Chapter 197: Communication
Before Kitagawa Ryuichi arrived in China, he also received a message from a person, that is, Fujii Ichi, who had fought with Zheng Lu and them at the game festival. Fujii joined Nintendo as soon as he graduated, and he was able to mix well in it, and soon became a first-class planner.
At that time, Professor Uchida Shunhisa intended to let Zheng Lu and them enter Nintendo, but in the end they were refused. At that time, although Nintendo felt that it was a pity, they didn't do much to keep it, and in their opinion, there were so many good planners that they couldn't commit themselves to pulling people.
But then they were surprised, and when they returned to China, their skills improved by leaps and bounds again, and almost everyone had the ability to stand alone. This surprised the people of Nintendo, how exactly did Hantaku University cultivate these people? You must know that there are no super-notch planners at Hantaku University, so where did these people learn their experience?
Zheng Lu and the games they released, and the people of Nintendo have also played them, so it can be said that the strength is not inferior to that of any planner. The only thing lacking is production experience, and in a few years, these people will be the biggest rivals in Asia.
The people of Nintendo are not afraid of competition, but think that competition can make them more developed, which is a good thing. But if you don't deal with it properly, it's not good to be pressed down. So Nintendo decided to send some people to cooperate with Hantaku University to develop games, of course, this is nominally, but the actual task is to find out the secret of the rapid growth of these people, which is also good for its own development in the future.
And the team sent is led by Fujiichi, after all, Fujiichi was a classmate before, and with this layer of classmates, things are easier. It seems that he is afraid that the other party will refuse to cooperate, so Fujii entrusted Kitagawa Ryuichi to be a lobbyist first.
"Isn't it just exchange and learning, what's there to hide? You just tell Fujii that you can officially apply to Hantaku University, and you don't have to beat around the bush. ”
After listening to Kitagawa Ryuichi's words, Zheng Lu wanted to laugh a little. Nintendo's mind couldn't be more obvious, but it's a pity that Hanyaku University has already made its secret public. The learning materials in the half-house library are all clearly presented, but outsiders can't learn them.
In addition, the first and second level textbooks are available on the market, not to mention any secrets. This kind of exchange and cooperation is beneficial to both parties, so it is even more unlikely that Hanzhai University will refuse. Zheng Lu also admires Nintendo in his heart, and when he encounters someone stronger than himself, he humbly learns from it until he finally surpasses his opponent. The reason why Ben is strong is also because of this.
"Hehe, it's worthy of a half-house university, and it's open-minded. I've already told Fujii that there's no need for this at all. ”
Beichuan Ryuichi was also relieved, he was really afraid that this matter would cause Zheng Lu's disgust, so he would talk to Zheng Lu alone.
The next day, Hanyaku University received a request from Fujiichi. The specific requirement is to join the platform of Jade Pupil Jane, learn the use of Jade Pupil Jane development software at Hantaku University, and complete the development of related games at the same time. During this period, I hope to get some help from some teachers and students in the game development department of Hantaku University, because they are not yet fully familiar with the platform and need some familiar hands at the helm.
The people from the Administration Department agreed to the request and then forwarded it to the teachers' union, allowing them to choose their own people to participate in the exchange and cooperation group. Han Luoqi didn't dare to assert himself, so he announced the news throughout the school, hoping that those who join this cooperative group can apply by themselves, and then the cooperative group will choose it themselves.
"Hey, Zheng Lu, are you going to join this cooperation group?"
The story of the cooperation group has spread in the school, because the other party is Nintendo, and it has a lot of development experience, so it would be quite good to be able to go in and learn. So at the moment, a lot of students signed up, and even a few teachers were a little excited, wanting to see what the strength of this old game company was.
"I'm not going, the planning of the new game is almost written, and I don't have that time to spare."
Working with this team is a dead salary, although it is stable, it is not as good as developing a game by yourself to get a commission, plus Zheng Lu is now thinking about developing a game to enter the foreign market, so naturally he will not participate in any exchange groups.
After thinking about it, it seemed that he was also preparing to develop the second generation of community games, so he didn't need to join in the fun, so he dispelled the idea of learning. Besides, everyone has studied in this book before, although the actual work will be different, but it can still be imagined in general.
In the end, only some second-level students participated in this exchange group, and there were even some students who had just been promoted to second-level and were worried about not being able to find a development team, and Fujiichi's arrival just happened to divert these people.
Kitagawa stayed in Shanghai for a while, and then rushed to shoot. This movie is a hassle to shoot, it's been normal for a year and a half, and I don't know when I will go back to Shanghai next time. However, before leaving, Beichuan brought a group of movie stars to visit Hanzhai University, which caused quite a stir.
