Chapter 322: Fraud Hunter

Although "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko" is just a feature film like "A Liter of Tears" and "Ju Ri", which Zhou Xiao participated in before, this film is very different from the previous two in terms of post-production.

The post-production zuò of the first two works is basically just dubbing, soundtrack, editing, subtitles before and after the film, etc., but when it comes to the work "The Life of the Disgusted Matsuko", the post-production zuò has another job that needs to be done a lot.

That's all sorts of netbsp; The special effects of this work,Most of them are used to create a sense of fantasy and brightness in the film,The difficulty of these CGs is not high,But they are used a lot in the film,For example, the grass of some shots will look particularly green,The sky is particularly blue,Cherry blossoms are particularly pink,These in addition to the use of lighting,CG special effects are also indispensable,It is said that ten years later,There is a special camera mode that can shoot similar effects,But at least now,There is no such special effect as zài。

CG special effects are very fast, O4 and O6 are not a little different, so when Zhou Xiao took the master tape and his own requirements to find the CG system, the price proposed by the other party was really not small, Zhou Xiao did not find a foreign European and American CG company, because it is relatively simple, even a domestic company can make something that meets the needs of the movie.

Zhou Xiao was not going to do a blockbuster with a big investment and a big return, and the game department of AZX was only doing "Lost Necraft" with a very poor picture, so he has not studied CG and CG companies for a long time**, and this cooperation is just a commercial cooperation.

Speaking of "Fan Necraft", this should be the most amazing hand of AZX and Zhou Xiao during this time.

Since last year, MC's sales have been rising on a very steady curve, and the most exciting thing for other companies is that this upward curve seems to show no signs of flattening. Two million, three million, four million, every once in a while, the number of people buying MC will break through a level.

Whether it is in Japan or in Europe and the United States, the real makers are not stupid, and they may underestimate this game at first because of the MC's graphics and almost no plot gameplay, but when everyone now has been climbing the sales of this game and begins to face up to this game, most practitioners can also easily see the excellence of this game.

Wild ideas. The connotation of freedom can almost contain a qiē, and the magic of these two things in the game greatly exceeds everyone's expectations.

As a result, many game companies began to sit still, and they came to AZX one after another, asking if AZX had any plans to sell the game, or even sell its own network department......

Among the vendors who asked AZX, companies such as EA in Europe and the United States, Microsoft NCSotch and others expressed great interest, in fact. This game is indeed more in line with the taste of Europeans and Americans, and there are many Japanese who are used to playing Japanese-style RPGs who like this game, but it is relatively weaker than that of Europe and the United States.

However, this does not mean that Japanese game manufacturers are not interested in this game, in fact, they are more interested than European and American manufacturers.

These Japanese manufacturers know AZX well. It is very clear that the main business of this company is in the entertainment industry, and MC is such a Rausch sub-game, but it is just something that Zhou Xiao, who is turning rivers and seas in the entertainment industry, came up with on a whim, and thought of it for such a product of Zhou Xiao's whimsical idea. If your own company wants to buy it for tens of billions of dollars, it may not be able to buy it, and the major game companies hate it so much, but no matter how much you hate. Game companies still have to bite the bullet and buy it, who made this game have such crazy magic.

Among these big manufacturers, Square Enix, Capcom, Sony and so on are still relatively normal companies, and even Nintendo has come to inquire and ask if AZX has any interest in selling the company's game department or games.

Nintendo is a relatively focused on all kinds of small games,Puzzle game company,The company's game sales are very high,MC This game is still more suitable for Nintendo's style,AZX also thinks,If this game can be sold to Nintendo,It must be a very perfect result。

But Zhou Xiao is not a fool, the MC game can sell for more than 2.5 billion US dollars in the future, even if his company's MC appears many years in advance, and when he sells it, he can't sell it at that price, one billion dollars is always a figure to look forward to, right?

In addition to buying AZX, various investment intentions have also followed, originally for various investors in Japan, AZX is such a media company has nothing to invest in, because they are not short of money, AZX is the most worthy of investment, only Zhou Xiao's movie, if Zhou Xiao is interested in investing in big movies, I believe there will be a large number of investors with billions of yen of investment, for the current Japanese entertainment industry, even if Zhou Xiao is a graduate who has just graduated from film school, he does not want to watch garbage, There will also be a lot of people walking into the cinema.

As for the AZX itself...... The few artists signed are good, but the degree of signing artists is too slow, what does it mean to have such a few groups of artists now? It means that AZX itself is actually an enterprising company, and there is no common wolf nature that has the potential to become a large company, and it will not be like Denis, Ai Hui and other companies that have the determination to tear up a qiē opponent on the way forward of the company, in short, this company is just a conservative and difficult to make progress in other aspects except for Zhou Xiao's genius, investing in such a company, investors may suspect that the company does not know where to use the money.

