Chapter 736: Fist to Flesh
On July 15th, two weeks after the launch of the Tiankun game console. "Eight" "Eight" "Reading" book, .∞.o◎
Los Angeles, Southern California.
Muscleman Arnold returns to his small cottage in Beverly Hills after a day of filming.
I saw his wife, who had been married for more than a year, sitting on the sofa facing a game console for the first time, awkwardly pressing, and questioning him: "Arnold, when did you play the game again? I haven't heard of any endorsement authorization you have signed recently." ”
"I haven't signed any new endorsements, you say games? Isn't it just Future Soldier with Sylvester a few years ago? Otherwise, it is the packaging long-term contract signed for Tiankun at the beginning. Arnold was a little confused, and could only answer like this.
He just didn't go home for more than a month because he took a film, and he didn't care about what happened in the outside world.
Since getting a small dividend from "The Terminator" seven years ago, Arnold has changed to a decent house, but not to the point where he can buy a villa in Beverly Hills. Later, after a few years of struggle, and a year and a half ago I married my wife, it can be regarded as a big step in my life.
His wife, Maria, is JFK's niece's daughter - in fact, if it weren't for this resource, he would not have been able to become governor in the future.
With some sponsorship from his wife's mother's family, they bought a small cottage in Beverly from the time they got married in '86.
However, including the garden, it occupies 800 square meters, which is equivalent to 0.2 acres. There is still a big gap compared to those who "Beverly Hills mansions should not exceed one and a half acres" with the top grid configuration big names.
There's no way, a place like Hollywood has never said that it can rise steadily for a lifetime. It may be an opportunity before the age of 30, and the vast majority of the money that can be earned in a lifetime will be earned, and then go downhill for half a lifetime.
Arnold made movies for the next seven years, and all the salaries added up were not as much as the salary of "Terminator" and the follow-up game endorsement authorization.
The most terrible thing is that Director Cameron, who had the grace of knowing back then, since "Terminator" exploded to make money, the blind temper has come up again, in the past seven years, except for a commercial film "Alien" that is rushing to make money, and there is no need for human super soldiers, the rest are especially documentaries with literary and artistic feelings, and there is no money at all.
Arnold himself can only take on series such as "Devil XXX" with other directors for many years, all kinds of super soldier routines, and the filming is disgusting, and the box office is not good.
There is a comparison that hurts.
It's still reliable with the old club when it first became popular, and it will be ten years for one vote.
"Since it is a long-term contract, it will definitely settle the bill at that time, and you don't have to worry about infringement by yourself. You're tired too, so take a shower and eat first. Maria listened to her husband's explanation, and she didn't bother anymore.
If there is an endorsement for a long contract, if it is infringed by a small company of cats and dogs, the company holding the long-term contract will also help the celebrity subrogate to protect his rights, and he doesn't even have to find a lawyer himself, which saves a lot of trouble. ¤八¤八¤Read¤Book,.☆.←o
Arnold, who was already tired as a dog, went to the bathroom to soak in the bathroom to relieve fatigue, and then ate five handfuls of his wife's freshly fried tomahawk steak.
As a bodybuilding world champion at over 260 pounds, the appetite is so terrifying, and when you are tired and hungry, Tomahawk steak can eat five handfuls in one meal. Anyway, this thing is a protein supplement, there is no fat and sugar, and you are not afraid to eat it.
While eating, Arnold asked his wife, "I rarely see you playing games, aren't you not interested in that kind of vulgar stuff?" ”
Maria watched her husband eat steak, and was very relieved, and replied gently: "I heard from a friend of the publishing house, as well as a colleague, that the new game endorsed by you has been very popular recently." I'm curious, I haven't heard you say it, so I'll buy it myself and take a look, and I won't play and press it blindly.
But seriously, I think the new game is really good now, I didn't expect the technology to be so advanced, the "Future Soldier" I heard a few years ago, and the paste image on the cover is like you and Sylvester, and when you enter the game operation interface, the villain can't see the details clearly. It's good now, whether it's fighting or passing, the muscles of the limbs and the details of the whole body are too similar. ”
As she spoke, Maria couldn't help but caress Arnold's muscles, looking for similarities and differences. The two have been married for less than two years, and they are still quite fresh.
Arnold couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He knows his wife's preferences, and his wife is also a literati and columnist, although the things he writes don't sell much, but he is said to have a lot of feelings and a sense of social responsibility. And the uncle is the late JFK, as long as you write about social issues, there are always publishers in the United States who are willing to publish it.
This kind of literary young woman, who usually hates video games the most, now actually finds it fun and feels that "from an artistic point of view, it is vivid".
Well, that game must be doing well.
At least from the technical point of view of the current era, it is very good.
Arnold finished his tomahawk, wiped his mouth, sat down in front of the television, and looked at the machine.
It was a very high-tech, mysterious and generous pure black matte matte matte machine, and even installed a breathing lamp.
Arnold didn't know the definition of "breathing light" at this time, he just looked at the gradient color of the boot indicator light is very cool, and the design is very exquisite, it is the kind of "see the light but not the light", the light source is hidden in the dark groove of the case, only the reflected light can be faintly revealed.
The game cartridge inserted in the machine is actually called "Tomahawk", no wonder his wife thought of frying Tomahawk steak for him on a whim today.
