Chapter 246: Who's Winning Better?
There is an old Chinese saying that the mantis arm is not enough to be a car.
When they didn't see the ending, everyone was full of confidence, thinking that they would definitely win, and they all thought that the other party was the ridiculous praying mantis.
Last month, Jingzheng didn't drink tea happily with Yang Yun, they were two sides of the match, and they were mortal enemies, but they didn't have the leisure to drink tea here and talk about life.
Konami enters Level 1 readiness, and with these five rating points, they must score higher to overwhelmingly outperform the Dragon's version.
Shang Yuejing was sitting in his office, looking at a copywriting plan in his hand, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
"If I knew nothing about you, your loud warnings might scare me. But now, I know the bottom line about you! ”
Flipping through the copywriting plan, looking at those Chinese characters and the Japanese translation simply marked on the side, Shangyue Jingzheng was full of pride in his heart.
Nintendo paid a high price to get this information from China, handed it over to him as quickly as possible, and also provided 100 million yen in funding expenses, which alone made Kazuki Jingzheng think that Konami must be invincible, which is his biggest reliance.
In the view of Jingzheng last month, the content of Longteng's planning book has no hot-selling highlights at all.
In terms of plot, the pale and powerless Chinese-style education content and the bland school life, even if the plot content of high schools in Taiwan and Hong Kong is added, it cannot hide its monotony.
Last moon Jingzheng is very clear, Longteng will definitely take Chinese as the protagonist, and add a lot of Chinese elements to the game, which adds Shaolin stick monks to the famous generals, adds various Chinese folklore in the Three Kingdoms, and the King of Fighters simply makes the Chinese protagonist, and it can be seen through a variety of games that Yang Yun is an out-and-out supporter of Chinese cultural communication.
"Heartbeat Memories" needless to say. The names and images of more than a dozen female characters are typical symbols of Chinese mainland girls, and in last Yue's view, some of these women have commercial value, but more are superfluous, or mediocre, far less erudite and versatile than Japanese girls.
He is a pure bloodline, and Yang Yun is a foreign product, so at this point, he is very confident to defeat Yang Yun.
In addition, music and art may be on the same page. Konami plus Nintendo, against Sega plus Dragon, everyone has a wealth of resources, and you can find a suitable maker.
And the playability and balance, because both parties are making a romance game for the first time. I don't know how strong the other party's R&D strength is, and last month, Jingzheng could only increase the pressure on his own employees. Let them strive for excellence. Perfection, so these two are the most uncertain factors.
"Hehehehe...... Looks like I have a big chance of winning! Shangyue Jingzheng closed the planning book and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "This time, I will let Long Teng fall a big heel!" If I don't enter this kind of game for 3 years, I will make "OnlyLove" the most classic signature of the complete shijie love development game! ”
After leaving the tea ceremony house. Yang Yun returned to Fengyun Games.
The two armies are facing each other, and the battle is about to begin, and the generals of the two sides have already negotiated face-to-face, just like the battles in the Middle Ages in Europe. In the oldest way, find a game heads-up and surrender if you lose, so as to avoid a direct collision between the two sides, countless casualties, and the enemy and themselves.
For Konami, Yang Yun is still very interested, their "Metal Gear Solid" makes Yang Yun unforgettable, always thinking about getting his hands, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series is also one of Yang Yun's deep memories when he was young, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, these turtles have brought him a lot of joy, so of course it is the best to win the entire company.
In addition, "Castlevania", "Heartbeat Memories", "Top Gun", "Fantasy Water Margin", "Pro Evolution Soccer", "Silent Hill", fishing machines, DJ machines, dance machines, and Konami's excellent game works are countless, which is also an important reason why Yang Yun is determined to acquire Konami.
Yang Yun came to Studio Ghibli and found Jean Hisaishi, and the two went directly to the recording studio to collect demo samples.
He would hum the original theme song of Konami, but he didn't know who made it, and he couldn't ask, so there was only one way, to launch it first, and make it available to the whole society.
As for the composer, Yang Yun can only be cheeky and concurrent, and his "talent" in music surprised Hisaishi.
"Mr. Yang, the main theme of this theme song, cheerful, relaxed, with a hint of excitement, I think it's very good!" Hisaishi sighed, "If you add a little more symphony and orchestral accompaniment, the effect will be even better!" ”
"Ahem......" Yang Yun was a little unaccustomed to it at first, how did he become a genius composer: "I'll leave the rest to Joe!" Also, I hope to release it as soon as possible in the form of a single. ”
Hisaishi nodded, "We can only sell it through an independent record label, and we can also send it to Sony's music department for promotion, but the fastest thing is to give it to Kyoto Radio J-Wave for the public." ”
This......
