Chapter 194 Variety Shows

Xia Huan was still the same as before, having bitterness and deep hatred on his face all day long, it seemed like the competition between his company and Nandou made him very exhausted. Even the remote villages, like Luhua village, could also often hear adventurers talking about the competition between Nandou and Beidou.

To tell the truth, Zhou Yu really quite admired Xia Huan. Being targeted by the market leader, his company was still able to survive until now. Although he often suffered losses, and the idols under his company often had many accidents or quitted his company and joined other companies, he was still able to run his company. Such an unyielding spirit was truly admirable.

Of course, there was also Luhua village's credit as well, Xia Huan has always been very grateful about it. For Zhou Yu, who hoped to be able to shoot an underground animated film, he has been looking for the script for a very long time, but unfortunately, B-rated scripts were very difficult to find, not to mention that there were also special conditions needed to be met, so he still hasn't found it.

But there was something else he got by accident.

"Old Zhou, the underground maze animated film you requested is really hard to find, but the escape room type of games are currently trending on the ACG world, and I've got a B-rated escape room variety show script. If it is possible, can you use this instead of an animation film script?"

This was the most suitable script, which Xia Huan had gone to great lengths to get, but it may not meet Zhou Yu's needs. The reason to shoot an underground film was to find an excuse to get the approval for an underground construction project from the government so he could explore the underground ACG world.

If it was a variety show, it was not a problem for audiences in the ACG world, but how was he going to show it to the people from the real world?

Animated variety show? Or an animated reality show?

Because if it was an animation, everyone would know that it was certainly filmed according to the script, every reaction, action, and dialogue would not be so genuine to the audiences from the real world. So how could he create an atmosphere that was similar to the shows from the real world?

Moreover, in the ACG world, variety shows were quite different from animated films. Animated films could be divided into 2d and 3d according to the needs, and all actors would be transformed into the roles they performed after the makeup, while variety shows required actors to attend the show without makeup, and all the characters would be displayed in very realistic 3D characters.

Zhou Yu's camera, 'truth' was related to the technology of the animation base, so there were not any 3d functions at the moment. It could be used to take videos, but the images that were taken, could not be processed or edited and could only be kept as raw material for personal enjoyment.

In the same way, the animation base also could not process this kind of video, and if it could not produce any work that could be used in the real world, then it would lose its original meaning.

Just when Zhou Yu wanted to refuse the cooperation regretfully, the wandering producer Oba suddenly ran in, and without saying a single word, he took away the variety show script, "Cornered" that was originally placed on the table, and then flew away, went back to his hut in the mini forest, and shut the door at an incredible speed.

It happened so sudden that Zhou Yu was completely shocked. Why did this wandering producer take other people's script without any permission? Mini Luhua village clearly did not mistreat him, even if he was not working, he still gave him enough food. But why did he act like a robber, robbing other people's script?

Just when Zhou Yu wanted to apologize to Xia Huan, and ask Oba to give back the script, Xia Huan said with a surprised face, "producer? And there is even a creative tree? Old Zhou, this place is really full of surprises."

Someone had just taken his script, why was he still so happy? The B-rated variety show was not something that people would be able to get easily. God knows how much effort Xia Huan had paid for this. Was it because he was so sad that it made him react in a strange way?

"Don't worry. I'll go and get the script for you. Such a troublemaker. Not only does he follow the goddess of creativity Luo Shui's every day, but he also never asks anything about work. And now he even stole other people's belongings?"

Zhou Yu was really very angry with Oba. At least, the fast handed Wang knew that he should work harder, but this guy obviously could train Bai Mo and little Muli or produce some variety show or whatnot, although they temporarily could not shoot it, they could be kept as reserves, but all Oba knew was to play his musical instrument under the creative tree, like a stupid bard.

This was an illness and it must be dealt with seriously.

However, as soon as Xia Huan heard this, he quickly blocked Zhou Yu with his small body and said, "old Zhou, you must not disturb master Oba. When a producer took the script, naturally, it meant that he wanted to upgrade it. It is something that is extremely good and it happens very rarely. What's more is that he is worshiping the creative tree. So I am really looking forward to the work he is going to produce!"

Xia Huan's face was filled with an excited expression as if he was very lucky, and it was kind of true. The script was originally B-rated, if it was upgraded, then at least. it would be an a-rated, such a variety show would even be qualified to be aired on the first channel of Starlight city, and if he could just work a little bit harder, at that time, the money would just keep rolling in?

The only problem was that Nandou was still targeting them. Although Beidou had already gotten out of danger so many times, the future was still uncertain. This was also the reason why some talented artists quitted from his company and joined other companies. If there was a variety show that could produce many episodes, artists would feel a lot safer, and then Beidou would not need to worry about losing talented people.

"Old Zhou, thank you so much! You can rest assured that I will help you to solve the problem that Qin Zhuan studio does not have the ability to shoot 3D films. It will take some time to upgrade a show, and in the meantime, you can just wait for the good news from me."

Xia Huan hurriedly rushed to the portal and went back to Starlight city. He then immediately held a full staff meeting. During the meeting, he asked everyone to put down their work, instead, their new task was to find a way to let Qin Zhuan studio produce 3D films. This matter was regarding the future of Beidou, nothing could be more important than this.

Seeing this kind of work efficiency, Zhou Yu was completely impressed by it. It was a good thing to have someone helping him to upgrade the animation base, although even with the 3D video production ability, it still didn't seem like the program would be able to release in the real world, for the sake of Xia Huan's hard work, he would still give it a try. No matter what the result would be, it could still be an opportunity for Little Muli to increase her popularity.

In the ACG world, there were many strange items, including the ones that granted 3D related abilities. The Magic Hand, for example, gives the wearer the ability to shoot 3d videos, or Between Dimensions, an item that could automatically convert images to 3d images in a specific location, such as his studio.

However, it seemed like none of those items could be used in Luhua village.

In the end, after checking all the libraries in the ACG world, the old man Wen Qu finally found an ancient folktale in a very old document, and it seemed to be an important lead.

It was said that a long time ago, there was also a chaotic zone that mixed the ACG world together with the real world. However, because the people in the past didn't have the advanced technologies, so the ACG world only appeared on murals.

As a result, many items were not activated, and all of them were sealed in some vessels. But those vessels were almost impossible to find nowadays, but after a long search in the ACG world, one of the 3d chips was finally found.

With this chip, the animation base would have the relevant 3d functions.
