Anime Production, Starting with Healing the Audience

Undoubtedly, Fang Zheng had given them a warm home within ACG, but at the same time, Fang Zheng had also made it clear that the daily maintenance and cleaning of this home would rely on everyone's joint efforts.

"To be honest, regarding the events of the day, I personally don't feel particularly angry. I know my fans have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and understand the role Company A played in the entire incident."

The atmosphere in the livestream room turned heavy. Only a few bullet comments scrolled by, all of them urging Fang Zheng not to get too worked up.

Fang Zheng was genuinely grateful for his fans' concern.

This was the spirit of 'Life abuses me a thousand times, I treat life as my first love'!

Thinking about how he had teased his fans before, Fang Zheng felt a pang of guilt. He felt he had done... too well!

"However, our Company A's CEO suffered injustice and quite a scare. You must know that the membership fee standard this time was the minimum standard calculated by our CEO."

At this point, Fang Zheng smiled wryly. "Oh, right, you don't need to wonder who the CEO is. Esdeath from Akame ga Kill! is voiced by her. You can look forward to it~!"

"Esdeath's voice acting? Your company's CEO is too much of a multi-talented person~"

"I feel like even the person who cleans the toilets at Company A might be a graduate of a key university!"

"Standing up for your subordinates, from now on we'll call you Boss Fang!"

"Big Shot Fang, is your company still hiring?"

"..."

Upon hearing Fang Zheng defend his company's CEO, netizens in the livestream room were filled with envy. An boss like this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime find!

Looking at the bullet comments in the livestream room, Zhang Siyu, who had just finished her work, stretched. A warm current flowed through her heart.

"So he started the livestream to vent my anger for me~"

Looking at the handsome face on the screen, Zhang Siyu's pretty face was tinged with a blush.

It was true that she had a rather assertive personality, but fundamentally, she was still a woman. No matter how strong her personality, she still hoped to find a shoulder to lean on.

She had previously planned to live her life alone, but now it seemed she just hadn't met the right person.

Please, big shots, give me lots of support~~~~~~*

In the livestream room, Fang Zheng, completely unaware that a single sentence had deeply touched someone, continued to chat with his audience about all sorts of things.

"Thank you all for your tips. Thanks to you, I can have an extra fried egg with my breakfast tomorrow~"

Ever since Fang Zheng's livestream room enabled the top-up channel, the audience's tips had never stopped.

As Fang Zheng had said, these fans were quite tsundere. They might say harsh things, but their care and support for him had never wavered.

"Is your fried egg made of gold~!"

"Good heavens, tens of thousands of yuan in tips is just one fried egg to you?"

"Here's a joke for everyone: Big Shot Fang can't even afford a fried egg!"

"My dear viewers, if I remember correctly, eggs are less than forty cents each, right~"

"..."

Fang Zheng smiled wryly as he looked at the audience who had started a mode of playful teasing because of his words. He then glanced at the clock on the wall.

It was almost half-past eight. The livestream had been going on for over an hour without him realizing it.

"The second matter for today's livestream is about the upcoming new work. I will specifically open a voting system on the Company A forum, and the content of the creation will be decided based on the number of votes from the audience."

Now that Akame ga Kill! was completed, all that was left was to broadcast it episode by episode according to the plan.

He, on the other hand, needed to use this time to prepare his new work. Otherwise, by the time Akame ga Kill! finished airing, he might not have enough time.

Fang Zheng did not want Company A to fall into a period of stagnation. If he wanted to build the ideal ACG golden age he envisioned, a sufficient quantity of anime works was indispensable.

"New work?! And voting?"

"Big Shot Fang, are you letting us decide the style of the new anime?"

"Big Shot Fang, why are you suddenly being so nice to me? I'm feeling a bit creeped out, what should I do?!"

"Productive like a mother pig, Big Shot Fang, well done!!!"

"..."

Upon hearing Fang Zheng's words, the livestream room exploded.

For people like them who loved anime, what could be more appealing than a new work?

In an instant, to express their joy and support for Fang Zheng, the tips in the livestream room flowed as if they were free.

