Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Before her death, David's mother had run an underground business. While dealing with a troublesome incident involving a man known as the Cyber ​​Madman in the city, she secretly stole the powerful cybernetic body that the Cyber ​​Madman had installed and brought it back to her home, clearly intending to resell it.

However, his mother had passed away, and coupled with the blow from his classmates, he looked at the powerful mechanical body and finally found a doctor in the underground black market whom he was familiar with, asking him to help install this powerful prosthetic body on his body.

Then came a meteoric rise. David began to make friends with some thugs on the fringes of society, and also met a girl named Lucy, whom he later made his girlfriend.

At this point, the story has reached its middle stage.

Based on Shinji Asami's experience in the animation industry, he believes this script is quite good and is already a qualified script.

This relieved him greatly.

He was genuinely worried that there would be a terrible script that he would have to figure out how to salvage.

Even if it really happens, he's not afraid and will try his best to make up for it. But if the script itself is good enough, he'll be very happy.

And he was genuinely drawn to the story.

Shinji Asami believes that this is the time to bring a segment that will have an emotional impact on the audience.

In such a cold and ruthless society, we need to use impactful storylines to keep the audience's emotions on the rise and fall.

The script that followed did not disappoint him.

One of David's henchman friends, who is also the leader of a mercenary organization, suffers from excessive cybernetics and frequent overdoses of sedatives, leading to mental instability and a gradual descent into a state of mental breakdown. In the story, such individuals are often referred to as 'cyber lunatics'.

Then, during a mission, the leader finally suffered a complete mental breakdown and killed his teammates and the woman he loved.

This further accelerated the rate at which his mental state deteriorated.

David's mental age is still that of a teenager. After witnessing the breakdown of his boss, he suffers the third mental blow in his life, and the cold and ruthless spirit of Night City is reinforced once again.

In the end, David led the leader and his few remaining teammates away from the mission site, thus ending the emotionally intense part of the story.

That's great, really great.

Shinji Asami began to seriously examine the script.

The impact of this part of the story is quite intense.

If handled properly, it can instantly elevate the core spirit of the entire story by several levels.

He now has an idea: to immediately gather manpower and prepare to produce this animation.

If this animation is well-made, it will not only demonstrate to industry professionals his ability to handle animation production with a budget of 50 million US dollars, but will also significantly elevate his own image.

This animation is not for children.

Putting aside whether the explicit and violent scenes in this animation are suitable for children, the cold-heartedness of the story alone would be incomprehensible to most children, and could even negatively impact their already immature minds.

This is an animation for adults, because only adults can truly understand its core message.

People who have been navigating the complexities of society for many years will have a deeper understanding of the core message of the story.

It's hard to say... but you might still win an award if you're unsure.

Asami Shinji began to get a little excited.

“Mr. Takeyu, Asami-sensei has a rather eccentric personality, please don’t…”

Zhu Youxing said, "There's no need to explain so much. I don't mind. As long as his animation skills are good enough, it doesn't matter what quirks he has."

Asami Shinji's expression was quite exaggerated, even a bit... perverted.

Chapter 1026 Preview

It is extremely rare for animators to have a sufficiently good script to make an animated film.

In Shinji Asami's opinion, Takeyusei's script was already excellent.

Moreover, the style of this story perfectly matches his aesthetic.

A cold and cruel world, filled with sorrow and little hope, where people can't simply drift along, because you could be swept away by the waves at any moment.

"Mr. Zhuyou, don't worry, I will do my best to make this animation the best it can be. However, in the process, I may want to consult more about the details of this world view. It seems that these are not explained in the script. I want to restore this world as much as possible."

Zhu Youxing nodded: "Of course, you should do it. This is also one of the things I hope you will do. The most fundamental purpose of this animation is to promote the video game that I am about to make. Another purpose is to expand the world view of this game. If there is an opportunity, I hope to create a popular cultural work with a huge world view."

"Like... a worldview like 'Middle-earth'?" Asami Shinji's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's similar to that."

Middle-earth is a top-tier IP in this world, similar to Marvel and Star Wars in the original world. Its world-building is also quite similar to the world of the fantasy story Lord of the Rings in the original world. However, the IP value and influence of Lord of the Rings are not as great as Marvel. But in this world, Middle-earth is the top-tier IP, comparable to Marvel and other IPs.

What Zhu Youxing said sounded quite grand.

Whether such a large-scale IP series can actually be created remains to be seen.

