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

A Wuling sedan in "Unit-01 Purple" colorway came to a steady stop in front of the main building of the industrial park.

The car door opened, and Zhou Jianguo stepped out briskly.

Park manager Li Lin, who had been waiting there, greeted them with a smile, his gaze lingering on the sleek car for a moment.

"Mr. Zhou, your car is really flashy! It must turn heads wherever you drive it, right?"

"Li Ke, you flatter me. I have to thank Director Yang for his design, which captured the aesthetics of young people."

Zhou Jianguo smiled and shook hands with Li Lin, then looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

"I really didn't expect that in just six months, the industrial park that was almost abandoned has been completely transformed."

As a childhood friend of the owner of this industrial park, Zhou Jianguo knows exactly what it used to look like.

Looking around now, the roads are smooth and wide, and the greenery is arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner.

The renovated office buildings are bright and clean.

Besides the core Land of Light animation studio, many upstream and downstream cultural and creative enterprises have moved in, forming a small ecosystem.

In terms of commercial facilities, there were only a few coffee and milk tea shops in the park, such as Mixue Ice Cream, Luckin Coffee, and Kudi.

Nowadays, brands like Shiyaoshuxia, Yidiandian, Guming, Chabaidao, and Bawangchaji...

Almost every well-known milk tea brand on the market has rushed to open a branch here, making it as densely populated as a downtown business district.

It was as if they were afraid the people here would die of thirst.

"Serving high-quality enterprises and optimizing the park environment are things I should do."

Li Lin waved his hand modestly.

After several months of hard work, he has finally secured his position as the park manager.

Of course, there were countless eyes watching him from the shadows, making him increasingly cautious and treading on thin ice.

……

Meanwhile, a newly hired concept artist named Wang Le was carefully following behind the personnel specialist from the Land of Light, completing the final onboarding procedures.

Walking through the open-plan office area, his eyes could hardly take it all in.

Everywhere you look, there are EVA Unit-01 busts, life-size Ultraman Tiga composite busts, ink-wash style concept art from "Go Master" hanging on the wall, and life-size Seven Swords weapons from "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit"...

This isn't an office; it's a paradise every animation enthusiast dreams of.

In the workspace, several veteran employees were gathered around a screen, intensely discussing the future plot of "Go Master".

"I bet Jiang Liuer will definitely use the 'Great Harmony of Heaven and Earth' formula to turn the tide in the next episode!"

"Not necessarily. Look at the panel layout here; I have a feeling the opponent might be hiding something..."

Because Yang Qian had made it clear that no member of the project team was allowed to leak information to outsiders or within the company.

Therefore, those who are not employees of the project can only follow the broadcast schedule and guess and analyze the latest plot like ordinary viewers.

Looking at the benefits offered in the employment contract, Wang Le could hardly believe his eyes.

Full payment of social insurance and housing fund, generous meal and transportation allowances, clearly defined overtime pay calculation standards, free high-quality late-night snacks, and full reimbursement of taxi fares for overtime work past 8 PM...

These benefits are ridiculously good, aren't they?

It was several times better than any of the companies he had interviewed with before.

No, it's dozens of times.

When the HR specialist saw Wang Le staring blankly at the pen, they assumed there was something wrong with the contract.

"What's wrong? Do you have any questions about the contract terms?"

"No, no, no," Wang Le quickly shook his head, somewhat embarrassed, and honestly replied.

"I just feel that this treatment is better than I imagined."

"I see."

The HR specialist nodded knowingly, a smile of understanding on his face.

"As long as they like it, that's fine. Director Yang has always emphasized that we should let our employees devote themselves to the creative process without any worries."

As if remembering something, she lowered her voice and added.

"Oh, by the way, I should remind you of something."

"?"

Wang Le looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"When you came in just now, did you see a creamy white kitten wandering around the office area?"

"Yes, I saw it."

Wang Le nodded, somewhat surprised.

"Our Land of Light actually allows pets in the office?"

"Well, that's an exception."

The HR specialist smiled mysteriously, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness.

"Here's a piece of advice for you. Remember this: even if you accidentally offend Director Yang, he most likely won't hold it against you."

"But never offend it."

"Huh? Why?"

Wang Le was even more confused.

The HR specialist leaned closer: "That's our company's second boss, Shijiu."

Wang Le: "???"

……

After seeing Zhou Jianguo off, Li Lin returned to his office.

