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

The launch of "Fate/Heaven's Grail" is critical, but not particularly critical.

The key point is that this work will be followed by the "FGO" mobile game. The not-so-key reason is that Dongchuan Che invested nearly 200 million US dollars in the "FGO" mobile game!

What a concept! The investment in the first expansion pack of Genshin Impact was also said to be [100 million US dollars]. This number should be correct, but generally speaking, whether it is Mihoyo or Rockstar, when promoting the game to the outside world, they will definitely report good news but not bad news, so these production costs generally include publicity and development costs.

If you really count it, the development cost of the first expansion pack of "FGO" by Fuyukawa Che is almost four times that of "Genshin Impact"! And "Genshin Impact" is a game.

Regardless of reputation, just talking about the technical strength and visual expression, when Genshin Impact was released, it really crushed almost all mobile games on the market. And now, most mobile games in this world are still at the paper man stage.

Fuyukawa Tetsu is not worried at all that FGO, which he invested 5 million US dollars in and almost reached the maximum indicators, will suffer a Waterloo. After all, he used this huge amount of money to almost reconstruct a Tokyo with a two-dimensional style and the art style of Persona 5, and the richness of details and content far exceeds that of Persona !

To be honest, when FGO was just launched, the company didn’t have much money, so Toru Fukawa initially gave a budget of 60 to 100 million USD for R&D costs. But as the company’s profits continued to rise, not only Fate and Stardew Valley in the gaming field, but also music and animation fields also made him a lot of money. In addition, the huge success of Elden Ring

Needless to say, the R&D funds for "FGO" have been piling up. Even the release originally scheduled for the Chinese New Year in January was postponed to around the end of March or April because of the increase in content and the need for longer development time.

Today's FGO has an art style similar to that of Persona, but the detailed textures and textures far surpass those of Persona. As for the content in the map, Toru Fuyukawa has created a Tokyo that is even richer than Los Santos!

The total production cost of "That Game 5" is 2.7 million US dollars, but this includes the cost of publicity and distribution, and the actual R&D funds are around 1.4 million. And this time, Dongchuan Che invested nearly million US dollars in "FGO"!

I dare not say that all NPCs and buildings can interact, but let alone buildings related to the main storyline, buildings like maid cafes, underground idol performances, Tokyo SKY, Tokyo Skytree and even basketball courts and football fields have directly implanted NBA2K and FIFA's streetball modes, and can interact with players. There are even more than seventy or eighty male and female NPC characters who can be conquered. The amount of content is ridiculous!

It is no exaggeration to say that a Tokyo with a two-dimensional style was created by Toru Dongchuan!

Holding such a "FGO" in hand, playing in this era of mobile games where everyone is still paper-thin, even if the game will definitely have various castrations in picture quality and content on mobile phones, but Dongchuan Che still doesn't know how to lose, and he doesn't think that the success or failure of the animation "Fate/Heaven's Cup" will affect his future.

but

He Dongchuan Che is very confident, but those passers-by who don’t know the truth are different, especially some women from the program crew.

.

"Sisters Who Make Waves" will start recording the opening ceremony in a scenic spot near this hot spring hotel tomorrow morning. Except for some singers and artists with particularly tight schedules, most of the other contestants, like Akina Kamimori, rushed here at noon today.

To put it bluntly, "Sisters Who Make Waves" under Dongchuan Che is looking for a bunch of artists who are over 30 years old, who once had a glorious period in their careers but are now gradually fading, as well as some young artists and singers under 20 years old who have just debuted to compete.

Young artists and singers may still be unfamiliar with each other, and some may be shy and don’t talk much, but it is different for older singers and artists who have been in the entertainment industry for a longer time.

"Ah, Akina, you're here too. I thought you would sleep until tomorrow morning before coming here."

At around six o'clock in the evening, Akina Kamimori was about to go back to her room with her friends to watch "Fate" after taking a hot spring bath. As she was passing through the hotel lobby with hot milk in her hand, she was stopped by a woman who looked to be in her thirties.

The person is Takeuchi Masako, who debuted with sweet songs in her early years. She got to know Akina Mori because she sang the theme song for a TV series. And what's interesting is that both of them were very popular when they were young, but later they gradually faded out of the public eye because of their failed transformation.

Since they share the same disease and have known each other for a long time, it is natural that they have a good relationship.

Akina Kamimori walked over with a look of surprise on her face. "Why are you here so early? Didn't you say you were going to shoot a commercial in Hokkaido and wouldn't be able to come over until the evening?"

When talking about her career, Takeuchi Masako's smile froze, and she said with some discomfort and anger: "You don't know. I had already put on my makeup and was ready to go for the photo shoot, but you know what happened? The brand suddenly sent me a text message saying that they had replaced me! And they didn't even reimburse me for the round-trip fare, and just threw me on the side of the road!"

