The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 218 The Establishment Of The Studio

The recruitment list of Qin Zhuan studio was perhaps the most ridiculous thing of the year. The two teams behind Zhou Yu were undoubtedly the top animation teams. Especially the recent Internet hit “The Little Muli’s Incredible Maze,” which has demonstrated their amazing production skills.

Therefore, when Zhou Yu intended to formally set up a studio, the industry insiders were eager to see what kind of talents would Zhou Yu hire, and the recruitment standards of both top animation studios. Moreover, what kind of people were secretly supporting Zhou Yu.

However, they were very disappointed in the end. Because all the staff of the new Qin Zhuan studio was recruited from outside. That was to say that the people from the original team would not be involved. Maybe the new studio was just doing the outsourcing work of the original team. But even if it was the outsourcing jobs, it also required skills, so why did he recruit so many inexperienced young people?

No one understood Zhou Yu’s arrangement, and then people got another piece of information. That was these young people were all decided by Zhou Yu alone. The so-called application videos that people had to send in, he just spent a few seconds watching every video, as if he was just checking their appearances, not serious at all.

What exactly was Zhou Yu doing? If he was such a careless man, why would Qin Zhuan and Beidou two studios trust him so much? There were definitely not just a few, who had offered an olive branch to Beidou and Qin Zhuan on the Internet, in which some of them were even considered very powerful and influential companies in the industry, but no one had actually succeeded in hiring anyone from those two studios.

Could there be that there were some hidden secrets behind this bizarre list?

However, after all, it was still the studio that inherited the name of ‘Qin Zhuan’ and the only team that appeared in the public under Zhou Yu’s company. Its birth has attracted the attention of many people. However, after welcoming the staff into the village, Zhou Fu, the manager of the amusement park, immediately announced to the public that all the staff of the studio would be doing the closed-door training, and they would not be participating in any work at the moment, so the park hoped that people would not disturb them too much.

Then, the gate of the residential area of the park was closed, and those, who wanted to approach them from the regular routes, could no longer approach them anymore. According to the position they were going to be assigned to, everyone would need to go through six months of intensive training. Now it was up to these kids to keep it up. If someone felt that they did not want to do it anymore, then the park would hire again, so that the team would not be falling apart.

But there were also three dazzling people that were not in the park. One was the voice actress Xiao Xi, One was the music producer Tan Xiuran, and one was the martial arts instructor Lou Xiaobao.

The park still needed to wait some time so they could hire Xiao Xi formally. After all, she was still too young, although Loli could be a very good selling point. And Tan Xiuran still has not made her final decision yet. She was still hesitant. The biggest question was Lou Xiaobao. Zhou Yu was not sure if he would come back as he promised. After all, many people would change after they became famous.

Not to mention that the entertainment circle was a very dirty community, and no matter how simple a person was, once the person got in, they might not be able to come out as pure and as clean as before. It made Zhou Yu really worry that the little simple novice monk would no longer be that pure and simple anymore.

Alas, just let fate decide it.

Whoever entered the villas inside the residential area of the park for the first time would be shocked by the design of the villas. For example Mu Zi; he had repeatedly requested to film those villas, but it was rejected by Zhou Yu every time. Those young people were no exception. While constantly taking pictures along the way, they looked forward to the villa that they were going to live in.

The headquarters of Qin Zhuan studio was a villa that was built on the edge of a lake. The scenery was very pretty, like a nature park. And this was also something that only Zhou Yu could afford to do. Zhou Fu originally thought that they just needed to build an office building, there was no need to change such a beautiful villa into an office.

However, once Zhou Yu decided, it was too difficult to change his mind.

Although Jing Ning was dragged here, he still has not given up his own animation dream. Although Qin Zhuan was famous and could make great animations, that was not something he wanted. He hoped to make something that came from his own idea.

After Xue Xueyan came back, the report she submitted had detailed explanations of the situation of Jing Ning. Although he was still just a young man, he had a big dream. He wanted to become a big animation director, rather than a robot that only knew to complete the work that was assigned to him.

Zhou Yu actually supported him to have this kind of ambition, because he knew that Jing Ning had this potential, and as long as he could calm down to study, sooner or later, he would have a big achievement. Of course, this kind of support was based on the ability to see a person’s potential. If it was in the past, he definitely would not do it.

Zhou Yu also met with Jing Ning once after he arrived at the park. After all, he would be the animation director of Qin Zhuan studio. Since he would be the core and an important member of the studio, naturally, he needed to know what he looked like.

When Jing Ning saw Zhou Yu, he immediately knew that Zhou Yu was an Otaku, just like him. Although there were a lot of rumours outside about this man, and those rumours made people feel like he was an important person, but when he actually met him, he had a kind of familiar feeling, he didn’t even feel nervous in front of him at all.

“Jing Ning, you can rest assured that you will be in charge of the studio, and make any animations you like. But you should also know that many of these people are newbies, and you must work with them and create a team that is more suitable for you and everyone else on the team.”

The reason why Zhou Yu wanted to create a studio in the real world was to reduce the mysterious feelings of two studios. In the future, he might also need to create a game development company and the comic studio in the real world as well. Another purpose was to train dazzling people, so he could increase his brain energy value, then he would be able to learn something he liked.

Therefore, he didn’t have much desire to control the studio. If Jing Ning wanted to create his own team, it might be even better. As long as everyone was happy to work together, he didn’t mind that much.

“Don’t worry boss, I will take good care of them and build a competent working team as soon as possible.”

Jing Ning was confident because he didn’t know what Zhou Yu meant by a group of newbies. He thought that they were students who had no working experience just like him but had done well in school. In fact, there were some, who had never even learned any of the relevant skills before. And the reason why they applied for the job was that they liked animations.

But when Jing Ning found this problem, it was already too late for him to quit. He could only curse Zhou Yu secretly in his mind while trying his best to build a good team.

After the conversation finished, Jing Ning also received a lot of strange books from Zhou Yu. Almost every position had one book.

Zhou Yu would not teach them in person, nor would Beidou or Qin Zhuan appear in the amusement park. He had made this very clear. Everything needed to depend on students to learn by themselves. Those who were experienced could help those who were inexperienced, and as the leader, Jing Ning needed to supervise the study.

As the leader of such a bizarre training class, it must be very difficult.
