Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 213 [FATE Tsunami]

"Well, although the game has just started, the background music is really good. Can you hear it? Oh, let me turn up the game sound louder."

In the crowded demo area on the second floor, Japanese female anchor Mengmengjiang adjusts the volume with the mouse while replying to friends with a Japanese clip tone. She had a sweet smile on her face, but she was murmuring inside.

The number of water friends who came to her live broadcast room today was very large, far more than double the usual number. Obviously, all this is due to Cheru Fuyukawa's celebrity status in the gaming circle and the limited number of trial slots.

This is a good thing, after all, she can get a lot of traffic, but the problem is that although she does not play the male-oriented Galgame, she is also a serious stand-alone game anchor. She clearly knows that Galgame is purely plot-driven. For games, it is very difficult to achieve a live broadcast effect.

And more importantly.
"A game like this actually offers a full trial trial? Doesn't that mean it's a free gift? Fufu, even though the old thief Fuyukawa is a top-notch villain, he still loves us players."

Mengmeng-chan pressed the handle and said with a smile, and as she spoke, various laughing and crying expressions appeared on the barrage.

"It must be because what Sekiro did was so disgusting, so he felt guilty (angry)."

"Begrudgingly forgive him (the suspicion) once."

"It's useless to feel guilty! Even if I give away a campus love game for free, the old Fuyukawa thief can't restore my wounded heart!"

"The quality of this game is indeed good. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into the CG aspect. The quality of Live2D is also very high. This must cost a lot of money (curious)"

"The old thief is just giving me a carrot after hitting him with a stick."

Mengmeng-chan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but at the same time, she also became more curious about Fuyukawa Che.

Fuyukawa Cheru is now very famous, and coupled with the [gimmick of the most content-rich Galgame in history] created by the Hawaii Game Alliance, major anchors and some players who were lucky enough to get trial numbers are very excited, and various kinds of Such voices appear endlessly in the demo room, and Mengmengjiang, as an UP owner with millions of fans, is naturally good at enlivening things.

"He was like this before. He made a sweet love game and then followed it with "The Binding of Isaac", and then released a farming game. According to this pattern, this game should also follow the healing trend."

That’s where the real money is made.

"The text is very comfortable to read. Hey, is this blue-haired male protagonist?"

"Excellent, my big Galgame! It's exactly what was said on the forum. After the meat pigeons and fighting games, the old thief from Fuyukawa is coming to rectify the Galgame world again! Looking forward to the next plot!"

If FATE does not cause strong feedback from the market, although she believes that Fuyukawa Che is a man who has the ability to face challenges and the tenacity to face failure, if possible, she still hopes that Fuyukawa Che can have smooth sailing.

To do this is actually quite exaggerated.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this Matou Sakura really a high school student? This figure is too foul!" After reading the text on the screen and looking at the D-cup Matou Sakura, Moemeng-chan showed a very unhappy look on her face. expression, and by the way, he looked down at his pair A.

Puzzled.

Not to mention the barrage friends, even Mengmeng-chan was very puzzled. Fuyukawa Che, who was sitting in a wheelchair in the corner and looking at the 18X Widow's Book, heard these conversations and looked up at Sayoko. Both of them knew how to My heart smiles.

"Want to try it?"

"I didn't expect her to be very good at drawing high school students. If nothing else, just the character drawing of Matou Sakura can fascinate a large number of people."

As an UP owner who specializes in stand-alone games, she knows that the early days of the Japanese game industry adopted the star producer model, so those game producers who are extremely powerful and have large amounts of publicity funds can gain phenomenal influence. , but times are different now.

The barrage scrolled rapidly, and the water friends were discussing it happily.

Although the star producer model can indeed gain a large number of fans, and even create the effect of fans in the entertainment industry, it is difficult to restrain game producers, and there is a risk of job-hopping. Therefore, the current marketing direction of major Japanese companies is company IP and game IP.

The barrage floated very fast, and some of them were very curious as to why Fuyukawa Che would give away the game directly, and it was the first release. After all, Galgame is purely plot-driven. As long as you have watched the plot once, unless you are a collector, there is no need for most players to buy the game. But Fuyukawa Che actually allowed the anchors of the trial live broadcast to play as they pleased.

It’s a very interesting scene, and the barrage started popping up again instantly.

