Capítulo 393: The righteous two versus one
Director Kubo smiled and said, "President Takayuki, this is also very beneficial for you. With your ability to create games, the new game you produce will definitely be great, so you won't lose."
Takayuki didn't really feel anything.
Winning or losing didn't really matter.
But if it could really make those arrogant writers suffer a setback, it would be satisfying.
However, Takayuki had already roughly figured out the essence of this so-called bet.
Those writers were just playing tricks. They weren't really planning to make this bet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have used such a vague judgment method like who has more influence wins.
What influence were they talking about?
Influence in TV dramas?
Takayuki didn't make TV dramas, so how could he have influence in that area?
Or influence in games?
Those writers hadn't made any games, so where did their influence in games come from?
Social influence?
That was equally hard to judge.
Unless it was overwhelming influence.
But that was equally hard to achieve.
So, Takayuki didn't take it too seriously from the beginning. He just said to do their own jobs well and not mess around with these things, as it was just a waste of time.
"President Takayuki, actually, I came here today with a purpose. Do you want to make those writers suffer even more?"
Takayuki raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"Of course, I want to bring down those writers, or rather, leverage their fame to elevate ourselves. The influence of our Tokyo TV station is still lacking. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to gain influence, we would be very willing."
Takayuki was somewhat puzzled, "So, what do you want to do?"
"Well, you know, before, weren't you planning to adapt your game for a legal drama with NHK? Since they refused, I thought, why not consider us?"
Takayuki was taken aback, "Consider you? Do you have any legal dramas lately?"
"Of course not, but we can produce a TV drama adaptation of your work with the same name. What do you think? Moreover, wasn't this originally a request from the Japanese government? So, I think we can also improve the favorability of our Tokyo TV station on a national level while we're at it."
The term "improving favorability" had been gaining popularity in society lately.
Terms like "finding bugs," "defeating bosses," as well as "leveling up" and "improving favorability" in games were becoming increasingly popular in casual conversations.
Director Kubo was someone who liked to embrace new trends, so he also liked to use the term "improving favorability."
Such terms made it easier for people to understand certain behaviors.
Takayuki's interest was piqued, "You want to adapt Ace Attorney?"
"Well, is your new game called Ace Attorney? That name is quite interesting. Yes, that's my idea. I want to see if we can adapt your game into a TV drama."
Well... that didn't sound too bad.
Takayuki thought to himself.
In the previous life, there wasn't a true adaptation of Ace Attorney into a film or TV series.
But the story itself was actually quite good and suitable for adaptation into a TV drama.
However, it would only be a fan adaptation, and it couldn't compare to those top-notch Japanese dramas.
The excellence of Ace Attorney lay in the fact that it was a game.
In the gaming circle, Ace Attorney was unique, so it was very representative. Moreover, the gameplay gave players a real sense of being a lawyer for the first time.
But if it were turned into a TV drama, the presentation would be completely different.
Perhaps this was also why many film and TV adaptations of games, as well as game adaptations of films and TV series, were generally rubbish.
Because these two different cultural forms had different forms of expression.
Why did it have to be adapted into a storyline of Ace Attorney?
Wouldn't it be great to make it into a sufficiently popular legal drama?
For example, the well-known Japanese drama in the previous life, "Victory is Justice," also known as "Li Gouhai."
This drama was quite well-known in Japan after the 21st century.
If this kind of work were placed in the golden age of TV dramas, it would be enough to become a national hot drama with a viewership rating of over 40%.
The descriptions about lawyers and various legal cases in it were quite ingenious, and it was also considered a textbook for legal dramas in the TV and film industry.
Takayuki had also followed such top-rated dramas carefully in his previous life.
So, even if he didn't understand the methods of the TV and film industry, just by giving Kubo a rough outline of the game's storyline, it would probably turn out pretty well.
"Go on," Takayuki said, while his brain was racing, letting Kubo continue with his imagination.
"This is what I'm thinking."
Kubo coughed lightly and continued, "I want to announce the adaptation of your Ace Attorney. Of course, how to adapt it can be according to your requirements. Those writers probably wouldn't expect you to do this. Your game and their TV dramas are in different industries, so it's naturally difficult to determine a winner. But if I adapt your game into a TV drama that gains a certain response, and has a quality comparable to theirs, plus the excellence of the game you produce, then it's like a two-against-one situation, and the chance of winning is high."
This idea was quite interesting.
Takayuki hadn't thought of it before.
Wasn't this a two-against-one situation of justice?
I like it.
Takayuki thought it was worth a try.
The other party hadn't mentioned any rules about the bet, only the consequences after winning or losing, and a very vague rule restriction.
So, there was a lot of room for maneuvering in this.
Making an adaptation TV drama to expand another layer of influence, this idea was indeed not bad.
"President Takayuki, how do you feel about this plan? I'm actually considering my own interests as well, so I'm leveraging your momentum, President Takayuki, so I hope to get your consent."
"I agree."
"Huh?"
Takayuki said again, "I agree, but I have other requests."
Director Kubo was quite happy. He had spoken very straightforwardly, so he was also prepared for Takayuki's rejection, but Takayuki accepted it very straightforwardly, indicating that his idea was correct.
Takayuki seemed calm, but he also had a desire to win.
"President Takayuki, tell me, what are your requests?"
"The script of Ace Attorney can't be directly given to you, because it's only suitable for the game. It would be weird if it were forced into a TV drama. So, I will prepare another outline for you recently. Your writers can write a new story based on this outline and link it with our story."
