Chapter XXVII
There are a lot of people who make money with the trend of video games.
There is such a world, which is called the doujin world. In this circle, all people are engaged in the secondary creation of works of art that have already been listed.
However, in the United States, most film and television works are not allowed to be recreated. However, there is one category that allows, and that is Chiba Games' games.
They are not opposed, and there are even some who support the creation of secondary fanworks.
So,There is such a small group of people.,Make money with the same people.ใ
That's the case with Tom and Jerry, who don't really know how to create games. Even if it's a fangame, it's actually subject to the review of the Mario Club and the permission of the original copyright owner.
So, secondary fanworks are basically graphic novels, or even live-action small movies and so on.
Of course, in the nineties, photographic equipment was still relatively expensive, and the concept of digital storage was not just emerging, and most of the video tapes were used, so the cost was not low.
Therefore, the most mainstream are still manga and novels.
Tom and Jerry, one writes fanfiction and the other draws comics.
Don't look at the two little brothers, they are only sixteen years old, but they are already well-known figures in the American fandom.
It is said that every time a new work is launched, it will reach about 10,000 sales in a short period of time.
This sales volume is already very popular for many small companies. On two people, of course, it can be regarded as a huge amount of money.
The stuff they write is also very interesting, and it's basically some "dark history" about Chiba games.
For example, "Dark Mario" or something.
After all, in the official Mario manual, there is such a plot setting, and the bricks in Mario's world are all destroyed by the evil Kuba. Unleashed the presence of magic.
That is, they are people.
So, the question is, what does Mario mean when he broke the bricks? Does it mean that he killed someone?
So, the Mario series. In their hands, it has changed from a sunny all-age game to a dark to horror-oriented comics and novels.
Who's the bad guy is not just a topic of discussion.
This kind of justified subversion of the official setting of Chiba games,Regardless of what the whole age direction,Dark enough,In line with the preferences of many peopleใ
So, they became more and more popular, more and more popular.
Chiba Games North American aspect. I also noticed these two little brothers with the same name as cat and mouse, and reported it to the Chiba game headquarters.
However, Lin Yan said that there is no need to worry about them damaging Mario's image. After all, they are in a small circle, a subculture.
You can try to connect with them and work out some bottom lines.
For example, the classic guts of American horror. The less, the better.
After all, real horror. From the trembling of the human heart. The fear brought by internal organs is also the fear of human instinct.
It's like people smell bad things and get sick, just keep them away. Because, such bad things, rotten things, may carry deadly bacteria or diseases. Let the person who eats it, or comes close to it, become infected and thus die.
You know, in the era when medical care was not very developed, I got sick. But he was close to death.
Many times, it's a matter of resignation.
It's like when you don't have dentures, you often determine how old a person can live based on the degree of tooth breakage. Because, if you have bad teeth, you can't eat, or if you don't eat well, you will slowly lose weight and eventually die.
According to this theory, the design life of a human being is about 30 years.
More people live more than they get.
With the development of productive forces and the progress of technology, people live longer and longer. Even, in his eighties, nearly ninety years old, he can still steam rice every day and sell it, saying that steamed rice has become an immortal.
However, if you want to engage in that kind of psychological terror, you can't find Europeans and Americans to do it. Their personalities are too extroverted to understand what psychological horror is.
Or, even if you understand it on the surface, the thing you make doesn't taste like that.
This can be seen from the later "Silent Hill". Originally, it was a fun game in Japanese hands. And in the hands of Westerners, although they are still those elements, they become extremely boring, and they are simply in vain.
Perhaps, this also explains the perversion of the Japanese.
Speaking of perverts, Lin Yan heard about something about overtime and became very surprised.
Although Japanese companies often work overtime, of course, there are also people who work hard without saying a word, and complete the tasks left and right during normal working hours, and even exceed the tasks.
However, overtime is still the norm in the Japanese industry. For example, in Chiba Games, Lin Yan has been very careful not to let employees work overtime.
However, the number of days a week without overtime is only about two or three days.
Another thing that surprised Hayashi was that these Japanese craftsmen were sick. Obviously, I worked overtime until late at night, and I had to go out to dinner with my colleagues.
It's not enough to have a meal, you have to drink, you have to change scenes, and you can't do it until the middle of the night.
Then, the next day, I had to carry a hangover and get up early to see Tokyo at four o'clock. It's sick.
What Lin Yan heard about this incident is a Japanese media person's life schedule. Every day I go home at one o'clock, get up at three o'clock, leave the house at half past three, rehearse from four to five o'clock, and broadcast the news from five to six o'clock.
Breakfast at six to seven o'clock and catch the show. Then, at noon, I started to move by car, went to other places to catch up, and from 5 to 7 o'clock in the afternoon, I had to go to the gym to keep in shape.
I didn't go home until one o'clock in the evening to rest.
It's not a day or two, it's all year round.
Because of such work intensity, he finally died suddenly not long ago while broadcasting the news.
Because he died in the live broadcast room.
Therefore, it has caused a lot of controversy.
The Japanese know that this is not good, but what can be done, if you don't work hard, someone will work harder than you. Not to mention promotions and salary increases, it is very difficult to keep the current income.
Maybe a host, you don't work so hard. In less than two months, you will be eliminated to someone else as a younger brother.
Of course, the media industry is basically the most desperate industry in Japan.
Death from overwork happens every year, but it's rarely reported. After all, for people in the industry, it is already commonplace.
In any industry, don't die a few people, and don't be embarrassed to greet others.
