Chapter 233: Chinese Really Love to Play "Heartbeat Memories"?
"Minister Zhu, is it possible for this love game to pass the review of the National Press and Publication Administration?"
Yang Yun handed over the plan to Zhu Shuguang, and the other party only read it for five minutes, but he pondered for ten minutes without speaking, his brows were tightly locked, his finger joints were unconsciously tapping lightly on the table, and his eyes were wandering and looking at the scenery outside the window.
In fact, before coming, Yang Yun also thought about it carefully.
In most parts of China now, the ancient feudal ideology is still deep-rooted, reading can only read, that is, to study hard, if a student dares to fall in love in school, once found out by the teacher, talk, warn, call parents, punishment, serious will be ordered to drop out, this is the absolute forbidden area of the school.
In this era, Yang Yun has not heard the song "You at the Same Table", and it may not have come out yet, he only knows that in 1981, Luo Dayou created the song "Childhood", which is actually about the content of junior high school and high school.
There is a lyric in it that says: "Why hasn't the girl in the next class passed by my window, the snack in her mouth, the comic in her hand, and the first love in her childhood." ”
It is a pity that this song, which is popular in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, has been banned from being played in mainland China, because many of the lyrics are incompatible with the traditional education of Chinese schools.
"Childhood" has only been slowly lifted in recent years, and like those songs depicting hazy aiqing in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it has quietly entered the mainland through entertainment devices such as Walkman and dual-card radios, and has been spreading on a small scale. It is loved by adolescent children, but it is never recognized by most of the elders.
Yang Yun's biggest headache is here, if "Heartbeat Memories" is sold in Chinese mainland, who is his customer audience?
Are the children, or are the parents who can afford to buy? Or those young people who went to work, in order to get married, to have children, to run for life in the 90s?
Even if many people have the financial means to buy, do they really have a high school career full of beautiful first love?
In the past twenty years, who are not introduced by both parents. Matchmaker as a guarantor. Both men and women bow their heads and obey, and then make do with marriage and live a lifetime?
It wasn't until the 90s that the urban reform broke the iron rice bowl. Individual businesses are booming across the country. Some people got rich first. This is why free love has appeared on a large scale in China.
People in the 70s are now in their 20s, and people in the 60s are now in their 30s, going up to the mountains and going to the countryside. Criticizing the revolution, people who can't even eat enough, who still has the heart to consider the feelings of first love, who has the feelings of first love?
So in China, the market for "Heartbeat Memories" is really not big.
Zhu Shuguang finally spoke: "Xiao Yang, if I refuse, you will still make an overseas version and sell it to Japan and North America, right?" ”
Yang Yun nodded: "Of course!" If this is the case, the script will be greatly changed, and the Beijing Tsinghua High School here will either use Taipei Tsinghua High School as a model, or it will be changed to a school in Tokyo. All these Chinese names in it have to be modified, even the content and scenes of the story have to be changed, running blackboard newspapers, class parties, radio gymnastics, these contents are not available in Japan and Taiwan, I will add such as spring festival temple fairs, extracurricular club activities, and even change to three semesters in Japan. ”
Zhu Shuguang sighed: "With your Longteng habits, after this game is made, it is not surprising that it will sell well all over the world." Such a way of promoting China is likely to be blocked by the state's conservative thinking. Xiao Yang, I'm afraid the Press and Publication Administration won't be able to pass it. ”
Ay......
Yang Yun was already prepared in his heart, so he was not too sad, he asked with a smile: "Minister Zhu, listen to your tone, you personally supported me, but you gave up because of the pressure of the whole society?" ”
Zhu Shuguang nodded: "When we officials make decisions, we still have to take into account the feedback of the society. Although the animation and game production industry in China has been liberalized a lot in the past two years, which has changed some of the dead and old atmosphere in China and changed the views of many parents, the general environment is still very grim. You're kind of out of bounds by doing that. ”
Yang Yun laughed: "It's okay, anyway, all of Longteng's games don't make much money in China, and I don't expect "Heartbeat Memories" to sell 100,000 copies." Minister Zhu, you can support me personally, which shows that you are still a fairly enlightened official. ”
"Less sycophants!" Zhu Shuguang said with a smile: "The main thing is that you Longteng is doing a good job, and you deserve my support!" ”
Yang Yun asked with a smile: "Isn't it because the game touched your beautiful memories?" ”
Zhu Shuguang was stunned, looked at Yang Yun's strange expression, and scolded with a smile: "You kid ......"
The two couldn't stop laughing, and Zhu Shuguang suddenly said: "Okay, I'll still find a relationship and try it." Youth newspapers and books can be sold, why can't this kind of youth game be passed, and the country can't do a one-size-fits-all approach! ”
"Huh? You ......" Yang Yun would never have thought that it was the words just now that touched Zhu Shuguang's heart, and he was ready to give Yang Yun a chance to show.
Hazy poetry can be published, youth novels can be published, love songs can also be sung, and weishenme love games can't be sold?
