Chapter 142: Officially Joined
The next day, Zhao Hao took the documents and went to the studio early in the morning.
"By the way, let me tell you, Hideo Kojima will come to visit our studio later." Looking at Liu Dong, Li Hua and James, who were busy, Zhao Hao spoke.
NOW THEY ARE WORKING ON SOME UPDATES TO FALLOUT AND MY WORLD, AS WELL AS BUG FIXES, AND THE REST OF THEM ARE WORKING ON UPDATES AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE GAME ENGINE.
Hearing Zhao Hao's words, James and the others were startled, and hurriedly came over to Zhao Hao's side.
Although I knew that Hideo Kojima might join the Space Gate Studio and would visit the studio, I didn't expect it to be so soon.
There was a little bit of nervousness, but more of an excitement, excitement to be able to meet such a game master.
Hideo Kojima, who has been making games since the 90s, is completely worthy of James' respect, especially the games made by Hideo Kojima, which have not simply become classics with the times, relying on selling feelings.
Whether it's Metal Gear Solid or Silent Hill, it's a game that is incredibly fascinating.
Especially in the stealth genre of games, the name Hideo Kojima has to be mentioned when mentioning this genre.
If Zhao Hao is the opener of sandbox games and freedom games, then Hideo Kojima has become a representative of stealth games.
Almost an hour later, Zhao Hao received a notification that Hideo Kojima had arrived.
After going downstairs, Zhao Hao saw a middle-aged man wearing a black casual shirt and glasses who looked elegant, standing at the door of the space door studio.
"Mr. Zhao." Seeing Zhao Hao coming out of the office building, Hideo Kojima said hello with a smile.
is not the same as what Zhao Hao thinks or the Japanese in the movie, Hideo Kojima does not bend down to say hello at every turn like the Japanese in film and television dramas, but raises his hand to shake hands with Zhao Hao and say hello.
If it weren't for the local Japanese accent, maybe Zhao Hao would have thought that Hideo Kojima was an authentic Chinese.
"Mr. Kojima." Zhao Hao also smiled slightly.
Then he took Hideo Kojima and walked towards the office building.
Now this ten-story office building has been completely rented by Zhao Hao, and there are still many empty floors.
Of course, the rent is not cheap, although it is not comparable to the big office buildings in some big cities. But it also costs more than one million rents a year.
Looking at Hideo Kojima on the side of the studio, he nodded secretly.
Hideo Kojima doesn't really care if there is a dedicated work building, and Hideo Kojima values a stable working environment. There are also places where you can play freely.
He's just a game maker, not something else.
It's just that.
Later, Zhao Hao took Hideo Kojima to visit Liu Dong and Li Hua's studios where they made 'Fallout' and 'My World'.
"In the future, the mainstream of games should be the sandbox mode, and freedom is an important factor in attracting players. No matter what kind of game it is, the weight of freedom will always increase. After the visit, when he came to the office, Hideo Kojima said to Zhao Hao with some emotion.
"That's true, I think so too, if the games on the market now don't have a wonderful plot or innovative gameplay, then they only rely on the classic feelings of the past, because the games on the market at present have a big shortcoming, there is no sufficient sense of substitution." Zhao Hao nodded and said to Hideo Kojima.
Heard Zhao Hao's words. Hideo Kojima nodded slightly.
"Actually, I'm here today, I think Mr. Zhao should understand what I mean." Hideo Kojima's face suddenly straightened, and he said to Zhao Hao.
"Of course." Zhao Hao nodded lightly.
Zhao Hao is already very clear about the meaning of Hideo Kojima coming to the space gate, all that remains is to talk about the conditions, in addition to the treatment explained in the letter, Hideo Kojima should have other requirements.
Zhao Hao's eyes were fixed on Hideo Kojima, waiting for him to say his conditions.
Seeing Zhao Hao's appearance, Hideo Kojima didn't sell it anymore, and said directly to Zhao Hao: "I need me and my team to have enough freedom, I don't want what happened to Konami." Again, it happened to us, and that had to be written into the contract, and that was the only thing I wanted. ”
"Of course, you with your team. It's completely free, and even if I give you a project, you can decide whether to do it or not, and that can be written into the contract. Zhao Hao said to Hideo Kojima with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Hideo Kojima breathed a sigh of relief, although this was already expected by Hideo Kojima.
If you go to Nintendo. In large companies such as Sony or Tencent, it can be said that it is difficult or even impossible to win such rights and interests.
This is also one of the reasons why Hideo Kojima chose the space door.
"But I want to tell you that after I left Konami, almost half of the people in Kojima Productions under my command left the production team, and if they were to come to China, it is estimated that many people would leave, and I am confident that the team members are only a dozen or so people who came with me at the beginning." Hideo Kojima looked at Zhao Hao and said.
"It doesn't matter, if they are willing to come, then I am naturally welcome, if not, I believe that you can still build a great team on the domestic island, the second island manufacturing." Zhao Hao looked at Hideo Kojima and said.
Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Hideo Kojima couldn't help but smile as well.
That's right, if he can build a small island production team, then he can create a second island production.
It didn't take long to determine everything, and after drawing up the contract, Hideo Kojima signed his name after finding a lawyer to confirm that there were no pitfalls in the contract.
Hideo Kojima joins the space door!
Formalized!
"Welcome aboard." Looking at Hideo Kojima, Zhao Hao couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
"Now it's time for me to call you boss." Hideo Kojima also smiled.
"Actually, I've been waiting for you to join me, because I have a game planner and I want you to make it yourself, a console game." Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Hideo Kojima was a little surprised and showed a look of surprise.
Hideo Kojima naturally knows a lot about the space gate, and he also knows that it took less than a year to go from 'Minecraft' and 'Radiation' to this company.
Now Zhao Hao actually said that there is a new game plan?
In Hideo Kojima's surprised gaze, Zhao Hao smiled slightly, and then turned on the computer to show Hideo Kojima the plan of 'Grand Theft Auto' that had been sorted out before.
"It is." Hideo Kojima looked at the game plan handed over by Zhao Hao seriously, his face slowly changed, and finally his eyes were full of surprise.
But after putting it down, Hideo Kojima sighed slightly. (To be continued.) )
