Chapter 133 Weddings And Entertainment Show
The little boss was a very strange person. It was the consensus among the amusement park employees. He often talked to himself, or made strange little places in the filming studio, like a little girl playing with toy houses, but he did it on a much larger scale.
The strange thing was that he always played alone. Even the children, who came to play with him very often, were not allowed to enter the studio sometimes. Apprentice Wu Yun also liked to indulge in this kind of architectural fantasy very much, however, she was also blocked outside like those kids, and only after her master left could she go in to have a look.
The king of Little kingdom, was another nickname for the little boss.
Today, the little boss behaved strangely again. He began to decorate a strange wedding venue sand table.
As the first wedding celebration of Mini Luhua village, and it was for 15 couples, the ceremony must be very grand. The venue should hold the custom of east and west concurrently because there were 5 foreign farmers on the small farm.
The host of the wedding was the village elder, the old dragon king. Mini Luhua village had not held such a ceremony for a long time, so these two days the old dragon king was overjoyed. He was busy running everywhere, commanding people to decorate the venue. Everyone in the mini Luhua village was working under his command, which naturally also included Zhou Yu.
The venue was dreamlike. It could be described as a fairytale-styled wedding that showcased both traditional and modern flavors. In the bright red Chinese style wedding dress and the pure white western-style wedding dress, the fifteen newly-weds were led by the old dragon king – the master of ceremonies and completed the worship ceremony in the Temple of Heaven that was temporarily built.
Kaka and Benben were playing music conscientiously. It was no longer the fast pace and high spirit hip-pop song, but slow and solemn music, otherwise, what was waiting for them would be the old dragon king’s walking stick.
After saying the prayer, that was completely unintelligible to Zhou Yu, the old dragon king threw the white silk with the names of the fifteen newlyweds into a brazier. As little smoke slowly rose into the sky, it was the sign that the message of the marriages of those newly-weds was sent to God. From now on they were legal couples.
When the worship ceremony was over, the banquet formally began, and the twins could finally relax. They immediately began to play cheerful songs, and then sing and dance along with little Muli on the stage. Tina, the maid, Yuna, the white witch, and Firefly quickly served the dishes to all the tables. Everyone was enjoying food and laughing happily.
Because the body size was simply too big, Zhou Yu did not get to sit with them. He could only drool over the dishes while using the camera ‘truth’ to record this strange wedding.
Later on, he could re-watch it. It would be a very interesting documentary.
Because Zhou Yu was using cameras and locking himself in the studio, Zhou Fu thought that he was planning to make a new movie. Therefore, he hurried to the studio and waited outside for a long time. Only until Zhou Yu finished filming and got out did he asked hurriedly, “are you filming a new animated movie? What kind of movie is it this time?”
At the moment, the annual turnover of the amusement park was not comparable to the profit by selling animated movies. Compare to the park, the filming studio was the main source of income. Therefore, it was no wonder that Zhou Fu was nervous.
“What new movie? I was just playing around. Wu Yun, the sand table inside belongs to you, how to deal with it, is your business.”
As soon as he finished, Wu Yun, who had already been waiting outside for a while, immediately cheered and ran into the studio. Her two eyes were shining with excitement when she was looking at the latest production of her master.
Zhou Fu was speechless. There were so many things he could play with, why did he have to play around with cameras. With all kinds of lights were switched on, it would be very easy to make people think that he was actually shooting a movie inside. But apart from checking if Zhou Yu was making a new movie or not, he was here for another thing as well.
“There is another thing that I need to discuss with you. There’s a parent-child variety show that wants to join our Fantasy City project. I think it’s a good publicity opportunity. If you agree, they’ll be here this summer with the filming crew. As you know, we have invested a lot of money on this project. And this show has a good rating and a good reputation, so we can save a lot of money on advertising.”
It turned out that, with the fame of Beidou studio and Qin Zhuan studio, the video of children playing in the fantasy city also became very popular. So in addition to the reporters who wanted to conduct some interviews, there were also some tv programs that wanted to rent the space to shoot some programs.
However, reporters and TV crews were not allowed to enter the amusement park at will, unless they had permissions. This was decided by Zhou Yu a long time ago. While this amusement park was managed by Zhou Fu, he still wanted to ask permission from Zhou Yu first. However, Zhou Yu immediately frowned. The first thing that came to his mind was to refuse them.
From a business point of view, the fantasy city project was indeed very expensive, and if they could work with the tv station, they would definitely become well-known very soon. However, Zhou Yu did not like it, because after the two animations became famous, so many media wanted to interview him. And he had spent so much effort to build a wall to keep them out, why would he want to let them in again?
Zhou Fu, however, was optimistic about the cooperation. Although the amusement park was not making big money at the moment, there was a lot of potentials. As Beidou studio’s reputation kept growing, and as they kept producing more movies, it was not impossible to develop an amusement park that was similar to Disneyland.
Of course, this was just a vision, which might be realized in the future or it might just be a dream.
In order to achieve this vision, Zhou Fu tried very hard to persuade Zhou Yu, making various promises that he would limit the activities of the TV crew in the fantasy city and would not let the program crew disturb Zhou Yu’s daily life. Of course, if Zhou Yu was willing to participate, it would be even better.
Speaking of this, Zhou Fu couldn’t help but recall a recent discussion with the producer of a TV program, who was clearly more interested in Zhou Yu and Beidou studio.
It was actually quite understandable since everyone in the industry all knew about this studio. However, despite all kinds of companies were trying to find out the talented people, who were working behind Beidou studio, no one was able to succeed it. If the parent-child variety show and Beidou studio had some interactions, it could definitely improve the rating of the show.
Unfortunately, they could not even get into the fantasy city to shoot a show, let alone invited Zhou Yu to the show.
Zhou Fu still remembered the stunned look on the producer’s face when he told him the rule of the park. That show was not some small shows that no one knew. Many tourist attraction sites and amusement parks would compete with each other over the right to appear in the show. But now they came here personally to invite him in person, and they still looked like they were not willing to?
Seeing the producer’s livid expression, Zhou Fu hurriedly explained, “Of course, I am glad that you are interested to make a special program in our park, but my boss Zhou Yu really does not like to appear in front of the media. It is nothing personal, you can clearly see how many reporters are outside, right? This place is the media forbidden zone.”
After some explanation, Zhou Fu still did not dare to agree on behalf of Zhou Yu, so he rushed back to discuss Zhou Yu. Asking Zhou Yu to join the program would require a miracle to happen, but if it was just shooting a show in the fantasy city, it was still negotiable.
