Chapter 122: I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala?!

Although the time has just come to 1995, among the more famous games that Meng Zhe is familiar with, the "Warcraft" generation has been made out by Blizzard, the "Diablo" generation will come out next year, and "Red Alert", which has swept the entire Chinese Internet cafes, is also in development.

Referring to the self-proclaimed advanced leading software, but in fact the average game production ability, Meng Zhe's remaining choice can only be a small game that is not too complicated, but will also be popular after it is produced.

Therefore, Meng Zhe chose "Lianliankan" and "Plants vs. Zombies" after picking and choosing.

As for turning "Lianliankan" into "Sword of Immortals", it is just to increase the attractiveness and added value of the game, and after this gimmick, fans of the "Sword of Immortals" TV animation will naturally have a strong interest in this game.

As for the RPG version of "Sword of Immortals", Meng Zhe does not plan to do it for the time being, because he is not satisfied with the 2D in the form of Sword and Fairy, and 3D technology is just starting now, and there is basically no good fruit to eat if he is forced to do it.

It's different with a simple and playable game like Lianliankan, which is now fully capable of supporting full effects.

According to the settings in Meng Zhe's plan, this "Sword of Immortals" not only allows you to see the exquisite CG of "Sword of Immortals" after completing each level, but also has a variety of honor settings.

Including various honorary titles such as "Master of Clearance", "King of Speed", and "Achievement of XXXX Points", after achieving how many hits, there will be hidden liankan icons and hidden game music, etc.

These plagiarized some of the ideas that have been rotten in later generations, so that Bian Xiaochun, who was holding the game production plan, was fascinated by it, and kept whispering: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it...... The game can still be done like this......"

It was easy to read the game production plan of "Lianliankan", and Bian Xiaochun immediately spread out the "Plants vs. Zombies" and watched it again.

After discovering that this "Plants vs. Zombies" was actually planting flowers and plants, and then using flowers and plants to kill zombies, although he was amazed by Meng Zhe's 'whimsy' again, Bian Xiaochun finally expressed his disagreement this time.

"Boss Xiao Meng, I'm afraid this "Plants vs. Zombies" doesn't have anything to do? Although there are also various honor settings, but it's so boring to plant flowers and plants, it is estimated that no one wants to continue playing after playing once or twice......"

Although he was slightly hesitant, Bian Xiaochun still said what he really thought.

It's just that Bian Xiaochun's judgment made Meng Zhe a little speechless - just kidding, no one wants to continue playing after playing once or twice?! Plants vs. Zombies is a game that has received a high score of 9.5 for the overall performance of the famous game review website IGN, right?

Meng Zhe, who was thinking like this in his heart, did not reprimand Bian Xiaochun's deviant vision, after all, there was basically no tower defense game in these years, and there was no interesting game such as Plants vs. Zombies that has made great innovations in ordinary tower defense games.

Therefore, Meng Zhe could only ask Bian Xiaochun like this: "What type of games do you like to play?" ”

What type of games do I like to play? Does this have anything to do with this "Plants vs. Zombies"?

This question made Bian Xiaochun slightly flustered, but then he answered honestly: "RPG type like "Dragon Quest" ......"

The abbreviation RPG refers to the rocket launchers that are often carried by terrorists and Somali pirates, but in the game industry, it refers to role-playing games.

Obviously, the RPG mentioned by Bian Xiaochun is not a big killer in the hands of black uncles like bazookas.

So after hearing Bian Xiaochun's answer, Meng Zhe nodded and said: "This "Plants vs. Zombies", you can call it a tower defense game, and the fun of this game lies in relying on a variety of different towers...... Well, here, of course, it's a combination of plants to destroy an increasingly powerful enemy. And after successfully combining plants to kill the incoming enemies and beat the level, the huge psychological sense of accomplishment will keep players entertained and keep playing! Of course, this already involves game psychology......"

To be honest, although Bian Xiaochun has been engaged in game development for many years, he has always been making games with his love for games, so Meng Zhe's statement that has risen to the theoretical level makes him feel very novel.

So, Bian Xiaochun almost subconsciously asked: "Game psychology?" ”

Okay, game psychology is Meng Zhe's nonsense, but as a reborn person, Meng Zhe wants to fool Bian Xiaochun, who is already a little dizzy, is too simple.

