Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

That was the music from a classic animated film he watched in his childhood.

As the music began, it was the entrance music for a country entering the venue.

His hand froze in mid-air as he stared blankly at the television screen.

He muttered to himself: How could this be?

Chapter 1161 We should seriously re-examine video games

Zhu Youxing wasn't particularly familiar with the popular anime, movies, and music of this world.

I spend most of my time at work and don't have much opportunity to engage in anything outside of video games.

Yusei Takeshi has a lot of influence when it comes to selecting music for video games, and he can recommend many well-known game tracks to director Sano Ono.

As for anime, movies, TV dramas, and traditional Japanese culture, that's up to Ono Sano to choose for himself.

Fortunately, he is also a seasoned director who has directed countless films and television series, and even made a trendy live-action animated film, covering a wide range of fields.

His eye for talent was quite good; he listened to all kinds of musical works, both modern and ancient, and then, together with his think tank, selected the best of the best to use as background music for the country where the performance took place.

These classic pieces of music are the kind that instantly energize the DNA of people around the world.

At the venue, some people even started humming along to the music.

At this moment, the athletes from the participating countries were still somewhat excited as they listened to the humming of the audience in the arena.

They are increasingly convinced that this Olympics will be quite good.

What they need to do next is to do everything in their power to bring glory to their country.

Following that are some classic tracks from games, anime, and movies.

During his spare time, Ono Saeyuki also recommended exclusive background music for different events to the official Olympic Organizing Committee, so that Japanese culture could be more deeply integrated into this Olympic Games.

However, it's hard to say whether they will follow Ono Sane's advice.

"Dad, why isn't it over yet?"

During the live broadcast, nearly a hundred participating countries have already appeared, and it seems like it's not over yet. Each country's appearance is accompanied by its own background music, and their national image is displayed on the big screen showcasing different sports.

At first, people found it quite novel, but as time went by, they gradually began to find it somewhat boring.

"It should be soon."

The father looked at the television with some uncertainty and said.

There are more than 200 participating countries in the Olympics, and this is only half of them. It will take at least twice as long to finish.

This process is not entirely included in the opening ceremony, because it is the standard Olympic athletes' entrance ceremony, and every Olympic Games must have this part.

However, there are more participating countries this year, which might make it a bit boring.

Originally, Ono Saeyuki suggested that the Organizing Committee compress the time for each participating country.

However, the organizing committee wanted to give every country a fair opportunity to showcase themselves, so they rejected Ono's suggestion and had to present them one by one in a rather dry manner.

Gradually, some viewers began to feel dissatisfied and even wanted to change the channel. It was a pity that many countries' official television stations were broadcasting the Olympics live. Such a world-class event only happens once every four years, and it is indeed worthy of the highest level of treatment from many national television stations.

Therefore, these people could only helplessly and passively accept the entrance ceremonies of the participating countries.

Fortunately, this eventually came to an end. After about two hours, all the participating countries finally finished their entrance ceremonies, which allowed the viewers who had been waiting anxiously for the live broadcast and the audience at the venue to recover their spirits a little.

As all the athletes entered the stadium, a very rousing and uplifting piece of music began to play.

That was the official music for this Olympics, sung by a world-renowned Japanese female singer. Takeyusei listened to it and thought it was quite beautiful.

This was a piece of music he had never heard before, and it felt quite novel. At that moment, he was thinking that if he were to be reborn back into his original world, he might be able to take the things from this parallel world and continue to shine in his original world.

However, this was just a thought. Now that Zhu Youxing has settled down in this world and has a family, he absolutely does not want to be reborn again.

After the opening ceremony music ended, all the athletes took their oath.

It seemed that the on-site coordinators also felt that the audience was probably already tired, so they decided not to waste any more time. The oath-taking segment ended without taking up too much time, and next up was the actual opening ceremony program.

"By the way, I'd like to know who lit the torch?"

At this moment, Zhu Youxing suddenly asked Zhu Youcai beside him a question.

Zhu Youcai looked at Zhu Youxing with a strange expression: "You really are someone who is only obsessed with games. You didn't even know this news?"

"Um... I really don't know."

"Kanakawa Ryuji is a national treasure-level actor whose status is comparable to Ono Sano. I quite like the films and TV dramas he has acted in."

"Oh."

Not familiar at all.

"Wow!"

At this moment, little Zhuyoumeng pointed to the sky with a happy expression, as if telling others to look up at the sky.

Now three years old, Zhu Youmeng already has basic behavioral logic, and sometimes she even seems to be many times smarter than other children. At least at the age of three, she can already complete a video game.

Without basic logical concepts, it's difficult to understand how to complete video games. Other children at this age just play games mindlessly, without much distinction.