All the women in the family know about Dongchuan Che's plan. At this time, she saw that the anchors in the trial area were all surprised because of the unlimited play. As she frantically interacted with the water friends, Sayoko's heart that had been hanging around gradually relaxed.

"Sister Yuzu, race high!"

"Well, when I get home at night, I have to kiss enough. And not only the mouth, but also all the way down."

At the thought of this, Sayoko's relaxed mood became tense again, and the little hands on Fuyukawa Che's shoulders became a little stiff. At this moment, Dongchuan Che patted the back of her hand and said with a smile: "Be confident, you are the woman I like."

The audience for a game like Galgame is narrower than that of a novel. Even if it is successful, it will be difficult to sell more than one million copies. For Fuyukawa Che, even if FATE's sales exceed two million or three million, it has no decisive significance to him. What he really wants is popularity and influence, and will contribute to FATE's film and television and mobile games. Chemical pave the way!

Fans and streamers are confused, which is normal, because he, Cheru Fuyukawa, really doesn’t expect to make any money from the main game of FATE.

"It is said that the cost is more than five times that of the mainstream Galgame, but that's normal. After all, it is a work that a maniac spent a year making (squint)."

"What a horny lady."

"It's over, we've been manipulated by him! (frog crying)"

"A high school girl who is pure, lustful and has a big D. I am going out to buy a disc right now (excited) (excited) (excited)"

"The combined production time of the four works "I Am Surrounded by Beauties", "The Binding of Isaac", "Diver Dave" and "Light Music Girl" is not this long"

She is a very conservative, traditional woman who is completely submissive to her man. However, although she will not have any interference in Fuyukawa Che's decision, she is still a little worried. After all, the company now has a lot of loans, all of which are short-term loans, and the repayment pressure is very high.

There were some middle school words, but after feeling the encouragement in Fuyukawa Che's eyes, Sayoko's mood gradually stabilized. Her gentle big eyes were full of love, and she said shyly, "Che Jun's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter now."

"By the way, wasn't there news that he is short of money now? The company building was bought with a loan, and now he is giving away games for free. What is he planning?"

"Yoshi, Matou Sakura, Matou Shinji, are they orthopedics?! (color)"

It was difficult for Galgame to create interactive effects. At first, she was worried that a large number of viewers would leave after entering the game. But what she never expected was that the water friends would be so enthusiastic and did not need much guidance from her. It was obvious that what the water friends were currently discussing was not the game FATE, but Fuyukawa Che.

"Have you seen the promotional video? The male protagonist has red hair!"

After tugging at Sayoko's red lips, Fuyukawa Che didn't go any further after her fingers were gently sucked for a moment. Instead, she leaned on the wheelchair with a smile and continued reading comics, while Sayoko helped him rub his shoulders and raised her eyebrows. Listen to the feedback from the trial area with your little ears.

"Now that the gimmick is out, let's see if the quality of the game can attract players. As for the plot, it will definitely be fine if Mr. Che personally handles it, but my painting skills"

"I'm kidding, Sister Youzi is a professional married woman. I bought her new book some time ago and it almost knocked me out."

In this era, without the blessing of large amounts of publicity funds, even if someone can suddenly become famous for a while, it will be difficult to maintain popularity for a long time. As far as she knows, or what everyone in the gaming circle knows, that is that Fuyukawa Che doesn't like marketing himself very much.

It can still arouse discussions among a large number of players without relying on character marketing. If you want to do this, you can only rely on hard power!
"He's a hit all over the place, tsk tsk tsk, he's such a scary man. But he's actually more handsome in real life than on TV."

He continued chatting with his friends, but in his mind he recalled the "surprising glimpse" at the elevator entrance when he came to the Holy Light Society to sign the contract a few days ago. Recalling the handsome man in a crisp suit, quietly waiting for the elevator door to close, Mengmengjiang also sighed somewhat like "I am rich, beautiful and talented, God is so unfair to other men."

This sigh did not last long. After all, she had never spoken to Fuyukawa Che, and she was an UP owner who was more eager to make money. She quickly brought her attention back to the live broadcast. It is obvious that as the live broadcast progresses, the barrage gradually begins to decrease.

Not only because FATE has long paragraphs of text, and fans who are watching it carefully do not have the time to post barrages, but also because the opening plot of FATE is very, very bland.