Yang Yun was speechless, he didn't expect that there were so many things in his game empire that he couldn't control personally, and even the game music had to be published through other companies, and even Hisaishi made all his CD discs to find a Ghibli partner record company.
"Perhaps, we Longteng should buy a music distribution company?" Yang Yun smiled and asked, "If Joe finds a suitable company, you can notify me." It's really bad to be controlled by people! ”
Hisaishi smiled, making music and making games are fundamentally two different things, and now Sony Music controls almost most of the market in Japan, unless Yang Yun can make a second Sega in the music market, otherwise, it is very likely that he will only become Sony's foil.
Time passed day by day, on March 18th, Konami announced the second CG of "OnlyLove", Yang Yun only sneered when he saw it, because the CG content was far from the perfect state he thought, and it was obvious that Konami was affected in many ways.
On March 22, J-Wave Radio released a new album co-produced by Jean Hisaishi and Yang Yun in the Kyoto area, seven of the 12 songs are pure music, and the other five are sung by five famous Japanese voice actors.
This is the first time that Kyong-jeong-masang has been hit head-on by Longteng, because only a handful of the bands that Konami is planning to work with have agreed to produce original songs, and many more have suggested that Kon-Moon's music rights be purchased by J-Wave.
And the high-quality music played on the radio, last Yuejing knew very well in his heart, it was very likely that it was the song adopted in the Longteng version of "Heartbeat Memories", and Konami could not get these, in comparison, the content produced by Konami fell into disadvantage.
On March 28, three Konami employees resigned and paid a high amount of liquidated damages.
All three of them took out the examination report from the hospital and left Konami for health reasons, and their whereabouts are unknown.
However, Kazuki firmly believes that it must be Fengyun's method, because these three people, who are the core senior staff of the music production, art production, and planning department, have left at this sensitive time, causing a huge negative impact on Konami's R&D team.
On April 2, Nintendo increased its sponsorship and was ready to invest 100 million yen, but last month Keimasa refused.
On April 3rd, the production progress of Konami's "OnlyLove" game reached 70%, but there were many holes in the details, there were many bugs and loopholes in the main line of the game, and the artists worked hard to put forward more than 60 kinds of supporting actress characters, but the vast majority of them were vetoed by the suspicious Kamitsuki Jingzheng, and the game soundtrack effect was very poor, and the quality of the songs made was completely inferior to Hisaishi's music album.
On April 5, last Yuejing was forced to be sent to the hospital for treatment by his family because of extreme anxiety and did not sleep for three days.
On April 7, Yang Yun and Hisaishi came to the hospital to visit Shangyue Jingzheng in person and send blessings, but they did not mention the content of Long Teng's "Heartbeat Memories", which made Shangyue Jingzheng more and more anxious.
On April 30, Konami held a regular press conference, and last month Jingzheng reluctantly announced the beta version of the "OnlyLove" game, but it was not publicly handed over to professional testers to try it out, causing speculation in the media and also causing dissatisfaction with Nintendo.
On May 2, Nintendo's national propaganda Jihua was stopped because of the lack of cooperation of Kamitsuki Keimasa, and Yamauchi Pu and Kamitsuki Keimasa discussed behind closed doors for two hours, and the two parted unhappily.
On May 4th, Shangyue Jingzheng dragged his tired body and accepted Yang Yun's invitation, and the two met at a kaiseki restaurant this time, and without the initial hostility, they sat down to drink together in a friendly manner.
It's only been two months, Yang Yun doesn't seem to have changed at all, but he has more energy and a better mood than before, no way, he can't be in a bad mood, his career is rising steadily, several good seedlings have been acquired by himself, and the competitors are dying, how can they be in a bad mood?
Looking at Jingzheng last month, because of physical and mental exhaustion and heavy pressure, he has more and more gray hair, dark circles, dry skin, and a weak look, as if he is 10 years old.
Yang Yun tasted the faint premium secret wine, ate the smooth and tender tuna sashimi, and looked like he was enjoying it.
Regardless of the dissuasion, Jingzheng asked for the highest degree of old wine, and drank it one after another, as if he was ready to get himself drunk.
Yang Yun looked at this old opponent, he couldn't wait for him to get drunk, otherwise what else would he talk about?
After four or five glasses, Yang Yun pressed the hand of Shangyue Jingzheng who continued to pour wine, and said lightly: "President Shangyue, wine can't eliminate everything, shouldn't we talk about the game?" (To be continued......)
