Displaying Japanese popular culture such as video games and animations during the opening ceremony is the way to promote Japan's commitment to the Olympic Organizing Committee.
Of course, when the Olympic Organizing Committee inspects a host city, it will not just look at publicity methods. They will also inspect a city's overall appearance, living conditions, hosting conditions, drug control and many other details.
For Japan, a country that has hosted the Olympic Games, these trivial matters are not a problem at all. They have already had experience in dealing with them. Coupled with the unique opening ceremony method that impressed everyone, they finally impressed the Olympic Organizing Committee.
.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese government quickly organized an Olympic Games Organizing Committee group, which will be responsible for many matters related to the hosting of the Olympic Games.
For the then prime minister, hosting the Olympics was a life-saving straw.
Japan has greatly boosted the national economy by hosting the Olympic Games before, and this time they want to repeat this glory.
However, in Zhu Yuxing's view, this kind of thing will never happen again. The last time Japan used the Olympic Games to boost the national economy, it was because the whole people were in the wave of development, and the Olympic Games were like a catalyst.
, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the people and made development more rapid.
Now, Japan is in an overall downward trend, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to recover the economy by relying on the Olympic Games.
But this doesn't have much to do with Takeyusei. He only cares about video games. Politicians will take care of Japan's economy, at least it won't affect him.
However, with the current popularity of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, these people in the traditional literary and art circles simply cannot compete and can only give up their intervention in the opening ceremony with reluctance.
But fortunately, there are already many players who are very interested in the game itself. Even if it is not promoted, there are still many people who support it, which can also give the Tenth Development Department some peace of mind.
After settling the matter of the Olympic Games, the time has come to December.
Sekiro, on the other hand, waited until mid-November to complete development. In the end, the time for cassette production was quite tight, and the cooperating publicity and distribution work was not as reliable as Ghost of Tsushima.
However, Zhu Yuxing is more concerned about the Olympics.
If two or three years ago, or even five or six years ago, once Youxing Electronic Entertainment's first-party games were ready for release, people queuing up would usually form a unique landscape in an area.
He wants to see a perfect opening ceremony, it's that simple.
"Store manager, it looks like we won't be too busy today. There are only so many people here."
He is definitely not as good as a professional in organizing the Olympic opening ceremony, but he only needs to forcefully drive away some people when they want to get involved in the opening ceremony.
This can be regarded as fulfilling his incomplete dream of the original world.
This time there are generally not many people queuing up to buy the game.
However, the number of people queuing up this year was much smaller than before.
A store clerk was holding a game cartridge and placing it on the shelf while chatting with the store manager next to him.
Throughout the day, the average sales volume of each store was only 20,000 to 30,000.
"I heard some news recently."
But this time, there were far fewer people buying the game than expected.
Because he really wanted to see a perfect opening ceremony for modern cultural entertainment such as video games and animation.
Then the development team also worked hard with the publicity team to promote the game. In terms of publicity, Ghost of Falklands is obviously better.
At the same time, the truck at the back of the store is always on standby. If something goes wrong, it will immediately drive to the production base and customs to pick up the goods to ensure the supply of physical cassettes.
When the store door opened, people entered the store in an orderly manner to make purchases. The busy buying scene expected by these clerks did not happen.
They all came here today to buy the two games released today.
Now it seems that it is indeed not as busy as expected, and they even have time to chat now.
Ghost of Tsushima completed all game development in early October. After all, this game is a standard canned open world game. There are basically no technical problems to overcome, and the game only needs to be developed step by step.
Regarding this request, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has become the biggest supporter of Zhuyouxing. They believe that this is a perfect cooperation opportunity for both parties. It is best for both parties to give in and work together to host a perfect Olympics.
the result of.
The store manager nodded without hesitation and said: "Of course it needs to be reported. Under normal circumstances, we will definitely report the specific sales of the game to them once a day, but I will call other stores first."
However, this has caused dissatisfaction among some people in Japan's traditional literary and art circles, because they also want to promote Japan's traditional culture through the Olympic Games.
However, it is only 2013, and there are still seven years left before preparations for hosting the Olympic Games begin. There is no need to be too anxious about this matter, but Zhu Youxing needs to have absolute say in advance to avoid anyone affecting his plans.
The store manager looked at the crowd coming in and looked a little solemn: "Well, there are indeed not many people. What is going on?"
The store manager walked to the back of the store, then picked up the phone and contacted other physical stores that were also selling video games.
In early December, many people were queuing up in front of physical video game sales stores in the United States, Japan, Europe and other countries, waiting for the stores to open.
His reason is that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will provide all the cultural IP of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment free of charge to promote Japanese culture, and he will become one of the main talkers at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
"Then do we need to report this to the superior?" the clerk asked.
Therefore, as soon as the Olympic Games Preparatory Committee was formed, Zhu Youxing asked himself to become one of the decision-makers of the committee.
"what news?"
On average, these stores have prepared more than 50,000 copies of the two games Tsushima and Sekiro.
And the answers he got were almost the same.
But surprisingly there were a lot less people.
"It seems that the supply of physical cassettes in our physical stores this time is actually not as large as previously expected. This time we just prepared trucks as usual to go to the factory and customs to pick up the goods at any time, but it is said that the supply of goods actually provided by the factory and customs
It’s less than half of what it used to be.”
"So much less? Then it seems like the parent company has already anticipated this? Do the two game parent companies expect that sales will not be very good?"
"Hmm...I don't know much about this, I just heard rumors."
"Forget it, I'll report the data when the sales end today. Anyway, this kind of sales data is managed by the people above. Let's just take care of the normal sales of games."