The prologue of FATE is from Rin Tosaka's first perspective, waking up in her room, and then going to school normally. During this period, several important characters such as Matou Sakura, Matou Shinji and Emiya Shirou appear.

It sounds normal to play the character directly at the beginning, but if you don't press the fast forward button and let the text be input automatically and listen to each dubbing, it will take forty minutes just to watch the prologue, and there is almost no plot in these forty minutes. It is the daily dialogue used to shape the character's personality.

Just using Tohsaka Rin as the first perspective to introduce the character takes forty minutes, which is why the reading threshold of Galgame is very high. It's not that the text or plot is difficult to understand, but that the pace of most Galgames is very, very slow.

It is true that the disadvantage of slow pace is that the excitement is too slow to progress, and the advantage is that slow pace is often easier to shape characters and shape the world view, but today's era is a fast-paced era.

Mengmengjiang's live broadcast room was at its peak popularity in the first half hour, but after thirty minutes, the popularity of the live broadcast room began to decline seriously!

Not only Mengmengjiang, but also all the anchors in the trial area, as well as FATE live broadcast rooms around the world, began to have this problem.

Panic, but don’t panic either. The decline in popularity is not a good thing, but for the anchor, it is normal for a game that has received commercial orders to die suddenly. As long as they are not forced to brag, it will not affect their careers, but
"The pace of this game is too slow and the plot is dull. I feel like something is going to go wrong!"

Seeing the declining popularity in the live broadcast room, Mengmengjiang was still interacting with friends with a smile on her face, but she was already starting to murmur in her heart.

Not only is she paying attention to the popularity of FATE, but all game manufacturers around the world are paying attention to this game. After all, this game also involves the competition between NICO handheld consoles and WS handheld consoles, and among other companies, the most concerned about this matter is The person is undoubtedly Sato Fujiko.
.
Office of the Marketing Director of SATE.

The female secretary quickly opened the door with a tablet and walked to the boss's desk, "Mr. Minister, the search popularity of the FATE keyword has begun to decline. There is nothing about [Cheru Fuyukawa's new work Violent Death] [Cheru Fuyukawa who left NTsoft] No] Such negative public opinions began to appear.”

Sato Fujiko was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with her elbows on the boss's chair and her fingers on her chin, her face gloomy, "Where did you buy the navy?"

"Currently, it seems that NTsoft and NICO are working together, but mainly NTsoft people."

The female secretary said seriously, and at the same time, she looked at Fujiko Sato with a lot of worry in her eyes. What she just reported was all about FATE, but the reason why she pays so much attention to FATE is because they don't have enough faith in their dragon era!

Age of Dragons is a classic IP of SATE. Coupled with SATE’s crazy money-spending promotion during this period, it has a bit of the [spirit] of 2077. Therefore, after the game was announced to be launched on the WS platform, the pre-sale was sold out. Millions of sets, but.
Their internal employees who are doing the actual work know that the polishing time for this game is too short. Although SATE's production capabilities are there, the probability of violent death is not too high, but it is not small. The significance of this work in Age of Dragons is threefold.

Make money, increase your stock price, and gain dominance in the Hawaii Gaming League!
From the current point of view, due to the large-scale publicity and the reputation of SATE that has accumulated praise for many years, the Age of Dragons has made money just like 2077. But the problem is that if Germany is not matched, there will be a backlash!
The reputation of a game company is very important.

For example, after 2077 was forced by investors to sell it as a semi-finished product, although its sales exceeded million in ten days and made a lot of money, the Polish Jackass also suffered a big plunge in reputation and stock. Investors withdrew their capital. It was also thanks to the practical employees of the Polish Donkey that they still had a conscience. It took several years of [free major updates] to gradually bring back the reputation.

In the same way, once the reputation of a large-scale production with the cost of Age of Dragons explodes, it will definitely be a heavy blow to SATE.

However, unlike the Polish Jackass, SATE has more well-known IPs than the Polish Jackass. Even if the reputation of Dragon Age explodes, it will not make SATE too uncomfortable and there is room to recover. But the problem is that this game will determine SATE's future voice in the Hawaii Game Alliance and the handheld field!

