Chapter 4: The Sony Man

During the negotiations between the two sides, Sony's Tokyo headquarters also made a countermeasure.

The next day, 10 a.m.

On the first floor of a venue center in H City, about two dozen reporters were waiting in the venue, ready to do this interview.

The purpose of these people is not Unigroup, but Blizzard from the United States, for whom Blizzard's gimmick is more attractive to readers.

Of course, Unisplendour, which has been boiling on the Internet recently, is also among their interviews, and a considerable number of people are quite interested in the rise of this little-known small company.

"Xiao Chen, debug the machine and try if there is any problem with the microphone."

"Zhao Tou, this is the question I want to interview, you can take a look."

Some experienced veteran reporters, with a few apprentices who have just left the house, are imparting some points and experiences that need attention.

"It's okay, you pay attention to take a few more photos of the boss of Unisplendour Software, I heard that he looks like a big star."

"I see."

More than 20 reporters have given enough face to a newly established company like Unisplendour.

Five minutes later, Zixia walked onto the podium, and along with Blizzard's creative director Wilson, the surrounding reporters were shocked and began to shoot, Zixia glanced at the people in the audience and began to introduce this cooperation.

The reporters had already investigated the contents, but they still faithfully recorded them with cameras and voice recorders, and were ready to go back and sort them out.

Zixia's introduction is very simple, talk about the basic information of the company's establishment, talk about cooperation and related technologies, and the rest is nothing, it only occupies less than two minutes, and the rest is given to Wilson.

"Ladies. Gentlemen, I have to admit the correctness of my trip to China, we finished talking about cooperation yesterday, and then in just one night, Unisplendour Software gave me a surprise again, they spent one night to produce a CG work. ”

Wilson had a hint of emotion on his face, and as soon as they met this morning, Zixia showed him a video. It was last night that the company's employees worked overtime to make a system, which gave Wilson an unparalleled shock.

One night, one work, what kind of speed is that?

From finishing to post-editing. The high requirements of CG itself are destined to make it impossible to make zuò at will, but this section of the Unigroup software. Fully compliant with Wilson's requirements. And Zixia is also very "modest", if they are polished for a period of time, they can do better.

Hearing Wilson's words, the reporters in the audience talked a lot, and then saw the big screen on the rostrum and began to play a CG.

On the animation, there is the logo of Unisplendour Software. Then there was a vast land, and among the reporters present, many of them were loyal players of Blizzard, and they immediately exclaimed when they saw this scene.

"World of Warcraft!"

Background on animation. It is a style unique to World of Warcraft, and many familiar buildings make these reporters boil.

"That's Thunder Bluff! And the Dark Door, that black trace, should be the mark of death! ”

The camera flashed a few game scenes in a flash, and the picture quality was extremely clear and realistic, telling these reporters that this was not a screenshot from Blizzard's game. Then the camera turned and appeared on a calf-deep grassland, at this moment it was raining heavily, and the grass quickly gathered puddles, but in the rain, there were countless burning meteorites falling from the sky, and the earth was constantly trembling.

Green-skinned orcs, strong humans, dwarves, draenei, blood elves, night elves...... Countless warriors of the tribe and alliance rushed out and fought together on this battlefield, and the earth-shattering roar made people's blood boil.

Then, in the distant sky, a huge shadow suddenly appeared, the surrounding air seemed to be cooling down rapidly, and thin snowflakes appeared on some people's faces, and just when everyone present was expecting the super boss to appear, the animation suddenly went black and was finished!

pinched hard before reaching the climax, making people almost suffocate to death in the chest with a mouthful of hot blood.

"I'm @#¥#!"

These reporters couldn't help but burst into a foul language, and they were about to see the climax, but the animation ended! I don't know how many reporters have the urge to vomit blood, Unisplendour Software is definitely deliberate, this trick is too ruthless.

Wilson looked at the reporters in the audience with a sympathetic expression, and then Zixia showed an "embarrassed" smile and said:

"Last night was too short, for the sake of quality and speed, we can only make zuò here, I'm sorry."

Zixia blinked, and all the reporters in the audience had black lines on their faces, it was obvious that this female president who looked like a big star was not an ordinary black belly.

