Chapter 519: Kazunori Yamauchi
Li Yongjin was not in the mood all morning.
In fact, he also knows that he is only a small company, and it is reasonable to be rejected by the E3 organizing committee, but no matter who it is, when encountering failures and setbacks, it is not so easy to completely let go.
It's not just Li Yongjin who can't let go, even other employees of Daewoo can't let go.
Because E3's reply letter stated their reasons, they think that this game lacks novelty, and even, many years ago, Mars Entertainment only made a similar game, so this time it is impossible for them to play such a game.
In other words, judging from this reply letter, E3 put almost all the blame for Daewoo's unsuccessful application on the game's designer.
Therefore, the other people in Daewoo are also a little angry with Yao Zhuangxian.
But then again, Yao Zhuangxian and them are only in a cooperative relationship now, and even the other party doesn't take a salary from them, just a little share, and they don't talk much about each other, but this time they sent "Monopoly" to review, but Yao Zhuangxian himself mentioned it.
Of course, the game they were developing at that time was indeed not finished, and even if it was accelerated, it might not be so perfect, and at most they could get a demo.
It's far better than taking "Monopoly" directly.
The most important thing is that they also recognized the game "Monopoly" at the time, because after they tried it, they also thought it was a very fun game, but what they didn't expect was that a few years ago, Mars Entertainment only made a game of the same type.
And this game was on the PC platform at the time, and there was no large-scale release at that time, so not many people have played this game of Mars Entertainment except for North America, let alone their crooked places.
It's normal to not know if you haven't heard of it.
Yao Zhuangxian is not here, so these people in Daewoo have fired at Yao Zhuangxian because of this failure.
"I said at the time, even if we send a demo of "Xuanyuan Sword" over, maybe it will be much better than the "Monopoly" that uses him."
This sentence was also agreed by everyone.
Li Yongjin couldn't stand it anymore, so he patted the table and said impatiently: "What's the use of talking about this now?" But then again, do you think our company is really qualified to participate in E3? Do you know what are the companies that have announced the launch date? โ
As he spoke, Li Yongjin paused slightly.
He looked around the room fiercely with his eyes: "In other words, even if the "Xuanyuan Sword" that we are making now is completed and the DEBUG is completed, do you think we will definitely be able to participate in E3?" โ
Hearing his boss say this, the people in Daewoo also lowered their heads in shame.
"It's not appropriate to put all the responsibility on Yao Zhuangxian, and he's not our person, so we can't do anything about him, and, the game "Monopoly", our department spent 100,000 yuan to buy it out from him, in order to participate in E3, we have postponed the release time, since E3 can't participate, then prepare for the sale."
As he spoke, Li Yongjin's tone became confident again.
"I'm still very optimistic about this game, the playability is very good, and it is very likely that the sales will reach our peak, I think 20,000 units can be sold."
Hearing his boss say that he was so confident, the employees of Daewoo, who were originally a little demoralized because they received a reply from the E3 organizing committee, responded one after another, but Li Yongjin's words were obviously not finished, and he continued to clap his hands, so that the employees present could refocus their attention on him.
"But we still have to work harder, although our games made a little money before, so that we have a little fame, but some of this industry, if you can't do better than the vast majority of people, then you can't get ahead, we don't have those big company channels, their funds to introduce European and American games, so we can only rely on ourselves."
"Our next game, Xuanyuan Sword, is an opportunity for us, and as long as we can continue according to the previously agreed progression, we will definitely be able to reap the benefits!"
Li Yongjin said impassionedly, and the people who listened to it were also bloody, and they howled one after another.
Jester didn't know what was happening on this island tens of thousands of miles away, in fact, since he wrote his comments on the back of "Monopoly", he hadn't paid attention to Daewoo at all, and even in the face of the review team that met the requirements, Jester didn't specifically explain it.
In fact, there was no need for him to explain it at all, in other words, Jester himself forgot about it.
