The Trickster's Ninth Episode

"But I refuse!"

Chapter 10 Lai Qixiao is an individual! (positive color)

"For various considerations, I think it's better for me to maintain my personal status."

Ren Amamiya rejected this contract without much thought. The reason for choosing personal power instead of corporate power has been discussed many times in the past, so I won't repeat it here.

Although Yasen can completely let Amamiya Ren practice personal power in the name of corporate power, and maintain the freedom of personal power while enjoying the resources of corporate power, but there are so many people in this world, Amamiya Ren still intends to quietly The person who brought Blank to debut, if he himself became the center of disputes, what would it be like?

Again, there is no shortage of people who envy and hate outstanding people in this world. When others think that the qualities displayed by Ren Amamiya are not worthy of the resources he enjoys, or they are simply jealous of this preferential treatment, they will inevitably attract criticism. .Although you can rely on undisputed strength to stop everyone's mouths, in other words, you need actual results, and it takes a long time to accumulate actual results.

What's more, Ren Amamiya is the kind of person who will do a good job once he takes over the job. If he becomes a corporate power, even if Yasen can guarantee his freedom, he will start to think from the perspective of the Yasen Group.

And to put it another way...couldn't he be successful without the resources of an entrepreneurial force?joke.

Therefore, for such things as corporate potential contracts, whether you accept it or not depends entirely on your mood.

"Well! I have also considered this situation." Ya Sen was not surprised by Umiya Ren's refusal, and said with a normal face. "If you don't want to sign it, just put that contract aside and read on."

After hearing this, Ren Yugong put this contract aside, separated from the previous dubbing contract, and continued to look at other contracts in her hand.

The next contract is about Lai Qixiao's IP authorization.

It seems that Yasen really has no hope for Amamiya Ren to sign the artist contract.

This is nothing to consider. Since the artist contract is not accepted, the ip authorization is a matter of course. After all, it is a game in which Qi Xiao is the protagonist.

After signing this contract, Yu Gonglian suddenly realized one thing—is this the first business contract she received?

Wow, if this is said, it seems kind of cool.

Although it is not a triple-A masterpiece, it is still a large-scale game. It is unprecedented for a Vtuber to act as the main character + dubbing of a large-scale game developed by a large company.

Thinking of this, Yu Gonglian suddenly asked Yasen.

"Speaking of which, what kind of game is this "Persona" you developed?"

Although Ren Amamiya is a relatively firm party to the original work, she is not opposed to modifying the inherent defects. If a game can be done better, then there is no need to insist on a 100% re-enactment of the original work. Although the P5 is the best in the world, there are many places that can be optimized to be honest.Even in its most commendable plot, in the mid-term, Ryuji was forcibly degraded in order to promote the plot.

Ryuji Sakamoto, the best tool for mainline copywriting.When many plots can't go on, they rely on Long Sibeng's character design to save the copywriter's job.

Of course, the plot of P5 is jointly created by multiple people. Usually, it will be more troublesome when the proposition composition of more than one author is connected with each other. It is still necessary to consider the hard work of copywriting.

As for P5R, there is no need to mention it, the new P group has its own ideas.

"In general, the type of game has not changed. Although I have thought about making it an action game, the persona system is redundant for action games. If we want to improve this point, the workload will increase too much, and the size of the game will increase. and optimization problems will multiply. The original combat system is relatively complete, but we can enrich the cultivation system and combat elements.”

"...You won't make a Persona Mask Pokémon come out." Umiya Ren heard something wrong.

"That's not the case, but the high-difficulty battles are indeed a lot more hard-core. In addition, the character modeling and action optimization and the game map are more free." Ya Sen said thoughtfully. "To sum it up... I'm more willing to spend money."

And don't think much about making money, right?

Yu Gonglian made up a sentence for Yasen in her mind.

"Is it also exclusive to PS4?" Ren Amamiya then asked.

This question is more critical, because if it is exclusive to PS4, his game console is at home. If he wants to play, he may have to take advantage of this holiday to go home and find a way to get his own console.

