Chapter 101

In fact, they really are celebrities.

Xu Mingyue!

When Zhou Zhou Wenyi and his employees heard that it was Xu Mingyue who wanted to acquire the Wuyi Animation Studio, they were all stunned.

Although they were old, they were not the kind of old fogies who didn't use the internet; on the contrary, because of their daughters or sons, they were particularly fond of them and very familiar with them.

This was also one of the reasons why Zhou Zhou Wenyi agreed to meet Lin Yan for negotiations right away.

This is what they call "love me, love my dog," I suppose.

Another reason was that celebrities have money, though, of course, that wasn't the most important point.

The most important reason was that he knew this pair of twins were screenwriters.

Screenwriters are good at constructing stories, and perhaps they could provide good creative ideas for the studio's animation.

Thinking of the movie "Ring" he had watched half a month ago, a chill suddenly ran down Zhou Zhou Wenyi's spine.

That movie was clear proof of this pair of twins' talent for storytelling.

Although counting on a celebrity like Xu Mingyue seemed absurd, there was no better way now.

Of course.

Before discussing business, there was something more important to do.

When Xu Youyue, Xu Mingyue, and Lin Yan entered the office under Zhou Zhou Wenyi's reception, every employee, including Zhou Zhou Wenyi, took out notebooks of various colors.

Get an autograph first!

Zhou Zhou Wenyi also couldn't understand why his 21-year-old daughter, who was already a university student, would be so infatuated with this pair of twins.

She even claimed to be a follower of some "Moon-Worshipping Cult."

It was just ridiculous!

When the twin girls took off their masks, Zhou Zhou Wenyi knew why his daughter was crazy about this pair of twins.

"Beauty that topples cities and states"—he had thought it was an exaggerated term used by the ancients, but he hadn't expected it to truly exist in this world.

They looked even better in person than on the internet.

For a moment, everyone in the office was mesmerized.

"Ahem..." Lin Yan coughed lightly; she knew the lethality of these two sisters' looks, which could be described as killing across all ages and genders.

Immediately after.

They got down to business.

The acquisition went very smoothly.

It was finally settled at a price of two million.

After all, there wasn't really much left of the Wuyi Studio.

The young girls were also very satisfied with this price.

In this way, she wouldn't need to borrow money from Lin Yan.

It would be available in two days.

Immediately after, both sides signed the acquisition contract, which Lin Yan had prepared in advance.

"I wonder, two bosses, do you have any plans for what comes next?"

Zhou Zhou Wenyi changed his status quickly; having been a boss his whole life, he soon transitioned into the role of an employee for Xu Mingyue.

Someone who has weathered storms can pick things up and let them go.

"I need you to produce an anime," Xu Youyue smiled slightly and said, getting straight to the point.

Before coming, she had carefully learned about this person from Lin Yan.

This person had been in the animation industry for many years and was very talented.

But because his personality was too blunt, he easily offended people, so after the Wuyi Studio peaked, it never climbed back up; later, as it flopped again and again, no one was willing to help.

However.

The young girl didn't mind.

As long as these "tools" had the necessary skills, it was fine.

Personality and such were minor issues.

"Oh, what kind of anime?" Zhou Zhou Wenyi became a bit interested.

This pair of twins were screenwriters; he looked forward to them bringing out something different.

The Wuyi Studio's animation capabilities were solid; what they lacked were creativity and scripts.

Nearby, the original staff members also pricked up their ears.

"It should be a bit 'burning' (passionate)," the young girl thought for a moment and said.

"Year Hare Affair" should count as a bit "burning"; as for what kind, the art style was that of a children's animation, but the subject matter was military and historical... anyway, after watching it, the feeling it gave people was very "burning," and it was also very tear-jerking.

"'Burning'?" Zhou Zhou Wenyi immediately thought of Japanese anime and frowned.

Currently, the most popular things on the market were those Japanese anime that used "super burning" as a gimmick.

"Is it a children's animation?"

"I estimate they might not understand it..." Xu Youyue's expression was strange; it would be a miracle if elementary school students could understand "Year Hare Affair."

"I brought the script, take a look first."

As she finished speaking.

The younger sister, Xu Mingyue, took a script out of her backpack.

And this action of hers attracted the gazes of Lin Yan, Zhou Zhou Wenyi, and everyone else in the office.

Ever since the two sisters took a stack of sheet music out of their backpacks on a variety show last time, the Xu Mingyue backpack had become an object of excited discussion among netizens.

Some even called this backpack Xu Mingyue's "arsenal," and heaven knows what sheet music or scripts were inside.

Anyway, taking out any random piece could potentially make someone famous or add a few more classic songs to the music scene.

"Even an anime script? Is it really the 'Charm King's' arsenal?" Lin Yan's eyes sparkled; she was super interested in the two sisters' backpacks.

Zhou Zhou Wenyi took the script.

The anime script provided by the young girl was only a first draft, with little content, only the first few episodes.

One must always be on guard against others.

Although the studio had already been acquired, she still had to play it safe; she would only provide more content after the employee contracts and non-disclosure agreements were signed.

In fact.

If the acquisition contract hadn't already been signed, Zhou Zhou Wenyi wouldn't have been able to see this script at all.

On the other side.

"'Year Hare Affair'?"

Zhou Zhou Wenyi looked at the script title, his brows slightly furrowed.

This name, no matter how you looked at it, sounded like a children's animation for kids.

And, "burning"?

Does this have anything to do with "burning" at all?

But the script was already in his hands, so he might as well take a look; with the intention of just flipping through it, Zhou Zhou Wenyi opened the script.

The result, however, was that he couldn't stop.

Frowning.

Surprised.

Shocked.

Breathing rapidly.

Eyes wide open.

Lin Yan and the other studio employees in the office witnessed Zhou Zhou Wenyi skillfully perform a Sichuan opera "face-changing" act.

This scene reminded Lin Yan of the expression she and Yang Mi had when they first read the script for "Ring."

At the same time, Lin Yan and the others in the office all became curious.

"What exactly is written on that script?"

Especially the original employees of the Wuyi Studio; they were even more curious. They knew Zhou Zhou Wenyi usually had a "judge's face" and rarely had fluctuations in expression; this was the first time they had seen such intense fluctuations.
