0113 Second game?
ββ¦β¦ Chu Jun is really a hero since ancient times, and the virtual reality game produced by your company is an eye-opener.
After playing your company's "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", the contemptible heart is full of excitement - perhaps this game is the first ray of life for virtual reality games.
If we persist in developing on this path, one day we will be able to get rid of the keyboard, mouse and controller of the game operation, let the characters in the game jump off the screen, sublimate the small game into a virtual world experience, and create an infinite fantasy world for the human beings living on this small blue planet!
It's ridiculous that you named your company 'Fantasy Unlimited' precisely because you share the same ideals. β
On the second night of Winter Comi, in the reception room of the old Japanese-style mansion of the Tianwang Zhou family, Ning Ning translated the humble speech of the president of Sony Computer Entertainment SCE to Chu Fang at an almost simultaneous level.
Although Ning Ning's translation fully met the three requirements of "letter, reach, and elegance", which made Miss Sugita Hotaru, who was also the translator, sigh to herself, but she always felt a little awkward in Chu Fang's ears.
"Ahem...... I say...... Why does your translator smell of "News Network" and "People's Daily"? Isn't it okay to speak normally? β
The other party's words are quite solemn and formal, and if you want to translate it with meaning, of course, this is the taste.
Do you think that a big president would talk like a child like you? β
"Hey...... Anyway, I'm also a president in terms of status, and although the size of the company is different, it's equal in status. Otherwise, the other party will not come to negotiate with me in person. β
In front of a middle-aged Japanese man in a suit or fifties, Chu Fang and Ning Ning habitually stumbled again. The visitors on the other side, however, were all very self-contained, and did not show any disdain for the two young men, who were not yet twenty years oldβbut perhaps they were simply hiding this affection in their hearts.
The main guests who came to visit tonight were the president of SCI. Yoshiki Tanaka, the author of "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes", and the vice president of Bothtec, the owner of the game rights, are supplemented, and the introduction is the vice president of the Kadokawa Group's ASCII~Media~Works publishing house, accompanied by Miss Hotaru Sugida and others, and the specifications can be said to be quite high.
And on Chu Fang's side, in addition to him and Ning Ning, there is only the landlord of Tianwang Zhou Shenna, who is wearing a plain kimono, and the three of them are all 18 years old, one or even two generations lower than each other in terms of generation, not to mention shopping malls and social experience. Almost as soon as he came up, he was completely suppressed by the other party, otherwise Ning Ning would not have been able to stumble with Chu Fang on such an important occasion.
If it weren't for the fact that Tianwang Zhou Shenwu put a coffee table in the middle of the two sides, and presented brown rice tea, immortal shells, and oranges, turning the formal meeting occasion into an ordinary family routine, so that Chu Fang and Ning Ning, who didn't know how to sit at all, could talk to the president of SCE more casually, and now they would definitely be suppressed even more by the other party.
Think about it, if both parties sit in accordance with Japanese etiquette, then the young people must have the feeling that they are being lectured by their parents, right? What's more, for the Chinese people, who have long been out of fashion to kneel, kneeling and talking to each other are psychologically dwarf-even if the other party is also kneeling.
"Ahem......"
The way of stumbling over the mouth slightly vented some tension after xΓΉ. Chu Fang cleared his throat and replied with a gentle smile:
"Thanks to the president, this small company of mine was built out of interest - just like signing up for a cosplayer.
The same goes for the 'fanjin' game that developed Legend of the Galactic Heroes, which was purely out of interest. It is to participate in the 'holy war', but the company has limited manpower and the progress is too late. So I can only release a demo version at this year's Winter Comi.
Although there are some copyright issues with this game, I guess you didn't ask Mr. Tanaka to come with you to ask me about the guilt, right? β
After Chu Fang finished speaking. He smiled and waited for Miss Hotaru Sugita, who was kneeling behind several "big guys", to translate his words.
The president of SCE also brought Yoshiki Tanaka, who is already in his sixties, over, although it can be said that it was a "surprise" prepared considering that Chu Fang was likely to want to get in close contact with the idol in his mind. But it was also showing him the energy of Japan; And Chu Fang's statement is to sue the other party, he just makes a homo game out of interest, whether it's the copyright or his own small broken company, he doesn't care, if you want to cooperate, you have to give him satisfactory conditions.