He has been very busy lately, and he has no time to develop the game, and he needs to participate in the arrangement of some interviews and the preparation of some matters.
For example, just yesterday, he arranged an interview with the designers of the games in his company that were going to appear at the E3 exhibition, and these interviews were to be directly broadcast on some mainstream TV stations in Europe, the United States and Japan, which were all publicity opportunities that Jester bought with money.
Things like renting a space, but he doesn't have to worry about it.
Far away in Japan.
Kazunori Yamauchi is a student who is graduating this year, and there are two things in front of him, one is to find a job, and the other is that if you don't want to work now, you have to prepare for the next graduate school exams.
However, he has been a little restless lately, and he can't read a book.
So he simply turned on the TV and tuned to the game channel he often watched, and the TV screen was showing news about games.
Because of the recent E3 exhibition, the game news often introduces some E3 exhibitions, such as speculation about new games that may be released, introductions of some game companies, and short stories of some famous game developers.
As a fan of the game, Kazunori Yamauchi is naturally more interested in these shows.
Now the TV is playing a designer of Mars Entertainment,It is now the person in charge of Mars Entertainment's large-scale arcade frame racing games,At this E3 exhibition,Mars Entertainment will announce an arcade game of their F1 car developed in cooperation with the F1 Allianceใ
Large frames, of course.
Seeing this news, it immediately made Yamauchi Kazunori excited, you know, his favorite game type is racing games, and he has no interest in the casual racing games on the console, which is like a family, and his favorite is the large racing frames in the arcade.
Whether it's Mars Entertainment or Sega's, he likes it beyond measure.
Of course, relatively speaking, he still prefers Mars Entertainment, although Sega's frame game is a little earlier, but the initiator of this kind of game by Yamauchi Kazunori is the game of Mars Entertainment.
Kazunori Yamauchi doesn't usually pay much attention to developers and the like, so he doesn't know who the person being interviewed is, but he only knows that the interviewer is called Jefferson when he sees the TV screen on the top and gives the interviewer a name called Jefferson.
As for the full name, because there are no subtitles on TV, Kazunori Yamauchi is not very clear.
The interview has been going on for a while, and Kazunori Yamauchi is looking at it from the middle.
The interviewer asked a question like this: "You have been engaged in game development for so many years, at the beginning of the creation of Mars Entertainment, you joined it and became one of the first 100 employees, and now you have become the general manager of a large game, it can be said that you have been very successful in the industry, can you say what is the person or thing that has influenced you the most on your road to fame?" โ
The designer, Jefferson, thought for a moment, and then replied in a heartfelt tone.
Along the way, there is one thing that has always been engraved in my heart, that is, the company's founder, Jester. What Lee once said to me - remember that there are all kinds of industries in the world, and the industry you are engaged in is a dispensable thing for the world, and it is difficult to say that games are a necessity for a person's life and survival. However, in a country and society where life is rich and spiritual civilization is developed, games are very necessary. When the world develops further and people's living standards are raised to a certain height, game enthusiasts will increase globally. You have to believe that this day will come, and you have to dive into the creation of games with that passion and determination. โ
At this point, Jefferson paused, as if to take a breath of relief, before he continued.
"And the one who had the most profound influence on me was also Jester. Mr. Lee, he's the greatest game designer in the world, no, what I don't understand is why there are idiots in this world who would make this kind of game development bet with my boss, IMHO, since I saw the script that my boss prepared for that gamble from internal sources, I don't think there is any need for this gamble to go on at all, because my boss won the ......"
Kazunori Yamauchi was quietly watching the interview for this mission.
But he didn't listen to a word of the rest of the words, and his mind kept recalling what Jefferson said at the beginning.
"Remember, there are all kinds of industries in the world, and the industry you work in is a dispensable thing for the world, and it's hard to say that games are a necessity for a person's life and survival. However, in a country and society where life is rich and spiritual civilization is developed, games are very necessary......" R1152
