Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1160 Video games are a universal language

 Chapter 1160 Video games are a common language in the world

 Zhu Youxing just smiled and did not respond directly.

This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly. Zhuyouxing has the experience of the previous life and has many excellent video games from the previous life as the basis.

He couldn't fully claim to take the credit on himself, so he didn't directly respond to Hayakawa Ueto's exclamation, but just responded with a smile.

However, in Hayakawa Ueto's view, this is more like the pride of a creator.

If you are an ordinary creator, Hayakawa Ueto is not highly regarded.

There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but people like Zhu Youxing who continue to burst out in talent in an industry are quite rare, and such a person may not be born for decades.

 Such a person is worthy of Hayakawa Ueto's admiration.

 Below, the Japanese national team entered the venue, the music of Dragon Quest also ended in time, and the next country came on stage.

Each country has its own BGM. This music arrangement is also responsible for Ono Saoyuki. In order to make many songs suitable for the styles of different countries, it can be said that he spent a lot of brain cells and time.

 For this reason, he and his team stayed up all night to study. Even though he is over 70 years old, he is still working so hard. He really cares about the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

  The entrance music of the second country is also very sporty, which is the heroic testimony from Monster Hunter.

The moment this music played, at least one-fifth of the audience in the venue gave a very violent response.

Many people in the venue are video game players, or it can be said that video games have penetrated into millions of households. Especially this time the Olympic Games uses popular culture such as video games and animation as a publicity stunt, which attracts the attention of these people even more. .

 At the venue, animation and game enthusiasts will account for at least two-fifths of the attendees.

 The moment the Hero's Proof sounded, many players immediately remembered the unbearable memories.

 At first, they were a group of hunters who were chased and beaten by monsters.

They were confused and didn't know how to face the huge and very oppressive monster.

Even a seemingly simple Boar King is terrifying.

 But they are very patient.

 If you fail once, try again.

 If you fail twice, try it a third time.

 Monster Hunter has raised the threshold for many players to compete with difficult games.

 Gradually, players began to enjoy the fun brought by this difficult game.

 It is indeed very depressing when oppressed. Facing a powerful monster that cannot be defeated will be very frustrating.

 But after repeated failures and finally defeating this huge monster, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction it brings is unparalleled.

 Only players who have experienced it personally can feel the fun.

 This kind of thing is incomprehensible to others.

 Can’t you relate? Then just play around and watch, and you will understand it yourself.

At the scene, many players reacted violently, and many viewers who also watched the live broadcast reacted violently.

 They don’t have the opportunity to watch the Olympics live, so it’s okay to watch the live broadcast.

However, when they saw many familiar BGMs playing at the beginning, they felt a little regretful.

If they had bought the tickets at that time, it would have been quite cool to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games live.

ˆThe presence of video games and animation in the Olympic Games is already a symbol in itself.

  Symbolizes that society has completely recognized this kind of popular culture and no longer regards it as a marginal sub-culture industry.

 Games and animation will be cultural industries as famous as film and television.

 Many practitioners were moved to tears when they saw this scene.

However, there are also some people who will be dismissive, even... resentful.

This resentful man was staring gloomily at the TV. Only the TV was on in the whole room. Wine bottles were scattered around, and the space was filled with an unpleasant smell.

“That guy will definitely kick out all cultural industries other than games from the opening and closing ceremonies. Absolutely. I have warned the people on the industry committee, but they didn’t listen.”

This man was cursing, and at the same time he expressed his judgment very firmly.

  He had a previous identity as one of the three directors of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

At that time, his status was still quite high, and he was backed by plutocratic capital, which made him even more unscrupulous.

 Later, he followed some people and started doing things to enrich their own pockets.

This is actually quite normal, at least in his opinion.

Who wouldn’t line their own pockets?

 Everyone can do it, and he doesn’t believe that no one can’t.

 He is just following the mainstream of society.

 And as far as he knows, there are many people in the Japanese Olympic Preparatory Committee who are more arrogant than him.

His actions can only be regarded as a small fuss.

