The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 290: Chapter 290 “Blood Moon Mist”

Zhou Yu was prepared for the disappointment in advance. After all, this was the first work of Qu Zhuan Studio, the first step from a novice to a professional. Although they had received a short period of training, at the most, they were just considered to be a bunch of semi-professional novices, so the quality of their work was definitely not going to be very high. However, Zhou Yu was still slightly disappointed with the quality of the picture he saw.

Their production quality was probably similar to that of the tier-two animation of the animation base. Although it wasn’t very good, compared to other shitty domestic animation, it was already not bad. But for Zhou Yu, who has been accustomed to at least tier-three animation or above, it was still not satisfactory.

Seeing that the boss was not very satisfied, the director, Jing Ning could only sigh and said, “it couldn’t even reach my standard, let alone Qiao Zhuan’s standard, but it is exactly this kind of work that let us know what we need to improve. Boss, I hope you can understand.”

“Okay, let’s start the formal production after the holidays. But you have to remember that this is by no means the work that Qin Zhuan and I want to see. It must get better, and add more of your own ideas into it.”

Qin Zhuan animation studio did not release a new work for a long time, originally, Zhou Yu thought that having this Zhenbian bedtime stories was more than enough. However, with this kind of production level, any of the tier-three animations on his computer was much better than this. So, this kind of work was really not enough to cause an impact.

But now he couldn’t make any new animation, even if Xia Huan was willing to cooperate with Luhua City, but he could only provide idols and film crew, but the problem was the script, which he couldn’t get.

Just when Zhou Yu was thinking about whether he should choose one of the tier-three animation movies on his computer to be released as the work of Qin Zhuan, he saw Xia Huan hurriedly trotted towards him from the portal, sweating. After arriving before him, he said in a panic tone, “I have terrible news, Starlight TV station has canceled our show Blood Moon Mist and our cooperation with them was suspended!”

“Blood Moon Mist” was the third season of “little Muli’s Incredible maze”. This variety show was currently very popular and was listed in the top twenty shows on the Starlight TV station. This result was very rare for the a-rated variety show; it could be said that the future of this show was very promising.

However, even this kind of popular show was also stopped within any prior notice. The reason Zhou Yu could think of was that they were now targeting Luhua City.

Xia Huan gritted his teeth and said, “I did some digging. Han Buer of Starlight TV station’s variety show department hinted to me that the decision was not made by the people from the TV station. Instead, they were very interested in the city of chaos and even wanted to set up a news station here, and they also wanted to make a documentary film about this city. However, some people from the top have been trying to suppress this matter recently. It seems that they are trying to blacklist Luhua city.”

And the people from the fallen city were probably doing the same thing. It seemed like the peaceful day was finally over.

Zhou Yu sighed and said, “I didn’t expect that the reaction of the ACG world would be this big. Anyway, there is no need to talk about Luhua city, how is your Beidou now Old Xia? ”

Speaking of this, Xia Huan became even angrier, “They are throwing stones at me when I’m drowning. A while ago, with the help of the popularity of “The little Muli’s Incredible maze”, Nandou couldn’t do anything to my company. Now they finally had a chance, they are trying to take a lot of connections back. My connections became a lot weaker now.”

Xia Huan was indeed having a bad time. Originally, he relied on this variety show to expand his company’s business, but now it was suddenly canceled, of course, they would suffer huge losses. It was at this time that other management companies also took the opportunity and used all kinds of methods to make idols leave Beidou company and join them.

So the current situation of Beidou was precarious.

Because of his own situation, Zhou Yu didn’t expect that his friends would suffer like this.

“Old Zhou, you don’t have to worry about me. I have been through many things, so I’m still able to handle it. I just need to get through this difficult period. But if I come to seek help from Luhua city during this time, please don’t kick me out.”

Although Xia Huan joked, this thing still gave him some headaches. His company’s business was constantly being taken over by other people, and his idols have also left his company like dominoes. Now he only left with a couple of idols. But he didn’t know how long they would remain. If those last few idols also left, Beidou would only have a bunch of Moe coins that they would get from the idol transfer, but they would not be able to start their business anymore.

While the two sad brothers were sighing together, the messenger of the Fallen City came to Luhua city to offer their condition. The condition was very simple, that was, let the idols of Luhua City participate in the TV program “The Ultimate Death Show” on the fallen TV station, so that the fallen city would stop the sanction on Luhua City.

The ultimate death show, as soon as Zhou Yu heard the name, he instantly knew that this was not a good show. It was definitely a show that was used to satisfy those fallen city’s citizens’ twisted desires.

“Screw you! The King of thieves, punch this guy as hard as you can! Keep hitting him until you see ten bumps on his head! ”

Zhou Yu was really mad. Did other forces really think that Luhua city would not survive without them?

After punishing the guy for threatening him, Zhou Yu felt slightly better. He then said to Xia Huan, “Old Xia, I have seen the script of Blood Moon Mist, it is a very good story, in fact, it can be made into a movie. Since Starlight TV doesn’t want it, I will do it. ”

“I think this is the only way. Let me join you as well. I want to show those bastards that Beidou will not disappear. But Old Zhou, the Starlight TV station and the Fallen TV station will definitely not broadcast our work. We will need to talk to the smaller TV stations, but the price they offer will definitely not be high, so you must control the movie budget. Otherwise, we may not even be able to get the investment back.”

It was naturally impossible to change a variety show to a movie in other places in the ACG world, but it was not impossible for Zhou Yu. He had his own network in the real world, so it would not be difficult for him to find a screenwriter.

Hao Jing, the screenwriter of the Qin Zhuan studio, used to be a dishwashing worker, and later, he was hired by Zhou Yu to learn how to be a screenwriter. Although his otaku power has not reached the dazzling level, his 6.9 otaku power was the highest among all screenwriter candidates, and his talent was not bad either, so it was worth training him.

After finding him, Zhou Yu took out the variety show script of “Blood Moon Mist” that he printed out last night and said, “little Hao, can you modify this script and make it into an animation movie script.”

Hao Jing had just completed the script work for “Zhenbian Bedtime Stories” and was packing up and ready to go home for a holiday, but he did not expect the boss would give him a task at this time. And only when Zhou Yu saw Hao Jing was packing up his own things did he just realized that it was almost the Chinese new year, so he could not force other people to work at this time.

“Ah no, you can take this with you, and work on it after you come back, there is no need to rush.”

Alas, it is almost the new year again. Zhou Yu decided to have a fun new year holiday first and deal with those little forces in the ACG world next year.
