Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 49 49. I want to interview Teacher Gu Yuan Chunqiu

December 21, 1990.

Friday.

A reporter came to pokeni company with a photographer.

The reporter's name is Katayama Reiko, from "Fruit Game Communications".

This publication was just established in April this year. It is mainly aimed at game enthusiasts. It is published once a week. It will publish reviews and reports on new games and well-known games in the publication, accompanied by pictures and text descriptions.

Despite this, Keguolatong actually reports on almost every game, and the content is quite miscellaneous.

There is no way. Compared with Famiton, a newly established publication like Goletong is simply an ant in front of an elephant, insignificant at all.

Small companies have their own way of survival. For example, Pokeni relied on its ingenious galgame to avoid the sharp edges of the big companies, but survived smoothly. Not only did it survive, but it also fought its way out.

The same is probably true for Goletong. It is reported by many big magazines. Although they will also report it, the main space is used to publish those buried game masterpieces that no one cares about.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a treasure digger.

But there are too few such games, and they are generally relatively niche, so Goletong's current operating conditions are also very difficult.

In order to survive as much as possible, Goletong also works very hard. Famiton is a biweekly, while Goletong is a weekly. Their advantages are large content, complete information, and fast updates.

This time, the reason why I wanted to come to pokeni for an interview was mainly because of the popularity of "Onmyoji 2". This series of games has driven the entire galgame market and can be said to be a phenomenal product.

So Reiko Katayama seems to have come to gain some in-depth understanding of the producers behind the scenes, and at the same time, it can also play a certain promotional role.

For pokeni and Guo Letong, it is a two-way mutual benefit, and Qing Zhiyuan has no reason not to agree.

So far, no media has conducted a similar interview with the Onmyoji team. Perhaps it is because although pokeni has made two good works, there is still a certain gap between being a first-tier game manufacturer.

You know, many big magazines do not come to interview you, but you have to take the initiative to make an appointment for an interview. After all, the final publicity results will help sales.

But Qing Zhiyuan has always been busy, and now that his sales are very good, he has slowed down.

Therefore, Guo Letong sensed a glimmer of an opportunity and quickly took advantage of this gap to make an appointment with Qing Zhiyuan for an interview.

…

After arriving at pokeni, Reiko Katayama first introduced herself and got to know each other with the main staff of pokeni.

She was a little surprised by how young and handsome Qing Zhiyuan was, and her heartbeat even accelerated a bit when she spoke.

"President Qing. Can I take the liberty of asking how old you are this year?"

"26." Qing Zhiyuan replied.

"Huh?" Katayama was stunned for a moment and nodded, "President, you are really young and promising."

"Where is it?" Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand.

To be honest, Katayama has interviewed many CEOs of companies, but he has never seen anyone as young as Qing Zhiyuan.

Especially a handsome face that makes people's hearts beat inexplicably.

Qing Zhiyuan took her to visit the company's working environment and took some photos of employees at work.

Having said that, there is really nothing to visit. The current pokeni team only has more than 20 people. Everyone's workstations are next to each other, and the whole picture can be seen clearly at a glance.

Even the president's separate office can barely fit a table.

Compared to other companies, pokeni seems a bit too shabby.

Fortunately, the employees are very passionate. The great success of Onmyoji 2 is equivalent to a great victory.

Because we knew in advance that reporters would come to interview today, everyone dressed up as if they were twenty-five or eighty thousand.

Even the two girls in the company, Mika Ishino and Akane Ayase, wore exquisite makeup.

Those who knew knew that this was a game company, but those who didn’t knew thought they were entering some kind of nightclub.

…

After taking some short videos of the game production process, photos of the game's original paintings, and photos of the employees' work, several people went to the small conference room.

Here, Reiko Katayama will conduct an in-depth interview with Qing Zhiyuan.

Of course, in addition to Qing Zhiyuan, there are also the two script writers of Onmyoji——

Mika Ishino and Gen Urobuchi.

It was the first time for these two newcomers to face the camera. It can be said that they were nervous to the naked eye. They sat upright and their palms were sweaty.

"The sales volume of Onmyoji 2 this time can be said to be very strong. Some people in the industry believe that the Onmyoji series has created a new era of galgame.

In addition to benefiting from beautiful game graphics and lovable character designs, the plot is also impressive. "

Katayama looked at Ishino Mika, "I would like to ask, Ishino-san, how did you come up with the idea of ​​writing such a story?"

"I?"

Ishino Mika was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Qing Zhiyuan.

This copywriting girl is as timid as a mouse when she's not drinking, and she's the quiet and petite type.

It's hard to imagine that you'd be a different person after drinking.

Qing Zhiyuan responded to her with encouraging eyes. This time you just have to rush forward and I will take the back seat.

"Actually, it's nothing. Rather than the story I thought of, it's more the president's credit." Mika Ishino said seriously, "In the beginning, the president provided the core of the story, and I took the background of the game, which was supposed to be an ancient Chinese style. He changed a bit and became the well-known Onmyoji.

The core of the president's story is really touching.

It's just that I finally wrote it out with my hands. "Ishino Mika answered truthfully.

In the entire game production process, if she has anything to say that she is herself, then it is nothing more than the background of Onmyoji and the gorgeous and soulless rhetoric.

Because the soul comes from Qing Zhiyuan.

She was fortunate enough to be the first reader, or the first player, long before the game was still in the planning section.

Looking back now, I still feel moved in my heart when I saw Zhao Ling'er die.

Ishino Mika's answer confused Katayama Reiko.

I didn't expect that the script writer would give the president face like this.

She pursed her lips and smiled, praising, "Miss Ishino is really... a very humble person."

These days, it is rare for subordinates to take credit without being proud and attribute success to their superiors.

Ishino Mika rolled her eyes and said that what I said was the truth.

…

The interview lasted for more than three hours in total, and both Mika Ishino and Gen Urobuchi left a deep impression on Katayama.

Both script writers are extremely young, especially Gen Urobuchi, who is only 18 years old this year.

It is hard to imagine that a mature and compact work like "Onmyoji 2" was produced by an 18-year-old boy.

This guy's future is truly limitless.

It was almost dinner time and the interview was coming to an end.

Katayama said:

"Um...President, if it is convenient, we would also like to conduct an exclusive interview with the producer [Chunqiu Furuhara]."

This is actually the main purpose of Guo Letong's trip.

The producer Chunqiu Furuhara is so mysterious that no one knows what he looks like so far.

Even at the player symposium, Furuhara Chunqiu, who was supposed to attend, was absent due to various reasons. Players were very curious about Furuhara Chunqiu's true identity.

If we can successfully interview Furuhara Chunqiu, then for Guo Letong, we will undoubtedly get excellent exclusive information.

"Eh?!"

…
