Game Development Giant

Ranzi, I just managed to borrow my brother's clanned from him. You can go play with me on the weekends!

real!

Kawasaki Ichiro's goddess screamed in surprise after hearing her partner's words. Although Kawasaki Ichiro was only hanging far behind them, he could still tell from the other party's tone and movements that she was worried about this. My love for this game is definitely not an act.

This game is so fun. I didn't finish it at my friend's house last time. Moreover, the cartridge is too expensive and cannot be bought near my home. If I want to buy it, I need to go to Akihabara, but Akihabara is so far away. I I don’t dare to go there myself…”

Noe Renko's somewhat depressed words floated intermittently into Kawasaki Ichiro's ears.

Vaguely, Kawasaki Ichiro seemed to hear this sentence again, and he was suddenly shocked. He really didn't expect that his hobbies were so different from those of his goddess. He just despised this boring game in his heart. I looked aside and heard that my goddess was actually a fan of this game, and she especially wanted to buy a cassette. \u003ced game cassette as a gift to the goddess, maybe she will be favored by the goddess, at least she won't be as indifferent as she is now, but having said that, she has very little contact with Ranko, it seems that she is in the same class this semester Since then, I have said something to her.

There is a fork in the road ahead. He has to go straight ahead, but Lanzi has to turn to the right.

Kawasaki Ichiro, whose mind had been wandering around all these messy things, unknowingly separated himself from his goddess and didn't pay attention. After that, he didn't listen carefully to what the other party was saying. Now in his mind He kept thinking about what the goddess just said about going to Akihabara to buy clanned, and he couldn't make up his mind whether to go and buy it.

It is not unaffordable to buy, although the second-hand price is very high now. It is also difficult to find, and it may not be easy to find in Akihabara, but if I buy this for the goddess, then my plan to buy Pokemon will be impossible. After all, I don't have that much money, so I think If he wanted his family to buy it, Kawasaki Ichiro shook his head, that was impossible.

He returned home while thinking about whether to buy it or not.

After eating, I was still thinking about this issue in my mind. However, he looked at the time and saw that the first episode of Pokemon was about to be played. He quickly walked to the living room, crossed his legs on the tatami, and turned on Fuji TV.

His parents are not at home. They are busy at work and will not come back until very late.

The only way Kawasaki Ichiro usually releases his loneliness is to watch cartoons and play games. Finally, as the time reaches half past seven. The title of Pokemon finally appeared on the TV screen. He had heard this song in the flagship store of Mars Entertainment. It was indeed very nice, and he also liked the style of painting in it. And there are so many cute things called Pokemon.

After the theme song was sung, the plot officially began.

Twenty minutes later.

Kawasaki Ichiro breathed out, his eyes still reluctant to leave, looking at the TV screen where the ending song was already playing. He didn't arrive first. This cartoon is really beautiful!

It is completely different from the Fist of the North Star he liked to watch before, and it is mentioned in it. The kind of Pokemon that can be fought, Pokemon trainers, go out on adventures to collect different Pokemon, and fight with other trainers...

These settings were truly imprinted deep into his heart.

At this time, he suddenly thought, wouldn't the Pokemon that will be released on Christmas be exactly the same as the game in the cartoon? Can these amazing Pokemon be collected? Thinking about it made me feel emotional. As he thought about it, Ichiro Kawasaki's blood began to boil unconsciously. He suddenly felt that this was the game he wanted to play the most, to travel around the world, tame those rare Pokemon, and then fight against his enemies. , become the top Pokemon trainer. The matter of \u003cbed\u003e has long been forgotten by him. What kind of goddess is not as attractive to me as Pocket Monsters!

Situations like this happen in many places in Japan.

Many children who have watched Fuji TV's Pokemon intentionally or unintentionally are full of curiosity about this new world. Among them, many players and fans of Mars Entertainment are also looking at the 25th , the chief executive who was officially released on Christmas Day was full of curiosity. What kind of game it was, became the biggest question in their hearts.

the next day.

