Chapter 085: Hisaishi Jean and Kitaro (Two More Requests for Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)

If you do something wrong, someone has to be responsible!

As the president of Nintendo's North American division, Minoru Arakawa must be responsible for the vicious consequences of losing Contra, and the GameBoy sales are not good, obviously because the butterfly effect is innocently implicated, and the chief designer Yokoi Gunpei also has to take responsibility.

"President! It's my poor sales and misjudgment, and I'm willing to be punished! "Yokoi Junhei gritted his teeth, he couldn't hide, he could only resign himself to fate, admit punishment!

"Baga!" Yamauchi Ura raised his hand, but for this most loyal subordinate, he couldn't do it for a long time, he could beat his son-in-law Minoru Arakawa, but he couldn't beat Yokoi Gunpei!

The internal fire is not vented, and it is easy to hold back internal injuries.

Yamauchiura only felt that the fire was surging, and his head was congested for a long time, and it was about to burst.

"Keep investigating for me! I want to see where EA got the courage to betray us! Yamauchiura vented angrily: "Anyone who stands in the way of our Nintendo will only end up bankrupt!" ”

Unbeknownst to Yamauchiura, the guy who stood in front of Nintendo to block the way, was having a carnival party in Kyoto, hugging Chinese friends from afar, and toasting to celebrate the rare victory in the local war!

It is impossible for him to bankrupt Sega, not in real history, and now with Yang Yun's help, he can't.

……

……

The day after the New Year, Yang Yun attended the signing press conference held by Sega.

Everything went so smoothly, statements were read, paperwork was exchanged. Signed, sealed. Shake hands and take a group photo.

When it came to the reporter's question session, there was a little episode.

The media raised their hands. Hayao Nakayama deliberately selected reporters from NHK, Japan's largest radio and television station with unrivaled influence.

The reporter asked Yang Yun directly: "Is Longteng going to develop mainly in Japan in the future?" Does your company represent the highest level of game design in China? Are you planning to relocate your headquarters to Kyoto? ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "China's game industry has just started, but it is thriving and has unlimited potential, our Longteng is temporarily in the leading position, but it does not represent the highest level of design in China, China also has a large number of excellent computer talents." We didn't plan to move out of the capital, and we and Sega focused on developing games for the Japanese, European and American markets. ”

The answer is decent. By the way, Yang Yun can only help here, if Long Teng doesn't dare to claim to be the highest in China, then who else dares to say that the game is better?

The reporter followed closely: "I heard that your company is developing a Three Kingdoms game, and it is led by Japanese designers, does your company agree more with Japan's Three Kingdoms game model?" ”

Nima's, which bastard leaked the secret...... But it doesn't seem to be able to hide anyone, Yang Yun's several big actions can be found by anyone who has a heart. But how do you answer the question?

Answer yes, the Chinese don't do it, this is self-destruction, answer disagree. This is talking nonsense with your eyes open, obviously led by Japanese designers, and basically follows Namco's Three Kingdoms game framework!

Yang Yun couldn't explain to both sides. He uses the best of the Japanese game framework, which is the best business architecture, and the content is infused with carefully designed and modified Chinese elements. It's just to take an empty Japanese bottle of pure Chinese Moutai.

The explanation is to cover up, and the more you smear it, the darker it becomes! The media doesn't care. They will only induce the reader to make up for it on their own, and cause disputes between the two sides to increase attention.

Yang Yun had a headache, and glanced at Hayakuo Nakayama, the old man immediately helped to solve the siege, and avoided answering: "The Dragon Three Kingdoms game will be released on the Sega platform, mainly for the Japanese and American markets, and everyone will see a Three Kingdoms game with a Dragon Teng style!" ”

The reporter did not give up, and asked with a little sarcasm: "I heard that Longteng Company has made a series of big moves, and cooperates with China Central Television to prepare to repackage and promote the 'orthodox' Three Kingdoms culture around the world?" ”

I bought a watch last year!

Yang Yun scolded secretly in his heart, this NHK TV station has also been advocating the Three Kingdoms style all these years, and these problems are determined to sow discord and create controversial topics!

Even if it is to promote the culture of the Three Kingdoms, there is no orthodoxy or unorthodoxy, NHK is obviously deliberately misleading and deliberately causing contradictions!

As the host, Zhongshan Hayabusa, of course, would not make Yang Yun too embarrassed, and blocked it with a smile: "The Three Kingdoms game is not within the scope of today's discussion, please forgive me." Next! ”

The press conference ended as smoothly as possible under the control of the organizers, and NHK TV did not chase after it, but it was clear that almost all other Japanese media, except for NHK and a few media, had no prejudice against Longteng.

After all, Japan's domestic political circles are now courting China, and during the sensitive period when the capitalist powers blockaded China, they were the first to lift the restrictions on the free movement of Chinese and Japanese personnel, and sent delegations from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture to visit China.

Back at the hotel, Yang Yun called Zhao Yongping and asked, "How are the things I gave you doing?" How many great game designers would like to join us? ”

Matsumoto Yoshino said, "There were a few small companies asking us if we could set up a branch in Japan, and there weren't many people who were really willing to go to China, but they all said that it would be more effective for you to persuade us to do some projects. ”

Yang Yun knows in his heart that for these excellent Japanese designers, China is a barren land, and it is good to go to China?

At the beginning, Inoue Yoshio and Matsumoto Yoshino were willing to go to China, firstly, because their original company went bankrupt and closed, secondly, they were coerced and lured by Sega and Yang Yun, and thirdly, they fell in love with China's simple living environment and prepared to settle in China.

