Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 96 I have principles

Chapter 96 I have principles

 The young man was invited into Zhu Youxing's office with permission. He was very excited.

This is the first time to get up close and personal with the producers who create countless high-quality games.

 This is similar to ordinary people chasing stars.

“Hello, President Takeyu, my name is Kazuo Murakami, I’m really glad to meet you.”

　Murakami Kazuo’s eyes were shining.

At this time, Takeyusei was holding a bunch of information that Murakami Kazuo had brought over, pretending to study it carefully.

 In fact, he already knew almost everything about this forum before.

When Kazuo Murakami took the initiative to speak, Takeyusei put down the information and looked at the child in front of him with a smile.

“Sit down, don’t be formal, just think of me as a big brother, not a company president.”

 “Okay!” Kazuo Murakami sat down opposite Takeyusei honestly, with admiration in his eyes.

“I’ve probably read your information. It seems that you want to be eligible to experience the game in advance?”

"Yes, now I have many fans. If I can experience the complete game in advance, it will be easier to guide the game direction to the players who support me. I think this will be a very helpful method for the game industry. , just like film critics and drama critics, games also need sufficiently professional evaluators, so that the game industry will develop more healthily."

Murakami Kazuo talked about his content in a clear and logical manner.

Most of them were taught to him by Zhu Youxing on the Internet using the trumpet.

But Zhu Youxing, the person who controls the overall situation, is still acting decently.

“This is indeed a good publicity channel. I am very interested, but I see that your information says that you must be absolutely neutral. You will treat any game fairly?”

“Yes, this is my principle.” Kazuo Murakami nodded.

Zhu Youxing shook his head: "But if we make a bad game, and then we give it to you in advance, and you spray it all over your body, causing our sales to decrease, then wouldn't our purpose of publicity be completely useless? On the contrary, there will be backlash Effective? Then why should I ask you for publicity?"

Murakami Kazuo said seriously: "No, President Takeyu, you may have misunderstood. My original intention is to hope that the entire game industry will develop healthily."

“The game industry needs a group of people who are neutral enough. They do not serve a certain game manufacturer, but serve the better development of the game industry and serve all players. After all, players are the foundation.”

"If bad games become popular due to collecting black money, I think the game industry will be destroyed sooner or later. I like video games and I don't want such an interesting thing to be destroyed. I think, President Zhuyou, you are the person who created the game industry. You should have the same idea as me, right? Otherwise, I think with the current scale of your Famicom, you can make more money at a lower cost, but then the game industry will be ruined."

Zhu Youxing smiled: "The ideas you mentioned are very novel, but I don't think you, a child, can think of so many things. There should be someone behind you teaching you this, right?"

Kazuo Murakami shook his head: "It is indeed what you think, President Takeyu. Someone taught me this. It's just that he doesn't like to stand in front of the stage. He always claims to be a pure gamer. He only plays games and doesn't want to Being involved in this kind of thing, therefore, I have full authority to represent him.”

Takeyusei took a deep look at Kazuo Murakami, and then said: "As you said, I really hope that the game industry can continue to prosper. At least what you said has touched my heart, but I still love you With all the reservations I said, we won’t make bad games anyway, so if you just want to be able to play some games early, that’s fine.”

　Murakami Kazuo was overjoyed.

Have you successfully persuaded the president?

 He thought it would be difficult.

 “But…” Zhu Youxing spoke again.

Murakami Kazuo's heart skipped a beat. Are there any additional strict requirements?

  If it is a request that touches the bottom line, he must grit his teeth and refuse, even if he may lose the qualification to play in advance. This is what Mr. Nintendo taught him, and he also thinks it is correct.

"However, remember your words and remain absolutely neutral. I hope you can do what you say. Also, it's okay to play in advance. I hope the review is a review, but absolutely no spoilers. You can comment on the gameplay and you can comment. The general content of the game, but the only thing is that it must not be spoiled. You should understand that this is as abominable as watching a TV show."

"I can completely guarantee this!" Kazuo Murakami could no longer conceal his joy at this time.

Was it originally just a request for confidentiality? That's absolutely fine. I will be as cautious as possible when reviewing before it is released, and I won't casually reveal things that I shouldn't say.

Furthermore, even if Zhu Youxing didn't say anything, he would still stick to his neutrality, and even a huge amount of money would not make him sway.

 This is his belief and persistence in video games.

Of course, Zhu Youxing also instilled this aspect into him on the Internet at the beginning.

