Chapter 115: New IP, New Peripherals!
In fact, in a previous life, there was a short film created by fans, which was a pseudo-theatrical version edited by fans from Pokémon of previous generations. It's just a pity that I encountered the old legal department, which directly led to the complete ban of this drama.
However, a few years after this play, the Pokémon movie was born.
And to be honest, in that big movie, the image of Pokémon is still a plush doll.
And not a real Pokémon.
But think about it, at that time, there was already a situation in China that the sale of toys must be original, which is why Pokémon will use plush dolls to star.
Of course, Peng Hui's secret poke and poke speculation is also to show off his skills.
As we all know, the most difficult thing in special effects is hair.
How to make the hair on the surface of the object natural is the most difficult point of special effects.
This is also the reason why when the effect of Head & Shoulders appeared, it was amazing!
But since he plans to do live-action special effects, this actor is okay to say, he can always use a young actor.
It's just right to grow up.
As for anime......
That won't change for 10,000 years.
Ash and Conan are known as the 10,000-year-old immortal of the animation world.
Oh, 10,000 years of elementary school students to be exact.
Even unlike Conan, who is actually a seventeen-year-old minor because of his shrinking body, Ash is a real ten-year-old.
Well, I've always been ten years old.
Of course, what is now in front of Peng Hui is how to commercialize live-action special films.
This is not a joke.
The development of the surrounding area of Pokémon in the previous life was actually not smooth.
Don't look like Pokémon belongs to the world's No. 1 IP, but Pokémon has always had an obvious flaw.
That is the lack of a more competitive merchandise.
Is it because Pokémon are not suitable for this high-competition type of merchandise?
Not.
The real reason is that Pokémon was originally an IP born of a handheld game.
If you launch a more competitive peripheral, no one will play your own handheld game.
But the problem is that Peng Hui's company does not have the premise to become an excellent game company.
In other words, today's Pengda's own game strength is too weak.
It's not to the point where you can launch a handheld of your own.
Don't think that there is no piracy in China, and the handheld will live!
will only die more ugly than anyone else!
Huaxia does not have the habit of buying a handheld!
It's the truth.
In fact, at the beginning, there was a germ of buying a handheld in China.
But the problem is that a handheld is too expensive.
In order to expand the IP, the three royal families launched too many handhelds.
This is nothing for Japan, which is a developed country.
There is nothing for Europe and the United States either.
But for China, which is still in a developing country, it is too difficult.
Spent more than 100 to buy a handheld computer, but it didn't take two years to change to a new one, who has such a mine?
As for this life, the reason is even more nonsense.
Because of the report.
At that time, a foreign IP manufacturer called "Dream Beast" also issued handheld consoles in China.
As a result, an embarrassing scene appeared.
A Chinese manufacturer registered the IP of "Dream Beast" as early as three years ago.
Therefore, according to the calculation of time, the other party infringed.
At this point, all of the Dream Beast's peripherals have been taken off the shelves.
In addition, some foreign IP handhelds have had various problems in China, and handhelds have gradually been eliminated.
Of course, this is also the inevitable result of the end of handheld games after the gradual rise of stand-alone games and console games.
But the problem is that although with today's Pengda's technology, there is no problem in making a handheld, but the handheld market is already half-dead, and in the case of expanding the market in the early stage, Peng Hui cannot only launch a handheld this kind of peripheral.
In fact, in the previous life, Lao Ren had developed the IP of Pokémon to the extreme.
However, it is a pity that after the release of many beautiful and handsome Pokémon, there are still only a few that are truly widely recognized.
And the type of surroundings will always be those daily necessities.
As for the peripherals of the competitive type, there are also them.
There's even a dedicated World Pokémon interactive card contest.
But this kind of thing is a little too difficult to get started.
It's the truth.
Because there are so many Pokémon.
Just in the first handheld version, there are more than 150 kinds of Pokémon.
Then there were eight generations of handhelds and six generations of hosts.
That's a math, thousands of Pokémon.
Not to mention the daily collapse of combat power, all kinds of Pokémon are also abandoned on a daily basis.
The style of painting has become even more bizarre.
I have to say, it's really helpless.
However, when it comes to Peng Hui, he is faced with a very critical problem.
That is the development of Pokémon peripherals.
How can we be competitive and cultivate at the same time?
Cultivate and improve players' awareness of Pokémon IP.
competitiveness, improve the stickiness of fans to this IP.
However, this kind of periphery must be able to provide more possibilities for future IP development.
At the very least, it can't just be a handheld.
So......
Peng Hui fell into deep thought.
Otherwise, there is always something common in this world.
Just when Peng Hui was thinking about how to design the new peripherals, he accidentally thought of the former name of Pokémon.
In fact, when Pokémon rose in the mainland, the more widely circulated name should be "Pokemon".
Later, with the gradual derivation of this IP, people learned that this IP is also called "Pokemon", "Pokemon", and it was renamed "Pokémon" after 19 years.
Wait a minute!
Pokemon?
Peng Hui's eyes lit up suddenly!
Pregnant!
Peng Hui picked up the pen and paper and began to draw.
As a director, even Peng Hui, who is very good at using computers, also has good storyboard painting skills.
A successful director may not be able to write, and he may not have a high degree of education, but he will definitely have his unique storyboard depiction!
Drawing a sketch of a toy with a 3D effect is still very easy for Peng Hui.
That's right, what he's going to do is based on the classic toy of Bandai Namco, another Japanese toy manufacturer, Takuma Utako, which is a fusion of animatronic pets and Pokémon!
It was precisely because of the explosion of Tuoma Gezi that the original version of "Pokémon" was introduced into China in the early days, and the domestic publicity was still based on "Poke Monsters", "Pokemon" and "Pokemon" as the promotional selling point.
And in itself, animatronic pets and Pokémon have a very magical fit.
It's just a pity that Bandai Namco has never been represented by the old Ren, so the animatronic pet and Pokémon have never fused.
But......
This doesn't seem to be difficult for Peng Hui.
