Chapter 060: Double Dragons and Red Fortress

Before making the Three Kingdoms game, Yang Yun still had two important games to hand over to the side-scrolling project team.

SLG strategy games are often a few trillion in size, and the price is ridiculously high, from the jishu level, the production is not small, it takes a long time, and the development cycle is long.

And Longteng's game card is now a Taurus product, which can bring a lot of cash flow, and he can sell as much as he produces, so he can't relax the R&D and design of ordinary reel games, those small games of hundreds of K, simple, easy and fun, the popularity rate is higher, in short, it is better to make money.

So Yang Yun carefully chose two games, the classic Double Dragon and the Red Fortress.

Double Dragon is produced by an unknown small Japanese company TECHNōS, which has been released in 1987, has been a big hit in arcades, and has been ported to FC, the game is very fun and popular with players, and it is not well-known because except for the bloody series and the Double Dragon series of fighting games, this company has no other famous works, and it went bankrupt in 95.

Fighting games are jishu that must be mastered, there is no doubt about this, because the street fighter on the arcade, Samurai Shodown, and the King of Fighters, which are all classic games that can make players obsessed, and in the future to enter the arcade industry, you must not miss these few.

Yang Yun is no exception, when he was a child in school, he could save 5 cents for breakfast hungry, just to buy 5 game coins, standing in the arcade game room after school, tiptoeing on the edge of the Samurai Soul host, and then after the Samurai Master left, he grabbed the position of the host, invested valuable game coins, and PK with the opponent he thought was the belly of the fish, and chose to hold the overlord pill with the famous knife puffer fish poison, and the knife splashed blood, but in the end, it was himself who died first.

It's embarrassing to think about it, but anyway, the bloody fighting game must be mastered!

Therefore, making a double dragon bloody fight on the FC platform, whether it is successful or not, whether it makes money or not, Yang Yun must develop it, since he has great creativity, he can spur Zhang Guoqiang's team, and he is afraid that the game production will fail?

It's just that due to copyright issues, the idea of Double Truncation Dragon cannot be copied in its entirety, so Yang Yun changed to a very interesting idea.

Isn't the production team of TECHNōS obsessed with Bruce Lee, that's good, then Yang Yun admires Chinese kung fu superstar Cheng Long!

In 1989, Cheng Long was 35 years old, it was the stage of his career in full swing, he starred in many classic movies, especially the 85-year-old police story, which won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Film, and the theme song he sang The heroic story is the representative song of the Hong Kong police.

Such a heroic tough guy, never uses a stand-in, all fights and performances are kung fu superstars who go into battle in person, once was the passerby A who was violently beaten by Bruce Lee in the movie, once was the martial artist B who was kicked away by others, and was once the Wu Ti C of many big stars.

But his hard work and hard performance is the secret of his success, he is a very respected Hong Kong artist, widely loved by everyone, and has an excellent public image, which is also an important reason why Yang Yun wants to cooperate with him.

The prototype of the Japanese double dragon is Bruce Lee, the story takes place in New York, then the Chinese version of the double dragon is Cheng Long, and the battle takes place in Los Angeles, closer to Hollywood.

Cheng Long's entry into Hollywood was not smooth at the beginning, and Yang Yun is confident that he will take this opportunity to contribute to his international giant dream and help him!

Another game, Red Fortress, is a game that Konami has launched in 1988, the first anniversary of its release, sales are good, but unfortunately there is no chance to enter the Chinese market, because Yang Yun's Dragon Company firmly controls the production of game cartridges in the mainland, Nintendo is indulging in the joy of winning the North American market, in the case that other piracy manufacturers have not yet become a climate, the promotion of Red Fortress and Nintendo is difficult, and the Chinese market is closed to Japanese game manufacturers.

This is a game that impressed Yang Yun in his childhood, and it is also a full-width scrolling game that Yang Yun emphasized at the company meeting, and the playability is quite high in terms of story plot and pass design, and Jishu is of course much more difficult than Circus Adventure Island games.

The English name of the Red Fortress is Jackal (Jackal Force), the player has to control a jeep, fight enemies on various terrain maps, storm in the desert, in the jungle, in the swamp, in the port, rescue their captured comrades, and send them to the rescue helicopter in the designated location, zuihou and the level boss have a fierce battle, clear the level to save Shijie.

This game is the most impressive, because Yang Yun was a child who was particularly fond of a perverted gameplay, he liked to control the jeep snake swing, dodge the bullets fired by enemy minions, and then run over them, and then look at the red graphics behind the car and giggle.

Now Yang Yun has the idea of the Red Fortress again, Konami will definitely cry if he knows, they launched the Space Cruiser, Yang Yun preemptively launched the Saloman Snake, and now that the Red Fortress is a big seller, Yang Yun thought of an improved version again, this is simply a natural enemy......

Yang Yun hasn't thought about the content of this game yet, but without further ado, he has to find a way to contact Brother Cheng Long and get rid of the double dragon.

Yang Yun pushed open the door of the office and called Fang Huimin: "Is Manager Zhao here?" ”

Fang Huimin shook her head: "Manager Zhao went out, he should have gone to the office of the Management Committee of the Development Zone." ”

It should be to negotiate with the relevant leaders of Zhongguancun to buy land and build a factory, this is Yang Yun's instruction, take advantage of the current cheapness, you can get a large piece of land on the side of the third ring road, and you will make money in the future.

