Chapter 60: Historical Deviations
Rush sound. Fang Mingwo had heard it many times in his previous life, although he said that as the Hou'er Ganjiao Hall became bigger and bigger, the price became more and more expensive, and he went less and less, but this kind of thing seemed to be remembered in his heart, even if it was a long time apart. Once you re-immerse yourself in it, you can still recall it clearly.
The scale of this arcade shop is quite large, there are more than 100 game machines of various types placed in it, Fang Mingyuan even saw a few mahjong machines, which were registered in the Huaxia Police Station in the previous life, but the registration is registered, and people with doors can open it, and there are dozens of mahjong machines as soon as they are opened. There are even big stores with slot machines. From a certain point of view, today's China. It can be said that the laws and regulations have been formulated quite completely. But there is a lack of liliang to carry it out completely.
"Clumsy" Cameron saw the car in the most prominent position in the store, it was his favorite game, and he even bought one to keep in his home.
"Fang, in fact, I think the arcade game is far better than the quality of Hepeng's game. Do you know this is weishenme?" Cameron put his arm around Fang Mingyuan's shoulders and laughed in a low voice. Fang Mingyuan had already talked to him about acting as an agent to take a stake in Sega Co., Ltd., this kind of trivial matter, as long as Sega Co., Ltd. did not object to it, Cameron naturally did not mind helping Fang Mingyuan. These two days. For the information of Sega Corporation, Kameti also has a lot of attention.
"Actually, the reason couldn't be simpler, arcade games are good because they have to be good. No matter how big the computer room is, the area is always limited, the shopkeeper makes money, and any game that cannot bring him profits will naturally not be put out, and the machines that do not make money will definitely be replaced. You see all the arcade machines are placed here, one next to the other, and you can try them by throwing a few coins. So everyone can understand it, they will judge the quality of the game, and players are not stupid, they will choose the most haode. This kind of problem is not difficult for Fang Mingyuan,
Games that are useless and haphazardly developed will be completely ignored here, except for a golden sign that can be advertised everywhere. Arcade players don't have to listen to the morally corrupt and incompetent media at all. In order to attract the attention of players, those manufacturers will engage in some false advertising for months or even years, and every stage of the propaganda is a false lie
Some elaborate ceremonies, some "leaked" rendered screenshots, some exaggerated new features. Post some short clips, and when Zuihou releases them, they are accompanied by some gunman commentary.
But all this for the arcade, all.... It's all. Every coin a player votes for the quality of the game. A game that is not fun can only deceive people once. Those "voters" are generally older and more experienced than those who play on consoles. This is the Weishenme arcade game on the coin eating list are all haode games, and there is very little garbage, but most of the home console game sales list around Shijie are games that sound good and are rare to play for a long time.
Cameron agreed, "Actually, we make movies and it is the same truth, and Seiko can do a good job." Hundreds of movies are released in the United States every year, but only a fraction of them are released in theaters every year.
If our films can't bring them enough profits, then it will be difficult to get their cooperation next time. So for me, being able to make a movie a year. That's a very fast speed. Fang Mingyuan nodded knowingly, this is indeed Cameron's style, after "Titanic". He was silent for several years before "Avatar" was born.
"Hehe, that's what I said, but if I have a good script, will you shoot it?" Fang Mingyuan said with a wink. James Cameron, this is a big cash cow that he couldn't think of anything in his previous life that could be related to it, how can he be worthy of his rebirth if he doesn't maximize his interests. Not to mention the "Horror Park" series, there are also "True Lies", "Forrest Gump", "Speed of Life and Death", "Spy of the Spy", a bunch of scripts, well, "Schindler's List" will not rob Spielberg, that sense of history is not something that Cameron can easily film.
"If there is a suitable one, then naturally it can't be let go!" Cameron said with a smile, this director Su is actually the same as an actor, sometimes the director picks the script. Sometimes it's the script that picks the director, and when Yujian has a good script, it's difficult for you not to let him direct. "Huh, what do you mean?"
