"If you were in Raccoon City, facing an increasing number of mutated zombies, how would you react to the deteriorating living environment? How will you deal with the friend who was in trouble yesterday and shows his fangs to you today, and the cute and strong little boy who survived the neighbor's house the day before yesterday and walks over with his mutated arm to you today? Write the story in your heart, the era of "Resident Evil" can be created by you personally! ”

Longteng's essay advertisements are published in a number of newspapers and media, and the choice is comprehensive, the type of serial articles published every day, they believe that the masters are in the people, brainstorming is the fastest way, and this is also the best means to maintain close contact with the people.

In other words, this is also a good way to throw a little money in exchange for a higher reputation, and the literati are the lightest!

The essay is in charge of "Popular Software" in Asia, and "Game Pass" is responsible for judging in Europe and the United States, and the two magazines are jointly reviewed, and a special prize is set up.

In addition, there are 10 first prizes and 50 second prizes, and as long as some of their ideas are favored by Longteng, they will also receive a high-priced purchase contract, or directly receive a high essay bonus.

Creation is a very subjective thing, a person has a different identity, different status, different occupation, he will look at the same thing from a completely different angle, and this is what Long Teng needs.

There are many responders, on the one hand, because of the high bonuses, and on the other hand. Join Dragon and participate in the game of Resident Evil. It's something that's exciting, produced by Longteng. It must be a boutique, and they are also making history.

The most authoritative science fiction association in North America, the Nebula Award Organizing Committee of the World Science Fiction Association, the Hugo Award Selection Organizing Committee of the World Science Fiction Association, and the well-known science fiction review teams in the world such as China's "Science Fiction World Circle" Galaxy Award Magazine issued initiatives and responses respectively, taking turns to promote the momentum of Longteng Company, if nothing else, "Resident Evil" can be said to have set off a new round of post-apocalyptic literature boom, and the essay collection has improved the entire science fiction environment, and both sides have a win-win situation.

It's just that Yang Yun saw the Galaxy Award in the list of "Famous Science Fiction Units in the World". I couldn't help laughing, of course he knew who was doing this, in fact, he also agreed very much in his heart, and he had always hoped that Chinese science fiction could go to the world and come out of many well-known world science fiction writers.

At the same time, this is indeed a little selfishness of Liu Cixing, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to promote the backward Chinese science fiction industry, many of the science fiction scripts he created in Longteng were published in the supplement of "Science Fiction World", and he went abroad as a visiting scholar. When communicating with his peers in the science fiction world, he did not forget to bring out the science fiction magazines in his hometown.

The development of science fiction in China has a long way to go!

In the global promotion of the "Resident Evil" movie, the literary offensive took the lead. Martial arts later.

The promotional sprint of "Resident Evil" in the last month was piled up with real money, with a film production cost of more than $80 million and a publicity fee of $20 million. This is also based on the huge reputation of Dragon Entertainment Games and the support of tens of millions of Dragon Game fans around the world. Otherwise, the publicity money of 30 million or 50 million yuan will not be heard at all.

On June 20, the "Resident Evil" movie was released. Tickets for the premieres in theaters were sold out within 5 minutes.

Phenomenal games and movies are back in the picture!

……

……

Tokyo, Japan, at the Imperial Theater, there are four people sitting in a private room, Ken Kutaragi of Sony, Pu Yamauchi of Nintendo, Hirono Nakata of Namco, and Masashi Miyamoto of Square Enix, their expressions are indifferent, with some pessimism, one by one, no one speaks for a long time.

They were watching the Japanese version of the "Resident Evil" movie, and they watched Sophie Marceau running on the big screen, holding guns or playing with good knife skills, knocking those wobbly zombie actors to the ground one by one, and watching one big star after another appear on the stage. , they quickly calculated in their hearts.

In fact, they only need to see the actors who act, and they can roughly know the shooting cost of the Lu Dao movie, and know how much money Lu Dao Longteng spent.

The time difference in North America is 11 hours earlier than in Japan, "Resident Evil" not only ended its premiere, but the box office on the first day of North America has been counted in theaters.

On the first day in North America, the box office of "Resident Evil" should exceed $10 million, although it is far less than "The Expendables 2", but as a zombie sci-fi movie, and there is a big difference between the game and the movie video, it is likely to impact the fragile and sensitive hearts of players.

