Chapter 172 Private Meeting(2/3)
but now!
In this version of the plan!
That layer of veil has been removed.
What Yuki and others saw was a story with monster-fighting adventure as the main line and good and evil being rewarded in the end.
Perhaps the only special thing about this story is that it allows the player to act as the villain for once.
Other than that, there is nothing remarkable about it.
After listening to Yuki's words, Moriya's face also showed the helplessness of "Sure enough".
He sighed and then asked:
"Then what do you think if it is considered to be the main project of Silent Hill?"
Hearing this, Sato smacked his lips: "What does the 'how' that Executive Moritani asked about refer to?"
"Sales volume." Moritani said concisely and to the point.
"It will definitely be affected." Sato was even more straightforward.
Moritani nodded and looked at Sato: "Can you tell me more specifically?"
"This project is obviously not Gu Sang's,"
Seeing that Sato had already said this, there was no need to hide it, so he simply opened the skylight and spoke openly:
"If it was released as a standalone game, there would be no problem,"
"But if it is released as the official version of PT, saying that the dog's tail will continue may be exaggerating,"
"But the reputation that affects the Silent Hill IP is a sure thing,"
"Nowadays, PT has been promoted to the altar in the analysis of the media and players,"
"Its unique charm is definitely not something that this ordinary planning project can capture,"
"By then, it will be criticized and sales will inevitably decline."
After listening to Sato's words, Moritani nodded and then said:
"Approximately how much impact will it have?"
Sato thought for a moment: "It's hard to say, because in this case, the player's subjective factors account for too much. A conservative estimate... 20%."
hiss--!!!
As soon as these words came out, both Yuki and Okura took a deep breath.
Just changing to a slightly ordinary script will cause the game's sales to drop by one-fifth!
And this is just a conservative estimate!
"What about a higher estimate?" Moritani asked.
"Then it's hard to say." This time, Sato shook his head, indicating that he couldn't predict it anymore: "If this plan is really used, I wouldn't be surprised if the sales volume is reduced by half."
Say it.
There was a long silence in the office.
Half a moment.
Only then did Yuki slowly ask:
"So, Mr. Moritani...are we going to develop the main game of Silent Hill ourselves?"
Moritani's words have reached this point, no matter how stupid a few people are, they can still understand the meaning!
The senior management actually wanted to get rid of Golden Wind and monopolize the sales results of the official version of Silent Hill!
And to this!
Moritani also nodded slowly.
although!
I am prepared in my heart!
but!
When he saw Tetsuya Moritani nodding, Yuki couldn't help but feel angry!
What kind of stupid operation is this?!
Dumping Golden Wind means dumping Director Sam too!
good!
You have seen the current popularity of Silent Hill and the widespread support from players. It is understandable that you want to get rid of the penny and keep the profits for yourself!
After all, this is what Comella has always done!
Moreover, changing directors midway through a project is nothing new.
but!
Before you get rid of someone, did you really not think about who gave this game the soul?
The crown of "King of Horror Games" belongs to SamGu!
Not in our KOMINA hands!
"This this……"
Yuki simply couldn't understand this wave of operations from the top management:
"With all due respect, Mr. Moritani! It's like we produce cars, but-"
…
“…but it’s the same as leaving the engine manufacturer behind!”
Turn back time to yesterday!
Comella Conference Room!
At a private meeting chaired by President Kamikoshi Keimasa!
Tetsuya Moritani, the managing director of the game business, also raised the same doubts as Yuki!
This operation is too outrageous!
However!
Before Shangyue Jingzheng could speak.
Tsuna Yamamoto, who was sitting next to him, had a dark expression:
"Director Moritani, are you saying that with my more than 20 years of experience in the industry and my status as a senior game designer, I am not enough to replace a fledgling kid in presiding over the development of the main game of "Silent Hill"?"
good!
As the ‘disciple and student’ of the president, Keimasa Kamigoshi.
Yamamoto Tsuna wants to occupy the magpie's nest this time, and he will seize two projects at one hand!
Now the official version of "Yakuza Fury" has entered into orderly development work.
He can free up his hands to take over the now popular "Silent Hill" project!
In this way, these two popular projects will be in his hands!
And what a coincidence!
Ever since Silent Hill became popular, Kagemasa Joeshi has been thinking about how to kick Golden Wind out of the project.
After all, this IP is so popular now!
Once released, it will most likely become a phenomenal horror game, and there is even a high probability that it will become the highest-selling horror game in history!
And such a tempting project!
They actually had to take 30% of the net profit to share with Golden Wind!
This is unacceptable to a pure businessman like Kamigoshi Keimasa.
Don't say 30%.
He doesn't want to part with it at all!
Kamigoshi Kagemasa doesn’t understand games.
In his opinion, Gu Sheng is ultimately an external "business manager".
Now, Gu Sheng has taken a big order for their company, Comella, and as a reward, he asked for a 30% share of the bill when following up on the project.
Kagemasa Kamigoshi was naturally unwilling to part with the money.
After all, he also has another top business manager - Tsuna Yamamoto.
Moreover, this business manager has longer working experience and more work experience. The most important thing is that Tsuna Yamamoto is not an external hire and does not need such a high commission.
To be continued...
