Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

The so-called formula book is a set of game settings. It is a series of detailed introductions to assist the game body in the world view, characters, creatures, equipment, etc. in the game. It is the favorite of diehard fans and sophisticated fans.

Takeyusei originally wanted to talk about the setting collection directly, but using the formula book in the comics world to express it will make Daigo Ikeda more clear.

Ikeda Daigo was surprised.

"Zhuyou-kun, you said that you still need to assist in the preparation of the formula book? This... this is not just a propaganda painting, is it?"

Zhu Youxing nodded: "That's right, what I want to do is video games, and the setting of video games even surpasses ordinary comics, so I need a long-term partner, and it is best to have a certain reputation."

Assisting in the writing of the formula book is no small project for a manga artist.

It's just that no one has ever approached a cartoonist for this kind of thing in the past.

No, not at all.

Even today's movies don't have this kind of formula book. At most, it's just some detailed notes written by the director himself. Few people will find outsiders to make a formula book.

"That Zhuyou Jun, I want to ask, what exactly is the video game you are talking about?"

"This is a brand new form of entertainment, and I can't explain it to you in a short time. If you want to know more, I will give you an address. You tell the boss there that I introduced it, and he will give you an answer on the spot." Demonstrate what a video game really is."

Brand new to entertaining? Ikeda Daigo pondered.

"Well, I will choose one of two conditions. One of the conditions is that I will hire a manga teacher with a monthly salary of 500,000 yen for one year. After one year, we can continue to talk."

"The second condition is that I will give a basic salary of 180,000 a month, but the cartoonist can get 5% of the future share of the entire game series."

If it is Zhu Youxing, he will definitely choose the second one, because he can foresee how huge the development of the game will be in the future.

And if possible, Zhu Youxing also hopes that the other party can choose this, because it will completely bind a cartoonist, and at least there will be no problems for twenty or thirty years.

However, this is tantamount to giving people an invisible blank check, so Zhu Youxing also gave the first choice.

Let you be willing to cooperate with me in the first year, and then you can seriously consider the issue of share in the second year, but you will earn less share in the first year.

Five hundred thousand yen.

Ikeda Daigo was a little surprised.

He doesn't yet understand what a video game is, but he can roughly understand that it's going to be very complicated.

In today's Japan, if a college student can find a job after graduating, the cost is about 180,000 yen.

Under normal circumstances, 300,000 yen is the average income of regular employees of the company after four or five years of work with relatively positive benefits.

This income has hardly fluctuated in Japan for more than two decades since the bubble burst.

This is one of the reasons why many people call it the lost twenty or thirty years.

As for Zhu Yuxing, he was willing to give a salary of 500,000 yen from the beginning, which was enough to make a down-and-out manga artist excited.

By the way, a down-and-out cartoonist with a bit of fame...

Daigo Ikeda instantly remembered Mr. Tsuchiya who was chatting with the editor before.

After the debut of the first work, which was the peak, it plummeted.

Now, although he can't make ends meet, his life is getting worse. Some well-known cartoonists are lavish in the beginning, and some even get heavily in debt after the bubble bursts, and are finally crushed.

Mr. Tsuchiya was lucky. The eve of the bubble burst happened to be when the quality of his manga was not very high. He devoted himself to studying how to draw manga well, and didn't spend too much money.

In other words, this is another kind of luck.

If he can help him find this job, at least for a short time, he won't have to worry about starving to death if he has no income from comics.

After a while of precipitation, if Mr. Tsuchiya makes a comeback, maybe his grades will skyrocket again.

Thinking of this, Daigo Ikeda immediately said: "If it is this salary, then I have nothing to say, I don't think anyone will refuse this kind of remuneration."

If a stranger suddenly asked him what he said just now, he would probably take it as a liar or a lunatic.

However, this is the child of Teacher Masako. Just relying on Teacher Masako's reputation, it is absolutely impossible for his child to deceive people because of such a trivial matter.

So, he was ready to introduce Mr. Tsuchiya to Zhu Youxing.

"Sansuke Tsuchiya, Takeyou-kun, have you heard of this teacher? He has a relatively famous manga work."

"No, I don't really understand."

He doesn't know much about many famous people in this world.

This is equivalent to the parallel world of his previous life, many celebrities are different, and after traveling over, he spends most of his time making games, and has no time to study those celebrities in this world.

That's why he thought about asking his mother to help him find a suitable candidate.

"I think this Mr. Tsuchiya should meet your standards and have a certain reputation, but... the quality of his works in recent years has not been very good, so his popularity has gradually declined."

Zhu Youxing immediately understood.

There are not a few cartoonists who made their debut and peaked in their previous lives.

This kind of cartoonist is often not bad at drawing, and most of them have problems in writing stories.

Manga really takes talent sometimes.

Some cartoonists who are neurotic can attract people with neurotic stories, and they don't necessarily need to be good at drawing.

However, some cartoonists desperately study the plot, but in the end they can only stop at the entry level, which is desperate. In the end, they can only painstakingly improve their drawing skills, but it is difficult to stop the decline.

"I'll give you Teacher Tugu's contact information right now... No, I'll contact him right now, or go to your place."

Daigo Ikeda was unwilling to give up such an opportunity to make money easily.

He must be won by Mr. Tsuchiya.

After all, Teacher Tsuchiya was trained by him, and he didn't want Teacher Tsuchiya to completely collapse.

"Don't be so polite, let's meet at the magazine office, it's good for both parties, otherwise it will appear that I don't respect the teacher too much."

"Okay, okay, then I'll contact Mr. Tsuchiya now."

Zhu Youxing agreed to meet at the magazine, which is what Daigo Ikeda wanted to see most.

Because he also wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of person Zhu Youxing was.

Judging from Masako's age, I'm afraid Zhuyou Xing will be very young.

To start a company at such a young age and seem to be starting a whole new kind of entertainment sounds amazing.

And he also wanted to see what the so-called formula book would be.
