The Rise of Otaku - Chapter 405

The Great Emperor’s screen debut was soon released on the National holiday. It must be said that the title of the Emperor was quite effective in attracting attention. At least there was a lot of publicity and support from all parties, resulting in full promotion of the “Aliens in The Amusement Park”. In addition, the quality itself was not bad, so a good performance at the Box Office was to be expected. In terms of other aspects, it was uncertain whether the audience would like it or not, but the stunning and realistic special effects in the trailer would definitely attract a round of applause.

In fact, many people have sent requests to Zhou Fu, asking if Qin Zhuan or Beidou could produce special effects for their films. However, this requirement was impossible to meet because Zhou Yu could find anyone to make special effects for him.

Ling Daoran was unable to edit the film that was not shot by the camera ‘Truth’ and other ACG world cameras, so there was no way to add special effects.

The 3D special effects team of Qin Zhuan Studio had just been formed, and the leader was a young man who had just graduated from university, his name was Chu Ji. He was also selected previously during the Qin Zhuan studio’s recruitment, and he was still a dazzling person. But because he hadn’t graduated from college at that time, he hadn’t joined the team.

Chu Ji’s ability was 3D special effects. With him, the 3D team of Qin Zhuan was formed, and the Qin Zhuan studio was finally complete.

Zhou Yu had a lot of expectations with this young team. He was aware of his own limitations. Although the Eye of the ACG world was very powerful, and could produce a variety of high-quality works almost infinitely, it was only easy to improve personal reputation, and it was of little effect to the entire ACG community in the real world. He hoped that the growth of this team could bring some real changes.

During the long holiday, there were more people visiting cinemas than usual. Uncle Fu must have put a lot of effort into the release of “Aliens in the Amusement Park” during this period. Seeing that he had been running around outside during this period of time, it could be guessed that he was busy with this matter.

It was a bit shameful to say that, as the director, the most important person of the crew, Zhou Yu had never done any promotion for this movie, and he didn’t even bother to update the news on his Weibo.

It was very interesting to see how well a work without well-known actors would perform, especially when Zhou Yu even refused to manipulate ratings.

In the end, in the box office ranking, “Aliens in The Amusement park” ranked fourth with a total ticket sale of barely over 100 million. The results were not particularly impressive, but Zhou Yu was already very satisfied with this. Because in the absence of any well-known actors, it was already very impressive to be able to have this kind of result.

However, the reactions people had after watching the movie were getting stranger and stranger.

The actors’ acting skills were great, and the special effects were also amazing. These were obvious and it was indeed a good movie. However, it was still quite different from what the audience expected.

Wasn’t there only one camera shooting from start to finish? Everyone thought it was a one-shot movie, but when the movie finally came out, there were so many different shots. What kind of magic did Zhou Yu use? Or was there actually a bunch of photographers hidden in the studio that no one could see?

It didn’t make sense. During the live broadcast, someone already asked why there was only one camera on the set. If there was a second photographer at the time, it would be impossible to miss.

Everyone thought it was a small-cost production, so they could save money. But they didn’t expect the final film to be so normal.

Especially when it came to fighting scenes, various cuts could never be achieved by a single camera. Lou Xiaobao’s martial arts foundation was extremely good, so the fighting scene was simply wonderful.

So how did Zhou You produce such a wonderful movie?please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

This issue needed to be explained by director Zhou Yu.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Zhou Yu, an Otaku, was unwilling to accept any interviews. Only the other members of the crew accepted the interview, especially the idol group. Originally, this movie was a ladder for them, and everyone could clearly see it.

There was also one major question. At the beginning of the film, the director’s name in the movie was ‘Ling Daoran’.

Everyone knew that Ling Daoran, the director of Beidou, had his presence in the first few animated films of the Great Emperor. In this live-action movie, the CG part was definitely directed by Ling Daoran, but the chief director should be Zhou Yu, right?

What is going on?

Zhou Yu did have his name in the movie, but it was at the end of the film, and it was an executive director, which was a very small role. In the past, Zhou Yu was only responsible for recording the real scenes as model reference for the people of Qin Zhuan Beidou when making animated movies, so it was understandable that he was an executive director. But when making this movie, obviously, Zhou Yu did more than just recording, right? But why was he still just an executive director? The emperor was a bit too humble, wasn’t he?

Regarding this matter, even those crew members found it difficult to understand.

Although Ling Daoran’s CG was indeed the finishing touch of this movie, he still couldn’t be given the title of chief director, right? When their boss was directing, the guidance he gave was quite good, and the good acting in the movie was all due to him.

Who was the true director of this movie?

Besides the special effects, “Aliens in the Amusement Park” was a low budget movie, but the box office sale actually exceeded 100 million, which was a bit surprising. Therefore, there were still many reporters willing to dig out more information about this movie.

Who was the director of this movie was a topic that everyone was interested in.

In the face of reporters’ interviews, the crew said that they had never seen director Ling Daoran come to the scene. Zhou Yu had always been filming and guiding alone. This could be seen in the behind-the-scenes footage, and there was hard evidence.

However, Zhou Yu didn’t have any intention to make corrections. Even if Uncle Fu came to ask, his answer would only be: “You are really funny. I don’t know anything about directing at all. I just did whatever instructions Ling Daoran relayed to me through the headset. “

Zhou Yu didn’t lie because he really didn’t understand anything about directing, and he didn’t want to take the credit. An executive director was enough for him. In his opinion, he was at most a cameraman, and the chief cameraman was Qi Yulin.

All other cuts were all taken by Qi Yulin alone.

In a world invisible to everyone, Qi Yulin always used all kinds of strange equipment. Zhou Yu even saw him hanging in mid-air and rotating at a constant speed, shooting the scene once. In contrast, he had only shot static images, which was simply lazy.

A wonderful movie, with all kinds of questions about who was the real director, just appeared in front of the audience like this.
