Chapter 124 - Recording of the face-to-face meeting

Preparing for a press conference is not particularly difficult.

Even though Takayuki may not fully understand the rhythm of television program broadcasts, he has at least attended numerous press conferences in his past life.

Merely imitating is already sufficient. What truly captivates people is not the process of broadcasting, but the content being broadcasted.

Therefore, after everyone roughly decides the order of announcing the game console and games, they directly hand it over to more professional individuals for handling.

Although it's called a press conference and seems like a live broadcast, it's actually entirely pre-recorded.

Before recording any related footage, all relevant individuals sign strict confidentiality agreements.

Any leak will lead to the entire television station facing lawsuits.

Originally, television stations were unwilling to accept such stringent confidentiality agreements.

However, Vice Director Kubo remembered that there is a big shot in the newspaper group above, so it didn't seem appropriate to refuse directly.

Anyway, as long as everyone manages to keep the content from leaking, there shouldn't be much risk.

In the following days, Takayuki frequently went to the television station because he had to participate in the recording as the host of the press conference.

"Takayuki, please look here. Yes, that's right, please show a friendly smile... Yes, just like that. Okay, let's start!"

With the sound of a click, the recording officially began.

And Takayuki began to reminisce about the famous scenes from past press conferences, starting to emulate the speeches of those present in those scenes.

Since everyone except himself at the press conference is chroma-keyed, Takayuki can only perform against the air relying on his imagination.

But perhaps because he watched too many press conferences in his past life, Takayuki felt that his performance was quite good.

"Cut!"

Fifteen minutes later, after the director's call to stop, Takayuki seemed still immersed in the performance and hadn't snapped out of it.

"Takayuki, your performance is really good, almost comparable to some actors with a certain foundation."

The director in charge of filming smiled as he approached Takayuki and enthusiastically handed him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you. This is my first time participating in a performance, so it feels quite fresh."

Takayuki took the coffee, although he doesn't really enjoy it, echoing the sentiments of a somewhat famous game character.

"I don't like drinking coffee. It tastes like scalding mud."

Takayuki took a sip, then asked, "How many more times do we need to shoot?"

"If you, Takayuki, can maintain your current state, I think we can finish all the shooting today, and then it's just our post-editing and special effects work."

Takayuki still felt somewhat regretful. He thought it would take three to five days to shoot, giving him a chance to indulge in filming.

Oh yeah, maybe he should consider making a game adaptation movie in the future.

Although in the gaming industry, out of ten game adaptations, nine may fail, and the remaining one may barely pass, the number of products that can perfectly cross genres is very few.

But he still wants to give it a try.

Hmm, let's wait another three to five years for the development of electronic games.

After resting for about half an hour, filming resumed.

This time, the shooting didn't take too long, just another three to five minutes of a short film.

The main purpose of the viewers watching this program is electronic games. He is actually just an accompaniment. So, the total time he can appear in the entire program is probably only about ten minutes.

After spending a day completing the shooting, Takayuki bid farewell to the director and prepared to go home.

However, just as he walked out of the shooting location, Vice Director Kubo appeared in front of Takayuki, seemingly waiting for him for a while.

"Takayuki, has today's shooting finished?"

"Yes." Takayuki nodded, then politely replied, "Vice Director Kubo, are you getting off work?"

"Yeah, today has been busy all day. I happen to have some free time tonight. How about Takayuki and I have dinner together?"

Takayuki nodded, showing no signs of refusal.

Now, Tokyo TV station has expressed full sincerity and is willing to cooperate with the Takayuki Company, which is certainly being excluded in the TV industry.

Even though Tokyo TV station has long been accustomed to being excluded every day, it's not appropriate to be excluded just because an outsider is involved.

"Of course, no problem, Vice Director Kubo. But I want to ask, is it just the two of us?"

Takayuki was worried that the vice director intended to be a mediator for someone and wanted to invest in his company.

If so, he needs to clarify this in advance.

"Yes, just the two of us, no one else."

"Okay, Director Kubo, please make arrangements. I'll follow your lead."

"In that case, Takayuki, please come with me to the underground parking lot. Let's go together."

Takayuki followed behind Kubo. Vice Director Kubo was good at chatting with others, and the two of them had been chatting all the way.

Such as some interesting anecdotes in the TV station, or some problems in the TV station usually, etc.

Soon they arrived at the underground parking lot, and the two entered their respective cars and drove away from the underground parking lot.

After several twists and turns, they arrived at a high-end-looking Western restaurant. Vice Director Kubo seemed to be a regular here and was directly addressed as such upon entering.

The two of them arrived at a window seat on the third floor, where they could see the night view outside, which was quite nice.

After ordering some dishes, the two continued to chat.

Kubo first praised Takayuki for being successful at such a young age, as he could rely on himself to grow to where he is now, even in his early twenties.

Despite fierce competition from peers and the previous suppression of electronic games by television stations, Takayuki's company is definitely a hot cake in the commercial field.

Previously, someone roughly estimated the value of this company, which is probably worth 100 billion yen.

Converted into US dollars, it's a market value of 1 billion dollars.

To put it in the terms of the future, Gamestar Entertainment is now a high-quality unicorn company.

Many venture capital firms have been trying their best to contact Takayuki.

They are competing to invest in Takayuki.

Because now even fools can see the development momentum of Gamestar Entertainment, which is completely out of sight and seems unstoppable.

However, unfortunately, Takayuki completely ignores these venture capital institutions. In the field of electronic games, he is absolutely dominant, without anyone who can influence him. Coupled with his absolutely healthy cash flow now, why should he curse himself for a little money?