However, he didn't expect that he would meet with such a strange company as Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This company forcefully intervened in the preparation and production of the opening and closing ceremonies, leaving their directors in charge of the overall situation.

Moreover, this person actually succeeded. It is really unimaginable. Why do the people behind the scenes want to make concessions?

He didn't know the entanglement of interests behind it. He only knew that he was kicked out of the game very simply.

 Later on, he was quickly abandoned by the chaebol capital behind him. Even though he had a chaebol relative as a backer, he was still kicked out.

 He fell from being a high-ranking person to the world of mortals all of a sudden.

Furthermore, not only was he kicked out of the Olympic preparations, but his subsequent attempts to return to his old profession of producing cartoons were boycotted by the industry.

 A good friend with whom he has a good relationship told him that Youxing Electronic Entertainment did this.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment has also established a certain position in the animation industry, because now Youxing Electronic Entertainment is quite willing to spend money to make animations, which gives directors a lot of room to play. As a result, many animation industry companies like Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

And Zhu Yusing is boycotting this director. Even without Zhu Yusing's permission, these production companies simply cut off contact with him, causing him to lose his original job.

　　“See, it’s still music from a video game. This guy’s selfishness is really too serious!”

  The third country is on the scene, and the BGM that appears is the signature music from Street Fighter. Players who like Street Fighter are excited.

The director is even more certain that this opening ceremony will be a one-man show for video games. All animation and traditional Japanese culture will be thrown away, making video games the only protagonist and the Olympic Games becoming a propaganda machine for video games.

Seeing this, the director firmly believed that Youxing Electronic Entertainment must have also collected huge profits.

Every piece of music is owned by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, so the licensing fee is definitely not a small amount.

˜Plus Youxing Electronic Entertainment has a dominant position, so it’s not up to them to decide how much the price will be?

Kicking yourself out of the opening and closing ceremony director group is just a way of letting a bigger boss dominate the publicity mouthpiece.

This also made the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes even worse.

He couldn't help it anymore, so he directly picked up the phone next to him and dialed a number.

“Hello, are you the self-examination department of the Olympic Games Preparatory Committee? I am **, and I want to report it!”

“You asked me what to report? I want to report Yuxing Electronic Entertainment to enrich their own pockets. They included too many private goods from their video game industry in the opening ceremony, which is far from the original fairness and justice of the Olympic Games. I want to report them…”

Hunting.

There was a sound of hanging up on the phone.

The director’s expression was frozen.

  Crash.

"asshole!"

 His expression was a little ferocious.

 The person on the other end of the phone hung up with a strange expression.

 “Hello, who’s calling?”

Beside him are members of the Olympic Preparatory Committee with the same status.

“A guy reported that Youxing Electronic Entertainment was enriching himself, saying that it collected huge music licensing fees through the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games...”

Everyone who heard it looked at the person holding the phone, and then there were question marks on their foreheads.

  ? ? ?

 “Is this person a fool?”

The person who answered the phone shrugged: "Yeah, he must be a fool."

Someone laughed out loud: "Don't he read the news and newspapers? News and newspapers have been reporting on the opening and closing ceremonies for I don't know how long."

“Who knows, maybe he is a decadent guy who only knows how to complain about others.”

The news and newspaper content they are talking about is an interview news from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

This interview news focused on the discussion of the benefits that Youxing Electronic Entertainment may obtain from the Olympic Games.

 There are also some self-examination agencies throughout the Olympic Preparatory Committee.

They will publicly say that they are reviewing the use of Olympic funds, but in fact the existence of this institution has almost no meaning.

  Their own positions are not as high as those who occupy the mouthpiece position, so they are just a decoration at best.

However, they have also made some achievements, an achievement that can be appreciated by the people.

 That is, they disclosed in detail the use of funds for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

 It can range from the cost of a large-scale scene mechanical prop to the cost of not missing a single screw.

And there are also details on the licensing fees for the music, film and television images, game images and graphics of the opening and closing ceremonies.

 Many of them are licensing fees for purchasing animation and Japanese traditional culture.

 But in the list behind these licensing fees, there are a lot of very eye-catching numbers.

