Chapter 1123: A Way to Brush Up Your Favor
Ludao, Zhilan Hotel Chain Bee Garden Branch.
Elevator doors open and close, and passengers come in and out.
In the corner of the car, Zhang Ping stood facing the wall of the car, behind his boyfriend who was not worry-free.
The stainless steel compartment wall is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a delicate and pretty face. But she knew in her heart how much makeup was applied to this face.
Thinking of the dark circles on her face, she couldn't help but want to step on the guy behind her.
Tang Jiayi took the child to Qinling to find her father, and only she and Fang Junqi were left in a huge house. Because Brother Fang complained that the house was too big and it was a lot of trouble to live in, Mrs. Ma arranged for them to go to this Zhilan Hotel. The hotel is opposite the bee garden, after breakfast walk a few steps to the unit, you can come back at noon to take a nap, it is not too convenient.
Unfortunately, staying in a hotel is not all about benefits. Due to star positioning, Zhilan's room decoration is only at the midstream level, and the sound insulation ability is not particularly good. Then they encountered a more embarrassing thing last night, a pair of dog men and women lived next door, and they fought until one o'clock before they rested.
The reason why she knows so clearly is not that she has any hobby of listening to the corner, but that someone is too strong in comparison, and actually has an endurance competition with the next door. In the end, relying on the young resistance and the assistance of props, Fang Junqi had the last laugh, but paid the price of panda eyes.
"Ding!"
The elevator door opened again, and the second floor where the restaurant was located arrived, Zhang Ping put away his small complaints and beckoned his boyfriend to leave. Speaking of which, this guy isn't having a good time right now!
There are few breakfast styles, only tofu brain, rice porridge, buns, fritters, fortunately, there are both sweet, salty and spicy, and the supply is sufficient, so it is no problem to meet most of the needs.
After putting the tray and the two sat and ate opposite each other, Zhang Ping asked about her boyfriend's new job.
This guy was transferred to the third development department of Bee Kagesuke yesterday, and his job also changed from a production line screw to an arcade/simulator development assistant.
"To say that he is an assistant is to be a guinea pig for people and a tester for new equipment. ”
Zhang Ping blinked, "That's not bad, being able to play the latest games and equipment." ”
"How can it be so simple?" Fang Junqi stopped the spoon and said a long sentence: "The game testers are also three, six, nine, etc., the guys in the UEL Experience Center are the coolest, and the CSE aquatic group is the second, and the research and development test is the most difficult." ”
"Why?"
"Isn't this obvious?uel simulation players are responsible for cooling, CSE simulation review is responsible for picking thorns, and R&D testing is responsible for eating insects and pricking, and there are not too many bugs in the development version!"
"Then why don't you change?" Zhang Ping glanced at his boyfriend, and did not find an expression of anger and disappointment on the other party's face, obviously he still liked the job.
"It's a bit hard to do, but it's something new to learn, and it's a lot of fun. ”
"For example?"
"Yesterday I tested the 'Earth Reconstruction Project VR', and I felt very emotional about fighting bugs with a headset. The group I'm going to today is said to be doing Ultraman somatosensory games, and you can wreak havoc in Tokyo, so it's a sensation just to think about!"
Hearing that it was an Ultraman game, Zhang Ping's sensitivity as a pre-journalist quickly went online, "By the way, which company's license is the game?
"It's Bandai's, and it can also be said to be Tsuburaya's. ”
Frowning slightly, Zhang Ping whispered, "This seems to be illegal, right?"
The creator of the Ultraman series of tokusatsu dramas is Tsuburaya Productions, a family business founded by Eiji Tsuburaya, a family business that has created the "Ultraman" IP with a history of more than 50 years. However, since the beginning of the new century, the company's business situation has deteriorated, and it has had to sell the rights to develop peripheral goods to the toy giant Bandai.
This is tantamount to quenching his thirst by drinking a dove, even if the work is very popular, Tsuburaya can only earn a hard-earned money, and if the work is cut in half by the TV station, Tsuburaya will have to bear the loss. After several times, the Tsuburaya family finally couldn't hold on and sold the company to TYO, a Tokyo-based advertising agency, in 2007. The latter, who also had no experience in the development of special effects dramas, soon sold his shares to Bandai and Fields, which specialized in prize pachinko games.
Relying on Ultraman gambling machines and Ultraman figures, Bandai and Fields have a variety of beautiful days. Tsuburaya, the creator of the IP, can only fry nostalgic cold rice over and over again, and then launch some advertisements with the theme of "toy transformation", which has to be said to be a great irony.
