21 December 1990.

Friday.

A journalist came to the Pokeni company with a photographer.

The reporter's name is Reiko Katayama, and she is from "Karaku Game Communication".

The publication, which was launched in April this year, is mainly aimed at game lovers, and is published once a week, with reviews and reports on new and well-known games, accompanied by pictures and captions.

That said, Korgol actually covers almost every game, and the content is quite varied.

There is no way, compared to Famitong, the newly established publication of Guoletong is simply a small ant in front of an elephant, which is insignificant at all.

Small companies have their own ways of survival, such as Pokeni, which relied on the ingenious galgame game to avoid the edge of the big manufacturers, but survived smoothly, not only survived but also fought a bloody way.

And the same is probably true of Fruit, which is reported by many major magazines, although they will also report it, but the main space is used to publish those buried game masterpieces that no one cares about.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a treasure digger.

But there are too few such games, and they are generally relatively niche, so the current operation situation of Guoletong is also very difficult.

In order to survive as much as possible, Guoletong is also quite hard, Famitong is a bi-weekly, and Guoletong is a weekly, with a large amount of content, complete information, and fast updates are also their advantages.

This time, the reason why I wanted to come to Pokeni for an interview was mainly because of the popularity of "Onmyoji 2", a series of games that drove the entire galgame market, and it can be said that it is a phenomenal product.

So Reiko Katayama is like coming to have some in-depth understanding of the producers behind the scenes, and it can also play a certain role in publicity.

For Pokeni and Guoletong, it is both two-way mutual benefit, and Qingzhiyuan has no reason not to agree.

So far, no media has conducted a similar interview with the Onmyoji team, perhaps because although Pokeni has made two good works, there is still a certain gap between them and the first-tier game manufacturers.

You know, many big magazines don't come to interview you, but you have to take the initiative to make an appointment for an interview, after all, the final publicity results will help sales.

But Qing Zhiyuan has always been very busy, and now that the sales performance is very good, he will slack off.

So, Guo Letong smelled a glimmer of opportunity, and quickly took advantage of this gap to make an appointment with Qing Zhiyuan for an interview.

……

After coming to Pokeni, Reiko Katayama first introduced herself and got to know the main staff of Pokeni.

She was a little surprised by Qing Zhiyuan's youth and handsomeness, and even her heartbeat accelerated a little when she spoke.

"President Youth. May I venture to ask how old you are this year? ”

"Twenty-six up." Qing Zhiyuan replied.

"Huh?" Katayama was slightly stunned and nodded, "President, you are really young and promising." ”

"Where, where." Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Seriously, Katayama has interviewed the presidents of many companies, but he has never seen such a young person as Qing Zhiyuan.

Especially a handsome face, which makes people's hearts beat inexplicably.

Qing Zhiyuan took her to visit the company's working environment, and took some employees' work photos.

Having said that, there is really nothing to visit, and the total number of people in the current Pokeni team is more than 20 people, and everyone has workstations next to each other, so you can see the whole picture at a glance.

Even if it was the president's separate office, it was barely enough to put a table.

Compared to other companies, Pokeni is a bit shabby.

Fortunately, the enthusiasm of the employees is very high, and the great success of Onmyoji 2 is equivalent to a big victory.

Because I knew in advance that there would be a reporter to interview today, everyone was dressed like 2580,000 yuan.

Even the two sisters in the company, Mika Ishino and Akane Ayase, all wore delicate makeup.

Those who know know that this is a game company, but those who don't know think they have entered a nightclub.

……

After taking some short videos of the game's production process, photos of the game's original art, and photos of the employees' work, a few people went to the small conference room.

Here, Reiko Katayama will conduct an in-depth interview with Seichiwon.

Of course, in addition to Qing Zhiyuan, there are also two script authors of Onmyoji-

Mika Ishino and Gen Xubuchi.

These two newcomers, facing the camera for the first time, can be said to be nervous with the naked eye, sitting upright, and their palms are sweaty.

"The sales of Onmyoji 2 this time can be said to be very powerful. Some industry insiders agree that the Onmyoji series ushered in a new era of galgame.

In addition to benefiting from the beautiful graphics and lovable character design, the story aspect is also impressive. ”

Katayama looked at Mika Ishino, "I would like to ask, Ishino-san, how did you come up with the idea of writing such a story?" ”

"Me?"

Mika Ishino was stunned for a moment and looked back at Qing Zhiyuan.

This copywriter girl, when she doesn't usually drink, is as timid as a mouse, and she belongs to the quiet and small type.

It's hard to imagine being a different person when you're drunk.

Qing Zhiyuan responded to her with encouraging eyes, this time you just rush, I just come to the palace.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's not so much the story I thought, but the credit of the president." Mika Ishino said seriously, "At the beginning, the president provided the core of the story, and I changed the background of the game that was supposed to be an ancient Chinese style and became a well-known onmyoji.

The core of the president's story is really touching.

It's just that I ended up writing it out with my hands. Mika Ishino replied truthfully.

In the whole production process of the game, if there is anything she says, it is nothing more than this background of the Onmyoji and the gorgeous and soulless rhetoric.

Because the soul comes from Qingzhiyuan.

She had the privilege of being the first reader, or the first player, long before the game was still in the planning book.

Looking back now, I still have the emotion in my heart when I saw Zhao Ling'er going to die.

Mika Ishino's answer made Reiko Katayama unable to fix it.

I didn't expect the author of this script to give the president face like this.

She pursed her lips and smiled, exclaiming, "Miss Ishino is really...... is a very humble person. ”

In these years, it is rare to attribute success to subordinates who are not arrogant and attribute success to their superiors.

Mika Ishino rolled the corner of her eyes, indicating that I was telling the truth.

……

The interview lasted for more than three hours in total, and both Mika Ishino and Gen Kubuchi left a deep impression on Katayama.

Both script writers are unusually young, especially Xuan Xuyuan, who is only 18 years old this year.

It's hard to imagine a work as mature and tight as Onmyoji 2 from the hands of an 18-year-old boy.

The future of this guy is limitless.

It's almost dinner time, and the interview is coming to an end.

Katayama said:

"That...... President, if it's convenient, we would like to give an exclusive interview with the producer [Furuhara Tsubaki]. ”

This is actually the main purpose of the trip.

The producer of Tsubaki Furuhara is so mysterious that no one knows what he looks like so far.

Even at the player symposium, the Furuhara Tsubaki who was supposed to attend was absent due to general reasons, and the players were very curious about the true identity of the Furuhara Tsubaki.

If you can successfully interview Furuhara Tsubaki, then for Guoletong, it is undoubtedly an excellent exclusive information.

"Huh?!"
