Chapter 341: Temporarily Avoiding the Edge
A few days later, Jester really let his film and television company go to the lobby.
And Hans. At the end of the season, he also used a lot of his connections to get the opportunity to get the soundtrack of Bruce's movie, so this news is not a secret, but in just half a day, Jester received a message from the film and television company to him.
"Rejected "Drive for Miss Daisy", if this time Hans. At the end of the season, he really gave up this opportunity for himself, but he lost a lot, and he also owed him a favor. Jester was a little shocked after reading the news from the film and television company.
Although he owes the other party a favor, it is nothing to him, because he has the opportunity to exchange it for the other party, but the key is that Jester has really heard of this movie.
Jester is not a movie fan, he has seen not many movies, he can't say less, but all of them are very famous, if he has heard the name of a movie and is particularly impressed, then he can be sure that this movie must have a great history of origin.
And it just so happened that this film called "Driving for Miss Daisy" Jester had heard of it, not only had he heard of it, but he also knew that this movie had won an Oscar, as for what award he couldn't remember, but according to Hans. At the end of the season, it is not a lot of strange things to win the Oscar in the end.
The thought only crossed Jester's mind as soon as he saw the message, and he immediately decided to give it to Hans. A phone call at the end of the season, but he suddenly thought that the other party had promised him, and if he directly said that he didn't need his help, then it might not be good for the other party.
Therefore, Jester asked people to inquire about the specific shooting time of Bruce's movie, and he took the initiative to stagger the shooting time of the second part of the "Avengers" series. When I talked on the phone at the end of the season, I had already applied for the filming of the film and television production company owned by Mars Entertainment. Instructions were given, and he agreed to the shooting plan.
Moreover, Jester also plans to talk to someone from this film and television production company in the future, if there is any good theme or script, then don't hide it, report it directly to yourself, if it is good, then start filming, and the second part of "The Avengers" should have started filming a long time ago. Now it's been dragging on for so many years, and it really shouldn't be.
December 25th is Christmas, which is the traditional holiday of Christendom, in the previous Japan, before the Restoration, there was nothing special about this day, but since the Restoration, Japan has implemented a comprehensive de-Sinoization and comprehensive Westernization, not only the Chinese-style Spring Festival has been changed to New Year's Day. and even fully embraced Christmas.
After World War II, the actual occupation of the United States, this trend became more and more popular, and the days leading up to Christmas. It has basically become the most important shopping season of the year.
And the most important products that a company values most, if possible, will also be put on the market during this time. Because the market is the hottest during this time period, especially games, sales during these days during Christmas. It's even as good as the sales of the previous months combined.
Now "Pokemon" has been broadcast on Fuji TV for nearly a month, and the ratings are soaring, but no TV station has negotiated the second round of broadcast rights, and Fuji TV has also issued a death order, no matter how much the cost, the first broadcast rights of the second round of broadcast rights must be won.
Although Fuji TV has now fully increased its offer, and has also said that as long as Mars Entertainment is willing to agree to their conditions, then they will make up for the premiere fee that "Pokemon" should receive according to an anime of this ratings level.
This Yuxiu Yoshiro is still a little excited, after all, Mars Entertainment is a commercial company, although the two sides had an unpleasant relationship when discussing the broadcast of "Pokemon" before, but the price Fuji TV is willing to pay is not what other TV stations are willing to offer.
Because the price that these big TV stations can offer in the second round of broadcasting rights is about the same, the price that other TV stations are willing to pay, Fuji TV is naturally willing to pay, and watching the popularity of "Pokemon", their own advertising fees can be received softly.
What's more, they have already eaten the benefits of the premiere, and according to the agreement they signed with Mars Entertainment before, what they need to pay is almost nothing compared to the benefits they eat, but in this way, Mars Entertainment is definitely dissatisfied.
Therefore, this time they took the initiative to take out the part of the benefits that Mars Entertainment should get in exchange for the premiere rights of the second round, which is still very attractive in the eyes of Tamahide Yoshiro.
However, according to Jester, this matter must wait for the release of "Pokemon" to be done, and the most important thing now is to do a good job of the release of "Pokemon", which is the first time that Mars Entertainment has focused on a handheld game in the Christmas season.
