453 [Game Premiere]

After visiting Square Enix, Summer and the group left there and took a car to the hotel they had booked.

"Ah Tian, why did you suddenly think of buying a game company?" asked Hu Huizhong curiously on the way.

"Because I think video games have a lot of prospects, and the market size will be very large in the future, so I am interested in developing in this field. Summer explained.

"Really, isn't that just for children?" asked Hu Huizhong, puzzled.

"Of course it's more than that. People of all ages, young and old, have a need for entertainment. Children play hide-and-seek and play house, adults play soccer and billiards, and older people play Go and mahjong. Actually, these are all games, and they can all be adapted into video games. Summer said with a smile.

"Believe it or not, in the future, with the development of technology, the graphics of the game will be improved, and then it will be as realistic as the real person. You manipulate your character to run and jump as if you were a real person. At that point, playing games will be more enjoyable than watching movies. Summer said with a smile.

Playing games by yourself, you can manipulate the actions of the characters, life and death, isn't it much better than watching a movie and accepting the arrangements of the screenwriter and director, and it also has a greater sense of substitution.

"Really?!" Hu Huizhong was stunned, a little incredulous.

Because the game screen she just saw was a lump of color blocks, and the characters couldn't even see their facial features clearly. If she wanted to be as realistic as a real person, she couldn't imagine what she would do.

"Of course, I think that's going to be the case in the future. Xia nodded and smiled, "So I'm going to lay out in advance, accumulate experience and fame, and then I can make a lot of money." ”

"Even if you want to enter the game industry, you can't afford to buy that company. The company is small and broken, and the boss is still so hateful, obviously he can't run anymore, and he still looks like he wants to live and die with the company, and he would rather die than sell, as if he is a treasure. Hu Huizhong was unhappy for the summer.

"It's okay. The company belongs to others, and of course people have the right to choose whether to sell or not. Summer waved his hand and said, "But it doesn't matter if he doesn't sell it, all I fancy is talent." ”

"Talent?!" Hu Huizhong was stunned.

"Yes, I think Hironobu Sakaguchi is still a good person, and I want to recruit him. Summer nodded.

"Really, why didn't I see it?" asked Hu Huizhong, puzzled.

In her opinion, Hironobu Sakaguchi is just a young man in his twenties, and his speech and demeanor are very ordinary in all aspects, and she really doesn't see which aspect is more outstanding.

"Of course, you still don't believe my vision. Summer laughed.

"Well, if you say that he is a talent, then he must be a talent. When Hu Huizhong heard him say this, he immediately smiled and nodded.

She doesn't have much confidence in Hironobu Sakaguchi, but she has absolute confidence in summer.

"Good job. Summer touched Hu Huizhong's head affectionately.

……

Day 2, Yokohama Shochiku Hotel.

In the summer, he went alone with an interpreter, leaving Hu Huizhong alone in the hotel.

When he arrived at the Shochiku Hotel, Hironobu Sakaguchi was already waiting outside the door, and after receiving Summer, he immediately brought him into the venue.

"Dear journalists, thank you very much for attending the launch ceremony of the latest game masterpiece "Zombie Family" of the Square Enix Development Department. "This game is adapted from this year's best-selling movie "Zombie Family", and we have specially invited Mr. Summer, the writer and director of "Zombie Family", to meet you. Yes, Mr. Summer, please!"

Ninety percent of the reporters here today were attracted by the summer, otherwise the game conference held by an obscure game developer would not have aroused their interest at all. So when I heard that summer was coming, everyone applauded.

Amid warm applause, Summer walked into the venue with Hironobu Sakaguchi, "Thank you, thank you!" He smiled and waved to the reporters, and then sat on the stage with several game developers such as Hironobu Sakaguchi and Hiromichi Tanaka, ready to be interviewed by the reporters.

"Okay, now for the reporter's question session. ”

Masashi Miyamoto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that summer was so popular with reporters. With the help of summer promotion, it is more likely that "Zombie Family" will achieve good sales. In this way, I can also explain to my father.

"Xia Sang, the box office of "Midnight Bell" has accumulated to 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, do you have anything to say about this?"

""Midnight Bell" is so high at the box office, do you have any plans to shoot a sequel?"

"Mr. Haruki Kadokawa said that Kadokawa Bookstore has obtained the rights to adapt the novel "Midnight Bell", and I wonder who will write the novel and when it will meet readers?"

Reporters scrambled to ask.

Hearing that the reporters were asking questions about "Midnight Bells" and not mentioning their own games, Miyamoto Masashi suddenly turned dark and depressed.