 Average video game music licensing fee: $100

 Average licensing fee for video game characters: US$100

 In Japan, copyright is taken very seriously.

Even if a commoner wants to sing a song in a Japanese karaoke hall, he needs to pay a copyright fee for the song.

This kind of thing can add up to a lot, which will make singers and other people in the cultural and entertainment industry make a lot of money.

ˆVideo game music is also a major source of revenue for many copyrights.

ˆVideo games have produced too many classic BGMs, and every piece of music can have a social impact around the world.

 This licensing fee is even more difficult to estimate.

If music is played live at the level of the Olympics, the licensing fee for a song is not an exaggeration, ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

　　Some people have previously estimated that the licensing value of Super Mario music should exceed 100,000 US dollars.

 However, on the bill for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, there was an eye-catching amount of one hundred dollars.

Each song is charged a nominal fee of one hundred dollars.

Each character is also charged a nominal fee of one hundred dollars.

　　It is not 0 because that would be very sorry for the creator himself.

 At the same time, Zhu Youxing’s reputation is indeed great.

 The BGM and images of many games are not entirely from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

There are also game character images and music from Brown Entertainment, Surui Electronics and even Mickford's Family.

Faced with the Olympics, Mickford didn’t care about anything with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Because this is a matter where profit outweighs hatred, Myron Keys was very generous and agreed to allow Youxing Electronic Entertainment to license them to produce the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games for a price of one hundred dollars per song and image. The meaning of world unity.

There are also many images of small and medium-sized game companies from all over the world, and each license price is one hundred dollars.

 The total licensing fees related to these video games do not exceed US$100,000.

 It can be regarded as the most economical place.

 If we had to be more serious, this amount of money might be multiplied by ten times or a hundred times. It is not an exaggeration.

 At that time, it will be one billion yen to cover the bottom line.

 But now it only costs tens of millions of yen, which is almost the basic annual salary of a Japanese white-collar worker.

At the beginning of this data disclosure, some people questioned the authenticity of the data.

However, all stakeholders soon issued relevant announcements, confirming that the licensing fee for music and images related to video games is indeed only one hundred US dollars each.

 Children are not deceived.

Then many people fell silent, and then there was a lot of praise on the Internet.

 Video game players are even more happy.

 Because they have truly experienced the atmosphere of players all over the world being one family from this.

 Just like what Zhuyouxing once promised.

He firmly believes that video games in this world have a common language, that players all over the world are one family, and everyone can get fun from video games.

 With the good example of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, the public's opposition to the preparations for the Olympic Games has also been reduced a lot, which has allowed the Japanese government to carry out its ideological work better and reduced a lot of pressure on the Japanese government.

The Japanese government in turn wants to express its gratitude to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Without Youxing Electronic Entertainment, troubles would definitely be inevitable. Youxing Electronic Entertainment can solve their problems.

  When we look back, we will give Youxing Electronic Entertainment more policy inclinations.

  In any case, these preferential policies are not paid out of their own hands, and they don’t feel bad about using them.

　　No one would question the preferential treatment given to Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

As for Youxing Electronic Entertainment themselves, their original intention was simply to look down on the licensing fee for the opening and closing ceremonies.

How much can you earn from this? A few million or tens of millions of dollars at most.

They can make more than this by just holding a game sale. Using the Olympics to make money is more valuable than using the Olympics to make money.

 So, the person who answered the phone felt that the guy who called to report was a fool.

 Don’t you watch the news at all?

 This is all obvious on the Internet. He is obviously a guy who has no interest in world affairs. This kind of guy will be eliminated by the world sooner or later.

The director smashed the bottle angrily. He firmly believed that Youxing Electronic Entertainment was definitely not that generous, but he had no way to explain.

 While he was smashing the wine bottle, a piece of music that he was very familiar with appeared behind him.

That was the music of a classic animated movie he once watched as a child.

 As the music sounds, it is the entrance music for a country to enter the venue.

 The movements of his hands stopped in mid-air, and he stared blankly at the TV screen.

 Muttered to himself: How is it possible?
