Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 494 Movie Strategy

  493

   Finishing with the Final Fantasy VII movie version is a very good strategy.

  The enthusiasm of the players has been mobilized again.

   Players who were originally reluctant to give up their emotions no longer have any regrets.

   In this state, the carnival officially closed.

   And the future preview of the story of the Advent Child of Final Fantasy 7 will also be played in the next period of time, which will give players an appetite.

The development of    Monster Hunter is now more than halfway through, but it will take another half a year for the finished product to be released. This time, the numerical development is more stringent than before.

   But the production efficiency of Final Fantasy 7's animated film can be faster.

   This is also part of Take Yusei's vision.

   In his vision, he is going to try to promote it on the cinema first, and then sell it as a carrier of the movie through his own handheld cassette.

  Take Yusei remembers that in his previous life, Final Fantasy 7 Advent Son had launched a mini-disc version for PSP, and the sales were very good, because the animation effects of this movie were top-level at the time, and it was also an audio-visual enjoyment for players.

  The CG of traditional games is usually only a few minutes, but this time it is directly the length of a movie, there is really nothing more exciting than this.

  If you can take the opportunity to make more people recognize the carrier form like cassette, then this is a success.

   However, Zhu Yuxing does not intend to give up the CD-ROM format. The CD-ROM is the most traditional carrier of movies.

   But it will definitely not sell the Blu-ray disc of Surui Electronics, but another CD standard used by the GS1 mainframe, which can also bring some influence to Surui Electronics.

   Even if optical discs can continue to occupy the mainstream in the future, it must not allow Suri Electronics to dominate.

  When the carnival was completely over, the average number of visitors to the three-day carnival stabilized at 71,000, and the e-sports arena next door also contributed an average of more than 40,000 visitors.

   This is a small miracle for a fledgling industry.

   However, Take Yusei felt that this was not enough.

   After the rise of the Internet in later generations, the number of live broadcast viewers can easily break the scale of 100 million, which is even more fierce than the traditional TV station that can win 20 to 30% of the country's viewership.

   How many TVs can Japan have in a country? Fifty million? Sixty million?

   Even if everyone turns on the TV to watch game-related programs at the same time, it is only tens of millions.

   But later, the Internet can have a scale of hundreds of millions, and this is the real future.

   Hayakawa Shito was very emotional after watching the live broadcast, saying that it is false to say that he is not envious.

  I really didn’t expect that the current Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has grown to such a degree.

   This is only a ten-year-old company, which is really young compared to countless companies.

   Dudu.

   At this moment, Hayakawa Ueto's phone rang, he picked it up and saw that it was Nagao Yu of the YOO portal.

   "Hey, Hayakawa-san, Youxing Electronic Entertainment's carnival is over. Next, we should be able to vigorously promote our products."

   Hayakawa Zhito nodded: "Well, I have this idea too, but I am very puzzled why Zhu Yuxing will announce an animated movie at the end. This seems to be the key promotion project of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment."

"Isn't it hard to guess?" Nagao Yu replied very casually, "Obviously, the growth point of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has begun to slow down, this guy must want to use other methods to attract more users. Pay attention to them, but to be honest, if it is really compared to the user base, we are not weaker than him at all, and now my YOO portal has a large number of users, and there are more than 70 million registered users at home and abroad."

   When talking about this, Nagao Rain inevitably showed a proud tone.

   There are still very few portals of his size in the whole world now. It may be a bit exaggerated to count on one finger, but it can definitely be regarded as the top 20 big websites.

   It is precisely because of such a huge number of users that he can attract so much investment.

   Hayakawa Ukito didn't seem to have much problem after listening to it, but there was still something wrong in his heart, and he always felt that it wasn't that simple.

   But now he really can't imagine how much influence a movie can have.

   Even the Final Fantasy series, arguably the best role-playing game, probably won't attract many real players.

Nagao Yu seemed to feel Hayakawa Ukito's concern, and he immediately had an idea: "Actually, if you are very worried that the movie released by Takeyusei will bring some unexpected situations, I have a good suggestion for you. ."

   "Advice? What advice?"

   "That is to take advantage of your business."

"Advantage…"

   Hayakawa Ukito was stunned for a while, and then he seemed to have remembered something, and immediately showed a stunned look.

   "You mean that? It seems that this is indeed a good method, which can bring certain obstacles to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and even make the film a direct failure."

Nagao Yu sneered and said: "Hey, looking at the special effects of the movie in the live broadcast, I am afraid it is the same special effects movie with a scale of over 100 million. This Zhuyouxing really has deep pockets, and if such a If the movie hits the street, he will probably be very distressed."

