Chapter 193: The Sims Launch
"I said that one day Dream Eaters will be a global phenomenon."
A voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Big field turnback.
Looking at this teenager who thought this guy was crazy at the time, "You published my work at your own expense?" ”
"That's right."
This person is none other than Zhang Ning.
"Thank you."
Dachang didn't know whether he was excited or lost at this time.
Excitedly, his dream eater became popular all over Japan, and when he was lost, he didn't even believe in his own work.
Moreover, it was sold to him for 100,000 yen. If this is said, it will be really embarrassing.
"Thank you, I made a lot of money."
Zhang Ning said with a smile.
"That's your vision, and you've done what you promised me."
"You mean, your pen name?"
"Yes."
Zhang Ning took a few steps closer and looked at the big field with the painting clip, "The Dream Eater was originally painted by you, I'm just very interested in the Dream Eater." Here's your manuscript fee......"
As he spoke, Zhang Ning took out a check for 10 million yen for the manuscript fee.
"This ......"
Dachang looked at Zhang Ning hesitantly, "This is my manuscript fee?" ”
"That's right, Dream Eater sold more than 10 million copies, and I made a lot of money, so I gave you a manuscript fee."
"But didn't I sell it to you for 100,000 yen?"
"Well...... this"
Zhang Ning looked at the big field and felt that this almost 40-year-old uncle had a sincere heart.
Although he knew that the Dream Eater painted it himself, he should have received the manuscript fee. However, because he thought of selling the copyright to him for 100,000 yen, he did not accept it. This kind of morality, Zhang Ning is still relatively recognized. It's just that Zhang Ning didn't buy Dream Eater to make any money. Besides, even if it is a wild sale of 100 million copies, it will not make much money for a person in a business like Zhang Ning. No matter what he cares about, it's just his game.
Similarly, coming to Japan and buying Dream Eaters and the like, a qiē, is also for his Sims.
Only games can really enter the Japanese market, and let Zhang Ning really make a lot of money.
Therefore, Zhang Ning is still willing to give Dachang the manuscript fee he deserves.
"Hehe, Dream Eater is so popular, isn't Mr. Oba going to continue painting? The 10,000,000 yen will be considered as your reward for continuing to write the Dream Eater. And, I would like to ask me a favor? ”
"What's the busy?"
"I'd like to ask you to promote a game."
The name of this game is The Sims.
Recently, the new profession of cartoonist added to The Sims has been completely debugged. Although the entire version has not appeared, Sims can develop a few of Japan's most popular classes on their own and bring them to the market. As for some other classes, they can be added slowly in the future, as patch packs.
The Dream Eater fire not only plunged Japan into a frenzy of comics, but also made Zhang Ning see the business opportunities here. If you bring some of the Dream Eater's characters to The Sims, and also have the Dream Eater's author come forward to help you promote the Sims. I'm afraid, as long as he says a word, the Sims can be a big hit in Japan.
This was planned by Zhang Ning a long time ago, and now it is just a plan that has just been promoted.
……
"Nomura, congratulations on your final fantasy being a big hit again."
With a good performance at the Tokyo Game Show, coupled with Final Fantasy's golden signboard, Final Fantasy continues to sell well.
On the side of the game, not to Final Fantasy 11 of the maker Zuò Nomura congratulations.
"It's nothing, my success is also based on the efforts of my predecessors."
Nomura shows a modest side.
"Where, Nomura, although the Final Fantasy brand is important, if Final Fantasy 11 is not innovative, I am afraid that it will not be able to continue to sell well. Anyway, you have a share of the credit for the success of Final Fantasy. ”
"yes, Nomura, I just don't know what kind of sales record Final Fantasy can make."
Everyone was looking forward to it.
"Hehe, don't think about the record, it's definitely an amazing result anyway. However, I do have an interesting fact to share with you. ”
Another person chimed in.
"What's the funny thing?"
"It is said that tomorrow there is a game from China that will be released in Japan."
"No, it won't."
Everyone was shocked, "When will China also make games?" ”
"Hey, don't talk about China like that, they also developed a plant vs. zombie before."
Nomura stood up at this time and said a good word for the Chinese game industry.
"Hehe, what's this, Plants vs. Zombies is just a game that doesn't go into the stream in our Japan."
This is, of course, a lie.
Although Plants vs. Zombies didn't sell well in Japan, it didn't sell too badly either.
It's just that these guys have always had a bad impression of China, and it just so happens that China is very bad in this regard.
There is no reason why they do not take the opportunity to ridicule China.
"By the way, you haven't said what the name of the game is."
"Sims?"
Everyone looked at it and said, "I haven't heard of it, which company developed it?" ”
"It won't be Aotin Technology."
At this time, Noda said suddenly.
