Chapter 1400 I can't do it, there is a boss
Chapter 1400 couldn't be done, and the boss Wu Zhaopu took out a yellow cassette and shook it a few times in front of Lin Feng, looking proud. ()
Lin Feng looked at it and took a cool breath. Isn't this yellow cassette the same cassette from the game I used to play when I was a kid - "Contra".
"Mr. Wu, this is" Lin Feng took the cassette and felt for a while.
When I was a child, I dreamed of this cassette for a long time, and begged my parents for a long time to get such a cassette. When I got it, I couldn't sleep all night. Every day, you can enter the secret book on "up and down baba", and start the 30-life breakthrough. Lin Feng remembered that he liked to use the "laser" weapon inside, although the range was relatively single, and it could only attack in a straight line, but the power was huge, especially when the "bullet" button was pressed, the "laser" was stored in the muzzle, and the power was the greatest at that time.
Of course, Lin Feng also likes to use a bullet that can only hit single-line beans, and after "eating" a bullet acceleration prop, the beans are like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, which is quite refreshing.
A sigh. I don't know how many people this "Contra" has brought laughter and made many people's childhood full of fun!
"By the way, Mr. Wu, how did you get the copyright of "Contra"?" Lin Feng was surprised.
Lin Feng remembered that "Contra" was a super hit work of the "Konami" company, and it was a game that was enough to compete with "Super Mario". Lin Feng still remembers that many follow-up works were launched later, but most of them were not as popular as this most original "Contra". But now Lin Feng is curious about how Wu Zhaopu was able to get the copyright of "Contra" from the "Konami" company, although it is now in decline, but its fame is not small.
"Hehe, boss, this is a coincidence. Now there are rumors in the industry that 'EA' is working on FIFA-ONLINE and is ready to launch it within the year. Therefore, 'Konami', which has been playing against 'EA' in the soccer game market, also wanted to launch a corresponding version of "Pro Evolution Soccer Online", so they took the initiative to find us, hoping to cooperate with our company to jointly develop "Pro Evolution Soccer Online" and operate "Pro Evolution Soccer Online" exclusively by our company. Wu Zhaopu explained.
Lin Feng was surprised, he didn't expect Japan to take the initiative to find his company. This is a very rare thing, and you must know that you have a bad impression in the minds of the Japanese, and they are standard "anti-Japanese" elements. I didn't expect the famous Japanese company "Konami" to find me. This really surprised Lin Feng a little.
"Hehe, boss, this shijie is a very realistic money society, and the rich one is the uncle. Now our company occupies 70% of the global online game market share, and Asia accounts for 90%, you say that the 'konami' company does not cooperate with us, who does it cooperate with. What's more, 'EA' has approached South Korea's 'neowiz-games' this time, targeting the global online soccer game market. In the current global online game boom, 'Konami' is naturally unwilling to give up such a large market and let 'EA' dominate the market. Wu Zhaopu explained with a smile.
Lin Feng thought about it, and it was indeed the case. The football game market cake is so big, and in the early stage, there are only two companies in the world whose football games have been recognized by players, one is "EA", and the other is "KONAMI", and now "EA" is ready to enter the online football game market, "KONAMI" will naturally not let go, but Japanese game companies are far inferior to their ability in the home console game market. When it comes to the development and operation of online games, looking at the world, who else is the "second shijie"!
"So, boss, I got the copyright to Contra. Originally, 'konami' refused to let go, but after I bought it at a high price of 1 million yuan, for the sake of cooperation between the two sides, 'konami' agreed. Wu Zhaopu Haha said with a smile.
When he first approached "Konami", Wu Zhaopu aimed at "Contra". Originally, Lin Feng proposed an activity of "nostalgic games", Wu Zhaopu has been searching for those games that have made countless players dream, and it just so happens that "konami" took the initiative to send it to the door, if Wu Zhaopu doesn't know that the goose has plucked its feathers, it would be too much to underestimate Wu Zhaopu's IQ.
As for the price of 1 million yuan, it is not low for today's "Contra". Although it used to bring hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to "Konami", it was the same as before. The past is gone, and people can't always live in the past!
"By the way, boss, I'll tell them about how to work with 'konami', and tell them to wait for you to come back and talk to you in person. Wu Zhaopu gave Lin Feng a wicked look. Originally, Wu Zhaopu could also preside over this negotiation by himself. However, judging from the history of the negotiation of the "second shijie" in the past, usually Lin Feng can reap some unexpected benefits, and he can get something from the negotiation opponent that may seem useless now, but will be very useful in the future.
