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

Chapter 60 didn't mention a second season either.

It needs to capture the emerging female-oriented market while also appealing to male audiences and viewers of all ages...

Yang Qian's thoughts sank into the system points mall in his mind.

The icons of the various works flowed slowly, emitting various colors of light.

His gaze swept quickly across the area, finally settling on a card that shimmered with a pale golden light.

"You're the one I've decided on."

Yang Qian silently confirmed the exchange.

……

Land of Light Animation Studio.

Yang Qian called in Chen Yi, the person in charge of 2D animation.

"Chen Yi, this is the information for the Land of Light's next 2D animation project. Take a look."

Chen Yi was somewhat surprised: "Boss, are we starting a new project so soon?"

"The first season of 'That Rabbit' was just finished not long ago."

"I have already submitted the complete first season of 'That Rabbit' to Manager Li for review."

Yang Qian explained.

"The process over there takes time, so we can take advantage of this gap to start a new front."

After completing the final editing and dubbing of the first season of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things", Yang Qian contacted Li Lin immediately.

Li Lin took this matter very seriously and immediately uploaded it through encrypted channels.

Soon after, the superiors gave a reply.

"We've seen the film, and it's exceptionally well-made! Very powerful!"

"We are currently discussing this internally and preparing to choose a suitable date for the official release to achieve the best social impact and commemorative significance."

Upon receiving this news, Yang Qian felt much more at ease.

This was pretty much what he had expected. Such a special subject matter, released on a symbolic day, would better highlight its value.

What Yang Qian didn't know was that, besides discussing the official release date, the top leaders of City A were also...

They did something else.

At an informal internal briefing in City A.

The leader in charge of publicity and industrial development was all smiles.

He spoke mysteriously to the heads of several other brother cities on the video screen.

"City B, City C, City D... everyone, today I'm going to show you something great, made by a company in our city."

Other city officials initially didn't take it seriously.

"What good stuff? Another Ultraman episode from your Land of Light? Kids' stuff."

The leaders of City A smiled but remained silent, simply playing "That Rabbit" on TV.

Ten minutes later, the video ended.

A brief silence fell over the conference room.

City B: "Hmm... I think the subject matter is good, but the production is just average."

If this Kingdom of Light were located in our City B, with our richer historical and cultural heritage and greater talent pool, we could certainly do even better.

City C: "Old A, I'm not trying to criticize you, but with such a good subject matter and such a promising form of expression, you just let them turn it into this?"

That's a bit of a waste! The depth and emotional impact of this work clearly have room for further exploration!

City D: "Um, Old A, our city just launched a high-end cultural talent introduction plan this year, with very comprehensive supporting policies and funding."

"Look, shouldn't we consider... exchanging ideas with the core creative staff of the Land of Light?"

The leaders of City A were secretly delighted to see the envious and jealous expressions on the screen.

"Hehehe, you're all just jealous. You want me to hand over the Land of Light? Dream on!"

Other cities: What to do? I really want to punch that bastard! He's too cocky!

Just then, the leader of City A changed the subject and said slowly.

"However, the significance of this animation truly transcends the scope of a single city."

"I have a preliminary idea: perhaps City A could take the lead in producing this series, 'Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things,' in collaboration with our brother cities present here. I wonder what everyone thinks...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the attitudes of the several officials on the screen completely changed.

City B: "Brother A, I thought you were the most qualified city to be the provincial capital back then. Remember the benefits, little brother!"

City C: "Brother A is truly understanding! I'm willing to do anything for this joint promotion. Just let me know if you need any assistance!"

City D: "Me too!"

……

Office of the Land of Light.

"Director Yang, this looks like an animated film with a fantasy theme for young girls?"

Chen Yi was quite surprised after reviewing some of the materials.

It's no wonder Chen Yi was surprised.

Previously, works from Land of Light, whether tokusatsu or animation, primarily targeted an audience of all ages or male viewers.

Although the work features many well-developed female characters such as Blue Rabbit, Asuka, and Rei Ayanami.

However, this is the first project to feature a young girl as the protagonist and revolve around classic shoujo manga elements such as magic, dress-up, and collecting.

In fact, Chen Yi really wanted to ask a question.

