New Century Anime Warrior

Several weeks had passed since Si Hua's conversation with Chen Yan, but he did not hide the content of the conversation from Pan Lei and Lin Lin, especially the other party's strange solicitation, which he recounted to Pan Lei word for word.

Because Chen Yan's first point was that he hoped Si Hua would become his personal partner, rather than inviting Si Hua to join Universal immediately.

It seems that this Mr. Chen has his own ulterior motives.

Revealing the entire content of the conversation to Pan Lei does not mean that Si Hua has completely and unconditionally given up his autonomy.

Instead, I understand that I am not qualified to be the player in this game.

Why not let the immortals fight each other first? Both sides will have expectations of their own abilities, and neither side will lose out if they win.

However, through the information about Chen Yan that Si Hua obtained from Pan Lei, Si Hua seemed to understand what he meant by "we'll fight our way out."

This innovative content strategy manager is essentially a realist with a strong Chinese preference, and an elite representative who grew up in the Global Greater China system.

In terms of factionalism within the group, the Greater China region not only suffers direct suppression from the Americas headquarters and the European headquarters.

Moreover, as an important part of the Asia-Pacific region, it is also targeted and hampered by the pan-Asian forces of the Asia-Pacific headquarters.

In particular, these pan-Asian forces have been trying to "de-Sinicize" Chinese music, which has made the younger generation in Greater China, where Chen Yan is from, very dissatisfied.

Just like their recent promotion of the K-POP model in India, Thailand and other places, the essence is to remove local culture.

So when we type it out, it means exactly what it says.

Chinese culture is being promoted abroad.

They even launched a counterattack against Europe, America, and Pan-Asian relations.

When Si Hua recalled the phrase "Let's fight our way out," he felt like he was Benbo'erba from Journey to the West.

Huh? I should get rid of Tang Sanzang and his disciples?

However, this aligns perfectly with Si Hua's deepest cultural strategy.

Holding a wealth of cultural nuclear weapons in the world of anime and manga, they're bound to unleash them sooner or later.

What is being promoted doesn't necessarily have to be Chinese culture; it can also be telling Chinese stories.

but not now.

I'm still too naive and weak. At most, I'm just a 17-year-old high school student who has only been back in the world for less than half a year.

However, this does not prevent me from initially regarding Chen Yan as an important future partner. As long as this person remains true to his original intentions, he will be a reliable partner, and everything can be discussed.

After everyone maintained a tacit understanding, Chen Yan didn't follow up further and never mentioned the adaptation of the short animated film "Voices of a Distant Star".

Si Hua was also able to focus on creating the PV version she was preparing for the competition.

-----------------

While Si Hua was in near seclusion, the original audiovisual competition for teenagers in Guangnan Province became a nationwide sensation.

It's fair to say that its popularity was somewhat unexpected.

From the outside perspective, this competition was, after all, jointly organized by the official departments, local media giants, multinational cultural groups, and multiple art colleges.

In terms of scale, it is only slightly inferior to those national-level youth competitions led by ministries.

Although it was clearly stated that the participants were secondary school and vocational school students from Quang Nam Province, the geographical limitations were significant.

However, as the first step in the project to create high-quality cultural programs for young people, it still garnered significant attention across the country.

This is somewhat similar to the Scottish Premiership, which emerged out of nowhere in later generations. Although it was a regional league, it still ignited the emotions of many more people.

In the education sector, although the education departments of various provinces are still observing, they have actually started preliminary research on various similar competitions, and many drafts have been put on the desks of the provincial party committee leaders in charge, waiting for discussion.

Now we just have to wait and see how much buzz and reputation this competition in Quang Nam province can generate, and then we'll decide how much resources each province is prepared to invest in following up.

Among the stakeholders in Quang Nam Province's secondary schools, this suddenly emerging competition, while disrupting many people's college application plans, is nonetheless a significant and officially recognized event.

So middle schools are busy assessing the chances of winning awards, teachers are busy researching which students have special talents, and parents are busy inquiring about connections and favors...

Only the vast majority of middle school students are confused.

Huh? An audiovisual competition? Are we making animation? Or music videos? Are they similar to those catchy Flash animations of popular songs online?

Have I studied this before...? Is it too late to learn it now?

Those in the cultural and entertainment industry, especially the film and music sectors, are also keeping a close eye on this competition.

In fact, they are not paying attention to this regional youth competition, which is limited to middle school students. Even their own talent network will not focus on this type of competition.

To put it bluntly, they don't think there will be any special gains; if a seedling can't grow into a big tree, then it's meaningless.

They prefer to focus on competitions at the university level.

The reason they are focusing on this youth audiovisual competition is because Universal Music, a major player in the industry, is involved.

We all follow the same path, so who doesn't know who?

You're making such a big fuss, you must be planning something big!

There's definitely a conspiracy!

After all, before the entertainment ecosystem entered the era of internet capital frenzy, these traditional multinational entertainment giants were the industry's bellwethers.

Especially for Sony and Warner, two long-time rivals with Universal, studying what Universal was really after in organizing this competition became a crucial issue.

It can't be Figure 160, can it?

It is said that these giants have spent a lot of resources collecting a lot of rumors, some true and some false, from multiple channels.

But Si Hua knew that at least 80% of these rumors were just smokescreens deliberately released by Global Times.

From a global perspective, while it's unclear what outrageous conclusions these peers might reach, it doesn't stop us from adding to their frustration.

The most plausible rumor is that Huanqiu received an official meeting, and this youth competition in Guangnan Province is a pledge of allegiance to the authorities.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have started up so suddenly and so quickly.

Not only did it gain the endorsement of the Communist Youth League and the Department of Education of a province, but it also secured the support of a regional cultural giant for the event.

Even the identities of several informants who wished to remain anonymous were uncovered, revealing clear motives.

That's right!

Everything makes sense now!

This has really worried other cultural giants like Sony and Warner.

How can you hog all the profits from such a huge new market?!

Rumors spread like wildfire throughout the industry.

Some well-known large companies have also begun to quietly contact local officials, making the already turbulent sea even more turbulent.

Of course, for the vast majority of netizens, all this excitement is just for show. Some forums and some bored fans even started using "Happy Beans" (a type of virtual currency) to entertain themselves.

Who knows how they're planning to guess this bean?

Amidst this pre-storm revelry, Si Hua unexpectedly enjoyed a period of focused effort with relatively few distractions.

Of course, I'll have to send the academic review materials again.

To celebrate National Day, the 180-second hand-drawn animation and nearly 60 3D special effects shots, created from over 700 keyframes, required for the PV version of "Voices of a Distant Star" have all been completed.

In particular, the 3D special effects shots can even meet 70% of the requirements when they are adapted into short films in the future.

Exceeding the target is considered a success.

So, in the cafeteria of the No. 1 Middle School, Si Hua stood on a fixed chair, one hand clenched into a fist, the other hand in a sword palm, and waved it forward.

We solemnly announce that "Voices of a Distant Star" has entered its final sprint stage, and post-production work such as editing, sound effects, dubbing, and subtitles will officially begin.

"That classmate!"

Yes! I'm talking to you!

Get down from the chair right now!

Are you trying to emulate Lenin?

If you don't sit, the other students will!

Remember to wipe it clean!
