Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

As he spoke, Ota took out a city map from his bag.

This is a map overview of the entire Tokyo area.

On this map, Ota marked several locations with a marker.

This includes several of the busiest areas in the port area, as well as places like Akihabara, which were marked with markers.

"I recently took a team to investigate the places I marked. These places are often where adults have the highest foot traffic. Their favorite thing to do after work is to have a few drinks, connect with their bosses and colleagues, and then go home. I think their nightlife isn't necessarily limited to drinking and socializing every day. Sometimes, video games can also provide them with some entertainment, and it's a very cheap and affordable form of entertainment. We can place mobile video game stations on the routes these commuters take every evening and attract them with free drinks and snacks. I believe this will have a strong promotional effect on us."

Zhu Youxing listened attentively.

At this moment, a picture had already formed in his mind.

Exhausted office workers often have to drink with their colleagues when they finish get off work at eight or nine o'clock.

However, at this moment, a new shop suddenly appears on the roadside, where there are free drinks to drink, and all they have to do is play the latest video games inside.

"Zhuyou, to be honest, ever since I saw the top-notch graphics of the games you've developed, I've realized that this is definitely the most attractive thing. It's like a blockbuster movie; most people wouldn't refuse it. Moreover, we can do some collaborative activities, such as game adaptations of movies and anime of the same name. I think with your game development skills, making an adaptation game shouldn't be a problem, right, Zhuyou?"

Zhu Youxing nodded, then gestured, "Go on."

“Sometimes adaptations naturally come with a fan base, just like your creation of the Final Fantasy VII movie. You’ve always been cautious about adapting games into movies, TV series, and novels, but we can still take on some projects that adapt movies, TV series, and novels into games. These works that naturally come with a fan base can also attract people who don’t play games before to start playing video games.”

This is indeed a good road.

Zhu Youxing squinted his eyes.

He was already impressed by the prospects described by Ota.

If this method succeeds, then Youxing Electronic Entertainment will be able to expand into some new businesses in the future.

This can be considered a new way to generate revenue.

I now have the capability to develop games on an industrial scale.

It would be a waste to use this ability only for developing one's own game projects.

Finding more work adapting works would be a win-win situation.

Just like Bandai in the original world, they frantically raked in money from fans by adapting anime into games.

No matter how poor the quality of their work is, their games almost never lose money.

However, if there are mature, industrially developed adaptation games, it's like setting a lower limit for game adaptations.

In the original world, Zhuyouxing was also a victim of various adapted games.

Even knowing that games based on anime like One-Punch Man, Gundam, One Piece, Naruto, and Demon Slayer are just money grabs, Takeyusei is still willing to buy them.

Because he wanted to experience what it felt like to control anime characters himself.

The quality of these games is truly hard to describe.

Bandai Namco is really not a qualified game publisher; their games vary greatly in quality, with a very wide range of quality.

Sometimes, Takeyusei even thinks that it would be better if these adapted games were a bit more formulaic, at least they wouldn't be bad.

However, this cannot be changed by the will of Zhuyouxing.

But things are different in this world.

“Adapting games is a good approach; I can definitely look into it,” Takeyusei said, agreeing with Ota's suggestion.

Ota quickly said, "What about this kind of on-the-ground promotion? It lets you and me rediscover the feeling from over ten years ago. Isn't that great? You see, if we promote our adaptations in some popular merchandise stores, users who like these movies, anime, and literary works should be very welcoming. Isn't that one of the ways you mentioned to increase the player base?"

Zhu Youxing's brain began to think rapidly.

Seeing this, Ota immediately continued to encourage, "Actually, there's a little bit of my own motive involved. I want to rediscover the feeling of my youth and be passionate again. Don't worry, if the ground promotion method is unsuccessful, I will absolutely not waste a single penny of our company's money. I will stop it immediately, and I will even cover the cost of the failure myself."

Zhu Youxing said, "That won't be necessary. You don't need to go to such lengths."

"So, Zhuyou, what you mean is..."

Zhu Youxing smiled and said, "I agree. You can make your request and I will fulfill it. Just tell me if you need any resources."

"That's great!" Ota Tadashi exclaimed excitedly.

Chapter 815 Don't be polite to me

815

With Zhu Youxing's permission, the work will definitely go much more smoothly from now on.

Furthermore, Takeyusei has begun to seriously consider plans to adapt the game.

The scale of industrial development has already been built up, and it would be a real shame not to make good use of it.

"Zhuyou, I have another request, but I don't know if you will agree."

At this moment, Ota Masashi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hmm? What are the requirements?"

"Actually, I hope you can also participate in the on-the-ground promotion activities and actively promote the game console and the latest games. Of course, you may be very busy and probably don't have much time. If it's not possible, then forget it."

Takeyusei instantly understood that Ota Masashi also hoped that the sales of the game console would increase again this time.

