The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 37: Crazy Gourd Baby

Views:

Lu Yuan's conjecture came to nothing, the owner who lived here was actually a young man in his twenties. It doesn't look like a teacher, why would he stay in the village? It's even less like a farmer, and a white and clean person doesn't look like a worker at all.

After all, it’s not a village, so even if you have questions, you can’t open your mouth casually. You can only open the snack bag to relive your childhood in open-air movies. However, this kind of expectation was immediately cooled after seeing the title of the film, because there were three words written in capitals on the screen - "Gourd Baby".

What age is it, why do you still play this kind of thing that deceives children? Ah, that's right, the people present are really children, and the film itself is very old, so it's normal for this kind of grandpa-level animation to appear. Well, this time I really want to recall my childhood.

With this realization in mind, Lu Yuan started watching movies. However, the quality of this film film called "Calabash Baby" is exaggerated and unbelievable.

The title is a small mountain village, but this small mountain village alone is shocking enough. The background of flowers, plants and trees is as exquisite as a photo, the singing of birds and insects and the melodious music embellish it like a paradise, which is too beautiful.

Lu Yuan almost vomited while drinking Coke, this is a domestic animation!

In college, Lu Yuan was a member of the animation club. Although she usually only played cosplay and other activities, her understanding of animation was far superior to that of other people present. Such an exquisite picture is not the style that normal domestic animation should have at all, okay

It's a pity that no one except her found it strange, but it made her feel like she was making a fuss. It's unreasonable, the open-air movies shown in a large courtyard in the countryside are even more exciting than the movies in movie theaters in big cities!

Lu Yuan immediately took out her mobile phone, took a short video, and then sent it to those friends in the animation club.

"Believe it or not, I saw a domestic animation blockbuster in the countryside!"

Although it was only a few tens of seconds, and it was taken with a mobile phone in dim light, the superb quality still puzzled Lu Yuan's friends.

"I'll go, when is the film? I've never heard of it!"

"This is not the "Gourd Baby" I know! How could my "Gourd Baby" be so beautiful!"

"I can't find the source of the movie online, Yuanzi, are you sure you saw it in the countryside?"

The circle of friends suddenly became lively, and Lu Yuan took some more photos and passed them on to them. Now no one questioned, and then began to frantically search for this strange "Gourd Baby".

It is unbelievable that I have not heard any news about such a high-quality domestic blockbuster. It stands to reason that there should have been all kinds of news before the production started, and the screenings have already started, and it has already entered the countryside, yet there is no relevant news

Every time Lu Yuan posts a short paragraph, it can always stimulate them so much that they can't wait to fly to the scene to watch.

"Damn it, Shuiwa is a girl!"

"Damn it, I can't do it, this piece of hibiscus is so beautiful! Next time I will use this costume for cosplay!"

This section is the image of the birth of the water baby. The ancient costumes full of Han style and various decorations embellish the beauty of the water baby to the extreme. The iconic gourd is not on the head, but appears in the form of a tattoo on the water baby. On his forehead, there are flame patterns that girls like in the old days.

Not only has the image of Shuiwa changed drastically, but the other six brothers are no longer facial makeup. Each has a different appearance, personality, and ability, which are vividly displayed in the film. The brand-new gourd dolls are quite modern, and they are arranged together in an inexplicable way.

"Yuanzi, ask the owner of the movie theater, if it's still showing tomorrow, I'll book a bus ticket and go to your house right away!"

There are already people who are not satisfied with being tantalized for a short period of time, and immediately decide to kill Lu Yao's house. Anyway, they can't afford to eat, live, and watch movies. In addition to a few people who were traveling outside, there were two other people who also expressed their intention to come, so it was quite lively now.

The last battle between good and evil is even more exciting to watch. Huowa's flame looks like the "Holy Fireball Technique", while Shuiwa's "water dragon bomb" almost makes people think that they are watching the movie version of Naruto. The almost invincible posture and evil smile of the combined Vajra gourd baby made Lu Yao even more excited.

After seeing this video secretly shot by a mobile phone, Lu Yao’s friends are all convinced. I don’t know which company in China made it. However, searching for "Calabash Baby" on the Internet can't find the version in the mobile phone video at all, only the old version and old wine in new bottles.

This is strange, it has already been screened in the countryside, why hasn't it been released yet

With all kinds of questions, Lu Yao's friends rushed to Hongshan Village.

Before the friends arrived, Lu Yuan did her homework first.

The owner of the open-air cinema is Zhou Yu, a strange young man who is said to have stayed at home for more than a year without seeing anyone. It's not surprising that Lu Yao is just an otaku. I see a lot of people in the city, but I didn't expect that there would be people living in the countryside. I really have a computer with Internet access and I can live anywhere.

It wasn't until recently that Zhou Yu started to play tricks. First, he made a lot of military models, which shocked the TV station, and even held an art exhibition in the school. Later, he started to set up a movie theater, and the children were always running to his house with all kinds of obsessions. The strange thing was that they didn't charge money and didn't know what to draw.

Based on these hearsay, there is quite a feeling of a rural strange person.

In the evening, Xiao Lele was anxious to go to the movies again, but this time she didn't have to worry, because besides her aunt, there were three older sisters who were willing to take her there. However, if there are too many people, you can’t ride a bicycle. Fortunately, it’s not too far away. It’s a ten-minute walk, and it’s right to exercise after dinner.

After entering Luhua Village, one of Lu Yao's little friends, Zhang Mengmeng, suddenly let out an exclamation, and then stood on a high place overlooking the panorama of Luhua Village under the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Isn't this... Luhua Village?"

Lu Yao was surprised, he never mentioned the name of Luhua Village, how did Mengmeng know

"There is Luhua Elementary School... there is the deserted temple... and there is the village chief's house. The Zhou Yu's house you are talking about is not the big courtyard next to it?"

Zhang Mengmeng is so familiar, as if he is very familiar with Luhua Village, but Lu Yao knows that Zhang Mengmeng is not a local at all, not even from the province, so how can he be so familiar with a small rural village

"I said Mengmeng, you were from Luhua Village in your previous life, right? Why are you more familiar with me than a local?"

"What, I just like a game very much. There is a Luhua Village in it, and it is exactly the same as the village in front of me!"

It turned out that this was a player who had played "Luhua Village—Legend Chapter".
