LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 213: Hardship Peach Factory?
Zhou Yu himself is also a very ambitious person. Since he wants to do something, he must be the best and be the first!
It is impossible for him to let go of this big piece of cake in the film and television industry so easily. Now in the music sector, he is about to reach the top. Even if he has to retreat behind the scenes, for the development of the company and to make more money, he cannot abandon the film and television sector.
He replied to Yang Qian: "Now that it has been reviewed, let's discuss the release date with Penguin Video."
If Yang Qian had just finished filming a scene, she would have received the news and quickly notified Zhou Yu and Wen Shiyi. This anime can be considered a big investment for them, with tens of millions invested in it. Naturally, they hope to achieve good results when it is launched.
"Then let's go online early next month, the first Friday in December, and update once a week for the time being?"
Penguin has already told Yang Qian that it will be online at the end of this month or early next month. The specific time to go online will depend on their arrangements. Penguin has always valued this cooperation with Yang Qian and Zhou Yu. Especially Zhou Yu. Now Penguin sees extremely high value from Zhou Yu. In the music section alone, Zhou Yu has brought them immeasurable income and user traffic.
Therefore, in other sectors, they also want to see Zhou Yu's abilities. If possible, more in-depth cooperation in the future is not impossible.
Zhou Yu thought for a while: "Then let's do it on the first Friday in December. We'll update it once a week for the time being. If the results are good, we'll recruit more people and complete the plot behind the bad guys."
"Okay, I'll go talk to Penguin. Publicity should start to take off during this period."
It’s already the middle of the month, and if it’s scheduled to be released in early December, there will only be about half a month left. Although it is an anime, it still needs to be promoted.
"Okay, you're about to finish filming over there, right?"
If Zhou Yu remembers correctly, Yang Qian's new drama will be finished soon. Including post-production and review submission, if it goes quickly, it is estimated that it will be online early next year.
"Well, it will be completed by the end of the month. You are in the semi-finals. Alas, it's a pity that I can't come."
Yang Qian actually wanted to see Zhou Yu's live performance. This time he invited Wen Shiyi to be his guest singer in the semi-final. Just thinking about it, this semi-final was very exciting.
"It's okay, you can watch the live broadcast when the time comes."
In fact, Zhou Yu was originally planning to say that if Wen Shiyi was not free, he would ask Yang Qian if she could spare some time to help him. He doesn't have many friends in the circle, only a few, but fortunately, Wen Shiyi, a professional singer, is free.
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to start work now. I wish you the first place in advance."
Yang Qian is very confident about Zhou Yu. Even in the fiercely competitive semi-finals, Yang Qian still believes that Zhou Yu can win the first place!
"Then you get busy first."
Just as she was about to put away her phone, Yang Qian sent two more photos. They were photos taken of her on the set. She was wearing a red costume, holding a long sword, facing the sunset, looking heroic.
"I'll show you two beautiful photos of my sister. I wish you success."
Zhou Yu also smiled and silently clicked save. Well, I will dig it out for her when I get the chance in the future.
He and Yang Qian were already very familiar with each other. This woman often sent some photos of her beauty, even in the group where he and Wen Shiyi were together. But I have to say that Yang Qian, a woman, is really good-looking. Especially the photos of her life during filming are completely different from the pictures she posted on her Weibo account. They are more natural and full of life.
After confirming the release date of the "Bad Guy" anime with Penguin, Zhou Yu and the others also started promoting it.
First of all, his company, Wen Shiyi and Yang Qian's company, as well as the official account of Penguin Video, were the first to release posters announcing the official release of "Bad Guy", and later added promotional video clips.
Immediately afterwards, the personal accounts of three big stars, Zhou Yu, Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi, began to forward the promotion. Zhou Yu directly edited a text message: "Xiao Mengxin is a screenwriter for the first time. Please support me." oh!"
Originally, there was nothing much to discuss about the official release of this anime. Except for the animations adapted from popular novel IPs that have been relatively popular in the past, few anime are popular when they are released.
But this time "Bad Guy" is a little different. When it was officially announced this time, three big stars, Zhou Yu, Yang Qian and Wen Shiyi, forwarded it on Weibo to promote it. All of a sudden, the popularity started to rise, and the attention also skyrocketed. Especially when everyone saw the news about Zhou Yu and the news about watching anime, they were instantly stunned.
"I'll go! What kind of situation is this? I didn't think anything about it because the investor is Zhou Yu's company, but it turns out the screenwriter is Zhou Yu!"
"Oh my God! Zhou Yu is actually the screenwriter of this original animation. This is amazing!"
"I never expected that Zhou Yu would switch careers and become a screenwriter, and he would still engage in original animation. It's interesting. I'm really looking forward to this animation."
…
This news immediately hit the hot search list, and the popularity of the anime "Delinquent" also increased.
"Zhou Yu crosses over to become an animation screenwriter!"
"Anime bad guy!"
