Chapter 414 - Windows 95 Changed the World

In the temporary command post at the end of Raccoon City Street, Luc Besson asked his assistant to set up a portable small viewfinder to play the real scenes he had filmed in the United States, and then explained the three comparisons to Yang Yun's drawings of the streets of Raccoon City and the high-precision mock-up of Raccoon City placed on the side.

The chief engineer of the China Resources and Longteng construction teams also stood aside, and after carefully evaluating the drawings, Yang Yun asked the question that everyone was most concerned about: "How is the construction progress of the streets of Raccoon City on our side?" When will it be completed? ”

The chief engineer of China Resources replied quite simply and confidently: "We are going to make a cast-type steel frame structure for the tallest 18-story building, that is, only the load-bearing body, and most of them are built with steel frames, and it is enough to do a good job of exterior wall decoration." The building will take a month, and the rest of the construction is being finalized, with a total construction period of no more than 40 days. ”

Yang Yun and Luc Besson discussed, the scene of "Resident Evil 1" in Raccoon City is this street, and the only thing that is really used in the back is a limited number of buildings such as police stations and churches, and the import and export quarantine station in Biochemistry 2, Salt Lake City and Desert Gas Station in Biochemistry 3, Tokyo Umbrella Company Dungeon and Los Angeles in Biochemistry 4, there are really a lot of places to do, and they can be rebuilt in other places.

Therefore, there are not many close-up shots in the streets of Raccoon City, and in the future, Resident Evil-themed tours will not allow tourists to enter the interior of the 18-story building to escape.

The actors who play the zombies, the protagonists such as Alice and Jill, will only follow a specific route, and the most tourists can do is watch the actors perform in the bus, and feel the impact of the zombies up close on the safety fence. Or experience a jailbreak with Wentworth Miller......

Therefore, from the economic point of view, there is no need to make a real office building for such a building as an 18-storey building. Because this is a scenic area, not a business center!

"Okay! I hope you can make the streets as similar as they are in the United States! Yang Yun was sure of this. Motioned for them to leave.

Miyamoto Masashi finally understood Yang Yun's intentions, this is really based on the film and television city, the game is full of too much magic and advanced technology, it can't be exactly the same as the reality, Yang Yun This is the most correct way to choose.

Visiting the construction base of Resident Evil Raccoon City, and then returning to downtown Shanghai to eat an authentic meal of Shanghu Benbang, Masashi Miyamoto couldn't help but pull Yang Yun to discuss investing in the Final Fantasy Game Zone.

"President Yang, I sincerely ask for you. Leave us an area of 40,000 square meters in the film and television base, and we are willing to invest in the construction of a fortress city of New York City! "Masashi Miyamoto's plan is large, with a 100*400 area, plus a variety of transitional passages, enough to encompass several important parts of the Final Fantasy Soul movie.

40,000 square meters, 60 acres, fortunately, this is a small investment project, and even a panoramic view can't be pulled.

And the film is a steampunk style in which airships coexist with magic. To be honest, it's really not suitable for real scenes, but after Masashi Miyamoto saw the production mode of Raccoon City, he basically didn't have much pressure. You don't need a complete real scene, just make the key occasions.

"President Miyamoto, 40,000 square meters is not a small amount. I can leave you this land, but the design of the building needs to be reviewed by our company. And at the time of construction. External cooperation in the form of project bidding, and property management fees in the future. Utilities, tourist tickets, and other companies' movie filming fees, we have to write them out in detail in the contract. ”

Yang Yun was not surprised at all, and there was no smile on his solemn expression: "There is an old saying in China, brothers must also settle accounts, although we are a cooperative company, but the accounts must be calculated clearly!" ”

Masashi Miyamoto nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will get the company to send an auditor over as soon as possible." Can you tell me how much the investment amount will be for this 40,000-square-meter land? ”

Yang Yun touched his chin and said lightly: "According to the steampunk style of Final Fantasy games, if you want to make such a large theme area, the total investment is about 10 million to 20 million US dollars......"

"$10 million!" Masashi Miyamoto was stunned, he didn't expect it to be this price, he probably knew that the total investment in a Sega theme park was 20 million US dollars, but he didn't expect that just one Final Fantasy area would need so much!

Yang Yun laughed: "President Miyamoto, we are a completely replica of Disneyland, do you know how much their total investment in a paradise is?" Billions! ”

Dishui Lake Game Film and Television Base is definitely not so cheap!

