Chapter 30 "Buy One Get One Free"
In the end, Shinji Mikami nodded with difficulty! This water flows to a low place, people go to a high place, Fang Mingyuan's condition is that Mikami Shinji has been in cap for fifteen or six years, and it is impossible to have treatment, it can be said that Mikami Shinji is now trying to save face, and he wants to have a lizi, if he still refuses, then he is really a little ignorant!
Seeing Shinji Mikami nodding, Fang Mingyuan was naturally overjoyed, being able to pull the "father of biochemistry" Shinji Mikami under his command, coupled with his understanding of "Resident Evil" in his previous life, as well as the promotion of "Resident Evil" in the past two years, the big sale of "Resident Evil" is simply a sure thing!
As for the poor cap, how to get rid of the existential crisis in the future is not something that Fang Mingyuan needs to consider. Fang Mingyuan knows very well in his heart that CAP still occupies an important place in the Japanese game industry, but in fact, CAP's operation has fallen into a predicament.
In July of this year, the head office building, known as the Cap Building, was finally completed, but instead of cheering, the entire CAP office was rumored that the president, the family was planning to sell the Cap Building in order to repay a huge loan. Faced with the dismal situation of CAP, many employees chose to leave their jobs and moved to other companies. Since the founding of the company, Fujiwara Tokuro, who has presided over the development of a large number of masterpieces such as "Demon World Village" and "Wolf of the Battlefield", made Cap really feel the pain of internal and external Jiāo difficulties.
And not only these, in the next year or so, that is in the era of replacing the old and new consoles, CAP will encounter unprecedented heavy blows in the European and American markets, millions of SFC and MD cassette games are backlogged and unsalable, and the company is in a precarious situation! In order to avoid greater losses, CAP decided to completely destroy these unsalable products. The Wall Street Journal and other newspapers in the United States have published photos and related reports of CAP crushing game cassettes worth tens of millions of dollars with a giant roller, and the company's stock price has also plummeted.
The reason why CAP was able to be reborn from the ashes, withstand the pressure, and re-emerge as a major influential company in the Japanese game industry is due to the "Resident Evil" developed by Shinji Mikami. It was this work that no one cared about before, the first release was only 100,000 units, and the company did not have much expectations, with its excellent quality, there was a very rare hot sale period of more than a year in the history of Japanese games, and finally sold more than one million units, and the unexpectedly huge profit made CAP reverse the unfavorable situation at that time. Next is "Resident Evil 2", which is also led by Shinji Mikami, which has achieved a good result of 2 million units sold in Japan and nearly 5 million units worldwide, making CAP a step further.
And now, Shinji Mikami was abducted by himself in advance, and the copyright of "Resident Evil" has also changed owners, whether CAP can regain the glory of his previous life again, that is a mí.
It's a pity that I can't remember the full name of the producer of "Ghost Warrior", it seems to be called Rice Boat or something, otherwise, the future producer of "Ghost Warrior" will be poached together, and the management of CAP will probably hate himself to the bone if he has a long eye!
"Senior, may I ask ......" Shinji Mikami said again.
"Mikami-kun, if there's anything you want to ask, just say it." Fang Mingyuan could see that Shinji Mikami seemed to have something to say.
Shinji Mikami hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "Senior, can I bring a few more friends out of the cap?" They are also talented people, and they all have their own unique views on game production, but because of their youth, they didn't stand out in the cap, but I believe that they will definitely be able to become the backbone of the company in the future! Since he agreed to Fang Mingyuan's invitation, of course Shinji Mikami had to think carefully about his future.
Although he has Fang Mingyuan's support and is directly responsible to Fang Mingyuan, whether he can continue like this in the future depends on his own achievements. Fang Mingyuan was certainly able to support him, but it was impossible for Fang Mingyuan to pay attention to him all the time and clear all the obstacles for him. There is a saying in Huaxia, a fence with three piles, a hero with three gangs, without real people of his own, even with the support of Fang Mingyuan, in the new company, it is difficult for him to really control those new subordinates for a while.
Therefore, in order to develop more haode, it is the king to take a few of your acquaintances from CAP and go to the new company together. Anyway, now the CAP is in trouble, and whether it is Fang Mingyuan's company or the project "Resident Evil", the future is bright, Mikami Shinji believes that as long as Fang Mingyuan nods, he should be able to pull out a group of his own descendants from the CAP.
