In the initial event where television stations boycotted electronic gas, NHK, as Japan's leading television station, didn't take a clear stance, seemingly feeling it would be beneath them to do so.
Anyway, they don't rely on ratings to make money, so there's no need to confront others over the slight drop in ratings.
But this doesn't an that the creators won't boycott electronic gas.
NHK might not care about ratings, but the creators of TV dramas are affected in terms of the efficiency of spreading their own reputation.
Previously, people discussed what TV dramas they watched today and which renowned screenwriter produced a good TV drama.
And now, people's attention is diverted.
Especially in the recent period, with that Final Fantasy ga.
Discussions about that ga were everywhere.
Don't they understand how good it is?
It's just an entertainnt product, yet it has managed to dominate almost the entire social discourse in a short period.
And this is not limited to just within the country.
In the USA, in Europe, there are heated discussions too.
Many screenwriters are generally more conservative, especially the renowned ones; it's hard for them to accept this new thing.
Especially when this thing vaguely seems to encroach on their territory.
Cutting off soone's source of inco is like killing their parents, and cutting off their fa is even worse.
It's just that the expansion speed of electronic gas is really terrifying.
Several TV stations joined forces, yet it didn't have any impact at all. In the end, it made those comrcial TV stations look bad.
"I disagree! I absolutely disagree! How dare that ga company even co knocking on my door, wanting to adapt my script? That's fine, but they even want to create a completely original story based on my script, which I've worked so hard on and achieved such good results. What does soone who makes gas know about storytelling? I firmly disagree with them using my story!"
In a small eting room at NHK, several key creators of recent legal drama series were having a small workshop.
The producer of this series usually handles managent affairs beyond creation.
Cooperation with the governnt is sothing he directly agrees with.
In his view, this cooperation isn't a big deal; it's just completing an official political task.
Today, he ntioned this cooperation in passing during the routine workshop.
At first, when he ntioned the copyright cooperation with the governnt, the several screenwriters didn't react much.
But when he ntioned that the cooperation partner was called Gastar Entertainnt, it was like they had touched a certain switch; these screenwriters almost unanimously expressed strong opposition.
This reaction caught the producer off guard.
"This cooperation project is a copyright cooperation with the governnt, which is actually quite beneficial for us. It's like showing so face to the governnt, and your works can also beco more famous in the future."
"No! What kind of thing is an electronic ga? Why should we lower ourselves to cooperate with that?"
Lower ourselves? Isn't it lowering ourselves to sell identical branded large buns on TV shopping? It's just about money.
Sotis, screenwriters, as creatures, really find it hard to understand this kind of mindset.
But the producer had to take the screenwriters' opinions seriously.
Especially one of the screenwriters who had a strong background, being a direct mber of a faction in a newspaper; he was a tough guy in the TV station.
So, he had to reluctantly ntion this matter to the governnt.
Even the governnt couldn't forcibly intervene in such matters; otherwise, it might lead to so unpleasant scandals.
Upon hearing about this matter, the president was sowhat troubled.
He had already promised Takayuki, but now this problem arose unexpectedly, which was a bit unexpected.
Then he tried to talk to the producer and promised so benefits.
But as long as the screenwriters didn't relent, this producer had no solution either.
He could indeed offend these screenwriters a bit, but since they're under the sa roof, it's not good to offend their own people for the sake of outsiders, even though he thought these screenwriters were a bit crazy.
In the end, the president could only give up on this plan, but for a while, he didn't know how to tell Takayuki about this matter.
He had promised it to him before.
And at this mont, Takayuki was still focused on the production of two gas.
Since the production content of the gas has been determined, the remaining task is to proceed with the production of the gas step by step.
Running two gas simultaneously is quite a test for a team.
Fortunately, one of them, Ace Attorney, doesn't require too much effort. Even with a team of over a dozen people, as long as the script and the basic rules of the ga are set, there shouldn't be much difficulty in developnt.
The original Ace Attorney ga in the previous world was completed with very few people and took over eight months.
With the manpower Takayuki can currently command, accelerating developnt is entirely feasible.
However, while Takayuki was still focusing on the preliminary preparations for the gas, the president inford him about the rejection of the cooperation.
"I'm very sorry, President Takayuki, but I've received a reply from NHK, and they seem reluctant to proceed with this cooperation. They may not really need the benefits and fa involved, so they have no plans to produce derivative works."
Takayuki was happy to have initiated this cooperation with the president, but unfortunately, the other party didn't appreciate it at all, even if the governnt offered so benefits.
This really made him feel helpless.
"I see." Takayuki said as he held the phone, then glanced at the employees who were working.
These employees were building the frawork for the gas, mainly for The Sims. Ace Attorney was being handled separately by a team of about twenty more experienced individuals.
Hearing that there was no intention from the other side to cooperate on the production of film and television works, Takayuki didn't think it was a big deal.
He proposed adapting derivative works into gas as a way to give back for the governnt giving him a large piece of land in the most prosperous area for free.
As for adapting the legal drama, he didn't really care.
He wasn't really trying to ride on the popularity of this legal drama; Ace Attorney didn't need that kind of hype. With the ga's strength alone, Takayuki believed it would still receive so recognition, even without the gimmick of being adapted from a film or TV show.
"In that case, let's temporarily suspend this cooperation, but I will continue making the gas. As for whether there will be opportunities for film and television works to be adapted into gas in the future, I can't say for sure. Is this okay?"
"Of course, of course." The president breathed a sigh of relief. When he was explaining to Takayuki just now, he was actually quite tactful, fearing that Takayuki might overthink it.
Now it seed that Takayuki was quite magnanimous, not really concerned about the failure of this cooperation. It seems he had been overly worried.
He was also worried that Takayuki was still young and might be very concerned about such matters.
