444 Little Overlord has endless fun

Before 2003, the Golden Globe Awards were held a little later than later than later generations. After Wang Zijun's Lunar New Year, the list of Golden Globe nominations for the United States has just been released.

"Star Wars", which set off a sci-fi climax last year, was finally nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Music. And Wang Zijun's "The Shawshank Redemption" also has a high demand, and won five nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Screenplay.

Spielberg's hastily released semi-finished sci-fi movie "Contact of the Third Kind" was nominated for 8 nominations including Best Picture, and Wang Zijun was blushing when he looked at it.

In addition, "Turning Point", which was released a little later than "Contact of the Third Kind", also received 6 Golden Globe nominations. This is a ballet film, and the box office is far less high than Wang Zijun's "The Shawshank Redemption", but after its release, it set off a ballet craze in the United States. Later, the number of people watching dance performances in the United States increased from 17 million to 30 million in a year, and the number of students enrolled in ballet schools increased by 300 percent.

"Star Wars", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Contact of the Third Kind" and "Turning Point", these four films have had a big impact last year, and they have been nominated, from the media to fans, all of them take it for granted.

To everyone's surprise, Warner Bros. produced "Goodbye Girl", a low-cost romantic comedy with a general box office, actually became the biggest dark horse of this year's Golden Globe Awards, and won 4 Golden Globe nominations in one fell swoop. I've heard that the reporters at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association love "Goodbye Girl" very much.

Only from the list of nominees, the competition for this year's Golden Globe Awards will be extremely fierce.

The media on the RTHK side rarely cared about Hollywood awards before, and basically only a few media mentioned them casually after the awards. But since Wang Zijun won the award in Hollywood three years ago, the entertainment media has become more concerned, and as soon as the nominations for this year's Golden Globe Awards came out, the Hong Kong and Taiwan media published them in newspapers and magazines the next day.

"Chinese Genius Director Hits the Golden Globe Awards Again"

"Wang Zijun is popular in Hollywood, and the Golden Globe Awards throw an olive branch again"

"The Shawshank Redemption is in the limelight and has been nominated for 5 Golden Globe Awards"

《……》

Newspapers and magazines once again stirred up Wang Zijun. Just like after Ang Lee won the Golden Globe Award, the media in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland fell into a frenzy, and some film industry insiders also came out to analyze how likely Wang Zijun was to win the award. Film critics once again came out to write a film review for "The Shawshank Redemption", saying that "The Shawshank Redemption" is a very great movie, enough to go down in the history of world cinema.

This sycophant is a bit disgusting, who told some film critics to take the money from Wang's company, anyway, this movie is good, they are dead and blown, it's not too much.

Originally, "The Shawshank Redemption" was about to be painted in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the box office has been poor, and as soon as this trend of public opinion came, the box office actually rose again. Many people went to the cinema to rewatch it after watching the movie reviews and reports, but most ordinary people still didn't have much interest in this movie.

A few days before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Wang Zijun set off for the United States, but Li Jinghao stayed behind and began to train the newly recruited apprentices physically.

Wang Zijun did not go directly to Hollywood, but to Silicon Valley.

Fragrant. Port and Taiwan. The arcade market in the bay has now been occupied by Wang Zijun's Nintendo Company, and Wang Zijun is surprised that this is actually a genuine and unique business. There is no second company that produces arcade machines in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and no one grabs such a hot business, which is really cool.

After the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, although Macau is small, the demand for arcade machines is not as fragrant. Port and Taiwan. b. Low. The demand for arcade machines in these three places made Wang Zijun's arcade factory unable to produce at all, and last year it expanded the scale of production again. …,

Mino's plan was to start expanding into Japan and Southeast Asia once the markets in these three places were fully consolidated.

Nintendo, the largest game console manufacturer in Asia, still sells cards in Japan. Wang Zijun has now registered the trademark "Nintendo" in Chinese, and I don't know what name it will translate into when Japan's Nintendo enters Hong Kong and Taiwan.

At first, the four people Wang Zijun brought back from the United States, except for Mino, all returned to Silicon Valley to do research and development. Mino is responsible for the production and sales of Asia, the previous down-and-out appearance is long gone, and now he is in and out of suits and leather shoes, and from time to time he soaks a Taiwanese sister Hong Kong sister, so that he is happy.

This time Wang Zijun went to Silicon Valley, and wanted him to go over to have a look, but Mino said that he was busy with work.

In fact, what is busy at work? This guy Mino has failed to invest in the United States several times, and he still owes a lot of debts outside, and he is afraid that the loan sharks will collect the debt.

Wang Zijun's game development studio in Silicon Valley has expanded to nine employees after three years of development.

One of the original Savin. Kaiderui, as well as Zhang Xianlong and Fu Chao, they are all alumni of anesthesia engineering. Of the new recruits, four are graduates of nearby Stanford University and two are graduates of California Polytechnic University.

