Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

  Chapter 1159 Opening Ceremony

   "It's started, it's three minutes to seven o'clock, and the countdown has begun!"

  The man and the child happily watched the countdown.

  This countdown is not a simple countdown of numbers. During the countdown, there are also screen clips appearing one by one.

  These screen clips are the development history of Japan and the Olympic Games, as well as various current popular elements.

  Japanese traditional culture, animation, and video games, each one is something that Japanese people love and are confident about.

  Especially video games, which can earn more than 100 billion dollars overseas.

   "Dad! It's a Pokémon!"

   "Yeah, I saw it, and Dragon Quest!"

   "Huh? What character is this? I haven't seen it before."

   "Here, this is the anime image drawn by Itakura-sensei for all the countries participating in the Olympics. Every country has its own unique animation image. Isn't it pretty cool?"

   "It's really handsome, Dad, can I have the peripherals of these images?"

   "Hmm... I'll look back to see if there are any for sale, and I should be able to find them by searching on the Internet."

  During the three-minute countdown, various clips were mixed and edited.

  People at the scene can also watch the mixed clips of the Olympic Games through the large screen suspended above the sports field.

  The quality of this mixed clip is quite high, obviously from the hands of a master editor.

   It was made by the editor of the famous director Sayuki Ono. For this reason, the editor did not know how many brain cells were consumed to produce these contents.

  If he is asked to do similar content again, he will definitely scold his mother.

   Sayuki Ono also begged the editor to make this mixed-cut video.

   And the effect of this is really good.

  This is the history of the development of the Olympic Games, as well as the history of the development of Japanese culture, and it is also a close-up of many participating countries.

  Every country is drawn by Itakura, a well-known painter in the world.

  This Itakura Takeyusei understands that his status is roughly equivalent to Hayao Miyazaki in his previous life. He is good at hand-painting, but he may have spent a lot of money to describe the details of each picture so richly.

  Of course, this part is paid by the Japanese government, so Zhu Youxing doesn’t need to worry about anything.

  The only thing Zhu Youxing can think of is that these pictures have a feeling that Japan’s economy took off in the past.

  I think back then, in Japan in the 1980s, the luxury of money and money not only made the Japanese crazy, but also made many industries go crazy along with it.

   Among them, the animation industry is one of the representatives of madness.

  People in that era could spend a huge amount of money to make a cartoon, the details of which are drawn even in modern times are jaw-dropping.

  People of later generations commented that only the era of luxury and money could make such cartoons.

  The cartoons in the previous life were Cowboy Bebop, Akira, and City Hunter.

  Each cartoon has its own style and characteristics, and at the same time, the details of each frame are so explosive.

   Later, it was almost impossible to reproduce this kind of cartoon, because the cost could not come down at all.

   Unless someone as rich and powerful as Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

  The Cyberpunk Edgewalker cartoon not long ago was praised by many industry insiders as the best cartoon after the Japanese bubble burst.

If possible, Zhu Yuxing hopes that there will be more cartoons like this in this world. Of course, he knows that this is just his own imagination. Unless he plans to enter the animation industry, other companies will not have the courage to make this kind of cartoons. of.

   "It's so beautiful, I haven't seen Mr. Itakura make such an excellent cartoon for a long time."

  Besides, Ueto Hayakawa showed nostalgic expression.

   Ueto Hayakawa also experienced the glorious era of the animation industry. At that time, he happened to be regarded as a younger generation, and it was the time when he was obsessed with animation and pop culture.

   Later, cartoons became more and more bad and capitalized, so he didn't like them anymore.

   "Why don't you ask Itakura-sensei to make a Sun Knight cartoon? Your Sun Knight's IP value is still very high, and Itakura-sensei should be happy to spend a little more money."

   "Hmm... That's a good suggestion, I can study it later." Ueto Hayakawa nodded.

  The flag-raising ceremony began. First, the flag of the host country Japan was raised, followed by the flag of the Olympic Games, and then the flag of each participating country.

   Immediately after that is the admission ceremony of the participating countries.

  The first one to enter the stadium was of course the Japanese national team. The moment the Japanese national team entered, what came to mind was the very familiar melody.

   That is the most classic BGM from Dragon Quest.

   This music is the role-playing enlightenment of many gamers.

  Dragon Quest is also a generational memory of many people in their 30s and 40s.

  The moment the melody sounded, the Japanese national team entered the venue with their heads held high. Each of them followed the melody, and the morale of the entire team seemed to have risen several levels.

   In front of the TV, some people who became fathers and mothers even shed tears of emotion.

  Because they recalled how moved they were when they saw video games when they were young and as children.

"This song is really a good song, Zhuyou, how did you make up this song at the beginning? I have always been a little confused, obviously you don't look like a person who is good at this kind of music. "

   Ueto Hayakawa misses this melody very much.

   At that time, Su Rui Electronics was shocked by the sudden explosion of video games.

  The then president Kentaro Hayakawa decisively established a new department at that time: the video game business department.

   And then that's where Suri Electronics' dream started.

   Among them, Dragon Quest is one of the learning objects of Surui Electronics.

  Mario is more a game for children. Adults will also be interested in this game, but they will definitely not stick to it for too long.

  However, role-playing games such as Dragon Quest are different. With the concept of upgrading, Dragon Quest with the concept of equipment collection and growth allows adults to have the pleasure of harvesting.

   Later, according to statistics, more than half of the early million sales of Dragon Quest were purchased by adults.

   Later, when the third part of Dragon Quest was released, the proportion of adults further expanded. The number of players who played Dragon Quest 3 between the ages of 20 and 40 was twice that of players of other age groups.

  Take Yusei shrugged at Ueto Hayakawa’s question and said, “It was the time when my inspiration exploded the most. I still remember that I made five or six games in a month, and every time I think about it, it’s pretty amazing.”

  At this time, Zhu Youxing doesn't need to be modest.

  The more humble you are at this time, the easier it is to be self-defeating, and you just confess that you are a genius, and you guys just look up to me, and there is no need to talk nonsense.

Ueto Hayakawa nodded: "Yeah, you were really a bit ruthless at that time, supporting all the content of a game console by yourself, we at Su Rui Electronics had formed a team of dozens of people working day and night. It’s incomprehensible to make a **** game and you can make several of them by yourself.”