"Noda-kun is still well-informed, it's that Aoting Technology. I heard that they want to open up the Japanese market again. ”
"Haha, open the Japanese market. This Aotin Technology is really good at talking, even the United States has not opened our market, China, it is a dream. ”
The crowd laughed.
"I'm thinking about what it's going to be like tomorrow when their game launch site goes cold."
"That's what I thought, too, when the time comes, they shouldn't find some people to buy as game enthusiasts."
From time to time, everyone talked about it.
"Why don't we go and visit their sales tomorrow."
Noda said.
I satirized Zhang Ning once last time, but I didn't expect that this guy would come to Japan again, and Noda really wanted to despise that guy again.
"Hahaha, it's still Noda-kun who is interested. Okay, let's go, let's go see it tomorrow. ”
Everyone seemed to have fun, and as soon as they agreed to visit tomorrow, it was like watching a play.
The next day, the group and others got together again.
"By the way, guys, if no one buys their games in a while, we can go buy a few sets, don't make them look too ugly, don't you."
Noda came up with an idea.
"Yes, yes, we are very hospitable in Japan, they come to our Japan, and they have to buy a few sets anyway."
"Haha, you bad guys, so it seems that I will also go and give them a beating."
There was laughter again.
They said that they were cheering, but where was the praise, it was clear that they wanted to humiliate them.
It's just that when they drove to the sales venue booked by Aotin Technology, they suddenly found that it was already crowded.
"Wouldn't it, there are so many people here?"
Noda said in surprise.
"I don't know, but is it possible that one of our Japanese game companies is also releasing games today?"
"It's possible."
There are too many game companies in Japan, even more than Final Fantasy game companies.
Once they are released, they are crowded, and they are even more lively than the concerts of some stars.
"Dream Eater, Dream Eater, Dream Eater."
"The big field is clear, the big field is clear, the big field is clear."
The crowd of black oppressors kept chanting the names of Dream Eater and Oba Zeming.
"Khan, it turned out that the author of the Dream Eater, Oba Zeming, is holding a signing meeting."
Seeing everyone's crazy looks, Noda understood.
"It's such a good manga, and after I read it, I wanted to change to a manga."
The other person was also stained with sounds.
"Yes, it seems that there will be another manga master in Japan."
Everyone is a game-maker.
Games and manga are not the same, but there are many similarities between games and manga in Japan.
For example, games also rely on comics to make zuò, and similarly, games and comics are also products of the second dimension.
At the same time, games and comics, they have a strikingly similar buying crowd.
Even the Final Fantasy comic book version, which is based on the game, sold well.
At this time, seeing that it was a big signing meeting, everyone sighed from time to time.
"If you have the opportunity, you can cooperate with Dachang Zeming."
Noda said in a hurry.
"Well, with his current appeal, it would be great if he promoted the game for us."
Several of them were smart people, and they immediately thought of the commercial value of Dachang Zeming.
It's just that just as a few people entered the crowd, suddenly, Noda saw a person.
"Zhang Ning."
A sentence of Zhang Ning made the young man in front of him stop.
"Unexpectedly, we met again."
Looking at Zhang Ning, who was a few meters in front of him, Noda said with an evil smile.
"yes, we're meeting again."
This person is naturally Zhang Ning.
"yes, I heard that you seem to have a new work to be released today. But you're not lucky. The author of the Dream Eater, Dachang Zeming, actually held a signing meeting here. I don't think anyone will be interested in your game. ”
"Really?"
Zhang Ning looked at the guy who had humiliated himself at the Tokyo Game Show, and also smiled, "Mr. Noda, do you also think that the popularity of Dream Eaters is very good?" ”
"Of course, Dream Eater has become an idol for all manga fans in Japan. I think that the big field will be the God of today's signing meeting. Your simulated life really shouldn't have been touched by Dachang Zeming. ”
Noda said with a look of pity.
"Mr. Noda, you're right, and I think so too."
Zhang Ning looked at Noda meaningfully and continued to speak, "Maybe you don't know, Daba Zeming is not here today to hold a dream eater's signing meeting. ”
"It's not a signing meeting"
Noda looked at so many Dream Eater fans at the scene, and seemed to say, are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?
Zhang Ning understood Noda's expression and said, "Maybe you will say, since Noriaki Oba didn't come here to hold a signing meeting, what is he doing here?" ”
After a pause, Zhang Ning continued, "As you said, I also think that Noriaki Oba has become the idol of all manga fans in Japan. It just so happens that one of the games I developed, Sims, also has a career as a cartoonist. Ohba said that our game is very good, and he wants to help us promote this game for free. He also said that he was willing to put all the Dream Eater game characters in our Sims. I couldn't shirk it, so I asked him to come over and help me publicize it. ”
After speaking, Zhang Ning didn't pay any more attention to Noda, but immediately walked up to the booth.
