Chapter 59: Cameron also likes arcade machines?
Chapter 59 Cameron also likes arcade machines?
Nintendo's opposition is any change that anyone can think of that is beneficial to Sega Corporation, and they will not hesitate to oppose it!
Uda Zhong immediately understood Fang Mingyuan's intentions, for Sega Co., Ltd., it was Fang Mingyuan who injected capital and participated in the board of directors and entered the board of directors, but it was announced that it could be borrowed in the name of the Americans, and James Cameron was one of Fang Mingyuan's candidates. Uda Zhong weighed it repeatedly in his heart, if it is said that the Americans injected capital into the shares, although it will definitely cause some opposition in Japan, after all, although Sega Co., Ltd. has never had the upper hand in the home game console market, but it is a well-deserved king in the arcade market. But after all, the Americans are the boss of Shijie, they have bases and garrisons in Japan, and they enjoy privileges, and Sega Co., Ltd. was originally founded by the Americans, so even if some people are dissatisfied, they can't set off any big waves, which Uda Naka knows well.
And from a certain point of view, if James Cameron is going to take a stake in Sega Corporation, if the news gets out, it will not necessarily be a bad thing for Sega Corporation. James Cameron has a certain influence in the United States and Japan, and it is believed that with the start of filming of "Terminator 2" with a budget of more than 80 million US dollars, James Cameron will attract more attention around the world.
Sega Corporation has been collapsing the U.S. market since the cancer caused by rechargeable batteries, and although the U.S. market has not recovered to the level before the collapse after repeated efforts over the years, perhaps ...... Can you take this opportunity to regain the US market in one fell swoop?
Uda Zhong thought a lot at this moment......
The next day, Fang Mingyuan did not attend the negotiations between GameStation and Nintendo, but Aso Kazuki attended as his agent. In this negotiation, Aso Kazuki did not put forward any proposals about FC, and the entire negotiation revolved around the landing of "Zuma" and "Bubble Dragon" in FC. During the whole negotiation process, the atmosphere between the two sides was very different, except for some differences in some details, it can be said that basically the general terms of the agreement have been agreed.
It's just that this result is not satisfactory to Nintendo's top management. Aso Kazuki did not take the initiative to raise the issue of FC's production authorization, which shows that Fang Mingyuan is still hesitant about whether to choose Sega Co., Ltd. or Nintendo's camp, and it is a good thing to get the authorization of "Zuma" and "Bubble Dragon", but it is nothing compared to the gamestation company's choice of camp. What's more, in exchange for granting FC the right to produce in Huaxia in exchange for GameStation to stand in the Nintendo camp, this was originally proposed by Aso Kazuki, but now she has kept silent about it, which makes Nintendo's executives who want to include GameStation in their camp depressed.
"This shows that Sega Co., Ltd. is very likely to take out the MD!" Miyamoto Shigeru said with annoyance, and only MD in the hands of Sega Co., Ltd. can still make that Chinese kid tempted. If you had known that Sega Co., Ltd. would have been in the middle of it, it would have been better if Aso Kazuki had first proposed it and directly asked GameStation to join the Nintendo camp. This is an old saying that taking advantage of the advantage, and it really makes sense. I just wanted to take this opportunity to get the adaptation rights of "Resident Evil", but I gave Sega Co., Ltd. the opportunity to exploit the loophole.
Yokoi Junhei is also very helpless about this result, not to mention that SFC has not been officially listed yet, and even if it is listed, it is impossible to grant Fang Mingyuan the right to produce in Huaxia, which is absolutely undoubted. Nintendo's top management, unless it is a collective hydrocephalus, will award the latest home game console to Fang Mingyuan. But Sega Co., Ltd. is different from Nintendo, the MD has been on sale for more than half a year, even if Fang Mingyuan is granted the right to produce in Huaxia now, then it will take at least three months to half a year before the assembly plant in Huaxia can produce finished products, and as far as he knows, with the work efficiency of Huaxia Zhengchu, it is likely that it will not be officially produced for a year. With these times, for MD, almost all the domestic Sega hardcore buyers have already bought it, and the rest is their dividend, if it can open the Chinese market because of this, it is naturally better.