"Huh? That's too much?!"

Akina Kamimori looked a little angry, but also a little helpless.

The stars in the entertainment industry look glamorous, but unless they are big stars with strong appeal, the status of other small stars is actually not as good as that of normal office workers. The reason is that the entertainment industry is an industry with a low entry threshold, a high success threshold, and extreme reliance on resources.

Of course, singers can also pursue creative writing, and actors can also pursue directing. But this is like telling office workers, "If you feel your boss is exploiting you, then start your own business and become your own boss." It's a bit of black humor.

When most singers and artists want to become famous and make money, they can only rely on the resources provided by the big guys, and no one can stand up for justice, the status gap between the two sides is bound to be very large. It's like some company leaders are disgusting, requiring employees to work overtime every day, and deducting wages for being late, but most workers can only hold their noses and endure it.

Not to mention the practice of abandoning unwanted out-of-date singers halfway, she had also seen things like taking off clothes and barking like a dog before discussing the script or the song in Akina Mori.

Angry, but helpless.

Seeing Akina Kamimori's reaction and feeling the atmosphere suddenly become a little depressing, Takeuchi Masako quickly smiled and said, "But it's good too. It's just in time for me to come here early to adjust my condition and prepare for tomorrow's program recording. If I can get a good ranking this time, or even get one of the top few, and get Mr. Fuyukawa's song, then my second spring will come!"

Masako Takeuchi became more and more excited, and her voice became a little sharp at the end. Toru Fuyukawa wrote ten songs for this show, and this was no secret to all the invited guests.

At present, there are many singers who hope to ask Che Fuyukawa to help write songs. Not to mention Japan and China, many top singers in Europe and the United States have said in interviews that it would be a wonderful and honorable thing to work with Che Fuyukawa.

What's more, many people this time have already seen the song in advance.

Astonishing!

You should know that the ten songs written by Dongchuan Tetsu this time include Jay Chou's "Qilixiang", JJ Lin's "Cao Cao", Ayumi Hamasaki's "Dearest", Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" and so on. These songs will never be out of date no matter which era they are released in, and they may even be classic songs that help out-of-date artists make a comeback!

Everyone was extremely excited and eager to get their hands on Toru Dongchuan's songs. If Toru Dongchuan hadn't been accompanied by Chika Ohara and Asuka Tsukitake this time, who knows how many artists and singers would have secretly knocked on Toru Dongchuan's door tonight.

The same is true for Takeuchi Masako. Thinking of this, she suddenly whispered mysteriously: "I heard that Mr. Dongchuan likes mature women very much. What do you think of me?"

"No chance at all!"

The atmosphere was quite depressing just now, but suddenly the topic turned to obscene things. Akina Kamimori rolled her eyes speechlessly, then said, "It is a consensus in the industry that Mr. Fuyukawa likes sexy and obedient mature women, but he likes young women around 30 years old, not mamas like you who are almost 50 years old!"

".Wow, Akina's words are too hurtful. I'm only in my early thirties. Besides, what if, just in the unlikely event, Mr. Fuyukawa likes a widow like me? Men always like to try new things, right?"

Masako Takeuchi was still standing there, talking dirty with longing.

Seeing that her stupid friend of many years still had illusions, Akina Kamimori was speechless. "Alright, alright, I won't waste my words with you. Have you had dinner? If not, let's have dinner together. There is a buffet here. You can also watch cartoons with me."

"Eh, cartoons?"

"Yes."

Akina Uemori said as she walked towards the restaurant, "Mr. Fuyukawa's new work, Fate: Heaven's Cup, I just heard from Minako that it's a sweet school romance show. It's perfect, I can watch a couple of episodes to relax and then go to bed early."

"A sweet school romance anime? I like this the most! Maybe you can even see Mr. Fuyukawa's XP from it!"

Masako Takeuchi was excited again. But it should be said that her facial features and figure were not bad. Especially in terms of skin, after all, she was a singer who debuted with sweet songs. After years of maintenance, her skin was not as smooth as that of a 17 or 18-year-old girl, but it was not bad. However, it was still useless.

The women in the Fuyukawa family all have great skin, especially Sato Fujiko.

She is of pure Japanese descent, but her skin is as white as milk, similar to the German-Japanese mixed-race Yuezhu Asuka. Although she does not have the exaggerated golden body proportions of Yuezhu Asuka, her skin is much more tender, smooth and delicate. Her soft and plump big snow peach will sink with a light tap, and then quickly leave a red mark, which makes Dongchuan Che deeply loved.

Masako Takeuchi didn't know any of these things. She only knew that Toru Fuyukawa was a big pervert who liked sexy mature women.

The two girls chatted for a while and soon arrived at the restaurant.

It is dinner time now, but the people who come here are all female artists and singers, so not many people are eating the rows of delicious food along the wall. Instead, places like fruit salad are crowded, and the whole air is filled with the sweet smell of salad dressing.

