California is a lucky place for Takahashi, the first time he came to California was almost two years ago, when he flew across the sea with Yuji Kudo to help Hudson keep the rights to the game adaptation of "Gold Digger".

Today, Takahashi's Wanhu still maintains a good cooperative relationship with Broadbond, which has become the largest game publisher in North America with a large number of high-quality games represented.

And today, Takahashi once again stepped off the plane and stepped on the land of California, but his identity has changed a lot. From an employee of a top-ranked game company to the boss of a top-ranked game company now.

Takahashi's rise is like a legend. And in this era, countless companies that started with video games are like legends.

Whether it was the one who used to repair the water pipes, or the one who used to sell cards and flowers, or the one who was engaged in the Bo (Harmony) color industry in the past.

Seize the opportunity of the times, grasp the tide of the times, and become a trendsetter. It seems that this is an era of "heroes" and legends.

Perhaps, one day, someone will call this period the golden age of video games.

Of course, the purpose of Takahashi's visit to California this time was not to take over Wanhu North America, or to inspect.

Takahashi has never liked to inspect this kind of activity, and good is good or bad. Although the inspection can make the face project below, it looks like a lot of flowers, but for the real business, how useful is it?

Takahashi's main purpose this time is to have a face-to-face exchange with Lucas, and he meets Lucas's identity, one is as the president of Wanhu, and the other is as the main creator of "Metroid".

Metroid is a game that has been widely welcomed by players in the United States, as Takahashi expected.

Different countries have different cultural atmospheres, and it is natural that the reaction to the same cultural work will also be different.

Although in the eyes of others, in the eyes of the manufacturer of the book, Wanhu's "Metroid" is not a successful work in Wanhu's home console games.

However, after learning that Metroid had achieved good results in the United States, not many game companies were surprised.

Because, everyone is used to the "upset" in the American market.

Even, now almost all the major game manufacturers, as long as they have the ability, are trying to develop the North American market, especially the American market.

As the most developed country in the world, the United States has an objective and huge demand for cultural and entertainment products.

It's not like Europe, where countries are small and the languages are different, and it's too expensive to enter that kind of market.

In North America, there are only two countries, one in the United States and one in Canada. And although there are two countries, the language used in both countries is English.

In other words, the game only needs to be translated into English, and there is no need to translate other languages. And the United States and Canada are both developed countries, with low costs and high profits, so why not give it a try?

You know, the local game market is still hot.

Almost all game manufacturers that have produced best-selling games have a lot of cash in their hands. There must always be an outlet for all this hot money.

Some choose to build a headquarters building, some choose to build a playground related to their own games, and some have reached such a market with huge potential to burn money and fight for a market share.

Because of the existence of Nintendo, although the game manufacturers of the book know the importance of advertising, they are not propaganda-only.

Only when the level of the game crosses the line, they will spell advertisements and publicity.

It is also different from the excessively free American game market at the beginning, and each game manufacturer has a bottom line. And this bottom line is not low in the first place, and it is even higher in the United States.

Therefore, the game manufacturers of this book are like crossing the river one after another.

In a short period of time, it defeated the local game developers in the United States, and earned word of mouth and money in the United States.

Takahashi's 10,000 households also have a lot of hot money in their hands, but unlike most of the game manufacturers, he has invested most of this money in his own home country, China.

Everyone needs a way to burn money, and it doesn't matter who is smarter and who is stupider. Although a large number of decision-makers in the game makers of this book do not understand the huge possibilities in China, they are more likely to regard Takahashi's actions as a kind of feeling.

Probably every successful person has a dream of returning home.

On top of the dream of returning home, it is to build the hometown into a developed and wealthy place.

Takahashi's English is not bad, and although he has an accent, he can also be understood by Americans.

He and Lucas met in Wanhu North America, and the two hit it off after a short conversation.

Takahashi has many ideas and ideas about the film, and it is very consistent with the general direction of Lucas's thinking.

Lucas, who was born in special effects, believes that the future of movies is an era of technology, and visual spectacle will be the mainstream of future commercial films, and although the script is important, a movie without good special effects, even if it has a good script, is like a chicken that has no hair.

Although it is still delicious when baked, it is a difficult problem to attract moviegoers to eat it by virtue of its miserable appearance.

Although it cannot be said that there is no market for feature films at all, there will only be fewer and fewer blockbuster feature films in commercial films.

Takahashi also thinks the same way, he thinks that the commercial film of the future, the highest-grossing film, will be the popcorn movie.

The special effects of popcorn movies will gradually change from the current model special effects to computer special effects.

The two men talked for hours at first sight, and Nick saw this side of his boss as if he were a stranger.

I didn't expect the president to have such an opinion on the movie......

It occurred to Nick that sure enough, anyone's success is inevitable rather than accidental. A person like the president would be a successful person even if he didn't make games.

Nick thought of himself again, watching the boss who was a few years younger than himself talk about something, and Nick suddenly had a sense of crisis.

Recently, it has successfully swept away the formal sense of superiority and expansion of Wanhu North American operations.

I'm still too naïve to learn a ......

After getting their consent, Nick took notes of the meeting.
