The young man was invited into Zhu Youxing's office with permission. He was very excited.
This is the first time to get up close and personal with the producers who create countless fine games.
This is similar to ordinary people chasing stars.
"Hello, President Takeyu, my name is Murakami Kazuo, I'm really glad to meet you."
Murakami Kazuo's eyes were shining.
At this time, Takeyusei was holding a bunch of information that Murakami Kazuo had brought over, pretending to study it carefully.
In fact, he already knew almost everything about this forum before.
When Kazuo Murakami took the initiative to speak, Takeyusei put down the information and looked at the child in front of him with a smile.
"Sit down, don't be formal, just think of me as a big brother, not a company president."
"Okay!" Kazuo Murakami sat down opposite Takeyusei obediently, his eyes unable to conceal his admiration.
"I've probably read your information. I guess you mean you want to be eligible to experience the game in advance?"
"Yes, now I have many fans. If I can experience the complete game in advance, it will be easier to guide the game direction to the players who support me. I think this will be a very helpful method for the game industry.
, just like film critics and drama critics, games also need sufficiently professional evaluators, so that the game industry will develop more healthily."
Kazuo Murakami talked about his content in a clear and logical manner.
Most of them were taught to him by Zhu Youxing on the Internet using the trumpet.
But Zhu Youxing, the person who controls the overall situation, is still acting decently.
"This is indeed a good publicity channel. I am very interested, but I see in your information that you must be absolutely neutral. You will treat any game fairly?"
"Yes, this is my principle." Kazuo Murakami nodded and said.
Zhu Youxing shook his head: "But if we make a bad game, and then we give it to you in advance, and you spray it all over your body, causing our sales to decrease, then wouldn't our promotion purpose be completely useless? On the contrary, there will be a backlash
Effect? Then why should I seek publicity from you?"
Kazuo Murakami said seriously: "No, President Takeyu, you may have misunderstood. My original intention is to hope that the entire game industry will develop healthily."
"The game industry needs a group of people who are neutral enough. They are not serving a certain game manufacturer, but serving the better development of the game industry and serving all players. After all, players are the foundation."
"If bad games become popular due to collecting black money, I think the game industry will be destroyed sooner or later. I like video games and I don't want such an interesting thing to be destroyed. I think, President Zhuyou, you are the person who created the game industry.
You should have the same idea as me, right? Otherwise, I think with the current scale of your Famicom, you can make more money at a lower cost, but then the game industry will be ruined."
Zhu Youxing smiled: "The ideas you mentioned are very novel, but I don't think you, a child, can think of so many things. There should be someone behind you teaching you this, right?"
Kazuo Murakami shook his head: "It is indeed what you thought, President Takeyu. Someone taught me this. It's just that he doesn't like to stand in front of the stage. He always claims to be a pure gamer. He only plays games and doesn't want to
I am involved in this kind of thing, so I have full authority to represent him."
Takeyusei took a deep look at Kazuo Murakami, and then said: "As you said, I really hope that the game industry can continue to prosper. At least what you said has touched my heart, but I still love you
With all the reservations I said, we won’t make bad games anyway. If you just want to be able to play some games in advance, that’s fine.”
Kazuo Murakami felt happy.
Did you successfully convince the president?
He thought it would be difficult to come.
"But..." Zhu Youxing spoke again.
Murakami Kazuo's heart skipped a beat. Are there any additional strict requirements?
If it is a request that touches the bottom line, he must grit his teeth and refuse, even if he may lose the qualification to play in advance. This is what Mr. Nintendo taught him, and he also thinks it is correct.
"However, remember your words and remain absolutely neutral. I hope you can do what you say. Also, it's okay to play in advance. I hope the review is a review, but absolutely no spoilers. You can comment on the gameplay and you can comment.
The general content of the game, but the only thing is that it must not be spoiled. You should understand that this is as abominable as watching a TV show."
"I can completely guarantee this!" Kazuo Murakami could no longer conceal his joy at this time.
Did you just ask for confidentiality? That's absolutely fine. I will be as careful as possible when reviewing before it is released, and I will not reveal anything that I shouldn't say casually.
Also, even if Zhu Yuxing doesn't say anything, he will insist on his neutrality, and even a huge amount of money cannot make him sway.
This is his belief and persistence in video games.
Of course, Zhu Youxing also instilled this aspect into him on the Internet at the beginning.