"Yes, game psychology!" Meng Zhe first said this categorically, and then began to discuss the game psychology in his mouth: "People are social animals, so after meeting the most basic needs such as clothing, food, housing and transportation, they will hope to be able to achieve the affirmation of others and the respect of the whole society." However, in the complex society, there is obviously no such thing as a person who is smooth sailing at all times, so everyone will more or less have a time when they are more or less aggrieved because of various failures and cannot be recognized by others or even the whole society, right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bian Xiaochun nodded again and again, Meng Zhe said these words too empathetic now, so Meng Zhe continued: "When there are people who are subconsciously depressed because of these things that are not right for their efforts and gains, they find that when they play games, they only need to invest very, very little cost, and they can get game feedback and his great psychological satisfaction, and this psychological satisfaction can make him temporarily forget the unsatisfactory in life?" ”

Hearing this, Bian Xiaochun suddenly realized as if he had been beaten up: "Ah! I understand! Boss Meng, what you mean is that the difficulty of making the game doesn't matter, the important thing is to let the people who play the game get a huge sense of satisfaction with only a very small amount of effort, right?! ”

Ruzi ...... Ahem, teachable.

Meng Zhe was quite satisfied with Bian Xiaochun's reaction, so after discussing it with Kong Lan, the leading software, which was officially named 'Wild Lan Entertainment Software Company', received a total of 500,000 yuan in game development funds for the development of "Sword of Immortals" and "Plants vs. Zombies" provided by Meng Zhe.

Of course, the first game to be developed is undoubtedly "Sword of Immortals", although Meng Zhe vetoed Bian Xiaochun's prime-grade statement, when the TV animation of "Sword of Immortals" is still on the air to launch the game, it will help the final sales of the game after all, right?

After solving the problem of game development, Meng Zhe was soon entangled by another difficult guy - the manager surnamed Luo of EMI EMI Records came to Wufeng County for the third time and tried to persuade Meng Zhe to agree to sign Jing Xi and Ji Youyuan, who are now popular voice actors and singers, to EMI Records.

Of course Meng Zhe won't agree to this kind of thing, after all, he has already set up Jiji Media, right?

Speaking of which, Jiji Media has already produced MTVs that include the "Sword of Immortals" series of songs, and the distribution of genuine VCD discs for these MTVs was once again entrusted to Wan Yan to help find someone to OEM.

Because of Meng Zhe's existence, Wan Yan, who should have been about to be squeezed out of the DVD player market in the original history, is now selling very well with the TV animation of "Sword of Immortals", which has developed to sixteen provinces, and the TV commercials placed heavily on CCTV.

Even Meng Zhe and his father Meng Guozhu, after watching TV commercials, couldn't help but go to the Wanyan VCD store in the county and buy a new Wanyan VCD player to go home.

Meng Zhe naturally has no opinion on this, anyway, with him as an expert in making money, the family has long been short of these thousands of yuan, right?

Although Meng Zhe rejected it for the third time, the manager surnamed Luo did not mean to be frustrated, but asked Jiji Animation Studio if it was making a new cartoon again.

Gigi Animation Studio is of course working on a new cartoon, and as soon as the contract was signed, Lenovo couldn't wait to release the wind, saying that their company had invested heavily in Gigi Animation to produce a new TV cartoon "i-am-legend".

Therefore, Meng Zhe had nothing to hide about this problem, and casually confirmed this gossip to the manager surnamed Luo of Baidai.

"Our company has recently discovered a few newcomers with very good voices, if you are willing, Boss Meng, we are willing to pay for the more suitable of these newcomers, to ...... the opening and ending songs of this new cartoon album of Boss Meng."

After getting Meng Zhe's personal confirmation, the manager surnamed Luo said like this, it is obvious that he did not say this temporarily, but came prepared.

Regarding this problem, Meng Zhe discussed it with Kong Lan, and finally chose to agree to EMI Records' request.

But at the same time, Meng Zhe also proposed that EMI Records needed to help 'Gigi Media' and use their sales channels to sell various audio-visual products of "Sword of Immortals" produced by Gigi Media.

