Chapter 206 The Shooting Begins
Edited by Xelot
One agent left happily, and another came in with a sycophantic smile, and then there were all sorts of discussions regarding all sorts of deals. Almost all the idols, who dared to sign up for the A+ rated variety show, had good attributes, plus some “friendly sponsorship”, they could all get a role.
As for the candidates for the twelve adventurers, it could not be traded. Not only they had to consider the basic abilities of idols, but they also had to consider whether the abilities meet the needs of the script. Most importantly, they had to get Producer Oba’s approval. Regarding the actors of the twelve adventurers, Oba had the right to overrule Zhou Yu and Xia Huan’s decision.
After a few days of interviewing, they received a pile of strange items, and tens of thousands of Moe coins, which was later split by Zhou Yu and Xia Huan. To produce this program, Xia Huan provided funds and all other necessary personnel, Zhou Yu provided shooting venues and script. That is to say that Zhou Yu made a large sum of Moe coins before the show even started broadcasting.
The shooting of the variety show in the ACG world was just about to start, but the film crew of the variety show in the real world were going to leave now.
The summer vacation was coming to an end, Mu Zi’s program group had completed this season of parent-child variety show’s shooting. The overall result was satisfactory. However, unable to discover more of Zhou Yu’s secret, this disappointed Mu Zi a little. The surprising appearance of Muli, the mystery of Zhou Yu, those were all the interesting material that he could work with. However, he couldn’t capture any footage.
The latest mystery was the treasure hunt, in which an ancient object with a bit of history was dug up and has become a hot topic in the village. The stone lion itself was not surprising, but upon examination, it was found to be hollow. Under its belly, a rotating Bagua diagram was found. After studying it, it was a mechanical lock. However, so far no one could figure out how to unlock it.
What is hidden in the belly of the stone lion? No one knows yet. What people in Luhua village liked to talk about was that this stone lion may contain some ancient Chinese landlords’ treasures, which was definitely worth a lot of money.
This thing was even reported by the local TV news channel, but Mu Zi was more interested in how it was found.
Zhou Yu, an otaku, who rarely left the house, suddenly said that he wanted to look for treasures, and then he took a group of children, searching for the treasures around in the village. With a small chariot, which was said to be very similar to a compass, they found something in a ruined temple, and then they started to dig. And in the end, they really found a stone lion.
This magical little chariot was given to a child nicknamed little Rat later, but it had lost its magic and could not give directions anymore. If it weren’t for the fact that little Rat and his friends were all saying the same thing, and they indeed found a treasure in the end, no one would’ve believed it.
However, the key person in this treasure hunt stopped talking about it after the treasure was found as if he had completely lost his interest. Even the problem regarding the owner of the stone lion, he just left it indifferently to the elders of the village to decide.
Of course, Zhou Yu didn’t mind if the stone lion was taken away. He had already taken all the things he should have taken anyway. Now it only left with some rotten pens and papers inside.
If they wanted it, he wouldn’t mind if they take all of them. Just wait for those, who expected to see gold jewelry inside the stone lion, to open it. Zhou Yu believed that they would definitely curse Zhou Miao at that time.
But in Mu Zi’s eyes, the boy only wanted to enjoy the process of treasure hunt, but was not interested in the treasure. But how did he know that there was a treasure, and where the little chariot came from? Those were still mysteries. The mysterious Zhou Yu did not plan to explain it at all. Since no one would interrogate him, he just said that he was just playing around with kids, but he didn’t expect that he would really find a treasure.
He was just playing around, but he could still find a treasure? With this kind of luck, many people thought that he should buy a lottery ticket instead of doing the treasure hunt.
It was a pity that Zhou Yu didn’t like to appear on TV. Otherwise, everything about him could be used as materials in the program. It was only after filming ended, that he finally appeared in the fantasy city to bid farewell to the little celebrities.
Whenever those little guys had nothing to do, they would like to go to Zhou Yu’s house to get free food or drinks. After interacting with them for a while, they also became familiar with each other, so it was natural that he would come out to say goodbye to those kids.
“Young man, your animated variety show is quite interesting. A few people have already contacted me. Maybe they can help.”
Mu Zi indeed used his resources to help Zhou Yu, but some people were also interested in the new ideas like the animated variety show, and some were interested in little Muli and the teams behind Zhou Yu, so the possibility of cooperation was very high.
If a new show wanted to become a hit, it needed to build hype, and the bigger the hype was the better it was. And it is more likely to succeed if the show used those resources well.
However, Zhou Yu said nonchalantly, “You can talk to uncle Fu about this. I am only responsible for making the program, he is in charge of the operation. You have been staying in the amusement park for so long. Why are you still so interested in talking business with me?”
Mu Zi smiled helplessly, this young man never changed. Alrighty then, whether the show would become successful or not, at least the journey is the most important.
Then Zhou Yu gave everyone in the film crew some local products as a little leaving gift. Unlike the previous deficit, the amusement park managed to make a profit in the last two months, and most of the credit goes to the film crew. But now that the film crew was going to leave the park, Zhou Fu’s pressure started to increase again, especially with a new project , it was going to be another tough gamble.
…………………
After sending off the film crew, the first season of “The Little Muli’s incredible maze”, “the imprisoned princess”, officially began to shoot.
Oba was the producer, Ling Daoran of Beidou was the director, Zhao Zan, and little Muli were the host and the hostess of the show, plus all the top idols from the ACG worlds.With eyes of anticipation, this stunning cast began their long filming journey.
The large stage in front of the maze was decorated by Beidou’s film crew. It was shining with colorful light, looking like a true grand stage. After all, this show would be broadcast by the Starlight TV station, so the stage could not be shabby. The stage alone cost Beidou about 5,000 Moe Coins, it could be clearly seen that Xia Huan invested everything he had in this show.
If the show goes wrong, Beidou may have to come to Luhua village and seek refuge from Zhou Yu.

Whenever Zhou Yu thought of this, he would not be able to help himself but think that it might not be that bad if the show failed. At least, a lot of talented people from Xia Huan’s company would join Luhua village. At that time, Luhua village may be able to directly level up to Luhua city. And if that really happened, he would be the lord of a city! That would be very awesome!
Of course, Zhou Yu could only think about it. If he really did it and if Xia Huan found it out, not only would he lose a friend at that time, he would also have an enemy. It was better not to mess with a man, who dared to compete with the most powerful management company in Starlight city and was still standing to this day.
Under the gorgeous shining light show, the host Zhao Zan and hostess Little Muli, who dressed in splendid attire, slowly walked onto the stage and began the opening speech.
Their dresses were all milked from other agents, and although they were not as classy as the previous white phoenix wedding dress, they were more suitable for the stage. Especially little Muli, after putting on the dress and walking on the stage, the aura she sent out immediately shocked all the members of the film crew.
She was truly a top idol, once she was on the stage, she was completely a different kind of person.