It is already very rare to achieve such results, so when they heard the news, the expressions on everyone's faces were strange, surprised, envious, jealous, incomprehensible, and inexplicable.

"I didn't expect that the movie and game of "Resident Evil" have nothing to do with each other in terms of content...... "Nakata Kono shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Where did they get such a big courage, aren't they afraid of the players protesting?" At least 80% of the content is different, I just want to ask, is it really a game adaptation of a movie? ”

Ken Kutaragi said: "This is because Longteng has passed the era of content first, and they have now begun to build a brand. "Resident Evil" has a lot of commercial elements, although the plot is not very good, but it is not so bad that it can't stand it. Maybe in the near future, even if they release a bad movie, thousands of people will buy it, because they have the largest number of fans. ”

Population base is really important, and this concept is very much admired in real-time strategy games.

Everyone was silent, on the screen, Sophie Marceau was soaked in the flooded laboratory, and the pajamas on her body became wet underwear, if you look carefully, the two-point convex protrusion of her not wearing underwear makes many people have some special desires/desires, plus when she is running, when fighting, any fierce action will make her chest more undulating and majestic, it is indeed a superb visual effect.

"Vulgar and vulgar!" Yamauchi closed his eyes, looking dismissive.

It's a pity that no one responded to this sentence, and the other three were secretly thinking to themselves, if they could, they would be willing to do something vulgar like this, at least they would have the confidence to talk about something else when they made money.

However, the point is that they can't be vulgar even if they want to!

"Hey......" Masashi Miyamoto is the most depressed person, he came over today, but he came with a special purpose, but just after the words were finished, he was taken to the cinema to watch Longteng's new movie, he is most afraid of hearing the word Longteng now, which makes him the most helpless, aggrieved and unwilling helpless.

Kutaragi Ken also sighed heavily, he was really powerless about Miyamoto Masashi's request, he asked: "President Miyamoto, why Square Enix has cooperated with Longteng for so many years, and even invested in shares, why are you unwilling to sell the company to Longteng, but come to us?" ”

This is the request of Masashi Miyamoto, Square Enix is ready to sell as a whole, Masashi Miyamoto is specially here to sell shares, on behalf of the board of directors, he wants to come over to test these bigwigs in the local Japanese game industry, hoping that they can take over Square Enix, of course, there are also plans and plans to shop around.

Masashi Miyamoto can't say it, he doesn't dare to say that it's because Square Enix has lost too much money in the "Final Fantasy" movie, and has fallen into an endless cycle of additional investment, investors are already impatient, they can't see Square Enix's future, they can't get enough returns, they want to retreat bravely and sell all this mess!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Square Enix is a pure-blooded Japanese game production company, Namco is Namco, Nintendo is it, and Sony is too. While Longteng has worked with us for many years, Sega has become essentially a Chinese company, and Square Enix's board of directors has asked us to prioritize selling to local Japanese companies. ”

Masashi Miyamoto can only explain so far-fetched, his answer is very perfunctory, there are many flaws, it is okay to coax the layman, but if you want to deceive the insider, the other three don't believe it at all.

"Attached to the Sega gaming platform, Square Enix's performance is getting better and better year by year, which is obvious to all. But if any of us take over, Final Fantasy will have to face the fate of adapting the game platform, and in all fairness, will we be able to continue the glory of Final Fantasy over the years? President Miyamoto, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk! ”

Kono Nakata unceremoniously accused Masashi Miyamoto of being clever, he would never be easily persuaded to punch holes, and in his opinion, Masashi Miyamoto's offer was completely vexatious, not a sincere attempt to ask for help.

Yamauchi Pu didn't have time to listen to these trivial things, so he asked directly: "Miyamoto, tell your bottom line, and we will decide whether to shoot or not!" ”

Masashi Miyamoto was a little embarrassed: Square Enix offered $100 million to sell the entire business, which included 51% ownership of all the company's games, as well as 100% ownership of the anime, game merchandise, movies and other businesses.

When Kutaragi Ken heard this, his first reaction was: "This price is too high and too high, under normal circumstances, who would have the money to the point where they want to buy anything and even pay back the price?" Buying Square Enix is a head-on declaration of war with Longteng, and you know what the media's ass has become crooked these days. In this world, if you can not be an enemy of Long Teng, then it is best not to anger them! (To be continued......)