Although the TV anime of the first episode of "Sword of Immortals" has not yet been broadcast, the VCD is already in production, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the anime shop chain store to sell it...... By the end of August, the first season of "Sword of Immortals", with a total of twelve episodes, had been broadcast, and the progress of the story had only just begun, and the three of Yun Tianhe had just joined the Qionghua faction under the recommendation of Murong Ziying.

As a result, in anticipation, Jiji's animation work announced that the second season of "Sword of Immortals" is already in full swing.

And for anime boys, the good news is not only that the second season of "Sword of Immortals" will start broadcasting at the beginning of next year, but another exciting news is produced by Gigi Animation Studio, the new TV animation "i-am-legend" in the early morning of the first Saturday in October, a total of 18 provincial TV stations across the country will be broadcast at the same time!

At this time, Meng Zhe was busy training the girls of the "Women's Twelve Orchestra" who had just been selected and brought back by Luo Shadi from Yanjing...... Okay, okay, although Meng Zhe thinks those girls are sisters in his heart, but his biological age is only fourteen years old, but he has to call those girls 'sisters' verbally.

The time has been greatly advanced, so that this women's twelve orchestra personally selected by Luo Shadi, except that the team name is the same as the women's twelve orchestra that Meng Zhe liked before his rebirth, the composition of the members is completely different.

After more than a month of running-in, this brand-new women's 12th orchestra has been able to perform traditional pop Chinese music on the stage more skillfully.

In order to train the team and make a name for himself, Meng Zhe handed over part of the soundtrack of the TV animated version of "1-AM-LEGEND" to the newly formed Women's Twelve Orchestra to complete.

At the same time, Meng Zhe began to think about what to do in order to make the Women's Twelve Band, who had signed a 'long-term deed of sale' with his Jiji Media, quickly become famous.

Thinking about it, Meng Zhe felt that he still had to follow the method before his rebirth, send the Twelve Women's Orchestra to Yueben for a tour, and use his own hands to make a name for himself and get some silver back.

So the problem comes again, although Meng Zhe is now very familiar with the comic industry over there, he has nothing to do with the pop music industry.

At this time, Meng Zhe suddenly received an invitation letter from CCTV - CCTV invited Meng Zhe to participate in the 95-year gala, and Kong Lan, who is an overseas Chinese in Taiwan, was also invited.

The invitation was accompanied by a text message, which hoped that Meng Zhe, who was already a famous figure in the country, could draw a cartoon with the title of the Year of the Rat in 1996, and then CCTV would show this rat cartoon to the people of the whole country through television.

Nani ——?!

This, this...... Isn't this the treatment of Xia Ying Lori during the 2010 Spring Festival Gala?

Looking at the invitation from CCTV for the Spring Festival Gala, Meng Zhe showed a rather strange look, he was thinking that if he went to the Spring Festival Gala, Xia Ying's children's shoes should not have a chance to be on again in the future, right?

Therefore, Meng Zhe was a little hesitant, because he felt that he had taken advantage of so many reborn people, and it would be a little unkind to take advantage of Xia Ying...... However, Meng Zhe soon found out that he seemed to have to go to this Spring Festival Gala, because Kong Lan, who also got the invitation letter, told Meng Zhe: "Xiao Zhe, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has not been stable recently, and President Lee Teng-hui is using the slogan of reading power to get votes in order to be re-elected...... I heard that he has already asked the Americans to fly the aircraft carrier to the Taiwan Strait......"

Taiwan wants to read?

Not...... As soon as Kong Lan said this, Meng Zhe really remembered it.

This was indeed the case in '95 and '96, because Hong Kong was about to return to the motherland, and Taiwan's then-President Lee Teng-hui wanted to do his reading skills, and the Yankees did drive the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to Taiwan, but it seemed that they were frightened back by the live missile launch of the mainland's large-scale exercise in the Taiwan Strait.

Therefore, in order to show that the mainland compatriots and the Taiwan compatriots are one family, let us and Sister Lan go to the Spring Festival Gala?

Although he is not sensitive to politics at all and is not interested, but this kind of political wisdom that is not profound, Meng Zhe can still see through it.

Kong Lan, on the other hand, nodded to Meng Zhe, saying that the truth was indeed what Meng Zhe thought, and that she and Meng Zhe went to the Spring Festival Gala out of the need for the united front, not that Meng Zhe and her fame were so big that they had participated in the Spring Festival Gala for six years, and Song Shanmu, a die-hard fan of the Spring Festival Gala who had been on camera every year.

