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

The shockwaves from the Wu incident first severely damaged the game "Star Warriors," which was deeply intertwined with it.

This team-based superhero drama, which Tanuki Entertainment had high hopes for and intended to rival or even surpass the Land of Light tokusatsu series, was forced to be urgently removed from all online platforms.

All footage involving Wu needs to be blurred, AI face-swapping, or directly edited.

The most fatal flaw was the attempt to maximize the use of Wu's popularity.

Lizi Entertainment initially positioned him as a major supporting character with significant screen time alongside the protagonist, essentially a "second male lead".

This means that he has a lot of screen time in almost every episode of the series.

The editing department at Lizi Entertainment was instantly plunged into a hellish work mode.

"I'm speechless! Wu Qianzi went in and operated the sewing machine herself, leaving us with this mess to work overtime until we're dead!"

"You can argue with that! I've been pulling three all-nighters in a row, and all I see when I open and close my eyes is that face. I'm starting to feel physically uncomfortable!"

"When will this ever end? It feels like it'll never be finished..."

The editors' wailing reflects the current disarray and chaos at Lizi Entertainment.

The market's reaction was more direct.

Affected by this major negative event, Lizi Entertainment's stock price plummeted for two consecutive days, with its market value evaporating by billions.

This is a real loss of money.

Wu Dashan, the person directly in charge of the project, was held accountable by the company's senior management. His job level was demoted from M9 to M7, and his annual salary was halved.

Even so, Wu Dashan had to suppress his resentment and be grateful that the higher-ups hadn't fired him outright.

Of course, the higher-ups did not keep him on out of kindness.

The main reason is that before the scandal broke, "Star Warriors" did indeed briefly suppress "Devil Ranger" of the Land of Light in terms of data and popularity, which proved Wu Dashan's project operation capabilities.

If it weren't for this sudden "black swan" event, the final outcome would have been uncertain.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in reality.

With "Star Warriors" being taken down for maintenance, the real audience feedback, which was previously covered up by online trolls and fan comments, is gradually coming to light.

"Looking back now, those veteran actors, though their acting was excellent, forcing themselves to play young people in their early twenties felt really out of place. It was like painting an old cucumber green—trying to look young!"

"The slow-motion aesthetics of Hong Kong directors are outdated. It feels like a martial arts film from the last century. The pacing is terrible."

"Overall, I feel it's not as good as 'Dekaranger.' Tokusatsu is all about that youthful passion and youthful exuberance—that's what makes it so appealing!"

"That's right, watching a tokusatsu drama and getting a bunch of old-fashioned lectures? I'm here to have fun, not to receive a moral lesson!"

The anime "Detective Detective" gained significant exposure and positive word-of-mouth thanks to this incident.

Countless new viewers flocked in, discovering that the show has extremely positive values ​​and that the main characters are upright and righteous space police.

Punishing evil and promoting good, upholding justice—its core spirit perfectly aligns with the Land of Light's previous actions of standing up against powerful forces.

Some people even dug up the fact that the criminal red song title was quoted by Yang Qian on Weibo.

First, we must abhor acts of cruelty and evil!

The ratings for "Detective Detective" surged, and its popularity reached unprecedented levels.

"If you ask me, for tokusatsu, you have to watch 'Dekaranger' from Land of Light! It's got a strong moral compass and incredibly positive values!"

"Case solved! It turns out that Boss Guang is not only a giant of light, but his inner soul is also a criminal underworld figure!"

"I have to support this! Guangda, when are you going to release merchandise featuring the transformation device and police badge from 'Dekaranger'? My wallet is ready!"

"At 25 years old, I bought the Kuuga belt from the Land of Light outright. You can't imagine how strong I am! (doge)"

When pressed by the media, Yang Qian's reaction remained as calm as ever, responding casually in a public interview.

"We were just following our inner principles and doing a little thing that we thought was right."

It's understated yet profoundly insightful.

This response won widespread goodwill from countless passersby, a stark contrast to the chaotic situation faced by Li Zi Entertainment.

……

At the headquarters of Tencent Video, Wisteria was closely monitoring the situation.

Upon learning of Wu Dashan's demotion, she was both shocked and relieved.

Fortunately, she was in charge of the animation field, where all the characters were in a virtual world and were completely under her control.

There will never be a devastating blow like the exposure of a live actor.

At the same time, she felt an unprecedented sense of dread towards the Kingdom of Light, especially Yang Qian's ability to "cause trouble."

Ah Guang really doesn't care about any business risks or interpersonal relationships.

He can flip the table whenever he wants, yet he always manages to put himself on the moral and legal high ground.

Out of personal feelings, she felt a sense of admiration for Yang Qian's decision to confront the financial giant head-on for a complete stranger.

This foolish sense of justice and responsibility is perhaps precisely the unique charm of that man.

"This time, 'Swordsman's Journey' may have lost."

Looking at the data of the two chess pieces from the Land of Light on the screen, Wisteria Flower admitted her defeat.

"But the struggle is far from over."

Tencent Video is a large and well-established company with a deep foundation, capable of withstanding failures and setbacks.

Since we can't acquire the Land of Light, we'll crush it with sheer power.

Your talent, Ah Guang, is ultimately limited.

Penguin owns several top-tier animation studios, possessing a vast library of intellectual property and a mature industrial process.

If one martial arts theme doesn't work, you can immediately switch to fantasy, science fiction, or xuanhuan (a genre of Chinese fantasy)...

A war of attrition can wear you down.

But can you, A-Guang, guarantee that every game you release will be a masterpiece like "Go Master" or "Hikaru no Go"?

One mistake and it's all over!

She opened the project proposal; this time, she was prepared to mobilize more resources and launch a new round of encirclement and suppression.

……

Land of Light Animation Studio.

"Director Yang, will the team-building celebration for this project still be held at Qushui Lanting?"

Su Xiaoran asked, holding up the schedule.

"Yes, as usual, it will be scheduled for Thursday or Friday so as not to take up everyone's weekend rest time."

Yang Qian casually replied while petting the kitten Shijiu in his arms.

"Okay, I'll send out the notice right away."

Su Xiaoran smiled and nodded, already used to her boss's "unconventional" behavior.

Yang Qian gently stroked Shi Jiu's soft, warm fur, already thinking about the studio's future arrangements.

This direct confrontation with Tencent Video and Tanuki Entertainment appears to be a resounding victory for the Kingdom of Light, but only he knows the dangers involved.

To a large extent, luck played a part.

Moreover, because the opponent made the first move, the Land of Light was forced to respond.

Fortunately, thanks to the high quality of their work and a bit of "favorable timing and location," they ultimately turned the tables.

Passive defense has never been the style of the Land of Light.

Yang Qian tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingertips.

Now, it's the Land of Light's turn to take the initiative.

In the park manager's office, Li Lin had already submitted the list of outstanding companies for this year.

There is only one company on the list.

Land of Light Animation Studio.

Helping outstanding companies obtain the honors they deserve is what I, as the park manager, should do.

In addition, Li Lin also heard some news from his superiors.

Li Lin's name is among this year's nominees for awards.

Yes, double happiness!