All I can say is that it has the potential.

Shinji Asami became even more excited after receiving a positive reply.

If he could participate in such a series of works, his fame would definitely increase.

With enough money and resources, Shinji Asami is now fantasizing about the possibility of becoming famous and renowned.

"By the way, I need you to deliver an animated trailer of about thirty seconds soon. I plan to release this animation on Facebook's official video platform, and it would be best if all episodes were released at once. The production cycle should be within a year and a half. Can you do that?"

"Absolutely no problem!"

As long as the money is there, nothing is a problem.

It won't even take a year and a half, just one year, and ten episodes of animation content can be easily completed.

Normal commercial special effects blockbusters can usually be completed in about a year.

Some delays are unavoidable, such as scheduling conflicts or investors being too stingy, providing too little funding, and demanding too much work, leading to project delays.

With such a high-quality investor as Takeyusei providing ample funding and an outstanding script, any slow and hesitant production would be an insult to Shinji Asami himself.

"Is this 30-second trailer included in the main feature, or is it just for promotional purposes?"

"You decide that yourself. I won't interfere too much. I'll only look at the final result."

Zhu Youxing still has many game projects to work on. After settling things with the animation production staff, he will go on to work on the development of the Cyberpunk 2077 game.

The animation is just a promotional tool; his ultimate goal is to create a top-notch cyberpunk 2077 game.

Shinji Asami promised to produce the 30-second trailer that Takeyusei needed within a week.

This is roughly the time when the hype surrounding the several game-adapted films has died down, and then the promotional work for Cyberpunk 2077 can begin right away.

And then there's the release.

With the development of Chapter of Liberty City completed, the team's overall morale was quite high at the time. Zhuyouxing originally wanted to give them a month-long vacation to relax, but they themselves took the initiative to want to collaborate on at least one more game.

While they were still in high spirits, they believed their game would be even better.

Zhu Youxing readily agreed and then immediately began arranging the production work for them.

Judging from their enthusiasm, Zhu Youxing thought that the development could be completed in about three years.

This is far more efficient than the Rockstar Games in the original world, which was always dragging its feet.

However, this is based on the premise that Bamboo Star can provide a clear development direction and almost avoid detours.

There must have been all sorts of problems during the development of games with other Rockstar games.

These problems hindered game development and caused the development team to take detours time and time again.

This is a necessary path for many game developers, but Zhuyouxing has cleverly skipped these stages.

Without these well-established production systems with numerous mature solutions, Zhu Youxing felt that he would have to work on it for seven or eight years before he could barely produce a decent work.

So, not long after the hype surrounding game-to-film adaptations died down, the development team, together with the Cyberpunk 2077 development team, delivered a result that satisfied Zhuyouxing.

So Zhuyouxing simply released both games simultaneously.

This release doesn't need a special date, since it's just an early preview and can only show a general overview of the game.

The first trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 was released without any warning, directly on the official Facebook social media account, with only two or three seconds between the two videos.

Yes, the first teaser is.

The video appears on a street in a city, accompanied by a pleasant melody.

On this street, all sorts of people walk along the road.

Each of them is doing something different.

A young girl, dressed in light clothing and wearing sunglasses, walked along the sidewalk near the sea with a drink in her hand.

Not far away, several muscular men in shorts posed in front of the woman, showing off their impressive physiques.

The girl chuckled softly, and several muscular men immediately approached her to strike up a conversation.

The camera then shifts its focus, no longer on the details between the girl and the muscular man, but instead arrives at the entrance of a shop not far away.

A man wearing a hood and a mask ran out of the store in a panic, carrying a canvas bag in one hand and a handgun in the other.

Soon another person came out of the shop, shouting that the guy in front was a robber.

However, upon hearing this, passersby immediately distanced themselves, and no one dared to approach.

However, a city police officer happened to be nearby. He was chatting with some passersby on the roadside when he noticed the robber. He rushed forward, drew his gun, and aimed it at the robber, telling him to stop immediately.

Immediately afterwards, gunshots rang out, and people scattered and fled.

This is a chaotic yet interesting corner of the city; the entire trailer is three minutes long.

It depicts robbers, sheriffs, passersby, deliverymen, the rich, the poor, and so on.

All sorts of people live in this city.

Everyone has their own life.

At the end of the video, a large GTA5 logo appears.

Just seconds after that trailer was released, the trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 followed closely behind.
