Just a token of meeting

"I'm very... sorry, we... will withdraw from the film and television industry from now on!"

At a public press conference on NHK, these screenwriters bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle, their expressions twisted.

They lost thoroughly, but some of them had backgrounds. They could have tried to argue a bit and then continue in this line of work after muddling through.

But what they didn't expect was that they would be betrayed by their own backers.

Initially, their backers didn't take this bet seriously, nor did they think Gamestar Entertainment would have much influence.

But as the influence of the "Ace Attorney" series grew, and they witnessed Gamestar Entertainment earning over eight hundred million yen in revenue from a single game, their eyes turned red.

NHK Television Station might not care about revenue issues, they could continue to be the big boss even by lying flat; that's the style of this TV station.

But the backers behind these screenwriters were true tycoons.

They had a crazy obsession with making money.

Seeing Gamestar Entertainment making huge profits with this hype, they suddenly realized how lucrative gaming could be.

It turns out that the collaboration between movies and games is so enjoyable.

Why didn't they notice this lucrative business before?

Previously, Gamestar Entertainment often announced its game sales figures.

But capitalists from different industries generally don't pay much attention to things outside their own industry.

It's only when something might be related to them that they take a slight notice.

Now that they've noticed, they realize the terrifying aspect of electronic games.

And sales figures are secondary.

More importantly, it's social influence.

Until now, Gamestar Entertainment has been operating for eight years.

During this time, Gamestar Entertainment's initial fans were children aged seven or eight to eleven or twelve.

At that time, these children could only be considered a group of ignorant kids, completely unable to participate in the larger social environment, being protected like babies.

But in these eight years, children also grow up.

Twelve-year-olds are now twenty, and they have their own voices.

The children who were seven or eight years old back then are now fifteen or sixteen, also becoming potential mainstays of society.

Especially recently, more and more people have begun to warn about the problem of aging society, and the voice of young people is rapidly expanding.

This time, Gamestar Entertainment was criticized by traditional industries. These players surprisingly gathered formidable strength and gathered on the internet, using every means to speak up for Gamestar Entertainment.

This is genuine social influence, and also the mobilization ability of young people.

Recently, a related survey organization conducted a rough statistical analysis.

Among the most popular brands under the age of twenty, one company stands out.

That is Gamestar Entertainment.

Nowadays, whenever Gamestar Entertainment makes a move, it can stir the hearts of many young people.

This is terrifying.

Controlling young people is like controlling the future.

Finally, the tycoons who came to their senses realized that they needed to please Gamestar Entertainment.

Because Gamestar Entertainment has unknowingly stood on the same side as them now, it is an existence they need to treat as equals.

Electronic games have completely found their place.

All of this was accomplished silently.

This Takayuki really knows his stuff. He pioneered the industry and led the industry, gradually making this industry an important part of society in silence.

And now, if you offend someone like this because of a few minor screenwriters, it's completely self-inflicted suffering.

Those screenwriters really didn't put themselves in the right position. How dare they provoke Takayuki.

So, they were pushed out by the tycoons and persuaded (threatened) properly.

Admit defeat obediently, and you can retire peacefully. Otherwise, your life for the rest of your life will be bleak.

Even if those screenwriters couldn't accept it, they had to grit their teeth and admit defeat.

Because their backers no longer supported them.

And then, there was this NHK press conference.

These somewhat famous screenwriters in the industry announced their withdrawal from the film and television industry on the spot, and they would never touch this industry again.

Gamestar Entertainment achieved an absolute victory.

Throughout this process, Takayuki finally experienced the BUFF brought by increased influence.

Power is addictive, and this kind of influence is probably also considered a form of power.

However, what does this have to do with making games? He'll just continue making his games.

However, Takayuki also noticed that more and more upper-class figures from different industries are starting to contact him actively, hoping to make friends.

Among them are old friends of Takayuki's father, who used to treat Takayuki as a junior.

Because Takayuki's father had managed assets and investments for many upper-class figures, and made them a lot of money, they would also take care of Takayuki, the junior.

But they didn't expect Takayuki to rely on almost no one, conquering everything with his genius-like game development skills alone.

Really amazing, this Takayuki family is quite extraordinary. Takayuki's father is an investment genius. If Takayuki's father had continued to work in the investment field, he would probably be the top figure in investment banking by now.

But he inexplicably left this industry and went abroad to write novels, leaving people puzzled.

And his children were unknown before, but quietly created an industry, which is admirable.

Many elders among these tycoons are thinking that even if they lose ten years of life, if they can have a descendant like Takayuki, it would be a big win.

Regarding these invitations, Takayuki declined those that he could, because he really had no interest in gathering with a bunch of old men, and he wasn't good at drinking either. Even if it's sake, which is as light as water in Japan, he can't handle it.

His alcohol tolerance was poor in his previous life, and it's still poor in this world.

Among these invited people, there are still some that Takayuki can't refuse. Those people were originally good friends of Takayuki's father, and they all have a certain social status.

In such a relationship, Takayuki couldn't refuse.

But these people are also reasonable. They simply invite each other to make friends and get to know each other, just to become familiar with each other. If Takayuki needs help in the future, they will provide assistance. And if they themselves want to enter the gaming industry in the future, they also hope that Takayuki, the god of games, can help them.

Everyone wants to make money, and the more the better. Takayuki's father made a lot of money for them, earning their respect.

Now Takayuki can also do the same thing, so they must also respect Takayuki.

As for those screenwriters, they were just a small episode, not worth mentioning. Consider it as a gift to Takayuki.

But this kind of interaction definitely can't be for nothing. Takayuki has already planned to let these people help promote the handheld game console when it's released.

You, Suirui Electronics, have strong technical capabilities, and I also have my own channels to expand influence. Plus, I have an absolute advantage in gameplay. I might not be weaker than Suirui Electronics at all.
