Chapter 335: Theatrical version "Twin Flowers" and Yun Ruoxi's Fan Meeting

Any single barrage comment picked at random was enough to terrify the carapace race as it quickly scrolled across the screen.

The spaceship that had successfully entered the interior of the star system changed direction.

Before long, an enormous azure elliptical planet, thousands of times larger than Earth, appeared in front of the spaceship.

Lin Zhen and the others stood up and gazed through the dome window at this life-bearing planet that had given birth to the carapace race—Shell Star.

The next second, the progress bar reached its end, and the shot froze there, declaring the complete end of the second episode of the second season.

However, Yun Ruoxi, who was in the System Space, looked at the temporarily darkened Anime Screen on the computer provided by the system. She merely blinked, and the screen lit up again, with Lin Zhen’s figure appearing on it.

‘It’s time.’

Yun Ruoxi murmured to herself, minimized the anime screen to the side, double-clicked to open the green bubble on the desktop, and sent a message to the first chat window.

“Dear teachers, the preheating promotion activities we previously agreed upon can start today (fist-in-palm gesture). As for the specific release date of the Theater Edition, it needs to be postponed by one week. I will negotiate and report with my friends at the theaters.”

“Understood, understood.”

“Received.”

No sooner had the message been sent than dozens of replies popped up.

Yun Ruoxi glanced over, confirmed that the staff from major video platforms and theaters had all replied, and then directly closed the work group chat named “‘Starfall’ Theater Edition China Region Promotion Group.”

The third reward for being first in the First Season Popularity Settlement of the ‘Starfall’ anime was the space-time operation rights for the ‘Starfall’ anime. This reward allowed her to conduct one anime operation activity per month.

Although the operational funds were limited, perhaps because she also had the identity of the Theater Edition producer, the two combined allowed her to transform and become the person in charge of promotion for this Theater Edition in the China region.

And Yun Ruoxi naturally would not waste such a good opportunity.

A long time ago, she had been thinking about how to promote and advertise in order to fully exploit the potential of the Theater Edition.

Now… the opportunity had come.

‘Originally, my purpose for making this Theater Edition was only to show the audience those five years that couldn’t be placed in the Main Storyline, to evoke their pity for me… but who knew that the plot I chose for the Theater Edition would unexpectedly have a very deep connection with the main storyline.’

Yun Ruoxi looked at the Theater Edition poster set as the desktop and curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

There was naturally more than one Theater Edition poster.

But only this one was personally designed by her, her proudest work that best matched the film’s theme.

The style of this poster was very simple—it was contrast.

Above the endless field of Coronal Sunflowers, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was clear and beautiful blue.

Aili, wearing the same white dress as Yun Ruoxi in the first season’s OP, lay sideways among the flowers, as if asleep in the breeze, her eyes closed, her face full of tranquility and ease. The whole picture gave a sense of peaceful tranquility.

But with the flower field as the boundary, below the waist of the poster, there was a completely different, entirely inverted world. Spider Lilies sparsely grew in the cracked earth.

In this world, everything was bright red. The ground was bright red, the sky was dark red, and Spider Lilies bloomed one after another within.

A blue-haired girl with an exquisitely refined face lay among the Spider Lilies, surrounded by scattered bones and shattered weapons.

She also had her eyes closed, her profile facing Aili’s, but her mouth was slightly open, her face covered in blood and sweat.

The Starforce Battlesuit on her body was tattered, revealing white, delicate skin stained with dust and scratched, as if she had just ended a battle and was lying on the ground catching her breath.

The upper and lower worlds were almost perfect mirror images.

Only the bodies of the two girls crossed the boundary of the flower field like a manga double-page spread, embracing each other in a virtual hug.

[Twin Flowers]

Three art words in blue-gray gradient color, not complicated but clearly legible, carrying a unique beauty, fell diagonally between the girls.

At the very top and far right of the poster, lines of red text were written respectively: the promotional slogan and the name of the Theater Edition.

[One pair of sisters, two worlds, same stem but different flowers]

[‘Starfall’ Theater Edition: Twin Flowers]

As for the release date, it was at the bottom of the poster:

[March 22, global simultaneous release, be there or be square]

March 22 was the day after the launch of the seventh episode of the second season, a date Yun Ruoxi had set long ago.

It carried significant meaning. In her original script, her alt account, [Dark Dust], would be revealed at the end of the eighth episode.

And the Theater Edition, premiering seven days earlier, could generate hype and momentum for it.

But now, everything needed to change. The matters of hyping and generating momentum were no longer so important under the active cooperation of Dr. Forefinger.

A plan adjustment was needed, because she had an even more explosive idea, worth taking a risk to adjust the entire plan.

The Theater Edition would become the key to unlocking the audience’s questions, revealing the past darkness and her own sacrifices.

Its importance rose accordingly, so it needed to be postponed by one week: that is, March 28.

Yun Ruoxi checked; there were no holidays on that day, so adjusting the schedule should be fine.

After all, when the Theater Edition passed censorship, for some reason, the State Administration of Radio and Television had opened the door wide for it.

So many bloody and violent scenes passed censorship without a single cut, which was quite impressive.

At the time, Yun Ruoxi even suspected that maybe the system daddy was secretly lending a hand.

‘Twin Flowers…’

Yun Ruoxi murmured the name of the Theater Edition, then suddenly burst out laughing with a “pfft.”

This time, Dr. Forefinger had once again outsmarted himself, only to shoot himself in the foot.

She shook her head, enlarged the anime screen on the computer, and was about to continue following the series to confirm Lin Zhen and the others’ progress, so that the doppelganger could prepare.

But just then, the green bubble in the bottom right corner suddenly flashed, and a message from a Bilibili staff member caught her attention.

[Bilibili Live Stream Liaison]: Miss Yun, hello. Since the Theater Edition is to be postponed, should the originally scheduled “Yun Ruoxi” fan meeting event also be postponed by one week?

Looking at the slightly awkward event name, Yun Ruoxi was startled.

‘Yun Ruoxi fan meeting…’

Dead memories began to resurface in her mind.

About a year ago, after completing the Theater Edition, she had hurriedly used her promotion permissions to formulate a series of promotion plans and contacted staff from major video platforms and theaters.

However, this “fan meeting” was not proposed by her, but by Bilibili itself.

They said that “Yun Ruoxi” was the most popular anime female character in the past year, with endless fan creations on the site.

Especially the Chinese dub version, which was unusually well-received.

But unfortunately, the voice actor for “Yun Ruoxi” rarely made public appearances, only occasionally showing up in behind-the-scenes videos.