Forcibly poaching people does not work, excellent designers can only say that they can not be found, Yang Yun figured this out, and felt that it was necessary to establish a branch in Japan, so that it is much more convenient to poach people, communicate and cooperate.

Yang Yun nodded and said, "Matsumoto, this year I want to find an appropriate time to establish an R&D center in Japan. At that time, you and Inoue Yanxiong will also have the opportunity to return to China to work. ”

Matsumoto Yoshino, of course, was overjoyed, and he was also not married. It's worse than Inoue Yanxiong, and he didn't even find a girlfriend. I was going to find a girlfriend in China and start a family, but it would be the best if I could go back to Japan.

Yang Yun finally put the establishment of the Japanese branch on the agenda, firstly, because the excellent programmers he just mentioned are difficult to find, and secondly, because when he listened to Hayabusa Nakayama's introduction to the organizational structure of Sega, he realized that Longteng Company lacked a heavyweight Wave production department, and all the game soundtracks, Longteng is still making do with it!

Tetris, circus, these are shijie songs. The team voice engineer of Brother Cheng Long used by the dragon warriors, the death squad is even more exaggerated, and the Hollywood war movie soundtrack is directly found, not to mention Contra, Sega took over the sound effects production, and Sega originally had a Wave-Master department that has always existed, tailoring the soundtracks for all games for Sega.

After Yang Yun realized this, the first thing that came to his mind was Kitaro and Hisaishi Jean mentioned by Matsumoto Yoshino, and it should be impossible to persuade them to leave Japan and go to China. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a branch!

"It's New Year, there should be a New Year's concert, right? Matsumoto, can you help find Kitaro and Hisaishi's performances? I should visit them! ”

Yang Yun said with a smile. Such an international master of original music cannot be found in China with a lantern, he must win!

……

……

Kitaro was born in 1953. Hisaishi was born in 1950, and both are now under 40 years old. Just in the prime of life.

However, Kitaro still seems to be angry, cruising in the band. Playing electronic music, doing Oriental NewAge, and not even knowing staves, Hisaishi is a rigorous academic, with an enviable job, an admirable status, and numerous awards.

Japanese New Year, the most important holiday, Kitaro returns from the United States, Hisaishi Jean is also quietly with his family, and Matsumoto Yoshino has been able to contact the two music masters through his friends in Japan.

Yang Yun decided to visit Hisaishi Jean first, because he is more well-known by Chinese, and his anime soundtracks such as "Castle in the Sky", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Spirited Away", "Kikujiro's Summer" and other anime soundtracks have been sought after by countless Chinese and vied to emulate, especially the song Sky Castle that Chinese young people must play when learning guitar, making the perfect combination of Hisaishi Jean and Miyazaki Hayao become an indelible classic in people's hearts.

Yang Yun still couldn't let go, and felt embarrassed to disturb others at someone's house in the New Year: "Mr. Hisaishi Jean, I really like your music works, I wonder if you can ask you to make a few game soundtracks for our company?" ”

Hisaishi touched his head, and now he still has a flowing bias, but he can already see signs of bareness, and said: "I mainly make anime music for director Hayao Miyazaki, and occasionally make soundtracks for movies, but for game soundtracks, I have never done it before." ”

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Anime and games are not separated, compared to the game soundtrack is a little simpler, the current game does not have much CG scenes, more in the form of a loop single situation, we can slowly get in touch, and so on after the development of computer hardware, not only video games and large arcades, personal computer game programs will also need a lot of classic soundtracks." ”

Hisaishi did not refuse this proposal, for him, now the position of music director of Ghibli is very easy, at this stage Studio Ghibli is working in a project situation, Miyazaki Hayao receives the work project, will make an appointment with long-term cooperation of artists and musicians to be busy, and when the project is completed, everyone disbands, and then according to the box office income of anime and movies to divide the money, usually most of the time, it is easy and unconstrained, so these musicians and artists can do something else at will, make some extra money.

The two sides negotiated happily, exchanged contact information, and Yang Yun took someone to leave.

Zhao Yongping asked: "Mr. Yang, don't you try to recruit him to our company?" According to Matsumoto, the lives of these musicians are very difficult, and if the box office is not guaranteed, I am afraid that they will not even be able to pay their basic salary, and their income will be very unstable. ”

Yang Yun waved his hand, he knew that Hayao Miyazaki and Hisaishi had made this pair of ace combinations, one was the best director of Japanese anime, and the other was the best music partner of the best director, how could they be reduced to the point of making ends meet?

The most important thing is that Yang Yun thought of a possibility, if he forcibly brought Hisaishi back to the Chinese headquarters, or sent it to an American company, and forcibly took the real historical gem as his own, I don't know if it will change the gem and become a worthless stone.

Think about it, let Hisaishi come to China, a country with a bad music environment, to create, will Hisaishi let him wash his face with tears all day long, be collapsed by red songs, and instead create a widely circulated and popular square dance divine comedy?

It's better to let him stay in Japan, and when he needs game production, Yang Yun will come to the door again.

As for Kitaro, this person is different, he has been working in the United States all the year round, often searching for inspiration in Eurasian countries alone, and has a special affection for China, creating the "Silk Road" with Chinese elements, and has won many international awards.

Kitaro has been working with bands for a long time, especially in electronic music and effects simulation, and it stands to reason that he is the best choice for Yang Yun's game soundtrack.

So Yang Yun put his hope on him, but he didn't expect that this trip to Kitaro's visit would allow him to meet a legendary band that he regretted for many years, regretted for many years, and obsessed with for many years!

It's worth the trip! (To be continued......)