Director Yang, is there anything you can't do?

"The female-oriented market is also not to be ignored, and it has huge potential."

Yang Qian explained.

"What we want to create is not something narrowly aimed at girls, but rather works that take a female perspective and preferences as their starting point, while also attracting the appreciation of everyone."

"Regarding the specific content and the presentation of details..."

Yang Qian turned her gaze to Su Xiaoran, who was organizing documents to the side.

"You can ask Xiao Ran for her opinion more often."

"I believe she will give you some suitable advice."

"Huh? Me?"

Su Xiaoran, who was suddenly called out, was stunned for a moment.

She pointed to herself, quite surprised.

Although she did read a lot of shoujo manga and anime in private, it was purely a personal hobby.

Making animation?

Or should I serve as a project consultant?

These are completely different concepts!

"Director Yang, I think this project is so important, shouldn't we reconsider?"

"I might not be suitable..."

Su Xiaoran instinctively wanted to decline.

"It's okay, trust your judgment and intuition."

"Just consider it as offering suggestions from the audience's perspective."

Su Xiaoran: "Okay... I'll try my best."

Yang Qian's move was not entirely a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Previously, Mr. Chen Guorong had privately revealed to him that Su Xiaoran was not only exceptionally talented in voice acting.

Moreover, he has a solid foundation in painting and a keen aesthetic sense and insight into various works.

It's a bit of a shame that such a versatile person has only ever done voice-over and administrative coordination.

Since the new project involves a field she is familiar with, it is a good opportunity for her to make use of her strengths.

"By the way, Director Yang."

Su Xiaoran remembered something else and reminded her.

"After the conclusion of 'Go Master,' there was a huge demand for a second season across various platforms and fan groups, with people urging for more episodes almost every day."

"Our official account has been flooded with comments like 'Request for season 2' and 'When will the five-year promise be filmed?'"

"The buzz is still building; should we consider follow-up plans?"

"Season 2?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qian suddenly froze for a moment.

"What, a second season?"

"It's the rematch that Jiang Liuer and Hei Mu agreed to five years later!"

Su Xiaoran reminded her.

"Many viewers are looking forward to seeing the story five years from now."

"hiss--"

Yang Qian gasped and rubbed her temples.

He really forgot about it!

Or rather, when creating the first season of "Go Master", he was more concerned with how to create a brilliant and complete independent story.

The so-called five-year agreement is more of an artistic interpretation, leaving room for the audience's imagination.

As for the storyline in the second season of the original work, which features the Go Demon King as the protagonist...

He personally didn't particularly like some of the plot developments and character portrayals.

When the exchange and adaptation were initially carried out, subsequent content was not included in the plan.

However, it's not a big problem.

For a mature creator, sometimes creating plot holes and then leaving them unresolved is the only way to maintain the popularity of their work.

Moreover, Go Master has already successfully completed its historical mission.

Promote Go culture, showcase chivalrous spirit, and revitalize related industries.

It's finished now, and I'm at the peak of my reputation.

There will be no second season.

Yang Qian shook his head.

"The story of 'Go Master' was already very complete by the end of the first season."

"Jiang Liuer has earned respect, found a confidant, made a new promise with Hei Mu, and his future is full of infinite possibilities."

"Some stories are more memorable when they stop at their most beautiful moment than when they are forcibly continued."

"what?"

Su Xiaoran showed obvious regret on her face when she learned of this decision.

As a viewer and voice actor, she also really enjoyed the work and was looking forward to seeing the story five years from now.

"How are we going to explain this to the netizens and fans?"

Su Xiaoran was somewhat worried.

"If we directly announce that there will be no second season, many viewers will probably be disappointed, and it might even damage our official account."

Yang Qian smiled slightly.

"Simple, just hold a real-life version of the 'Go Prodigy' tournament."

Su Xiaoran: ? ? ?

Director Yang, do you want to listen to what you're saying?

……

"Ke Jie, are you going to participate in a Go competition?"

The assistant asked Ke Jie after he finished his live broadcast that day.

"A Go competition? An international one?"

"Domestic."

"Not interested."

Ke Jie decisively refused.

I'm already an eight-time champion, so I'm too lazy to participate in these childish competitions in China.
