Chapter 90: Jokes

Toshio Kojima is a well-known game producer around the world, and his works "Warrior", "Dragon's Fury", "Street Fighting" and so on are all popular fighting games all over the world, among which "Street Fighting" is a household name, from the "Little Overlord" period to the popularity of PS4 home consoles. The popularity of Street Fighting www.biquge.info in Europe and the United States is widely held, and a major tournament is held every year, and the winner can receive huge prize money ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. Both the game mode and popularity are very similar to the side-scrolling fighting game called "Street Fighter" in the last world of Yu Kamiya.

In the Japanese game industry, Toshio Kojima has the title of "Action Tenzun", which means that his position in action games is unshakable.

Such a game producer in his forties still maintains a wide range of interests, and animation is one of them. In fact, he has noticed the characteristics of this work since the release of "RED-Crescent Rose", that is, it is too suitable for making an action fighting game, whether it is an MMORPG genre or a side-scrolling fighting game, there is a lot of room for expansion, and what he values most is Yosuganosora's explanation on the "fake book" account about the setting of the external image power of the "RWBY" series, that is, the physical power generated by Ruby Rose when he fires magic bullets when he uses a mechanical giant scythe.

Such a simple setting made him feel that his eyes lit up, and it was not that there were no works with similar settings before, but those works never showed the charm of this setting and opened it up.

When he first watched "RED-Crescent Rose", he watched it dozens of times, and spent a week estimating the development space of the work, but he was not completely sure whether to buy the game rights to the anime before Christmas. It wasn't until "Yellow - Ash Paradise" came out that he made up his mind, not because of the animation picture, nor the setting of the external image, let alone anything like popularity, but simply because as an expert with a deep understanding of the field of martial arts, he felt shocked and moved when he watched the fighting scene in the middle of "Yellow - Ash Paradise"!

At his level, he thought he couldn't imagine such an extremely exciting battle scene, and the perfect combination of external image force setting and real fighting skills brought out the charm of external image force setting to the fullest. He saw the potential of RWBY's game adaptation, as well as the action design.

・・・・・・

"20 million yen to buy the game adaptation rights of the RWBY series." Kamiya Yuu looked at the cooperation invitation letter received by the "Fake Book" account from the Kongpuka Game Company, 20 million yen is equivalent to 200,000 US dollars, and it seems that the game adaptation rights of only one anime work are purchased separately than the cooperation of the "Fake Book" company. But now that RWBY is growing in popularity, $200,000 is still buying the game adaptation rights that are buyouts.

Yuruo Kamiya agreed, and if this work wants to be adapted into a game in the future, it will have to obtain permission from the Kongpuka game production company.

"Oh~ Isn't this the famous game production company Kongpuka.,When I was a child, there was no shortage of works from this company.,It's also said on TV that there's a "Street Fighting" contest held in Akihabara.。 Unexpectedly, they also fell in love with "Yellow - Ash Paradise". Yuuki Chinatsu sucked on the bag of nutritious jelly, turned her body sideways, and looked at the message displayed on Yuu Kamiya's computer screen with some surprise.

The [Edge-no-Kong] animation studio, which has been idle, is waiting for Yu Kamiya's next step, but tomorrow is the legal holiday date, so everyone will come to the company today to relax. Aoi Morishita is still working on follow-up documents, Yu Kamiya is watching comments and cooperation invitations related to "Yellow - Ash Paradise", Chinatsu Yuuki is playing online games, and Uehara Ezuki is leisurely drinking tea.

"Do you want to sell it? This may be good news for the work itself. She nodded excitedly and said that she herself participated in the production of "Yellow - Ash Paradise", and now the work is actually favored by large companies! Even if it doesn't have a direct impact on her, it's an affirmation of her ability.

Yu Kamiya shook his head and muttered: "I can't accept the conditions of this contract, 20 million yen is not of much use to us now, so there is no need to rush to sell the game adaptation rights." The price could be lowered to $100,000 and given them the right to license the adaptation of the game instead of buying it out. ”

Yuki Chixia looked at Kamiya Yu with a strange face: "Isn't this condition too arrogant?" The other party is a well-known big company in the game industry, and the game adaptation is even more beneficial to our side. ”

It's true that this may be the case, but Yu Kamiya just doesn't want the copyright of his work to be out of his control. He smiled, turned his head and replied, "You don't have to make up your mind so early, we are the one who has the initiative." ”

・・・・・・

On the 28th, three days after the release of "Yellow-Ash Paradise", the explosive popularity growth of the work finally slowed down. A few days ago, the number of hits on the "fake book" website alone exceeded 20 million, so that "Yellow - Ash Paradise" won the first place in the monthly popularity list of the animation section without any suspense, and at the same time, the dynamic CG original painting "Ash Paradise" drawn by him won the first place in the popularity list of the original painting area of the month.

"Yellow - Ash Paradise" won both championships in the animation section, becoming one of the most discussed works in the "fake book" animation section that month. All kinds of fanfics have sprung up.,The ninth place on the monthly popularity list of the original art area is a yang fanart from the hand of a famous artist.。

"RWBY" can be regarded as making a name for itself in foreign ACG circles.

But compared to the popularity of foreign countries,Even if there are "red-crescent moon roses" and "yellow-ashes paradise" on Japan's official video sites,The popularity is not too high.,It belongs to the degree that the new ones that are unpopular in the season are thrown off by the popular ones for several streets.。

This reminds Yu Kamiya of the "joke" of the previous world: the hegemony of station B.

The so-called hegemony of station b is that the works that are very popular on the bilibili barrage website are always unsatisfactory in Japan, but the sales of BD have always been unsatisfactory, for example, "In Shimosakamoto, what are you doing" that caused a phenomenal reaction at station B, the sales in Japan are completely on the street.

This phenomenon is caused by the aesthetic differences between China and Japan in different works, and is closely related to the development of their respective cultures.

China, Japan, Europe and the United States have many evaluations of the same work, and most of them have very different opinions.
