Pyromaniac
Chapter 89 Pyromaniac
What is a big production? This is a big production. Destroying so many ships without any hesitation, and if the scene was not satisfied, Zhou Yu even needed to destroy some more. In order to shoot this scene, he had already destroyed ten identical pirate ships. So who dared to say that this was not a big production?
At least those kids were extremely surprised. But they all still admired the "squandering" action of brother Yu.
The one that was also surprised was Zhou Shuyu. Hearing that the rich man Zhou Yu was making a movie, she also came over to have a look. Although she didn’t have any talent, it was still her major. However, just when she arrived, she saw Zhou Yu was blowing up ships frantically.
‘This… how much does he want to blow up?!’
What Zhou Shuyu felt was exactly what Zhou Fu felt at this moment. Whenever he heard a bang, a few hundred Chinese Yuan would be gone. This shit was too expensive. But then when it comes to shooting the other scenes, Zhou Shuyu was quite surprised that this rich man was actually quite good, he didn’t look like an amateur at all.
This was actually normal, although Zhou Yu himself did not have any filming experience, the one who instructed him was a legendary director. He just needed to follow his instructions closely. However, in Zhou Shuyu’s eyes, he was even better than her who took the directing course as her major.
Unwilling to admit that, she also went home and took out a camera. When Zhou Yu was filming the movie, she was taking the behind-the-scenes video.
A video named "The animated movie – Fruit Pirates production behind the scenes footage" soon began to be shared by the people online. And it slowly became popular. The reason why it got popular was not that the movie was very good. Since in the video, there weren’t any animated scenes. What made it popular was the frantic behavior of the cameraman.
The last scene of the sea battle, was the grand final battle. Dozens of medieval ships were put in the wave pool all together. All the students who had free visitor cards and who also knew how to swim all came to help. Each one of them was responsible for one ship’s movements, therefore, it looked magnificent and impressive.
Seeing this, many people find the video very familiar. After all, many people had seen the video of the aircraft carrier launching ceremony. So when they saw so many ship models with so many kids, they immediately thought of Luhua village. As they checked closely, sure enough, there were some kids from the last video, also in this video as well.
The behind-the-scenes video was filled with the fun and the joy of childlike innocence. It was quite interesting to see a strange young man instructing kids to control the medieval ships to form all kinds of formations, stimulating medieval naval offense and defense battles. Some netizens who had studied the medieval naval battles also complimented the strange young man, because his command was in line with the real naval battle, which could be said to have a fairly high degree of reproducing the scenes of the
Then, it was the close-up shots of every ship. Every ship was ridiculously delicate and absurdly attention to detail. It made those people, who loved to collect medieval ship models, drooling over the screen.
"Holy shit, this ship model is perfect. Where can I buy it!?"
"Stop thinking about it. Remember the aircraft carrier? They don’t sell it. Probably this time is also the same. But to be honest, what an impressive view!"
Talented people would always be envied and hated by other people. Those ship model enthusiasts almost wanted to get into the video to touch those ships personally. However, they were completed stunned by the next scene.
Burning ships!
This scene happened in a naval military port. In addition to the fascinating naval port model that was produced on-site, rows of neatly placed warships also made people green with envy. What a perfect model making ability, if they could also do it, they would not be bored even if they were making those models every day.
However, many people’s hearts were shattered in that scene.
Shockingly, that young man named Zhou Yu began to brush the ship with oils. Perhaps, he was not happy with the cooking oil, he was brushing it while saying that it was a shame that he couldn’t get gasoline, so he could only use this as the accelerant.
Hearing the word accelerant, everyone was completely confused. ‘What!? accelerant!? Don’t tell me you are going to burn those ships!?’
The voice of the person who took the behind-the-scenes footage was a female, and she also asked in a concerned manner, "Are you really going to burn them? Can you not use special effects to edit the video? It would be a shame if you burn all those beautiful ships!"
Zhou Yu’s answer was even more shocking, "I can still make more if those ships were destroyed. Besides, I have already destroyed a dozen of them already. It is a sacrifice that is necessary for art. It is for a good cause."
"Oh my god, you even destroyed a dozen already!?"
Then the camera was panned to a pile of debris on the side. Over there, indeed piled up many pieces of destroyed ship models. It almost formed a small debris mountain.
It was at this moment, the bullet comments suddenly flooded the screen.
"Brother Richman, please leave those ships alone. At least, leave just one ship for me. I’m begging you!"
"Oh my god, my Ship Of The Line! Damn you! You maniac!"
"Oh no, I can’t take it anymore. Can someone please call the fire department! Ships are dying!"
"Amen, when I am dead, I wish someone could burn a pile of Fleet girls (艦娘 kanmusu) for me!"
Countless bullet comments directly made the video become the most popular video of the day. It made even more people see the video. Many people were shocked that someone would want to burn so many fleet girls. Even the leader of the FFF Inquisition also didn’t dare to be as rampant as this.
Of course, some people also doubted that the man would really do it. Maybe he was just bluffing. There were so many ships, it would at least be worth around ten thousand Chinese Yuan, and that naval port model, it would definitely not be cheap either. There was no way any sensible person would do it.
Therefore people kept watching the video.
They then saw the strange young man was holding a camera, and only taking some close shots of the naval port. After going around for a few times, he simply left.
"Okay, little Rat, the following scenes are very dangerous. Please keep your distance and don’t get near it."
Those, who were just relieved, were startled by the young man’s words again. Then they saw that the young man really took out a small torch that was wrapped in oily cotton cloth, lit it up and then threw it at the ships.
However, it was not gasoline after all. It didn’t light the ships up instantly. Only after a while did the fire began to spread out. Then the young man kept lighting up some oily cotton cloth balls and throwing them towards the ships, until it became a sea of fire.
"Brother you have my respect. This poor one will never understand the rich man’s world."
"Observe! The rise of FFF Inquisition!"
"Player: God Of Fire has entered the game!"
"One ship has been slain!"
"Two ships have been slain!"
"Three ships have been slain!"
….
"Unstoppable!"
The fire was fierce, but the young man was still filming very professionally, even if he was sweating and a tiny part of his hair was burned by the fire, he still did not move back, but continue to shoot at close range.
Seeing the beautiful ships and the port were devoured by the sea of fire, and after the bullet comments exploded for a while, the audience finally began to think of the name of the video more carefully – "The animated movie – Fruit Pirates production behind-the-scenes footage". So the young man was making a movie?
Spending so much money just for a few scenes? But why there was just one cameraman? Was this a personal project or a company’s product. Why hadn’t they heard of it before?
Very interesting!