But I didn't expect that AZX suddenly started making games, everything related to the Internet, and games, that is the area that investors are most interested in, and almost every moment in this field is giving birth to genius whimsical ideas, as long as you invest in these things, it is likely to be ten times the return in the future.

Originally, there would not be any investors who are optimistic about the future of AZX to make games, but when this game is really launched, no one will think so, this is clearly a game with unparalleled potential, quickly ask me, ask this company if there are any other plans!

Plans for other games? This plan ...... Originally, there were, but the key problem is that AZX doesn't necessarily want to invest.

It's good to have an investment, but the investor is not a fool. We invest in you to make games for you, if you use it to do the entertainment industry, then the other party will refuse without saying a word, just kidding, since the bubble burst in the early 9o, Japan has experienced so many years of painful decline, and the entertainment industry is not as good as day by day, even if Zhou Xiao you are good at everything, can you fight the overall situation?

For Zhou Xiao, if you invest in my entertainment industry. I might still be a little interested, but the game? Zhou Xiao thought very clearly, in addition to MC, even if AZX makes games in the future, it will only be a variety of small games, and it will definitely not touch large games, only large games will require a large amount of investment to bear a large number of group members, what about our small games...... Not for at least five or six years.

As for the sales of MC...... By the middle of 2oo4, the combined sales of MC's various platforms had approached the 10 million mark. Among them, the PC field has a slight upper hand because of the early launch and the PS2 field is also trying its best to catch up.,These two fields have their own advantages.,PC field,15M or so ontology。 Even with a lot of other stuff, it's very easy to download, and there will be all kinds of real-time update support, and the advantage of PS2 is that it can be used on home consoles. Playing on your own TV is the main way for Japanese players to play, just by relying on a game. It's impossible to change.

In addition to playing games,The culture of this game is also the top priority of Zhou Xiao's benefitAZX operation,The management of game culture makes this game from the beginning of its birth reflects a considerable attraction to users,From the current user logon to the 6 forum,Online to the official server of AZX for the flow of people to play the game and various players out of the skin and architecture,The reason why this game has a growing number of users,One of the reasons is that the old users will hardly decrease,It can be said,Although MC is a game with no plot at all, But the playability of 1o out of 1o still shows that you can really play this game for a long, long time.

Even if the MC makes more money, it is just an episode, Zhou Xiao knows very well that he actually only happens to know this game to make it, and of course his attention is still in the entertainment industry.

In the first half of 2oo4, when Zhou Xiao was crazy about filming, there was also a TV series with Zhou Xiao's script released, that is, "Fraud Hunter", which continued to be released on Japanese TV.

The original comic of the fraud hunter was supposed to be serialized in the magazine at the end of 2oo3, and in order to be able to take out this work in advance, Zhou Xiao handed over the script to Janis in the middle of 2oo3, and at the same time, he also found a writer and changed the work into a novel.

This does not describe the fact that the fraudster is actually a liar's deception, and the response is good, and it is said that it has also entered the candidates for some novel awards at the end of the year, but he has not won any awards, and Zhou Xiao has not paid attention to it.

As for the filming of the TV series of this work, it is still invested and led by AZX and Genesys, and the starring role, because Maki Horikita can't star, so I have to find another actor.

Who to look for? An actress in her early 2O years old in 2oo4, Zhou Xiao originally belonged to Rina Xiang, this girl is not only very beautiful but also has an aura, but as soon as I got to know him, I remembered that the current Rina is not an actor but a model, since 2ooo years, she has been the exclusive model of the magazine "Ray", although she has now also starred in some roles in movies and TV series, but this girl can only appear after an audition, this girl may be able to grow quite well in a few years, but at least now, With her acting skills, she can't play the leading role, and even Azx's Kohori Kita, who is not known for her acting skills, is better than the current Karina's acting skills.

In addition to Karina, Zhou Xiao also found an actress with a suitable grade who was Chiaki Kuriyama.

It has been nine years since Chiaki Kuriyama, who is also about to turn 2o years old this year, debuted, from movies to TV series to photo albums, this one has no less contact, but he also called an audition, and Zhou Xiao is now unable to appear in Chiaki Kuriyama.

Because in the drama "Fraud Hunter", the heroine is a silly big sister image who is a little silly and has a righteous aura, and Kobori Kita Maki can play because she looks too innocent with her beautiful face in Chinese, and what about Chiaki Kuriyama? This year is 2oo4 years,The very famous photographer Sasayama Kishinobu published a photo album with her as the protagonist called "Digi + Gi Kuriyama Chiaki", this photo album fully expresses Kuriyama Chiaki's sharp knife-like eyes and temperament, and is really a mysterious girl full of charm.

is such a sharp girl, and it is good to play a supporting actress in a TV series. But if it's a heroine, her temperament is very inappropriate.

