171 Interviews with foreign journalists
"Hello, Mr. Qin Han, I'm a reporter for GameSpot, George Smith. Can I interview you?" said a young man with curly chestnut hair.
"Sorry, I don't know English. Qin Han said in English.
"Uh...... Mr. Qin Han, are you kidding? I remember that the articles you published on the Internet were written in three languages: Chinese, Japanese, and English. If you don't want to be interviewed, just say so. ”
Qin Han smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You're right, I'm really joking. ”
Today I am happy to come to the award ceremony, Qin Han is in a good mood. And GameSpot is also one of the game media that has nothing to do with Zoe Quinn and has not been affected much by previous incidents.
And, because other gaming outlets, especially IGN, have been discredited and their websites continue to be hacked, gamespot has seen a three-tenths increase in website traffic in recent times, which can be described as the biggest winner.
"I'm available for interviews, but first, let me get something. Qin Han said to the fat man Tanaka who was waiting behind him, "Tanaka, bring my black-rimmed glasses and high-waisted trouser belt." ”
"What's that, President?"
"Don't even know the strongest treasure for Western journalists?" Qin Han looked incredulous. Of course, he didn't expect these people to understand his own stalks, but he just had a bad taste and wanted to remember another world in his memory.
"President, I really don't know. Could it be that these two treasures come from which Immortal Spirit?"
"Well, this Heroic Spirit...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. If I talk too much, I'm afraid of losing my life. Qin Han waved his hand and let his employees enter the award venue first, and he stayed alone for an interview.
George, who was listening in confusion, wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out a voice recorder: "Mr. Qin Han, can you start the interview now?" Don't worry, I will never delete what you said without authorization and change the original meaning. ”
He leaned over to Qin Han again and whispered, "I also hate those extreme feminists. Because of their opposition, "Dead or Alive - Beach Volleyball" could not be released in North America!"
I can't imagine that you are a European and American ghost animal and a cute dolphin!
Qin Han glanced at George meaningfully and said, "Hmm." Ask questions. ”
George asked, "Mr. Qin Han, the recent conflict between you and the ultra-feminist ended with Zoe Quinn deleting her social network account and quitting the gaming world. You live in a very different East Asian cultural circle than I do, and do you have any thoughts on the feminist movement that is becoming more and more influential in Europe and the United States?"
"I support women in their fight for legal rights, and I believe that women are no worse than men. As I said before, all human beings should be equal, regardless of gender, age, or race. But there is a problem with the current feminist movement, that is, there is a tendency to become more and more irrational. So, some people with bad motives — yes, I'm talking about Zoe Quinn — will use the guise of women's rights to benefit themselves. ”
"Okay, thank you for your comment. So Mr. Qin Han, some people think that although Zoe Quinn is not a real feminist, the problem of female discrimination in the game industry that she mentioned still exists. What do you think of this statement?"
Qin Han shrugged: "I think some extreme feminists are too sensitive. When they see a little boy on the street, they think it's a ***** criminal, and when they see a skyscraper, they say it's a male fertility cult. These people are so engrossed in the world they have built themselves that their perceptions are skewed. ”
"Now, it's a highly developed commodity society. As a game developer, it's natural to consider the audience when making a product like a game. In the past, most gamers were male, so game manufacturers will also take more care of the tastes of male gamers. But now, with the increase in female players, there are also many games with female gamers as the audience. At the end of the day, it's not a matter of sexism, it's just a matter of audience segmentation. Men look at bikini babies, women look at handsome guys with eight-pack abs. Men use feiji cups, women use ziei sticks, and everyone takes what they need. It's as simple as that. ”
"Uh...... Very unique statement. ”
"Alright, that's all I want to say, have a nice day. Qin Han waved at Reporter George and walked into the venue.
Qin Han did not know that in the future, his remarks about the feiji cup and ziei stick would be regarded as a guiding ideology by the majority of gamers as a weapon against extreme feminists.
When I entered the award venue, there was still about half an hour before the award ceremony began.
Among the industry insiders who attended the ceremony, Qin Han discovered Xiaoshan Xinyi.
Since they were acquaintances and had a cooperative relationship, he was ready to go and say hello.
"Little mountain mulberry. ”
"Teacher Qin Han, you seem to be in a good mood. ”
"Of course, after all, the annoying things are solved, just like the rain has cleared the sky. ”
"Haha, then I wish you a prize today. ”
While the two were chatting, Norio Idei also appeared at the venue and sat next to Nobuyoshi Koyama.
He nodded at Qin Han and said with a somewhat stiff smile: "Qin Hansang, congratulations on being nominated for two awards at the Media Art Festival of the Department of Cultural Affairs. As a partner of Terracotta Warriors Entertainment, we at Sony also hope that you can win the grand prize. ”
"Thank you for Idei-san's fancie. Qin Han said with a smile.
He knew that the Sony director seemed to dislike him a little, but so what? For the sake of money, he had to choose to cooperate with him, and he had to put on a smiling face.
I like this kind of look where you can't get used to me but you can't help it.
After chatting with the two Sony cadres for a while, Qin Han got up and returned to his seat. On the way, he passed by a man. The other party glanced at Qin Han, his face twitched a few times, he didn't say anything, turned his head and left.
This man is the president of Chigusa Co., Ltd., Toshio Otsuka.
Because he was involved in the scandal of Zoe Quinn, he and Chigusa Co., Ltd. are not very famous now. This time, I participated in the award ceremony of the Digital Entertainment Division of the Media Arts Festival, and there was basically no hope of winning the award.
After appearing at the venue, as soon as there were eyes around him, Toshio Otsuka felt that they were laughing at him. He wanted to leave, but for the sake of the company's future, he could only endure it.
He followed the path when Qin Han left, came to the seat of Sony Interactive Entertainment, and found Norio Idei.
"Hello Idei-san. Toshio Otsuka tried to squeeze out the most sincere smile.
Now Chigusa Co., Ltd. is in business difficulties, and the bank refuses to let him postpone the repayment of the loan, and the only hope is Sony's support funds.