Since Zhu Youxing had decided to cooperate with him from the beginning, the conversation just now was more like a test for him to see if the child would waver. At least there seems to be no such sign now.

 However, people will always change, and no one can say what the future will be like. For the time being, it’s better to ensure the present.

“I happen to have a game on hand that is about to be released, so I can review it for you in advance.”

"Is it Dragon Quest 3?" Kazuo Murakami leaned forward slightly.

He has watched the trailer of Dragon Quest 3 several times on the Internet. He is already excited about the plot, story and gameplay, and he can't wait to play it now.

“Dragon Quest? No, no, no, this is not enough. There is no limit to playing it in advance. Dragon Quest is our highlight. If you want to experience it in advance, you need to wait at least ten days after its release.”

Murakami Kazuo was slightly disappointed after hearing this. He thought he could play in advance.

 There is still one month left before the official release, and he feels like his days are like a year, and he really wants to play it as soon as possible.

 I will die without playing the latest Dragon Quest. This is probably the inner thought of many loyal Dragon Quest players now.

“So, President Zhuyou, what game are you going to let me review in advance?”

"This game can be regarded as an intermediate pastime game. It's called Pac-Man. It will be released in the next few days. There is no plot in this game. It is just pure entertainment. You can comment as much as you like. You can say whether it is fun or not. We don't Will stop it."

　　Unexpectedly, there would be an unexpected surprise today, and Murakami Kazuo was very happy.

Even if it’s not Dragon Quest 3, it’s still worth it.

“Okay, I will review it well and try to publish an article about this game on the forum as soon as possible.”

Kazuo Murakami believed that this should be a test for himself by President Takeyu to see if he could be qualified to review the game. He had already made up his mind to complete this first time of his own. Advance game review.

"Okay, later the legal department will draft a confidentiality contract. The conditions of this confidentiality contract are very strict. Even your closest people cannot let them play casually, because before the game is officially released, the game cartridge still belongs to us at Yuxing If you use the property of electronic entertainment for people other than you to play without permission, even if you are a child, you will still be sued."

"I understand, even if it is my father, I will never show it to him."

Zhu Youxing nodded, and then suddenly remembered something. He said: "By the way, I remember that there was an article reviewing Sun Knight of Surui Electronics in your information."

“Yes, that game is the only fun game on the PN console.” Kazuo Murakami nodded.

 Does President Zhuyou have any objections to this?

"I noticed that the article you reviewed introduced that this game has been developed for at least three months. This seems to be a relatively secret information now. You seem to have some channels to learn these secret information. Could it be that it is also a behind-the-scenes teaching? Did your man tell you that?”

"This... is not." Kazuo Murakami shook his head, "Actually... it's my father. My father is an employee of Surui Electronics. Now his job is actually a game developer there .”

Oh haha, there is an unexpected gain.

 No wonder this kid knows a lot about video games. His father is currently doing this job. Under the influence, he will naturally be exposed to more game-related information.

“President Zhuyou, do you think my father’s identity will be more sensitive?”

Murakami Kazuo felt a little regretful after confessing.

 If you tell the truth yourself, what if Zhu Youxing is dissatisfied with this sensitive identity? It would feel very inappropriate for a child of a Suri Electronics employee to approach Youxing Electronic Entertainment to discuss cooperation.

"Sensitive? That's not the case. I don't have that much concern. But in this case, you'd better abide by the contract more strictly. Under the confidentiality contract, you must not bring the game card to any unauthorized person for inspection and review before it is officially released. It’s fun, do you understand?”

 “Hmm, I understand.”

“Okay, then you wait for a while. After the legal department drafts a confidentiality contract, you can leave with the test game cartridge. How many people are you testing now?”

“Right now, there are only two people, one is the person behind the scenes, and the other is myself. Among them, I will be mainly responsible for writing game review articles.”

"Okay, you must also be strict with the other person and not leak the secret casually, otherwise our legal department will not be polite."

Murakami Kazuo reassured him again, and then he suddenly looked shy.

“Well, President Zhuyou, I have another request. I don’t know if you will agree to it.”

"you say."

 “Can we take a photo together?”

At this time, Kazuo Murakami took out a camera from his bag and looked at Takeyusei expectantly.

“Also, if possible, I would like to get your signature. Would you mind?”

 Since we are so close to our idol, it would be a shame if we didn’t take a photo together.

 Zhuyu Xingyile: "Okay, this is no problem."