Once Age of Dragon's reputation explodes and the sales of WS handheld consoles are hindered, Juyin will definitely take action and let Monster Hunter reverse the purchase and put it on shelves in advance. But the price is that Shanmu will definitely be taken more shares by Juyin, and at the same time, Juyin will also get more say in the Hawaii Gaming Alliance!

This will directly affect SATE's entire strategic layout, and this is only at the macro strategic level. For Fujiko Sato, whether it is an explosion of word-of-mouth, a plunge in stock, or being marginalized by the Hawaii Gaming Alliance, all of these will lead to her being reduced from power by SATE!

She had to ensure the sales of the WS handheld console, otherwise she might run the risk of quitting, but now it's a done deal.

It is impossible to redo Dragon Age. She can only place her hopes on other manufacturers, hoping that a dark horse can emerge and pull Dragon Age away. As for this dark horse, it's best to be Fuyukawa Che.

It’s not just a personal emotional relationship, but she understands that the last thing in the Hawaii Game League is that Juyin is the only one. At the same time, there are those who have the potential to challenge Juyin, and who have the courage to stand on SATE’s side and challenge Juyin in the future. Only Fuyukawa Che, but now it seems.
"Bah ah ah ah ah ah! Those bastards on the board of directors! I have long said that there is no need to grab the first mover advantage, no need to grab the first mover advantage, and don't increase the publicity, don't use his grandma's publicity, it's better now, I will be scared if something happens. Let me take the blame! Baga! They are all a bunch of trash!"

It does not hurt the spring and mourn the autumn.

Although Fuyukawa Cheru did not come to save herself like a hero stepping on colorful auspicious clouds like in the story, Sato Fujiko was more or less a little disappointed, but she had a bad temper. Compared with being sad for spring and autumn, she was only sad at this time. I want to convene the board of directors, bury C4 under the board of directors, and finally send those old guys to the west!
Of course, this was just her inner roar.

As a leader, although she was very angry at this time, she knew better than to yell at this time, otherwise it would only send wrong information to her subordinates and make the whole situation even more out of control.

Taking a deep breath to calm down her emotions, Sato Fujiko took out a slender women's cigarette from the table, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and lit it elegantly, "How is the market response to other manufacturers' games?"

"The sales of several models are pretty good, but there are currently no signs of a hit model."

Having said this, the female secretary looked a little angry, "The game lineup of the Xiayou League this time is actually very strong, but most manufacturers have defected to Juyin, and they are all waiting for Juyin to say something."

Even though we knew there were problems with SATE's Age of Dragons, we still dared to release Age of Dragons in the first week. The reason is because this time the Hawaii Game League's game lineup is really strong. Even if the sales of the WS handheld console were dragged down by Dragon Age in the days before its launch, Juyin still has the confidence to make a turnaround later, and can enter the market at any time when it sees something is wrong.

The female secretary said unhappily, and at this moment, her cell phone rang, "Ms. Mary called."

Ms. Mary is Matri's female secretary, and when the other party calls at this time, there is no doubt that she is going to issue a notice.

Seeing the incoming call notification on her cell phone, the female secretary frowned and looked at Fujiko Sato inquiringly.

Fujiko Sato smoked a cigarette and looked at the skyscrapers outside the floor-to-ceiling windows with a gloomy look, "Take it."

"Hai. Hello, hello Ms. Mary, oh, like this"

After talking on the phone for a while, the female secretary hung up the phone, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly. She considered her tone and said bravely: "Juyin said that the console sales have not met expectations. If the situation does not improve within three days, they are prepared to enter the market early."

Get in early!

This will undoubtedly squeeze the space of Dragon Age, but more importantly, once Dragon Age fails, Giant Silver will have reason to attack SATE within the Hawaii Game Alliance, and even deprive SATE of the privilege of 1.5 votes!

"Three days?"

Rao had been forcing himself to calm down, but after hearing this answer, Sato Fujiko was still uncontrollably agitated. He unconsciously raised his right hand and scratched the back of his neck.

There is no way out!
She, Fujiko Sato, had discovered the problem a long time ago, so when she was in Hawaii, she went to lobby Fuyukawa Teru to push back the release date of the handheld console. And after confirming the release date of the handheld console, she originally considered having Age of Dragons released after the games of Juyin and Shanmu, thus leaving more time for the development team to polish.

But there is no way. Although she is a minister of a large factory that countless people tout, but in fact, in a top large factory with a plutocratic nature like SATE, the minister is nothing.

