Honkai Impact 3rd: Starting with creating an anime version of Honkai Impact 3rd

Chapter 218 Trailer/Promotional Video

After the office fun, the three-day holiday quickly came to an end.

Yaqing had a very pleasant holiday.

The trailer for "Honkai Impact 4: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky" was released, and the explosive storyline it contained instantly went viral online.

"Finally, you gave in."

Kiana, dressed as the Queen of the Sky, coldly and mockingly looked at Kiana in white robes kneeling on the ground, as if watching a clown as she was about to raise her gun and commit suicide.

"Now is not the time to despair, Kiana."

Fu Hua's voice rang out, the screen went black, and when it lit up again, it was no longer the same scene as before, but in the ruins amidst the sea of ​​fire, with broadcasts repeatedly telling people to go to the shelter for safety.

"Ah, help!"

A mother and child were tightly embracing each other as the Honkai Beasts pressed closer. Kiana, on the other side of the wall, watched this scene unfold, her fists clenching tightly, while Fu Hua's voice echoed in her ears.

"Kiana, you can no longer come into contact with Honkai energy."

Kiana gritted her teeth.

"Let's go, there's nothing you can do right now."

The camera suddenly zoomed in on Kiana's azure eyes, bringing her to a space where Theresa and Mei were coldly watching her.

"Kiana, I'm so sorry..."

"I... had no choice but to do this..."

Kiana looked bewildered, but the deadly attack that followed forced her to dodge. Just as Mei's attack was about to land on Kiana, the camera shifted again.

"My strength is waning, and I can no longer take care of your mental state at all times."

"Take care of? It's more like surveillance, isn't it?"

On the bridge, Kiana and Fu Hua seemed to have a fierce argument. Then, several images flashed by quickly: Kevin sitting on the throne, Himeko walking out of the broken mirror, Durandal standing on a giant vine confronting Mei, and Mei crying while hugging her coat.

The images flash by so quickly that it's difficult to see them clearly; you have to pause the video to see what it depicts.

At the end of the promotional video, Himeko has her back to Kiana.

Kiana, what are you waiting for?

The drawing went completely dark.

With only two lines of text, it reads: "Honkai Impact 8: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky" will be released in theaters worldwide on August 14th. Stay tuned!

The release of the promotional video sparked heated online discussions, which were roughly divided into two groups.

One group believes Himeko is not dead and will return when Kiana is on the verge of suicide. The other group believes Himeko couldn't possibly be alive, and that the Himeko in question is likely an illusion created by Fu Hua to stabilize Kiana's mind.

Regardless of the speculation, no one believed that Kiana would actually shoot herself, which greatly disappointed Yaqing. He had deliberately used this as a smokescreen, but no one fell for it.

"Boss, I told you long ago, no one is stupid enough to think they can kill the protagonist."

At a high-level meeting within the Far East branch.

Shub said helplessly to Yaqing.

Ya Qing ignored everything and focused intently on the comments and bullet screens below the promotional video.

The women exchanged glances and came to a conclusion.

This child is probably ruined.

"Damn, it's Fu Hua again! Every movie features Fu Hua; she's more like the main character than the bug. Maybe we should rename it 'Fu Hua IV: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky'?"

"So what if I, the Crimson Lotus Immortal, live a little longer? When the pre-civilization movies come out, Fu Hua will still be there."

"Wasn't Fu Hua killed?"

"Divine magic, boy."

"That's not what I want to see." Ya Qing was anxious. He wanted to see the speculation about Ji Zi, not a discussion about how much longer Fu Hua could live.

Shi Yu Qi Luo looked at Ya Qing with a pitiful expression.

If Yaqing looked up, she would probably feel a sense of familiarity; that look was exactly the same as the look Mei gave Kevin when they were eating breakfast, when she said there was a devil in his eyes.

"This kid is definitely ruined," the genius Patrick concluded.

Yaqing kept refreshing the comments.

Soon, several comments caught his eye.

[“Himeko is back! I knew she wouldn’t die so easily. As expected, the Honkai Impact series doesn’t involve any angst, not even a little bit. /crying”]

"From the last lesson until now, I still can't believe Himeko is dead. I don't know why you all cried your hearts out back then. It's so simple, how could you just kill off an important character?"