Fang Mingyuan patted his arm. "James, trust me, you're going to be busy for the next few years." How many trophies you can take, I don't know. But I can guarantee that your purse will be bulging. ”
Naturally, Cameron would not have thought of it. In Fang Mingyuan's hands, there will be so many acclaimed and popular classic movie scripts. But he was still infected by Fang Mingyuan's confident words.
The trio strolled down the arcade. Every now and then, I stop in front of an arcade machine. Soon. Cameron turned his head strangely and asked, "Fang, Miss Uda, weishenme, I found that very few people here can renew coins? ”
"Mr. Cameron, Fang Jun, do you know what the core concept of arcade games is?" said Mitsuri Uda proudly.
"What is it?" Cameron said curiously.
"Here, Jishu is king! Only those who pass the customs with their own Jishu will be truly respected by everyone. Those who rely on the renewing pile to clear the customs will not be truly recognized by everyone. Uda Mitsuri held his head high and said, "This is the rule of one coin!"
Cameron nodded knowingly. "Is it like the western cowboys, only those who abide by the rules to win will be recognized by everyone, and those who take improper means to win, even if they win all battles, will not be recognized by everyone. ”
"Haha" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing. "What are you laughing at? Could it be that I said something wrong?" said Uda Mitsuri angrily. Although Fang Mingyuan didn't say anything, from the laughter, she clearly heard a bit of ridicule.
Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "Miss Uda, Jishu is the king, I agree with this." But the origin of the one-coin rule is not what you say. James. When you came into contact with the arcade machine, I don't think you were a poor boy, right?"
"Well, it was after the filming of Terminator that I started playing arcade games to relax and rest
Cameron chiseled in surprise, "Does it matter what the worm does?" ””
"Of course it matters, you're not a poor boy anymore, and Miss Uda, that's not to mention. You don't have to feel the mood of people who don't have a lot of money and like arcade games. Fang Mingyuan smiled and said The two of you can think about it, a person who only has ten coins in hand, he is looking for a game console. For example, one coin can be used for ten minutes. Then add the mouth and start the renew timer. What would he think about his choice? and keep playing, and then maybe he would die again in three or five minutes, because the game was bound to get harder and harder. If he starts from scratch, he can play for at least ten more minutes, right? That is, he loses some game time every time he refills a coin. But every time he starts from scratch, as he becomes more familiar with the game, he will play longer and longer for each coin. Maybe zuihou can play for 20 minutes with one coin! That's the beginning of the one-coin rule, one by one, people who like to play games squeeze a few dollars out of their pockets, so they hope to play for a longer time."
"Hmph!" Uda Mitsuri, who was sincerely interested in the explanation of the hot-blooded version and the leaky *point version, stomped his foot in annoyance. But he couldn't refute Fang Mingyuan's anything. At least from the perspective of logic, Fang Mingyuan's realistic version of the explanation is more in line with the woman's ear.
Cameron secretly gave Fang Mingyuan a thumbs up. Regarding the two interpretations of the bloody leakage version and the realistic version, he obviously agrees more with the realistic version, but because of his so-called Shinshi demeanor, he is embarrassed to deny her in front of a beautiful woman.
"Who are you?" Uda Guangli chose a machine, patted the console, and although he said about you in his mouth, his eyes looked at Fang Mingyuan, and said defiantly. Obviously, it was a battle of words, but Fang Mingyuan couldn't talk about it, and he planned to teach Fang Mingyuan to scrape Fang Mingyuan on the arcade.
