Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Actually, if there weren't so many people around, Bob wouldn't mind being even more obsequious.

Zhu Youxing is like a second parent to me, so there's no reason not to worship him.

Then, there were also many company bosses from both inside and outside the game in the venue.

They all experienced new business development because of video games.

Some are toy company owners who made a fortune from licensing Youxing Electronics' IP, and then willingly became Youxing Electronics' underlings, producing toys and other IP-derived products exclusively for Youxing Electronics, no longer producing other products.

Some are film and television companies... Oh right, there's also a rather special person among them.

"Ha, old brother Zhuyou, it's been four or five years since we last met! It would be really inexcusable if I didn't come to the opening of your amusement park today!"

A tall, imposing Western man with a thick beard that covered the lower half of his face, making him look like Santa Claus, greeted Zhu Youxing very warmly.

He is Tukarev.

A film and television company owner.

Yes, it can now be called a film and television group.

His film group has now basically established itself in the United States and has gained its own voice in the American film market. Unless there is any national-level turmoil, such a person's foundation will not be easily shaken again.

Tukarev is also one of the people who are deeply connected with Bamboo Star.

He has become the most popular film and television group among gamers by relying on the interconnection and interaction of IPs with Youxing Electronic Entertainment in some industries.

Yusei Electronic Entertainment has adapted the most of their video games.

In the field of IP adaptation, Youxing Electronic Entertainment also has its own very unique methods and approaches.

That is to recreate everything in the movies and TV series as much as possible, and then add open-world gameplay elements.

For movie buffs, being able to explore a vast world almost identical to that in the movies is already worth the price of admission. They might not even care too much about whether the gameplay is fun or not, although it would be even better if it were more fun.

Such games typically cost between 30 and 40 million US dollars to develop, but often generate profits of two to three times or more. In particular, the game adaptations of Tukarev's Starry Sky series of science fiction films have yielded profits of five to six times.

In Tukarev's eyes, the bamboo star was his god of wealth.

With Zhu Youxing, his various businesses and operations were now secure.

Tukalev was willing to consider such a person a friend for life.

Moreover, not to mention that the two sides had an almost life-or-death friendship in their earlier years.

Tukarev was deeply grateful to Zhu Youxing for helping him out of his most difficult time, and he would never forget it.

"Tukarev, you're still the same as ever. I think I can put your image into the game someday; it would be really impactful."

Given his size, few people would imagine that Tukarev would be a big boss in a film and television group.

He's more like a fitness enthusiast who just works out like crazy.

He was huge, and had a thick beard.

If he shaved his head, he'd be a perfect template for Kratos, the God of War.

Hey?

Mars……

correct.

It seems I've really forgotten about this great game.

No, it's not that they forgot, but rather that some of the character names in the mythology of this world are different from those in the original world. Therefore, Zhuyouxing has not been in a hurry to adapt some of the mythology or historical stories of the original world into games, and has been developing each game with a cautious attitude.

However, God of War is indeed a great game and the pinnacle of action games in the West.

In Japan, there is the action master Capcom; in Europe and America, there is their action master Santa Monica.

"Great! You can put my image in the game too. I've always wanted to make a cameo appearance as a character in a game."

Tukarev laughed heartily as he spoke, then suddenly noticed that Zhu Youxing seemed to be in a daze.

"Old brother Zhuyou, you...you wouldn't actually be considering this, would you?"

"Hmm? Oh, I am indeed considering it."

Zhu Youxing wore a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

"Are you really considering it? Do you already have an idea?"

"Hmm, it's a game about mythology and legends. I feel that your appearance is very suitable to be a game character, and even the protagonist."

"Really?" Tukarev immediately became interested.

He was quite surprised that a mythological story could make him the protagonist.

I never expected that my image would give Zhu Youxing such strong inspiration.

If only he had come sooner, I might already be seeing the game character I wanted to see.

"What kind of character is it? Can I find out more first? Or do you only have a general idea right now?"

"As for the concept... I already have a rough framework."

"Then tell me about it," Tukalev said, his interest piqued.

He truly deserves to be called a super genius in the gaming industry.

In just a short while, they had already come up with a new game's main character settings and framework.

This skill is truly rare in the world!

"Well, I envision a god of war, someone who cuts through the entire mythological story and slays all the gods in the myths and legends."

"Uh……"

Tukarev was a little dumbfounded.

That sounds... kind of irritable.

"Isn't this image of Zhu You a bit too extreme? Won't it provoke public opinion?"

Zhu Youxing asked curiously, "What are you afraid of? Are you worried that this kind of person can devour us alive?"