Now, as the godfather of the video game industry, his participation in on-the-ground promotional activities demonstrates his approachable attitude and is a pleasant surprise for some hardcore video game enthusiasts.

In the past, when the game console was first launched, Zhuyouxing would personally go to the most important official store to give away a whole year's worth of game cartridges to the first person who bought the console, and would also take a photo with them and sign autographs.

The players who receive these honors are like lucky stars in the eyes of countless other players, who are incredibly envious.

Countless people long to meet Zhu Youxing, even if it's just a brief meeting without having to do anything; they would be willing to do so.

"Sure, now that you mention it, I'm also tempted to relive the feeling of when I first promoted the game."

"So, Zhuyou, you've agreed?"

"Yes, this is also beneficial to our company, so I naturally have no reason to refuse. On the contrary, I will support your actions."

"Alright! Zhuyou, just wait for my good news!"

Ota Masashi looks quite excited right now.

He immediately left Zhu Youxing's office to begin arranging the on-the-ground promotion activities and work.

With the support of Takeyusei, Ota Masashi believes that this ground promotion activity will definitely be a great success.

After a long silence, Zhu Youxing picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Ah, old friend from Zhuyou, what brings you to call me all of a sudden?"

On the other end of the phone was an English accent with a strong Russian flavor.

The other person is Tukarev, who is now a well-known film and television distributor in the film and television industry.

While Tukalev is certainly not on par with top film giants like Detroit Film Group, his position is already considered upper-middle class.

And his current success is also thanks to Zhu Youxing.

When he saw that the number on his phone was from Zhu Youxing, he answered the call almost without hesitation, letting out a hearty laugh.

"You sound quite energetic," Zhu Youxing said with a smile.

"I recently invested in a big-budget production that uses your top-notch special effects engine. Let me tell you, your Unreal Engine is absolutely amazing right now. Countless people want to get an exclusive licensed version of Unreal Engine from me to create their own film and television works. You've really given me a huge benefit, my old friend Zhuyou!"

Because Tukalev can be considered a deep partner of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Such partners don't need to be kept secret.

Unreal Engine is used by an enormous number of companies and organizations.

Every day, these companies and groups provide a wide variety of special effects, animations, and other numerical and development data that could fill countless hard drives.

These data are the most valuable asset of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Now, the dominance of Unreal Engine has finally been fully demonstrated.

Unreal Engine has matured continuously by relying on countless data points, making itself suitable for any form of development. As long as you make a request, Youxing Electronics Entertainment can create a custom Unreal Engine for you, matching your development style.

Even so, Yusei Electronic Entertainment still maintains some strictly confidential information.

Some of this data is quite valuable, and it is Unreal Engine's most precious asset.

With this data, the overall quality of games developed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment is often significantly higher than that of others, and the development costs are also much lower.

Tukarev established himself firmly in the film and television industry by relying on this exclusive development rights.

Countless famous directors are envious of Unreal Engine's development capabilities.

It saves money while creating high-quality special effects works, and other film and television companies are eager to obtain the same qualifications as Tukalev.

However, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment responded that company secrets are not open to the public.

The number of people begging Tukarev every day is countless. If he were to agree to someone's development request even slightly, he would immediately become that person's honored guest and be welcomed by countless people.

However, Tukarev also understood that he owed all of this to Zhu Youxing. Without Zhu Youxing, he might have quietly retired from the film industry years ago, slunk away from the United States, and returned to Russia to become a small-time landlord.

Being a small-time landlord in a local area is nothing compared to the glory you have now.

After a brief chat, Zhu Youxing got straight to the point.

"Okay, let's talk about work now."

Upon hearing that it was important, Tukarev also became serious.

"Speak, Zhuyou, what are your thoughts?"

Do you have any good film or television IP projects recently? My team happens to be available and is currently preparing to develop some game adaptations.

"Huh?" Tukarev was taken aback at first, then his expression turned to surprise.

"Zhuyou, you've finally come to your senses! I've been begging you for so long to help me develop more adapted games, and now you've finally agreed!"

"This is not something I decided on a whim; it's something I've been thinking about for a while now. I just want to give it a try."

“I know, I know. Tell me, Zhuyou, which of my works have caught your eye? You can pick any one you like. I won’t take a single penny of the licensing fee, and I can even just ask for a mere five percent of the game revenue as a token.”

Zhu Youxing smiled and said, "That's so exaggerated? Then I won't hold back."

"Zhuyou, you don't need to be polite with me. You can have anything you want, and I will do my best to provide it for you!"

"Your Starry Sky, your War of Audenan, and the medieval mythology series can all be entrusted to me."

"So many? Can your team handle it?" Tukalev didn't expect that Zhuyouxing really wanted to develop so many games all at once, or that it was just trying to grab a spot from his side first and ensure that the game adaptation rights for these movies and TV series belonged to him?