"Miyamoto-kun, it's up to people to do things, fate is up to them!As long as GameStation doesn't publicly announce that it will join the game production camp of Sega Co., Ltd., we still have a chance, right?" Gunhei Yokoi could only comfort him, "Instead of thinking about this, you should be ready to port Zuma and Bubble Bobble to GB and FC as soon as possible." Trust me, I'll do my best to keep fighting for the GameStation company. ”
"I'm finally done!" Fang Mingyuan moved his sore wrist and threw the pen in his hand aside. After nearly fourteen hours of revision, he had already planned the role of "VR Warrior", which was finally completed. In this book, he not only drew the images of the protagonists, but also set the identity background for each of them. And the boxing and stunts that each of them is good at are also clearly listed. In order to allow Yu Suzuki to better understand these settings, he even used the form of comics to show the classic fighting skills in his mind one by one.
I believe that with these detailed information settings, if Yu Suzuki can't make a satisfactory "VR Warrior", then Fang Mingyuan can only sigh like Yokoi Junhei that the plot is in the people, and the success is in the sky!
He glanced out the window at the sky-color-, the sky-color-dark, the sky was foggy, although it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, but the room had to turn on the lights. Fang Mingyuan gathered away the scattered papers on the table one by one, and only then did he feel that his stomach was a little growling.
In the suite outside, Lin Lian and Chen Zhong were watching TV, and when they saw Fang Mingyuan coming out, they hurriedly stood up. "Fang Shao, are you hungry? I'll ask the hotel restaurant to deliver food. ”
Fang Mingyuan waved his hand, he understood the food in the hotel restaurant, instead of eating in the hotel, it was better to find a restaurant outside to taste authentic Japanese food. "Is Director Cameron in the hotel?"
"He and Mitsuri Uda were in the café downstairs. Lin Lian quickly inquired about the news from Cameron's entourage.
"This half-breed girl!" Fang Mingyuan grinned. Why didn't he see it before this, Uda Mitsuri actually has such a strong ** for acting. Since she had the opportunity to be alone with Cameron, she proposed to play a role--sex in "Terminator 2", even if it was a bandit armor-like extra, and for this, she even proposed to donate $100,000 to the crew. Fang Mingyuan, who later learned all this, couldn't laugh or cry. Is there still a person who pays money to be an extra?
This kind of effortless thing, Cameron naturally will not refuse, anyway, an extra, he doesn't need to have too haode acting skills, and Uda Mitsuri's beautiful face and outstanding-figure can also add luster to the film. In order not to lose the $100,000, Cameron even considered whether to give her a line or two.
When Fang Mingyuan appeared in the café downstairs, Cameron saw him at a glance, and immediately greeted him warmly and said, "Fang, you're finally done! If you don't come down again, I'm going to go to the street with the beautiful Miss Guangli to find a restaurant to eat." ”
As a cosmopolitan city, you can enjoy all the cuisines of Japan and the representative dishes of Shijie countries. Therefore, whether you are an Oriental or a Westerner, you don't have to worry about not being able to find your favorite food when you come to Japan. Of course, for the Chinese people, this is even more so, and the influence of Chinese cuisine in Japan is still great. In the past few days, Cameron has eaten a lot of exotic food in Tokyo, which makes him a little happy.
"Come on, you can find that land!James, when you go to Huaxia in the future, I will ask you to talk about authentic Sichuan cuisine!" Fang Mingyuan shook his head again and again. Yesterday, Cameron proposed that he wanted to have a Chinese meal, and Fang Mingyuan in Tokyo was also unfamiliar with the place, and Aso Kazuki was busy preparing for negotiations with Nintendo, so the task of finding the land naturally fell to Uda Mitsuri. As a result, Uda Guangli found a Sichuan restaurant, but Fang Mingyuan only tasted a few bites, then put down his chopsticks, and asked the owner of the shop, in the whole store, from the boss to the chef, there was no Shu people.
