The Rise of Otaku Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Chapter 228 the killing intent within the imperial city

Translator: Doggotranslation

Lou Xiaobao was a good boy with a simple mind. This was something that everyone on the film set knew. Liu Gongcai, who was entrusted by Zhou Fu to help take care of him, also had no doubt about this. It was really hard to find such a simple young man nowadays. He heard that it was because he had been living in a temple on the mountain and had no contact with society.

It was because of this simplicity, it was easier for him to have an accident in the entertainment industry. It made Liu Gongcai wonder why Zhou Yu wanted to let this young man get into the entertainment industry, without giving him enough protection.

If Xiao Bao had his own manager, he would have been told to watch his words and behaviors to avoid getting too intimate in public. However, Liu Gongcai also could not blame him for everything. Liu Gongcai has seen several actresses always staying around him. But this one was really too close, and her identity was also a little sensitive.

Female leads and Male leads were originally the people that would attract the most attention of paparazzi, plus the promotion of the film “assassin” was also currently in full swing, if someone captured this scene and released it to the public, it would definitely cause a huge stir. However, it may also be a deliberately staged hype. With the character of Xiaobao, if he really fell in love, his heart would be broken in the future.

Liu Gongcai didn't say anything, but later on, he called Zhou Fu and indirectly mentioned this thing. If Lou Xiaobao really wanted to enter the entertainment circle, they needed to find a real management company as soon as possible, otherwise, the probability of having accidents would be very high.

However, Zhou Fu also couldn't do much. Zhou Yu asked Xiaobao to choose his own future, while Xiaobao was hesitant and did not know what he wanted. The only thing that Zhou Fu could do was to entrust that martial arts instructor to tell Xiaobao more things about the entertainment industry. He hoped that by doing this, he would avoid choosing the wrong path.

The sad thing was, eventually, Xiaobao was still heartbroken.

Perhaps this was really just a way to promote the film, but in the film set, the relationship between the two young people, who were less than twenty years old, was getting closer and closer. Lou Xiaobao, this naive young man really believed that they were in love, and he seemed to be very happy about it. Under some people's deliberate manipulation, some magazines began writing articles about this, and a variety of intimate photos started to appear one by one.

After the name of the film became a popular search term, the film also finished, and then Lou Xiaobao discovered that he was unable to contact the girl he loved again.

The poor Xiaobao's first romantic relationship just ended like that.

In this world, Xiaobao only had one relative, it was his master, and the senior brother Zhou Yu could only be considered as half of his relative, because after all, the time that he had spent with him, was not that long. However, his master had gone to travel around the world to seek Buddhism's knowledge without leaving any contact information to him, so when he was heartbroken, he could find only his senior brother.

A few days later, Xiaobao returned to the amusement park.

However, Zhou Yu also did not know how to comfort Xiaobao, because he never even had a romantic relationship with anyone. How was he supposed to comfort him?

At the moment, Zhou Yu could only hope that after some time, Xiaobao would forget that girl.

………

Before Xiaobao came back, Zhou Yu was very busy shooting the second season of the Little Muli's incredible maze – the killing intent within the imperial city.

This season's props were still very magnificent. Zhou Yu directly created an ancient city. There was a palace, and outside the city there were barracks, and he even built an old river port. Although its design did not involve many mechanical parts like the props in the first season, it was much more sophisticated and visually appealing. Because this season was not about mechanics, it was about a historical suspense drama.

While a general, who was stationed on the country's border, was accused of treason and being escorted back to the capital city, it exposed the chaos behind the royal court. With the emergence of various factions behind the scene, it eventually led to the power struggle between three princes.

The twelve invited guests entered the capital city as the twelve outstanding talents, who were elected in the general election that had been arranged by the emperor. Since they were outstanding talents, they would naturally be invited by various factions. If they refused the invitations, they would naturally be suppressed and framed, or even assassinated.

How to survive in the chaos of the royal court, what would be the final political situation, who would be the next emperor, and what would happen to that general, would all depend on the specific performance of the twelve guests.

To tell you the truth, Zhou Yu himself was also looking forward to the show.

Only the six guests from the last show would be kept in this show. And this list of guests was not decided by Zhou Yu, nor was the list decided by the producer Oba. Instead, a popular survey was conducted on the Internet, where the top six were retained and the last six were eliminated in favor of another six guests.

As expected, Yi Nian, Black And White Rose, and Lily Queen, the three popular guests stayed in the next show, and although Wu Yifan won the competition of the last show, because of its despicable performance, he was ranked the last in popularity. So he could not get into the second season of the show.

Although Zhou Yu personally did not dislike the actor, the result was the result. He must respect everyone's choice.

The second season has been adjusted to include some special guests, which were from the anime and the games that need to be promoted through the variety show. It took a lot of effort to invite them in the ACG world, although Zhou Yu didn't actually spend any Moe Coins, and he just needed to show the permission he got from the real world, inviting them to join the show, he needed to sign all sorts of documents with Star Light City, it was very troublesome. For this, Xia Huan almost ran to all the departments of Star Light city.

No matter which world, it was not easy to deal with the government department.

The appearances of these special guests were in fact at the end of each episode. When the shooting of “the killing intent within the imperial city” was finished, Oba edited the show into 12 episodes. Each episode would feature several special guests, who would interact with each other through VCR and guess the fate of each talent.

Once again, Zhou Yu locked himself in the studio for more than half a month to finish the shooting of the show.

The biggest trouble during this period was probably the disruptive item called “plan killer”, and the person, who used this item, was very likely to be one of the six guests, who failed to get into the second season of the show.

This plan killer did not directly cause damage to the show, but sneak into the story, possess the emperor, and nearly order the guards to kill all the twelves talents. Fortunately, Oba noticed it in time and secretly asked little Firefly to disguise herself as a eunuch steward. Then the little Firefly gave everyone an excuse, that the emperor didn't feel very well, and pulled the plan killer to the backstage to kick his ass and then arrested him.

And the biggest highlight of this season, for Zhou Yu, was the debut of Bai Mo.

Originally, Bai Mo was against the decision of joining the variety shows. Not only did he not like the variety shows, but with his current look, he was extremely reluctant to appear in public. But eventually, he still joined the show this time. It was not that he was forced to join the show, but he personally asked Zhou Yu that he wanted to join the variety show. The reason was that he suddenly had an inspiration.

In the ACG world, music was not something that could be made easily. Even if it was a composer, they still needed inspirations before they could start producing music.

And Bai Mo's inspiration seemed to come from the second season of the show, so he could only participate in this variety show to collect his inspirations.

Reluctantly, he could only choose to appear on camera.

As one of the imperial harem members.