It is different from Hengdian Film and Television City, which has taken more than ten years and only has a total investment of 6 billion yuan.

The first phase of the project on the Dishui Lake side has 500 million yuan, which will be used to transform the Dishui Lake and design the wetland park.

How can such a high investment pay off? The first is to rely on financial allocation, the second is to rely on the self-financing of enterprises, and the third is to sell the planning area to attract investment from other companies.

Square Enix came in, there was no problem at all, as long as he could get the money out, Yang Yun raised his hands to welcome.

And Japanese companies come in, but it's not so simple, with Yang Yun here, 10 million US dollars may not be enough to get this 30 acres of land, not the best area, not counting all kinds of tax expenses......

Losses, then losses, let Square Enix's losses become as big as possible!

After sending off Masashi Miyamoto, Yang Yun returned to the life of two points and one line.

Blizzard, the company of Longteng's Shanghai Research Center, has recently been in a state of confusion, and the 3D version of "Diablo" they produced is too poor, but they feel unwilling to change it to 2.5D.

Looking at the interface of the dark Tristram camp, Yang Yun laughed: "Marcos, do you think that a dark-oriented game really needs to be so particular on the screen?" ”

Marcos touched the stubble on his chin and said unwillingly, "I still hope to be perfect." ”

Yang Yun said meaningfully: "Because of the backwardness of the hardware, even if we have advanced ideas, it is useless. Believe me, let's make it in 2.5D first, and in a few years, when our 128-bit console on the SS platform comes out, it will be the time for 3D Diablo to shine! ”

Marcos finally laughed, and Eric who was standing on the side couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Yang, Microsoft has announced that their latest Windows operating system, Windows 95, is about to be launched, do we have to wait a little longer to see if we can make a PC version?" ”

Windows 95 is about to be launched, Yang Yun is clear about this, but he has his own plans: "Erik, we have not made much achievements in PC games, the main battlefield is video games, and now there is a strong opponent competing with us. Remember, it's easy to chew too much! ”

Eric is a little ashamed, he really didn't think about this, from the former Vulture Studio, to the current Blizzard Studio, they are still unwilling to give up the habit of PC game development, and always subconsciously want to develop the PC version, especially himself, when developing SS Dark, he always feels that he is not as handy as doing a PC Demo.

Marcos put his arm around his brother's shoulders and encouraged him: "Eric, when we defeat Sony PS together, then we will make Diablo a PC port, and that day will definitely come." ”

"That's right! And I believe that it is very likely that it will be in the next few years! Yang Yun added with a smile.

Maybe by 1998, he should be able to completely extinguish old video game rivals like Sony and Nintendo, right?

Moreover, after 1996, the Internet took shape, and he wanted to seize the time to lay out and take the lead in becoming the world's leading authority in the field of online games.

The explosion of the Internet is coming, and it is the past few years!

On August 24, 1995, Microsoft officially launched the Windows 95 Windows operating system, bundled with Microsoft DOS 7.0 version, which can meet the old habits of users.

At the same time, this powerful, stable and practical desktop graphical user interface has been well received by users all over the world.

Microsoft spent $300 million to advertise the operating system, invited the Rolling Stones and thousands of viewers and guests on the playground of Raymond University, broadcast it live on satellite television, and conquered the world with overwhelming media advertising.

With the advent of Microsoft's era, the PC has entered a new period of rapid development, Windows 95 has unified the global Windows operating system, and changed thousands of IT companies, not only application software manufacturers, but also supporting hardware manufacturers.

The gaming industry is no exception, all DOS games are basically out of development, and no one is going to invest heavily in developing pure DOS OS games again, and if there is, it's a small amount, and it's patched for past versions.

EA, Ubisoft's leading supplier of major PC games, has issued statements that it will make a version under the Windows 95 operating system.

Players also have to change their habits, if you want to play the latest PC games, you must update your PC host, you must know that the CPU below 386, Windows95 is not supported, which is forcing them to update the hardware!

The biggest gains, of course, are companies like Longteng and Sony, whose games are not affected by the PC operating system, and a considerable number of PC gamers do not want to change their computer hardware and return to the arms of video games.

At the same time, they are also the most stressed enterprises, it is conceivable that the Windows 95 operating system will bring a qualitative leap in PC games, and TV games will face unprecedented challenges! (To be continued......)