Of course, Zixia deliberately cut off the film before the climax came, just to fish for the appetite of these reporters, and the appearance of these reporters also achieved Zixia's goal, so that these reporters can remember Ziguang software and quickly become famous.

"I'm the same as everyone else, although I have a very unhappy appetite when I am caught, but we can't help it, after all, it only took one night for Unisplendour Software, so we can't force it, I just hope to see Blizzard's new CG soon, I can't wait."

Wilson expressed his idea, which was echoed by everyone present.

The strength of Unisplendour Software has conquered everyone present, followed by the signing stage of the press conference, Blizzard and Unisplendour have already negotiated the content of the cooperation, and only need to sign it again, and the legal document can take effect.

After signing, it was time for questions and answers, and the reporters raised their hands, hoping to be the first to ask questions.

Zixia clicked on one casually, this reporter's first question was not about the company, but about Zixia's appearance.

Crying and laughing perfunctory this question, Zixia continued to ask questions, and most of the subsequent reporters gathered on the production of Ziguang Software Company, it is rumored that Ziguang Software has developed a very powerful software to do this.

Zixia nodded with a smile, signaled all the reporters to be quiet, and then pressed a few times on the notebook next to her, and a piece of software operation interface appeared.

"Now I would like to introduce to you that the purple software developed by us, it covers all the products on the market, animation, CG software more than 95% of the functions, very comprehensive, currently not for sale, limited to the company's use, if there are customers who need to find a production system, please place an order in advance, because a few minutes ago, EA is the American electronic arts company we are familiar with, sent us an invitation to cooperate......"

"Miss Li Ziyu, I must insert a sentence here, we Blizzard came before EA, and we must complete our work before EA."

EA's sideways kick was something Wilson didn't expect, and Zixia didn't expect it before, she also received a call from EA before she took the stage, and wanted to discuss cooperation, so she put it at the back of the press conference and announced it as an easter egg.

Sure enough, the addition of EA made Wilson and these reporters feel like chickens, and they were immediately excited, not to mention anything else, just by virtue of Unisplendour Software Company, which directly entered the two major game companies in the United States, Blizzard and EA, they have proven their strength.

Blizzard does not have as many games as EA, but in terms of the results of a single game, EA is not comparable to Blizzard.

Define the strength of EA and Blizzard, can not be compared from one aspect alone, if only from the size of the company, revenue, etc., or EA is strong, EA produced and represented games are quite comprehensive, Spore Evolution, FIFA, NBA, Medal of Honor, Need for Speed, Sims, Sims.......

It is precisely because of this that the emergence of EA gave Wilson a faint sense of crisis in his heart.

In the past, it was Unigroup and Sony competing for Blizzard's place, but now it has become Blizzard and EA competing for the place of Ziguang, one master at a time, and the situation is very different.

The next situation was very satisfying, Zixia successfully made a name for itself in Unigroup, and Wilson also gained the cooperation of Unigroup, and because Blizzard was the first customer, he promised to give priority to Blizzard in some aspects, such as completing the ...... of Blizzard's work before EA released CG.

Don't look at it as just a time difference, Blizzard and EA have been fighting against each other a lot, and they are strong competitors even if they are not mortal enemies.

Now Wilson has quietly changed his mind in his heart, he is thinking about one thing, if Unisplendour Software really has this potential, then it can be seen that it is not only Blizzard and EA, but also other well-known game companies, such as Nintendo, Ubisoft (Ubisft, the one that developed Assassin's Creed).......

In terms of games, Japan is also extremely developed in this regard, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and so on There are many games, in fact, many Japanese companies do not reject China, except for some extreme people, if Ziguang really develops, presumably these Japanese game companies will not be stingy with their wallets, let alone watch a lot of money fly away.

Soon, Wilson, who was flying back to the United States, reported to Blizzard President Mike with a lot of concern, and as he expected, shortly after the press conference, Sony, who was far away in Japan, also watched the press conference, and then convinced himself of a certain decision.

A call from Sony went directly to Zixia's office, and after Zixia picked it up, the voice on the other end of the phone made her a little stunned.

"Hello, I'm Hideo Fukuda, Vice President of Sony Corporation's Tokyo Headquarters, I just finished watching your company's press conference, I'm very interested in your products, and I want to talk to your company about the acquisition......" (To be continued......)
