The Rise Of Otaku - Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Chapter 253 the fashion show animation

Although based on the result, the people Zhou Yu recruited were very good, and it was indeed worth it to train them, saying that there was an original Qin Zhuan studio member amongst them, Zhou Fu was still a little skeptical.

For this studio, Zhou Fu has spent a lot of time and energy on it. He had specially invited some relevant teachers to come to teach them. According to the evaluation of the teachers, although these people didn’t have good foundations, they were very talented.

Their future was indeed very promising, but the gap between the current studio and the original one was still very big. Therefore, it was almost certain that these people were not from the original studio unless they all hid their real skills.

However, this was not a spy game, why did they need to hide?

Qin Zhuan studio’s office was in Misty Lake Villa. It was the most exquisite villa among all the villas in the park. It was built next to the man-made lake – Misty Lake, and it was a slightly modern-styled villa.

Whenever Zhou Yu was free, he would come here to meet with the staff. The Otaku power of the staff here was very high, after meeting with them a few times, the feeling of strangeness slowly disappeared. Zhou Yu didn’t look like a boss, so it was much easier for him to get along with them.

Director Yang Kuai would always stay here when there was no animation work. Whenever Zhou Yu came over, he would make a detailed explanation of the students’ learning situations. The progress of learning, the cooperation between members, these were the main areas of his observation.

The members of the studio have been studying for nearly three months and not a single one of them left. It was actually quite understandable. Although the salary was not high, the working environment was extremely comfortable, plus the food and accommodation were all included. There were game rooms and gyms in the villa, beautiful scenery outside, and boats in the lake. If anyone felt too quiet, they could also go to the entertainment area outside the residential area, but it would no longer be free, at most, there would be a staff discount.

With a good working environment, and there were chances for improvement in the future, who would want to leave?

It was just the trainee director Jing Ning was a little anxious, because he wanted to achieve something very eagerly. Looking at another Qin Zhuan studio and Beidou studio were working together on “the little Muli’s incredible maze” project, which had received great praise online, it was understandable that he would feel this way.

Although the members here were rookies, rookies also had dignity. They couldn’t just hide behind the back of the former studio. Looking at the comments that people were praising Qin Zhuan studio, Jing Ning always felt that it didn’t belong to him, which made him feel very gloomy.

As a result, Jing Ning had already made several requests to start work immediately. But every time, the request was rejected by Zhou Yu using the excuse that he hadn’t mastered his skills fully. So he could only go back to carry on his training.

But now, it should be the right time.

Today, Zhou Yu gave Jing Ning a book and asked him to adapt it into a 52-episode animation series. The book was purchased from Xia Huan and then printed out by Zhou Yu. It was a quite popular fairy tale story called, Zhenbian Bedtime Stories, in the ACG world.

“You can choose any story in this book. The script, the costumes, the scenery, and the props will all be arranged by your team. I won’t interfere with it. There is only one requirement, and that is not to ruin Qin Zhuan studio’s reputation.”

This requirement was actually very high, Qin Zhuan studio’s animation has now reached the peak of domestic animation. To make something that would not ruin its reputation, it was quite difficult.

However, Jing Ning loved challenges. Taking over the book, he hurriedly went to the scriptwriter and began to discuss the selection of the story for production.

The news that they would have a project soon was immediately spread in the studio, and then Zhou Yu could hear people discussing it excitedly. It seemed that three consecutive months of study really bored them, or maybe they were really eager to achieve something.

Zhou Yu could only hope their excitement would not suffer a heavy blow.

Seeing everyone in the office started to move, Zhou Yu felt that he should leave. After all, he was not able to help them with anything, and standing there would only cause troubles to them, so it would be much better for him to leave.

And then, he met with Zhou Fu and that German investigator.

Looking at the blonde, blue-eyed woman, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but sigh. Fashion design… He didn’t know anything about it. So he decided that whatever she was going to ask, he would just say that he didn’t know anything about it, and it was all done by the mysterious studios.

The plan had been made, but Zhou Yu didn’t expect that Lina’s first question caught him off guard completely, “Mr. Zhou Yu, may I ask, who designed all the buildings here?”

Huh? Isn’t she here to ask about the fashion designs? Why is she asking about the building?

Looking back at Zhou Fu, he explained, “Miss. Lina was walking around the residential area, checking out the buildings earlier, she is very interested in these villas. And she studies architectural design.”

Lina said, “I’m sorry, it’s so beautiful. Mr. Zhou Yu, you should tell the designer that if you take these designs to a contest, you will win the contest.”

Contest this word was very tempting to Zhou Fu. As soon as he heard this word, he instantly stared at Zhou Yu, with his eyes wide open. His meaning was very clear: don’t tell me that the person who designed those buildings is also in your team, then hurry up and bring out that person immediately. We need to win some awards, so we can place them in the amusement park and show them to the guests in the park.

Zhou Yu smiled helplessly. It has been a year since the villas in the residential area were built. Although many people were amazed by them, they didn’t think too much about it. Even the parent-child friendly variety show had also filmed the scenery here, but it didn’t cause any particular discussion.

Unexpectedly, it attracted this German girl.

“Well, that’s the same answer as the fashion designs. They don’t want to be revealed in the public, and I’m working very hard to persuade them at the moment…”

It was the same useless excuse and didn’t give Lina any useful information to help her investigation. The only thing she had discovered was those wonderful buildings.

Zhou Yu did not say that the fashion designs were from Qin Zhuan, nor did he deny the rumors on the Internet. But he also didn’t say that he didn’t have any cooperation with Xiao Yuanxie, nor did he deny that he got the design drawings from Xiao Yuanxie.

Everything was ambiguous.

Even if Lina said that the investigation may not change the competition result, and Xiao Yuanxie would still be the winner of the contest, Zhou Yu still was not going to give the name and address of the original designer, and it was as if he had no interest in the award.

But just when Lina mentioned that she would end the investigation, Zhou Yu suddenly said, “maybe, you can stay here for two days, two days after our amusement park will hold the first amusement park fashion show, you can have a look. At that time, the ban on reporters will be temporarily lifted.”

Zhou Fu was dazed for a second. He had not heard of anything about this fashion show.

Is that a joke? A fashion show would not be so easy to host, the venue layout, the use of models, and the production of clothes, how can those things be arranged in two days?

However, Zhou Yu was very confident that they could do it.