"Make no mistake, you were invited by me to participate in the launch of our game, how can you ask questions that are not related to the game? He complained in his heart, but he did not dare to give his opinion to the reporters.

The reason is simple, because Square Enix is not strong enough to deter these reporters, and instead he has to beg these reporters to say more good things about his game. Therefore, he had to offer these reporters as living ancestors, so naturally he didn't dare to give his opinions. I just hope that after the reporters ask the questions about "Midnight Bell", they will ask him about the "Zombie Family" game by the way, otherwise his debut will be in vain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the launch of the Zombie Family game, and my questions are limited to this game. As for other issues, let's find another time to talk about it, and don't make it difficult for the organizers. Just when Masashi Miyamoto was depressed, he heard Summer smile slightly.

Hearing him say this, although the reporters were very reluctant, they had no choice but to nod their heads and agree.

When Masashi Miyamoto saw that Xia said everything, these reporters were obedient and couldn't help but be envious.

"When will I have this kind of prestige? He sighed, and suddenly felt that it seemed that it would be good to sell the company to Summer. At least the back of the tree is good to enjoy the shade, do not have to be exposed to the sun and rain by yourself, and work hard.

……

"Xia San, why did you adapt 'Zombie Family' into a game?" a reporter raised his hand and asked.

"The reason is simple. Because movies are a kind of entertainment, and video games are a kind of thing, as long as it can bring joy to everyone, I am willing to try to do it. Summer smiled.

"So why did you leave this game to Square Enix, as far as I know, it's just a very small game developer, and it hasn't ever put out any decent titles. A reporter raised his hand and asked.

When Masashi Miyamoto, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Hiromichi Tanaka and others heard this, they couldn't help but turn dark. Although Square Enix is indeed as small and unknown as he said, is it really good for you to slap your face like this?!

"I gave the game to them because I was impressed by their sincerity. Natsu said with a smile, "I didn't have much confidence in them at first, but Mr. Hironobu Sakaguchi was very sincere. At the time, I was running a promotion campaign for "Zombie Family", and I needed to run many, many places. In order to convince me, Mr. Sakaguchi followed me and introduced his ideas to me, over and over again, tirelessly, and finally I was moved by his persistent spirit, so I decided to give him the game adaptation rights of "Zombie Family". ”

After Hironobu Sakaguchi listened to Summer's words, the whole person suddenly became Spartan. When did I do that, I have been following in the footsteps of summer, and I still take the trouble to introduce my thoughts, what kind of thing is this!!

"Sakaguchi-kun, I really didn't expect you to suffer so much, it's really hard for you!" Hiromichi Tanaka whispered.

Masashi Miyamoto also cast a grateful glance at Hironobu Sakaguchi, but he didn't expect him to contribute so much to Square Enix silently.

"......" Hironobu Sakaguchi blinked, and had to accept the credit with a smile.

"Xia San, are you still satisfied with this game?" the reporter raised his hand again and asked.

"Very satisfied. Summer nodded and smiled, "To tell you the truth, I can't put it down after I saw this game, and I played all night last night." ”

"......" Hironobu Sakaguchi couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that summer really likes to make up stories.

He didn't get the game cartridge yesterday, so how could he play all night.

But when he says that, it's naturally good for the game promotion. I really can't criticize him.

……

After the interview, it will be time to try the game.

Square Enix specially prepared four game consoles for reporters to try out.

Summer was also the first time I saw the outer packaging of the "Zombie Family" game cartridge.

On the package, Xia and Lin Zhengying are holding a camera and a peachwood sword, fighting against male zombies and female zombies. Both zombies are blue-faced fangs, with ten pointed fingers and hateful faces. The little zombie in the corner has big eyes and is very cute.

After inserting the cassette, Summer and the reporters had a two-player mode.

This time he used a character named "Ah Long", presumably borrowing the names of Cheng Long and Bruce Lee.

Aaron also has two moves, one is to use the camera's flash to carry out a long-range attack on zombies. Zombies that are illuminated by the flash will be purified, similar to the "Holy Light" used by the Priest to exorcise demons. Such a strange setting makes Summer a little speechless. Another trick is to attack with legs, presumably borrowing from Bruce Lee's "Li Sanjiao".

Summer tried the game with the reporter, and the two cooperated tacitly, and knocked down the third hurdle all the way before losing at the hands of the doctor.

"Alas, alas. The reporter said regretfully.

He was having a good time, but he didn't expect to be killed by the boss.

"How's that guys, this game isn't bad, right?" asked Summer with a smile. (To be continued.) )
