Chapter Eighty-Three: Proposals: Grading

Barrister Haysen walked as if with the wind.

The little female lawyer next to him who had just graduated and came to this position as his assistant had a strange feeling in her heart when she looked at this legendary boss.

It seems that the Mediterranean Sea of Heisen is not the Mediterranean of a greasy middle-aged man, but a Mediterranean with taste, status and characteristics.

Regardless of what Hai Sen thinks about such a smart girl who thinks she is young and beautiful and graduated from an Ivy League university, what he wants to do now has nothing to do with Fengyue, but on the contrary, it is extremely serious.

"I think we need to be graded!" he said, holding a large pile of papers in his hand, and spoke his proposal to a meeting of hundreds of people.

"Video games need to be graded!" his sonorous voice, as if he had taken ten catties of secret aphrodisiac from Peru, his voice echoed in the conference hall and could not be dissipated for a long time.

The eyes of other state lawmakers were focused on Haysen.

Every member of parliament here has behind them the interest groups they represent.

Barrister Haisen also has it, and the interest group behind him is the former Wanhu North America, which has just been renamed Wanhu Interactive Entertainment.

What does Wanhu Interactive Entertainment do, no one present is unclear, they are making video games!

The spokesperson of the manufacturer and distributor of video games suddenly said that he would submit a video game rating bill, and I am afraid that many people think that this is a loss of mind!

But none of the parliamentarians here are stupid.

When they heard Haisen's proposal, they all began to think about what it was that pushed Wanhu Interactive Entertainment behind Haisen to want to engage in a video game rating system, and what benefits would they gain by doing so.

There are many channels for the parliamentarians here to get information.

Many people remembered the topic of public opinion caused by "Grand Theft Auto" some time ago.

Although the influence of the newspaper "Sun Congregation" is not very great, he still influences many middle-aged people.

So a vigorous campaign to smash game consoles began.

The fathers picked up sledgehammers and swung them at the video game console!

This is not a one-shot problem.

The price of a home game console is generally around $200, and even a second-hand game console of this generation costs $100!

Whether the game cartridge is new or second-hand, it can cost tens of dollars, to say the least.

Some fathers smashed it while their children were not at home, and some smashed it while their children were playing games. What's more, the child is tied to a chair and let him watch his favorite video game consoles and video games smashed into powder but unable to do anything about it.

The sport of sledgehammers has attracted a lot of media attention.

After all, it's not often that catches the eye.

You know, it's not easy to make a newspaper.

No one likes to see John's dog lost every day, and the king of the Job family next door is gone.

People are born with a desire to destroy, and I don't know how many people like to see fun things like smashing game consoles.

Even......

Some people rely on the psychology of not thinking that it is a big deal to look at the brain, and they have made this a large-scale event.

An interesting point for Americans is also here.

When the whole world is making ice bucket challenges for ALS, asking for donations and welfare.

There is a group of Americans who actually feel that the ice bucket challenge is not enjoyable, and instead choose the boiling water challenge.

That's right, it's no longer a big bucket of ice water poured over the head, it's a big bucket of boiling water poured over the head.

You know, the average person really doesn't have the courage to let himself be doused like a poultry with leg hair.

It's a chicken that has been watered, and as long as it's alive, it's going to be as calm, quiet, and leisurely as those fun-seeking Americans......

Although the United States is the most developed country in the world, it should not overestimate the ordinary American people.

Anti-video games are on the rise in the United States, and it's not good for any video game company that has a business in the United States.

At this time, it is understandable that the spokesperson of Wanhu Interactive Entertainment has come up with such a proposal.

You know, in the field of videotapes and books, there has long been a grading system.

It is generally divided into thirteen, sixteen and eighteen.

Grade 13 means that children under the age of thirteen can watch this book and watch this videotape, which means that this is a work for all ages, without any uncomfortable content.

Level 16 means that this is a product that can only be purchased by people from the age of sixteen and above. The implication is that there's something restrictive about it, but it's not excessive.

Works of this grade can be sold on the shelves of the store, but at the time of sale, the salesperson has to determine the age of the purchaser.

And the eighteenth grade works are games that children under the age of eighteen cannot touch.

Generally speaking, such games cannot be placed on the shelves for sale, and no promotional posters can be hung.

In other words, if you want to buy it, you can only go to a store that sells such products and connect with the salesperson to get these products that will not be on the shelves.

You know, for any kind of entertainment product, publicity is crucial.

If the grade is rated as eighteen, it will basically be out of contact with the public.

Of course, there are some small companies that specialize in eating the eighteen forbidden meals.

After all, if large companies don't want to do this market, small companies won't be sidelined.

Although the total market capacity may not be large, it is more survivable for small companies.

It's like in the United States, in addition to Hollywood, there is a group of people who make B-movies, that is, CULT movies.

The so-called CULT movies are those works with small budget, weird styles, strange themes, strong personal opinions, and very controversial works.

Actually, it is a very normal thing for CULT films to be in this style.

Why?

Because of the cost, you can't fight for Hollywood blockbusters.

In the case of small cost, if you want someone to come and see, you must be very curious.

However, it is such a wonderful flower, but many people like to see it.

It has even given birth to the prototypes of many excellent films.

If video games do start grading, it won't necessarily be a bad thing for many small companies.

It's a big deal to make the game more and more important, and it's better to be more and more curious.

Of course, for big players like Wanhu Interactive Entertainment, what are the benefits of the video game rating system?

That is, they can be judges, they can decide what level a video game is.

That's right, in the grading system in the United States. The organization responsible for the hierarchy is not the government but such and such an association.

And the big companies in the industry are often senior members of this association.

It's really good to be both an athlete and a referee!
