The Rise of Otaku Chapter 92 - Test Screening

Chapter 92 Test Screening

The Adventurer’s Town was planned to be a scenic spot in the amus.e.m.e.nt park. At the moment it was just an empty warehouse and the name of the theme was “The Little Kingdom”.

Of course, no one would have thought that it would be a real adventurer’s town in the future, where there would be all kinds of little people of the ACG world living in there. The Adventurer’s town was divided into two areas: urban area and adventurous area. The urban area would have all kinds of buildings centered on the pub, and the adventurous area would be all kinds of adventurous places and dungeons.

Last time when Xia Huan – the Executive Producer of Beidou Company, stayed here for a period of time, he had also checked out the planing map of the adventurer’s town. He said that it would be a good scenic spot and a nice big filming studio. In the future, if he planned to shoot any adventure movies, he would first consider shooting here.

Well, it would be another good way to make Moe Coins. Nevertheless, he should not celebrate too early. At the moment, the project was still just on the planning map. He still needed some time to expand it into a big filming studio.

Like the flower greenhouse, the building of The Little Kingdom was also a transparent gla.s.shouse. And it would definitely cost a lot to build such a large gla.s.shouse. Although Zhou Fu had already seen the plan, he was very worried that if they would be able to get the investment back for building such a big scenic spot. Unfortunately, they already had an agreement before, where the projects of the amus.e.m.e.nt park would be solely decided by Zhou Yu, and he could only make some suggestions.

The Colosseum was another project that was being developed at the same time as the adventurer’s town. It was also another project that made Zhou Fu puzzled. At first, he thought that Zhou Yu was going to build an area for c.o.c.kfighting or dogfighting. So he ran to Zhou Yu hurriedly when he just heard it. It was against the law to engage in this kind of activity. If he was not careful, he might end up in prison. And if it involved gambling, it would be even worse.

Of course, Zhou Yu would not do illegal things. The so-called Colosseum was actually the place for hosting the Olympic Games for animals. It was a place where all kinds of Mounts showing their skills.

“Animal Olympic? I mean, are you sure… you are not joking? Apart from racing, what other events could they do? Animals will not be as obedient as humans, and it will be a mess if they are gathered together on the stage.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Fu suddenly stopped, because when he said obedience, he immediately thought of Zhou Yu’s two strange animals, Diandian and Sir Black. Saying they were obedience, no one in the whole village would disagree. If all animal athletes were like these two, then it would really be possible to host an animal Olympic.

In the end, the Colosseum project was still launched. It was a circular structure, just like the small version of the Rome Colosseum. But the smaller one was designed by the stonemason monkey. However, although it was a smaller one, it was still too big for the ACG world. With all kinds of events combined together, it was still going to take up quite a big s.p.a.ce. Therefore, the stonemason monkey couldn’t build it. And since it could only be built by the builders from the real world, it was going to cost Zhou Yu some money again.

With just two projects alone, it had already consumed most of the funds for Little Paradise. So there would not be any more big projects anytime soon. After all, it was just small investments, so he needed to build a full amus.e.m.e.nt park one project at the time. Unlike those really rich people, they would be able to build everything in one go.

There were also some less attractive projects, such as opening small farmland, a small fish pond, raising some small animals such as chickens, ducks, sheep, and rabbits. Those projects did not need Zhou Yu’s instructions at all. As long as there were empty places, Zhou Fu would arrange them properly.

But Zhou Yu had one requirement. It was that all buildings must conform to a similar style, which was full of fairy tales flavor. Even if it was a rabbit house, the design must come from the carpenter beaver and the stonemason monkey. Although the cost was a little expensive, it was still worth it. At least, Zhou Fu never complained about it.

“Walking into Little Paradise is like walking into fairy tales.” This was the main theme of the amus.e.m.e.nt park.

The summer vacation was coming to the end soon. This summer vacation was the most special one for the children in Luhua Village, because Brother Yu had built a very interesting water park, which not only would they be able to play water in there, but they were also able to play with sand at the “seaside”.

Of course, they did not forget about the snacks that were sold in the water park as well. The price of those snacks was also not expensive. If they kept begging their grandparents, who often played chess on the side, they would always buy some for them. It was just like when there was a troupe in town.

Bt the most memorable thing was that they had also partic.i.p.ated in the filming of an animated movie. Although they were only holding the wooden boats, they also had a great time. Last summer, some of the children also made a live-action movie. However, they didn’t get to see the final version of that movie in the end. But this year, there would not be any regret, because Brother Yu promised to show it to them soon.

“Fruit Pirates” was in a digital version, which caught Zhou Yu by surprise. Originally he thought that he would be able to show it using the shadow demon’s projector – “Nightmare”. Unfortunately, after Xia Huan transferred the finished digital version of the movie to him, the shadow demon regrettably said that “nightmare” could only play the movies that were in reels. So he had to find someone else to play the digital version of the movie.

Being accustomed to using the “nightmare” to show movies, Zhou Yu was stunned after he heard what the shadow demon said. ‘Don’t tell me that I need to use my computer. Besides, how many people can a room fit? With so many children in my room, it would definitely destroy my house.’

Fortunately, the problem was solved by the amus.e.m.e.nt park.

There was a real outdoor cinema in the amus.e.m.e.nt park. It was for him to continue playing movies to those children after he moved into the park in the future. In addition to the projector “nightmare”, it also had a set of projecting equipment, which could play the digital versions of movies. Because it was designed as an old-styled outdoor cinema, so he did not get any 3D movie equipment. After all, no one would come to a village to see some 3D movies.

The test screening of “Fruit Pirates” was actually the first movie that would be played in this outdoor cinema.

The test screening this time was quite special. Zhou Yu only invited those children who had partic.i.p.ated in the shooting, and Zhou Shuyu, who had taken some behind-the-scenes footages.

Zhou Yu had already seen “Fruit Pirates” on his computer. Needless to say, this CG movie was definitely comparable to those Hollywood animated movies. Both the art style and story were slightly westernized. It was very different from the ones that were produced by the animation base. This was because there was a Wan Laiming statue in the animation base. So the animations that were produced by the animation base would always be in the Chinese art style. And Xia Huan’s company probably tended to be more western style.

Anyway, as long as it did not contain anything unhealthy, it was always a good thing to enjoy some new.

The quality of the animated movie was higher than the animation base’s Tier 3 animated movies. The main song and the voice acting completely annihilated the animation base. It seemed that there were other unknown talented people in Xia Huan’s company. Such good work should not be kept in a small mountain village, it needed a bigger stage.

That was why Zhou Shuyu was invited.

Last year, his video-sharing account was banned because he was strangely reported by someone. So this time he had learned.

Speaking of animated movies, this was the first time Zhou Shuyu saw Zhou Yu’s movie. After all, Zhou Yu only started to play movies after the summer vacation. And during the winter vacation, Zhou Shuyu was still in the city. But this time, she finally had a chance to see it.

The poor girl still did not know how shocking she would be when she saw the movie later on. She was even perplexed when she received a strange invitation.

‘Fruit Pirates Test Screening? The movie is out already? And why does he have to make it look so formal? He truly likes to play around like a kid.’

With a bit of playfulness in mind, Zhou Shuyu took out her camera and prepared to shoot the Test screening, which would be attended by many children.
