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

Finished watching the third episode of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things".

As usual, Lao Zhang subconsciously moved the mouse, looking for the "Buy Next Episode" or "Unlock All Episodes" button.

No.

He then looked at other parts of the page.

Entry points for "Member Exclusive", "Paid Viewing", "Coin Support", and "Charge Incentive".

Still not.

This means that "That Rabbit" is completely free.

Old Zhang gasped, and his body involuntarily leaned back.

From the perspective of a professional content creator.

The production quality, script depth, and emotional impact of "That Rabbit" would definitely be top-tier content of S+ level on any platform.

It could easily be used as a premium paid service or an exclusive annual membership program for the platform.

There is even a large market for selling digital or physical collector's editions separately.

What exactly is the background of this production team?

What's the point?

Even Everbright Securities wouldn't do something so wasteful, would it?

The only way to express support is through that little "like, comment, and share" button.

Without hesitation, Lao Zhang liked, gave coins, and added it to his favorites.

After thinking about it, I used all ten recommendation votes that I had saved up in my account for a long time.

"Next up, episode four."

He got up and went to the living room, took a whole box of tissues and placed it next to the monitor, and then opened a bottle of sports drink.

I took a deep breath and sat back down at the computer.

He's going to finish watching "That Rabbit" today.

As for crying?

I cried twice, and my eyes were swollen from crying. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

……

The office of the head of the animation division at Tencent Video headquarters.

Wisteria has also finished watching the first three episodes of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things".

She leaned back in her chair, remaining silent for a long time.

As a top trader in the industry.

She knew how enormous the impact of this animation would be.

But A-Guang completely abandoned the possibility of direct commercial monetization of this work.

"That Rabbit" is broadcast online for free, and even the logo of the Land of Light has been removed.

What kind of vision is required for this?

The wisteria flower slowly exhaled.

She shut down the backend data monitoring page and, as usual, did not immediately convene the team to analyze the opponent's strategy and formulate a countermeasure.

Today, on this special day, we are faced with such a work.

She temporarily forgot about business competition, KPIs, and market share.

She just wanted to be a viewer, quietly watching the remaining nine episodes.

So she clicked on episode four.

……

Episode 4: The Hero Returns

Episode 5: The Wanderer Returns

Episode 6: Negotiation and Mushroom Eggs

Episode 7: The Difficult Rise of Basic Industries

……

Each episode corresponds to a deeply memorable period of history, encapsulating the struggles and sacrifices of a generation.

Using the simplest animation language, it tells the deepest story of patriotism and family affection.

There were no slogans, no preaching; it simply used animation to recreate that original story.

I've watched all 12 episodes.

Old Zhang sat in the chair, not moving for a long time.

"This anime... is really good."

Old Zhang sighed.

Although he did not personally experience those things.

But through "That Rabbit," he seemed to feel the dedication and sacrifice of the older generation.

He opened the "Animation Section UP Master Exchange Group" again, and it was already flooded with messages.

Many people have already watched the entire series and are enthusiastically analyzing it frame by frame.

"Brothers, I bet the creator of 'That Rabbit' is a history buff! Look at the infiltration scene in episode three, the rabbits' rations are fried noodles, that detail is so realistic! Historical records show that fried noodles were the main food ration at that time!"

"Not only that! Look at the five-pointed star on the rabbit-shaped military cap; its design has subtly changed in different periods, perfectly matching historical research!"

"Let me just say this: the initials for 'rabbit' and 'bald man' are both 'TZ' in pinyin. Is the author implying that they are from the same family, sharing the same roots? This design is brilliant!"

"Holy crap! The person upstairs is an expert in details! Thinking about it, they're right!"

"And 'Japanese chicken' is obviously a transliteration pun; those who know, know the author's attitude towards Japan."

"Tch, who doesn't have some historical sentiment towards Japan? If you ask me, those two mushroom eggs back then were purely their own fault."

"Ahem, be careful what you say, there seems to be someone from the Sakura Province in the group..."

A message popped up immediately.

"I was born in the Sakura Province, but I was born a person from Great Xia and have never considered myself a Japanese person."

History is history; what should be acknowledged must be acknowledged, and what should be remembered must be remembered.

By the way, I also agree with the opinion above.

At this moment, the UP master [Old Tomato], who has been lurking for years, suddenly posted a high-definition screenshot.

"Look what I've found."

The screenshot is a frame from the end credits of the final episode of "That Rabbit".

[Old Tomato] magnified a portion of it more than ten times and sharpened it.

At the end of the densely packed list of acknowledgments and staff.

A line of tiny print, easily overlooked, has appeared.

[Director/Screenwriter/Art Director: A-Guang]

The group chat exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Ah Guang?! Is it really Guangda University?!"

"Wait, is that Hikaru from the Land of Light animation studio I'm thinking of? The Hikaru who wrote 'Ultraman Tiga' and directed 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'?!"

