They held a press conference.

"A press conference?"

Fang Zheng took the document Zhang Siyu handed him with a look of confusion and began to read it carefully.

"Yes, Sun Qian declared at the press conference that they would invest a large amount of capital to produce their first anime, and the genre is the same as ours, a tough guy battle type," Zhang Siyu said, glancing at Fang Zheng with a worried expression. "Furthermore, Sun Qian vowed to hire the most famous artists to draw, recruit renowned directors and script editors, and even invite the hottest stars of the moment for voice acting and endorsements!"

Zhang Siyu didn't doubt Sun Qian's words at all; he had the strength to do it. With TT Group's financial power, assembling such a star-studded lineup would be incredibly easy.

"Director Fang, should we avoid their release schedule?"

After Zhang Siyu expressed her concerns with a face full of worry, she suddenly noticed Fang Zheng was laughing, and he couldn't stop.

"Hahahaha~! Damn it, these people are trying to kill me with laughter!"

"Tough guys! Battle!"

"Haha, what a tough guy!"

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

After reading the document Zhang Siyu gave him and combining it with her description, Fang Zheng could already imagine how triumphant Sun Qian must have been at the press conference.

But it was precisely because of this that Fang Zheng found it so amusing, even laughing until tears streamed down his face.

"Oh, I can't, I really can't!"

Fang Zheng was laughing so hard he could barely breathe, holding onto the table with one hand and clutching his stomach with the other. Despite his stomach hurting from laughter, he couldn't stop.

As for the names, many people wouldn't be able to tell who was who, so we'll continue to use the original names.

Additionally, thank you to "heitai," "Mo," and "Saw it" for your monthly pass support, and thank you to the user who suddenly wanted to change their name for their reward. Thank you, big shots, for your support~~~

Thank you, big shots, for your subscriptions!!!

"Director Fang?"

Zhang Siyu looked at Fang Zheng suspiciously. Was this matter that funny?

Compared to TT Group, they had no advantage in terms of lineup, funding, or promotion. Why did Fang Zheng look so happy?

Although Fang Zheng himself, as the founder of the anime, had inherent popularity, how long could his own popularity last against TT's aggressive promotion?

Fang Zheng glanced at Zhang Siyu, knowing what she was worried about.

But in his opinion, those worries were completely unnecessary.

Putting aside whether TT would even make an anime, their understanding of "tough guys" was already ridiculously wrong.

If the core concept is wrong, how can you compete with me?

"Alright, we don't need to pay attention to TT. Let them do whatever they want. We just need to focus on making our own anime and do right by the audience."

Fang Zheng waved his hand. TT might hold a high position in the internet world, but when it comes to anime, they were still far from it.

"Then, Director Fang, what is the style of your latest anime?" Seeing that Fang Zheng had said so, Zhang Siyu no longer dwelled on the TT issue.

She was also very interested in anime and enjoyed watching A Company's works in her spare time.

However, A Company currently had too few works, with only one completed anime, "Star Dream," and one currently ongoing, "Akame ga Kill!".

Although "Star Dream" was their first anime to be released, its unique melancholic nature made many people unwilling to watch it a second time.

As for the anime Akame ga Kill!, perhaps due to his personality, Fang Zheng didn't feel much after watching it, aside from the heartbreak and sadness over the deaths of Shiru, Brody, and others.

On the other hand, as the CEO of A Company, it would be beneficial to know Fang Zheng's next anime project sooner so they could start preparing the promotional plan.

As a web video platform, A Company couldn't rely solely on Fang Zheng's personal popularity to stay afloat; they would eventually have to carve out their own niche.

"A new anime, huh?"

Hearing Zhang Siyu's words, Fang Zheng smiled. No matter the time, thinking of the little lolis Hinata, Saki, and Ai always brought out a fatherly smile in him.

However, Fang Zheng quickly snapped back to reality. Zhang Siyu was still there. If he continued like this, the suspicion of him being a pervert would never be cleared.

Picking up a pen, Fang Zheng grabbed a sheet of A4 paper and, after some thought, sketched a few lines under Zhang Siyu's curious gaze.

Soon, a cute little loli wearing a blue and white school uniform, with short orange hair and carrying a red backpack,
