Chapter 390: A lot of careful thinking
He Qingyan is very strange, there are no elves in the TV, but someone can cast magic, what kind of thinking is this? She asked, "Don't you just use magic?" ”
"If I don't release it, I'll lose my strength and I'll die." Xia Ci said.
He Qingyanxin said, isn't it just that, why is it so unlucky? However, she didn't say it, but took Xia Ci to the bathroom and helped the little girl undress. As for what Xia Ci said, she listened and did not comment.
Xia Ci really began to say his last words weakly. He Qingyan didn't take it to heart at all, stripped off Xia Ci's clothes, and stuffed her into the bathtub.
Then He Qingyan carried Xia Ci's clothes soaked in cold sweat, ran out and threw them in the washing machine, and sat on the sofa to read fashion magazines.
In the bathroom, Xia Ci puffed out his mouth, secretly accumulating strength, ready to use all his strength to release the magic that could make the guardian spirit return early.
……
Here in Los Angeles. Today, Celadon Technology's booth is still crowded, and Wang Bubu still accepts many interviews. He took a moment to call the airline and asked if he could change his ticket and return home early.
Wang's ticket is first-class, but as long as he can change it, even if it is an empty seat in economy class, he can take it.
The people from the airline checked, and unfortunately there were no empty seats for the time being.
"What about those who flew to Shanghai? I'll just take a car by myself when I get to Shanghai. Wang said again.
"I'm sorry, but there may not be any more space." The lady who answered the phone asked, "Otherwise, we will record your request." If there's an empty seat, I'll call you and let you know, okay? ”
"Okay." Wang said. Didn't get too hopeful.
There are very few flights between China and the United States, just a few times a week. But there are so many people who have to fly that demand exceeds supply. It is indeed unrealistic for Wang to find an empty seat in such a short period of time.
Wang can buy a new ticket for American Airlines, fly to Japan or South Korea, and then fly back to China...... It's just to return home a day or two early. Why is it so troublesome?
He just waited for pie to fall from the sky. See if there is someone who is in a hurry and can't get on the plane, he can pick up the leak. Wang Bu felt that the opportunity would not be very large. So I didn't report much hope.
It was at this time that Minister Hwang of the South Korean government brought a Japanese translator. Ran to the West End.
Minister Huang just brought an English translator. Run to find the exhibitor. Protest against a game that didn't find an American agent and shouldn't be eligible to be shown on the West End. It's not fair to other game makers.
In the office, Americans don't think much of this behavior. It has been an exhibition for so many years. I have never seen a team led by government personnel and pulled a bunch of manufacturers to participate in the exhibition. Games can be regarded as the fairest market, games that sell more if they are fun, and can't sell if they are not fun. There are manufacturers who don't use product quality to impact the market, and plan to borrow political power to make games. It's a shame.
Forget about the shame, I don't know it's ugly, but the government personnel are still chirping crookedly, and the booth of Celadon Technology is red-eyed.
An employee of the exhibition committee stepped forward and explained to Minister Huang: "Then Chinese companies can get a booth in the West District, because they have tens of millions of copies of the game they launched last year. The ability to publish games on their own is also very impressive. It's a game maker and publisher to be reckoned with. They get the right to exhibit in the West End, and as for what to exhibit, it's their own business. ”
Minister Huang didn't give up and said: "But this is not in line with tradition!" There is never a game on display in the West End that has not found an agent! ”
"Games are the realm of innovation, there is no such thing as tradition. The Chinese company did not violate any exhibition rules. The employee said.
Another employee said, "E3 is not just an American game show, it's an 'electronic entertainment expo.'" Even if it's a game that is only operated in China, it can be exhibited in any of the E3 zones. Because E3 is not only a place for games to do promotions, but also a communication event within the industry. Games that can be recognized by the market are eligible to participate in this exchange. ”
"......" Minister Huang was speechless by these Americans. I can only be ruthless in my heart, if this is in South Korea, just call a few parliamentarians and scold you directly. It's a pity that this is in the United States, and Minister Huang is powerless.
Seeing that the protest was useless, he had to think of another way and went to the West District, preparing to find the Japanese who had a disagreement with the Chinese company.
When you go to the western area, you will definitely see the booth of Celadon Technology. Minister Huang glanced at Wang Buying, and then at the Chinese who were dancing with their eyebrows. Suddenly, Minister Huang's eyes were full of unhappy expressions.
In Minister Huang's view, the Chinese company is just playing tricks.
Nowadays, the Internet is becoming more and more popular, and due to this hardware upgrade, online gaming has become a new trend. The games made by Chinese companies are just in line with this new trend. It was exhibited in the West End again, attracting people who were planning to visit the old Japanese manufacturers, so there was such a crowd! Minister Huang thinks so.