Masako Takeuchi was originally planning to have some fruit, but as soon as she picked up the plate, Akina Kamimori picked up a few pieces of chicken breast for her.

"This time we have to sing and dance. If we only eat fruit, we may not be able to keep up with the energy tomorrow."

"Oh, thanks."

".You are such a fool."

Another venomous remark, causing Takeuchi Masako to scratch her head and laugh.

The two chatted and laughed, and soon came to a corner of the restaurant, and at this time, the trailer of "Fate/Heaven's Cup" began to play on the large screen above the restaurant. As the voice of Shirou Emiya in the trailer echoed in the restaurant, other people around the two were also talking about it.

"It's less than a minute until the show starts. I don't know if Mr. Fuyukawa can continue his miracle with this work."

"I hope so. After all, they are all his works. If this cartoon becomes popular, maybe some viewers will pay attention to us."

“Maybe Mr. Dongchuan thought of this when he arranged for the work to be released at this time.”

"Then you're overthinking it. I heard before that Mr. Dongchuan was originally planning to do a super large variety show in the summer, but Director Yuezhu is a novice, so he organized this variety show for her to practice."

"Tsk, 10 or 20 million US dollars for training, Director Yuezhu is really favored."

"Comparison makes one feel miserable. But by the way, have you ever seen the Fate series?"

"Come on, I'm almost 40 years old, how can I still watch cartoons? But when I came here this afternoon, I heard a few kids over there discussing this series, saying that they were all very good, but... I heard that the plot of this one will be very dark and cruel, so it's best not to watch it while recording the show, so as not to affect your mentality."

"Deeply dark and cruel? No way, I've seen Mr. Dongchuan's "I'm Surrounded by Beautiful Women", that's a pure love story."

The two women behind me were chatting casually. One of the women with short hair looked a little surprised when she heard "This work will be very dark". But the most surprised ones were Akina Kamimori and Masako Takeuchi.

Masako Takeuchi widened her eyes slightly, "Didn't you say this work is a sweet school romance show?"

Akina Kamimori shrugged and continued eating vegetable leaves. "Who knows? I just heard it from others. Oh, it doesn't matter. It's about to start airing, so I can watch it while eating. If it's not good, I'll go back to my room and sleep. But... I still hope it's good, so that we can get more traffic!"

Akina Uemori chewed her salad hard, with some anticipation in her eyes.

Not only her, but everyone in the restaurant was looking forward to it. After all, this matter was more or less related to everyone's interests. Soon, as the short hand of the clock on the wall jumped to seven o'clock in the evening, the big screen gradually went dark.

No surprises, just like other works of the Holy Light Society.

Accompanied by the grand and tragic "Prelude to the Dead" BGM, the first thing that catches everyone's eyes is a paladin in armor standing on the top of a snowy mountain.

The wind and clouds were changing, and there was heavy snow.

The paladin leaned over and dug a small pit under the withered golden tree on the top of the mountain. In the pit was a seed. The seed gradually emitted a golden light and eventually grew into a towering tree that broke through the clouds in the night sky and calmed the wind and snow.

Then——【Fate/Heaven's Grail】·【Produced by Holy Light Society·Audio Triangle Studio】a line of small words appeared on the black screen.

The opening CG animation was very delicate, and many singers and artists at the scene nodded in praise.

“I feel that this CG is more refined than the previous two. The technical level of the Holy Light Society is still improving.”

"Of course. I saw an interview video before. This year, many students from related majors at the University of Tokyo want to join the Holy Light Society. With so many talented people joining, the technical capabilities of the Holy Light Society will only get stronger and stronger."

"It's not just the University of Tokyo. My friend's son is studying at Harvard, and he said that his son wants to return to Japan to join the Holy Light Society after graduation."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, with bright prospects and good salary, who wouldn't want to work for such a company? But by the way, was this BGM also created by Mr. Fuyukawa?"

"Yeah, that's really exaggerated. Otherwise, why do you think this program can gather so many artists from record companies? Those record companies all want him to write songs!"

"Tsk, what a freak man. I hope our variety show can be the same this time. Hey, let's start."

Many people in the restaurant were chattering away, and as the dark screen gradually lit up, and as Shirou Emiya walked to the archery range amid the sound of summer cicadas, everyone present, whether eating or chatting, focused their attention on the TV screen, and the entire restaurant fell completely silent, but the next moment.

"Staff, please adjust the barrage. How can I read the barrage that fills the entire screen?"

"Is this true?! It's only just started and there are already so many comments?!"

“Is this the appeal of a super IP in the second dimension? It’s really scary.”

There was a big noise in the restaurant.

There is no other reason, it’s just that the staff forgot to adjust the barrage, and the barrage effect at this time is. Full on!
