Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"President Takeyu, this is really interesting, but..."

At TV TOKYO, Nagakubo, the deputy station, carefully looked at a 100-page-thick setting draft in front of him, and fell into a state of entanglement.

This setting draft is the outline of the animated version of Pokémon.

Among them, the overall worldview setting of Pokémon, and more than 50 forms of Pokémon, including evolutions, are introduced in great detail.

It can be said that if any TV station gets such an animation outline, it can immediately set up a manpower to start production, and it will hardly encounter any production bottlenecks.

In order to make this outline, Zhu Youxing once again spent several days without sleep and rest to get it done, and then he and his staff have already started writing the underlying code of Pokémon, and now they are waiting to discuss the relaxation of animation, and then Two lines go hand in hand.

"Since it feels very interesting, but it is very tangled, it seems that there are some difficulties?" Zhu Youxing said.

"There are some difficulties... because the conditions you put forward on the attached sheet are a bit harsh."

Deputy Director Kubo pointed to the last page and said.

In the appendix on the last page, it is written that all copyrights of Pokémon-related series will only belong to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and TV Tokyo only has the right to broadcast nationwide and the right to rent and sell nationwide videotapes.

Peripherals, overseas operations, and IP series operations cannot be owned.

This request can be said to be quite overbearing.

They work hard in the production bureau, and then the things don't belong to them. Isn't this waiting for others to work for nothing?

Even if the anime is really attractive, even he, an adult, is looking forward to the finished product.

He also feels that this animation is not as simple as a game advertisement.

If it is just an alternative advertisement for the release of the game, there is no need to make the story outline and settings so detailed.

So there is a profit in that.

However, as the deputy director of the TV station, he naturally has the obligation and responsibility to consider the interests of the TV station, and he needs to maximize his own interests.

The conditions in this appendix require him to be unacceptable for a while.

Zhu Youxing understood, he said: "Please don't misunderstand, if your production bureau is unwilling to accept such a contract, if it feels like working for someone else, I can find a qualified outsourcing team to produce the animation, and then hand it over to you for broadcast. "

"No, that's not what I mean, of course we would like to help make it together, it's just..."

This is a fairly complete animation outline, and the world view is very unique. Just thinking about it, he felt that it would definitely be welcomed by children.

If this animation is produced by the TV station's production bureau, then the TV station's capabilities will also be greatly improved.

It is also very important that all the production staff behind the animation are signed by TV TOKYO.

Before Kubo became the deputy director, he was the director of the production bureau of the TV station.

Of course he didn't want to give up this opportunity, which could improve the reputation of the production bureau.

"It's just that I hope to get more concessions, for example, allowing us to operate the sales of peripheral dolls and so on."

Zhu Youxing said without hesitation: "No, I won't give in on this."

In his previous life, this was the number one IP in the world.

The ability to absorb money is comparable to that of a D product. With this IP, Nintendo can live on its laurels until it dies.

It is absolutely impossible for him to give up this. He only gives broadcasting rights and videotape rental and sales rights, and it is only in China. Zhu Youxing will swallow all overseas business by himself.

Dragon Quest is easy to discuss, but this is not negotiable.

"President Kubo, now that the Internet is in power, the TV station is in decline, and your time is running out. If I want to, I can control all animation broadcasts by myself, and then publish them on the Internet to harvest Internet users. TV is better, don't you think?"

Kubo's head suddenly hurt.

the Internet.

It's the Internet again.

The Internet really is a hateful thing.

Because of the cooperation with Zhuyouxing, they also got a lot of bonuses in video games, so he can't hate video games, and he also likes playing video games.

But the Internet, he hated it.

The Internet is also one of the main culprits in taking TV ratings away.

He had no doubts about Zhu Youxing's words just now.

As long as Zhu Youxing wants to publish such animations on the Internet, he may not be able to make money, but he will definitely harvest many Internet users.

As long as there are people, there is no need to worry about making money.

"Please allow me to think about it, two days, only two days, before that, I hope President Zhuyou will not show this draft to more people."

Zhu Youxing shrugged: "That's not necessarily the case. I can't guarantee that no interested person will come to consult and negotiate. We cooperate with TV Tokyo. Under certain conditions, I will give priority to you, but you are not necessary."

Kubo took a deep look at Zhuyou Xing.

You guy, are you really only in your twenties? Why does it look similar to the old fritters in the mall in their forties or fifties?

He doesn't give in at all, and often threatens with various words.

Damn it.

It is really difficult to discuss cooperation with such a person.

However, the resources and interests they possess cannot be ignored.

Just now, their TV Tokyo has started to develop rapidly relying on the cooperation with Zhuyouxing.

The ratings of video game shows can now reach an average of 234%, which they never dared to imagine in the past.

Then there is the Dragon Quest animated version that was just produced and screened a month ago.

On the day of the broadcast, relying on the million-level player base, it got more than 27% of the ratings.

An animation is still for children, and it has caught up with the ratings of popular national dramas. It is impossible to think of putting it in other places.

If Zhu Yuxing abandons this cooperation with TV TOKYO, will there be cracks in the future cooperation between the two parties?

So... maybe I should make a compromise?

It's just an animation...

Kubo fell into deep thought.

Seeing Kubo's thinking, Zhu Yuxing said slowly: "In my plan, the animation and the game will be released simultaneously, so I don't have much time. My game also needs to start production. You have to decide as soon as possible. If you don’t agree, I’ll find another TV station, or the Internet.”

Kubo seemed to have been hit on the most sensitive nerve. When he heard that he was looking for the next TV station, he immediately became excited and said quickly: "I agree, I will arrange the production bureau to make preparations, and I will use the fastest Speed ​​to complete the production."

Hearing the other party's decisive reply, Zhu Youxing finally smiled: "Then wish us a happy cooperation."
