Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Jing Ning’s Story

Translator: Doggotranslation

At one glance, people could immediately tell the difference between the quality of the two animations. However, both animations were said to be produced by the same Qin Zhuan studio. It was no wonder that people would want to compare them.

Soon, everyone discovered that the information of the group that everyone said was fake could be found online. On the official website of Qin Zhuan Studio, people could see everyone’s photos and their detailed career information. However, the genuine one was still all in black silhouettes, with only names and professional information, it was extremely mysterious.

Did Zhou Yu deliberately make those two groups of people compete with each other?

After being badly criticized for a long time, “Zhenbian Bedtime Stories” finally got some positive feedback. After all, it was only compared with the real Qin Zhuan studio, so naturally, it would look too bad. However, actually, its quality was not that bad. Coupled with the lead singer Mu Jiajia’s appearance and singing skills were also not bad, they already had a group of fans.

Moreover, the little dazzling Loli, Xiao Xi, who was still in secondary school, was also called to participate in the dubbing of “Zhenbian Bedtime Stories”, and the little Loli’s sweet appearance also received a lot of support. To be honest, her image may even be better than Mu Jiajia, and Mu Jiajia could easily fall into relationship problems. To be honest, Zhou Fu was more willing to focus on training Xiao Xi.

However, it was a pity that Xiao Xi was still too young. Even after the new year, she was still only fourteen years old. There were too many variables in her future, so she could only be arranged as a temporary employee for the time being. In the end, Zhou Fu decided to wait for some time. If she was still willing to stay in Qin Zhuan studio, then he would start to focus on training her.

Zhou Fu only focused on the value of one’s future, but Zhou Yu mainly looked at the changes of those dazzling people’s descriptions. By observing these people, Zhou Yu discovered one thing, that was, people with higher Otaku power were more susceptible to the influence of the ACG world’s force, and some strange things would quickly appear on their bodies. It would take one month for the changes to occur on the average people after they arrived at the amusement park, while it would only take the dazzling people one week.

Another important discovery was that the moon flower on director Jing Ning finally became a full moon.

When there was no response from the girl, it was destined to be a heartbroken flower. Jing Ning, this young man was a complete tragedy. His love and work have all suffered setbacks, and it was already quite incredible that he could still work as normal.

Perhaps it was because there was no response, so the full Moon Flower did not produce any idols, but a little werewolf showed up from his heart and was howling at the full Moon Flower constantly. The poor little werewolf was crying that its secret love was lost before it even started.

It was very distressing to watch. Zhou Yu could only pat Jing Ning’s shoulder trying to comfort him. However, this made Jing Ning feel very confused. After all, he had never made his secret love public, and he could never have imagined that such a deep secret love would be known by the boss.

After the little werewolf howled for a while, the full moon flower was finally opened, revealing a thick black-framed book hidden in the center of the flower. He truly was a director. He could even produce such a long essay for a broken love. Zhou Yu was completely impressed by him.

The black book was then taken away by Zhou Yu. The words in the book were too small, so he decided to let little Niannian read it to him later. Originally, Zhou Yu wanted to find little Muli to read it to him, but when he thought that she was a girl, and this was a secret love story written by a boy, then it would be very awkward. And although Jing Ning looked like a good young man, what if inside he was very naughty, or if the story he wrote contained some indescribable scenes, then it would be extremely embarrassing.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu still underestimated Jing Ning’s imagination.

Under normal circumstances, the book that was produced by a person, who had a broken love, should be a love story, right? Naughty ones would produce indescribable scenes, pessimistic ones would produce sad scenes, and optimistic ones would produce a happy ending. However, what Zhou Yu didn’t expect was that Jing Ning actually produced a science fiction horror story!

Goddamnit! Who would produce a science fiction horror story after a broken love?

Zhou Yu was completely speechless. But at the same time, having this kind of strange imagination, he was really suitable for a directing job. Zhou Yu sincerely hoped that he would continue to create more strange but wonderful works in the future.

This “Phantom Mind” story was the same as Lou Baobao’s “Heartless Girl” story, both of which were consumable items that could be used to make games, which were relatively precious. It was just a pity that there were no prototype characters in this one, otherwise, Zhou Yu would be able to get a new character.

The opening chapter of the “Phantom Mind” talked about a person, who was hit by a car and then fell into a vegetative state. But because of an unknown reason, he was able to enter his own mind. This world inside his mind was very terrifying. There were various bloody monsters wandering everywhere. Every time a boss monster was eliminated in an area, the brain would restore its function a little, and then some memories would be restored.

The story was quite interesting, with an American horror story feeling. Zhou Yu was even a little addicted to listening to it. However, the little Niannian suddenly stopped and said, “Daddy, it’s finished. There are just blank pages afterward.”

Goddamnit!

Just like Lou Baobao, the subsequent plot still needed to be pieced together a bit by bit. However, there was no character in this story, and the little werewolf has also returned to his heart, and there was no sign that it would come out at any time, so where should he go to find the clues to continue the story?

Jing Ning’s story originated from the little girl in the dubbing group. The flower seedling was produced from a crush. But why would it become a science fiction horror story?

This mystery was worth exploring.

Since Zhou Yu had nothing to do at the moment, he decided to find it out. Otherwise, he would not be able to fall asleep because of the cliffhanger.

Based on the experience he gained from Lou Baobao’s quest, Zhou Yu guessed that he would most likely be able to get a clue from Jing Ning’s crush. The girl was currently dubbing for Zhenbian Bedtime Stories, so it was normal that he showed up in the dubbing room.

This dubbing room was built not long ago, and these trained dubbing actors would not only work for Qin Zhuan studio, but they would also be arranged to dub the works that were taken from outside.

It was still the same management style. Zhou Yu would not interfere with how it was operated, and Zhou Fu would be running everywhere to hire other voice actors and find jobs for them to practice. With the fame of Qi Zhuan studio, they could still find some works and slowly gather their popularities.

Jing Ning’s crush was currently working in the recording studio, but Zhou Yu just came over to show his face. He didn’t even talk much. Most of the time he only talked to the dazzling loli, and then he just waited there to see if he could find any clues.

Lou Xiaobao’s story was mainly played by Lou Baobao herself, so Zhou Yu felt that he shouldn’t need to do this quest himself. He just needed to let Jing Ning meet this girl, and then the story would naturally continue.

However, after spending a long time in the studio and until the dubbing group finished recording, the plot still didn’t move forward!

Goddamnit, Jing Ning, what kind of story are you writing!?