[Reply: "Wait and see if I'm proven wrong."]

[Reply: "That's hindsight. I didn't believe you made that guess before the movie was even released."]

[The original poster replied: "I'll just say this: if Himeko really dies, I'll livestream myself eating Oli Gei (a popular Taiwanese snack)."]

[Reply: "Squat."]

Ya Qing became interested, not because the other party was eating "Oli Gei" on live stream, but because he could sense from this comment that the audience still had doubts and uncertainties about Himeko's death.

"Boss, is Himeko dead or alive? Give me a straight answer," Shub couldn't help but ask.

As senior executives in the division, apart from Salome, who was the executive producer and had access to the scripts for the later films, other executives like them only received the script texts when the film production began.

In Yaqing's words, she didn't want to extinguish their anticipation for the script.

But there was something Shub wanted to say to Yaqing. Although she hadn't lost her sense of anticipation, her curiosity had been piqued, making her even more uncomfortable.

"Yaqing, have you not made up your mind yet?" Shiyu Qiluo couldn't help but feel suspicious when she saw Yaqing constantly browsing the comments on the internet about Ji Zi's life or death.

"Himeko..." Yaqing pretended to be thinking hard, which made the women serious and their anticipation was aroused again.

"Like life."

Yaqing's answer left the women feeling like they had a lump in their throat, unable to breathe, and they really wanted to curse.

"cut!"

After the meeting ended, the women left the conference room without stopping, afraid that if they stayed even a second longer, they would be tainted by bad luck.

"Huh?" Yaqing sighed helplessly. If it weren't for the need to produce a movie, he wouldn't even want to give them the script.

Put aside your personal qualities and enjoy a life of immorality.

Yaqing began reading the comments again.

It wasn't until the afternoon that his afternoon tea time arrived.

"Lord Yaqing, this is your afternoon tea for today: Black Forest mousse cake and macarons, served with warm milk. I hope you have a pleasant day ahead." Rita opened the door and placed the desserts on the tray one by one on Yaqing's desk.

"Rita, your cooking is getting better and better!"

Yaqing used a fork to pick up a piece of Black Forest cake and put it in her mouth. The sweet taste instantly filled her mouth, and she squinted her eyes happily.

"Making your work enjoyable is my duty as a secretary," Rita said, neither humble nor arrogant, a smile always on her lips.

Shub always mocked Rita for trying to please her elders for the sake of beauty, and Rita never denied it.

Chapter 219 Premiere Ceremony / Both Fall into Silence

Time quickly came to the premiere of "Honkai Impact 4: When a Meteor Strikes the Night Sky". The "rich and powerful" CEO Yaqing once again booked an entire screening room. As he walked the red carpet under the spotlight, the flashes and shutter sounds of the cameras made Yaqing extremely uncomfortable.

"Here you go, Ellie, the four buckets of popcorn you wanted." Qianjie and Su each carried two buckets of popcorn as they struggled through the crowd.

"Thank you, Su, and thank you, Qianjie." Alicia took a bucket of popcorn from Su's hand, her face beaming, and said, "Please, please, could you help me bring it into the screening room?"

The gentle Su needs no further explanation.

Qianjie snorted coldly, "Hmph, troublesome woman."

Even so, Qianjie still held the two buckets of popcorn.

"Qianjie, thank you, you're so kind~?"

"Don't talk back, I think differently than you do."

Qian Jie was wearing sunglasses and a mask, completely covering his face, so his expression was impossible to see. But Alicia thought he was smiling, no, he was definitely smiling.

Möbius was looking at Ya Qing under the spotlight.

Alicia leaned closer and said, "Professor Möbius really wants to walk the red carpet."

Looking at Kiana in her elegant gown and Mei beside her, Alicia said with a hint of envy, "I wish I could walk the red carpet too, Fairy!"

"Go ahead and think about it, I'm not envious at all."

The stubborn snake would never reveal her true thoughts to the pink-haired fat woman; she would only say, "Alicia, can you finish four large buckets of popcorn? I heard you've reached 55 pounds..."

Before Mebius could finish speaking, Alicia hurriedly covered her mouth, while Snake glared at her with displeasure.

"Don't round up!"

Alicia still had a question in her mind. She had only ever weighed herself in her bedroom and had never stepped on a scale outside. How did Mebius know that?