What's even more embarrassing is that in the 70s, Tsuburaya cooperated with Thai Caiyao (Chaiyo) to shoot two "Ultraman Gaiden" customized for the Thai market, which took over and left copyright loopholes. In 1998, the Thai side came up with a "1976 contract", claiming that Tsuburaya and them would "exchange seven for two", exchanging the overseas use rights of seven early works for the use rights of two collaborative films in the island country.
The quality of the two biography is average, and the popularity is extremely limited, and it is obviously unreasonable to exchange seven more classic old works for them, but the judge who heard the relevant lawsuit is not surnamed Wang. Then Tsuburaya was tragic, at the beginning of the century was the most embarrassing time for the company, although they won the appeal lawsuit in Thailand, but lost the final lawsuit in the island country and Huaxia one after another, and Thailand Caiyao used this as a basis to sell the overseas use rights of nine works to the island country UM company, which came forward to continue to sell the so-called "Ultraman copyright".
This is very embarrassing, Tsuburaya is recognized as the "Ultraman family" in the world, but the rights and interests related to Ultraman are incomplete, and the overseas rights and interests related to the nine Ultraman films belong to the island country UM Company "according to law". The two Gaidens don't matter, but the popular characters in the seven old works have appeared in many follow-up works, and the lack of overseas copyright has had a great impact on subsequent development. Although others can get the authorization to use the old characters "legally" from UM, they can't get the support of Ultraman fans, and it is a lose-lose or even lose-lose situation.
"It's indeed illegal," Fang Junqi sneered, "This game was originally only released in island countries, and it was never intended to enter the domestic market. Doing this now is just to brush up on a wave of favorability from Ultraman fans. ”
The 10th of this month is the anniversary of Ultraman's appearance, Blue Fox Animation and Leshi Pictures released a high-profile domestic movie "Goodbye Ultraman", and their role use authorization is from the island country UM, which immediately caused an uproar in the fan circle, and Blue Fox tore Olympic fans, which was very lively for a few days.
"Hey, you're really going to rub the hot spots. ”
…… Scene Jump ......
Half an hour later, the third development department of the Bee Shadow Auxiliary Company.
Fang Junqi was observing the new working environment, and he came to report after breakfast, and then he was brought here.
"Da Da!" the high heels made a rhythmic crisp sound as they stepped on the concrete floor.
He followed behind the OL beauty, but he turned a blind eye to the scenery in front of him, and his eyes were just wildly discharging at the machines with different shapes on both sides. These things are VR simulators or somatosensory arcade machines, because they are semi-finished products, displays, hydraulic rods, motors, gear sets, sensors, cables and other objects are exposed everywhere, and the mechanical beauty is simply overflowing.
Most boys have an obsession with machinery and electronics, and Fang Junqi is no exception, otherwise he would not have insisted on applying for the mechanical automation major. For him, it's a paradise, and the thought of having the opportunity to be a part of development and manufacturing makes him tremble.
The boy's expression behind him naturally did not escape the observation of the secretary's sister in front of him. Fortunately, she has been working here for two years, and she has seen a lot of all kinds of mechanical enthusiasts, and she does not suspect that her charm has declined.
Bypassing several busy groups, the secretary's sister stopped in front of the group and introduced the identities of both sides.
"Team Leader Su, this is Fang Junqi, a sophomore in Shandong University, and a new summer intern this year. ”
"Xiao Fang, this is Team Leader Su Ying, who is currently leading the team to produce Ultraman Simulator, so you can join them next!"
Su Ying is not very old, with a lean hair, a normal figure, fair skin, and a fairly clean chin shaving, but unfortunately the two oil stains on the forehead have ruined the image. Hearing that the newcomer was just an intern, his sword eyebrows immediately furrowed, but they quickly relaxed. The one who brought someone over was the secretary of the top boss Zhao Xilin, but it was not good to go back in person.
But when Fang Junqi opened his mouth to say hello, his eyebrows furrowed for the second time, this guy seemed to be the person from last night.
Without rushing to attack, Su Ying asked Fang Junqi a few professional questions. Seeing that the answer to the law was not bad, he nodded and said: "The end of the month is CJ, we need to work overtime to catch up with the project recently, this month is open, go back at night and have a good rest, no problem, right?"
No matter how sluggish Fang Junqi was, he should have heard that something was wrong, so he had to promise hard: "No problem, I will definitely work hard!"