Fang Zheng felt both pain and happiness from this. The happiness was naturally because the fans were tipping him, indicating he still had considerable popularity.

However, saying thank you after every single tip, Fang Zheng felt his throat was about to go dry.

"Ahem, alright everyone, that's probably enough."

"No!"

"Stop!"

"No! Stop!"

Don't stop???

Seeing Fang Zheng's disheveled state as he constantly drank water to moisten his throat, and listening to what he was saying, the viewers in the livestream chat went wild with laughter.

To make Fang Zheng feel the sensation of being overwhelmed by money, some prank-loving fans even changed their rewards to small amounts, initiating a barrage of messages.

"Guys, did you hear what Big Shot Fang said? Don't stop!"

"Keep it coming! Keep it coming!"

"2333, I feel like Big Shot Fang is about to be broken by you guys~"

"Big Shot Fang is so pitiful to have fans like you, but damn, I'm so excited!"

Listening to Fang Zheng shouting "Don't stop," a group of unscrupulous viewers became even more enthusiastic with their rewards. And to make Fang Zheng suffer the pain of receiving rewards, the cunning fans all switched to small-amount rewards.

Fang Zheng, realizing this, rolled his eyes speechlessly, knowing that if this continued, it would never end.

There were thousands of fans, but he was only one person. Two fists couldn't fend off four hands, but if he couldn't fight back, couldn't he at least dodge?

"Huh~ Why did the lights in my study go out?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng picked up the remote to turn off his study light. While pretending, he said, "I'm sorry everyone, there was a sudden power outage. Today's livestream ends here. Don't forget to go to the forum and cast your vote for your favorite anime genre."

With that, Fang Zheng walked to the computer and reached out as if to turn it off.

"That's strange, why did the power go out all of a sudden~ Did I forget to pay my electricity bill?"

Muttering to himself, and with Fang Zheng's awkward and exaggerated acting, the livestream screen flickered and then went black.

"...Seriously, could you be any more fake!"

"Damn it, the computer still has internet, and the livestream is still on, but you're telling me the power went out?"

"Big Shot Fang, next time you say the power is out, can you please put down the remote in your hand first? This is clearly insulting our intelligence!"

"What kind of power outage? Can't you find a better excuse? Even saying you had a stomachache would be more believable!"

The viewers in the livestream chat, looking at the black screen of the computer, continued to send bullet comments, expressing their disdain for Fang Zheng's flimsy excuse to end the stream.

This was clearly toying with their intelligence!

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. After watching the latest episode of Akame ga Kill! tomorrow, please remain rational and don't act impulsively. Impulsivity is the devil."

"That's all, goodbye everyone!"

The audience stared blankly as the livestream was reopened, only to be blacked out again at lightning speed within five seconds, leaving them with confused eyes.

It was as if they were asking, Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

"No, what does Big Shot Fang mean by this?"

"Power outage?? Twice?!"

"After hearing Big Shot Fang's words, I suddenly have a bad feeling!"

"You're not alone upstairs, I think Big Shot Fang must be holding back some big move for us!"

Although the livestream was blacked out, many viewers remained, leaving messages and discussing what Fang Zheng's last sentence meant.

What happened in the latest episode of Akame ga Kill! tomorrow? Why did Big Shot Fang specifically tell them to restrain themselves and be rational? Could it be that Big Shot Fang was going to flake out again?!

Many fans strongly condemned Fang Zheng's action of hooking their curiosity but not revealing the outcome.

These fans were all restless, their hearts itching like a cat's paws, caught in an agonizing state of anticipation.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Many fans who watched the livestream tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and cursed Fang Zheng endlessly in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, Fang Zheng slept soundly until morning without a care in the world. After breakfast, he went to the company and started the poll on the forum.

"Poll 1: Must-watch for tough guys!"

"Poll 2: German orthopedics!"

"Poll 3: Sweet to explosion!"

"..."

"Guys, the voting has started, let's go, let's go!"

"What's with these categories? I don't understand."

"What does 'must-watch for tough guys' mean?"

"How sweet is 'sweet to explosion'? Has anyone tried it?"