"I did have such an idea at first, but..." Mentioning this, Ya Sen laughed as if thinking of something interesting. "As you know, our company now has a new console, and depending on the situation, we may develop a fully submerged version of "Persona". So if we sign an exclusive agreement with Sony, it will be a little troublesome later."

"You still want to do full immersion?" Amamiya Ren looked at Ya Sen in surprise. "A JRPG like Anomaly is not suitable for full immersion, is it?"

"So there may be a big revision at that time, maybe it will become a remake. But it's just an idea at the moment, and the project hasn't even been established. And to be honest, the full immersion technology is not yet mature enough, and I don't plan to start doing it right away. This matter. In short, we are not worried that no one will play the game, and we are not worried that the game will be cracked, so there is no need to sign an exclusive agreement."

"That's it!" Yu Gonglian nodded, put this authorization contract on top of the previous dubbing contract, and continued to read.

"Huh?" Yu Gonglian flipped through the following contract page by page, it was so thick!

Looking carefully, this contract does not seem to be a certain contract, but a large number of contracts written together in different categories.

Strictly speaking, this contract should be an employment contract. From top to bottom, the content is roughly——

Provide art design for all the characters and monsters in the game "Persona", while retaining the IP ownership of all the strange thief characters;

Served as the plot writer of the game "Persona", which includes nine chapters of the main story line, plus character branch lines for a total of 22 plot lines;

Authorized the game "Persona" to use 21 original music such as "Life Will Change", "Will Power", "Sunset Bridge"...etc.

Zero zero total, this contract is very detailed, listing a lot of works and related terms, Yu Gonglian was taken aback for a while.

To sum it up, in a nutshell, Ren Amamiya provided art, plot and music for the game Persona.

Solo!

"What the hell is this?" Yu Gonglian raised her head to look at Yasen, her expression was full of disbelief.

Not to mention these things, especially if Amamiya Ren is willing to copy the music, this workload, this person wants to exhaust him to death?

"Contract! In charge of game art, story copywriting, and soundtrack. The salary is 100w yen, and the net profit of the game is 5%. The money is a little less, but you have to believe in the market of this game." Ya Sen slightly moved his head to Yu Gong Lian explained with a wink, vividly playing the appearance of a profiteer.

"Don't do this! Is this a question of lack of money? I'm not asking this!" However, Umiya Ren was not in the mood to play with Yasen in the theater at all, so she stretched out her hand and pushed his head back.

Is it a matter of money?This is a question of whether he can survive after completing these tasks!

"Don't worry, the game is basically completed, you don't need to do these things, the contract is just a supplementary file." Yasen said reassuringly.

"You... You found someone else to make these things, and then let me sign it?" Yu Gonglian asked with some hesitation.

Although I can understand that Yasen has good ideas for him, Ren Amamiya still doesn't want to use money to buy other people's works and put them under her own name.Not to mention that doing so will have great hidden dangers in the future.

"No! These contents are originally your works!" Yasen said as a matter of course.

"Huh? When did I do these things and how can I not remember?"

"At the sixth week goal."

"..."

Chapter 11 What kind of monster was I before?

Six...six weeks...

Ya Sen's answer stunned Amamiya Ren.

In the sixth week, he was responsible for the art, plot, and music of a large game by himself? ? ?

Shock Amamiya Ren!

What kind of monster was my past self?

"No, don't you have no memory?" Yu Gonglian suddenly realized a problem.

Since there is no memory, why do you remember things about the sixth week?

"It's true that I have no memory, but I have knowledge!" Yasen explained leisurely. "The skills you have mastered and the knowledge you have learned in the eight weeks are all in my mind."

"You don't always think that the skills and knowledge you have mastered have remained the same for so many years from the first game to the eighth game, right? You must be constantly improving!"

"During the sixth week, for a certain purpose, you [created]...or [copy] a lot of works that we remember as time travelers, and of course created a lot of works. The version of "Persona" is what you made at that time, so whether it's character design, plot or game code, it's all ready-made, I just need to take them out of my head."

"..." Yu Gonglian was speechless for a moment, with a complicated expression on her face.

"Hehe, I can guess how you feel now. Do you feel that you are still struggling with the principle of [I don't want to copy], but you suddenly realize that you have been inappropriate a long time ago, and you feel a little bit disappointed Big?" Ya Sen looked at Amamiya Ren and laughed.

