The full name of E3 Game Show is The Electronic Entertainment Expo, because this series of English letters starts with three E's, so it is called E3 Game Show by domestic players.

Speaking of E3, there is also a somewhat tragic story in it.

Before E3, there was no large-scale exhibition dedicated to games in the world, and at that time, game manufacturers who wanted to participate in world-class exhibitions generally went to the World Consumer Electronics Show, which is also known as CES.

However, this exhibition has never paid much attention to games, after all, in this era, the total output value of the world's game industry is only about 10 billion US dollars, and the output value of consumer electronics exceeds the level of 300 billion US dollars, and games only account for a non-very important category of consumer electronics.

The economy determines status, so the game has always been a marginal existence at CES, and when allocating booths, it can only be assigned to the most marginal of the exhibition center, near the corners of the few positions.

Moreover, there are only a few game companies that are eligible to participate in the exhibition, such as Nintendo, and other game companies that want to participate in the exhibition will be directly rejected.

At that time, the organizers of CES proudly said that game products have never been able to be elegantly displayed for a lifetime, and they should be very satisfied if they can get such a small space in the exhibition hall, and they should not ask for more status.

These things naturally make the world's major game manufacturers feel very humiliated, everyone urgently needs a game industry to belong to their own exhibition, so after last year's CES, the world's major game manufacturers gathered together, after a meeting and discussion, everyone agreed to hold a game industry's own super exhibition, so the E3 exhibition was born logically.

After CES, the game industry will never appear on the exhibition again, and the International Consumer Electronics Show, there are no game-related exhibitors, which has to make people feel very weird.

CES was later held until 2019, but at this time CES was already in the twilight, and no one was willing to go to CES to visit any electronic products, so CES officially announced its closure in 2020 (this has nothing to do with the epidemic, because CES was held in January, at that time, the world, especially the Chinese people, were still watching Chinese jokes), since then this proud exhibition has completely disappeared, but E3 has become more and more huge in terms of scale and popularity.

Ahem,To get back to business,The first E3 will be in July 95 when the plot,Although later this time was changed to March,But at this time it is undoubtedly in July,After all, July is the beginning of the summer vacation,Release the game at this time,More can get a huge market。

The news of the first E3 was not a shock to Boss Jia, after all, these are common sense for a practitioner in the game industry, but the problem is that Boss Jia didn't receive any news of E3, if it wasn't for the accidental hearing from Yamauchi Pukou, Boss Jia didn't know that E3 would be held in July.

"Why, you look down on us and think I'm not qualified to participate in the exhibition?" Boss Jia's expression darkened, and Yamauchi Pu on the side immediately smiled and said, "Jia Jun, don't misunderstand, the invitation letter to you Daqian was actually sent directly to our Nintendo." The E3 organizing committee made a mistake, they thought that your Pokemon was a game owned by Nintendo, so they didn't send you an invitation. ”

"Oh!" Boss Jia nodded with a stiff expression, this answer seems to be worse than the E3 organizing committee does not know Daqian Group.

"Xiao Jia, you don't have to worry, we jointly created the E3 exhibition, the purpose is open, in order to provide an opportunity for all game manufacturers to show themselves. Therefore, this time, in addition to the invitation system, E3 also has an application system, and any game manufacturer can directly apply to the organizing committee of E3 for an area to participate in the exhibition. ”

"If you want to participate in E3, you can send a letter directly to the management committee of E3 to apply! Also, as a founding member of the E3 Management Committee, I can apply for a temporary area directly for you! It's a little more convenient, too! Yamauchi said with a smile.

"Hahaha! Then trouble Yamauchi-senpai! Boss Jia laughed, "This time E3, we Daqian Entertainment naturally want to participate, so please trouble Yamauchi seniors, apply for an exhibition area for me!" ”

"No problem!" Yamauchi Pu smiled: "I don't know how much exhibition area Jia Jun plans to apply for this time?" ”

"How big is Nintendo's exhibition area this time?" Boss Jia suddenly asked.

"It's not much, about 3,000 square meters, which is only 1/4 of the entire exhibition hall!" Yamauchi said with squinted eyes.

"Then help me get a 3,000 square meter!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

"......" Yamauchi's expression froze instantly, and then said, "The area of the entire exhibition hall is only about 12,000 square meters, where is there still an area of 3,000 square meters for you, otherwise, I will get you a few hundred square meters, it should be enough." ”

"Wouldn't it? As far as I know, the entire Los Angeles Convention Center has an area of 50,000 square meters, how can it be only 12,000 square meters? Boss Jia asked in surprise.

"It's the area of 6 exhibition halls combined!" Yamauchi Pu said angrily, "This time E3, we only plan to rent the exhibition hall in Area A, and the exhibition hall in Area A is only 12,000 square meters!" ”

"Then let's rent another exhibition hall, I think it's okay to rent the exhibition hall in Area B next to it!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

"That's too big, the area of the exhibition hall in Area B is also 10,000 square meters, which is a little too big for the whole exhibition! The area of 12,000 square meters is enough for all the world's well-known game companies, if you add the exhibition hall in Area B, there will be no other game companies stationed at all, and most of the area will be vacant, which is not cost-effective. Yamauchi rolled his eyes and said.

"Senior, this suggestion is good!" Yamauchi Pu was just complaining, but what he didn't expect was that Boss Jia said with a suddenly realized expression, "That's right, we Daqian Entertainment, we can wrap up the entire exhibition hall in Area B, so there is no problem of waste!" ”

"What, what do you say?" Yamauchi was stunned.

"Senior, I mean, you don't have to bother squeezing out a few hundred square meters of exhibition area for me from Area A, just give us the entire Area B, the entire Area B is our display area, how great is this!" Boss Jia said with a smile.

"But the entire B area is 10,000 square meters, and the rent is as high as $50,000 a day, you ......," Yamauchi muttered.

"What, it's only $50,000 a day, it's so cheap, then there's no problem, the rent of the entire B area, and other related expenses, are all paid by us...... The rent of only 50,000 US dollars a day is so cheap, I thought it was too expensive! Boss Jia said with a smile, and the face of Yamauchi Pu on the side was pulled down.

This kid is too TMD poisonous.

————————

"Fifty thousand dollars a day doesn't seem to be expensive...... "After Boss Jia left, Yamauchi Pu was still there, muttering to himself, "We Nintendo can make seven or eight billion dollars a year, it seems that spending $50,000 a day to rent a venue is really not expensive."

“…… Shut up, how can you have such a loser idea! ”