Fang Mingyuan and Cameron came over to see that it was actually "Street Fighter"! "Street Fighter" is a classic game launched by the Japanese Dolby Company, which is translated as Kombat Whirlwind in Taiwan. It can be called the ancestor of fighting games. Fang Mingyuan is not most familiar with this, but its sequel "Street Fighter Robbery". At that time in China, the pomp and circumstance of Street Fighter Phenol in arcade halls was unmatched by any game. At that time, the large and small arcade halls were full of "Street Fighter Kids. And many of them are beta versions that can only be used by Hongshi people, and the official version of 8 people was very rare at the time. Even so, even outside the arcade halls are sometimes filled with people waiting in line.
"Shenglong Fist Wave Fist" whirlwind legs, as well as Chun-Li's hair and thighs, all left an extremely deep impression.
Fang Mingyuan smiled and pushed Cameron up, but he browsed around the store casually. Half a circle away, he suddenly stood still and looked around in amazement! Although there were many games in this store, there were no "The King of Fighters", no "Iron Fist", no "Samurai Shodown", no "Metal Slug", no "House of Death", no "Soul Ability"! "Death or Alive" was forgotten, that was too long ago.
After Fang Mingyuan was reborn, although he also thought about using the corner book of arcade games to make money, first, the game halls in Huaxia could be said to be quite rare before the nineties, and there were generally five or six more machine sheep, three or four games, which was considered good. Fang Mingyuan had even seen it. There are two "game halls" for helicopter air combat, and secondly, because he doesn't know the specific release time of the rest of the games except for "Ding Warrior". The reason why "Cannon Warrior" can be an exception is because he once had a friend who was an avid "Old Warrior" fanatic, and he was influenced by him countless times; It's also that the opportunities he has to choose from recently are a bit piled up, and the affairs are even more complicated, so he can't think of them at all.
Before coming to Japan, Fang Mingyuan didn't know what today's arcade games were, to be honest. And if it weren't for Sega Co., Ltd. suddenly jumping out, he wouldn't have remembered for a while that he still had the corner book of "Zhao Warrior" in his hand. And today's accidental entry into the game hall made him suddenly realize that Zimao is in the field of arcade games. He also has the resources that absolutely drive the producers of this shijie game crazy.
Although some of these games are produced by Sega Corporation, and some are not, Fang Mingyuan believes it. With Sega's game production capabilities, as long as there are perfect game playbooks and clear requirements, it is not difficult to make these things! And how will Sega Co., Ltd. face these games after mastering them? It can be said that this is on the balance of success that is already ten, and on its own side, it has added a heavy foundation code!
Fang Mingyuan fell into deep thought, and it wasn't until a Japanese teenager hurriedly walked past him and bumped into him that he woke up from his deep thought. That's when he noticed. I don't know when. There were already a lot of people gathered around the arcade where Mitsuri Uda and Cameron were, and some even pulled over their stools and stood on top of them, looking inside.
Fang Mingyuan noticed that Cameron had already stood in the crowd on the side, and among the Japanese, he was quite tall and tall.
"Is this a set?" Fang Mingyuan asked Lin Lian beside him strangely.
"It seems that someone is challenging Miss Uda Guangli, and Lin Lian is a little uncertain. Although she has been learning Japanese lately, it is clear that it will take some time for the results to be revealed.
"Wow!" there was a series of exclamations from the crowd, followed by Mitsuri Uda's triumphant voice from the crowd, "Who else is coming?" and then a Japanese teenager was squeezed out with a frustrated expression. Forty-one!
When a similar episode happened three or four times, no one stepped forward to challenge Mitsuri Uda, and this experience of being defeated by a girl in public was never a pleasant thing for a Japanese man, and he might even be unable to hold his head up in front of people for a long time because of this. So when a few players in this arcade who were good at Street Fighter were defeated, there was a cold scene in the arcade.
At this moment, the door of the arcade was suddenly pushed open, and several people walked in with what was apparently an arcade baseboard. The teenagers in the hall suddenly let out an earth-shattering cheer, and then the few losers immediately surrounded one of the young people, and after a while, the young man pushed away the crowd around him and walked straight in front of Uda Mitsuri.