The landline and cell phone on the table were constantly ringing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't want to help, but we really don't have any vacant office buildings for rent in our park right now, and the planned Phase III is still under review..."

"Hello Manager Li, we are from the documentary channel of the National Television. We would like to schedule an interview with General Manager Yang to discuss the rise of Chinese animation and the model of Land of Light..."

"Brand collaboration? Please send your detailed proposal to our official email address first, and we will conduct a unified evaluation and selection process..."

He skillfully dealt with all sorts of deities, his face showing a hint of fatigue, but a persistent smile always lingered on his lips.

Being busy is good.

After hanging up another inquiry call from an investment firm, he slowly walked to the window.

Downstairs, several employees of the Land of Light were setting up the venue.

Preparing for the upcoming "Wuling Lucky Visitor Day".

……

"Family! Do you see this?! This is the Land of Light! I'm breathing the same air as Director Yang!"

A young girl holding a selfie stick was so excited that her voice was trembling.

She and several other companions were lucky tourists selected from tens of thousands of customers who pre-ordered the Wuling co-branded car, and they won this valuable opportunity for an inside tour.

Programmer Lin Chen was among them.

He has been following A-Guang's work since his first work, "Ultraman Tiga," and has been a loyal fan ever since.

He had already planned to buy a car, and when he saw the collaboration between Wuling and the Land of Light, especially the "Ashita Orange" color scheme, he placed an order without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, good luck came his way, and he actually won the right to visit.

This was an unexpected and delightful surprise for him, even more exciting than winning the lottery.

Even wealthy men who weren't short of money contacted him through various channels, offering a high price of 100,000 yuan to buy the tour spot, but he resolutely refused.

As a senior programmer, he earns a substantial monthly salary.

While 100,000 yuan is tempting, it can be earned through three months of hard work.

This opportunity to step into the idol's holy land and experience the creative atmosphere up close is truly priceless.

Lin Chen and the others, like devout pilgrims, cautiously observed from outside the artists' work area.

Take photos with Ultraman Tiga and Unit-01 models in the exhibition hall filled with various models, figurines and original paintings.

These were custom-made by Yang Qian from Tianma Toy Factory.

A style that has never been available on the market before.

Its first public appearance caused a frenzy of comments in the live stream chat.

Just as they were taking pictures.

A young man wearing a gray hoodie and with a slightly thin figure walked leisurely past the nearby rest area, carrying a mug in his hand.

"Holy crap! Hikaru! It's Hikaru alive!"

A sharp-eyed boy exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling.

Yang Qian, who was idly strolling around, stopped in her tracks upon hearing the sound.

Then it dawned on me that today was a visitor's day.

Looking at the excited fans in front of him, he smiled gently, without any airs.

Not only did she grant their request for a photo, but she also had Su Xiaoran bring out several posters, personally sign them, and give them to each lucky tourist.

"Everlasting Light! We will always support you! Go, Kingdom of Light!"

Lin Chen's hand holding the poster trembled slightly as he called out, his voice choked with emotion.

Their subsequent posts of live stream clips, group photos, and autographed posters on the platform instantly ignited the entire animation enthusiast community, and related topics once again topped the trending searches.

"I'm so jealous! I actually got to take a photo with Ah Guang!"

"Everbright actually sent me a personally signed poster! What kind of amazing treatment is this!"

"Wow! Did you guys see those giant Ultraman Tiga and Evangelion Unit-01 figures in the exhibition hall? They're absolutely unique, custom-made!"

"@Land of Light Animation Studio - Hikaru, please! I beg you, please mass-produce these figures! I'll sell everything I own to buy them!"

……

At night, Yang Qian sat alone in his office and brought up the system panel.

【Malignant cell erosion level: 37.5%】

Previously, in multi-front competition with Tencent Video and Lizi Entertainment, it won the battle with the outstanding market performance and word-of-mouth of several works.

The corresponding rewards have already been distributed.

The erosion level decreased by another 0.4%.

The situation is much better than the initial 71%.

However, the decrease in numbers has not brought complete peace of mind.

He could still occasionally feel discomfort deep within his body.

He is still a cancer patient.

The crisis is not over yet.

After the tournament ended, Yang Qian rested for two days to relax.

"It's time to start afresh."

He already has a plan in mind for his next animation project.

Since the establishment of the 3D animation department, Huang Duotian and Liu Liang have led their team to work diligently, and it's time for them to make their debut on this stage.