Of course, Meng Zhe immediately left Song Shanmu behind, because Song Shanmu had capsized because of the forced annihilation, and there was no chance to continue the Spring Festival Gala journey.

"Sister Lan, do we really have to go?"

Meng Zhe asked weakly, to be honest, he was not very interested in such things as the Spring Festival Gala.

"We have to go, unless we don't want to continue to run the Tianjiao Society."

Kong Lan nodded, and refused the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, and the consequences were obviously big or small. And even Tianjiao Society has not been able to handle this kind of consequence, which is obviously the biggest situation...... "Okay, then go." ”

Since Kong Lan said so, Meng Zhe could only nod helplessly.

"Well, don't forget to draw a mouse caricature for the New Year!"

Kong Lan smiled, because she felt that being able to go to the Spring Festival Gala would be beneficial to Tianjiao Club and Meng Zhe himself, so why not go?

Rat comics?

Is it okay to draw "Shuck and Beta"?

Well, it's not impossible to paint "Shuke and Beta", but Meng Zhe thinks it's better to forget it.

After searching for a lot in his memory, Meng Zhe remembered that when Zhang was chatting in the afterlife, someone else sent him a picture of a fat and satisfied pink cartoon mouse.

So, Meng Zhe painted for half an afternoon and carefully copied this group.

The reason why it took so long is because Meng Zhe also added some background pictures of life and prosperity to this comic, as well as the words "Year of the Rat".

Hearing that Meng Zhe and Kong Lan were going to the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Xiyao was very excited, and Xiao Nizi clamored to go to the scene with Meng Zhe to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Of course, Jiang Xiyao's impossibly unfulfilled request was quickly extinguished by Jiang Weirui, who was her sister.

"Mei'er, Meng Zhe has an invitation letter from CCTV, so he can go to the Spring Festival Gala."

Jiang Weirui said.

"Nasty...... CCTV is so annoying, why don't you send me an invitation letter too! ”

Jiang Xiyao pouted and said this with annoyance.

"Stupid Meier, do you really want to go to the Spring Festival Gala on site?"

Looking at the pitiful appearance of his sister-in-law, Meng Zhe was a little unbearable, so he asked like this.

"I want to go, I want to go! I really want to go! ”

Jiang Xiyao nodded again and again, and looked at Meng Zhe with extremely hopeful eyes, because Xiao Nizi felt that Meng Zhe would definitely be able to solve this big problem.

"Hmm...... I'll figure it out! ”

Meng Zhe thinks that this matter can actually be done, although it is said that CCTV's Spring Festival Gala never sells tickets to the public, but Song Shanmu's face can be the same for six years, and it appears in the audience of the Spring Festival Gala, isn't it?

"Yay! I knew, I knew that Meng Jiji would help people find a way! ”

Before Meng Zhe's words fell, Jiang Xiyao's mother had already shown an excited expression, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people around, she would definitely drag Meng Zhe's arm and shake it violently, so that Meng Zhe's arm could eat some free sister-in-law brand tofu...... "Xun'er, what about you?" Would you like to check it out? ”

And Meng Zhe has already transferred the realization to his future wife Jiang Weirui, since he has the opportunity to let his sister-in-law go to watch the Spring Festival Gala, then of course Meng Zhe will not leave Jiang Weirui behind.

"Huh? I, I ......"

Meng Zhe's questioning made Jiang Weirui become a frightened little rabbit, where was she embarrassed to say that she actually wanted to see it?

"Got it! Then let's go to the Spring Festival Gala together! ”

Although Jiang Weirui almost didn't say anything, what was Jiang Weirui thinking in her heart, where would Meng Zhe not know?

As a result, the news that Meng Zhe, Kong Lan and the two big loli of the Jiang family were going to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala spread widely.

and three beautiful girls, going to the scene to watch the Spring Festival Gala, such a happy thing made Meng Zhe once again the most jealous man in the city. To put it mildly, if he can kill people, Meng Zhe doesn't know how many times he has died.

To be honest, Meng Zhe actually enjoyed those jealous eyes, but soon his attention was drawn to something new - the Yoshida clan editor who was based at Tianjiao Club told Meng Zhe that the "Eva" he had licensed to GAINAX had been produced and aired.

