Chapter 121 - Illegal Filming
Chapter 121 Illegal Filming
Beidou studio’s new work – Dragon’s Treasure, had just completed its real-world part of the movie production, and the rest of the movie would need to wait for the mysterious studio to complete the whole CG production. Whether it could be released in this year’s Spring Festival, had become an important topic of online discussion.
Most people thought that the production of “Fruit Pirates” had just completed only half a year ago. Even if the production of “Dragon’s Treasure” had been immediately started shooting after that, it still wouldn’t be able to be completed before the Spring Festival. After all, with such high quality, even if it was Hollywood, they could only release one or two movies a year. So how could Beidou studio release works in such a short time?
Of course, there were also some loyal followers of Beidou, who almost blindly believed that miracles would happen.
In fact, miracles had indeed happened, it was just that they didn’t see them yet. On the third day after the filming, Zhou Yu got the official movie that was edited by Ling Daoran. Same as the last time, the real-world’s distribution right belonged to Luhua Village and the ACG world’s distribution right belonged to Beidou. Now they were discussing the release time. It would be better to release the movie in the two worlds at the same time. So that both sides would not be affected. Therefore, the releasing time needed to be arranged properly.
In the real-world, some companies, that had cooperated with Zhou Yu last time, already rented the villas in the amusement park, waiting for Zhou Yu to tell them that they could to start negotiations.
Gao Shu, who was from the Otaku Gaming portal, was arranged to stay in the hell villa unluckily last time. As a result, he had to endure all kinds of visual bombardment while trying hard to negotiate at that time. So this time, Gao Shu learned his mistake. He booked a room in the other villa very early, and then laughed at those who came later and had to go to the Hell villa.
The cooperation with Beidou was basically satisfactory, except for the strange non-disclosure agreement. Zhou Yu, this middle man, did not require much for his share of the profit. He hardly asked for anything except the production fee he deserved. It could be said that many people profit a lot from this.
This time, however, it may not be so easy. A smart-looking man would take over Zhou Yu, who was unwilling to take part in business, and join the negotiations. Although the man was not experienced, the days they could take advantage of it were gradually fading away.
Although it was a pity, the cooperation still needed to continue. The business world is a competitive arena. If someone chooses to give up, they can’t blame others for stealing their meat. If they want to eat a piece of meat, they have to fight for it. It’s naive to think that they would always get a free meal.
Now that Zhou Fu joined in, it became a real business battle. Who would win the right, would all depend on their abilities.
However, the most unstable factor was Zhou Yu. This eccentric fellow was going to hold a premiere of “Dragon’s Treasure”. And the people that were qualified to see the premiere were not those business partners, but the little kids in Luhua Village. The reason was that they had participated in the shooting, therefore, they were naturally qualified to watch it.
He was clearly just fooling around.
However, no one could change this decision.
The invitation cards had already been sent out, except for those children, the only three adults, who could come in to watch the movie, were the blasting expert – Gao Tang, Prop Artist – Wu Yun and the park manager – Zhou Fu. Even reporters had no chance to enter, and the amusement park was cleared that night. Only the outdoor cinema was brightly lit.
Poor reporters once again lost the fight against Zhou Yu. The amusement park was surrounded by flat ground, and the outdoor cinema was blocked by some tall buildings in the park. They couldn’t get any pictures inside. In the end, they could only take pictures of the children who walked on the red carpet at the gate.
However, this could not block those with evil minds.
There are always people who don’t like to do things according to rules. Some wanted to make big news, others were entrusted to get the leaked version of “Dragon’s Treasure”, and some simply wanted to see it first. After all, little paradise amusement park was not an important military site. There were only a dozen security guards at most. How could they take care of such an amusement park? Anyone could get in easily by climbing over the wall.
As long as they were careful enough to find a better hiding place, the job would naturally be done successfully.
That night, the “grand” premiere was held as scheduled. There were many more journalists taking pictures with various cameras than last time. The children that were entering the park could not be underestimated. They had participated in Beidou studio’s movie production for two times already. They could be considered as formal crew members of Beidou studio. Besides, people were hoping to get some details of “Dragon’s Treasure” from those kids.
The entrance to the amusement park was covered with a red carpet, and with so many journalists, it was like a film festival. However, the stars were just a group of children, who were still studying in elementary school. There were no luxury cars, no beautiful female stars with strange dresses. This was just a celebration feast for children.
As soon as the stars entered the park, the journalists were blocked outside. There was no possibility of faking an invitation card, because no matter what kind of abilities they had, they could not become children.
Those in the dark were also ready to take action.
Zhou Yu was not aware of this, but Liu Gong and Gao Shu were very concerned about it. They had said several times, hoping that Zhou Yu would play the movie indoor, so it would be safer. However, Zhou Yu insisted on showing in the outdoor cinema. Eventually, they could only tell Zhou Fu to arrange more security guards and strengthen security work, while temporarily lending him some people from their companies as well. After all, if it leaked, it would damage their interests as well.
When night fell, Zhou Yu began to play “Dragon’s Treasure” with the projector “Nightmare”, ignoring all the fights outside and in the park.
Because there were villagers of Mini Luhua Village.
With these small security guards, which were invisible to ordinary people, it was basically impossible to sneak in. With Diandian and Sir Black’s speed, once they were targeted by them, they would not be able to run away.
Bubu the Squirrel was riding Sir Black, Jack Mouse was riding Diandian, and Firefly chose to ride a rooster named “General”. They led the Mount Legion to guard the area. Once they found a stranger approaching, they would immediately make loud noises and charge toward them.
It was no joke to be pecked by an armored rooster. If they were lucky, they might just get some bruises, but if they were not lucky, they would have many wounds. If they did not run fast enough and got surrounded by three or four Mounts, it would be even more tragic.
In the outdoor cinema, there were all kinds of happy laughter and cheerful voices, but there were occasional painful howls coming from outside the cinema.
Gao Shu had personally seen a brave rooster flying and attacking a man who had sneaked into the park. The man screamed in pain and started to run away in panic, but then he was surrounded by many chickens from all directions. If it hadn’t been for the security guards to arrive in time, the man’s clothes would have been torn to pieces.
Liu Gongcai’s eyes were also wide open in shock at that time. When he came to the amusement park, he could see these chickens hanging around in the park occasionally. Although they were all put on very strange armors, he just thought that this was one of Zhou Yu’s strange hobbies. Unexpectedly, these chickens were like legendary security guards and part-time fighters.
Other people might have “Dangerous! Guard dogs” signs. But in here, people should be aware of Guard Chickens!
