Anime Production, Starting with Healing the Audience

He was about to go down for breakfast, but as soon as he got out of bed, he received a notification from Weibo.

The only person he followed was Fang Zheng, also known as Pi Pixia.

Thinking of this, Chen Qian's sleepy eyes instantly widened. He grabbed his phone, wanting to see what the latest news was.

The voting incident on A Company's forum back then was practically a naked declaration that their beloved Big Shot Fang was preparing a new work.

Could it be that there was news about the new work?!

Chen Qian couldn't contain his excitement; at that moment, he even felt like crying a little.

He was just one of millions of anime viewers. Like most anime fans, he had participated in the online mobbing incident and earned the title "Till Death Do Us Part."

Just like most people, while he liked and supported Fang Zheng, he also wished he could give him a good beating face-to-face.

Currently, A Company, and even the entire internet, only had two anime: one was "Star Dream," and the other was "Akame ga Kill!," which was still being serialized.

It was true that they liked anime and acknowledged that these two anime had brought them a lot of emotion and memories.

But they weren't masochists. Anyone watching such depressing content every day would go crazy!

Therefore, when Fang Zheng announced the news of producing a new anime, the vast majority of fans were overjoyed, but also silently worried.

They were afraid that Fang Zheng would release another depressing masterpiece. If that happened, it would be the death of them.

It was no exaggeration to say that the tough guys in their dorm would gather at night to watch "Akame ga Kill!" and cry like children, their good mood for the entire day ruined in just twenty minutes.

Later, Fang Zheng opened the vote, which gave the fans a feeling of seeing the sun after the clouds had cleared.

Finally, they no longer had to worry about the depressing aspect, because the choice was in their hands.

Even though they didn't understand what Fang Zheng's anime classifications meant, based on their intuition, most people felt that "must-watch for tough guys" definitely wouldn't be the depressing type.

No matter how you looked at it, "tough guys" represented passion and excitement, which had nothing to do with being depressing.

So, the vast majority of fans cast their votes for "must-watch for tough guys." They didn't believe Fang Zheng could still surprise them in a roundabout way this time!

This was also the fundamental reason why "must-watch for tough guys" had such a commanding lead in votes!

If Fang Zheng knew this reason, he might spit blood. It turned out that all of this was ultimately his own fault.

However, the moment Chen Qian opened his phone and saw the dynamic, he froze completely, as if he had seen a ghost, and stopped moving.

"Holy crap, you old thief Fang Zheng, could you be any more of a beast!"

A roar erupted from the male dormitory, filled with grief and humiliation.

As one of the people who had sent "warmth" to Fang Zheng, Chen Qian had split a month's worth of food expenses with his roommates back then, all to express his dissatisfaction with Fang Zheng.

"I admit you're the number one person in anime, you're very talented.

But can't you learn from conventional TV dramas and give the audience a happy ending?

They don't hate tragedy; appropriate sadness can actually greatly enhance the audience's immersion.

However, "Akame ga Kill!" had long surpassed the concept of 'appropriate.' Every time it updated, they were on pins and needles, afraid that the next moment their favorite character would die tragically before their eyes.

Truly watching for one minute, and being depressed for the entire day!

They thought their silent protest would make Fang Zheng restrain himself a bit, but what did he see?"

Fang Zheng, whom they admired so much, had managed to absolve himself completely, as if the entire matter had nothing to do with him from start to finish.

How could they stand for this?!

So, all the enthusiasm they'd poured out before was simply pocketed by your department head, and you, you didn't receive any of it at all?

Those local specialties, who were they for? You dare say you have no idea?!

At this moment, Chen Qian was completely flustered.

He knew Fang Zheng was shameless, but he never imagined Fang Zheng could be so utterly shameless.

"Hey, Old Chen, what are you yelling about so early in the morning!"

"I was depressed all night and just fell asleep when you woke me up. How are you going to compensate me?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did someone else die? Tatsumi? Akame? Or is it me, Queen Esdeath?!"

Seeing his roommate startled awake from his dream, Chen Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Damn, they were completely obsessed, bringing Akame ga Kill! into everything.

"I don't know what to say, you guys just look at it yourselves~"

Chen Qian handed his phone to the roommate closest to him, letting them pass it around to view Fang Zheng's post.

"Scum!"

"Pervert!"

"Crazy!"

"Screw you!"

Like Chen Qian, several roommates thought about the box of local specialties they had painstakingly sent, only to find out it had no effect!

How could there be such a shameless person in the world?!

After speaking, they looked at each other, then all sighed helplessly, their voices filled with the weariness of having weathered many storms.

What could they do? They were desperate too~

Ding dong~

[My new work, "Wataten!: An Angel Flew Down to Me," will be officially released on the A Company platform on November 1st. Please look forward to it!]

"Old Chen, what's wrong again? Is that scumbag Fang Zheng acting up again?"

"Damn it, if he keeps messing around, I'll go to Qinghui Building and block him!"

"I'll go even if it means facing ten thousand enemies, let's go!"

Hearing the special notification sound, several roommates reflexively shouted in anger.

These poor kids were still children who hadn't left the ivory tower. Encountering an idol like Fang Zheng, whom they both loved and hated, was simply a sin.

"N-no, it's, it's..."

Chen Qian looked at the content on his phone, his words becoming somewhat incoherent.

Was this the legendary slap followed by a sweet date?

Big Shot Fang's move was brilliant!

"Big Shot Fang has a new work coming out, officially launching on A Company next month, the first. A must-watch for tough guys, "Wataten!: An Angel Flew Down to Me"!"

Chen Qian, after calming his roller-coaster emotions, announced it almost at a shout.
