Chapter 92 "GAME-KING Takahashi Celebrities VS Maori Celebrities - Sudden! Armageddon"
The formulaic competition process gradually became numb, and all staff members, including Takahashi, entered a burnout period.
If enthusiasm is gone, rules or systems become the norm for maintaining everything. How to make the false become like the real is also a profound knowledge.
Fortunately, the children's insight was limited, and before there were major problems, the National Caravan Tour finally ended.
It cannot be said that I have traveled all over Japan, but it has also let most cities know about Hudson and Space Marine.
Although there are many children who support the game, the only drawback is that with such a strong publicity, the total sales of "Star Marine" still does not exceed one million. It cannot be said that this game is not selling well, but compared with the sales of "Gold Digger" of more than one.2 million games, it is still much less.
Although Hudson did not stop all other activities for the "State Marine" event, most of his energy was also focused on it. The whole company was united, and everyone was thinking about making the total sales of the game "State Marine" exceed one million.
On January 5, 1986, the sky in Tokyo was gloomy, and dozens of children had gathered in the competition studio specially prepared for the "Star Marine Finals".
These children are champions of various competition areas. They are not here today to be contestants, but to be viewers, watching the "State Marriage" finals of "Takahashi Celebrity" and "Maori Celebrity".
It was said to be the finals, but it was not a live broadcast. Several cameras were filming the scene in different camera positions.
The Maori celebrity came on the court first, and when he walked to the spaceship-type competition warehouse, he stood there and welcomed the children below.
He wore a pair of narrow-edged gentle glasses and a pair of black suit pants under his white shirt, which looked very formal.
Takahashi, who came on stage, wore a yellow vest and a red ribbon tied on his forehead. His undecent outfit and his slightly dark complexion made him look healthier and more sporty.
The two of them have very different images and the Takahashi celebrity is like a rough savage like a character in "The Island of Adventure", while the Maori celebrity is more like a fashionable theorist school that only appears in comics now.
"Strength is Takahashi, skills is Maori." This is what Hudson official and the people think of them.
However, since Maori celebrities have always shown themselves as Takahashi celebrity's opponent, they give the children an illusion that he is a competitor from Hudson.
Even some imaginative children speculate that Maori celebrities are employees of Namco or Konami.
As for this Yu-Gi-Oh final, the hairstyle will be in the form of a movie video. The full name of this competition is "GAME-KING Takahashi Celebrity VS Maori Celebrity-Surprise! Great Decisive Battle".
—————
Recording ends.
Takahashi and Maori stood up from the chair because there were so many children watching it live. The competition was not recorded repeatedly.
The scores of both sides seemed to be real to the audience, although Takahashi and Maori were both doing the same as the instructions in the script.
When Takahashi leads and when Maori leads, we studied it for a long time before we finalized it. This is like the beginning, inheritance and turn in the plot of the movie. The entire "GAME-KING Takahashi Celebrity VS Maori Celebrity-Surprise! Great Decisive Battle" is just a movie with heavy advertising attributes.
Takahashi and Maori were both sweaty, not only because the high-brightness fill light was too hot, but also because the two of them had too much pressure to strictly follow the script's instructions.
Take a photo with the children present and say goodbye. These recorded films are immediately sent to the editing, and together with the previous films, they are edited into a complete video.
Takahashi, who was lucky enough to watch the editing, felt the magic of the editing work for the first time. Those clips that even the actors don’t necessarily know what they are expressing can be turned into a good-looking clip through the arrangement and combination of the editor.
Not only that, sometimes a little difference in the arrangement and combination of the same material can make the film express completely opposite meanings.
"Is it interesting?" asked Takahashi, the official editor of Ultraman series.
"Interesting." Takahashi nodded and agreed. As the golden signboard of special films, Ultraman series has an unparalleled influence among children and its ability to attract money. The Gundam robot, which has just emerged for a while, is even slightly weaker in terms of money-making than the Ultraman series.
Electronic games were just a special children's toy at the beginning of their birth in Japan, because the audience of faces was basically the same. Takahashi, an electronic game practitioner, still has a very common language with special photography practitioners like Ultraman.
The film was edited, and the curtains in the conference hall were tightened and turned black.
Yuji Kudo, Hiroshi Kudo, Yukio Dari, Takahashi, Maori Kan, and a number of people from TV stations in the film and television distribution company filled the conference room.
"Let's start." After Yuji Kudo said that, the staff pressed the button of the video recorder, and the projector began to release the edited "GAME-KING Takahashi Celebrity VS Maori Celebrity-Surprise! Great Battle".
At the beginning of the film, through the documentary, the warriors made the styles of the two people different.
Takahashi focused on strength training. The first shot was that he was riding on a rugged mountain road wearing a helmet, then he became a scene of fast climbing, followed by a shot of sawing wood, and then climbing rocks.
This is the person in Hu's picture that has become Maori. He swims in the blue swimming pool, and then sits up in the gym. In order to reflect the "softness", in the blurred background, there are a row of young ladies wearing tight fitness clothes riding bicycles. Next, in the scene of Maori's arm strength, there are still lively figures of young ladies dancing aerobic exercises.
In the following shot, Maori's resolute eyes were featured, and he recorded the soybeans and mung beans on the plates that were shaken by secret equipment with chopsticks, and placed them on different plates respectively.
At this time, the picture changes again. First, there is a close-up of Takahashi's hand constantly pressing the button, then the picture of Takahashi wearing a hard helmet and holding the pile driver, and then Takahashi's fingers pointing the desktop in Izakaya to make all the plates vibrate.
After these three shots, the picture entered the picture of Takahashi's watermelon.
As Takahashi kept ticking his fingers, the innocent watermelon placed on the table was lit up by him.
The scene of "technical training" has passed, and several more scenes of "psychological training" have come.
Chapter completed!
