Chapter 50 The Filming crew

“Brother Yu has a big move!”

The children in Luhua Village began to pass the news to each other and run to Brother Yu’s house whenever they were free. It was said that there were a lot of materials to be prepared. So the things that needed to be created must be bigger than that huge aircraft carrier. It would be a shame if they could not see it personally.

In Zhou Yu’s large yard, and in a large area of ‘worksite’ that was circled by long benches, various materials were piled up like mountains. All of those materials had been produced by Beaver and Monkey overnight. The children consciously stood outside the benches, staring at Brother Yu, who was assembling the materials a bit by bit in the worksite.

Since it was a youthful campus drama, a school was naturally the main shooting scene, so the first one to be built was ‘Luhua Middle School’. The school in the original script was not called this name. However, since the shooting place was in Luhua village, and Zhou Yu was also an important sponsor, it was not difficult to change the name of the school.

A high school campus, with a total of three teaching buildings, a laboratory building, a canteen, plus a football field, a basketball court, a student dormitory, an indoor gymnasium, and other facilities. Making all of them took a lot of time. Fortunately, the only thing that Zhou Yu did not lack at the present, was time. He just treated it as playing the scale model kits. It was just like what he used to do. The only difference was that those scale model kits were slightly bigger.

In the daytime, Zhou Yu worked in the ‘worksite’. In the evening, he used a tarpaulin to cover the work site in case of raining. After three days’ of hard work, he finally completed the sand table of the school.

Zhou Yu could feel, that after working with its Senior Brother monkey, the overall quality of beaver’s work actually increased a lot. The layout of the entire campus was both logical and exquisite. Although it was a campus building, it was miraculously filled with an artistic atmosphere. It gave people a wonderful feeling at first glance

It seemed like he needed to delay the project of refurbishing his own house for now. If there were more architects in the future, he could create a better house, so there was no need to rush.

Filling the pool with water, rising a little red flag, a lively miniature middle school instantly appeared right in front of him.

Luhua Village only had a primary school, and the nearest middle school was affiliated to Bailu Town. However, this miniature Luhua Middle School was obviously much more beautiful than Bailu Middle School. Studying in this kind of school was an enjoyment, even just by thinking about it.

The children’s admiration for Brother Yu was beyond any words could describe. They saw the entire building process from the beginning to the end. This school model was by no means an empty shell. Opening any classroom door, there would be a full set of desks, chairs, blackboards, and a small podium. Even the corner of the classroom also had small props like small brooms and dustpan.

It was so beautiful and meticulous. With this, no one was able to stop children from imagining studying in this kind of school.

Xia Huan was very satisfied with the filming set. Even the top quality shooting venue would no be better than this. Therefore, he immediately ordered his filming crew to start working. The main scene was already there, and the rest would need to be slowly built according to the shooting schedule.

Yang Kuai was temporarily appointed as the director, and the work of the animation base was temporarily put aside. He was just an ordinary director, not some talented ones, but when dealing with a group of low-quality or even worse than low-quality actors, he was still able to manage them. Zhou Yu was relieved after carefully observing the stats of each actor. Dammit this Beidou, the stats of Little Niannian was actually the highest.

A management company that was worse than a newbie company.

Especially that supporting actor. Although his stats were not bad, he was accompanied by the negative passive skill of ‘30% of the scandal rate’. This guy was clearly a ticking time bomb. No one knew when it will explode. God knows why Beidou dared to use such an actor.

This poor Beidou company was so broke, that they did not even have the money to rent a hotel for their staff. In the past few days, they camped in the field outside the miniature Luhua Village. Now that the school had been completed, they all moved to the school and sleep on the school floor. Zhou Yu was overwhelmed with sympathy, that he almost had tears on his face. ‘Congrats! my son, you really found yourself an extremely inspirational company.’

However, if he could help this company to become successful, Little Niannian would be a huge contributor to the company. And in the future, he would not be kicked out of the company as long as he did not make some big mistakes. Otherwise, with his tragic stats, he probably would not even able to get any decent roles in other management company.

The filming was started in such an environment. Every day, watching a group of little people taking video clips of the TV drama around the mini-campus, was actually quite interesting. When Zhou Yu was free, he often stayed next to the mini-campus to observe how the TV drama was filmed, so he would not be too bored.

The female lead was quite pretty. Petite and dainty, she was kind of like a tiny Loli. It was the type of daughter that Zhou Yu dreamed to have. If he had a daughter like this calling him daddy every day, his body would be full of energy every day. Unfortunately, the reality was cruel. So far, she still had not gotten any new idol seed. Therefore he could only sigh constantly while watching.

After the crew came to the village, there were some reporter airships coming to the village from time to time. It seemed like they were here to gathering news. However, this day was a bit strange, because a dozen groups of reporters all came in at once, and they were crowded at the entrance of the mini-school. Obviously, there was a major incident.

The nosy chubby Third Dragon Price flew over and said while having a smirk on his face, “there is a rumor about the supporting actor is having an affair with the female lead. Poor Little Niannian.”

He truly deserved his stats of 30% scandal rate. It only took him a few days to “conquer” the female lead. It was no wonder that those reporters would be coming so fast.

Little Niannian did not mind it. After all, they were just playing a couple in the drama. They were not really together. But it was awful for The Executive Producer Xia Huan. It was not easy for him to gather this crew together. However, because he was not careful enough, the supporting actor had a chance to ‘conquer’ the female lead.

The drama became popular before it was even finished. But it was not the type of popularity that Xia Huan wanted. It was going to be very hard for him in the future.

After the reporters, came a few tiny people in black suits. After the investigation, they showed a yellow card to the supporting actor. Probably it was similar to the rules of football. It was a warning first. And if someone got a red card, then they would be disqualified to act and their acting careers would be finished.

Xia Huan was furious, and he had rebuked the supporting actor. However, apart from that, he could not do anything else. Because if he wanted to control the scandal rate, he needed to assign a dedicated manager to each actor. However, Beidou had already invested all the money into the drama, and there was no extra money could be wasted.

After the school was closed to the public for a few days, the scandal finally died down. Then Xia Huan personally acted as the dedicated manager, taking 24-hour surveillance of the supporting actor. Fortunately, there was no second scandal.

However, after the filming ended, poor Xia Huan had very heavy black eyes that Zhou Yu could not even bear to look at it. He had lost a lot of weight as if he had become a different person. He could even stand while sleeping. Of course, that was the visual effect of The ACG World. It would not be so dramatic in real life.

When Yang Kuai shouted “End!”, he instantly fell down on a quilt that had already been prepared.

No matter what happened next, he had to rest for a while first.

Nowadays, it was not easy to do anything, let alone wanting to save a management company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. If he did not work hard, he would not be able to see the future.

‘Keep it up! Add Oil!’

Zhou Yu stood on the side and sincerely wished Xia Huan, who was struggling to save his company, the best.
