Chapter 126 Unwelcome Request (37)

It is true that if you accept financing, you may be able to immediately obtain money that is many times more than your own reserves.

Then I can rely on this money to expand rapidly, and my development speed should be faster than now.

But then the company will gradually become a pure profit-seeking tool.

This is not what Zhu Youxing wants.

Director Kubo chatted with Takeyusei for a while, and after filling his stomach for a while, he finally revealed the purpose of inviting Takeyusei today.

Takeyusei had already felt that Director Kubo had some purpose before, but he couldn't guess it for a while.

"President Zhuyou, actually I invite you today because I have an unkind invitation."

Takeyusei said calmly: "Director Kubo is too polite. If you have any requests, you can make them first and hear what they are about."

If you want to get closer and buy shares, then forget it.

So you have to listen first.

"Previously, I learned about the cooperation between your company and Kasugasha through personal messaging channels, and it has achieved considerable success."

"Well, this is the case. It's a win-win situation between us. Their magazine sells well, and our company's game promotion channels are also expanded."

Director Kubo looked at Takeyusei with a longing expression and said, "Well, if you don't mind, our TV station actually hopes to get the same cooperation opportunity."

Zhu Youxing was stunned.

This request was really beyond my expectation.

Director Kubo seemed to feel that his request was too sudden. He explained slightly awkwardly: "Actually, I'm not afraid of your laughter. Our life at TV Tokyo is not easy now. Even though we are one of the six major TV stations, because Being marginalized all year round, we are always on the verge of decline.”

Zhu Youxing nodded silently.

He knew something about this matter. It seemed that in his previous life, it was because he had been ravaged by several other TV stations all the year round that TV Tokyo would become a salty fish mode in the future. It would no longer struggle, reduce project expenses, and add relatively cheaper animations. The investment in production has allowed TV Tokyo to gradually gain a breathing space by relying on otakus, but it will always become the younger brother of the other five TV stations.

"Director Kubo, what do you mean..."

"Just after the video game program was launched at your suggestion, President Zhuyou, our ratings actually rebounded slightly. This was something we couldn't imagine in the past, so if possible, our TV station executives have also discussed it. After a while, I think we can deepen our cooperation with you.”

Zhu Youxing asked: "How to deepen cooperation?"

"To put it simply, we at TV Tokyo can provide you with all promotional resources free of charge in the future, including our small TV stations under TV Tokyo. And isn't your company planning to invest in a Dragon Quest animation with Kasugasha? We I hope that we can win the broadcasting rights. In addition to these, we will also have the right to purchase all your film and television broadcasting resources in the future. Of course, what I mean is that if when purchasing your company’s broadcasting rights, the same price appears. Buyers, you can give us priority.”

In fact, according to Director Kubo, video games and TV stations should not be incompatible.

Both sides should be able to complement each other.

At the same time, the TV station also began to hope to make money from more channels to maintain the operation of the TV station.

This includes other forms of investment, or directly purchasing high-quality content for filming, film and television production, and animation, and then selling peripheral products. In short, it is to expand the source of income of the TV station as much as possible, and it can no longer be limited to simple ratings.

Otherwise, you may starve to death sooner or later.

So far, many high-quality content outputs have been bound to other TV stations.

It's a problem for TV Tokyo to find suitable content to film movies and TV series.

Now it seems that only the content output of video games has not been targeted by several other TV stations.

This may be a good opportunity for TV Tokyo to recover.

Zhu Youxing thought for a moment.

He was really thinking about it.

From what the other party said, it seemed that they simply wanted the rights to broadcast on television or the rights to distribute video tapes.

When the bidders offer the same price, I just give priority to TV Tokyo.

This seems quite acceptable.

Originally, I focused more on game production. I could follow up on these spin-off industries, but leaving it to professionals to deal with and waiting to collect the money myself is pretty good. At most, I just need to keep an eye on it occasionally and not let these adaptations happen. The content ruined its own brand.

"Director Kubo, you mean that your TV station only needs the rights to adapt and broadcast the film, television, drama, animation, and broadcasting of our video games? Does it also include the rental and sale of video tapes?"

"That's right, that's all. Our TV station doesn't have excellent relevant producers, but at least it has qualified producers. I can assure you that once you hand over your work to us for production, we will do our best. And if your company There are movies, TV series and animations that have been produced, and we also hope to buy them.”

"no problem."

Zhu Youxing made the decision directly.

If there is a choice, TV Tokyo is not the best.

But it is indeed the most sincere.

They are willing to risk the pressure of other peers to get close to video games. In addition to breaking the rules, they probably also have plans to break out of the siege through another way.

Just the right to adapt, broadcasting rights, etc., these are not something that Takeyuxing minds.

Director Kubo is somewhat delighted.

This is the benefit of one person controlling the company almost 100%.

Takeyuxing does not need to be responsible to any shareholder at all. He only needs to do whatever he wants. As long as Takeyuxing agrees, there will be no obstacles.

But Takeyuxing immediately added: "However, I have an additional request."

"Please tell me, President Takeyu."

"If you want the right to adapt some of our games, after we agree, we still have the right to continue to supervise. If the quality of the work does not meet my standards, then I will directly reject your adaptation rights."

When it comes to shooting TV series and animation, Takeyuxing is certainly not a professional.

But he at least knows what is good and what is not.

Having watched many excellent TV series in his previous life, he is still confident in this regard.

He does not want his hard-earned works to be ruined by adapted works.

In that case, he would rather not shoot and do nothing.

There were too many pitfalls in the film and television adaptations of games in the previous life, so he must stick to this principle. You must at least reach the passing score of 7 points, otherwise don't blame him for being rude.
