Chapter 178: Finding Tom Clancy's Successor
In the book "Dawn" Tom. While Clancy's novels were selling well, Jester was also looking for Tom. Clancy's successor, and he didn't want to miss out on what he remembered about Tom. Clancy's classic game script, just in case, he wants people to write these things out first, in case they want to do it later, but they don't even have the copyright.
You know, in the Hereafter, Tom. Clancy's military game script is a sign of the sales of this type of game, and Ubisoft's ability to grow up to the level of EA and Activision is one of the biggest publishers. Clancy's role in this is indispensable.
This time Jester found a special headhunting company to deal with the matter, looking for a writer who could meet his requirements to complete some of his novels that can only provide ideas and outlines, the requirements are very high, at least not too far worse than Clancy, such people are very difficult to find to be honest, Jester didn't want to be able to find it in a short time, but the efficiency of this headhunting company in the United States, especially after Jester promised a high salary, their efficiency is amazing.
In less than two weeks, Jester was offered a suitable candidate.
David. Brin.
To tell the truth, this person is actually not famous in the country in later generations, if it is not for the fans of science fiction, you may not have heard of this name, after all, the fans of science fiction in China can only be regarded as a small niche in the minority, as far as Jester knows, in the mainland in later generations, the best science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem" in the mainland has only sold 500,000 copies under the hype of various followers.
And this person Jester did hear it, not because Jester dabbled in a wide range of things, but because he once followed the trend to buy "The Three-Body Problem", and before buying it, he specifically looked for a few book reviews to read, including David. Brin's book review, many of the followers in the post that transferred this book review are veteran science fiction readers, and a large number of people have posted their opinions on this person called David. Brynn's kneeling remarks.
That's when Jester knew that the one he had never heard of was called David. Brin's people, what the hell is sacred?
There is no need to describe too much about his deeds and status, and his works do not need too much introduction, just to know that this person is the most influential science fiction writer after the science fiction triumvirate, and the science fiction triumvirate should not need too much explanation - Asimov, Heinlein and Arthur. The achievements of Clark and the three in the world of science fiction literature are almost equivalent to those of Shakespeare, Tolstoy and Victor in the literary world. Hugo.
And David. What is Brin's status, it can be imagined.
Jester looked at the information sent to him by the headhunter, they had already contacted David before. Brin, now in his thirties, is a Ph.D. in space physics and has published several well-known sci-fi short stories, which are a bit famous, of course, far inferior to Tom. Clancy, who had previously bought Dawn, felt that he was very interested in his appetite, and he was interested in fantasies about extraterrestrial life and the like, and the book "Dawn" was exactly what he wanted.
It was at this time that the headhunter was looking for Tom for Jester. Clancy's successor, and David who has watched "Dawn" is a little itchy. Brin also expressed his thoughts to the headhunters, so the two were connected.
Let's be honest, David. Brin's style, at least from Jester's most famous books that he read out of curiosity before his rebirth, is not very suitable for Clancy's successor, he is suitable for the kind of unique culture of alien creatures like Heinlein's "Starship Paratroopers", the vastness of the universe and the like, but in Jester's opinion, the classic game novels he remembers are not only Tom. Several copies of Clancy.
For example, he asked Tom before. Clancy's ghostwritten "Dawn", many of the settings in it were made by him with reference to the later "StarCraft", such as the concept of Sarnagar.
Can't write Tom. Clancy's style of military novels, can you write a novel like "StarCraft" that describes the vast universe and unique life, and the novel of "StarCraft" itself is not too good, of course, there is a reason for the limited level of the writer himself. Bryn, a giant god of science fiction, must be completely different.
The same plot is completely different from the pen of the general author under the pen of the great god, which Jester deeply feels.
So, after reading the headhunter company submitted to him about David. After Brin's information, Jester immediately had the idea of wanting to meet with the other party, and also wanted to hear his follow-up creative suggestions for "Dawn", which was also written on the information of the headhunting company. The reason Brin contacted them was that he wanted to complete the follow-up to "Dawn".
