The Rise Of Otaku
/ The Rise of Otaku Chapter 96
Will those two unlucky brothers hug each other to console each other? The answer is no. After Liu Gongcai spent so much effort and made various guarantees, he was finally allowed to go to Luhua Village to discuss the copyright of Fruit Pirates face to face. There was another person that also received the same treatment as him. That person was Gao Shu.
It is really a narrow road for two big competitors to cross!
Otaku gaming portal and the penguin company are each others' main competitor. After all, they are the two giants of the two industries. One occupies the leading position of the gaming industry, the other dominates the animation and manga industries. Both belong to the ACG cultural industries, therefore, it was very normal to see them appearing in the same place.
Seeing Liu Gongcai, the eyes of Gao Shu immediately revealed cold gleams. 'This damn penguin! How did they get here so quickly? Strangely, they only have one person. How did they know about master Zhou Yu's strange habit?'
The same question also exists in Liu Gongcai's mind.
Zhou Yu didn't like to be in contact with outsiders. So he set the condition that only one person could come. They couldn't bring anyone else with them, let alone a group of a legal team. Too bad that he had connections with both companies. So it was too difficult for him to make a choice. In the end, he just invited both of them and asked them to compete with each other in front of him. Whoever PKed the other side would win the copyright of the Fruit Pirates.
After the trailer was released, Zhou Shuyu was the first person, that was found out by many companies. After all, she was the one who published the video. In total, Zhou Shuyu was approached by more than a dozen companies. She was frightened into clarifying immediately that she was just the person who uploaded the trailer. If they wanted to talk about business, they had to go to Luhua Village to find the right owner.
Then she proudly told Zhou Yu that his movie was going to go viral!
It didn't matter to Zhou Yu if the movie was going to go viral or not. But if there were so many people coming to him, talking about money, money, money, all day long, he would be annoyed to death. Therefore, he just handed this thing over to someone he knew. Almost at the same time, Gao Shu and Liu Gongcai came to his door, so Zhou Yu told them to sort it out.
At the same time, Zhou Yu moved everything he had into the amusement park at the fastest speed. He also told the guards that apart from the penguin and the Otaku gaming portal two companies, whoever asked for him, just simply told them that he was not in. And then he never walked out of the amusement park again.
Summer was over, the amusement park was temporarily closed, so it was a perfect safe zone. Fortunately, he slipped away very quickly, so he didn't need to do the boring urban business side-quests.
In the conference room, Liu Gongcai and Gao Shu were looking at each other helplessly. Because Zhou Yu told them plainly that the copyright contenders for "Fruit Pirate" were only them two, and it was up to them to decide who was better than the other side. They could talk as long as they like. There were many empty rooms in the residential area, and he had a lot of time. So he could wait.
'Hmmm... What kind of negotiation method is this?'
They had seen many kinds of negotiation meetings, but none of them were like this.
Normally, other people would actively negotiate with them to get the best deal. But he just let in two people and told them to discuss with each other. And he himself just simply left.
'Come on brother, that's not how you do business!'
Ignoring the two people that were already and completely stunned, Zhou Yu went to the wave pool to enjoy his beach alone. He had never thought about making money from this movie. He just mainly wanted to help Beidou company to gain some more publicity. So he didn't really care how much he would be able to get from this movie.
Originally, they thought that it was some kind of negotiation strategy, but after three days, Zhou Yu still had no response at all, and all he did was like something a retired old man would do.
In the past few days, Liu Gongcai and Gao Shu had been waiting for the instructions from their companies. Because they were afraid that Zhou Yu would start a negotiation with their competitor alone, they stayed with each other and kept a close eye on each other, like they were good friends.
'Alas, what a strange person! It is truly an eccentric person! He even built himself an amusement park, and then stayed in it, ignoring whatever happened outside.' They personally had already seen a wave of people that had been blocked outside the fence, and it seemed like he really only wanted to choose only one from the Otaku gaming portal and the penguin company.
While they were relieved, they also began to feel that master Zhou Yu was more and more mysterious and unpredictable.
The similarities between The Imprisoned Taoist and The Brothel Taoist those two names are already more than enough to make people think a lot. The online speculation about the fact that the two men are actually the same person, never stopped. But surprisingly, it is true. And now there is a Beidou - a team that has remarkable top-level animation making skills, which came out of nowhere.
Behind Master Zhou Yu, there is a top team that can represent the anime, the comics, and the gaming, three industries. How could they not be shocked over this?
...................
There was one more person that was shocked, it was Zhou Fu. In the past few days, no one knew what was going on, so many famous companies had found this remote area and asked to see Master Zhou Yu. However, apart from two people, who came here alone, were let in, all the other teams were blocked outside. They didn't even get to see Zhou Yu's face.
Following Zhou Yu to fishing in the newly-built fish pond, Zhou Fu still couldn't help asking, "Look, I have received so many business cards again. I mean, boy Yu, can you tell me now what on earth you have done, why so many companies desperately want to find you? Do you know that although many companies are blocked outside the gate, they still did not leave? They have been living in the village in the past few days, and coming to me asking about the situation every day."
Zhou Yu didn't seem to be concerned at all. He still threw his rod slowly to catch the fish of the ACG world, "It's all right. When the two fellows in there finished discussing, it will become quite soon."
Although Zhou Fu was only a small local tyrant in a village, he could still see from the situation, that it would be different from what Zhou Yu said. That was why, that these days he had been staying in the park, just to see what would happen in the end.
Soon, the competition formally began in the park. Liu Gongcai and Gao Shu both received instructions from their superiors and began the fierce negotiation. Zhou Yu was too lazy to listen to them. But every day, he could see two men were arguing with each other in the conference room until their faces turned red. It almost looked like they were about to punch each other in the face.
However, Zhou Fu listened to the discussion. He finally understood that they were here for the copyright of the animated movie "Fruit Pirates".
Zhou Fu had also seen this movie's test screening. It was indeed really good, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable. Thinking about the animated movies that had been released almost every week for more than a year in Zhou Yu's yard, Zhou Fu couldn't help but wonder how much would those be worth.
Many times Zhou Fu wanted to rush in and shout, "stop arguing! There are at least dozens of movies like this in boy Yu's house! There is no need to argue over this."
However, strangely, Zhou Yu didn't bring out any other animated movies. He even canceled the movie screening day this week. It seemed that he didn't want those two, who were arguing inside, to know that there were other animated movies. Although Zhou Fu did not know why, he just forced himself to keep it as a secret in his mind. Since he did not understand those things, it was better not to ask too much about it.
Those animated movies were also very good, and they would certainly be able to amaze some people. However, for the picky otaku Zhou Yu, he just felt that comparing to the Fruit Pirates, the stories of the animations that he made were slightly plain, the voice actings were terrible, and even the dialogue was not as lively and interesting as Fruit Pirates.
If Fruit Pirates could score 10 points, these animated movies in the storage room, at most, could only reach the passing line.
If he wanted to release a movie, it may not be a masterpiece or a movie that would score 10 points, but it should at least score 7 points.