   Hayakawa Zhiren nodded, and he said impatiently: "I'll contact the US side now to get this matter over as soon as possible. By the way, how is the progress of various games in your game studio?"

Nagao Yu said very happily: "There are already several studios whose game development has come to an end, and they can all be released within the estimated time. Don't worry, I will definitely supply you with ammunition, and I will never let you. The game console is running out of games!"

   Now Surui Electronics and YOO are in partnership.

   In addition, YOO has mastered more than ten game development studios, large and small, many of which are third-party game development studios that used to be well-known in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   The unified income of these studios has greatly increased his strength, and it has also increased Hayakawa Ueto a lot of confidence.

   "That's the best, then we can release the game at our own pace. It all depends on the quality of the game."

   "You can rest assured." Nagao Yu repeatedly assured Hayakawa Ukito, and then hung up the phone.

   On the side of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, although the carnival has ended, the work has not slackened in the slightest.

  Because there are a lot of cakes drawn at the carnival.

  Although most of them are familiar games from the memory of Zhu Yuxing's previous life, unless there are some bugs in the development program that hinder the development process, other aspects will not hinder the pace of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  The carnival just ended, and Suri Electronics started to bombard all kinds of advertisements like crazy.

   One after another game trailers with cool pictures began to spread on the Internet and in the streets, covering almost all types. This is obviously to be compared with Zhu Yuxing.

But if Suri Electronics was going to use a large-scale offensive against itself a long time ago, Zhuyouxing really had nothing to do, because his appeal was definitely not strong at that time, unless he kept developing a lot of red and white machines. The era or the game of the SFC era.

   The games of these two eras are relatively easy to develop, and they are much simpler to develop than the 3D large-scale production games of later generations.

   Otherwise, there is really no good way to deal with Suri Electronics.

   But now, the popularity of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has risen. In addition to the first-party works, there are also a group of young brothers who are quite capable. Even if a small part is forcibly acquired, the overall strength of his side is not bad at all.

   So the resistance can still be endured.

  During this period, almost every month, two video games with good quality were born, and they were all games developed by people in this world to take the lead. The two sides fought each other in this regard.

  Suri Electronics' game screen quality is better, because they have more advanced processor chips, which can make the game screen run better, whether it is a handheld or a home computer, it has a certain upper hand.

   Under the visual spectacle, it can indeed attract a lot of interested players.

   However, the third-party works of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are more dominant in the overall gameplay creativity.

   Years of development experience have allowed them to produce a series of works above three-star level very stably.

   These game works may not reach the level of masterpieces, but they can also make players interested in playing.

   In terms of sales, Surui Electronics and Youxing Electronic Entertainment are roughly similar to third-party manufacturers.

   However, the game development cost of Suri Electronics is also higher than that of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, so if the sales volume is similar, the third party of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can earn more.

   At this moment, Take Yusei is concentrating on the development of Monster Hunter, and Final Fantasy 8 will occasionally supervise it to ensure that there will be no problems in the general direction.

  Finally, Final Fantasy 7's movie premiere is planned.

   This time, after learning that Take Yusei was making an animated film, Tukarev took the initiative to take over the distribution in North America and Europe.

In the film industry, he is definitely more professional, and the two sides are partners who have cooperated for a long time and trust each other, so Zhu Youxing is relieved to let him do the propaganda work, and he only needs to be responsible for the production of animated films. Just progress.

   But Zhu Yuxing is not the chief director of the movie. The chief director is a professional plot planner who loves games and has worked in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment for many years.

   This person was originally a professional director, and he also made several works of average quality. Later, he joined Yuxing Electronic Entertainment because of his passion for games.

   He really didn't expect that when he came to the game company, he would one day take up the director's business again.

   Take Yusei is good at game development, but film production and supervision is a state that he hardly understands.

   Even though game development and film production still have a lot in common, Take Yusei does not want his non-professionals to influence the birth of such an excellent film.

   Therefore, we still grab a professional director as a strong man, the director is responsible for the overall management and control, and Zhu Yuxing constantly provides ideas and ideas.

   This form of film production is somewhat strange. The director is not the main manager of the film, and there is a commander-like character on top.

   However, the strong director did not resist. Instead, he was very pleasantly surprised that he could participate in such a top-level animated film.

If it is made according to this rhythm, it is estimated that Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children will be released at the same time. At that time, a movie plus a Monster Hunter game specially made for handheld consoles should achieve certain results. .

   However, at this moment, Tukarev, who was in charge of distributing the Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children movie in the United States, received some bad news.

   Many mainstream movie theaters in the United States have refused to release Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children.
