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

Yang Qian did indeed bring gifts to visit Mr. Chen Guorong.

Two boxes of Hakimi North and South Green Bean Milk, and two small plush toys.

In addition, there are several first-print limited edition art books of "Ultraman Tiga" and "EVA" personally signed by Yang Qian.

This is something you can't buy anywhere else.

Chen Guorong was overjoyed to see these local specialties.

"Great, great! This stuff is really good!"

He looked at the signature of "Ah-Guang" on the artbook and smiled.

"My grandson keeps talking about how his classmate's dad has a poster signed by Ah Guang."

"Now I can finally show off in front of that old man!"

Yang Qian sat down with a smile.

"I'm glad you like it, Mr. Chen."

"Director Yang."

Chen Guorong brewed some tea, his tone filled with emotion.

"Your popularity is really soaring lately."

"Animation, tokusatsu, collaborations, merchandise... they've succeeded in all of them."

"Young man, you're remarkable."

"Mr. Chen, you flatter me. It's all thanks to luck and everyone's support."

Yang Qian said modestly.

Chen Guorong waved his hand.

"Hey young man, when you achieve something, you should be a little arrogant! Be flamboyant when you should be, show off when you should!"

Being too modest can make you seem hypocritical and make people look down on you.

Yang Qian nodded.

"Then I'll have to speak out on Weibo."

Chen Guorong almost spat out the tea he had just taken a sip of, and quickly coughed and waved his hand.

"Ahem... Never mind! You should keep a low profile! Pretend I didn't say anything!"

This kid is scared.

After the joke was over, Yang Qian got down to business.

"Mr. Chen, the main reason for this visit is to..."

"Trying to steal my gold coins?"

Chen Guorong put down his teacup and slowly replied.

Yang Qian: "Mr. Chen, you should probably watch fewer short videos..."

Are elderly people now surfing the internet in such a trendy way?

They can readily use trending internet memes.

"Ha ha."

Chen Guorong smiled.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."

"Speak, what do you want? Although I'm about to retire, I still have some influence in this circle."

He naturally knew Yang Qian's habits.

People who bring local specialties to a door usually have something in mind.

Moreover, what they seek is often not money or worldly possessions, but rather talent or resources.

In the park manager's office, Li Lin, who was engrossed in reading documents, suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Achoo!"

He rubbed his nose.

"That's strange, I don't feel cold at all. Could it be the flu?"

He casually took a mask from the drawer and put it on.

"Mr. Chen is wise."

Yang Qian is no longer beating around the bush.

"We still need voice actors. We don't have high requirements. We just need a few more people with Xiao Ran's level of skill."

Chen Guorong's eyes widened.

"Do you think people with Xiao Ran's abilities are as common as cabbages?! They're everywhere!"

Yang Qian chuckled: "That's why I came to find your vegetable garden."

Chen Guorong pointed at him irritably.

"You little rascal! The reason I sent Xiao Ran to you was firstly to thank you for the practical things you did for the voice acting industry, and secondly because that girl herself was determined to go to the Land of Light."

"Otherwise, with Xiao Ran's qualifications, wouldn't she be able to pick any big company she wanted? Why would she need to go to that little workshop you used to work for?"

Yang Qian suddenly realized that it wasn't just good luck that she got an SSR from a regular pack.

"Didn't you sign quite a few voice actors before? Isn't that enough?"

Chen Guorong asked.

"That's not enough!"

Yang Qian immediately complained and started counting on his fingers.

"Look, over there, in the 2D animation field, Cardcaptor Sakura is still airing, and new projects are already in preparation."

The 3D animated series "Lolo's Adventure" is currently in a heated competition with penguins, and they need more people to work on it.

Needless to say, tokusatsu is another story. "Lava just aired, and movies like Jack, Ryuki, and Ultraman Tiga are in preparation..."

"Which one doesn't need voice-over?"

"Moreover, according to the rules of our Land of Light, rest is guaranteed during the project period, and paid leave is provided after the project ends."

"All things considered, manpower is actually tight. A voice actor may be involved in two or three projects at the same time, and the pressure of switching voices and adjusting state is very high."

After listening, Chen Guorong looked at Yang Qian with a complicated expression.

He had seen many companies with good benefits.

But some countries, like the Land of Light, prioritize employee well-being and creative quality over profits.

Those who are even willing to increase costs for this are extremely rare.

He suddenly wondered: Does the Land of Light accept older voice actors?

