too paranoid?"

"We weren't serious before, but now that the giants have joined forces and resources are at their peak, what can the Land of Light do to compete with us?"

The case of "Swordsman's Journey" proves that as long as capital giants get serious...

The Land of Light is nothing more than an ant that you might casually crush on the roadside.

Moreover, this time, "Star Warriors" is not like the previous sci-fi tokusatsu series "Guardians of the Galaxy".

Veteran actors carry the main roles, popular celebrities serve as eye candy to attract attention, a renowned Hong Kong director directs, and movie-quality costumes are used...

With a dragon charging right at your face, how can you possibly lose?

"President Zi, please put your mind at ease!"

"Alright, then I won't say any more."

After hanging up the phone, Wisteria couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.

"Idiot! Moron!"

No wonder Lizi Entertainment has always been outmatched by Tencent. With such terrible teammates, it's no wonder they can't win!

How did someone with that level of intelligence rise to become the head of the animation section at Tanuki Entertainment?

A person with connections?

That can't be right; you can't hire an idiot just because someone has connections.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Dashan leaned back in his boss's chair with a smug look on his face, scoffing at the wisteria flower's concerns.

"Women are all talk and no action, and cowardly as mice."

The Land of Light has only released two anime series, and you're already this scared?

Is this all the ability the animation director at Tencent Video has?

I have no idea how this person became the person in charge of the animation section.

She is most likely the mistress of a high-ranking official.

It seems that Lizi Entertainment is poised to surpass Tencent Video soon.

A series of urgent knocks on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in!"

The assistant rushed in, flustered.

"Mr. Wu, something terrible has happened! The Land of Light just released a teaser trailer for a new tokusatsu series! Just a minute ago!"

"Oh?"

Wu Dashan raised an eyebrow, not surprised.

With the original Ultraman series nearing its end, it's quite normal to release a teaser trailer for a new Ultraman series at this time.

However, he still took the tablet and glanced at it.

The new work is titled "Ultraman Seven".

The 30-second teaser trailer, maintaining the consistently high-quality style of the Land of Light, was truly impressive.

"Hmm, not bad, A-Guang really knows how to make Ultraman."

Wu Dashan offered an objective assessment, but then a hint of disdain crept onto his lips.

"However, the scope is still too narrow."

The core of "Ultraman Tiga", "Kuuga", "Ultraman", and even this "Seven" is still individual heroism.

Young people, after all, can't escape the fantasy of being a personal hero.

But this isn't Amei.

Teamwork in "Star Warriors" is the mainstream value, which puts it ahead of the competition.

However, the video did not end.

It automatically jumped to the next page.

A brand new 30-second teaser.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Wu Dashan's heart.

Could it be Kamen Rider?

The video features several characters wearing combat suits of different colors.

They fought together and repelled the enemy.

"This...this is?!"

Wu Dashan suddenly jumped up from his chair, his eyes wide open.

The video ends with the title, "Super Sentai Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger".

Wu Dashan felt a rush of heat to his head, and his vision went black.

Nima!

Multi-person special effects?!

Teamwork?!

The Land of Light not only produced a new team, but they also simultaneously launched a super team?!

This is clearly aimed at "Star Warrior".

So you're not even going to act anymore?!

While Tencent Video was clearly competing in a literary contest, his side was directly engaging in a sniper duel at the center, and it was even a simultaneous firing of two guns!

What happened to Hikaru being the Warrior of Light? Why is he playing such a dirty trick?!

"quick!!"

Wu Dashan no longer cared about maintaining his composure.

"Publicity! Maximize all publicity resources immediately! At the highest level!"

"I'll go and apply to the higher-ups right away; 'Star Warrior' must be moved up in the release schedule!"

He stumbled out of the office, with only one thought in his mind.

Oh no, that woman was right!

That madman from the Land of Light!

……

Land of Light Animation Studio.

Yang Qian Gang finished uploading the trailers for "Ultraman Seven" and "Super Sentai Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger" and leisurely took a sip of water.

He never said that the only surprises today were "Go Master" and "Hikaru no Go".

Is Lizi Entertainment trying to capitalize on the popularity of the original series ending?

Trying to use the concept of teamwork to suppress Ultraman's individual heroes?

Sorry, I won't even leave you a crack.

"Seven," a film that continues the Ultraman universe, and "Super Sentai," a film that ushers in a new era of team-based tokusatsu.

It's all about having a royal flush and a straight flush.

You disagree?

Hold it in!

"Director Yang, if I keep working overtime like this, I feel like I'm really not far from dying from overwork..."

Assistant director Guo Fan, sporting heavy dark circles under his eyes, listlessly approached Yang Qian to complain.

During this period, in order to simultaneously produce "Seven" and "Dekaranger", the entire special effects team practically lived on the set.

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Guo."

Yang Qian patted him on the shoulder.

"This month's performance bonus will be paid at the maximum rate of three times."

"In addition, I have already spoken with Mr. Zhou of Qushui Lanting. The entire special effects team will have two days of paid leave, and all expenses will be paid by the studio. They can relax and have a good time."

"Director Yang, that's not what I meant..."

Guo Fan rubbed his throbbing temples.

"Hmm?" Yang Qian raised an eyebrow.

"What I mean is..."

Guo Fan carefully considered his words.

"Shouldn't we expand our special effects team a bit?"

"Just maintaining the Ultraman and Kamen Rider series, plus the current Super Sentai..."

"Oh?"

Yang Qian became interested.

"From what you're saying, you have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

"Well, I have a friend who used to work in animated films. He has solid directing skills and a quick mind, so switching to tokusatsu would be no problem for him, but..."

Guo Fan quickly replied.

"Sure, let's schedule a time to talk."

Yang Qian readily agreed.

Guo Fan: "Director Yang, why don't you ask his name and representative works first?"

"What's his name?"

"dumpling."