Wang Zijun came to this small game development company, which surprised the newcomers, they didn't expect that their owner was actually an Asian, and it was Wang Zijun who had recently made a splash in Hollywood.

"God, Savin, you said that the boss is coming today, won't he be the king? No small number of words: "The only woman in the nine employees, Megan. Paris reacted the strongest, she is a fan of Wang Zijun.

Savin. Cadrey shrugged, "That's him, I said I was going to surprise you." ”

Savin is obviously a little better than he was three years ago. Wang Zijun gave him a hug and said, "Thank you, buddy." Won't you introduce me to it? ”。

"Of course," Savin. Cadrey began to introduce, "This is Megan, the lark of our company, and she sings very well. ”

"No, my singing voice is not as good as that of a king." Megan. Paris shook his head.

Wang Zijun stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Megan." ”

Megan. Paris happily shook hands with Wang Zijun and said, "Wang, can I have your signature?" ”。

"Absolutely." Wang Zijun said.

Savin continued: "This is Zhan, your Chinese compatriot. ”

"Zhan Yaoxing, Singaporean-Chinese." A young Asian with pimples on his face introduced himself.

Wang Zijun shook hands with him and said, "I had a concert in Singapore, and it was very beautiful. ”

"This is Mickey." Savin introduces the next one.

The man has a slender neck, a large head, and large pierced ears, and the deformed proportions are memorable at a glance.

Wang Zijun said, "Hello, Mickey. ”

"No, my name is Bob, Bob. Creel. The man said, glaring at Savin in displeasure.

"Oh, I beg your pardon, Bob." Wang Zijun looks at him, a live Mickey Mouse, no wonder he has the nickname "Mickey".

"This is Pyrd."

"This is Bing."

"This is Gal."

"It's ......"

Wang Zijun got to know them all, and Saven couldn't wait to say, "Wang, come and try our game console." ”

The reason why Wang Zijun came here was because he received news from Savin that they had developed a new generation of video game consoles.

Saven brought out something a bit like the learning machine of the later Xiaobawang and introduced: "Boss, the design of the shape is inspired by the learning machine you talked about last time, and it can also be promoted in the name of a computer learning machine when it is released." Once the TV is plugged in, you can insert a study card for simple typing and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Of course, the most important thing is to be able to play games. It's a clone of the Atari console from the beginning of last year, and the performance is similar, but there are some improvements, and all aspects are optimized, because we are using a new chip that was only released in the second half of last year. ”…,

Yes, Savin said a little bit, Wang Zijun understood it, this is a copycat game console that copied Atari. However, a huge adjustment has been made to the appearance and made it look like a keyboard.

"The latest type of chip? Will the price be high? Wang Zijun asked.

"I did the math, and $80 per console is the most reasonable price," Savin said. ”

Wang Zijun asked: "How much was Atari last year?" ”

Savin said: "$65. ”

"Isn't this going to sell?" Wang Zijun is a little skeptical about the market for this thing, even if the performance is better than others, but it is 15 US dollars more expensive, and Atari is a big company, how can it fight?

"It depends on the means of sales. We're not just a game machine, we're a learning machine. We also have keyboards, we can type, and theirs are slippery. At the very least, we're twice as big as them, and $15 more is nothing. Savin smirked.

Don't think that things like the Xiaobawang learning machine only have a market in China, and today's United States can also be marketed like this. Now that personal computers are gradually becoming popular, it is still possible to come up with a slogan for American parents to buy game consoles for their children to learn computers.

In fact, the ancestor of the Xiaobawang learning machine, the Atari 800, was sold in this way, and the sales reached 400,000 units. However, the Atari 800 will not be released until early next year, and Savin has made this keyboard-based learning machine out in advance.

Savin took out another game card and said, "Besides, we still have this!" ”

Saven plugged in the game card and quickly entered the game selection screen: "I have to say, boss, you are really a game planning genius. It's been two years of work and all four games have been your inspiration. ”

After Savin's explanation, Wang Zijun quickly understood the content of these games. Three of them are playthrough games, and one is called "Dinosaur New Age". The plot of the game is similar to that of the arcade version of Dinosaur Kombat, but the content and details have changed a lot. The second is called "Double Dragon", which has been implanted in arcades, but has not been seen in video game consoles. The third one is called "Interstellar War", which is changed from last year's movie "Star Wars", in fact, it is a spaceship like an airplane, destroying various obstacles and clearing the spaceship along the way. The last one is called "Legend of the Hungry Wolf", which is a game of beating, and this one is also available on Nintendo's arcades.

Savin proudly said: "Of these four game genres, Atari has followed suit and developed similar games, but none of them have been successful with us. As long as we get these games into video game consoles, we can definitely open up the market. What's more, we also have Super Mario, which is a game that is loved by men, women, and children, regardless of age. ”