And every time this kind of negotiation is presided over by Lin Feng himself, therefore, Wu Zhaopu specially left this negotiation with "konami" to Lin Feng. First, I hope that Lin Feng can take out more things from Little Japan; second, Lin Feng's own "second game" is about to launch a "dream" game console, and needs the support of the game company, to see if he can dig up "konami" this time, and third, the relationship between Lin Feng and Little Japan is not good, this time it is "konami" to take the initiative to ask for himself, this kind of good thing is not left to Lin Feng to leave to anyone.
"Hehe, Xiexie, Mr. Wu!" Lin Feng smiled and patted Wu Zhaopu on the shoulder. His own "Second Entertainment" is about to launch a handheld computer that has been in research and development for 2 years, and now it is up to various game companies to support it. Erisa Kazama contacted many Japanese game software companies, but most of them refused to develop games for the game consoles of the "second game" due to the relationship between Lin Feng and Japan, and only a few small game companies were willing to develop games for the "second game". But it's hard for a small game company to make a big hit.
And a game console, if it is not supported by good enough works, it will definitely not sell well. No matter how good the host is, if there is no hardware, it will be in vain. This time, "Konami" took the initiative to deliver it to the door, but it was a good opportunity.
"By the way, Mr. Wu, with the fame of "Contra", it is not a loss to spend 1 million to buy its copyright, but have you figured out how to use it to make money?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
Contra is a side-scrolling shooter that is not easy to adapt into an online game. And how to make back this million is a problem. After all, the company is not a charity hall, and if you spend money, you must always earn it back! Therefore, Lin Feng wanted to see if Wu Zhaopu had any suggestions.
Mended!
"Well, no. When I bought it, I just came for the fame of Contra. You know, "Contra" has a huge fame all over the world, and he has loyal fans all over the world in the United States, Europe, and Asia. So, I bought it. Wu Zhaopu replied very irresponsibly, "As for how to adapt it to make money, I think, the boss, you are an authority in this regard." Your adaptation of the game is very good. I think you're going to figure it out. ”
Lin Feng was speechless on the spot. Tell me, who is this, and it's not responsible for buying the game copyright back, so it's completely up to yourself. If you're really a Tinker Bell, you can come up with all kinds of ideas anytime, anywhere.
"Okay, I'll think about this first. Anyway, 1 million is not expensive, and it is worth it to be able to win the copyright of "Contra". Lin Feng thought about it for a while, his brain was a mess for the time being, and he couldn't think of any ideas, so he put them aside for the time being. Sometimes things are like this, and if you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it for a while, and after a while, maybe when another inspiration will burst out.
"By the way, how are the three browser games going?" Lin Feng asked with concern.
"Boss, don't worry, "Gundam" will be open beta in early July, "Three Kingdoms" will be open beta in late July, and "Star Change" will not be open beta until August. Wu Zhaopu replied.
Lin Feng nodded, and then came to the 99th floor of the company, his comfortable and luxurious office.
Standing at the window, looking at the endless flow of people at his feet, the white clouds floating in the sky in the distance, the whole person's mind was empty. This feeling of climbing high and looking into the distance is always so comfortable. So how should "Contra" be transformed?
Lin Feng pondered.
"Contra" is a side-scrolling shooter game, with a variety of weapons to choose from, but the game character itself does not have any upgrade possibilities, and there is no HP, which is a one-shot kill. Of course, some upgraded versions of "Contra" still have a lot of blood. But how can such a game be adapted into an online game?
The easiest way is to take advantage of the charm of "Contra" and adapt it into a shooting online game, which is the easiest. And it's not too troublesome to adapt, just add a little weapon type and increase the character upgrade mode.
But now that "Second Shijie" will have a first-person shooter of the year next year, "Shijie Wars", which has already cost more than $1.3 billion, and if another "Contra" is developed at this moment, I am afraid it may not be appropriate. After all, games of the same type are all rivals.
Since first-person shooters aren't good, what about third-person shooters?--That's a good idea, but third-person is not much different from first-person, and Shijie Wars also allows players to freely switch perspectives, so it can be said that if Contra is adapted into a third-person shooter online game, it will be no different from a first-person shooter online game.
Since shooting online games are not good, what about other types? Lin Feng thought of several types in a row, but none of them were suitable. Couldn't "Contra" be adapted into an online game?--Lin Feng frowned secretly.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lin Feng's mind.
