205 Making a Movie with Monsters

"I've seen it."

"I still have the DVD."

They said.

The Spirit Fox spirit's expression shifted, and he hesitated before asking, "Ikeda Ichinosuke?"

Shuya nodded. "That's right, just one TV series has this kind of influence, making my master's name known throughout Japan."

His words were so explicit that even the dumbest Monster could understand the implication.

Their eyes gradually brightened, and their breathing became rapid.

Shuya continued, "With the current speed of internet development, not only Japan, but the whole world will be connected in the future. The exchange of information will be incredibly convenient, and you won't need to cause as much trouble as you did in the past to become famous."

He tempted Oniichi: "Think about it, humans have a natural fascination with the mysterious and a deep curiosity about them. If we create a video website and post everyone's amazing photos..."

"Will it immediately attract public attention and gain a lot of power?"

"No one has realized this method yet, and no one—neither Monster nor gods—will try to take it from us."

Shuya said quietly, "Tell me, if my idea comes true, how much benefit will you gain? Will the Kansai still be just a dream?"

The great Monster were captivated by the pie he had drawn and chuckled foolishly.

The Spirit Fox was the same, but he quickly came to his senses and asked a question, "I admit what you said has a good chance of coming true, but you may not know that the higher-ups actually don't really want us to appear in front of ordinary people."

Because the Earth Federation knows the destructive power and difficulty in controlling superhumans.

Therefore, there are regulations to prevent Monster and gods who can absorb the power of will to become stronger from being too conspicuous.

Shuya thought for a moment and said, "Then we can change our strategy. When designing the website, we can attach a small Strange Arts to the website's entry point, setting it so that only people with superhuman Power of Will can see it, thus filtering out ordinary people."

"There are quite a few people with outstanding Power of Will, which can also bring a lot of power. Do you think it's feasible?"

The Spirit Fox thought for a moment and said, "It sounds feasible. But how do we do it?"

"Leave it to me."

Shuya said, "I plan to discuss with my dad about starting a video website, which will be set up as a Surface and Hidden Website."

"Your father?"

"Inoue Hikoo!"

"Pah! That bastard!"

The Monster's attention was completely drawn to his father, and they began to curse him angrily.

... Dad, your ability to cause trouble is definitely maxed out.

Shuya quickly tried to calm them down. "Everyone, do you want to cooperate with me or not?"

The great Monster didn't think much of it and nodded casually, "Sure! We don't understand anyway!"

The Spirit Fox gasped, taken aback by their foolishness. "You're all too quick! Didn't you even listen to his specific plans?"

Shuya laughed and said, "Actually, it's very simple. With my family's connections, it'll be easy to get the video website up and running."

Moreover, he has a secret technique.

He explained it to them.

With his family's connections, it wouldn't be difficult for him to persuade TV stations to upload past dramas to video websites, and he could also get broadcasting rights for animations, movies, and the like.

His family is a hidden powerhouse in the entertainment industry, with undeniable connections.

These videos are easy to attract people, and then he can submit some more videos. If people find them interesting, it's not hard to inspire their creative desire and make the website successful.

Japan currently doesn't have any domestic video websites, so there's no competition.

Now that we are in a new era, cultivation methods must also keep up with the times!

High-tech training – you deserve it!

Shuya successfully reached a preliminary agreement with the great Monster to collaborate on creating a video website.

They brought out the Fox Demon to talk to Shuya.

The Fox Demon didn't promise anything, but he said that if the method worked, everything would be fine.

Overall, they felt it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, as their situation wouldn't get any worse.

After Shuya learned about their energy levels, and only then did he realize that there were actually many talented demons among the Monster.

Monster are generally stupid, but Half-Monster are not necessarily so. They may not be strong in combat, but they are relatively smart and physically capable. As long as they work hard, they can generally achieve something.

Shuya and the other great Monster discussed it and concluded that even without Inoue Hikoo's connections, they could find quite a few demon talents who understood computers.

These talented demons were present, and the great Monster immediately summoned them for a chat. After a brief conversation, they all indicated that there were no problems.

One of the Half-Monster even patted its chest and boasted, "I'm not exaggerating, but we Half-Monster can work way more hard than ordinary people! When we're working out, we only need to sleep once every three or four days! And we don't even lose our hair!"

"Alright, leave your contact information. My dad and I will discuss it and contact you as soon as possible."

Then the Fox Demon added, "By the way, if you don't have enough money, just ask. We demons are so poor we only have money left."

"Okay, I'll definitely call you if necessary."

After Shuya reached a cooperation agreement with them, he finally joined in the revelry.

Both Shuya and the great Monster were full of hope for this cooperation.

Their Power of Will all faintly sensed that this matter could succeed!

If it works out, then...

The great Monster's smiles became even more benevolent.

Their Buddhist-like mindset gradually warmed up.

Section 221, Chapter 205: Filming with Monster

After sobering up the next day, Shuya began his actions.

He went to the company to meet with Inoue Hikoo and easily persuaded him to start a video website.

Inoue Hikoo had always been very interested in the internet. After listening to Shuya's predictions about the future development of the internet (which was actually a copy of the internet development in his previous life), he thought what he said made a lot of sense.