The DV taken by Kitagawa that day, after I went back, I gave these people a look, and everyone was attracted by the strange scenery of Hantaku University. So they asked Director Beichuan to make an introduction, and they came to a half-house university tour. Because they are all big names, the glasses girl agreed, and it is also a good international promotion for Hanzhai University.
These people took a lot of photos just by the city walls, and they seem to be very interested in this ancient architectural style. However, the main purpose of these people is to exotic plants, so they are specially allowed to enter the grain base and plantations.
These movie stars are also well-informed, but this strange plant is the first time I have seen it, so they are all amazed. They were even more surprised to see the foreign biologists working in it, because the university was so well-known that even these famous scientists could be attracted to it.
When these people finally left, the school gave each star a potted plant. Above it is a small ice and fire tree, surrounded by oxygen grass. The decoration of each tree is different, from a little girl swinging to a child playing with a dog.
Although this gift is not expensive, it is unique and you can't buy it for more money outside, so these stars are still very happy. In particular, the warmth of this ice and fire tree and the freshness of oxygen grass are really refreshing to smell after tiredness. When you go to bed at night, you put it next to it, and the next day the whole person is in good spirits.
Making movies is also hard work, and sometimes they can't sleep for a few hours a day, so this thing is the best gift for them. After sending these people away, Fujii and his party also arrived. Zheng Lu is an old classmate of Fujiichi, so the task of meeting them will naturally be handed over to these people.
"Fujii, long time no see!"
Although my impression of Fujii is only the confrontation at the game festival, polite words are inevitable. Fujii is now Nintendo's first-class planner, and he has produced more than one million copies of several games, which can be regarded as a hot planner.
"Zheng Lu, after a few years, your language is still so good."
Because Fujii and his men did not understand Chinese, Zheng Lu could only use the Yue language to talk to him, and he didn't have to be rusty for a long time. In the future, Zheng Lu and the others will take turns to train these people to familiarize them with the development software of the Jade Pupil Jian platform.
"By the way, Ling Zhijun and Ling Shouwei, there are two people here who have been thinking about it for a long time!"
Zheng Lu was about to take these people into Hantaku University, but Fujii Yichi beckoned two people to come over. Zheng Lu took a closer look, wasn't it Shoko Aida and Rina Asai. Good guy, eloped?
"They're positioning you in the cafeteria. Quick, they'll be glad to see you. ”
Zheng Lu is much more enthusiastic about these two than Fujiichi, after all, he has met with them more often than Fujiichi when he was in Yuben. Among them, Shoko Aida is still Zheng Lu's judo master, how can he not be enthusiastic? The group got on the school bus and moved quickly towards the restaurant, and then staged the plot of the love sister Qianli to meet her brother, which was too boring.
"Zheng Lu, your university's Jade Pupil Jane has kept us and Sony out of China."
During the banquet, Fujii couldn't help but sigh. Nintendo and Sony have long been interested in entering the Chinese market, but they have not been able to do so due to policy restrictions. Later, when it was finally released, an uninvited guest appeared in the sky.
In a short period of time, Yutong Jian swept the Chinese market and became the handheld with the highest installed capacity. It's not that the other two handhelds don't have any, but most of them are parallel imports, and most of them only play pirated games. After weighing, both major manufacturers reluctantly announced that they would not enter China in the short term.
The entry into China here refers to entering China through formal methods, and then releasing Chinese games, but being stirred up by Jade Pupil Jane can only be postponed. Jade Pupil Jian has a local advantage, and its own quality is even better, if you enter now, I am afraid that you will lose very badly. But they won't give up, China's player base is so huge, how can you do it without taking a bite.
"Hehe, not to mention the handheld! Wait, it won't be long before our console arrives! ”
The main machine work of Hantaku University has been under development, and recently there has finally been a breakthrough, and all technical difficulties have been overcome, including the production line for mass production. At this time, it is entering the final debugging, and it will not be long before this console will be available.
In addition, a number of parts factories have been built in the industrial zone, which are mainly used to produce parts for various main engines and handheld computers. These parts have a complex process, which is difficult to imitate from the outside world, which also ensures that the host cannot be imitated. Console names are now being recruited nationwide, and a special spot has been created on the half-taku website for players to choose the name of the new console, and the one with the most votes will be the name of the console.
This news has not been released yet, and the names will be solicited within Hantaku University first, and then everyone will vote. However, Hantaku University has successively released some news to the outside world, that is, the host of Hantaku University is being secretly developed and will be available in the near future.
When Fujii heard the news, he was also stunned for a moment. But looking at the posture of Hanzhai University, it is only a matter of time before the host is developed, so I don't care much about it. According to his opinion, this host can only run rampant in China, and the foreign market is already a top three, and outsiders cannot be allowed to intervene at all.
