Chapter 212 Other Authors Said That Saying Happy New Year Is Good Enough To Be A t.i.tle

The promotional video for “The Little Muli’s Incredible Maze” contained the most interesting scenes of the show that Oba had edited out. The theme song was “Cold Mist”, which was sung by little Muli. After all, the show was hosted by little Muli, so it was reasonable to use the song that was sung by her as the theme song. Even if it was the top idol Yi Nian, when Muli sang, he would also need to stand aside.

The 3D version of little Muli was very different from the little Muli that Zhou Yu usually saw. It is just like suddenly seeing the 3D version of Tifa after seeing the 2D anime girl for a very long time. It made Zhou Yu slightly unable to get used to the new look of her. However, whether it was the 2D Muli or the 3D Muli, they had one thing in common, that was they all looked simply stunning.

Even Zhou Yu was also shocked when he saw Oba’s promotional videos, and then he was completely attracted by it. Such a high-quality CG, it might even be better than the international CG animation movies, and it was also better than the CG cutscenes in the tier 3 games.

The quality of a big variety show, indeed, should not be underestimated.

When the video was put on the front page of the Otaku Gaming Portal and the Penguin website for the first round of the campaign, everyone, who had been waiting to see the show, all stared at the video with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

This is CG? This is the domestic CG, this is the animation variety show?

If it weren’t for the fact that it was so easy for everyone to recognize little Muli’s voice, it would be very hard for everyone to believe that this was the animation that was made by Beidou and Qin Zhuan, the studios that seemed to be always producing the traditional animation.

Magnificent scenes, gorgeous costumes, coupled with the incomparable voice of little Muli, a short 4 minutes promotional video immediately seized the hearts of the audiences.

It doesn’t matter if it is animation or a variety show, if the main show has the same quality as the promo, no, even half of that, it’s still worth watching. Judging from the clip, it could be regarded as an animation. It was just that people didn’t know which one was the main character, and who would survive to the end.

This seemed to be quite interesting. People could guess who the winner would be, and see if the adventurer they chose would really be the winner in the end.

However, no one would really know that the ending of the game was that unexpected.

Because in the editing, the most glorious character was Mr. Perfect, the evilest character was Mr. Grim Reaper, the most eye-catching character was The Black And White Rose, the one that made the most women scream was the Lilly Queen. In terms of the winner, the coward, everyone thought that he was basically an unimportant character.

However, no one would expect that the most cliché plot in any detective anime – the most unlikely person is the killer, would appear in this show.

The people on the internet began to share the video crazily, and the little Muli’s halo, which was gradually about to disappear, began to glow brightly again.

Although, she still didn’t reveal her face.

The stunning appearance of the 3-d version of little Muli was enough to keep people talking for a while.

However, there were also some people that felt extremely headache at the moment. It was the government department that verified all kinds of entertainment shows. When the video was sent to them, it was said to be a variety show, but when they watched it, it was an animation.

Variety shows my a.s.s!

Believing that they had been tricked, the authorities immediately found Zhou Fu, hoping he would come up with a reasonable explanation. Although this Qin Zhuan studio had just registered as a company, its reputation was very big in the Industry. With just two animations, it instantly became a leading company in the industry. But they still should not make fun of the government department.

Zhou Fu could only grit his teeth and explain that this was a new type of program, presenting a variety show in the form of animation. There was music, dance, talent shows, and compet.i.tions, who dared to say that it was not a variety show? So they couldn’t apply for permission using the animation standard, but the variety show standard. In this way, they could get rid of some unnecessary censorship, especially when the evil triumph over the good at the end of the show. It would be impossible to get permission using the animation standard.

Maybe Zhou Fu’s communicative ability was strong enough, or maybe he went through some strange ways to get it. In short, although the process was b.u.mpy, they still got permission. (Author’s note: I don’t know the actual process of getting permission. So don’t take this seriously.)

No matter what happened during the process of getting permission, as long as the show was approved, it was good enough. However, Zhou Yu’s only rule was that he did not mind having good public relations, but it should not exceed what was considered proper. He did not want to do some dirty deals to get the show approved, that would be just an insult to everyone that was involved in this show.

Even if the film was not approved, it could still be released online for free, as long as he gathered enough publicity, he would have enough reason to build an underground project. Uncle Fu used to be a soldier, and although he was now in the business world, he also agreed that they should not be involved in this kind of thing, so he carried the application process out very strictly, even if the process was very difficult.

The two old friends, the otaku gaming portal and the penguin company, had also helped to push the application process forward. In terms of how they helped, there was no need to talk about here. After all, this was not a modern business novel.

………………………

As a result, a TV station got the broadcasting right, and the online live streaming platforms had also been found.

Normally, if the quality of any animation could get to this level, It could be said that every second of it had cost a lot of money, so each episode would be much shorter than the actual variety show. Moreover, the time for each episode could not be extended. After all, it was a high-quality animation, each frame would cost much more than the real people acting it.

So if the investors and business partners wanted to get back their investment and make more money out of the show, placing advertis.e.m.e.nts in the show became inevitable, so Zhou Yu had to use the animation base to make some corresponding advertis.e.m.e.nts from the real world and edit them into the show.

In addition to the special adventurers’ figures, other animation peripheral products, such as each adventurers’ clothes, were also being prepared. Once the show was broadcasted, those items would also be put on the shelf for sale at the same time.

After about a month of preparation, the show, which was antic.i.p.ated by many anime fans, was finally officially launched.

Once a week, an episode would be broadcasted simultaneously both on TV and online, and its popularity could at least last for three months.

And the eagerly awaited fans were not disappointed. Qin Zhuan was indeed not those studios that would create a fake promotional video to fool them. The real show was as good as the promotional videos. The exquisite CG was a feast for the eyes.

The twelve adventurers, who had distinctive personalities, came on stage one by one, each having their own characteristics. Everyone was showing off their best abilities and revealing the idols’ innate apt.i.tude incisively and vividly.

Soon, the audience was divided into 12 groups according to their own preference. They all supported their favorite characters, hoping that he would win the final game.

The most favorite character was still Mr. Perfect, Yi Nian. With his whole body covered in the dazzling aura, he was considered by many to be the leading role, while others were considered to be supporting characters.

However, in the near future, they would be shocked to see the real and cruel result of the game.

However, at the moment, the one that was shocked was Zhou Yu.

“What did you say? Say it again!”

Zhou Yu’s face was full of surprises. Since he acquired power, he hardly would be surprised by the things from the real world. However, the news he had just heard from Zhou Fu still surprised him.
