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

The explosion of "Fate" was actually within Fuyukawa Tetsu's expectations. In other words, he was not sure how popular "Fate" would be in this world, but he knew that the performance of this animation would definitely not be bad.

The reason is that "Fate" does have many characteristics of a hegemonic show, such as excellent character design, ups and downs in the plot, the exaggerated production cost of 3000 million yen per episode, and the gimmick of the subject matter.

A very clever point about "Fate" is that it uses the skins of many historical celebrities and legendary and mythical figures.

To put it simply, ordinary viewers would probably be confused when hearing about "Holy Grail War", but if they heard about Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, Miyamoto Musashi fighting Oda Nobunaga, Apollo fighting Socrates, Goblin fighting Joan of Arc, and some of these characters were even feminized.

There is no doubt that although these gimmicks cannot pull a bad movie out of the quagmire, they are enough to give the audience the curiosity to click in and watch.

The gimmicks and images are the cover, while the plot and characters are the core.

"Fate" has achieved top standards in these aspects, so even if many viewers of this era don't like dark and cruel plots, this animation is unlikely to die violently. In addition, there are actually no knives in the UBW line. The main plot revolves around Rin Toosaka, and there are very few plots related to Sakura.

All the elements to become a hit are there!

"Fate" immediately caused a sensation as soon as it was released!

Not to mention the popularity in China. Since the release of the animation, "Fate" has dominated the animation sections of almost all websites. Various promotional videos spontaneously made by the audience, and some anime area UP hosts have begun to make related videos, and the popularity has exploded.

As for Japan, it is even crazier!

The physical Blu-ray disc of "Fate" sold 4.7 copies in the first week, setting the highest record for the first-week sales of Blu-ray discs in the history of Japanese animation!

What makes all "Fate" fans even more excited is that Toru Fuyukawa also changed the poster on the red outer wall of the Holy Light Society!

The office building poster in Akihabara is a landmark. Previously, there was only a huge poster of Sakura Matou on the left side of the building, but amid the screams of countless fans, on a sunny summer afternoon, huge posters of Saber and Rin Tousaka were added next to the huge poster of Sakura Matou!

Three huge posters, directly showing the trend to fans!

Needless to say, as soon as the poster appeared, the company building of Shengguang Society immediately became a check-in spot for fans.

There is always a long queue at the House of Holy Light downstairs every day, with cosplayers coming to take photos, players coming to buy the physical collector's edition, and some passers-by just joining in the fun.

It is very lively. Since the broadcast of the "Fate" animation, the House of Seikou has been very busy every day. As the store manager, Amei is so tired that she can't straighten her back and is getting thinner and thinner, which makes it impossible for Kawaguchi to concentrate at work.

However, although the "Fate" animation became very popular, because UBW actually does not have too many knives, an interesting scene appeared.

Everyone in the gaming circle knows that Tokawa Che likes to give out knives. The plot of the Fate game is indeed about knives, and the favorite thing for the small circle is to recommend it to friends.

Before watching Fate, many anime fans who were recommended to it by their friends had the mentality of "I want to see how sharp your knife is." After watching the entire series, although the word of mouth was overwhelmingly good, at this time of explosive popularity, some strange and masochistic voices gradually appeared in major forums and communities.

[What? The plot of this show is indeed very good, but it is not at all a good show. You game geeks are really too hypocritical. You dare to call it a good show? Do you want me to recommend you some real "healing shows"?]

[What about that old thief Dongchuan? He's obviously just a show-off. After watching the whole show, I didn't feel heartbroken at all (calm). ]

[As expected, game geeks still need more practice. They can’t stand such a small scene (Doge)]

It should be said that the Internet is indeed a magical place, with all kinds of people and any strange topics can be discussed. Just as the popularity of "Fate" is getting higher and higher, and the competition between the original game fans and the animation fans is getting more and more intense, the Holy Light Society dropped a super bomb!

The Holy Light Company will produce "Fate/zero", "Fate/stay night" (06 version Saber line) and "Fate/Heaven's Cup" at the same time!

Starting with "Fate/zero", all three works will be broadcast from October this year to June next year!

shocked!

A sequel coming out so soon?!

And all three parts are released together?!

Everyone was stunned. It was the first time they saw a guy like Dongchuan Che doing such a mess. After a short period of stunnedness, the otakus in the animation and gaming circles were all excited!

Especially for game geeks, those who have played the original Fate game know that there are actually three lines in Fate, namely Saber line, Rin line and Sakura line. And for most fans of the original game, Sakura line actually has a better reputation because this line is more shocking!

They can't wait to make those anime fans who clamored that "Fate is not good enough" pay the price, not to mention, there is also "Fate/zero"!

This is a prequel that is not even in the game!

Needless to say, on the day when Toru Fuyukawa announced the news, everyone who had watched Fate became excited!

Compared to the audience and players, colleagues in the Japanese animation industry were very helpless when they heard that Toru Fuyukawa was launching three animations at once.

A helpless smile.

There is no other reason. The animation industry seems to have a great influence, but in fact, unless it is a long animation like Dead Fire that spans more than ten years, the production cost of the animation is completely incomparable to that of the game, especially the production cost of 3A stand-alone games.

The current standard in the Japanese animation industry is around 1000 million to 2000 million yen.

Nowadays, most anime series have 12 or 26 episodes per season. Even if we round it up to 30 episodes and add in the publicity and promotion costs, the production cost of an anime series is less than 8 million yen, or million US dollars. However, Toru Fuyukawa now makes tens of millions of dollars for his games.