As for the genius programmer who wrote the speech recognition and AI part of this game using Chinese programming software...... As long as the other party has a little brain, he can guess that he must have been firmly grasped by Chu Fang in the palm of his hand, and it is even possible that he did not work in Chu Fang's game company at all, and he wanted to bypass Chu Fang and find that person directly...... It is not possible in a short period of time.
"Huh...... Mr. Tanaka, of course, doesn't mind the copyright issue of fanworks.
Before I invited him to Tokyo, I asked him to try out your game, and Mr. Tanaka was very interested in your game, so I wanted to come and meet you, and I would like to discuss the content of the official version of the game with you in detail, otherwise I would not have been able to force Mr. Tanaka to come over.
I would like to take this opportunity to show my sincerity and establish a further partnership with you, inviting you to port this game to Project Morpheus.
- Of course, it would be nice if you were willing to share the core technology of the game with Sony, or even sell all the technology to us, but I don't think you're going to do that. β
This time, Ning Ning's translation became a lot more pleasant, but this way of speaking did sound a little too young and casual, which was a little inconsistent with the image and temperament of the president of SHE, but Chu Fang made do with it and didn't give Ning Ning any more advice.
"If you can get the copyright, of course it's okay to support Morpheus.
I would also like to thank Mr. Tanaka for his attention, "Legend of the Galactic Heroes" is a work that I really like, and if I can make the game better under Mr. Tanaka's guidance, of course I can't ask for it. β
Under the "frankness" of the president of SCE, Chu Fang also happily agreed to his request for platform transplantation, but completely ignored the other party's temptation to share core technology or even sell technology.
And as a strong party that can wait for others to take the initiative to come to the door, Chu Fang can not just use a literary work that is classic, but has no popularity in the game, and then he put forward a request that was unexpected by the president of SCE:
"In fact, the demo version I released on Winter Comi was originally intended to attract the attention of major game companies, and it was a surprise that the first person to show interest and sincerity was a big company like Sony.
The reason I wanted to attract the attention of the major game companies was not to sell the technology I had, but to work with one or more companies - for my second game. β
"Second game?"
The president of SCE leaned forward slightly, as if he was very interested in the second game in Chu Fang's mouth, whether he was really interested or not, as long as he could continue to listen to Chu Fang.
"Speaking of which, the second game I envision has a lot to do with copyrights, especially the manga and light novel copyrights held by Kadokawa's publishing houses.
In addition, the game rights held by various game companies, Sony Pictures Entertainment Co., Ltd. and other Hollywood companies also need movie rights. β
"So much copyright? Can you tell me more about your plans? β
As soon as Chu Fang came up, he opened his mouth, which really startled the president of SCE and the two vice presidents of Bothtec Company and ASCII Publishing House, and even Yoshiki Tanaka, who had always been half-squinting, opened his eyes and stared at him with interest.
Yoshiki Tanaka has a deep dabble in ancient Chinese literature, and has also written many novels based on Chinese history, and has also compiled historical works such as "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Biography of Yue Fei", "Romance of the Yang Family", "The Voyage of Zheng He", and the pro-Chinese tendencies expressed in his works are extremely obvious, but this does not mean that he must like all Chinese people.
In fact, he was hurriedly pulled over as a mascot by the behemoth of Sony, and he still felt a little displeased, after all, his status in the literary world is extremely high, and Chu Fang, under the recommendation of Sony, took the game to visit him in person...... It's too cheap.
However, the virtual reality glasses and games that Sony brought to Yoshiki Tanaka also made him realize why such a large company as Sony would attach so much importance to a young Chinese man who had just entered college, and he himself took this reason as a step, and accepted Sony's invitation decently and came to Tokyo to meet Chu Fang in person.
But after seeing Chu Fang, he has always been squinting his eyes on the ground, as if he doesn't care about the surrounding qiΔ, this is because he has resentment, and the second is because Chu Fang is just an ordinary young man with a decent appearance and temperament on the surface, and he is not a young hero who deserves his "condescension" and takes the initiative to visit.
-- But the two girls with him were very nice, and even if they were just standing next to them without saying a word, the spirit was as different as a firefly in the night.
But now it seems that maybe he, an old man, has unconsciously put on colored glasses when he looks at this young man because of his affection? So let him polish his faint old eyes now and take a good look, whether this young man is unashamed or hidden! (To be continued......)
PS: The first chapter is late, and the second chapter will naturally be later, but it will definitely be sent out before 9 o'clock.