For his request, of course Fang Mingyuan raised his hands to welcome these talents, these talents in the cap, he was just able to remember so many names with the golden finger of his previous life, and most of them were producers, like programmers, artists, screenwriters, and other specific staff leaders, because they were not famous, he naturally had no way to know. After all, he didn't do this in the first place. Shinji Mikami is willing to pull out some more people, in his eyes, of course, there will be no cowardice in it, such a beautiful thing, weishenme wants to refuse?
Fang Mingyuan agreed, and promised that after these people came to the new company, all the treatment would only be better than CAP.
Of course, Fang Mingyuan wouldn't know that among these people that Shinji Mikami was going to bring, there was another "great god" of CAP in the future, although he only officially joined a year later.
Keiji Inaufune, the game producer who has already begun to shine in the CAP "Mega Man" series of games, is likely to be not very clear to many gamers in China, but when it comes to his later works "Ghost Warrior" and "Zombie Siege", I am afraid that people will look at him differently.
Originally created for the PS console, "Onimusha", due to the long development cycle, Sony has launched a new console PS2, and Keiji Inifune, who was in charge of developing this game at the time, withstood the huge pressure from the company and resolutely switched "Onimumu" to the PS2 console. As a result, "Onimutsu", which was endorsed by Takeshi Kaneshiro, a popular idol in Japan at the time, became the first platinum sales software on the PS2 platform, saving Sony from the crisis. Since then, CAP has spared no effort in the development of the "Onimusha" series, and Keiji Inaufune has also become a man of the year in CAP, and Keiji Inaufune's return to CAP is also extremely impressive, and the "Onimusha" series has an astonishing sales of 8 million sets worldwide, becoming one of the most important brands in CAP!
After that, the Xbox 360 platform "Zombie Siege" established Keiji Inifera's status as the main leader of the next-generation CAP platform.
But what happened in the future, Fang Mingyuan didn't know, in fact, if it weren't for "Ghost Warrior", he wouldn't have noticed Keiji Inafune at all.
Shinji Mikami has a good relationship with Keiji Inafune, a senior who entered the CAP three years earlier than him, and he also knows that Keiji Inafune, who has always disliked fried cold rice, wants to develop one or two original innovations in addition to developing "Mega Man". However, CAP's current financial difficulties have made the company hesitant to develop new works. And it can only be said that Keiji Inuifune, who is temporarily in the head corner, naturally does not have the influence to convince the society, so he can only continue to develop the "Mega Man" series with grievances.
The arrival of Shinji Mikami surprised Keiji Inafune, because Shinji Mikami rarely seemed so solemn.
After some pleasantries, Shinji Mikami explained his intentions.
Inaufune Keiji was also taken aback after hearing this, Fang Mingyuan sent someone to recruit Mikami Shinji before, he had heard Mikami Shinji say it before, and the two of them had a special discussion about it at that time, Mikami Shinji had always refused before, and it was also a little "credit" to him Inafune Keiji. But he didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan would personally go to Osaka, Japan for Shinji Mikami, and offer such superior conditions - as long as he went over, he would be responsible for the development of the project "Resident Evil", and he was in charge alone, with abundant funds and no one to hinder him. And it is conceivable that as long as "Resident Evil" does well in the future, then Shinji Mikami's status in the company will not be low, and he will be the head of the development department!
Although CAP is a veteran game production company, in terms of qualifications, Fang Mingyuan's company is not comparable, but in terms of achievements and vitality, the two are almost the same. And judging from the current situation, CAP is mired in a financial quagmire, and for a while there is no light in sight. The other party is like the rising sun, and everything is bright in the future. Shinji Mikami would have such a choice, and that was to be expected.
"Developing Resident Evil, isn't that exactly what you like?" Keiji Inaufune said with a smile, "Everyone has been looking forward to it for several years, and he finally decided to develop it." It is prepared for the Saturn console of Sega Co., Ltd., and to reach millions of sales, the expectation of this one is not low! ”
"Senpai, do you think I might be able to live up to his expectations?" Shinji Mikami was a little apprehensive, at that time in front of Fang Mingyuan, he was hot-headed, feeling that this was Fang Mingyuan's trust in his ability, and he responded in one bite, but now that he thinks about it, he is inevitably a little uneasy in his heart. Millions of sales, in the history of Japanese games, the works that can achieve this achievement are the trump card works of each company. As a rookie, can you make such remarkable achievements?
Keiji Inaufune looked at him for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't know where his confidence comes from, Mikami-kun, you are a talented person, I admit it, but your time in this business is too short. But that one, hehe, will definitely not be the hot-headed choice of you, there must be his own reason! I believe that if someone like him can say such a thing, then you should have faith in yourself! ”
