Concentration camp for the elderly in the Japanese game industry,This is the name that Jing Zheng and a group of old guys called out like self-deprecation last month,Basically, they all failed to compete with Longteng.,Acquired,Or completely give up confrontation with Longteng.,Take the initiative to take refuge in the well-known companies in the Japanese game industry.,Because they're quite old.,All over 40 years old.,And most of them are concentrated in Longteng Company.,So it's a name like this.。

"If Square Enix is acquired by Dragon, you can still be your bureau chief to develop the Final Fantasy game, to realize your dreams, and continue to call the shots, Mr. Yang is definitely much better than those board members of yours." Tsujimoto introduced this, and by the way, he picked up a few important things about his career in the post-Capcom era, proving that he was not constrained by the dragon in the slightest.

Last month, Jingzheng also said: "Konami is also, although it is now called Longteng Konami project team, but the development team is still in charge of me, although the number of people is not as large as the independent company period, but the number of people is particularly capable, as long as the submitted game project application is approved by Mr. Yang, all R&D funds and resources can be best guaranteed." ”

Kenzo Tsujimoto leaned over and was quite proud: "We still continue to do the core creative and planning, and the people who really do the low-level coding are outsourced to programmers in China and India, so our status is very high, and the salary and power are not low at all." ”

Masashi Miyamoto laughed: "It's like heaven on earth, working in Longteng doesn't seem to be different from the original independent company?" ”

"No!" The two shouted at the same time, then looked at each other, smiled and said in unison, "At least you don't have to compete with the strongest game production company!" ”

Hehe...... Everyone laughed out loud, and it seemed that everyone felt the same way, against Long Teng. The pressure on all sides is just too great.

Masashi Miyamoto is even more comfortable, at least last month Jingzheng and Tsujimoto Yanlang did a good job in Longteng. Not being angry and desperate because the company was sold, which should be the best ending for a small and medium-sized game production company like them.

The car drove to the Sega headquarters building. Yang Yun and Zhongshan Hayao greeted them warmly at the gate.

Holding Masashi Miyamoto's hand, Yang Yun smiled meaningfully: "President Miyamoto, welcome to join Longteng again." There is an old saying in China, stand at thirty, and do not be confused at forty, you are not confused this year, but you have to solve problems for us young people, guide the maze, and explain the inside information that no one knows! ”

Masashi Miyamoto looked at this tall and handsome young man. I was quite emotional in my heart, Square Enix's cooperation with Long Teng and Miyamoto Masashi were recruited by Yang Yun, which was a completely different treatment.

The two have dealt with each other many times over the years, but the original official affairs and details of cooperation, now in retrospect, are only cold, and now, he is a surrendered general in the battle between the two armies, and Yang Yun can also be a corporal of courtesy. More enthusiastic about him, he felt that all the previous conspiracies and confrontations had been done in vain, and he had to know Yang Yun's attitude as early as possible. He had already taken the initiative to come over.

"I don't dare to take on Mr. Yang's praise, I will tell the things I know about the Tao as they are." Masashi Miyamoto's words. The joy of the crowd greeted, and what they were most looking forward to was news from within the enemy.

……

……

24 June 1996. The highly anticipated Final Fantasy Soul Depths movie was screened in 500 theaters in North America and 940 large and small movie theaters and screening rooms in Japan. It attracted a large number of fans of the game, and the premiere tickets sold out within 10 minutes, and many people were willing to wait in line all night for the next show.

Square Enix spent a total of $185 million, which took two full years, in the same vein as FF games, and the promotional film was made extremely dazzling, the first computer-made protagonist in history, Square Enix's first movie adapted from a game, so that thousands of FF game fans around the world are looking forward to this Square Enix's annual super masterpiece, finally lifted her veil and showed it in front of the world.

Yang Yun thinks it's very interesting, in real history, this movie only appeared in 2001, that is, 5 years later, Square Enix at that time invested 137 million US dollars, but all of Square Enix's resources were exhausted, and he could only make a more perfect female protagonist, and the other supporting characters did a miserable job, and the final box office was dismal, which directly put Square Enix on the verge of bankruptcy and merged with Enix.

Now five years ahead of schedule, and although it has cost nearly $50 million more, can Square Enix really make a satisfactory answer?

1 minute after the opening of the movie, Yang Yun laughed out loud, with such details, he still wants to conquer fans and players in the whole world, it is really a dream, Square Enix is finished, they will definitely face the largest loss annual report in the company's history!

He enjoyed the whole drama with a lively mentality, and he kept comparing it with the pure CG movies he had seen in later generations, silently looking for its failures.

Infinitely close to the setting of the simulated real world, but the enemy is a supernatural phenomenon such as a ghost, and the responsibility of saving the earth is entrusted to the soul of the earth, and the heroine Aki has to find eight spirits from various creatures, this setting feels very unreal, it seems to be a discordant mixture of game and reality, the performance is quite clumsy, and the plot is so bland that it makes people sleepy.