Yang Yun nodded: "Come back, let him come to see me." After that, he closed his eyes and began to recall the storyline of the Double Dragon and the Red Fortress in his mind, and simply drew a few strokes on a blank piece of paper.

Fang Huimin looked at Yang Yunyun's pen like flying, pursed his lips and closed the door with a smile, it had already spread from the R&D department, this Yang Zong's painting style was elegant, he was simply a master of abstraction, if there was no detailed language description of Yang Yun, without the assistance of Matsumoto Yoshino, a keen game professional artist, and without Xiang Tian, an excellent painter of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, to help make up his brain, except for Yang Yun himself, no one should be able to understand the sketches he draws.

And Yang Yun stopped writing and pondered for a while, and after a while, he was very happy to draw, and soon had the preliminary setting of the double dragon game.

Zhao Yongping returned to the company in the afternoon and came to Yang Yun's office, full of excitement.

Yang Yun said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is out of the horse, a top two, it seems that you have already settled the section chief Hu of the Development Zone Management Committee?" ”

Zhao Yongping was a little proud: "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" The land in Zhaozhuang, four miles away from us, went to the suburbs, a full 10 acres of land, and bought it for 1 million. ”

Yang Yun knew that it was a large piece of farmland now, and it would be on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road in the future, with more than 6,000 square meters of 10 acres of land, and buying it for 1 million was really equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

Yang Yun was very satisfied: "It seems that the name of this model worker and Long March assaulter is quite effective!" That's a good location, hey, I'm quite optimistic about the plot within the fourth ring road of the capital, and you'll know I'm right in the future. This piece of land, Brother Zhao, you have to plan well, it is best to combine the production plant and the office area, and you can also undertake part of the laboratory tasks for the headquarters in the future. By the way, I have something else to do with you, do you remember Sister Ju Ping and Uncle Dong Hao? How much did it cost Dabawang to advertise them? ”

Suddenly asked about this, Zhao Yongping was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was a little weird, and he said for a long time: "When I went to CCTV to find them, Dong Hao was not in good health at that time, so he didn't come, it was Li Yang, who dubbed Donald Duck, who took over the job alone, and said, 'Ah, oh, the big bully has endless fun', and I gave him 60 yuan after shooting less than two hours of advertising in total." ”

"Poof!"

Yang Yun almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, 60 yuan? 60 yuan can make a national first-class announcer, the voice actor of Disney's famous animated character Donald Duck, do an advertisement?

What's the difference between this and money grabbing? Oh no, is this a tribute to the noble sentiments of Chinese artists, or is it an irony of the rising celebrity appearance fees in later generations?

In this way, it's not too difficult to invite Cheng Long, right? Give him a little money, it's easy to get away~

Yang Yun's mind suddenly popped up with the two classic advertisements made by Brother Cheng Long, one was Xiao Erlang and the other was Wangzi Jackie Chan, and he couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Erlang's children's rhyme should be sung by many people, Xiao Erlang, Xiao Erlang, carrying a schoolbag to school, not afraid of the sun, not afraid of the wind and rain, just afraid that Mr. will scold me for being lazy, uneducated, and faceless to see my father.

Look, you must be knowledgeable to be a man, this is Brother Cheng Long's words and deeds, if the students don't buy the Dabawang learning machine, it is equivalent to having no culture, and they will have no face to see their parents.

The same is true for the advertisement of Jackie Chan, Brother Cheng Long and another actor who looks almost exactly like him, operating the big bully learning machine, saying incendiary advertising slogans, in the past, I used to fight the world with my fists, but now it is the computer age, if you want to use the computer to fight the world, the big overlord is your best choice......

After laughing, Yang Yun asked, "Brother Zhao, what do you think, how about our Longteng Company invite Brother Cheng Long to be the image spokesperson?" ”

Zhao Yongping's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Yang, do you remember what you said when you met for the first time?" I thought you had a unique vision and a way to see! I quite agree with the cooperation with Cheng Long, I think your decision is really right! With Cheng Long to sell for us, I believe that Longteng will go further! ”

Yang Yun waved his hand and laughed secretly, in later generations, he heard that Chenglong is an advertising poison, and whoever Cheng Long endorses in China, whoever company will collapse, for example, Dabawang has declined, Aiduo VCD boss is in prison, Fenhuang Cola is bankrupt, Caedi Automobile has sold 900 vehicles nationwide, Overlord shampoo is carcinogenic, and the most recent one is Canon, but it is a foreign company, and it may be highly toxic......

However, Yang Yun didn't believe in this evil, and said: "Okay, since Brother Zhao has been prepared for Cheng Long's endorsement, why don't you assist Huimin and arrange for me to meet him as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Yongping agreed, and the next day came good news, Cheng Long's Cheng family class was a guest on CCTV in Beijing, and promoted the movie "Miracle" starring him and Anita Mui before its release in the mainland.

Zhao Yongping and Jiang Shaoyun each used their connections to contact Cheng Long's agent and facilitated the meeting.

In the past few days, Cheng Long will have a meeting in the small hall of Wenhuayuan of the Beijing Film Academy, and Longteng Company has obtained two admission tickets, and after the end, there can be half a day to negotiate.

Yang Yun happily went!

……

Happy Chinese New Year's Eve to all!
