Director Kubo smiled and said: "President Takeyu, this is also very good for you. With your ability in making games, the new games you create will definitely be great, so you will definitely not lose."
Zhu Youxing didn't feel much at all.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose.
But if you can really make those bad-mouthed screenwriters feel embarrassed, it will be refreshing.
But in fact, Zhu Youxing has already roughly seen through the essence of this so-called bet.
As for those screenwriters and ghost writers, they didn't really intend to make this bet at all, otherwise they wouldn't just say whoever has more influence will win, which seems to be a very vague way of judging the outcome.
What kind of influence does this influence mean?
Are movies and TV series influential?
Zhu Youxing is not a film and television drama producer, so how could he have the influence of a film and television drama?
What is the influence of the game?
Several screenwriters have not made games, so how can they have the influence of games?
social influence?
This is also difficult to judge.
Unless it is really a crushing level of influence.
But this is also difficult to do.
That's why Zhu Youxing didn't take it too seriously at first and said they should do their job well and don't do anything stupid. It's just a waste of time.
"President Zhuyou, actually I came here for a purpose today. Do you want to make those screenwriters more frustrated?"
Zhu Youxing raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"Of course I want to overthrow those screenwriters, or to use their fame to rise to the top. After all, our influence at TV Tokyo is still a bit lacking. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to rise to the top, we would be happy to do so."
Zhu Youxing suddenly asked with some confusion: "Then what do you want to do?"
"Well, didn't you originally want to develop a game adaptation of a legal drama with NHK? Since the other party refused, I was thinking, how about President Zhuyu consider us?"
Zhu Youxing was stunned: "Considering you? Do you have any legal dramas recently?"
"Of course not, but we can produce a film and television series adapted from your work of the same name. What do you think? And isn't this a request from the Japanese government? So I thought I could also give it a try on Japanese Conquest.
The favorability of our TV Tokyo."
The word "favorability", which is exclusive to games, has become more and more popular in society recently.
Game vocabulary such as finding bugs, beating bosses, leveling up, and improving favorability are sometimes used in casual conversations and are quite suitable for the current language environment.
Director Kubo is a person who likes to accept new things, so he also likes to use the word "favorability level".
This kind of vocabulary also makes it easier for people to understand some behavioral purposes.
Zhu Yuxing's heart moved: "Do you want to make an adaptation of Ace Attorney?"
"Hmm, is your new game called Ace Attorney? The name is interesting. Yes, that's my idea. I want to see if I can make a TV series adaptation of your game."
This... is not impossible.
Zhu Youxing thought so in his heart.
In the previous life, Ace Attorney did not have a real film and television adaptation.
But the story itself is actually very good and is very suitable for adaptation into a TV series.
But it's just a fan-oriented adaptation, and it's still incomparable to those truly top-notch Japanese dramas.
Grain Hook
The great thing about Ace Attorney is that this work is a game.
In the game circle, Ace Attorney is unique, so it is very representative, and the gameplay also gives people a sense of participation for the first time like truly becoming a lawyer.
But if it is put into a TV series, the form of expression will be completely different.
This may also be the reason why many game adaptations of film and television dramas, as well as film and television dramas adapted from games, are generally garbage.
Because these two different cultural carriers have different forms of expression.
Sometimes it would be weird to copy a textbook-level expression in a game to a movie or TV show.
Vice versa is also true.
However, why does it have to be adapted into the plot of Ace Attorney?
Wouldn’t it be great to make a hot enough lawyer-like drama?
For example, the famous Japanese drama "Victory is Justice" in the previous life is also the so-called Li Gou Hai.
This film and television work in Japan in the previous life is quite well-known after the 21st century.
If this kind of work were placed in the golden age of TV dramas, it would be enough to become a popular national drama with a ratings of over 40%.
The descriptions of lawyers and the origins and transitions of various cases are quite exquisite. It can also be regarded as a textbook for legal dramas in film and television dramas.
Naturally, this level of hit drama Bamboo Youxing has been followed carefully.
So even if he doesn't understand screenwriting methods in the film and television industry, if he just explains it to Kubo through the game script, it will probably be pretty good.
"Go on." Zhu Yuxing asked Kubo to continue talking about his thoughts while his mind was thinking rapidly.
"I thought so."
Kubo coughed twice and continued, "I think we will announce the adaptation of your Ace Attorney next. Of course, we can adapt it in any way according to your requirements. I'm afraid those writers would not have thought that you would do this, like Your game and the TV series written by those screenwriters are in different industries, so it is naturally difficult to tell the winner. But if the TV series I adapted from your game has achieved a certain response, and has the quality of the film and TV series that is not inferior to the other party, Coupled with the excellent level of the game you made, President Zhuyou, this is equivalent to two against one, and the chance of victory is very high."
This idea is quite interesting.
Zhu Youxing had never thought about it before.
Is this a righteous two against one?
I like.
Zhu Youxing thought he could do something about it.
The other party never said anything about the rules of the bet, they just talked about the consequences of who wins and who loses, and there are very vague rules and restrictions.
Then there is a lot of room for maneuverability.
It is indeed a good idea to adapt a TV series to expand another level of influence.
"President Zhuyou, what do you think of this plan? I am actually considering my own interests, and I am borrowing from you, President Zhuyou, so I still hope to get your approval."
"I agree."
"ah?"
Zhu Youxing said again: "I agree, but I have other requirements."
Director Kubo was quite happy. He said it very straightforwardly, so he was prepared for Takeyusei to reject it, but Takeyusei accepted it simply. It seemed that his idea was correct.
Zhu Yuxing seems to be very calm, but in fact he also has a desire to win and lose.
"President Zhuyou, just ask if you have any requests."
"The script for the Ace Attorney game cannot be used directly by you, because it is a script that is only suitable for games. It would be weird to force it into a TV series. Therefore, I will try to prepare another script outline for you recently. Your screenwriter
We can write a new story based on this outline and link it with our story."