Zheng Lu also knows this, so he is now making every effort to prepare to use games to impact foreign markets, and after a little improvement, he will use advertising and other means to enter foreign markets. At that time, I am afraid that the funds will be scattered like flowing water, which is also a helpless thing, and the initial investment is inevitable. However, the first step of the half-house university host is to occupy the domestic market first, and if you lose even the home battle, let alone talk about it later.
"Then I'll wish Hanzhai University a victory!"
The two clinked glasses, and then went to talk and laugh with the others in different moods.
Fujiichi and the others came at a very unfortunate time, because the winter vacation was coming soon, and the teachers and students packed up and prepared to go home for the New Year. This is incomprehensible to Fujiichi, this half-house university is too loose, and there are still winter and summer vacations, isn't that a waste of time?
He said that his dedication was well-known, so even without the guidance of the teachers, they began to think about the development software of Jade Pupil Jane. Two of them knew Chinese, so they read the instructions and explained to everyone.
During the winter break, Hanzhai University announced a total of two things. One surprises the players, while the other surprises the nation.
What surprised players was naturally the official name of the console, and the various surnames of the console were also announced, which can definitely be regarded as a next-generation console. The previous ebox platform did not satisfy the majority of players, and if it wasn't supported by the game of Hanzhai University, I am afraid that it has begun to decline.
Although there is no official release information yet, a list of various games is already listed. These games are all sequels to the games that have sold more than one million units in Hanzhai University, including "Jianghu Heroes Dream 2", but the producer is no longer Zheng Lu.
In addition, the recently popular "Promotion Chart" has also been scheduled for a sequel, but the producer is not Zheng Lu, which makes players puzzled. What's going on with this Zheng Lu? Generally speaking, if a game made by a game producer has such achievements, he will basically concentrate on the development of a sequel, where is like Zheng Lu who just digs a pit and doesn't bury it.
For this reason, a magazine specially interviewed Zheng Lu, and Zheng Lu replied that he wanted to challenge himself and continue to innovate. And the sequel to a good game will not decline because the original creator is gone, but will continue to add new game elements because of the new producer, making the game more fun. Zheng Lu believes in the students of Hanzhai University, and they are fully capable of making the game better.
In addition, Zheng Lu also revealed that his next goal will be a sci-fi strategy game set in the background of the Galactic War. If the domestic performance is good, we will consider developing abroad.
The emergence of this console has made ebox's green motion company feel in crisis. They had long foreseen the emergence of the half-house university host, but they didn't expect it to be so soon. Although they are vigorously developing their own game teams and cooperating with foreign game companies, 80% of the best-selling games on ebox are from Hantaku University.
This is a very dangerous signal, but there is nothing that can be done about it. In addition, they already know that the games given to them by Hantaku University are all created by students, and then Hantaku Immortals create them for them, which is simply using ebox as a platform for training students.
But such games can still sell well, and it is irritating that the team that has been trained by the Green Action Company can only develop games that are not up to the limit. A bunch of guys with salaries, but they can't even compare to some students, and they are really blind to those salaries.
Are the students he trained at the half-house university all geniuses!?
Green Motion is also like other game companies, spending a lot of money in the hope of poaching one or two second-level students. But I didn't expect that these students were also dead-eyed, and they didn't care about how much money they had, so they had to stay at Banzhai University, so I haven't heard of any company poaching second-level students until now.
Later, Green Movement couldn't stand it anymore, so he studied the student management regulations of Banzhai University. It stipulates that second-level students can only stay in school for two years, after which they must graduate or become teachers and stay in school. In other words, it will take at least one year for students to graduate.
"If you continue to raise the price to poach people, you can't wait for a year, and there are so many game teams across the country, where can we get our turn to grab people?"
Zhang Zijie, the boss of the linkage, gave the latest order, but he was immediately frightened by the second news of Banzhai University.
"Semi-residential city investment, enrollment and various details?"
Zhang Zijie took a closer look, it was about the planning of the half-house city, and the various regulations were listed in great detail. This includes provisions such as free housing, eviction regulations, and a map of the extent of the half-housed city.
"So big!? It's a city! ”
After reading the introduction, Zhang Zijie was moved. Not to mention this advanced technology, even this housing is free, which can attract a large number of people. If we can build a branch office in it, we can also attract a large number of students from Hantaku University, because there are already many students who have indicated below that they will look for jobs in Hantaku University after graduation and will not go anywhere else.
"This half-house university is to concentrate all the animation and game talents in the country!"
Zhang Zijie was planning his own branch, and suddenly his heart moved, such a rule clearly wants to make Banzhai City an animation game city! Isn't it the priority of anime and game companies and anime and game-related stores to build a city with a strong anime and game atmosphere?
"Is this really possible?"
Zhang Zijie couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