Zhou Xiao and the director found by Denis had no choice but to find another person, and soon, Zhou Xiao finally determined the goal.

The target girl was born in 1985, and at the age of barely 19, it's actually a bit inappropriate to play this role, but this girl's appearance also belongs to the coquettish category, so playing the original role of Maki Horikita, there should be no other problems except that she may be slightly inferior in appearance now.

This man's name is ...... Haruka Ayase.

Haruka Ayase, known as Haruka with big, has a plump upper circumference. She looks beautiful when she matures, but this girl in her early 2O years old is indeed not the kind of messy person who is born beautiful.

Although the appearance is not the best, it is enough to act in this drama, the evaluation of this drama is actually not very high, at least it is not as good as Tomohisa Yamashita's other works, so even if the protagonist is not Horikita, Zhou Xiao is allowed, after all, Kohorikita is going to play the most important movie "Eternal Sunset of the Three Chomes".

Of course. One thing that Zhou Xiao will never admit is that it is too suitable for Tomohisa Yamashita to stand with Maki Horikita, a pair of on-screen couples known as "Yamapi", so suitable that Cheng Dù, who makes him a little jealous, so he simply doesn't play for them!

Although the content of the work and the actual shooting quality are very average. But the world's expectations for this drama are not low, on the one hand, this drama is another work of Zhou Xiao, on the other hand, Yamashita Tomohisa himself is also a golden sign in the Japanese drama circle during this time.

This little brother is so handsome. Handsome Japan is dizzy from young girls to Obasan, and last year's "Wild Boar Makeover" was crazy in popularity, not only with high ratings. even sold a million singles, and the TV series starring this person, even if it is not Zhou Xiao's script, can reach 14% or 15% of the ratings, and his appeal is extraordinary, and his appearance is a big news in itself.

Haruka Ayase, Tomohisa Yamashita, plus Chiaki Kuriyama, although the main characters have changed a lot, but the ratings of this show are still quite good, the ratings of 2o.2% of the episodes are very beautiful, although the plot began to decline, and never got more than 2o% ratings, but the final average rating of 17.5% still makes this work another classic, and Yamashita Tomohisa has also advanced several years and has become the new star with the most potential and appeal in the Japanese drama circle.

I'm afraid his status won't change hands until a few years later, when the late-blooming Ninomiya Kazuya hones his acting skills, and he gradually declines.

Yamashita Tomohisa is not a fool, his current qiē, in addition to his own efforts and Jennis's support, Zhou Xiao's hand-picking is also one of the reasons, there are many young idols in Jennis, Zhou Xiao chose no one but chose him in his opinion It is a kind of luck and an opportunity, since it is an opportunity, he must desperately seize it, Zhou Xiao is such a high-level artist who is almost unmatched now, no matter how much he is flattered, it is not too much.

Therefore, although Yamashita Tomohisa is only two or three years younger than Zhou Xiao, every time he sees Zhou Xiao, he bows ninety degrees, and his extremely sincere and affectionate title makes the two of them look not like peers, but a bit like juniors and elders.

In the face of Tomohisa Yamashita's politeness that seems to be too flattering to himself, Zhou Xiao will not treat him badly while maintaining his majesty, after all, he will need to appear in many dramas in the future.

In addition to Maki Horikita, Zhou Xiao was more worried about Yui Aragaki, another main actress of AZX, he didn't expect that Yui Aragaki in the later generations, who was beautiful and unparalleled in terms of pure image and was at the top of the so-called four pillars, would be so immature at the age of 16 in 2oo4......

Compared with Maki Horikita, Erika Toda and Masami Nagasawa, Yui Aragaki did not show too many excellent things in terms of acting skills and personality after entering AZX, although she was pure in appearance, she was not as beautiful as Cheng Dù ten years later, which also made Zhou Xiao finally understand why the first three had a good career in O2 and O3, at least playing some supporting roles, but she was not able to receive some roles until O5 years later.

Moreover, the immature little girl company can't say anything, because fifteen or sixteen years old is when a person's rebellious psychology is very strict, and it is not easy to deal with the little girl who may make trouble if she says it a little harder, which is different from the situation of AKB in later generations, AKB is a huge idol group, there are many, many intrigues within the group, there are many people behind you waiting for you to fall down and step on your upper position, from such a group, to the top, Which one doesn't have unparalleled competition and tenacity, compared with acting skills and talent, the so-called idol, in fact, talent and ability in this area are more important, and being scolded for two sentences is nothing at all.
