The Rise of Otaku Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Chapter 292 The belief of Beidou

The concentration of the ACG world's force? What an interesting new word. Zhou Yu could not help but think that if the concentration in the real world was off the chart, would the real world become the ACG world as well? Zhou Yu himself did not really mind it. Actually, if he could become a citizen of the ACG world, it was probably not a bad idea. But what would happen to other people?

In another word, apart from having some strange ACG world creatures growing on the regular people, would there be other effects? If the time he got the Eyes of The ACG World was the time the crack was reopened, then it would be several years already. However, the villagers of Luhua have been breathing in the air that had a high concentration of the ACG world's force for so long, but nothing seemed to have happened, let alone mutated.

There shouldn't be any problems, right?

Zhou Yu was also unsure. After all, who would believe him if he told other people that this place was dangerous, without any actual proof? No one else could see the existence of The ACG World except him, and there were no scientific means to detect it. And now Luhua Village was thriving because of the existence of an amusement park. With a much larger population, it was not something that he could stop at will.

It seemed like he could only wait and see how it would progress at the moment. If it could be determined that having a high concentration of The ACG World was harmful to regular people of the real world, then even if the amusement park needed to be closed at that time, Zhou Yu would not have any hesitation. Anyway, as long as there were still a Gashapon machine and a vending machine, he could rebuild an amusement park somewhere else.

With such a thought, Zhou Yu suddenly had an idea. If he bought an island and took his children and most of the villagers to that island, it might not be a bad idea.

Of course, this was not realistic, there was no way he would be able to achieve this.

He could only wait until the underground city project was completed and then found out more information about the crack.

Therefore, in this Spring Festival, Zhou Yu disappointed many people. In terms of comics, the movie version of “Assassin” was well-received and greatly praised, but its comic was still about to end; in terms of games, the games his studio produced were also all casual games, they mainly focused on the overseas markets, there were no more excellent games like “The War Of The Soybean Pudding”, and the animation production was even worse, the extremely popular variety show, “the little Muli's incredible maze” suddenly canceled its third season production, and then there were no more new works coming from his studio, but a trailer of an animation called Zhenbian Bedtime Stories, which was published on the official website.

The fame of the ACG emperor seemed to have weakened a bit this year.

What happened to Zhou Yu's production team? Was there an internal conflict? Or were they expressing their dissatisfaction towards Zhou Yu? If they no longer supported Zhou Yu, would those teams reveal themselves to the public or find another leader?

The biggest problem was that trailer. People could tell the quality of the animation was not on the same level as Qin Zhuan studio. It even triggered unanimous condemnation from many animation fans online. Nothing else was more tragic than the Qin Zhuan studio in the real world. They had just released a trailer on the website, but it attracted a lot of criticism. They were even called the fake Qin Zhuan studio.

Because of this, none of the members of Qin Zhuan studio had a good time at home during the Chinese New year. When they went home, they were very happy and excited, but when they came back, all of them were dispirited and gloomy, even the director Jing Ning was no exception.

Zhou Yu was not someone who knew how to cheer other people up, so he could not help but sigh.

If there were no previous animation works, with the current quality of “Zhenbian bedtime stories”, it was actually not bad. At least, it was much better than a lot of the domestic animation. If they changed their studio's name, people on the internet probably wouldn't have had such a high expectation. This was all Zhou Yu's fault.

The expectation was way too high, which was the current hurdle of Qin Zhuan studio.

The original Qin Zhuan studio was a company that did not exist in the real world. Its highest animation production quality was similar to that of the top animation studios in the real world, so it was not necessary for the real world Qin Zhuan studio to feel discouraged. Because no matter how they tried to make an animation that was better than the original studio, they would never be able to succeed it. However, Zhou Yu couldn't say this to them. He only hoped that the employees of Qin Zhuan Studio could overcome this hurdle by themselves.

In the gloomy and dispirited atmosphere, the first season of “Zhenbian bedtime stories” officially began its production.

And Zhou Yu also started to fight back.

He had to fight back, because there were more and more speculations on the Internet, and some people even said that the reason why Zhou Yu wanted to train young people for Qin Zhuan studio was that the old studio had fallen apart.

This argument scared Zhou Fu quite a bit.

Although the operation of the amusement park finally didn't need to rely on the income of the animation production, the underground city project has just started, it still required a lot of money to keep it going, not to mention that even if the project was completed, during the early stage of launching, it still would not make enough money to cover its operation cost. If there was a problem with Zhou Yu at this time, then it would be like the domino effect, it would put the amusement park into jeopardy.

Regarding those rumors, Zhou Yu felt that there was no need to respond to them at all, as long as he could release another animation movie with the quality that was similar to the previous work, all the rumors would be cleared up. So shooting of the animated film “Blood Moon Mist” needed to be launched as soon as possible.

Hence, the Screenwriter, Hao Jing, used his fastest speed to complete the modification of the script, under his boss's close staring. After all, the outline of the story and the specific events and smaller details were all there, so it was not very difficult to rewrite it. And Zhou Yu also made all the props during the Spring Festival holiday, and everything was ready in the filming studio.

Making a movie now would cost tens of thousands of Moe coins, which was also the main reason why Zhou Yu hasn't started shooting. In the past, all the cost could be covered after the movie was sold in the ACG world. Not only the production cost would be covered, but he might even make a huge profit from it.

However, it was not possible now. Without the biggest client, the Starlight TV station, and it was also impossible to sell it to the Fallen TV station, there were only some small local TV stations left. But none of those TV stations were rich, so the profit they could make from them was limited. Basically, to make an animated movie, Zhou Yu needed to be mentally prepared to lose more than 5000 Moe coins.

Xia Huan didn't break his promise. His support for Luhua City remained the same. With the rest of his team, he joined the filming of “Blood Moon Mist”.

The actors that Luhua City could recruit now were only the wandering idols, But because they normally moved around very often, it was very difficult to gather many of them in a short period of time. So without Xia Huan's help, Zhou Yu would even have a hard time to gather enough extra actors.

But for Xia Huan, this cooperation would probably cause more harm to his company than bring benefits. Regarding Moe Coins, he could only get the performance fees. And because the movie may be suppressed by Starlight City, they would not be able to win any award, nor would they be able to gain any fame. The biggest problem was that Xia Huan's support for Luhua city was very likely to make his company the next target for suppression.

Zhou Yu had also tried to persuade Xia Huan not to take part in this filming. He could wait for a while when the sanction was lifted.

However, Xia Huan said, “I have already made up my mind, I want to see what they are going to do to me. You probably don't know, Old Zhou, the former Beidou company used to have both starlight idols and fallen idols as well. But it was completely suppressed during the subsequent purification movement. After I took over Beidou, I also hired some of the old Beidou's employees. Their beliefs are exactly the same as Luhua city. If Starlight City still wants to punish Beidou, I will be willing to join Luhua City with all the employees of Beidou. ”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was completely shocked.
