The Rise Of Otaku
/ The Rise of Otaku Chapter 90
Zhou Yu knew that Zhou Shuyu was making the behind-the-scenes footage. But he didn't stop her. Instead, he let her shoot anything at will. After all, the camera she used was not a cross-dimension camera, she wouldn't be able to discover that many tiny people were making a movie in front of her. However, he still didn't expect that the video of him burning ships still went viral on the internet.
Zhou Fu's distress couldn't be described in words. In order to make a strange movie, the ship models that were worth tens and thousands of Chinese Yuan, had been destroyed.
Although he didn't know the specific cost, seeing tens of thousands of Chinese Yuan disappeared like that, he who was also rich, still felt heartache.
"Oh my god, how long are you going to shoot this movie?!"
Having been in the business field for so long, this was probably the most regrettable investment that Zhou Fu had ever made. Having a partner who did not follow the common sense, the future of their park was really unpredictable.
Fortunately, after burning the ships, the shooting was finally over. But it still left with only a pile of broken ships, making people sighed with disappointment.
However, another partner - Xia Huan was very satisfied. Although Zhou Yu's shooting skill couldn't complete with the professional cameramen, the movie was able to be completed before the film festival. It was still a great thing.
This time, they could finally slap Nandou's face. And everyone was looking forward to it.
"Brother Zhou, thank you very much for your help. In the future, if you need anything from this brother, please do not hesitate to say it!"
Xia Huan was very grateful for what Zhou Yu did. If it hadn't been for Zhou Yu's help, Beidou would have probably been still struggling to survive now, let alone having a chance to slap Nandou's face. But Zhou Yu also didn't do it for free. The rewards of Moe Coins was the secondary, the main thing was that with little Niannian's stats, he was able to get a protagonist role of such a movie, it was already worth it.
However, after watching so many days of shooting, it was obvious that the supporting actor's scenes were also very interesting. It could even be considered that there was a second protagonist in this movie.
It could be seen that the peak of Little Niannian's acting career was probably in this movie. After all, the stats of little Niannian was limited, and Xia Huan must also consider the future of the company, so he should start raising the second leading actor who had better stats than little Niannian.
'I can only help Little Niannian to this extent." Zhou Yu thought while waving his hands to say goodbye to little Niannian, Xia Huan and his crew.
Xia Huan left behind an animated movie "Fruit Pirates", which was already edited by Ling Daoran, to Zhou Yu. On the evening of the same day, Zhou Yu watched the movie several times, and compared it with the movies that were produced by his own animation base, he could immediately feel the difference between the two.
The picture quality of the movies that were produced by the animation base was not bad, it could be considered as the top-notch quality. But the problem lay in the depth of the stories, and the way the stories were told. The stories in the movies that were produced by the animation base were relatively shallow and straightforward. It may be easy to attract young children, but if anyone watched too much of it, they would begin to feel dogmatism.
A good screenwriter indeed would make a huge difference in a movie.
Another problem was that the current animation base couldn't make 3D works, and the styles of the work were also limited. The style of Yang Kuai's work was very similar to Makoto Shinkai's style. Anyone would naturally feel tired if they watched the same style of animation for many times. Only by changing the styles from time to time, would he be able to make people feel refreshed.
Those two areas were the main disadvantage of the animation base. However, if he wanted to change it, it would depend on his luck. But so far, Zhou Yu hadn't found anything that he could use to improve the animation base.
Anyway, that was off the topic. Let's go back to talk about "Fruit Pirates"
Because of the participation in the production, Xia Huan gave the distribution right of this animated film in reality to Zhou Yu, as a way of saying "thank you" to him. He could do anything he liked to the movie. However, if he wanted to release the movie to the public, he had to wait until one week later.
If the movie was released earlier in reality, it would also affect the performance of the movie in the film festival.
To Zhou Yu, little Rat and other kids, one week was nothing. They were willing to wait.
.......................
Recently, the amusement park's business was inexplicably getting better. No one knew where did some young people hear about the water park here, they began to come to the park in twos and threes.
What made Zhou Fu even more confused was that they were all asking around if there was anyone selling ship models.
It turned out that after the behind-the-scenes footage was uploaded online, the ship model enthusiasts within the province all gathered in Luhua village, wanting to find out, if the ship making master Zhou Yu still had some models left, that he wanted to sell.
Mainly those ship models were too good, every small component was so realistic. Displaying any one of those ships in the room, and adding some soft light to it, it would definitely improve the décor of the room to another level. Those models that were produced in mass production, were not comparable to the pure handicrafts at all.
However, it was a pity that all the ship models were destroyed during the shooting. Zhou Fu had asked several times, but Zhou Yu did not intend to make any more, so he could only give up the plan of opening a gift store. The only thing left was a pile of ships' wreckage.
"Boss, we have spent huge efforts, coming all the way here, we can't go home empty-handed, you must have kept some, right? If you could spare me one, money is not a problem."
Those ship enthusiasts didn't want to give up. They just surrounded Zhou Fu, hoping that he would be able to sell them one or two. They had also asked Zhou Yu already. But they were rejected by Zhou Yu resolutely.
Unable to get rid of those enthusiasts, Zhou Fu brought them to the place where he had dumped the damaged ship models and broken pieces.
Pointing at the pile of wreckage, Zhou Fu said, "I really don't have any. Look, this is all I have. You can dig through that pile, maybe you will be able to find one or two that are still in good conditions. And it is free."
Originally he was preparing to burn the rest, and now that someone offered to clean them up for him for free. Of course, he would not mind it at all.
Needless to say, those ship model enthusiasts were also very persistent. After seeing the piles of broken ship models, they carefully dug through the pile, searching any models that they thought they would be able to fix.
Surprisingly, there were indeed some models that were only slightly damaged. Anyone with some decent repairing skills, would be able to repair those ships using the pieces they found in those piles of broken ships.
Speaking of real skill, those ship model enthusiasts were much better than Zhou Yu.
After all, repairing was a difficult task. It may not be possible to repair a ship in half a day. Mover, this place was not a guest house where they could stay for several days. So whenever someone managed to repair one, they would leave happily.
Those who had successfully repaired the models, would upload their works to their own little communities. It instantly attracted even more people to Luhua village. That pile of garbages soon became a treasure mountain for other people.
Because of this, the amusement park also attracted some more customers.
Looking at this group of enthusiasts, Zhou Fu shook his head and sighed with disappointment. With just some broken ships, it would attract so many people here. What if there were complete ones?
It was a shame that Zhou Yu didn't have the interest to open a ship model gift store. Otherwise, the business would definitely be prosperous.
Zhou Fu had also thought about getting some ship models from the city. However, the quality ones were too expensive, and the cheap ones were very bad. Besides, everyone all came here, looking for quality models. If they were looking for cheap ones, they wouldn't come to a village.
But what Zhou Fu didn't expect was that after the movie Fruit Pirates was released, the prices of those repaired ships were soaring rapidly.
Because those models were in the movie, it had a high collection value. A good one would be worth thousands or even tens of thousands of Chinese Yuan. And people still wanted to buy them. Especially the protagonist's ship 'Blackberry', which was sold at a high price of 100,000 Chinese Yuan in an auction. It made Zhou Fu regret that he shouldn't have given them away in the first place.
But who would think that a pile of garbage would turn into some expensive treasure?
