Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

1015

The film and television circles who participated in this filming are very happy.

With the recent economic downturn, it's hard to find someone who is willing to pay for a film.

Especially this time Tukarev gave priority to actors who are generally not well-known.

Mainly, of course, to save money.

Those in the film and television industry who didn't participate were a little sour.

This is especially true for some screenwriters, directors and actors who are also not well-known.

And some guys who have always hated video game adaptations.

But they can only say a few words in a strange way, there are a lot of fans of Uncharted Sea and Metal Gear.

Both of these are works with a single sales volume of more than 5 million.

That means at least one million fans like this game.

As long as they are not stupid, no one will provoke this group of players and talk too much about the bad things about these two games.

So the third projected film became the target of their attack.

Through various gossip, they have a general understanding of the overall story structure of the movie.

It seems that by taking advantage of the fame of many well-known game IPs, and then gathering the fame of these IPs together, many players are willing to go to the cinema to contribute to the box office.

"Hehe, it's really interesting. Is this considered a movie?"

In a magazine of a certain film and television media, Jimmy, the editor-in-chief, felt ridiculous.

"What is the meaning of a movie that is stewed in a pot? It really has no connotation."

"That's right, editor-in-chief, we think so too, you really spoke our minds."

There are always people who agree with Jimmy.

"I feel that we should do something. If this kind of movie becomes popular, the film and television industry will really be over."

While Jimmy was talking, his eyes were still shining with unwilling anger.

Now who the film director is has not been announced, it seems to have been predetermined.

But the screenwriter is not pre-determined, but selected.

At the beginning, he volunteered to apply for the job.

Jimmy has been a fairly senior screenwriter in the past.

And his works are relatively good and bad, but his industry status is still there.

Later, he retired to the second line and joined this magazine as the editor-in-chief. He can make money drinking tea every day, which is quite easy.

But after he became editor-in-chief, movies based on video games began to appear, and several of his friends were involved in the production of such films.

And they've generally gotten pretty good returns.

This made him very envious.

To put it simply, he was envious of those companions around him who made money, but he didn't.

This also makes him now start to hate video games because of his love.

Even the video games that the children like, he would say something strange, and he felt that he would not be relieved if he didn't say that.

In the magazine, there are actually people who have different opinions, but they don't dare to say anything more.

They also love video games, and have enjoyed some movies based on video games.

But in Jimmy's mouth, video games have become worthless things.

They just dare not speak out because they are leaders after all.

"Editor, what are you going to do?"

Jimmy sneered: "Of course it's to let Youxing Electronic Entertainment bleed a little."

After he finished speaking, he looked at several editors and said, "When you write a few film reviews, of course you can't be so tit-for-tat. You must have enough data to support and point out the shortcomings of this third film that is going to be shot."

"Ah this..."

Several editors showed embarrassing expressions.

It's not that they can't write, but why does this guy let them write?

When the time comes, it will be their signatures. The leader doesn't want to get involved in such offending things.

"Of course, I won't let you say it so directly. I just want you to question the meaning of this kind of movie a little bit. You can say whether such a hodgepodge movie is worth investing in, and at the same time Question whether Tukarev’s film and television company may deliberately cheat Youxing Electronic Entertainment’s money, in order to get more IP authorization, it will draw a big cake for Youxing Electronic Entertainment.”

Such a pot of chaos, the type of so-called easter egg movies has never appeared in the past.

But even with Jimmy's past experience, he felt that this thing had little chance of success.

He felt that if he pointed out the shortcomings of this movie in time, he might be appreciated by Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Then in the future, when people see that they can point out their interests, they may have a good impression of themselves, and thus have opportunities to cooperate with them in the future.

By that time, wouldn't I be able to make a lot of money?

He thought with some complacency.

And these tasks are completely handed over to his subordinates, and he only needs to reap the final fruits.

Several subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end they had no choice but to write articles according to Jimmy's request.

As for Jimmy, while he was imagining the possible cooperation opportunities with Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the future, he ran out to participate in a large party with several well-known industry insiders.

Soon, related articles appeared on the Internet and in film and television magazines that were launched later.

But Tukarev didn't see the articles, because all he could think about now was filming.

The crews of the two films, Metal Gear Solid and Uncharted Sea, were all ready. As soon as he distributed the investment funds, the producers and directors started the pre-shooting preparations non-stop.

And this preparatory work is that everyone on the crew plays these two games first.

What Tukarev asked was that the plot should not be magically changed, at least to make the game players comfortable, then at least three to five million players will go to the movies.

Tukarev expects to invest about 100 million U.S. dollars in both films. The first wave of box office provided by these players alone can basically guarantee that the film can roughly match the cost.

Then rely on word-of-mouth to ferment, after all, players who watch movies don’t necessarily go to watch alone, they also bring friends or relatives to watch together, which will generate a lot of box office.

Earning back the cost is not a big problem.

As long as these two movies make money, it doesn't matter if the later movies don't make money. Quan Dang and Zhu Youxing will deepen and consolidate the relationship between the two parties.

It was just a little bit of a surprise to him that the older, seventy-year-old well-known director was very interested in that movie, and he also started his own video game journey for it. He decided to start with Super Mario , and gradually became familiar with the many game types of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