This old man, he could respond to the call for delayed retirement and continue to contribute his remaining energy...

Yu Hua, who was engrossed in reading the script in the Land of Light, suddenly shivered and looked up at the air conditioner: The temperature is just right.

"There are some at Xiao Ran's level, though."

Chen Guorong spoke slowly.

Yang Qian's eyes lit up: "I knew you had some in stock!"

"but."

Chen Guorong then changed the subject.

"They've all basically signed with companies and have contracts with them."

"If you want to dig, that's fine, but you'll have to pay a hefty penalty. Are you willing to do that?"

Yang Qian waved his hand.

"Understood! These can't be touched. As for those you recommend next, Mr. Chen, as long as their business skills are up to par and their character is sound, we'll take them all!"

Chen Guorong: "..."

I really don't like talking to this kid; he's exactly like that other guy.

He suddenly remembered Yu Hua, who had been out of contact recently. Where had that old guy gone off to have a good time?

Yu Hua (in the office of the literary advisor in the Land of Light): He is probably dead. Don't worry about him.

Chen Guorong took a sip of tea to calm himself down.

"Alright, I've been keeping an eye on a few promising new talents lately. They all have a good foundation and good potential."

"But they're all girls. Isn't your Land of Light all about action, mecha, and tokusatsu? Can you handle something geared towards girls?"

Yang Qian panicked when she heard this.

"Heaven and earth bear witness, Mr. Chen! Why did we stop making anime aimed at girls?"

"Haven't you seen Cardcaptor Sakura? It has a 9.6 rating and is a viral sensation! Sakura, Tomoyo, aren't they all girls? Our 2D animation department is currently preparing a new project, also aimed at women!"

Chen Guorong thought about it. He had indeed watched Cardcaptor Sakura and found it quite interesting, with its cute art style and heartwarming storyline.

"Alright then. I can introduce you to the person, but I have one condition."

"Please speak!"

"These newcomers are my grand-apprentices, with impeccable backgrounds, and were carefully trained by an old friend of mine."

Chen Guorong looked at Yang Qian with a serious expression.

"Giving them to you is fine, but you can't just use them as ordinary voice actors and call it a day."

"You have to create a work tailored to them. The subject matter doesn't matter, but it must bring out their strengths and ideally become a hit."

Chen Guorong's biggest concern is that Yang Qian is taking too big a step and launching too many projects, which leads to the dispersion of resources and newcomers not receiving enough attention and training.

In that case, giving them more good seedlings would be a waste.

"Well……"

Yang Qian stroked his chin and pondered.

"What? Is it difficult?"

Chen Guorong raised an eyebrow.

"If it's difficult, they can give up. I won't force them. They can develop their careers at other companies."

"Old Chen."

Yang Qian raised her head.

"How are the singing and dancing abilities of your grand-disciples?"

Chen Guorong was taken aback.

"Singing and dancing? Their basic skills are pretty good."

"Most voice actors have some background in singing, dancing, and acting; vocal training is a required course. Why are you asking about this?"

Yang Qian didn't answer, but continued, "So how many of them were there in total?"

"nine."

Chen Guorong replied.

"They were all classmates and got along quite well, so I thought of recommending them as a group to avoid separating them."

"nine……"

Yang Qian repeated in a low voice, unable to suppress the upward curve of her lips.

nine?

Good singing and dancing skills?

Newbie?

Good relationship?

What a coincidence!

"Old Chen!"

Yang Qian slapped her thigh.

"I want them all! All of them, take them all! Not one less!"

"Don't rush."

Chen Guorong waved his hand.

"What about the project details? I need to see what kind of project it is first, and whether it's worth entrusting my children to you."

"Don't worry! I'll send the information to your email later! But you absolutely must keep track of him! Don't let him get away!"

Yang Qian said urgently.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Guorong had a better understanding of what was going on.

This kid seems to have some real ideas.

……

Back in the Land of Light office, Yang Qian packaged the prepared project proposal and sent it to Chen Guorong's email address.

Half an hour later, Chen Guorong's reply came.

"The personnel information and contact details have been sent to Xiao Ran. She will handle the arrangements. Do a good job."

Hey, it worked!

Yang Qian excitedly pumped his fist.

The 2D animation team has new work to do!

And it's a completely new track.

I glanced at the calendar; today is December 12th.

Tomorrow is the official launch date for the first season of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things".

He was really looking forward to it.