In addition, the big hard injuries in the technique made the players cry out in disappointment.

In the promotional CG animation, the beautiful Aki stands on the wasteland, facing the rising sun on the distant horizon, she raises her hand to cover her eyes, her long hair is soft and flowing, delicate, fluttering in the wind, as if the hands of lovers / people are caressing your face, such CG special effects do not know how many people have been shocked and how much anticipation people have.

Unfortunately, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!

In addition to Aki, the other characters are either simple in appearance or monotonous in action, and they can't achieve the effect of the 3D live-action version at all, because the scenes focus on different aspects, and many scenes are not rendered enough, plus those blunt shots, simple and rough scene processing, players have complained after watching it, thinking that even the special effects of science fiction movies such as "Cadillac and Dinosaurs" three years ago, and even "Jurassic Park" are not as good!

For players, don't they come to the cinema just to see the special effects that the game content is brought to the big screen? But what did they see?

didn't want to find a way to cater to the audience, Square Enix instead adopted the movie script produced by Hironobu Sakaguchi, which was full of oriental elements, and made a lot of feng shui metaphysics, telling about the soul of heaven and earth and other illusory content, isn't this self-defeating?

"Final Fantasy: Deep in the Soul" had a North American box office of $8 million in the first week, and the total box office exceeded 30 million a month later, but the $185 million that Square Enix paid out with real money, plus the more than $10 million shooting base invested in the Dishui Lake Film and Television Game Base in Shanghai, China, all kinds of miscellaneous consumption, Square Enix almost lost nearly $200 million, which is really a loss to Grandma's family!

It only took a week, all the companies related to Square Enix's acquisition were dumb, and the diehards on Square Enix's board of directors who insisted on a $100 million offer were miserable, and now no company was willing to take over, SoftBank Group Son Masayoshi was too busy to take care of himself, KTT disappeared, SZone and a bunch of small businesses seemed to disappear out of thin air, and Long Teng didn't even want to mention it.

"What? Final Fantasy: Deep in the Soul loses, what does that have to do with me? Yang Yun inexplicably asked the media who interviewed him.

"Isn't your dragon a partner in Square Enix? As we all know, 49% of Final Fantasy is yours! The reporter asked.

"Yes, I'm in control of 49 percent, it's just the game. As for the movies, novels, comics, and game peripheral series, I didn't interfere with anything, and all of them were controlled by Square Enix. Yang Yun didn't want to continue to dwell on this topic, and said: "Please cherish the opportunity to speak, I will fly to the United States after the interview, and the next time you see me, I don't know what year and month it will be." ”

"Mr. Yang, I would like to ask you, after Longteng acquires SSI, does it plan to acquire TSR and then develop the DND series of PC games?"

"Mr. Yang, has the R&D plan for Diablo 2 begun? When will it be produced? ”

"Can the Battle Network technique expose server ports to other game production companies and leave a compatible interface in the common game communication protocol?"

“……”

Soon, Square Enix's desperate situation was no longer the focus of the Dragon Teng press conference, Yang Yun patiently answered them one by one, he behaved very steadily and sophisticated, he was very experienced in dealing with these media organizations, and answered a few questions selectively and skillfully, and then sent the gang away.

"I'm going to the United States, and I'll leave the matter of Japan to you!" Yang Yun said goodbye to Hayakuo Nakayama and others at the airport.

Hayao Nakayama patted his chest: "Don't worry, Square Enix is about to go bankrupt, no one dares to take them, I will wait until the most suitable moment to buy them." ”

Yang Zhan squeezed his eyes and said like an underground joint: "That foreigner doesn't know for the time being, everything is going well and is being carried out in an orderly manner......

Yang Yun knew what he was talking about, Son Masayoshi was pulled by Square Enix's frontal harassment, and did not find any abnormalities related to SoftBank itself for the time being, Yang Zhan asked a group of small enterprises and small institutions to act as a cover, and was quietly absorbing the shares of SoftBank Group, trying to negotiate with small shareholders to buy shares directly at a premium.

This trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, but it can only be a surprise battle, a quick battle, once Son Masayoshi comes to his senses, Long Teng will not have much opportunity to quietly buy cheap shares, and at that time Long Teng may not even be able to buy 5% or 10% of such shares.

Maybe Son Masayoshi would have other ideas, but Yang Yun didn't bother to think about it.

"When you're done, come to me!" Yang Yun looked at Wang Zhe and said.

Wang Zhe nodded, and asked with some curiosity: "Listen to the tone, are you going to stay in North America for at least another month?" ”

Yang Yun was in a good mood and was very happy: "Of course! I'm going to stay for a month, and the NBA Draft begins! (To be continued......)