"..." Yu Gonglian did not reply.

Ya Sen is right, Ren Amamiya doesn't want to do things like copying, but it's not because he feels guilty about taking away other people's works, some things that are destined to never appear in this world, There is no psychological burden for him to reproduce it, such as the "Butter-Fly" he promised Oda Nobuhime some time ago.

The point is that Yu Gonglian thinks that copying is a high-risk behavior, and he is extremely insecure about this kind of easy-to-obtain result.In other words, if he does a job without a considerable degree of professional skills, he will be very disturbed.

First have ability and then occupy their place.

However, if he already has a considerable degree of professional skills, he would not need to rely on copying to succeed at that time.

So he will form a logical contradiction similar to "which came first, the chicken or the egg" when it comes to things like [Wen Chao].

To sum it up simply - it's not necessary!Anyway, he can succeed, so why copy?

Something should have happened in the sixth week, which caused some changes in Amamiya Ren's mentality at that time.

"...You just said that I did it for a certain purpose? What purpose?" Ren Amamiya wisely ignored the teasing meaning in Yasen's words, and asked focusing on the point that she cared more about.

"How do I know? That's not [knowledge], but the part of [memory]." Ya Sen shrugged, as if he knew that Umiya Ren would ask such a question.

Does that mean he can only find the answer by himself?

Umiya Ren sighed, and returned her attention to the contract in her hand.

Then... sign it.

So far, there is nothing to worry about.

"By the way, don't be in a hurry to sign the last contract. It suddenly occurred to me that for the art, plot and music, do you want to sign [Yumonglian] or [Lai Qixiao]?" Just when Yugonglian was going to sign the contract When signing, Yasen suddenly thought and stopped him.

Yu Gonglian frowned upon hearing this, this is a problem.

The signing of this matter actually means something very simple, this game is a popularity, and now it is necessary to decide under which name this popularity should be placed.

Originally, Yu Gonglian herself didn't intend to be famous, and she couldn't be famous. After all, she had a [crime of hurting] on her body, and being famous was tantamount to bad luck.But now that I have met Ya Sen, the charges against him will be cleared after a while, so it is okay to sign it with [Amelia Ren].

Needless to say, the benefits of signing with [Lai Qixiao] can basically help him skip a large period of accumulation time in the early stage, and the contract is only signed at this moment, which means that the game has basically not been promoted much before, regardless of the progress of the game production. Where it is done, it is also starting to promote from now on, which means that there is still some time before the official release.

During this period of time, Ren Amamiya can completely handle the Hollow Knight, the card draw live broadcast, Neil's first episode, and the [-]-point commemorative round. With a certain number of works, there is also the id itself that originated from Lai Qixiao. With his huge fan potential, coupled with the wave of game announcements, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in this industry!

The only problem is... if you give credit to these things, these things... don't look like what a Vtuber should do.

I always feel that if Qi Xiao’s name is used to say that he has arranged the art, script and music of a large-scale game by himself, the professional proportion of Vtuber will be diluted a lot at once!There is a feeling of "it doesn't sound like a Vtuber".

All of a sudden, my job became an amateur.

But then again, he seems to be an amateur. Although the videos are being updated, the number of live broadcasts is actually a little less.There is no way, his job is a student after all.

How about... open a new trumpet?A hard-core and authoritative image of a technical person who completely strips away the impression of entertainment.The reason why he had this idea was that it would be more convenient for him to come up with something new on a whim in the future.

For example, the comic version of "No Game No Life"!Phantom Thief Tale comic version and the like.

Well, to be honest, the main reason is that I don’t want the barrage to be full of reminders when I come to Qixiao’s live broadcast.

In fact, some people have already mentioned the reminder of Neil's strategy video update during his live broadcast. Obviously, Neil is still unshakable and updates every four weeks.

So prompting updates is a completely foreseeable and very realistic problem for a creator.

And wanting to open a new vest without using the real name Amamiya Ren is because I am worried that my life in school will be affected.And if the name Umiya Ren became famous...it would be easy for people in the middle to be exposed.