Minister, our ratings have reached 11 percent! This is a number we have never reached before!

After the second episode of Pocket Monsters was played, a young staff member wearing glasses rushed to the studio excitedly. After resisting the pressure before, Zhu Zhu signed the Pocket Monsters produced by Mars Entertainment. The head of the animation department who had the right to premiere the animation finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he no longer has to bear so much pressure.

The success of this cartoon also proves in my eyes that a sensible position may not be far away from me.

As if he had thought of something, the somewhat pudgy director of Fuji TV quickly gave his instructions to his subordinates: Contact Mars Entertainment immediately. We hope to sign the second round of premiere rights immediately and tell them that money is not question.

But now the phone number of the external relations department of Mars Entertainment Japan Branch cannot be reached at all.

Because it was not just a TV station from Fuji that wanted to get the rights to rebroadcast Pokemon, and Fuji did not sign a priority agreement with Mars Entertainment at the time. This was naturally due to internal pressure at the time.

Not only Japan's five major TV stations, but also many small TV stations want to get it.

However, Tamahide Yoshiro had already received instructions from Jester before, and no decision had been made before the game was released. If the game was to be launched, the news would naturally come.

Therefore, Tamahide Yoshiro was perfunctory about the individuals, companies, or TV stations he came to inquire about.

However, when he received a call from Fuji TV, his expression changed. Fuji TV was not fundamentally different from the previous TV stations that called to inquire. They also came to inquire about the rights to rebroadcast Pokemon. However, other TV stations either had minister-level figures personally calling, and Activision called to inquire about some matters. However, the person Fuji TV asked about was just an assistant to the minister.

This is obviously representative of the strict hierarchical Japanese society. At Fuji TV, especially the head of the animation department who originally decided to take the first broadcast rights of Pokemon did not take Mars Entertainment seriously. It is not It is said that the scale of Mars Entertainment is not big enough, but in terms of the animation industry, Mars Entertainment is just a junior, and the other party is one of the five major TV stations in Japan. Although Pokemon has achieved incredible success, this is not the game industry, but It's the animation industry.

However, Tamahide Yoshiro has never placed himself above a junior.

Mars Entertainment is a well-known company in the world. Even if it is a Japanese branch, it cannot be underestimated by Fuji TV. Moreover, before this, in order to promote Pokemon, he received difficulties from Fuji TV, which was difficult for him. It was unforgettable. Ever since he became the president of the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment, he had never experienced this feeling of being ignored again.

Even the director of Fuji TV who agreed to sign the first broadcast rights of Pokemon was just asking for advice on his own promotion path. He may not take it too seriously, as you can tell from the price he gave. , which is basically the lowest price in the industry. For a cartoon of the level and investment of Pokemon, such a price is basically almost an insult.

Therefore, Tamahide Yoshiro does not feel the slightest gratitude to Fuji TV. In his opinion, the two parties will only have a temporary cooperative relationship in the future.

Of course, Pokemon is still being played, and it has only been played for two episodes. It would be inappropriate to reject the opponent directly now. Therefore, Tamahide Yoshiro suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and his face turned gloomy. He relaxed, although the other party couldn't see his expression through the phone, he smiled, pretended to be sorry, and said: It's not that I don't want to agree, but it's only our ****oss who can do this. Only I can make the decision, I can't make the decision myself. As for the second round of broadcast rights, I still need to ask **OSS before I can decide.

The other party didn't doubt that he was there, and after a few random words, he hung up the phone.

Of course Tamahide Yoshiro is talking nonsense. In fact, although Jester attaches great importance to this cartoon, he does not pay too much attention to it. He will not focus his energy on this aspect during this period of time. He just asked, After the animation is finished, all he needs to do is give him a copy of the video, and he has already given full decision-making power in Japan to Tamahide Yoshiro.

And he doesn't need to worry about it in the United States. Illusion Studio, which has expertise in this area, will naturally be fully responsible for testing.

On the third day, the ratings of Pokemon reached 15%, ranking first among all TV programs during the same period! (To be continued...)
