What does it really mean for a businessman to have the largest fan base in the world?

For days, Jobs pondered this question.

When did Apple have such a cult and large number of fans? This is probably the next stage of Jobs' topic.

Selling records is not the goal, it is Caesar's goal to become the industry standard in CD format.

In the next year, Caesar will launch FFF-branded PCs with CD-ROM drives and Palybox2 game consoles.

In addition, we are currently negotiating a cooperation project with Bose on home CD players, as well as home audio and CD players.

These series of actions basically established Caesar's hegemony in the future multimedia field.

Kaiser, who put his heart down for a while, turned around and focused on the tour of the band's debut album, because he didn't have any movie plans this year, and the games that should be released were all released, and even some series of works were all released in 8-bit versions.

At present, the Asian Development Department, led by Shigeru Miyamoto and Hideo Kojima, is working on the 32-bit game for which they are responsible, and it will be released on Playbox 2 during Christmas 1990.

It can be said that the members of FFF's Asian Development Department have been working hard for a long time, and they are ready to make a splash when the second generation console is released.

Because Caesar promised them in a meeting that whoever sells more than two million copies of his game will have his own studio.

The studio has an independent office, an independent budget, and a completely free and undisturbed creative space.

No one cares if they are financially independent or not, and the most enjoyable thing about working under Caesar is that they are not bad for money. As long as you have a budget report and a specific place to spend the money, Caesar's money will be paid in batches according to the progress of the project, and it will definitely not be a penny.

An independent office is simply too sour, and it is much easier to manage it by hiding in a small building than in a large office.

In fact, Caesar deliberately arranged for several of their studios to be in the same large office, except for the sound department and the art design department, which each have a dedicated studio. The rest of the people were huddled together and messed around.

Now that the reward of a single office alone has made a group of designers and programmers start a team, this result makes Judy? Foster was impressed by Caesar's scheming.

The new Tampa Bay headquarters was designed with the office space of an indie game studio in mind and has been empty ever since, just for this time the reward system came in the form of prizes.

That's right, Caesar's goal is to set up at least 20 indie game studios, so that super-talented indie game makers like Hideo Kojima, Chen Xinghan, and Marcus can let their imaginations run wild.

Some people may think that Hideo Kojima shouldn't be considered an indie game maker, but he really isn't. But his style has always been.

"Metal Gear Solid Series" seems to have been taking the popular business route, but in fact, the game is full of strong and indissolvable Kojima personal style, and it is this unique personal style that makes players enjoy "Metal Gear Solid Series" tirelessly.

If you want to say that pure large-scale triple-A commercial games, "Assassin's Creed", "New Year's Call", "Far Cry", "Borderlands", "Battlefield", "Halo", "Uncharted" and so on, these are authentic.

Caesar needs these commercial masterpieces to seize the market, stabilize its hegemony, and make money by the way.

But he needed more impressive and even thought-provoking games like The Last of Us, The Journey, Silent Hill, Fallout, and Outlander Requiem to expand his die-hard fan base.

Personalized indie games or quasi-indie games are indispensable to commercial triple-A masterpieces, and this is the path that a healthy large game company should take.

Just like the big Hollywood studios, there are always small companies like "touchstones" that specialize in producing and distributing small-budget films or independent films.

"The countdown to the release of FFF Entertainment's next-generation console, Playbox-2, has begun. There are xxx days left until the release. ”

Before all the channels and all the shows on FOX TV, after an ad was designed. The six-second countdown before the show, the countdown is full of this sentence, and a new Playbox-2 logo based on Playbox-1.

Otherwise, invisible pretending is the most deadly.

This six-second, completely silent countdown has gamers all over North America getting their blood pumping.

The long-awaited new console is about to go on sale. In Caesar's words, it was a shocking, leapfrogging evolution, an evolution from a bow and arrow to a standard musket, a revolution from a horse-drawn carriage to a steam engine.

Caesar is not exaggerating at all, why did the PS1 in his previous life shock players. Because it was a real innovation in the evolution from a 2D mosaic paper man to a 3D three-dimensional man.

Since then, the so-called next-generation graphical evolution of PS2, XBOX-360, PS3, XBOXONE, and PS4 has only made more polygons on the basis of 3D graphics, and the characters and environments look more realistic and delicate, and the essential changes have not been reflected at all.

Caesar estimates that the next evolution will have to wait until the cost of VR (virtual reality) technology is greatly reduced and becomes widespread.

But when you think about it, it's a bit unaccustomed to wearing a VR headset and playing games out of thin air with a controller, especially when others look like a fool.

Of course, at that time, it is really the spring of horror games and gentleman's games (in the blush) that has come completely.