However, how can it represent an online game if it is all static drawing? Korean games are the real online games, and they are the new trends caused by this hardware upgrade!
Korean games don't have much accumulation in the first place. It was rejected by Japanese manufacturers on the console platform and could only develop on the PC platform. In terms of quality and connotation, it is difficult for stand-alone games to compete with American manufacturers, so they can only put all their chips on the opportunity of "the Internet is beginning to popularize".
No matter what you do, if you can catch up with the historical opportunity, then you can rise all boats. This is a truth that everyone knows.
Japanese manufacturers seized the historical opportunity and had a glorious period of the 80s. The Americans took advantage of the historical opportunity of the nineties and came from behind. And this time the historical opportunity should also be seized by the Koreans!
The problem is that it's not just Koreans who want to grab that rope. There are guys all over the world who are hungry for success. The Chinese seem to have relied on an online battle platform to earn more than $100 million in turnover in the past year.
Minister Huang doesn't think that connecting stand-alone games to the Internet is considered an online game. The real online game should be a work like "Paradise" and "Millennium". These titles were hugely popular in Korea itself, proving that the game mode is indeed advanced and attractive. As long as it is promoted, it will definitely become popular all over the world!
It's just that Koreans were only arranged in a small exhibition area by the exhibition party. Minister Huang can't increase the influence of Korean games at E3, but he can't let the Chinese company continue to stay at the best booth in the West End, take advantage of the high popularity of the West End, and promote that kind of connected game!
He ran to Sony's spectacular booth and found the president of Fuyuki Games. The president's eyes were red, and he stared at the booth of Celadon Technology for a day yesterday.
"I'm Hwang Kyung-sik, the head of the Korea Game Academy." Minister Huang and the president of Dongmu Games said, pointed to the booth of Celadon Technology, and opened his mouth to say: "I hope to help you regain the position that belongs to you." ”
The president was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "How to do it?" ”
The Japanese have always looked down on Koreans. But the president of Fuyuki Games has been dizzy by Wang Buying, how can there be any self-esteem and pride?
From yesterday until this morning, the president saw with his own eyes how many people that booth had attracted attention. Countless people with professional photographic cameras are taking pictures, and countless people with miniature recorders are interviewing. When these things are in the media, the influence spreads, and the effect on the improvement of a game is immeasurable!
These were supposed to be Fuyuki games!
But now? Then a row of booths of small companies is placed side by side, and when people see it, they will only marvel at "Sony has so many exclusive masterpieces this time", but no one will pay special attention to "Ninja Blood" produced by Togi Games.
When this gap is compared, the president almost wants to vomit blood.
He would have had the opportunity to get that booth, as long as he accepted the price of 50,000 a day at the original price. But he will not admit his short-sightedness, and only resents Wang Bucheng for suddenly appearing and stirring up good things.
When Minister Huang saw the appearance of the Japanese, he knew that there was a play, and hurriedly explained the set of rhetoric that he heard yesterday that "there is no agency, and it does not conform to tradition." I hope that the Japanese can talk to the people on the Sony side and put pressure on the exhibition party.
"Wouldn't it be ridiculous if that little game that didn't find an agent could be moved to the community, then the best location in the West End would just be a TV? Maybe you'll be able to reclaim that booth that was yours! Minister Huang added fuel to the fire.
"I see!" The president of Fuyuki Games gritted his teeth. If you want this person to stand up and negotiate with the exhibition party, I don't think you dare, but he has someone in Sony, and he can secretly give Wang a stumbling block!
The president thought about it and went to find Sony's deputy director in charge of developing software. After some talking, the chief decided to help.
When Fuyuki Games developed "Ninja Blood", in order to give full play to the full function of Ps2, he privately stuffed a lot of gifts to the second chief, and there was a deep entanglement of interests.
The vice president decided to help out, not only because the president promised to give him a bottle of high-priced red wine when he returned to Japan. And the deputy mayor himself thinks that it is better to support clubs like Fuyuki Games than to support others. If the scale of the Fuyuki game grows, you can also give more gifts to the second elder in the future.
The best booth is self-evident for a company. For a small new company, it may be possible to increase sales by one or two hundred thousand. Even if you don't make any money because of the high cost of paying for the booth, it will be of great help to the expansion of your reputation.
And for the deputy minister, this is also just a gesture. He is in charge of Sony's development software, and Sony is currently the world's dominant game console platform, so there are quite a few people who will sell him face.
When E3 ended the next day, the deputy chief began to connect in series, and he didn't dare to go to big factories like Namco and Capcom. But those small manufacturers in Japan, Europe and the United States can still go and find them. (To be continued......)