Those who commute on time do not put in a low level of effort. Don't look at them leaving work early, in fact, they have a lot of things to do.
For example, taking care of the children, picking up and dropping off the children from school, etc.
After all, in this era, more and more Japanese women are coming out to work. There are some more detailed posts. It's still more suitable for women to do.
For example, during the animation process, I am responsible for checking for errors in each frame.
This is an important job because the artist can sometimes make the front and back shadows incongruous. Even, in the process of watching, most viewers will not find out about this thing.
However, it must be changed, because the audience can't find out, just because they can't feel awkward.
It's not about sexism. There is indeed a gap. Otherwise, the textile industry is basically made up of women. That's not it.
Even in Chiba games, there are many female staff. They were all very young when they entered the Chiba game, however, Chiba Yuki has also been established for almost ten years, and many of them have already married and had children.
Some went straight home to be housewives, while others were still working.
In this case, it can be found. These married women are much more efficient than others during normal working hours.
I used to like to talk about gossip during work hours, but I stopped talking and became very silent. Just worked hard.
It's a bit far, but Lin Yan still plans to find some horrors in Japan.
It's not too much trouble to find them, because the current Akihabara is the same as another plane. It has also been transformed from an electrical street to a holy place of house culture.
Countless artists come to Akihabara on weekends to set up stalls. Three copies of two copies are sold and one is sold.
Maybe someone from the magazine will see it and think it's a talent, and they'll talk about it.
In fact, Chiba Games itself has a list of such artists, and what each person is good at drawing and what his name is known for is clearly recorded.
Lin Yan's plan this time is to set up a small game production company and let them make horror games. and the Chiba game itself.
Of course, this is basically covering up and stealing the bell, and people in the industry know that this is the vest of Chiba Games.
In fact, because the Chiba game platform has restrictions on publishing games, which large company, there are not one or two vests. Even, the fame of the vest company is not one or two more than the company.
Lin Yan used this to use the video game rating system.
Although, since that bad incident, the grading system has been in place. However, the implementation is not ideal.
Because, the positioning of the Chiba game itself is very sunny. In addition, there are indeed some games that are more over-the-top and have been ordered to be modified by Mario Club.
Therefore, everyone thinks that Chiba games don't need those niche and heavy games.
This time, Lin Yan just wanted to tell them that as long as the game has nothing to do with Qing-Shi, in fact, it can be launched on the new console platform.
Because, now the games of the Chiba game console, there is a problem, that is, the age is getting younger and younger. This does not bode well.
Because, this will lose a large number of adult players.
Don't look at the market of Qing-Shi games, it seems that it is not big, but it makes a lot of money. There are many of these little butter companies that make a fortune in silence.
Those large companies that were rejected by Chiba Games also drove vests and tested the waters in these niche markets.
In fact, baby butter has evolved a lot from the mid-eighties to the present.
From the very beginning, it is only a software for good children to vent, and it cannot be called a game. directly went up, and it became the current plot tactful, with a complete story line of development. It's also a very powerful development.
In fact, a future issue of the game's award-winning work, "Song of Saya", was launched in that market, and an uncensored revised version was launched.
has been well received, and the humanity mixed in the meat and fish is stuck with each other, which makes many people crazy about this plot.
Even, than that pure version of "The Song of Saya", it has received more praise.
Lin Yan thought about why, probably because the boy's sage time was making trouble. When I entered that time, I became very ethereal, and I wanted to explore philosophy.
However, Lin Yan didn't think that this was the most gentlemanly. The most gentlemanly kind should be watching the Asahi Shimbun and being able to enter the sage time.
It was horrible.
It's like some otaku, kidnapping little Lori.
After taking them away, they didn't do anything, just playing games with them, reading poetry together, or something. It's more terrifying than those.
Playing games with little Lori can make them sublimate their souls. Even, it was suggested that they should become kindergarten teachers.
It's good to have Lori and Lori too much.
Tracing back to the roots.,In fact, the reason why Akihabara has its own and the community to sell doujinshi,The root is in Hayashi and them.ใ
You know, "Game of Destiny" is basically the first game to be marketed in Akihabara like this.
Of course, Game of Destiny itself is also quite playable and fun.
Of course, no matter how good it is to play the game, it will be boring to play for a long time. In fact, the new sales of "Destiny Games" are not as good as they were in the early years.
When a new expansion pack comes out, it's often called a dogtail mink.
This is the sign that a game has entered the end of its life cycle. Just like many video games nowadays, they can only be used to sell feelings.
After all, there are many things that change over time.
The original popular work may not be in line with this era, and if it becomes backward and stupid, it will be eliminated. This is a very normal thing.
Those who want to revitalize these backward works are actually blocking the car with the mantis arm.
Even if you can make a few small waves, that's all. The general trend is like this, and it is impossible for anyone to go against the general trend.
If there is one person, he is the general trend, and everything he does has set off a wave of waves. That's just because he's the one he's chosen for.
He's definitely not going to be the one to block the mantis arm.
Hayashi may have lamented the decline of a game genre before, such as his long-term addiction to ancient games.
That is, in those red and white machine games.
After all, the entire history of video games is only forty years. The first ten years can indeed be said to be ancient.
Saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new is also the direction of development now.
Just like the role-playing maps that are trending right now.
Lin Yan has been paying attention to this community, because there is something he is waiting for that is being incubated in this community.
Perhaps, these people involved are not professional game producers. However, they are the players themselves, and they know better what the players want. (To be continued.) )