Yang Yun hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "Minister Zhu, you have promised me, don't regret it!" As long as you say a good word in the Press and Publication Administration, I will leave the rest to my fate, whether it is successful or not, and I can accept any result! ”
After solving this problem, Yang Yun talked about the acquisition of ATI.
Yang Zhan and Blackstone Group have signed a joint acquisition cooperation agreement, ATI's acquisition has been completed, and 50 million US dollars of Longteng funds have also been transferred, and China Longteng Entertainment & Game Company has officially become ATI's third largest shareholder.
After hearing the details of this matter, Zhu Shuguang became interested: "Xiao Yang, it's good!" Our country's GPU R&D and production are equally backward, and any advanced jishu in the international community will be helpful to our country. I'd like to hear how you're going to go? ”
Yang Yun laughed: "In order to save costs, I can suggest that ATI open a factory in China, or simply send our domestic engineers to Canada to study jishu, just like Sega." In any case, there should be only benefits to investing in ATI, and there are no disadvantages, and the GPU is simpler and easier to use than the CPU. ”
Zhu Shuguang nodded: "I'll discuss with the relevant people first, come up with a plan, and see if you can cooperate." Don't worry, the country will definitely not treat you badly, you can't solve it here, make up for it there. ”
"You can help get Heartbeat Memories approved, that's enough......," Yang Yun laughed, and among the reasons he bought ATI was Jihua, who regarded it as his political capital.
Zhu Shuguang's attitude changed greatly this time: "No problem! The General Administration of Press and Publication, I still said it, and the Ministry of Culture shouldn't be a problem. ”
Puff......
Yang Yun couldn't help laughing, sure enough, he couldn't cross the boundary of the boundary, it was still drawn by people, I said that the boundary would be crossed, I said that if I didn't cross the boundary, I wouldn't cross the boundary, and if I said that I didn't cross the boundary, I didn't cross the boundary
It's just that regardless of whether the heartbeat memories pass in China or not, Yang Yun is still ready to make several versions, and the simplified version of Chinese mainland is just one of them, and after the project is approved by the cultural department, Yang Yun will play a big move and make it a sensational game around the world.
……
……
Last month, Jingzheng received a call from Yamauchi Pu and braved the heavy rain to come to Yamauchi's residence.
In Japan, there are only a handful of game production colleagues who can enter and leave Yamauchi's residence, and Konami President Keimasa Kamitsuki is one of them.
Five years ago, when Konami was at the end of the mountain and the water was at stake, Shangyue Jingzheng had to beg to come to the door and waited for three hours in front of the mountain gate in exchange for ten minutes of conversation.
But last moon Keimasa succeeded, he extended the ten minutes to an hour, the weapon gained the trust of Yamauchi, and Konami became Nintendo's game supplier, bringing him back to life.
In the next few years, Konami closely followed Nintendo's pace, and when other companies in the Nintendo Six Tigers had different intentions, only Konami followed Yamauchi unswervingly, and never betrayed, even if Sega surpassed Nintendo, and Yamauchi Pu's left and right arms were all cut off, Kazuki Jingzheng supported Nintendo wordlessly, and was much more loyal than Enix, who easily betrayed.
This is also the reason why Yamauchi Pu called him over, Yamauchi Pu, who has passed the age of knowing the mandate of heaven, sees everyone's hearts very thoroughly, and now he can be trusted with the last moon scene.
"President Yamauchi!" Last month, Jingzheng's body was soaked in a lot of places, today's storm came too suddenly, lightning and thunder, the wind was everywhere, at this time Yamauchi Pu also called to beckon, there must be something urgent, so he didn't dare to slack off, brave the rain to come.
Yamauchi handed him a dry towel to wipe his face, and then motioned for him to enter the study.
This study is exactly where the two talked for an hour five years ago, and last moon Jingzheng will always remember the moment when Yamauchi Pu smiled and nodded, looking back, it was really embarrassing and sighed.
Waiting for the maid to bring hot tea, Shangyue Jingzheng had already soothed his body by the heating and knelt opposite Yamauchi Pu.
"Last month, President, how is Konami doing now?" Yamauchi Pu took a sip of tea and asked in a very flat tone.
"We are working on an arcade version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3, a GameBoy version of Nemesis, Castlevania 2, an SFC version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, and an SFC adaptation of The Simpsons comic next year......," said Keimasa Kamitsuki.
"Stop!" Yamauchi interrupted him.
Shangyue Jing closed his mouth and looked at Yamauchi Pu with some curiosity.
After taking a sip of tea, Pu Yamauchi said, "The projects that Konami is working on, speed up the progress, and the projects that have not yet been started, all stopped!" I have a game plan here, and I hope you can do your best to make it as quickly as possible. ”
Shangyue Jingzheng was a little puzzled, he took the planning book handed by Yamauchi Pu, looked at the title, stood up suddenly, and exclaimed: "Heartbeat Memories"! That's impossible! (To be continued......)