"Nonsense! Besides him, who else in the entire industry dares to call themselves Ah Guang? Who else has the ability to create 'That Rabbit'?!"

"Now that you mention it, 'That Rabbit' does indeed seem like something out of a Guangda production!"

"@Dami! Editor Dami! Come out here! Stop playing dead! Is this really Everbright Securities?!"

The editor, DaMi, who had been lurking in the chat, saw the messages tagging him in the group chat flooding the screen and knew that he could no longer hide it.

He could only silently post a Nike logo.

Rice: I just posted a product icon. I just want to buy a pair of Nike shoes to wear.

"The rice is confirmed! It's solid evidence!"

"Let's go! Let's go to Everbright's Weibo and offer our condolences! Let's ask him why he made us cry over the weekend!"

"Please provide a portal!"

"+1!"

"Let's go together!"

……

Weibo account.

The comment section of 【Light Country Animation Studio - Hikaru】.

"I came here because I've heard so much about it! I heard that 'That Rabbit' was made by Everbright Group? Is that true?"

"No need to hear about it, it's already confirmed! Screenshot here! [Image]"

"Waaaaah... Guangda, you have no heart! You tricked me into crying on the weekend! My eyes are all swollen from crying, and I have a blind date tomorrow! How am I supposed to face anyone now?!"

"Don't panic, ladies upstairs. Maybe your blind date's eyes are swollen too..."

After all, anyone who doesn't cry after watching "That Rabbit" needs to have their background checked (lol).

"Guangda, you're making 'That Rabbit' under an assumed name and releasing it for free, what's the point? How much money are you losing?"

"Some things cannot be measured by money. The appearance of this animation on this day is the answer in itself. Salute, go forth."

From Ultraman Tiga to Dekaranger and then to That Rabbit...

Everbright, who exactly are you? (Tears welling up)

Yang Qian scrolled through the comments section, feeling both touched and somewhat surprised.

He had clearly placed his signature in the smallest, most inconspicuous position.

Are all these netizens looking at animations with a magnifying glass?

Detectives, they're all detectives.

Just as he was about to select a few replies, his phone vibrated and he received a WeChat message from Li Lin, the park manager.

"Director Yang, just letting you know that the entire series of 'Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things' will be broadcast on Princess TV tonight at 8 PM."

Yang Qian replied.

"Okay, received."

Just as his finger left the send button, he suddenly realized something and abruptly stopped.

and many more!

8 PM tonight?

Isn't that the daily update schedule for "Dragon Domain Sky" on Tencent Video and "Super Guardian" on Lizi Entertainment?

It's also peak time for internet traffic!

Was the timing of the Sixth Princess's choice a coincidence or intentional?

He hesitated for a moment, then asked anyway.

"Um, Manager Li, at 8 PM, TV ratings might not be able to compete with online viewership, right? Wouldn't that be a bit...?"

Li Lin's reply came quickly.

"Peace of mind."

"Since the Sixth Princess has set this time, she must have her reasons."

"Internally, everything has been coordinated, and we will provide some publicity support to help boost viewership."

Yang Qian said politely.

"There's no need to go to such lengths, it's kind of embarrassing..."

"Are you still pretending?"

Li Lin retorted without hesitation.

"I mean, how about I post something on Weibo and let my fans watch it on TV if they can? That would be my way of doing my part."

Li Lin comforted him.

"It's up to you. Don't put pressure on yourself. Take it easy. Fewer people watch TV these days, so there's no need to worry about ratings."

Even so, Yang Qian immediately edited a Weibo post.

[Light Country Animation Studio - Hikaru]:

"As everyone has guessed, 'Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things' was indeed written by me."

Thank you to all the viewers for your love and support.

There is another matter I would like to inform you of:

Tonight at 8 PM, Princess Six will broadcast the entire series of "That Rabbit".

For those of you who have TVs at home and can receive channels, please feel free to tune in if it's convenient.

The post on Weibo went viral instantly.

The number of views has exceeded 200,000 and continues to rise at an astonishing rate.

"As expected! It's Everbright! It's confirmed!"

"Guangda's work is on TV! And it's on Princess 6! We have to support it! The whole family will watch it together tonight!"

"So here's the problem: my TV hasn't been turned on in a long time, is the set-top box still powered? And shouldn't the remote control batteries be replaced?"

"I'm a student living in a dorm without a TV. Are there any online live streaming options? Urgent!"

"We also need online live streaming channels! We can't let Guangda's works go unnoticed on television!"

……

At the headquarters of Tencent Video, Wisteria saw this Weibo post.

She silently turned off the data report for episode 4 of "Dragon Realm Sky" that she was analyzing.

She leaned back in her chair and sighed silently.

The same scene also occurred in Wu Dashan's office at Lizi Entertainment.

Two managers from different companies, separated by a city, simultaneously had the same thought.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to snag any internet data at 8 PM tonight."