…
More and more people are paying attention to this news, and many people in the industry are a little surprised when they see this scene. Nowadays, the development prospects of the domestic animation industry are very good, and everyone knows that it is just in its infancy and the market is still very large. Many companies are eyeing this piece of cake. It is understandable that Zhou Yu, Yang Qian and others are entering the animation sector.
But what surprised everyone the most was Zhou Yu's move to become a screenwriter.
He is a musician and a musician, and he suddenly jumped into being an original animation screenwriter. This is really a big leap.
Many people sneered, always feeling that Zhou Yu was fooling around. In other words, this is just burning money. Although everyone knows that it is normal for Zhou Yu to start a company and involve other industries. But everyone understands that this professional matter should be left to professionals. You are a singer and a musician, but if you don’t make music well, why are you working on original animation scripts?
Do you think you can do it yourself?
There are specializations in the arts. As an adult, you will understand this. Everyone thinks that Zhou Yu is already a monster in music. They even say that he is close to the top of the mountain and it will be a matter of time before he changes his career. But being so anxious and directly switching careers to become a screenwriter is a bit exaggerated. Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculous?
Many entertainers and celebrities like to cross industries, especially some singers, who always want to join the entertainment industry. This kind of career change is understandable. After all, you are handsome, and I can just shoot your face when filming. Even if you, Zhou Yu, don't know how to practice, you can still be a vase in the entertainment industry.
But you have to choose such a difficult industry to be a screenwriter, and you are also an original Chinese comic screenwriter. Everyone knows how difficult it is.
Let's put it this way, even if someone appreciates the work that a screenwriter has worked hard on with an original script and it is produced, it may not be recognized by the market. Even some scripts written by screenwriters with strong star casts will be successful.
Not to mention original Chinese comics. Although Chinese comics have developed in the past two years, among the popular Chinese comics, there are no original Chinese comics. The Chinese comics that have become popular in the past two years are all adaptations of popular classic novel IPs.
It can be said that original Chinese comics are more difficult than those original TV series.
TV series and movies have star casts, but anime has nothing. If it were not for anime adapted from classic IPs and had no fan base of the original works, the chances of it being thrown off the market would be high.
This career change is not something Zhou Yu praised so much.
"This guy is too bold."
This is the inner thought of many people, or is Zhou Yu drifting off and unable to recognize himself?
As for Zhou Yu and his friends, not long after the "Bad Guy" anime was officially announced, Taochang Qiyi Video and Starlight Entertainment also sent out a message, officially announcing that the anime "Reverse" adapted from a popular novel IP has been officially released. "Sky" is scheduled to be released in early December.
When this news came out, it was nothing. However, Zhou Yu and Penguin had just finalized an anime, and Starlight Entertainment and Qiyi Video had also officially announced that they had finalized an anime.
Is this a coincidence or intentional?
Moreover, Starlight Entertainment, Taochang Qiyi Video, and Zhou Yu plus Penguin Video, just looking at these names, you can feel a strong smell of gunpowder.
Not to mention Penguin and Peach Factory, they have been enemies for many years.
As for Zhou Yu and Starlight Entertainment, they are also entangled in grudges. Previously, Zhou Yu asked Zhao Lei to knock down Li Xingyu, whom Starlight Entertainment was highly praised for, causing Starlight Entertainment to lose a lot. Now that I have finally recovered a little, are we going to face it head-on again this time?
And what everyone is looking forward to the most is what Zhou Yu will do with Taochang this time.
Since "Son of the Idol", those behind the scenes targeting Zhou Yu, except Taochang, such as Starlight Entertainment and Huatian Entertainment, have been ignored by Zhou Yu one by one. He alone has overwhelmed the two major companies. Now that it has been so long, is it finally Peach Factory's turn?
Starlight Entertainment and Taochang did not expect to collide with Zhou Yu's animation.
Today's official announcement was scheduled before, and even the time of their official announcement was only two or three minutes longer than Zhou Yu's. This time it was really a coincidence.
However, Xiao Wang always became a little excited when he saw the news.
"Haha, Zhou Yu, I won't let you get what you want this time."
In music, he accepted his defeat to Zhou Yu. This time in the anime, there is no way they could lose again!
At Taochang, Mr. Jiang was a little confused when he saw this hot search on his mobile phone. The animation project the company cooperated with Starlight Entertainment collided with the animation from Zhou Yu and Penguin?
But seeing that Zhou Yu was the screenwriter of this original animation, Mr. Jiang showed a pleasant smile.
"Haha, young man, you are too anxious."
He could understand the mood of this career change, but this career change to become a screenwriter, and still produce original animation, this is not asking for death.
He really didn't think that Zhou Yu, a musician, could write a good script.
And it’s an original Chinese comic. It’s hard to create original Chinese comics these days. In the past two years, due to the huge market in the animation sector, many companies have entered the industry, many of which are producing original animations. But now, how many original animation companies survive?
The only ones left on the market today are those companies that adapt IP, which are the most profitable and the most stable.
"We are not Xingguang and Huatian. If you want to play, you have to pay the price this time."
Zhou Yu wants revenge, wants to control their Taochang as well as Hua Tian and Xingguang. Haha, that is really nonsense.