Anyway, Zhu Youxing has been determined to cooperate with him from the beginning, so the conversation just now was more like a test on his part to see if the child would waver. At least there seems to be no such sign now.
However, people will always change, and no one can say what the future will be like, so just stay in the present for the time being.
"I happen to have a game on hand that is about to be released, so I can review it for you in advance."
"Is it Dragon Quest 3?" Kazuo Murakami leaned forward slightly.
He had already watched the trailer of Dragon Quest 3 several times on the Internet. He was already excited about the plot, story and gameplay, and wished he could play it now.
"Dragon Quest? No, no, no, this is not enough. If you want to play it in advance, there is no limit. Dragon Quest is our highlight. If you want to experience it in advance, you need to wait at least ten days before it is released."
Kazuo Murakami was slightly disappointed after hearing this. He thought he could play in advance.
There is still one month left before the official release, and he feels like his days are just like a year, and he really wants to play it as soon as possible.
I will die without playing the latest Dragon Quest. This is probably the inner thoughts of many loyal Dragon Quest players now.
"So, President Zhuyou, what game do you plan to let me review in advance?"
"This game is an intermediate pastime game called Pac-Man. It will be released in the next few days. There is no plot in this game. It is just pure entertainment. You can review it as much as you like. You can say whether it is fun or not. We will not
will prevent it.”
Unexpectedly, there would be an unexpected surprise today, and Murakami Kazuo was very happy.
Even if it's not Dragon Quest 3, it's still worth it.
"Okay, I will review it carefully and try to publish an article about this game on the forum as soon as possible."
Kazuo Murakami believed that this should be a test for himself by President Takeyu to see if he could be qualified to review the game. He had already made up his mind to complete this first time of his own.
Advance game review.
"Okay, later the legal department will draft a confidentiality contract. The conditions of this confidentiality contract are very strict. Even your closest people cannot let them play casually, because before the game is officially released, the game cartridge still belongs to us.
If you use electronic entertainment property to play with anyone without your permission, even if you are a child, you will still be sued."
"I understand, even if it is my father, I will never show it to him."
Zhu Youxing nodded, and then suddenly remembered something. He said: "By the way, I remember that there was an article in your information that reviewed Surui Electronics' Sun Knight."
"Yes, that game is the only fun game on the PN console." Murakami Kazuo nodded.
Does this Zhuyou president have any objections to this?
"I noticed that the article you reviewed introduced that this game has been developed for at least three months. This seems to be a relatively secret information now. You seem to have some channels to learn these secret information. Could it be that it is also a behind-the-scenes teaching?
What did your man tell you?"
"This... is not." Kazuo Murakami shook his head, "Actually... it is my father. My father is an employee of Surui Electronics. Now his job is actually a game player at Surui Electronics.
Developer."
Oh well, there is an unexpected gain.
No wonder this kid knows a lot about video games. His father is doing this job now. Under the influence, he will naturally be exposed to more game-related information.
"President Zhuyou, do you think my father's identity will be more sensitive?"
Kazuo Murakami felt a little regretful after he confessed.
If you tell the truth yourself, what if Zhu Youxing is dissatisfied with such a sensitive identity? It would feel very inappropriate for a child of a Suri Electronics employee to take the initiative to discuss cooperation with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
"Sensitive? That's not the case. I don't have that many worries. But in this case, you'd better abide by the contract more strictly. Under the confidentiality contract, you must not bring the game card to any unauthorized person for inspection and review before it is officially released.
Playing, do you understand?"
"Yeah, I understand."
"Okay, then you wait for a while. After the legal department drafts a confidentiality contract, you can leave with the test game cartridge. How many people are you testing now?"
"Now, there are only two people, one is the person behind the scenes, and the other is myself. Among them, I will be mainly responsible for writing game review articles."
"Okay, you must also be strict with the other person and not leak secrets casually, otherwise our legal department will not be polite."
Kazuo Murakami reassured him again, and then he suddenly looked shy.
"Well, President Zhuyou, I have one more request. I wonder if you will agree to it."
"you say."
"Can we take a picture together?"
At this time, Murakami Kazuo took out a camera from his bag and looked at Takeyusei expectantly.
"Also, if possible, I would also like to get your autograph. Would you mind?"
Being so close to your idol, it would be a shame not to take a photo with you.