He happily decided to work on a website with Shuya.

He shared the same thought as the great Monster: trying wouldn't get him pregnant anyway.

After obtaining Inoue Hikoo's consent, Shuya invited the great Monster and related technical yokai personnel to a meeting.

Before the meeting, Inoue Hikoo asked Shuya, "Shu-chan, who's stronger, you or them?"

"I'm strong; they're all my defeated opponents."

After receiving a definite answer from Shuya, Inoue Hikoo met with them with great confidence, his demeanor completely undiminished.

This is a classic example of "the fox borrowing the tiger's power."

The Monster were actually taken aback by his attitude, and they thought to themselves that he was indeed worthy of being Shuya's father; his courage was truly extraordinary.

Seeing his bravery, the great Monster' ill feelings towards him faded considerably, and they began to respect him.

During the discussions, the plan to build the video website gradually took shape.

Having been a boss for so long, Inoue Hikoo is very skilled at division of labor.

First, he instructed the Half-Monster to quickly create a website, even if it was rough around the edges.

After listening to Shuya's ambitious plan, he said that there was no precedent for this type of video website in Japan, so it was best not to make it too complicated at the beginning, and there was no need to design the website to be perfect at the start.

Furthermore, there's no need for user submissions for now; we should first let them get used to watching videos on a computer.

Inoue Hikoo instructed the Half-Monster to design a similar website, referencing those from other regions.

Currently, only Great Hua and America have video websites, but neither is very well-known.

Japan doesn't have that yet.

It's not too late to open up the user submission function after the Japan have gotten used to watching videos online.

Now that this decision has been made, the question is how to attract readers when users cannot submit their work.

It's very simple. Shuya brought it up before: just buy the online streaming rights to entertainment works from other companies.

Inoue Hikoo then began making arrangements.

He would go to the animation companies he knew to ask, Shuya and Hanazawa Sakura would go to buy TV dramas and movies.

Those with connections can also buy the remaining powerful Monster.

With the combined efforts of humans and transvestites, their power had grown considerably. They quickly acquired the broadcasting rights to many videos, and combined with the IPs of Inoue Hikoo's own company, they had a wealth of video resources.

With their move, the entire entertainment industry knew they were going to launch a video website, and everyone was watching to see if they could succeed.

Some people in the know were quite surprised that Inoue Hikoo and Shuya had suddenly made contact with the Monster.

Although the forces of Monster are not as powerful as those of gods, they are still a formidable force.

With strong connections, ample funding, and a large number of exceptionally talented individuals, the video website was quickly established and entered closed beta testing.

Soon, a rough but modern website was created.

The website's function is very simple; currently, it's just a video website for watching movies and animations.

Once you open it, you'll see the cover images of various videos, along with featured recommendations like "This Japan's Picks," and a ranking list on one side.

At the top of the page are various category tags and such, that's basically it, no need to go into details.

Shuya provided some experience from later generations, so the user experience was very good.

After the website was created, it was tested by various partner companies and Monster for a few days, and the feedback was very good.

After some minor adjustments based on feedback, the website is now temporarily complete.

But this is just Surface Website.

There are also Hidden Website for people with extraordinary abilities.

The design of the Hidden Website and the Surface Website is largely the same, but there are currently no videos available, and suitable videos cannot be purchased from external sources.

But that's not a problem.

If there's no video, then film it yourself; this is Shuya's real secret to coaxing those powerful Monster into joining his group.

The videos on that Hidden Website are mainly for helping Monster become famous and to collect respect and awe.

Shuya decides to personally film a movie with Monster).

He is popular and can attract followers for powerful Monster.

Another point is that users on the Surface Website cannot upload videos, but Hidden Website can.

To avoid the videos looking too shabby, Shuya and the great Monster jointly ordered a video solicitation, which also gave the Monster below a chance to become famous.

The Monster and the Half-Monster were enthusiastically discussing what to film, showing great energy.

Shuya ignored them, only instructing the technical staff not to relax and to quickly develop an entry link that could identify whether someone was an ordinary person.

He then immersed himself in filming.

He had already decided what he wanted to film.

He decided to make a series of shows where he would challenge powerful yokai (Monster) living in seclusion in Tokyo.

Each episode is about twenty minutes long. The opening sequence is when he visits the main Monster guest of the episode, introduces his background, talks about some interesting things, and then demonstrates and popularizes the abilities of Monster to satisfy people's curiosity.

Then, of course, the fighting began immediately.

But this fight wasn't a real fight. Shuya drew on his experience filming action movies in Great Hua to design a cool fighting style for himself and the big Monster.

After being filmed and processed in post-production, it became a very good program.

After we finish playing, we can chat for a bit, and then the show can wrap up.

Shuya had no production experience, he had participated in various TV programs, so he was quite capable in making this.

Considering that the audience wouldn't understand without explanation, he brought in Tsuruko and Haruno to co-host.

Tsuruko was in charge of explaining, Haruno was responsible for creating a lively atmosphere and asking Tsuruko questions when appropriate.
