The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 404: Completion Banquet

Chapter 404: Completion Banquet

Zhou Yu, the ACG emperor, actually became the director of a live-action movie. This way of changing careers was too exaggerated. Moreover, according to the inside information of the amusement park, he was even managing the idol's MV. He was someone famous for making miniature models, will he really be suitable for this role?

Throughout the history of Zhou Yu's fame, there seemed to be nothing he had done with his own hands, except for those miniature models. Whether it was an anime, a game, or a comic, they were all the work of others, and he was just the owner. As the producers were unwilling to come forward, Zhou Yu took all the reputation and in the end, a great ACG master was born

However, this movie was indeed made by Zhou Yu. From the live broadcast, it could be seen that he was conducting all the things as a director. The directing and filming were all quite satisfactory, and the acting guidance given to the actors was also very appropriate. It was completely the performance of a veteran director.

The only problem was that the emperor only used one camera. And it was difficult for this kind of single-lens film to make a gorgeous movie, right? After all, it could be seen from the trailer and some behind the scene shots that this was going to be a sci-fi comedy popcorn film. If the picture was not gorgeous enough, it would be difficult to attract audiences.

Besides, judging from the consistent quality of the great emperor's production, if the quality of "Aliens in The Amusement Park" is too poor, it will damage the great emperor's reputation.

Naturally, this movie was made not for fame in reality, but purely for the realization of Little Muli's wish. Whether he can earn money or not and how many people will like it is not the point. As long as Little Muli was happy, everything was worth it. If it weren't for Zhou Fu, who felt that the movie was promising, and then carried out the commercial operations, maybe the movie would have just been privately produced and then released for free in the amusement park.

Therefore, Zhou Yu didn't care at all about the results after the release.

Another person who didn't care about monetary gains was Lou Xiaobao. He had already decided to quit the entertainment circle, if it weren't for the request of his senior brother, he would not even have appeared in the movie. Since his senior brother didn't care if the movie would be popular or not, he naturally wouldn't worry about it.

What worried netizens, in general, was the other actors in the amusement park, including the Little Rat. But today, they received the invitation, which was the completion banquet of the "Aliens in Amusement Park". At the banquet, they would see the full version of the movie for the first time.

As actors, they already knew the plot, but they were unaware of the outcome of the filming. Zhou Yu was responsible for all the later stages of the movie. It was said that it was handed over to the mysterious animation team Qin Zhuan. There were some sci-fi scenes in the movie, as well as little aliens like Little Muli, who needed them to produce.

In reality, however, Zhou Yu only asked Ling Daoran to activate his "God Editing" skills to make final adjustments to some unnatural scenes in the movie.

At the completion banquet, all the crew members were present. A movie without a professional actor was really something dumbfounding, so it was not unreasonable for netizens to worry about their acting skills. Those new actors didn't have good acting skills, but at least they were new. In addition, Zhou Yu's movie didn't have any famous actors, so it was obvious that the box office sales would be very bad.

Zhou Fu was quite worried that performing poorly at the box office will reduce the reputation of the amusement park. After all, the idol team was still planning to get famous with this movie. If the first movie failed, their later idol career would be bleeker.

"Boy Yu, tell me honestly, is it really okay? If It doesn't work out, I'll find a connection to farm votes, at least the data is not hard to see."

Seeing Zhou Fu's fidgeting look, Zhou Yu felt a bit elated. 'Told you not to rush to commercialize it. but now you are afraid?' However, Zhou Yu didn't make fun of him and said directly: "I don't know how it will do in the movie theatre, but I am sure that there is absolutely no problem with the quality of the movie."

No one knew how the movie would perform at the box office. There were just too many unpredictable things. However, as long as the quality is good, there will be no problem in recovering the production cost. After all, Zhou Yu had hired non-professional actors, and the script and music were all made by him. So the production cost was astonishingly low.

When Zhou Fu heard this, he immediately felt relieved. As long as there was no problem with the quality of the movie, even if the box office performance was weak, it would be fine. Those idols would get some exposure and recovering the cost should not be much difficult too. Besides, with the appeal of the emperor himself, the box office numbers should not be too bad.

Next, was the feature film screening.

Since there were aliens, the science fiction scenes were naturally the most anticipated. To everyone's surprise, the beginning of the movie was awe-inspiring. They really couldn't believe that this was the movie they worked on.

The opening scene was the hometown of little aliens which was being attacked by space pirates. There was shelling and screams everywhere, and it was so realistic that people thought it was real. The expressions of the people involved in the filming were even more surprised because they saw with their own eyes that Zhou Yu had made a model of an alien city in order to make this scene, and then filmed it up and down for a long time.

With just these little things, such awesome special effects could be made. As expected, Qin Zhuan studio was really a group of talented people.

Feeling relieved, everyone was captivated by the amazing special effects. Even if it gets worse later, they can save grace by relying on these points alone. But then, when it came to the actor's part, a strong sense of shock jumped out again.

Is this really the film they worked on?

The shortcomings of the actors' lack of acting skills had been completely corrected by repeatedly acting the same scene many times. Coupled with Ling Daoran's "God Editing" skill, no matter who they looked at, they felt that these actors were almost acting like veterans and their acting skills were off the chart.

To be honest, such realistic acting skills made the actors themselves feel puzzled. Was it really them? Why didn't they remember anything at all?

However, the facts were laid in front of them. These "great" actors really made the whole movie look great. Including Little Rat, the bad boy he played was also perfect, and he vividly portrayed the image of a school bully.

For this reason, Little Rat's girlfriend constantly pinched Little Rat while watching the movie, saying that she didn't expect him to be so naughty. The poor Little Rat could only explain that it was all his 'acting skills' while peeling the fruit for his girlfriend diligently, so as not to suffer from torture.

The bad boy was finally influenced by the little aliens and bravely stood up to fight against the space pirates, using the skills mastered in playing games, controlling the space battleship to have a final duel with the pirates in the amusement park. But those adults still didn't know anything.

In the end, justice won, and the pirates were forced by the manager of the amusement park to stay in the park as 'hard labor', washing the dishes in the background, and the little alien waved goodbye to the bunch of little kids.

The End.

A very senseless movie, without any deep thoughts, but with all kinds of childish and amusing ideas, coupled with Hollywood-style special effects, it was a great movie.

However, for Little Rat, this movie was of great significance.
