Chapter 16 The matter is resolved and the signing meeting is decided!

"The sale of the game has ended!?"

This is after lunch, Sayu and Nasu, the head of Type-moon, on the other end of the phone.

Walking down the street to the station, facing the scorching sun, the tone here seems to be more 'enthusiastic' than the scorching sun.

According to the content of the phone call just now, Sayou was a little dissatisfied with Type-moon's temporary change of mind, after all, the sales revenue of "fate/staynight" will become his first pot of gold, and if it is directly cut in half, it will affect all future schedules, so it is impossible for Sayou to agree to the other party's decision lightly.

Sideways to avoid the crowd, because it was a holiday, many students were wandering the streets, and a group of teenagers and girls were talking and laughing past them.

Is it going to start 'post-holiday teatime'?

Unless it's five girls, Sayou can't be interested.

Walking to the platform with the phone, Sayu glanced at the bus timetable beside him.

Kitazawa Station is about a five-minute drive from Karui Station, and since it's a national highway, it may be faster.

The road leads directly from the city, past beaches and tunnels, towards Okinawa.

While waiting on the platform, Sasuke responded to Nasu Takazu on the other end.

"Mr. Nasu is kidding, since the contract has been signed, and the sales time has been stipulated, if the plan is changed temporarily, it will not only cause inconvenience to the players who purchase, but also cause considerable trouble to the logistics service, right, what are you going to do with those orders? All returned? ”

Adopting a high-pressure posture, and Sayu does not intend to let himself be underestimated by the other party.

The final number of reservations for "Fate/StayNight" is 280,000 copies, and after subtracting some of these unexpected circumstances, there are about 25 copies, which is undoubtedly the number that can win the first place in this year.

The current Japanese doujin game market is in a state of downturn, and with the exception of Type-moon's past famous work "Tsukihime", there are few good works coming out, and industries like Douzhì have begun to decline.

The difference between a game and an anime adapted from a light novel may lie in the impact of word-of-mouth on performance.

If the reputation of a game is not good, then the future product will also be affected; But if the anime adapted from the light novel is not popular, you can still rely on the voice actor and the new work in the future to regain popularity, which is more convenient than the game.

Even if Sasuke didn't quite understand the subtle differences between them, the general thing was still understood.

In any case, Sayu believes that the game should be sold within today's time, so that "Fate/Staynight" will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and gain a higher level of popularity.

Then, with the help of this popularity, the sequel to "Fate/Staynight", that is, the battle game system, will be released and the foundation will be sold for the second time.

However, of course, Sasuo's goal is not just to take a place in the gaming industry, he will take a slowly eroding approach to the path he wants to walk.

Now that you've come to this world, it's time for the animation industry to be reborn.

Staring at the bus schedule, it was estimated that there were still three minutes before the next car, and Sayu planned to use this gap to take a break.

"Don't worry, we have a new project here, so we're sorry, but we're going to terminate the sale."

"Is this a unilateral decision? As both parties, we all have a say in the game Fate/StayNight. ”

"Yes, but we do the sales, your right to speak is limited to opinions, and please let me finish the conversation."

On the other side, Nasu Takazu seemed to be looking for an explanation, and was silent for about five seconds.

When Sayu thought that the other party had quietly hung up, he heard Nasu Chonghe's voice.

"Did you see a post in the forum called Destiny Night?"

"Huh? I did see that. ”

Then it's easy to do, Nasu Chonghe on the other side said this, and raised his voice a lot.

No, his volume hasn't changed, it's just that Sayou feels that the other party has raised his voice, and it should be because he realized the correctness of the other party, so he felt it.

Many people will subconsciously realize that if there are leaders and ordinary people in front of them, the body will instinctively agree with the leader's decisions and voices, which is also a conditioned reflex in the potential human consciousness to agree with the 'right'.

It was with this reflex that Sayu heard Nasu Takazu's words clearly.

"Someone in that forum talked about your work, "Fate/Staynight" is a plagiarized work, and our company has also made an investigation and decision on this, and there are indeed some similarities in it."

“…… Do you also think it is plagiarism? If that's the case, there's no need to go on. ”

"You seem to have misunderstood."

Nasu Takazu really raised his voice on the other end of the phone, and the reason why he knew it was because of the slight pain coming from the vibrating eardrum.

The other party's voice is indeed very loud.

"We appreciate your work so much that it is impossible to terminate the contract for this, and according to that plagiarism incident, the temporary increase in bookings has allowed the number to break through the 300,000 mark, and once again increase to the original number."

"Has the number increased? It seems that a public opinion has played a role in fueling the flames, so should I be happy? ”

"Of course."

Nasu Takazu's voice slowed down a lot.

Sure enough, as I guessed, Sayou knew that once the plagiarism incident was perfectly resolved, if it was not expanded, it would only increase the popularity of "Fate/Staynight".

Due to the support of "Fate/StayNight" by the administrator [Horizon], many players and ordinary members have become interested in "Fate/Staynight" and want to get involved in other plots rather than just a demo version.

Isn't it stupid to cancel a sale in this regard?

"I want to ask again here why the sale was canceled."

"It's very simple, due to the large number of sales, all but some will be delivered, and the real date will be changed to noon the day after tomorrow."

"Oh? Noon the day after tomorrow? ”

"Yes, noon the day after tomorrow. Didn't you just say that there are a lot of them? We intend to fully support this game, so on that day, we will respond to the call of players and hold a live book signing. ”

"On-site book signings? That is, the one I want to go to the scene to sign and then sell? ”

"Yes, I hope you will definitely attend then, and we can meet you by the way, Mr. Sayou."

The tone of the other party did not allow refusal, and at the same time carried the meaning of request.

Isn't it too fast to hold a book signing session just after 'debut'?

And listen to Nasu say that this is the request of the players? Is it really so popular?

Holding his phone, Sasuke saw the car he was about to ride in parked in front of him, but he didn't sit on it.

Originally, I was going to go directly to them to theorize, but I didn't expect to see the signing situation.

Seeing the exhaust fumes from the car in the distance, Sayou rubbed his head with his hands after hanging up the phone, and didn't have to think about other things, since it had been decided, the signing party, just go to the scene for a while.
