The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 293: Chapter 293 The Last Cooperation

The position of an agent of a management company in The ACG World was very high. Even for a junk agent, the worst choice would only be to establish a management company in a kingdom or a metropolitan-level city. The general cities were simply not qualified to invite them. If Zhou Yu had to find one, Luhua city could be considered to be qualified for inviting them. After all, they had already built a building of wonder.

However, this was just a minimum requirement.

Beidou was a management company that had a long history. It was because of various reasons that they had been suppressed and became a run-down company, and then was taken over by Xia Huan this young man. Xia Huan’s ability was definitely not weak. Although it was difficult in the early stage, he quickly gathered a group of very capable people. Together with Zhou Yu’s help, he quickly rescued Beidou from the edge of bankruptcy.

However, it was a pity that the old employees who returned for Beidou and Xia Huan both inherited the belief of the previous generation of Beidou agents, and believed that Starlight idols and fallen idols should work together. Driven by this belief, he and Luhua City got closer and closer, until now they were targeted by the Starlight City again.

Beidou’s strength has been greatly reduced. If Starlight City was still trying to suppress them, then it would be very disappointing. All the old employees of Beidou and Xia Huan unanimously decided that this was going to be the last retreat. If things really did not work out, then they would become the first management company to take the initiative to quit Starlight city after successfully establishing their headquarters inside it.

Starlight City was the highest goal of all Starlight management companies. Any management companies that could enter here should not be underestimated. So far, there were only companies that went completely bankrupt and were forced to leave the city, no one had ever heard of anyone taking the initiative to quit the city.

If Beidou really made this decision, it would obviously be shocking news.

Zhou Yu was naturally very welcome to have Beidou join in Luhua city, even if Xia Huan did not bring any employees, it still did not matter, after all, he was a good partner who he has cooperated with for a very long time.

Now, it all depended on Starlight city’s decisions.

Seeing Zhou Yu finally entered the studio again, Zhou Fu was relieved. As long as the cooperation with Qin Zhuan did not end, the amusement park would have no worries. However, this problem could also be regarded as a reminder to Zhou Fu. The amusement park could not always rely on Zhou Yu’s investment, but it should gradually become independent. In case Zhou Yu really split up with those people in his studio, they would also have a way out.

“Blood Moon Mist” was originally a sci-fi maze adventure story that tells a story about after the human entered the age of space exploration, a ruin of an ancient civilization was found on the back of the moon. Using the Moonlight city as the stronghold, an expedition consisting of twelve people that were selected from the human world, began to explore the remains.

Now there were not so many high-level idols, so the original story could only be adapted, downsizing the team of twelve. With little Muli and Bai Mo as the protagonists, as long as the events in the original story could be put into the new script, Hao Jing would put it in, plus with some of his own ideas, the new script of “Blood Moon Mist” was completed.

It could be said that this was the first movie script jointly completed by the people from the real world and the ACG world.

In order to make this movie, various science fiction props have to be completed, including a spaceship designed by the carpenter beaver, and various space scenes. The design was so futuristic that it would make anyone who had seen the set say, ‘oh, this is a sci-fi movie.’

And the stonemason monkeys’ main focus was on Moonlight City. In order to complete the design, he deliberately found a minority group called ‘moon worshiper’, referred to their architectural style, and then integrated it with the modern style, so the final design style was different from the existing architectural style in the real world.

It took a lot of effort to build a studio that made people feel like they were in the space, and this kind of shooting method also let trainee animation director Jing Ning confused.

The animation of Qin Zhuan was now only using CG, so there should be no need to create such a big film-set. Even if people wanted to use the real object as references, they normally only needed to make a part of it. No one would have time or money to make an entire film set.

Jing Ning knew that Zhou Yu was about to enter the studio and shot the scenes for Qin Zhuan studio, so he insisted on going to the studio with Zhou Yu as a trainee. He admired Qin Zhuan very much, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, why did the director of Qin Zhuan ask you to do this? Does the processing of the real scene need to be so elaborate?”

The reason why Zhou Yu would allow Jing Ning to come in was that this young man was hit hard by all kinds of criticism online, so he hoped that letting him see this would make him feel better. Zhou Yu didn’t know how to comfort people, so he could only use this method.

“Remember, you are the director of Qin Zhuan. As for the practices of these people, you don’t have to deliberately learn from them, just do what you think is the best.”

Of course, he could not learn everything from it. How could making the animation in the real world be the same as making the animation in The ACG World? What if Jing Ning also developed a habit of making a full film set before making an animation, where was he going to find a good carpenter like the beaver? And it was also very difficult to ask for help from the beaver. It was okay if it was something to do with mini Luhua city, but if it was something from the real world, there was no way he would offer his help.

Anyway, Jing Njing has seen enough, and it was better not to let outsiders see what was going to happen next, so Jing Ning was pushed out of the studio.

Looking at the closed studio’s door, Jing Ning could only sigh and returned to the headquarters of Qin Zhuan. The boss was right, he was the first director of Qin Zhuan, and should spend more of his time focusing on “Zhenbian Bedtime Stories”, rather than copying other people’s ideas. His studio must endure the pressure, and keep improving, and sooner or later, the Internet would admit that his team was the real Qin Zhuan.

What Jing Ning’s determination was, Zhou Yu did not know, he only knew that the shooting of the new animation had finally begun. In the time of being isolated, this may be the last time to cooperate with outsiders. Recalling the various smooth cooperation before, and all kinds of resources could be obtained with money, and a lot of talents could be selected at will, Zhou Yu could not help but sigh.

The lineup of Luhua City remained unchanged, but there were only two idols left in Beidou and only one with excellent attributes. Because Xia Huan has helped her a lot in the past, so she chose to stay in Beidou. The other one only had ordinary attributes, but in this movie, he could only be used as a supporting role that was slightly better than extra roles.

But even so, Beidou still had some strange talents. For example, the melancholic makeup artist Sato Yuna, who comes with a ‘black magic makeup’ skill, can complete makeup in an extremely short period of time and can increase the charm of the original character, which was a quite awesome talent.

Before getting in the characters, little Muli and other people all needed makeup. None of them played the role without makeup. Otherwise, the characters in every movie would look similar. With the help of the makeup artist Sato Yuna, it only took a moment to complete the makeup of all the actors.

“The first scene of ‘Blood Moon Mist’, action!”

Under the instruction of director Ling Daoran, the filming has finally begun.
