Otaku Witch

"Senior, are you selling me?"

Dorothy looked at Senior Mia opposite her, her gaze full of grievance.

But it was already too late; the little junior sister beside her had already looked towards her.

"Senior sister..."

Audrey's tiny fox doll on her shoulder hesitated to speak, but those charming fox eyes were filled with anticipation.

Little Fox really wanted to help everyone, but she was afraid of messing things up if she acted alone. However, if the senior sister joined in, then there would be no problem.

And who could refuse such a pitifully weak, helpless, yet truly adorable little fox?

Dorothy had the words of refusal on the tip of her tongue but couldn't bear to continue saying them. She worried if she refused, it would hurt the little junior sister and make her really upset, then what could she do?

Well, going on stage it is. Although she didn't like appearing in public, it wasn't like she was unpresentable. Plus, playing a tree or grass on stage is something she's always been good at.

The homebody witch recalled her go-to performances during the occasional school-wide dramatic activities in her past life, comforting herself this way.

"Okay, Audrey, don't be afraid; I will always be by your side."

Dorothy smiled, responding to her junior sister's anticipation.

"Senior sister..."

Upon hearing this answer, the sentimental Audrey was immediately overwhelmed with emotion, her long eyes turning into teary eggs, and the fox doll on her shoulder choked up a bit.

The Fox Witch was genuinely touched; she knew her senior sister's nature of not liking to stand out or cause trouble. So, her senior sister was making a decision that went against her personal philosophy just to look after her.

Thinking of this, Little Fox felt warm inside; her senior sister was really too good to her. If it weren't for having someone special in her heart already, she would surely be smitten by now.

With such a sister, what more could one ask for?

Audrey couldn't help but clenched her little fists, resolving in her heart that this time she must give it her all.

"So, Audrey, do you have any suggestions on Senior Mia's recent talk about cultural monetization?"

Having made up her mind, the homebody witch didn't continue to hesitate and decisively moved to the next phase of discussion.

Cultural monetization, which seemingly wasn't difficult, was merely about promoting culture to outside, making others gradually accept and love the culture being spread, and eventually profiting through various cultural activities or merchandise.

Taking Japan as an example, next, it is about finding a way to expand Japan's influence, make more witches accept and enjoy the Eastern Universe culture distinct from the Western Universe, and willingly shell out their Gold Coins to recharge for love, like voluntarily buying Fish Grass or swords produced in Japan.

To put it simply, essentially it is just operating an IP.

But theory is one thing, practice is another. No industry giant can confidently assure everyone that the IP they are operating will certainly become popular, not to mention Dorothy and the others are newcomers just starting out.

When Audrey heard her senior sister's question, she lowered her head to think for a bit and then operated the doll to speak.

"How about we shoot a Magic Shadow? Venus will have a Demon King Award contest next month; if we can participate and even win an award, it would be a great promotion."

Little Fox suggested.

The so-called Magic Shadow is actually something akin to a movie, but the magical Magic Shadow is far more advanced than the films Dorothy experienced in her past life, which remained solely at the visual sensory level.

Magic Shadow allows the viewers to directly assume the protagonist's perspective, experiencing all that the film's protagonist undergoes. They can not only see what the protagonist sees, hear what the protagonist hears, but also smell what the protagonist smells and feel everything the protagonist experiences.

Indeed, some little witches even watch adult-rated Magic Shadows that can directly relate to the protagonist's pain or pleasure, which are truly exhilarating.

Some high-budget Magic Shadows even offer a multiple-angle experience, allowing you to experience not only the protagonist's perspective but also supporting characters' perspectives, even extras' perspectives.

It's all very liberating.

"Magic Shadow? Really? Starting with such high difficulty?"

Dorothy frowned, just like how movie stars in her past life had a subtly higher status in the entertainment industry compared to other variety show stars or idol singers; in the Witch World, Magic Shadow held a relatively esteemed position among various film projects.

It is something only industry giants can partake in, even playing a named extra requires actors with some fame.

After all, filming Magic Shadow isn't something just anyone can do. If it were a film, viewers could only judge an actor's performance through visuals, so whatever the actor thought while acting didn't matter as long as their expressions and actions were on point.

But Magic Shadow goes beyond just surface filming; it records the actors' inner drama and whether their emotions are in place during acting, essential for letting viewers feel immersive and engaged.