"No, that's not it. I'm just worried about whether this will affect your company's image. This kind of arbitrary adaptation of mythology, and the killing of all the gods in the mythology, doesn't sound like a game for children. Can this kind of game sell well?"

"It will sell well, believe me. And speaking of mythology, think about how bloody and chaotic Western mythology is already. The relationships between gods are unclear, who is whose brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law has an unclear relationship with his sister-in-law, etc. If all of this were explained, it could probably become a completely restricted work."

"Now that you mention it... it's true. None of the myths in Europe and America are serious; they're all terrifyingly chaotic."

"So, there's no psychological burden about killing these gods, so you don't need to care about public opinion. Besides, I'm not afraid of public opinion at all. I've grown up under the siege of countless opinions, and I'm still alive and well, aren't I?"

Chapter 983 The Grass-Mowing Game

983

The opening ceremony is a very important part for important figures.

This represents a milestone.

Japanese government officials, in particular, paid special attention to the opening ceremony.

They even directly used NHK's official media team to broadcast the promotion live.

They even scheduled NHK's most popular channel time slot for the opening ceremony, wanting to promote their latest achievements to everyone, especially the Japanese people, and to create a model that could increase the country's international influence.

NHK was initially somewhat reluctant, as they had already rescheduled the time slot for what they considered a more prestigious program: a documentary about a famous person's biography.

However, since this was a strong request from the Japanese government, which is rare for the Japanese government to ask NHK for help like this, and it was indeed a moment to demonstrate national strength that the public was happy to see, the time slot had to be rearranged.

The same live streaming rights as NHK are held by a Japanese online video platform, which itself has received investment from Yusei Electronics Entertainment, and also by TV Tokyo.

This television station has experienced many ups and downs, but it still holds a rather special place in the hearts of the Japanese people.

Zhu Youxing initially had a special fondness for this television station. Even though he lived in China in his previous life, he had heard of the famous TV station, and many of the cartoons he watched as a child were broadcast by TV station.

Therefore, after arriving in this world, Zhu Youxing paid a little more attention to this TV station. Also, there was a hidden relationship between the two sides from the very beginning, namely, the relationship between the board of directors of the TV station's parent newspaper.

TV Tokyo also benefited from this opportunity, as it was able to broadcast the opening ceremony live alongside NHK.

Unlike NHK, TV Tokyo took this live broadcast very seriously.

Today, TV Tokyo is the headquarters for all gamers and anime fans.

Aside from some regular variety shows designed to expand its business and documentaries aimed at elevating its image, TV Tokyo's daily programming consists entirely of anime and game-related content, making it a favorite among overseas gamers and anime enthusiasts.

Furthermore, TV Tokyo incorporates multiple languages ​​into every one of its television programs.

If you access TV Tokyo from a different regional IP address, you will see subtitles for the corresponding country.

TV Tokyo is now the most successful Japanese television station to go global, and even NHK often comes to TV Tokyo to learn from its experience.

For the opening of the amusement park, TV Tokyo deployed its top-tier live broadcast team, including its leading ladies, striving for perfection and providing viewers with the best audio-visual experience.

These are all limited to the external level; what really matters is the players' experience.

At this moment, tens of thousands of people have gathered at the entrance of the amusement park.

Tens of thousands of people gathered together, and it should be the hottest time of the year, but it did not dampen the spirits of anyone present.

Wow, there are so many people!

At the main entrance of the park stands a castle with a red brick exterior.

Familiar players will surely recognize this as the classic red castle from the very first Super Mario game.

Whenever Mario enters the castle, a small flag will slowly rise.

Kazumi, Oto, and Aiko are well-known game producers and are also widely recognized as the three most senior disciples of Takeyusei. Naturally, the three of them do not need tickets.

Previously, when He Mei wanted to participate in the ticket lottery, she simply wanted to enjoy the thrill of a small gamble and also wanted to get a few extra tickets to give back to the fans who initially liked her game.

Although if Kazumi and the other two brought it up, Takeyusei would definitely give them a few tickets to give to his fans without hesitation, Kazumi didn't want to do that.

In the end, Kazumi got her wish, using Aiko's mysterious and unpredictable luck to draw a ticket, which she then gave to a player who was the most active on the relevant forum and who initially supported their work.

The three of them now stood atop the castle at the main gate, looking down at the sea of ​​people below.

"This is the first time I've ever looked down at so many people. Is a scale of tens of thousands really this terrifying?"

Yin Jiang said dismissively, "Of course, what else did you think? Tens of thousands of people is quite terrifying."

He Mei said, "In some ancient stories, it is often said that the great Eastern powers have a million soldiers. When they fight, they often have hundreds of thousands or even millions of elite soldiers and generals. How spectacular must it be if so many people are fighting on the same battlefield?"