Not a dimension.

To people in the animation industry, launching three works at the same time is extremely exaggerated and will bring great financial pressure to the company, but for Toru Dongchuan now, it is just a drop in the bucket.

However, apart from the wry smiles, many employees in the Japanese animation industry are also very much looking forward to it!

There is no other reason. To launch three works at the same time, more production capacity is definitely needed, and this means that the Iron Triangle Studio, which is a merger of Bamboo Studio and Vanilla Studio under Toru Fuyukawa, must further recruit employees!

Toru Fuyukawa has a great reputation in the industry.

Although the work intensity under Dongchuan Che is notoriously high, he is also willing to spend money.

As long as you are capable enough and can pass the first month's high-intensity probation period, the subsequent base salary and welfare subsidies will be half a level higher than the highest level in the industry, and there is no upper limit on the bonus. Moreover, because of the flat management, there is no seniority system within the company. Those with strong abilities will be promoted, and those with weak abilities will be demoted.

To put it bluntly, Holy Light Society is now a beacon in the industry. Unless they are very senior working emperors with a lot of interests tied to their original companies, few workers do not want to join Holy Light Society.

Needless to say, the day Toru Fuyukawa announced the expansion of Audio-Technica Studios, the entire animation industry was in an uproar. There were so many resumes submitted that it was impossible to read them all, so Fujiko Sato, who was in charge of this area, had to work overtime every day.

When working overtime, it is natural to replenish energy.

In order to compensate this young woman, Dongchuan Che would go to the Sistar building every few nights with midnight snacks to have a chat with her, and then comfort her with a few words.

After working overtime until late at night, the beloved man came to her house with midnight snacks. This already touched Sato Fujiko, who had fallen in love, very much, and what touched her even more was that Toru Fuyukawa, who was always very violent during sex, became very gentle during this period.

Gently rub and apply the peach.

Dongchuan Che was worried that the violence would be too much and her body would not be able to withstand the overtime work and late nights every day.

However, this made Sato Fujiko's love even stronger.

Many times, when they were standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the dim lights of Tokyo at night under the blazing headlights of large cars, he would raise his horse and ride it, and finally they would snuggle on the sofa together to drink a little wine and chat for a while.

It's a great life. Both of them like this feeling very much. What's more interesting is that

A few days after employees from the animation industry came to submit their resumes, an old friend of Sumitomo Bank, Hiroshi Hanzawa, the husband of Yoshiko Oishi, one of Miyano Mitsuko's close friends, came to the door.

There is no other reason, I just want to lend money to Dongchuan Che.

It should be said that the loan interest rate of Japanese banks is very low, basically just over 1%. But when it comes to loans, people are often not willing to lend just because the interest rate is low.

When the public has insufficient expectations and confidence in the market, even if the loan interest rate is zero, people will not borrow money to start a business or expand production. After all, whether it is starting a business or expanding production, there is a huge risk of losing money. What's more, banks are typical of helping the strong and not the weak.

The richer a person is, the easier it is to borrow money, and the poorer a person is, the harder it is to borrow money. However, in the current relatively rigid economic environment in Japan, there are not many wealthy people willing to take out loans to expand production.

The same is true for Toru Fuyukawa. Although he is still short of money after the success of "Fate", he is not that short of money anymore. He can borrow money or not. However,

This time, Hanzawa Hiroshi was accompanied by his wife, Koishi Yoshiko, who is also Miyano Mitsuko's best friend.

It must be said that women who can hang out with Miyano Mitsuko are not simple characters. This Koishi Ryoko came up and threw out a very tempting suggestion to Toukawa Tetsu.

Sumitomo Bank was willing to lend money to Dongchuan Che at an interest rate of less than 1%, and was even willing to help him lobby for the sex toy mall next to Shengguang Society - M's Tower.

M's Tower is one of the landmark buildings in Akihabara. The first floor sells porn, the second floor sells cups and molds, the third floor is for women's products, and there are floors dedicated to MS and other products. It is a super-large sex toy mall.

Normally, this sex toy mall has nothing to do with Dongchuan Che, but with the launch of the "FGO" project, the size of the Holy Light Society will expand from the original thousand-person level to a large factory with two thousand people.

With more than 2,000 employees, the five-story red building of the Holy Light Society naturally cannot accommodate them.

After returning to Tokyo from China, Dongchuan Che had been looking for an office location for the branch company. The appearance of Koishi Ryoko and his wife was like sending him a pillow when he wanted to sleep.

M's Tower is right next to the Holy Light Society and is larger.

If this building can be acquired, not only will the problems of the mobile game department be solved, but employees of Sistar in the entertainment section and Audio-Technica in the animation section can also move here. After all, Sistar is still renting an office building, and Audio-Technica Studio also rents a large flat.

Moreover, the money for buying the building was fully advanced by Sumitomo Bank, and all Dongchuan Che had to pay was the principal and interest of less than ten percentage points over ten years.

Good.

Under normal circumstances, even if he wanted to buy this building, he would have to wait until the beginning of next year when FGO and Old Man Huan were listed. During this period, even if he did not take out a loan to buy M's Tower, Dongchuan Che would have to rent an office building, otherwise the FGO development team would have nowhere to stay. And the landlord would not rent an entire office building for only half a year. Once the contract is signed, it would be for at least five years.
