By this time, the entire venue was already filled with people. As the ten o'clock bell rang out, the conference room quickly fell silent. The Wenlian vice-chairman, Cheng Dequan, who resembled a Maitreya Buddha, sat at the front hosting desk. He first stood up to salute the audience and then spoke into the microphone, "Colleagues from the animation industry, I am Cheng Dequan, vice-chairman of the Zhonghai City Wenlian. The ten o'clock bell has sounded, and I now declare the Heavenly Country Animation Brand Summit—concerning the future development directions of Heavenly Country Animation, and the feasibility seminar on adapting IPs such as web novels and web dramas into manga—officially open!"
Applause crackled through the room as the animation summit officially began.