This time, the promotion of Playbox-2 can be described as low-key luxury, and only a person like Caesar, who has his own TV station, can do such a frustrating thing, playing a six-second commercial for a year before all the channels and all the shows on a big TV station like Fox......

Of course, this is also a helpless move when the Internet is not popular.

In the past few years, Caesar has been on TV shows for big things, and sometimes he comes out to speak or clarify during the live broadcast of the game. Or being interviewed, in short, what is Caesar constantly showing his face on TV for?

To use an online game term, it's to brush up on prestige.

This kind of prestige is definitely not the kind of empty prestige that makes daily newspaper headlines or the top of the Forbes list, this kind of prestige is meaningless, and as long as it is silent for more than three months in a row, these so-called prestige will no longer exist.

Real prestige comes from interaction, and the biggest feature of Caesar's TV is interaction. He'll answer some questions from the fans live, or answer some questions or make some jokes based on some of the hot spots voted by the gamers.

This kind of interaction makes fans feel valued and cordial, which is called "down-to-earth" in a Chinese saying.

Whether it is an official or a celebrity, the prestige gained by being down-to-earth is prestige, and the headlines are just false fame.

In the absence of various online social platforms, Caesar's frequent interaction with fans on TV seems to others to be a bit of a show-off, vanity, and even neurotic.

Unfortunately, Caesar doesn't care what others think of him. When he gets to this position, he doesn't need to take care of the opinions of "those people", he only cares about what his family and fans think of him.

After the guò ad mobilized the fans' affection, Caesar and the band performed their first concert in Los Angeles in anticipation of the launch of "The Silence of the Lambs" in April.

No way, Los Angeles is the birthplace of Caesar's life, belonging to the "hometown", and the Los Angeles Times has always called him "the son of Los Angeles", and he did the same. Good deeds, performances, events, and deals have always been the first stop in Los Angeles, and they are a reward for the unwavering support of Angelenos over the years.

Then Caesar took the band on a tour of North America in the order of Houston, Seattle, New York, Toronto, and Miami.

Play while performing. It took less than a month, then a trip to London and finally Australia.

As for the European continent, Caesar simply did not go, except for the future Chinese market, his enthusiasm for non-English regions was not high.

Of course. Unlike Europeans, who are repulsive to non-European cultures, Caesar is mainly reluctant to put a hot face on a cold fart.

The French, in particular, are simply narcissistic about their own language, haven't you seen that Caesar has not been anywhere in Canada except Toronto?

More than half of the people in Canada are accustomed to using French, so Caesar dares to find confidence in Canada in areas with a high rate of English use.

As a matter of fact. In the era when there was no Internet, Hollywood, the NBA, and even MJ were far less influential in the world than Caesar imagined.

Even Coca-Cola as an American cultural symbol is much more powerful than movies and music.

The language barrier cannot be removed in three or two clicks.

In Europe in this era, many people don't learn English at all, and when you ask, they still have a heartbeat, "I don't do foreign trade, I don't usually need it at all, why should I learn English?" At that time, I prefer to learn painting, sculpture, music, or even football or chess. ”

Even Hollywood movies require dubbing in the local language when they are released in Europe. Language is the biggest carrier of culture. Not to mention the difference between the dubbed movie and the original version is 108,000 miles, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

Just as the original version of "Pulp Fiction" in Caesar's previous life fell off the altar after entering the fan group in the East, the difference in language environment caused some essential and irreversible changes in cultural products.

The Internet era is different, Hollywood with American culture began to impact the world, advertisements are overwhelming, you don't go to the cinema, and the Internet is full of news of Hollywood movies.

Looking at those cool movie trailers, are you excited? The movie theater is too lazy to go, how convenient it is to pay to watch a movie at home, even if the dubbing director zhì The viewing effect is not too good, and it can't stand it cheap, right?

After touring around the English-speaking area, Caesar himself didn't do much, and the other three members of the band could be described as hugely rewarding.

Emily's performance in Pulp Fiction basically completes the positioning of a first-class "goddess", giving her fanbase a large overlap with that of Caesar.

Now, as one of the two female voices of the Caesar band, Emily's one-handed rhythm guitar is explained neatly and neatly, and it is hard to believe that this is a goddess-level musician playing it.

It's not about discriminating against women, it's about the entire music industry, from classics to underground rock. From pop songs to mountain tunes, there are very few female musicians in the realm of masters, and even more so in the realm of grandmasters.

Some feminists may raise the bar and say something unheard......

In fact, let him arrange the names of famous musicians by himself, and see for himself how big the difference is in numbers.

Talent is often really related to gender, and the profession of nurse is naturally sexist. The eighty-year-old man was lying on the hospital bed, and when he saw the male nurse, he was sick, and when he saw the female nurse, he was happy...... You say the old man is? It's the same with an eighty-year-old lady, do you think she's willing to let a male nurse or a female nurse change her dressing?

