Chapter 843: Invitation
With this curiosity, Li Kewen dialed the phone number left by Mars Entertainment.
Originally, he was still a little apprehensive, he wondered if he cracked the GAMEBOY and wrote a simulation program, the reason for which he was going to be found by Mars Entertainment, but he also had his own reasons, the reason why he went to crack it was because of a strange argument he saw on a foreign simulator forum, there was a cracker who said that people in other countries are not technical, and can only use their simulators.
So at that time, Li Kewen was a little unconvinced, and tried to make a new GB simulator by himself, but he didn't expect to do it even better.
Moreover, Li Kewen did not rely on this to make a profit, he just cracked it and shared it on the Internet, he felt that the spirit of the Internet is the spirit of sharing, of course, he did not support pirated software, as a person who aspires to become a glorious programmer, he cannot be a supporter of piracy - including the console games he plays, they are all bought with the money he has saved money.
His phone dialed in less than a few seconds before the other end was connected.
"I'm Li Kewen."
Li Kewen had just finished blowing himself up, and a very excited voice came from the other end of the phone-"Ah...... Are you Mr. Li Kewen? I'm Zhang ...... from Mars Entertainment."
In short, there was a lot of boring polite words, the staff of Mars Entertainment surnamed Zhang may have just graduated, and they are not too proficient in speaking, stumbling, and after waiting for two minutes, after changing the voice of a middle-aged man, Li Kewen understood the meaning of the other party's call.
And what surprised him the most was that this new middle-aged man turned out to be a designer of Mars Entertainment that he liked very much, Fu Zhan.
"I'll call you Xiao Li, I've heard your name for a long time. The new version of the GB emulator is really good, a thing with a lot of ideas...... "Fu Zan first talked to Li Kewen about his simulator like a family routine, but this feeling of being talked about by the person concerned in front of you and you cracking his things, even Li Kewen is a little embarrassed."
"That...... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to......"
Although Li Kewen did crack it on purpose, but in front of others. And it's his favorite designer, and of course he has to say: "...... I'll call you Brother Fu, I like your games very much, especially "Sword Sealed Demon Record", really, really not inferior to the international level! ”
Fu Zan was naturally modest and said a few words.
Then he talked about the key to calling Li Kewen this time: "Xiao Li, this time I gave you this call because we want to invite you to visit our company, and. There's a big guy in our company who wants to meet you and talk to you about something, and he's very optimistic about your talent and thinks you're going to be a really great designer one day. ”
Fu Zhan's somewhat abrupt words made Li Kewen a little confused.
Because it was so sudden.
Basically, there was no warning, Fu Zan suddenly issued this invitation to Li Kewen, which made Li Kewen surprised, excited, and a little overwhelmed.
He immediately thought about Fu Zhan's words carefully. I just figured it out that it might be a high-level executive of Mars Entertainment. What interest did you get to his simulator and want to meet him? However, Fu Zan is the highest level of Mars Entertainment in China, so who is Fu Zhan's higher-level management? He thought that the earliest console simulator was actually done by Mars Entertainment.
However, it is just a demonstration work, and Yuji Naka used the first generation of the Dreambox to simulate Nintendo's FC to prove that the function of the Dreambox is completely ahead of Nintendo's FC.
Of course, such a thing is not possible to go on sale.
Although Nintendo sued Mars Entertainment for this matter. But because Mars Entertainment didn't launch this thing, it just did a demonstration and didn't make a profit, so the lawsuit was over.
Because of the relationship with this allusion. So Li Kewen instantly thought of whether Yuji Nakatsu wanted to meet him.
However, he soon dismissed the idea, because Yuji Naka, who was far away in Japan, must be working on some big project right now, and he would not have the time to meet him - but other than that, he really couldn't think of anyone else who wanted to meet him, although he made a very good simulator, even on foreign simulator forums.
However, this is only a small circle of their simulators.
His fame is limited to that.
"It's Jester. Plum. ”
Without Li Kewen asking, Fu Zan took the initiative to say the name of the senior management of the company who wanted to meet Li Kewen, and Li Kewen heard this name in his own cranky thoughts and guesses, and even at the moment when Fu Zan said the name, he thought he had auditory hallucinations. Of course he knows what kind of character Lee is.
But he would not have thought that such a character would have heard of his name, and even be able to become interested in such a small and unsmall character as himself, and he would like to meet him.
"You say ......"
Therefore, Li Kewen naturally asked again involuntarily.
"You heard me right, this time it was Jester who called me from the United States, and he said that he wanted to meet with you, and that he was very optimistic about your development in this industry......
"But I haven't made any games, just an emulator?"
Fu Zhan's words still couldn't dispel Li Kewen's doubts.
In desperation, Fu Zan also said: "In this way, if you have time, you can go to our company headquarters, you should know the address, it is in the imperial capital......
After chatting casually for a few more words, Li Kewen hung up the phone, and his mother looked at him with a worried look on his face, so she asked a few words, but because Li Kewen now has some mess in his head, he just shook his head and didn't answer, just said that there was nothing wrong.
Jester wants to see me?
Now Li Kewen's mind is full of this idea, no matter what, he can't expel this thought from his mind, before receiving this call from Fu Zhan, Li Kewen feels that such a thing will not happen at all - after all, what kind of character is Jester. The world's top richest people are not only the youth leaders of North American youth, but also the top ten youth leaders voted by domestic youth.