Just after eating the tomahawk, I came to fight the tomahawk, and it was very emotional to think about it.
Arnold picked up the manual, read the instructions for a while, and then jumped to the beginning.
He is a super strong man, with big hands and feet, and it will be very uncomfortable to play games with an ordinary person's controller, because it is too small and does not meet the ergonomic characteristics.
The feeling is similar to the feeling of the big shark O'Neill drinking mineral water and drinking the liquid from the mouth, he has to pout, and the thief is uncomfortable.
A few years ago, he also played Nintendo's Fc game console in his spare time - of course, his Tiankun's original machine also has it, and he usually uses Tiankun's machine most of the time, and the reason why he plays Fc is mainly for one or two Nintendo's exclusive games. It is also normal for these rich people to buy a game console of any brand.
As a result, the small plate handle on the red and white machine that could not be replaced with the machine made him feel uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to poke it with tweezers.
Tian Kun, a new game console called Ps, is very considerate, $398 luxury version, you can also choose a specific size of peripherals, so Maria chose this set of handles, are the largest, there are two arc-shaped fan plastic brackets under the handle, seemingly useless, when people with big hands use it, they can feel the amazing fit and comfortable feel.
"In the end, it's made of Tiankun, and the comfort is different. Arnold couldn't help but praise it, and immediately began to fight.
Because of the fit of the handle, the handiness of the rubbing is very good.
Arnold manipulated a two-handed heavy sword barbarian warrior with a very high similarity to his image in "Barbarian Conan", chopping melons and vegetables to amplify his moves, and quickly killed the boss of the third or fifth level, and was consumed by the enemy in the sixth level because he was not familiar with the boss's playing skills.
Of course, it took four hours to decisively adjust the difficulty, fight repeatedly, figure out the monster's routine, and finally get through it for the first time.
By the time I cleared the level, the machine was already hot. When I inserted and removed the cassette, my hand rubbed against the metal slot, and it burned faintly.
But my heart is still in my heart, and I can't finish recalling the effect of that picture.
Even with the previous generation of machines, it is not difficult to make the textures realistic and high-definition pixels. However, the image quality of many game consoles cannot be improved, and the key is that it cannot handle as many disaggregated image elements.
For example, Fc's Super Mario, if you want to magnify Mario's pixel fineness by ten times, of course, it is not difficult. But if you want to make Mario's action details, from "two feet take turns flashing and disappearing/appearing", which shows the movement of the character, to a fine expression of n frames of fine movement, it will be very resource-intensive, and Fc is a little unbearable.
The gap between arcade and home machines, herein.
And "Tomahawk" on PS, the picture quality enjoyment is obviously not lost at all, including the Sega arcade game that was newly launched last year, this kind of experience has never been experienced on the TV at home.
"That's cool, what's the cassette?" Arnold continued to flip through and find a disc of "Street Fighter".
He didn't know that this Street Fighter was a different version of the Alternate Plane Demon.
Anyway, Gu Biao has a long-term contract for the game endorsement signed at the original low price, and if he has more endorsements, he will give hundreds of thousands of dollars more, and he doesn't have to worry about the price starting after the star becomes popular.
Therefore, in this "Street Fighter", the two characters of the American military officers Nash and Gere, who originally had the background of the F-14 Panda fighter in the home battle, were directly replaced with the images of Arnold and Sylvester.
And the Chinese-style fighters in it are no longer just supported by a woman Chunli as in history. A male gladiator in the image of Lee was also added.
Arnold, of course, chose his role first, and then chose the computer opponent as Sylvester, and fought hard. Then the computer opponent was selected as the opponent Li in "The Terminator" that year.
I have to say that the first-party design of Tiankun is very exquisite, and in the case of limited technical parameters, Tiankun's artists and sound engineers strive for excellence. The process of each trick is matched with the number of frames, the sound effects and the strength of the picture, and the sense of impact is full.
It gives people a sense of presence that is really fist-to-flesh and fierce.
At least for players in the late 80s, this was already the most immersive experience.
"Awesome!{excellent}"
"Perfect!"
"Awesome!{wonderful}"
"Spiral Ascending to Heaven!{unbeliveable}"
"You're so cool!{magnificent}"
After smashing the handle for a quarter of an hour and slapping his thigh, Arnold quickly justified the vocabulary of English - at least when it comes to expressing vulgar words such as true ** cool, the amount of English vocabulary is still quite rich.
{This is not what Gu Biao said, it was said by a certain student of Gu Biao's Foreign Affairs Academy and a famous football commentator.} There are too few elegant words that can be used in Chinese to lament the goal}
"Arnold, stop playing, don't you hear the doorbell ringing! I look at the CCTV, it seems to be Mr. Sears. ”
When Arnold screamed, his wife finally couldn't bear it anymore and had a seizure.
Arnold got up and went to open the door to greet the agent.
When Mr. Sears entered the door, he did not talk politely to him, and first threw a brown paper envelope on the coffee table: "I heard that you are back, and I have come to send you money." Here is the check for 500,000 yuan, the endorsement fee for these new games of Tiankun this year.
Also, Director Cameron has a plan, which is also the proposition above, I think the second half of the year is busy, and after the Christmas holiday, I won't give you new jobs. ”
"Does Boss Gu finally have another project that has been approved?" 11