"That's looking for a Chinese restaurant, today we decided to eat sushi!" said Mitsuri Uda, unconvinced. Although she and Cameron had a very happy meal yesterday, it made Fang Mingyuan laugh a few words.
"Oh!" Since she is eating sushi, she is naturally the person who has the most right to speak.
Mitsuri Uda chose a sushi restaurant in Ginza that is only open at night, and it is said that it is the best and most expensive sushi restaurant in Tokyo that is open to the public. Fang Mingyuan heard Aso Xiangyue mention that when dining there, the general consumption level is more than 20,000 yen per capita, and if it is converted into RMB, it will cost more than several thousand yuan. It can be said that it is quite expensive. If you are not satisfied with this, then you can only enjoy it by finding such a wealthy Japanese family or those who have status and taking you to some specific places. Mitsuri Uda had such a channel, but Cameron liked to enjoy this kind of popular food, so he chose there.
Fang Mingyuan shrugged casually, he was generally not strict about what he ate.
The place where they lived was not too far from Ginza, so at Cameron's suggestion, the group decided to walk down the street, and also enjoy the streets of Tokyo along the way.
Gradually, the lights came on, and the streets were filled with more and more pedestrians, and it was time for office workers to get off work. But I have to admit that although the number of private cars in Tokyo, Japan far exceeds that of the capital two thousand years later, and its streets are not as horizontal and vertical and spacious as the capital, walking on the street did not make Fang Mingyuan feel like he was in a mess during his commuting to work in the capital in his previous life.
"Fang, is that a video game center?" Cameron pulled Fang Mingyuan and pointed to a shop across the street. Only then did Fang Mingyuan notice that it was obviously a Japanese arcade store, and it was brightly lit and crowded with young people.
"Well, in Japan, it's supposed to be an arcade shop. Fang Mingyuan looked at Cameron strangely, didn't he hear that this person also has an arcade hobby?
"There are a lot of arcade shops in Japan, and I've seen two along the way. However, in the United States, this kind of game machine is generally always placed in the mall, and everyone needs to run to play. Cameron seemed a little interested, "Can we go and see it?" I think we can find a suitable game for Little John by the way." "In the plot of "Terminator 2", there was a scene where John was playing arcade in the game center, and robots came to chase him. That is still the idea that Fang Mingyuan "proposed".
When setting the script, Fang Mingyuan and Cameron had a heated dispute about Little John's personality, according to Cameron's original plan, Little John should be a compassionate character who learns to be a top athlete in school. Fang Mingyuan really didn't know if he had changed his mind in his previous life because of Weishenme. But in the end, Fang Mingyuan persuaded him that Little John was still the "bad" child in the film in his previous life, and he learned a lot of things he shouldn't have understood.
Unlike in the United States, where you can only see them in shopping malls, arcade shops in Japan can be found all over the country, in larger neighborhoods, and even next door to coin-operated laundries and subway stations. Japanese students and office workers have developed the habit of going to the computer room before and after school and during breaks, and it was these people who kept Japanese arcades alive when home game consoles became popular.
It was naturally impossible for Fang Mingyuan to refuse his request. In fact, he also had the heart to see what is popular in Japanese arcade stores today. Arcade machines are still a new thing in China at this time, and they belong to things that are hated by parents and teachers, large-scale arcade halls have not been seen in Huaxia Fang Mingyuan, generally in remote alleys, in a small house of more than ten square meters, there are seven or eight arcade machines, there can be more than a dozen, that is very good. In his memory, the first time he saw an arcade hall with more than 30 arcade machines in the capital was in '92 to '93.
But like online games, computer games, and even mahjong, arcade machines also have tenacious vitality in China, and they have survived under the heavy condemnation of parents, teachers, and even society, and even the seizure from time to time. It's just with the popularity of home game consoles that arcade machines have gone into decline!
They pushed open the glass door, and a familiar voice came to them......
