333 Idol Games
Just as Qin Han and Sheng Tian Hou were talking, the music in the private room stopped.
The geisha's performance is over.
The place where they ate today was a high-end restaurant, and I don't know if I really like traditional culture, or just for B, Morita Hou also specially invited a geisha to perform.
These geisha dances are quite good, at least Qin Han, a layman, can appreciate them, but they paint all their faces with pink and white makeup, which is really a little unacceptable.
So Qin Han just watched the performance without a match, mainly chatting with Sheng Tianhou.
However, Kenji Kitagawa, who was eating with them, was also a young man, but he was very interested in the traditional culture of Geisha, and he kept watching it intently.
It wasn't until the end of the performance that he joined in the chat between Qin Han and Sheng Tianhou.
"Qin Sang, I heard you just now, Terracotta Warriors Entertainment is rich in manpower now, in that case, why don't you help me make a game." Kenji Kitagawa said.
Although Kenji Kitagawa is also a cadre of Sony, he belongs to Sony Music and basically has little to do with Sony Interactive Entertainment. Today, Qin Han and Sheng Tianhou had a meal, and he came to participate, I am afraid that he still trusted his father's blessing.
His father and Morita Hou are both directors of Sony, and it is estimated that the latter also saw this level of relationship before bringing Kitagawa Kenji with him.
Kitagawa Kenji came to participate in this dinner, of course, not for a good meal.
At this time, the operating producer of Nogizaka 46 finally said his purpose.
"Help you make a game?" Kenji-kun, do you want to develop a peripheral game for Nogizaka 46?" asked Morita Hou.
Morita Hou called Qin Han "Qin Sang", but called Kitagawa Kenji "Kenji Qian". One is to be a peer, and the other is to be regarded as a junior.
Although Kitagawa Kenji is older than Qin Han, his status in the eyes of Sheng Tian Hou is far inferior to that of Qin Han.
Of course, Kitagawa Kenji could read the differential treatment from this title, but he was not the slightest dissatisfied, but said respectfully: "Yes, Morita-san, I am planning to do so. ”
Since its establishment, Nogizaka 46 has been developing quite rapidly.
After all, now the entire entertainment industry has been brought up by AKB48 to create an idol craze, and in this environment, it is relatively easy for idol groups to succeed.
At the beginning of its establishment, Sony relied on its relationship with AKB's operation and AKS to find Nogizaka 46 the title of "AKB's official opponent", and successfully gained popularity.
Although it is also an idol girl group with a large number of people, Nogizaka 46 has its own positioning and style - and the girls are very good-looking.
Of course, the most important thing is that Sony is rich and able to do whatever it wants, investing large resources in Nogizaka 46.
So it is reasonable that this girl idol group can become popular.
Nogizaka 46's single sales continued to rise, and the number of people mobilized for handshake parties also increased, and later he became more and more famous by participating in the club anthropomorphic idol project of the Football Association.
However, although the situation is good now, Sony Music does not dare to relax. There is AKB in front of the giant, and there are also chasers from all walks of life, Kitagawa Kenji, the senior operator of Nogizaka 46, is racking his brains every day to think about how to go further.
In today's era of pan-entertainment, being an idol is definitely not enough to just sing and dance, even if you go to participate in movies and TV series, and then walk the T-shaped runway, it is not strange.
It is necessary to extend the tentacles of idol groups further in the entire entertainment industry chain.
Kenji Kitagawa hopes to be able to launch more merchandise for Nogizaka 46 to increase the popularity of this idol group. And as a Sony person, the game is naturally a good choice.
After Kenji Kitagawa said his thoughts, he took out a PSV handheld that he carried with him.
"Qin Sang, please take a look, this is the game "If You Are in Love with AKB1/48" released not long ago. Even in this era, game handhelds have long been weakened by the impact of smartphones. To date, the game has sold nearly half a million copies!"
Morita nodded and said, "I also noticed it when I read PSV's weekly software sales report a few days ago. I didn't expect such a game to sell 500,000 copies. The power of idols is really powerful......"
Qin Han took Kitagawa Kenji's PSV and tried to play "Words of Love with AKB1/48", and he knew why Morita Hou said this.
First of all, "If I'm in Love with AKB1/48" is a galgame.
However, in the game, it is not the 2D paper man girl who falls in love with the player, but the real idol.
In the game, whether it is the background or the character painting, it is all just a photo.
Even if it's a galgame with low technical content, when other companies make it, they have to carefully design the characters and ask the artist to draw them with a stroke. This game is good, the photographer presses the shutter and all is done.
With this kind of production, the cost of the game will certainly not be very high. However, these 3D paper man girls in the game are not delicate and moving.
As a fan of AKB, this game can provide an opportunity to fall in love with your idol, which is naturally a masterpiece. But for real players, this game is no different from the likes of 4399.
"AKB's fan economy, you Nogizaka can't learn it now. Qin Han shook his head with a smile and returned the PSV to Kitagawa Kenji, "You want Terracotta Entertainment to make such a game?"
"Of course not. Kitagawa Kenji hurriedly shook his head.
He knew that Qin Han was definitely unwilling to do this kind of game, which had no technical content and only had idol kitchens to buy.
Previously, Kitagawa Kenji had heard some conversations between Qin Han and Morita Hou, and knew that what he was worried about now was the lack of experience in 3D development of Terracotta Warriors Entertainment. So he said: "Qin Sang, I also know that the reason why "If I Love with AKB1/48" sells so well is because of the word AKB. Now we Nogizaka can't imitate. If a similar "If I Fall in Love with Nogizaka 1/46" is also launched, not only will it not sell much, but I am afraid that it will be scolded for cheating money. ”
Qin Han nodded.
If you don't have enough spending power, don't play any fan economy.
"Yesterday when I went to karaoke, I had an idea. Can we make a game where players take on the role of Nogizaka's agent, well, just like me? Then, players cultivate Nogizaka 46 step by step, and make this idol group more and more famous by releasing singles, holding concerts, participating in advertising shooting, etc., and eventually become the No. 1 idol group in Toei. ”
"Of course, the game must not use realistic photos as material, it must be fully 3D!" Finally, Kitagawa Kenji added.