This kind of thing doesn't make sense at all, so the Creator has never said absolute justice to mankind.

Therefore, Emily's guitar skills made her hard power finally recognized by fans.

In this world, most bands can show off their rhythm guitarists who can surpass Emily's skills by half the skill, not to mention that she still plays and sings a lot of the time.

Her image quickly changed from a vase goddess who relied on Caesar to become the goddess of the music scene in the attention of thousands of music fans, of course, thanks to the huge score bonus of the image of guitar playing and singing.

In Caesar's past life. Whether it is a man or a woman, or whether it is a man or a woman, you must carry the guitar a few times to show your strength in the music world and promote your status in the music world.

There are even many celebrities who do not hesitate to use the "air guitar", which was originally used for spoofing, in order to make their image on stage look super handsome, 24k pure handsome.

As everyone knows, this kind of amateur image can only be seen handsome in the eyes of ignorant fans, and in the eyes of knowledgeable people. It's just a laughing and generous, and it's just a laughing stock.

It is worth noting. The "air guitar" mentioned here is a form of solo blind gesture played along with others, mainly used by fans to imitate and pay tribute to the guitarist in their hearts, rather than the real air guitar (a real instrument).

There is an essential difference between the two, the former performers basically can't play the guitar, or don't play well, and the latter has high technical requirements. is a real musical instrument.

Emily's guitar level can be said to have reached the level of Cheng dù that allows fans to pay tribute in the form of playing air guitars, and this kind of progress can be said to be something she could not have imagined before being transformed by Caesar.

As for Ross and Schmidt, although the two of them are mainly responsible for the rhythm part, although the level of the table Xiàn cannot be said to be in the Hall of Fame at the moment, it is appropriate to enter the Hall of Fame after retiring.

As long as the two of them keep improving. This is the promise that Caesar gave.

In fact, this kind of commitment is really not casually said, the future Grammys are almost booked by Caesar and MJ, as long as Caesar participates in the selection, the best band will be his, and the award for the best individual must be MJ, which doesn't need to be considered too much.

Of course, given the friendship between Caesar and Stephen Taylor, the year when the Aerosmith band should win the award, Caesar will not release an album. As for the other bands, I'm sorry, if nothing else, it's definitely the end of the sweep.

Caesar's debut album has been silent for more than two months, and they don't know what to say about it.

So just taking advantage of Caesar's tour outside, they secretly pondered and savored it.

Just wait for the moment when Caesar returns, and release his own commentator's article.

"First of all, I don't know, Caesar is a monopoly operation, and the Apple portable CD player is sold for 99 dollars?

Well, maybe the sound quality and the cool shell are worth the price (this is what my son said, not me), I can't believe that a guy who doesn't make money should be so judgmental about my consumption concept......

Let's go back to Caesar's album, the album name is decent, usually the debut album is used as a work to introduce himself, and it seems that Caesar does this according to the convention.

Then I saw three names on the album producer, three thunderous names. Caesar? Lee, Emily? Blom and Simon? Cowell.

That is, it is Caesar and his women who are the quality checkers for this album, as well as Simon with a knife mouth and a knife heart on the shows "Got Talent" and "The Voice"? Mr. Cowell.

If, say, Caesar? If Lee is a layman among the people, Emily and Simon should be absolute insiders.

Emily is a graduate of Berklee College majoring in music, and she couldn't be more professional.

Before Simon came to the United States, he was also the head of the record company in charge of producing the zuò album, although the results were not outstanding, but his professionalism was absolutely guaranteed.

With the help of two professionals so professional, Caesar managed to make such a chaotic album with no connection in style?

It's a distinctly experimental album, and a lot of the songs are in a style that I can't categorize, and there are some Queens or Yes shadows, and some of them have obvious punk skins like sex pistols.

In fact, I really want to say that it is the spiritual core of punk music, but I can't find it after searching for a long time. In particular, the non-vocal pure music called "Car" is even more abrupt outside the whole album.

I would like to warn again, or popularize the science of music albums.

It's not simply a collection of ten to twelve songs that you've written, and it's called an album, it's called a single compilation, not an album.

The album does not necessarily have to be unified in style, but there must be a connection or contrast between each song in spirit, the direction of the music, or the continuation of the relationship. Only by doing this can it be called a qualified album.

Caesar's band, the name is great, but the debut album turned out to be a hodgepodge of insincerity? Is this still shy to go out to a concert?

I would like to ask for an explanation for my $110! (To be continued......)

ps: Recently, the code word time is tight, and Kavin is strict zhòng, and he has to upload it without even having time to correct the typo. I hope you will support you at the same time! Thank!

Finally, the routine cheeky begging for votes~