In Jester's eyes, the idea of this science fiction master is naturally worth ten thousand dollars.
However, after contacting the headhunter company, Jester got a news that made him temporarily disappointed, this science fiction master is also a consultant to NASA, he is currently involved in a NASA project, so he has not been able to meet with Jester in recent months, but David. After learning that Jester agreed to his request in principle, but still needed to meet with him, he was also very excited after making a decision, and he also gave Jester a clear message through the headhunter that he would definitely visit Costa Mesa in person after he helped NASA with this project.
Although Jester was a little depressed, he had to accept it, after all, in anyone's eyes, a NASA project is much more important than completing a sequel to a novel.
On top of that, for Jester, every day is a lot of time, dealing with a lot of things, controlling the style and direction of the entire Fire Emblem, and watching this work that he has poured all his heart into is close to completion day after day.
This game, in fact, after accommodating some of the world's best game text story designers, is a huge difference from the original one that Jester is familiar with, with a richer story line, a fleshier main storyline, and a more interesting side story, and to be honest, in Jester's eyes, this is already a completely different game - except for the name.
Information from Sega,The development team of "Cuisine の一一" will arrive in the afternoon of Tokyo time,A total of seventeen people,Led by Suzuki Yu,Originally, Jester casually asked the company to send an administrative receptionist to go.,But Jester thought about it.,Or decided to go by himself.,Essentially,It's just Suzuki Yu who leads the group, not Hayabusa Nakayama He is not inappropriate to go.,After all, the identity is not equal.,At most, Mark. It's okay for Seni to go, this is already a very grand specification, but he is a young man, a young man, he must come with his own temperament.
He went, mainly to express his gratitude to Yu Suzuki, he had already received detailed information from the team that participated in "HANG-ON" when he came back, and he also looked through the R&D log, Yu Suzuki did not hide the slightest secrets when he treated the members sent by Mars Entertainment, and the entire development process was open to them, which even caused dissatisfaction on the part of Sega, if it weren't for Hayabusa Nakayama's strong support for Yu Suzuki, it might have been under the pressure of the top management of the Sega board of directors, Yu Suzuki couldn't eat and walked away.
And according to the study team he sent, if it weren't for Suzuki's generosity in this area, they might have deliberately concealed many key points, and it would have been impossible to get the full set of experience.
In this respect, Jester personally thanked him, in his own opinion, completely in the past.
Jester called and asked about the date of the arrival of the ANA flight in Los Angeles, and then contacted the company's administrative department, asking them to prepare the reception of vehicles and accommodation, after all, the hardware research and development team before himself was arranged and responsible for the whole process by Sega, although this time before sending this development team, Hayao Nakayama called Guò to explain all the expenses that Sega would bear by himself, but Jester didn't want others to think that he was too stingy, So he also replied directly to Hayakuo Nakayama, and he would give whatever treatment his hardware team enjoyed in Japan.
More than an hour later than scheduled, the ANA flight carrying Sega's game development team was late, and Jester had already received news from the airport that it was late, and the plane encountered a very strict meteorological problem on the way, so it had to temporarily change the route, so it was delayed by more than an hour, and in this regard, ANA also apologized to the people waiting for the pick-up at the airport.
It wasn't even necessary for Jester to ask the people around him to hold up the arcade sign written in Japanese, because the group of Japanese led by Yu Suzuki was too conspicuous.
Later generations said that the current team sent abroad by the mainland is the easiest to distinguish, because they are basically uniform, basically expressionless appearance, thin body because of malnutrition, although try to avoid it, but still uncontrollable zhì peeking around the eyes and so on and so on These external characteristics, as long as it is a team with yellow skin and black hair, the eight or nine are from the mainland.
In fact, in this era, especially the team dispatched by Japanese official business, it is also extremely easy to distinguish.
They are also yellow-skinned, black-haired, and disciplined like the team from the mainland, and what distinguishes them from the mainland team may be that their clothing is obviously closer to the trend of Europe and the United States, and there will not be too many dishes on their faces, and most importantly, the current Japanese have the kind of self-confidence because of their own economic rise.