In fact, there is no way to do it, originally there were a few games on Dreambox in the interior of Mars Entertainment, which wanted to be promoted during the Christmas period, but they were all vetoed by Jester without hesitation.
Because he had already received very accurate information before, this time Sega was holding back and preparing to make a comeback at Christmas, and they had prepared at least three heavyweight games for Christmas, all of which were comparable to their own games of the highest level.
Coupled with the MD, the world's first sixteen-bit home game console, far exceeds the performance of the Dreambox, for players who have played for four or five years, and have felt a little aesthetically tired for the eight-bit machine, although it is two pieces of PPU processing screen, the allure of a sixteen-bit machine is difficult to refuse.
And choosing to go with Sega at this time is obviously not a smart thing.
The MD had been on sale for a few months, and during that time, Sega hadn't held any major promotions, which was a clear sign that they were building up inventory during this time, apparently wanting to play a big game over Christmas, and Jester remembered a story about the battle of the century between Nintendo and Sega.
At the beginning, MD had just been launched in the United States, Nintendo's Super FC was still in full swing of development, and it was only possible to use FC to resist, and it was also during the Christmas period, and they also prepared several works of very good quality, and Minoru Arakawa, who was originally in charge of this, actually didn't have much expectations, his purpose was just to avoid being left behind too much as possible.
But the reality is that Sega's MD, the American version at that time was called Segagenesis, commonly known as Sega's fifth generation of game consoles, lost the armor of the FC that had been reduced to 79 US dollars during the Christmas period, and the price of Sega MD in the United States at that time was more than 220 US dollars.
Therefore, Jester concluded that it was not a good choice to go head-to-head with Sega, which was gaining momentum, at this time.
Their own sixteen-bit machine, in two months later, can be listed, in a hurry, there is no need to be anxious for such a little time, just two months, it will not have much impact on the overall situation at all, their own family is big, can withstand this impact, but Nintendo, it's hard to say.
"Nintendo has been intensively promoting several of their new games recently, one of which is a game by Shigeru Miyamoto, not a sequel, it should be a new series ......" An assistant looked at the text in his hand and respectfully reported to Hayao Nakayama about the recent feedback from the marketing department.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hayato Nakayama waving his hand, Hayakuo Nakayama frowned, and said impatiently: "I don't care about Nintendo, before their new console appears, there is no way to resist our offensive by relying only on the backward FC...... What I'm worried about is...... Mars Entertainment, they are not the same as Nintendo. ”
The assistant understood what Hayao Nakayama meant, he nodded, quickly flipped through a few pages of materials, and went directly to the page of Mars Entertainment, and then continued to say to Hayao Nakayama: "...... This time, Mars Entertainment doesn't seem to have done much to promote the games on the Dreambox, although there are also a few games on the market during Christmas, but this is not a game that is too important, and there is only one game that belongs to the studio of Mars Entertainment. ”
"And according to the publicity indicators given by Mars Entertainment for different game levels before, these games are not particularly valued by Mars Entertainment, but are only used to fill the game type and number of games, but they have concentrated almost all of their promotion efforts and are promoting "Thor's Hammer" and "Pokemon".
After listening to this, Hayabusa Nakayama pursed his lips tightly, he was also reminiscing about Mars Entertainment and Jester during this time. Lee's news and news finally came to the conclusion that Mars Entertainment may have pulled all of their strongest development forces to make their new sixteen-bit console games, and for Dreambox, they may be squeezing the last remaining value.
And what is certain is that when you wait for three months, or no more than four months at the latest, when Mars Entertainment's new console is launched, it will inevitably usher in a concentrated blowout of a masterpiece.
Because the news he heard most often showed that some time ago, several studios of Mars Entertainment in Japan were in full swing in the development of games, and the games of these studios were eligible to be promoted as the main games during the Christmas period.
"The success of 'Quake' in Europe and the United States has made it inevitable that Jester will push it over the Christmas period, and 'Pokemon' is ...... with their gamebog handhelds"
Hayao Nakayama remembered what Yu Suzuki had said to him before, and the look on his face became cloudy. (To be continued......)
