Game Development: Starting with Recreating the Anime Game Style

Chapter 362 Star Sect

His thoughts were brought back to reality.

To be honest, looking at so many people around him, Bai Ruilin also had a strange sense of belonging.

Logically speaking.

Although they are all companies invested in by Star Capital, it is common for large companies to invest in multiple game companies. In fact, Star Capital usually holds between 30% and 40% of the shares.

The majority of the profits actually remain in the hands of the game companies themselves.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the companies in the Starry Sky Games Alliance are actually in a competitive relationship.

In the real world, almost all of the companies in the StarCraft Games Alliance are like sister companies, or even subsidiaries of StarCraft.

This is partly because, as a company of the Star Alliance, in addition to receiving investment, the games are often distributed and published by Star Alliance, and are exclusively available on the Star Alliance platform.

Including share distribution and platform agent commission, the interests of both parties are highly aligned.

Second.

This is because any project within the Star Alliance requires a separate report to Chu Chen every so often, even if it's not a face-to-face report.

Reports were also required, and this system of separate reporting ultimately resulted in the entire Starry Sky Game Alliance's structure resembling more of a strange "class" than a true game alliance.

So-called internal competition is mostly...

"Holy crap, Mr. Chen mentioned so-and-so in the last internal analysis meeting."

as well as.

"Huh? They've already reached the second demo version!? That's fast!"

and also.

"Have you heard? XXX got over 90% positive reviews during the StarTap gray-scale test!!!"

These sounds are no different from the casual chatter among students back in school.

Even Chu Chen himself didn't understand why this was happening. In his previous life, new anime companies were popping up everywhere, but he never felt this way.

Later, it was during a conversation that Song Yueying said something that made Chu Chen realize what was going on.

"Because you really dare to teach..."

In the past, although anime and manga game companies sprang up like mushrooms after rain, the capital behind them was scattered. But this time...

Chu Chen, this "person from the future," has basically gathered all the "good" talents together.

Aside from the shares they own, almost all their other funding comes solely from Xingchen, which naturally makes a difference.

Furthermore, Chu Chen's ultimate goal is to build the world's largest gaming platform, making Chinese games the center of the world, and then, like Steam, be able to "make money while lying down."

Funding, channels, goals, and a whole host of other factors have ultimately led to the current situation.

As time came to the afternoon.

The morning's presenters had all finished their reports, and the Starry Sky Games' large conference room was gradually filling up.

Bai Ruilin spotted several familiar faces in the crowd.

For example, Hai Mao and Yu Wan are currently huddled together, seemingly discussing something.
There are many meetings within the Starry Sky Games Alliance, but most of them are individual meetings. It is not very common to gather together the founders of almost all the investment companies like today.

Amidst the quiet as everyone pondered their own thoughts, the conference room door was pushed open.

Chu Chen walked in.

Today, Chu Chen was dressed in simple casual clothes, carrying no documents, as if he were just passing by and happened to come in for a look. However, the moment he stepped into the conference room, the previously relaxed atmosphere instantly froze.

"Wow--"

The sound of chairs scraping the floor was uniform, and everyone, including Bai Ruilin, stood up almost reflexively at the same time.

Then, because so many people stood up subconsciously, people who hadn't originally planned to stand up also did so, and so it was a chain reaction.

The entire conference room had more than twenty people standing in a row, all eyes fixed on Chu Chen standing at the door.

Then, after everyone stood up, many people were still confused as to why they were being forced to stand up as well, making it seem like a gangster boss was entering...
It is clear.

It's not just that these people haven't figured it out.

Chu Chen, who had just opened the office door, was startled to see a group of people suddenly standing up to greet him.

"What's wrong? Why are you so startled?"

Originally, after Chu Chen said that, the others planned to take the opportunity to respond to Chu Chen and ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

However, before the first few people could finish speaking, everyone was quickly drawn to the group of people behind Chu Chen carrying cameras and recording equipment.

"Oh? They're from TV Tokyo, here to record some documentary footage. Just ignore them."

"what???"

Chu Chen did not offer any further explanation.

If you enjoy watching documentaries, you might recall that Japanese television stations were quite fond of producing documentaries on the theme of "The Rise of China" during this period.

The program mainly introduces the significant influence of Chinese companies abroad, thereby exaggerating the "China threat" theory.

For example, they might say that Chinese companies are doing incredibly well in Africa, or that they've become industry leaders, etc. The general message is: "Look at China! If Japan doesn't work harder, it's doomed!"

Hmm, foreign Yilin magazine?

That's roughly the situation.

Anyway, after China's GDP surpassed Japan's 10 years ago, a type of documentary about "how this country is doing" became popular in Japan for a while.

As the most "well-known" overseas company in Japan over the past year, Star Games is naturally a "hot topic" for interviews.

Adding to the hype surrounding Hoshino's "100 billion yen in revenue" that the Asahi newspaper recently coined, Hoshino can no longer be described as just "hot" in Japan; it's more accurate to call it "explosive."

Therefore, when Chu Chen first heard that TV Tokyo wanted to capitalize on the momentum and produce a documentary, he was reluctant to accept the offer.

After all, you don't know if the other party will distort their will.

Considering the importance of the Japanese market to Xingchen, Chu Chen was unwilling to take any risks.

Later, it was Li Suhao, the person in charge of Starry Japan, who told Chu Chen that they had bribed TV Tokyo and the other party promised to produce in a "positive" and "active" manner.

It's even possible that because of the generous bribe, the two sides reached a tacit understanding of "sincere cooperation," with the other party even willing to have Xingchen review the script before it airs.

It was for this reason that Chu Chen agreed to Tokyo TV's request.

Although Chu Chen spoke lightly.

The group of people in the office had never seen anything like this before, and the equipment used by the Japanese television station was rather outdated, even if the technology wasn't necessarily advanced.

It looks quite intimidating, with several shoulder-mounted cameras and a microphone holder; it looks very impressive, just like a documentary from the "memory" era.