"That's good," sent the person, the female secretary immediately said goodbye, this is not a place she should stay for a long time, after staying for a long time, she will go back with the smell of engine oil, and she is afraid that this high-end suit on her body will be ruined.
"Da Da Da!"
The voice faded away, the figure disappeared, and everyone also recovered from the suppression of the aura.
Glaring at his subordinates who were in a posture of staring, Su Ying roared, "What are you looking at?
At his yell, everyone started to move and get busy around a silver machine.
It was made up of many thin rods, and it looked like several enlarged stickmen tied together with tubes and huge palms and feet.
Noticing the depressed expression on the newcomer's face, Su Ying smiled evilly and asked, "How is it, Xiao Fang?"
"Ah," Fang Junqi hurriedly came back to his senses and asked in surprise, "Now, isn't it not done yet?"
"It's been done a long time ago, but now it's just running-in and debugging," Team Leader Su shook his head and corrected, "These things will be for ordinary users in the future, and the operation methods are very simple, and no special training is required." By the way, how much do you know about Ultraman?"
"It's okay, I saw it when I was a child, and now I'm a passerby. ”
"That's okay," Su Ying nodded, and greeted everyone, "Wu Ping, Tea Sage, stop for a while, let the newcomers experience our products." ”
Hearing that the newcomer was going to be a guinea pig, the other two immediately became overjoyed, and quickly walked over and pulled Fang Junqi to the frame shaped like a steel pipe man, stuffed his hands and feet into shoe covers and gloves to fix them, and took out a roll of fixing straps to tie his limbs and torso to the corresponding position of the "steel pipe man".
They were busy there, and Team Leader Su also opened his mouth next to him: "This thing is the 'ultra-light outward worn mecha simulator' developed by our three departments." As you can see, these tubes are hydraulic hoses that can apply assistance or resistance to the player's limbs depending on the game's plot, which can significantly improve the operating experience of mecha VR games. It's not helpful to say more, just try it yourself. ”
Fang Junqi tried to move, but it felt like he was stuck in a quagmire and quicksand, and his limbs were heavy and sluggish.
Seeing that he gritted his teeth and worked hard, Wu Ping on the side hurriedly stopped, "Don't worry, the machine hasn't started yet, just wait." ”
As he spoke, he clasped a PD7 headset to the other party and helped tighten the tie. He helped the blind intern to the side, pulled the crane arm to hang behind him, and Wu Ping helped turn on the simulator and headset, and then let go and hide to the side.
After the machine was started, Fang Junqi obviously felt that the restraint on his body had become a lot lighter, and he reached out and kicked his legs and jumped on the spot according to the prompts on the screen in front of him, and gradually had a new feeling.
As Team Leader Su said, this equipment can indeed bring a sense of damping and propulsion when exercising, but the former is significantly stronger than the latter, and the overall feeling is like suddenly becoming a fat man of 300 pounds, and the actual experience is not related to comfort.
I was wondering why I wanted to make such a cheating machine, and as soon as the screen changed, "Ultraman Fighting Evolution VR" jumped in front of me. Fang Junqi didn't rush to start the game, but moved his eyes to look at the copyright notice below, and sure enough, he saw the words Tsuburaya Production Co., Ltd. and Banpresto, followed by Bee Games.
Banpresto is a game production and distribution company owned by Bandai Namco, specializing in manga adaptations. Licensed by Bandai, the company has produced several "Ultraman Fighting Evolution" series of games. Fang Junqi has played the simulator version of "Fighting Evolution 4" on the computer, and knows that this is a high-fidelity bizarre fighting game, players can choose to control the giant Ultraman and monsters to fight between small city high-rise buildings, and the art style is very different from other fighting works.
It's a pity that after "Martial Arts Evolved 0" landed on the PSP platform in 2006, Bandai Namco temporarily shelved the series and did not launch a sequel for a full decade.
The version he is playing now is actually a VR game launched by Bee Games and Banpresto. The latter is responsible for providing story and character supervision, and Beegame solves technical problems related to modeling, programming, and VR. With their help, the game's slightly cheating graphics have been significantly improved, adding destructible buildings and NPCs that can be easily interacted with, Ultraman needs to pay attention to protecting buildings and pedestrians during battles, while the monsters do not have such "troubles" and can wreak havoc as they want. Both protection and destruction,Becoming a Buddha and becoming a demon is only in one thought.,The new work is really well received by players.。
Due to the copyright problem of the cheating father, this game was only released in the island country PT/PC/PS version, but now it has been made into a somatosensory game console to participate in Chinajoy at the end of the month, which is obviously the rhythm of things.