For example, Miyano Miwa was able to make all the changes in SATE. In addition to her outstanding ability, the more important reason was that the president of SATE at that time was from the marketing department and was willing to delegate power to the marketing department. But things are different now. The old president has taken a back seat, and the marketing department has less say at the top of SATE than before. What's more, Fujiko Sato has just been transferred back from the branch.

"I'm really too stubborn."

There were strong enemies outside and constraints inside. Fujiko Sato was a little tired and rubbed the back of his neck.

She actually knew the reason why Miyawa Miyano left SATE, but the reason why she was willing to return to the headquarters as the director of the marketing department was just to gain some steam. But now
The negative emotions accumulated during the past two years of internal and external difficulties are gradually becoming uncontrollable at this moment. At the same time, a strange thought suddenly flashed in her heart.

"It must be much easier for Miyano to work under that guy."

Looking at the skyscrapers outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Fujiko Sato fell into deep thought, and the ambiguous memories of her relationship with Che Fuyukawa in the Land Rover car two days ago flashed through her mind again.

It made no sense. She who was still very irritable suddenly felt a sense of relief and enjoyment, a kind of obscene enjoyment. At this moment, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and a woman wearing an OL uniform walked in quickly. Her face was full of joy, "Minister! The popularity of FATE has suddenly soared!"

"Nani?!"

A sudden surge in popularity?

Sato Fujiko was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on her face. She walked quickly to the woman and took the tablet. She saw that the red line representing FATE on the company's internal hot query app suddenly began to rise at five o'clock in the afternoon. !
At 12 o'clock, the popularity index was in the early 9000s. This popularity was very high. But after 12 o'clock, FATE's hot sales index began to decline a little bit. By 6000 o'clock, it had dropped to around . But just now, the popularity index exploded. !

It pulled back directly from 6000 to 9000, and at the same time it is still soaring with a curve of nearly degrees!

Normally, some games are indeed more popular after they are released than when they were first released, but this type of game is usually due to lack of exposure. The reason for the rising popularity is due to the fermentation of word-of-mouth, but FATE does not lack exposure at all. .

What's happening here? !

Fujiko Sato frowned and clicked on the red curve of FATE. The next moment, a large number of keywords popped up.

[Fate#Dongguan old thief, I will hack you to death! 】【Fate# Matou Sakura ending】[Fate#Fuyukawa old thief = Zang Yan! ][Fate#人 Animals are harmless Matou Shinji][Fate#It’s all Tokiomi’s fault][Fate#legs playing years][Fate#tax evasion].

Countless crimson keywords filled Sato Fujiko's big eyes that had completely lost their arrogance and coldness, only shock and surprise!
She didn't understand the meaning of these hot words, but the crimson color of these words pierced her heart like a sharp sword!

Crimson!
This is the most popular hot word color on the APP!

You must know that last year, "The Binding of Isaac" and "Dave the Diver" were two hit movies. There were only one or two hot search words in crimson, while FATE was all over the screen!

There is no doubt that although I don’t know what happened, it seems that as time goes by, as the plot of FATE advances little by little, and as all kinds of explosive plots continue to appear, this film is made by Fuyukawa Che who is crazily stacking materials and spending a lot of money at the same time. The promoted FATE finally received an explosion of word-of-mouth!

excitement!
Another village has a bright future!
As he kept scrolling down the APP and looking at the groups of data on the screen, Sato Fujiko became completely excited. However, what she was looking at were groups of data, but what came to mind was Fuyukawa Che's gentle and somewhat evil smile.

"That guy... huh, he still has some merits!"

She was arrogant at heart, but the smile on her lips betrayed Fujiko Sato's mood at this time. However, she did not dwell too much on this emotion. Instead, she immediately looked at the female secretary and said, "Go and follow up on FATE in real time." Sales! Also, move some of our offline stores! Contact that guy Miyano again!”

The sales of Age of Dragon have been difficult to increase, but now the key for SATE is to maintain its position in the Hawaii Game League. Moreover, she still has the right to give FATE more positions on the shelves, to link up with FATE more, and even to push FATE.

Soon, with the methodical command of Fujiko Sato, SATE's entire marketing department was fully operational. During her time of excitement and anticipation, the outside world also ushered in a tsunami called [FATE]!