Zhu Youxing looked in the direction Zhu Youmeng was excitedly looking, and saw that the sky had begun to bloom with magnificent fireworks.

Those were clusters of fireworks inspired by video games, anime, movies, and classic Japanese traditional culture.

Each burst of fireworks brightened the sky a little more, accompanied by music that sounded like a countdown.

Each piece of music is the exclusive background music for these different characters.

Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Sun Knight, Dragon Quest...

There's also anime-specific background music that Takeyusei can't name. This time, the program's effects and arrangements have showcased all of Japan's proudest cultural aspects.

On the other side of the ocean in the United States, some people, including some children, are staying up late to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

When they saw the classic characters blooming in the fireworks, an idea also came to mind.

That is, I also want to have these characters.

That stems from a child's innate possessiveness.

This idea suggests that if children see these firework images in shopping malls or other places, they will go crazy trying to get their parents to get them those things.

Oh no... it's already happened.

A father and son walked into a 24-hour convenience store in the United States. The child was about seven or eight years old, and the father looked to be in his thirties. The clerk on duty was engrossed in watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics and had no idea that anyone would come to the convenience store at this time. He could only reluctantly look away and ask, "Sir, what do you need?"

"I want this... cough cough, no, my son wants Pokémon figurines and toys. Do you have these in your store?"

"Huh?" The shop assistant was taken aback.

Did you come all this way in the middle of the night just to buy toys?

That's really bizarre.

But to be honest, he actually did want to buy it.

He is also a gamer, and the cute cartoon image of Pokémon is appealing to men, women, young and old.

Upon seeing Pokémon characters appear in the Olympics, he immediately wanted to create Pokémon-related products.

"Yes, it's on container H. It's full of toys for kids."

Upon hearing this, the father, who was in his thirties, happily said to his child, "Come on, let's go buy the Pokémon toy you want most!"

Just then, the child mumbled, "But Dad, what I want is..."

The man ignored the child's words and pulled him toward container H.

The shop assistant glanced at the father and son, then went back to watching the Olympic opening ceremony.

Wow, this Olympic opening ceremony was quite interesting!

……

In Zhu Youxing's memory, the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics was a veritable hell on earth. He didn't know what the director of the Olympics was thinking, putting a bunch of extremely dark things into the opening ceremony.

Later, they even went so far as to claim that it fully showcased Japanese traditional culture and allowed the world to recognize it.

Unfortunately, while the world did come to know about Japanese traditional culture, it was mostly with negative impressions, and for a long time afterward, the opening ceremony remained a laughing stock.

So when Zhu Youxing arrived in this world, he really wanted to have an Olympic Games opening ceremony that truly reflected his own vision.

If he didn't have that ability, he wouldn't have such fantasies, and he wouldn't care how the Olympics turned out.

However, he has the ability to change the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics in this world, so he really wants to change all of that.

At this moment, familiar video game characters appeared on the performance area below.

The first to appear was a symbol of the rise of video games in this world: Super Mario Bros.

The person playing Mario is none other than the Japanese Prime Minister himself.

At nearly seventy years old, he now participates in the performance with the energy of a playful old man, which has surprised many people.

It's astonishing that the leader of a nation could be so humble.

Clearly, he was pinning all his hopes on the Olympics, hoping to bring Japan back to the top through the Games.

For this, he was willing to give up his own style and willingly serve as an actor in the opening ceremony performance.

Zhu Youxing actually admired this Japanese prime minister quite a bit; at least he was truly bold and decisive, much better than his predecessors in both his previous life and this world.

If I have the chance in the future, I might try to get in touch with this prime minister more often and collaborate with him to release more video games that promote Japan. That would be a way of showing respect to him.

The opening ceremony began with the Prime Minister himself dressed as Mario. He took out a mushroom from the game, pretended to eat it, and then, just like in the game, straightened his back and looked as if he had actually become taller and stronger.

Next up is Luigi, another character from Mario, tall and thin, played by a world-renowned actor, who is following behind the Japanese Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister and the actor playing Luigi walked to the center of the venue, and then the entire venue went dark, with all the spotlights focused on the center of the venue.

Pixel blocks began to appear on the ground, and some players started shouting excitedly.

That was the first level of the original Super Mario Bros.

What the Prime Minister needs to do is clear the border.

These were all carefully arranged, and with the Prime Minister's considerable effort and seriousness, passing through the level was not difficult. The Japanese Prime Minister quickly arrived at the castle at the end of the level through the pixelated ground blocks.

The castle then transformed back into a 3D image, with the prime minister entering it before it slowly descended into the ground.
