An Idea

"I can't believe it! What's going on? Zhao Yongbai and Jiang Qi just joined Tianxing like that? I'm in tears. Their animated works were such a big part of my childhood. Neither of them officially retired, but I thought they'd made enough money and called it quits. I never imagined we'd see a day like this!"

"They're both only in their forties. What are you talking about? Retiring? That's way too young!"

"Could this be that saying about honing a sword for ten years? Come to think of it, neither of them has done much in the past decade. Maybe their earlier works were so iconic that they were hard to surpass, so they stayed quiet for so long. Damn Tianxing, they only gave us half the story. They said the two had joined, but not what they'd be doing there!"

"Whatever happens, I'll support Zhao Yongbai and Jiang Qi's works the moment they come out. Their standing in the Dragon Country Animation Industry probably isn't any lower than Teacher Shui Xin's was before he was banned. Teacher Shui Xin still has almost two years before his ban is lifted, so it'd be great to have a few more old masters around to liven up the animation scene!"

"When it comes to long-running animated series, Teacher Shui Xin's track record is practically unbeatable on paper. But Teacher Zhao Yongbai's works are so iconic. They might not be as commercially successful as Teacher Shui Xin's Lelouch or Madoka, but countless people in Dragon Country grew up watching his animations! Teacher Jiang Qi, meanwhile, has focused on animated films, a genre that doesn't overlap much with Teacher Shui Xin's work. Still, all three are clearly at the same level. Teacher Shui Xin's just so young that he might be at a disadvantage