"EVA", which is actually quite esoteric and obscure and full of religious content, has created a ratings myth since it was broadcast, as it was before the rebirth. Although this ratings myth cannot be compared with the ratings myth created by Meng Zhe with "Sword of Immortals", it is a fact that the whole country is talking about EVA in China.

With the popularity of EVA, the peripheral products of animation have also entered the hot sales, which is quite good news for Meng Zhe, because it means that he will soon get a lot of money again.

Sure enough, it is still to make foreigners' money, especially the money of these little devils is the most enjoyable.

According to the previous situation, after calculating a little of the benefits he will be able to obtain, Meng Zhe made such a voice of happiness.

"Meng Sang, take advantage of the broadcast of EVA, and authorize your "Sword of Immortals" TV animation to be broadcast on our TV station! I think with Meng Sang's current reputation in Yuben, you will definitely be able to sell it for a very good price! ”

After reporting EVA's hit information to Meng Zhe, Yoshida said to Meng Zhe in a voice full of demagogy.

Meng Zhe thought about it, since they were all broadcast in China, it would be completely impossible to say that if they didn't take it to the overseas market to make money.

It's just that before Meng Zhe could say what he meant, the big-tailed wolf of the Yoshida clan who couldn't hide his tail revealed his true purpose: "Meng Sang, the relationship between our Shueisha and the major TV stations in Yuben is very good, so you will ...... the TV animation of "Sword of Immortals" Just leave it to us! ”

Well?

Yoshida is right.,Shueisha is the boss of the manga industry because of manga magazines such as "Shonen Jump", so it does have a good relationship with the major TV stations of Yuben, but they want me to be the agent of the TV animation of "Sword of Immortals", what does it mean?

Fancy the agency fee?

No way...... I don't know how many times higher the agency fee is paid by Shueisha every year to those manga artists, "Yoshida, tell me the purpose of your Shueisha, and if you don't say it, I'll give the agency of "Sword of Immortals" to the Shirasensha, Shogakukan, Kadokawa Shoten, or any other opponent of your Shueisha! And if you mess up your job, you will definitely be fired from your Shueisha, right? ”

Since he had doubts, Meng Zhe immediately came up with a killer weapon to deal with the Yoshida clan - this guy from the Yoshida clan couldn't listen to the expulsion of Shueisha, and as soon as these few came out, he would tremble like a swing.

This time is obviously no exception, as soon as Meng Zhe sacrificed this killer weapon, the Yoshida clan trembled and his mouth and eyes were crooked.

Mengsan...... You must be kidding, right? ”

Poor Yoshida looked at Meng Zhe with a resentful expression.

"What do you say?"

Meng Zhe was completely unmoved by Yoshida's pitiful appearance.

As a result, the Yoshida clan quickly took everything - it turned out that Shueisha wanted the TV animation agency of "Sword of Immortals" so much, and the root of it was indeed in the TV station system of Yuben.

Because of the law, there is no CCTV in a monopoly position, but several large television stations such as the 'Yuben Broadcasting Association' and several groups composed of many small television stations at the county and city levels under these big television stations.

Naturally, there is competition between these TV groups.

As for the competition between TV stations, excellent TV program sources are obviously very important, so Meng Zhe has created a ratings myth in China, "Sword of Immortals", which is obviously a very, very high-quality TV program source.

Originally, there was nothing to do with Shueisha in this kind of competition between TV station groups, but as Meng Zhe understood, there is a close connection between Shueisha and these TV station groups - just like between people, there will be friends, passers-by, and enemies, and the relationship between Shueisha and these TV station groups is also far and near.

And now the TV station group that has obtained the broadcast rights of "EVA" happens to have a very bad relationship with Shueisha.

Therefore, Shueisha tried to use the method of obtaining the agency rights of "Sword of Immortals" to disgust the TV station group with which they had a bad relationship, and to support the allied NHK with whom they had a good relationship...... After listening to the poor Yoshida's story, Meng Zhe quickly had his idea, and the reason was precisely because Shueisha's friendly object was NHK.

"I promised to give you Shueisha the Sword of Immortals, but I have a small request."

Meng Zhe squinted his eyes and said to Yoshida.

(To be continued)