The second place is Bill Gates.
On top of that, as a gamer, it's impossible not to like Jester. Plum. Because almost all game genres have a lot to do with the name.
If you want to say who Li Kewen wants to meet with in Mars Entertainment the most, Jester may not be ranked first, but it is definitely the top three, of course, the first place must be John. Carmack, as a programmer, naturally admires the legendary god of programmers.
And, for the kind of free spirit of the Carmack. It is also very attractive to many programmers, or these self-confessed geeks.
Although many things were not discussed in detail on the previous phone call, this matter should not be fake, because the phone was dialed by him, and the number was indeed the phone number of Mars Entertainment Z Country Branch that he knew, and he also knew Fu Zhan's voice. At a previous player gathering, he had heard Fu Zan talk about how he got into Mars Entertainment.
It was even said that it was when Jester came to China to do things. Take the initiative to consult with him.
When Fu Zan said this, there was always a slowly proud look on his face, of course, for Li Kewen, he was also extremely eager for such a scene - it would be great if he could be met in person by Jester, a legendary figure in the game industry, and he was not required to be able to let himself go to Mars Entertainment to work. Even if you meet each other, you can blow it in your group of friends for a long time.
Li Kewen suddenly thought of this, he didn't know what his expressions would be if he told his friends that he was going to meet Jester and even have a chance to have dinner.
Maybe they'll call themselves bragging, right?
But who cares.
Because of Fu Zhan's phone call, Li Kewen is not in the mood to play the "Monster Hunter" he just got now. Although he wanted to cool off first without eating when he got home, but unfortunately, because of Fu Zhan's call, Li Kewen's mood was completely led to other places, making him completely in no mood to play games now.
What he wants to do most now is share his fun with his friends.
In fact, in this era, console gamers like him are relatively rare, because the price of consoles and games is very high in this era, when a person's salary is only a few hundred yuan, few families are willing to buy their children a game console that can only play games for a few thousand yuan.
At this time, social software is far less developed than in the future.
Generally, netizens are connected through forums, and several of Li Kewen's friends met on a simulator forum in China, and they are all people who really like games, so the chat is relatively open.
When Li Kewen told his friends that Jester was going to come to China after a while, and Fu Zan called him personally just now and said that Jester wanted to meet him, as Jester had expected, several of his friends really said that he was bragging, and no matter how Li Kewen explained, they wouldn't believe it at all.
Because it's impossible.
However, he has a friend with the screen name SARA who said that he was on the official forum of Mars Entertainment during this time, but he saw that Jester did say that he was going to go to country Z to deal with some things during this time, and when he came back, he would devote himself to game development.
These friends who saw him didn't believe it, and Li Kewen had no choice.
I had to say this: "Do they have an imperial capital, if you have time tomorrow, you can go to the domestic headquarters of Mars Entertainment with him, Fu Zan said let me visit!" ”
Hearing Li Kewen say this, his friends no longer felt that this was their friend joking, so his tone became serious: "Kevin, what you said is true?" Jester really wants to meet you? ”
Although it was through the text, Li Kewen could still see from this passage that his friend was surprised when he typed out this text.
"What Fu Zan said on the phone just now, he said that I can visit him when I have time, and said that Jester wants to meet me when he comes to China in a few days...... It's because of this that I'm not in the mood to play games now.,You know,I just went to Brother Ma this afternoon to get "Monster Hunter", and I'm ready to cool it.,I watched him play at Brother Ma for a while.,I think what's particularly new is that the monster doesn't have a health bar display.,It's very exciting to play...... But when I got home, I wasn't in the mood to play because of the phone call. ”
Speaking of the game "Monster Hunter", Li Kewen's friends can be regarded as opening the conversation.
"I'm rubbing, Kevin, you've got Monster Hunter, the big city is good, our store owner said it won't arrive until the end of the month!"
This is enviable.
"Hehe, I played it last week, and it happened that my brother came back from the United States and brought it to me, I told you that this game is amazing, and my brother said, the domestic network is not good, if you play it in the United States, joint hunting is more fun, and it can even be said that it is not a game!"
It's ostentatious.
"I don't know if I can connect to the Internet in China, is it really not possible to connect to the Internet? I've succeeded once in a few times before, and I have teamed up with foreigners, which is indeed at least ten times more interesting than a person, but the number of times I have connected is too small......"
This is whining.
Li Kewen saw that everyone was discussing the game, and no one heard him say that he was going to meet Jester, and he suddenly felt a little bored.
So, he said that he went offline to play the game, and then quit the forum.
But as soon as he wanted to turn off the computer, he saw a private message from someone in his forum, it was SARA, he said that if he could, could he visit the headquarters of Mars Entertainment with Li Kewen, he especially wanted to meet Fu Zhan, because Fu Zhan was his idol.
Li Kewen was very happy that someone believed what he said just now, and he said what time he would meet tomorrow.
And SARA also means yes.
WHEN HE HEARD THAT LI KEWEN HAD JUST FINISHED THE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION, SARA ALSO EXPRESSED HIS SURPRISE, HE NEVER THOUGHT THAT A PERSON WHO COULD MAKE SUCH A GOOD SIMULATOR ALONE WOULD BE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT!
However, Li Kewen said that it was just impulse at that time, and he didn't actually have any specific ideas before doing it.
Half of it may be thanks to luck. (To be continued.) )
