684 Sega Rise
In another time and space, perhaps "The King of Fighters" is not the most popular fighting game, after all, there were many similar games such as "Street Fighter" and "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" before it.
But this is not the case these days, and the only slightly decent competitor in the world is the original Street Fighter. The first generation of Street Fighter was extremely flawed, and some of the critically acclaimed game characters such as Chun-Li were not born, but "The King of Fighters" directly launched a more perfect version, which is simply a solitary rhythm in the fighting game genre.
In addition to the content of the game, there is also the advantage of hardware, "The King of Fighters" uses a new 16-bit arcade motherboard developed by Sega. This is the only one in the world that has no other branch, not to mention that Capcom of "Street Fighter" can't be compared, and even the 16-bit console of Nintendo, the boss of the game industry, is still slowly developing.
The application of 16-bit arcade motherboards has made Sega's "The King of Fighters" a qualitative leap compared to Capcom's "Street Fighter", both in terms of screen color and background scrolls.
What does this mean?
It's not just "The King of Fighters" that is a game hit, but the beginning of a comprehensive replacement of arcade game motherboards. With the advent of 16-bit arcade machines, the original 8-bit motherboard arcade machine was like a piece of, and game halls around the world replaced Sega's new motherboards, while other companies' arcade titles were squeezed out of the market at once.
Although Sega is not as good as Nintendo in home game consoles, it has always had an advantage in the arcade sector, and now it is the first to develop a 16-bit arcade motherboard, which instantly seized more than 80% of the arcade market share in the world.
And that's not all. Sega's 16-bit home game console was also released after New Year's Day, and it fought with several of the best-selling Nintendo game consoles on the market, snatching a few pieces of fat from Nintendo's mouth.
Just in terms of today's market share. Sega is already the world's second-largest game company, and with this momentum, it seems that it is not impossible to surpass Nintendo.
However, things are not so simple, the 16-bit game console developed by Sega is only the first generation, and it will take at least two or three years for it to really mature and popularize. In the past two or three years, Nintendo can catch up with the technological gap, or even surpass Sega. After all, Nintendo's 16-bit machine has already begun to be developed, but it was preemptively introduced by Sega.
Kang Jian flew in the depths. Shenzhen's game console foundry, now several production lines are in full swing. The production of the Sega 16-bit home game console is sold worldwide and has become a deep. A major earner of foreign exchange in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
Sega's profits have multiplied several times in just two months, and the complacent Hayao Nakayama is planning to list Sega, and the money from the listing will be used to spread Sega's stalls around the world.
As a Japanese game magazine commented: Sega has changed the game market landscape. The advent of the 16-bit console was a major innovation in the history of video games.
In the original plane. If it weren't for Nakayama's own death, Sega might have been able to surpass Nintendo. The company used the money earned from the game to repair Sega's theme parks, amusement parks, and real estate and other messy businesses, and finally broke the company's capital chain and had to sell the company in a package.
Although in the end, Hayao Nakayama used the golden cicada to get out of the shell and reborn Sega, but since then Sega has been no longer brilliant.
……
Queen's Theatre.
In the first scene of the official release of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", Liu Zhenwei brought his good friend Wong Kar-wai closer to the cinema. Liu Zhenwei himself is a comedy. And the style is close to nonsensical, he must watch the movies directed by Kang Jianfei and starring Stephen Chow.
In fact, a closer look at Hong Kong movies will know. Some classic movies, all kinds of scenes in them have been borrowed from later works, and even mainland films are still in use twenty or thirty years later.
The king of sunglasses has been wearing sunglasses all day at this time, and the sunglasses were given by his wife Chen Yijin (TVB's part-time program and director). The original reason was that Wong Kar-wai often stayed up late to write scripts, and his wife gave him sunglasses to cover his dark circles, which became a habit over time, and now he even has to wear sunglasses for afternoon tea.
Only when watching a movie, Wong Kar-wai will take off his sunglasses.
"Guess what Kang Jianfei will shoot "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" this time?" After Liu Zhenwei sat down in the screening room, before the movie started, he casually chatted with Wong Kar-wai.
Wong Kar-wai looked at the full screening hall, and even the rotten seats in the first row were full, not only envious of the box office of Kang Jianfei's films. Wong Kar-wai has been in the Hong Kong film and television industry for almost 10 years, and he has basically been writing scripts for others before, and last year he finally raised his eyebrows and made a "Mong Kok Carmen", which not only sold more than 10 million at the box office in the ordinary schedule, but also won 7 Academy Award nominations.
Some people compare Wong Kar-wai, who was in the limelight last year, with Gao Zhisen, but compared with Kang Jianfei, Wong Kar-wai feels the gap all the time.
Hearing his old partner's question, Wong Kar-wai said: "Kang Jianfei made the old film "A Chinese Ghost Story" difficult to surpass, and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is also a classic old film and folklore. If he hadn't asked Stephen Chow to be the leading actor, it would definitely be another love classic. But since it's Stephen Chow, it must be a crazy style. ”
"Maybe Stephen Chow will act in a drama." Liu Zhenwei said with a smile.
"Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" had a test screening a few days ago, but neither of them went to see it, and they didn't want to watch the movie reviews in advance, so they came to try it fresh today.
"If it's a drama, then why should the actor choose Stephen Chow. Alas, Hong Kong has always been a comedy market, and Kang Jianfei made "Tang Bohu" into a comedy, which is the most correct choice from the perspective of commercial interests. Wong Kar-wai said with emotion. Although this director never wanted scripts, he wrote countless scripts, some of which were comedies. Everyone is here to make money, it doesn't matter if art is not art, Kang Jianfei's "Fangfang" won the grand prize at Cannes, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" is also considered a generation of classics, and no one doubts Kang Jianfei's level of filmmaking.
After the opening of DreamWorks, a group of people grab waste paper from the garbage basket outside the Tang Mansion. uses exaggerated techniques to show Tang Bohu's awesomeness. Then Tang Bohu held a brush in his hand, and his expression was focused on spilling ink......
"Poof!"
"Hahahaha......"
Just over 10 seconds after the start of the feature film, the audience's burst of laughter rang out in the theater.
Even Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai couldn't help but laugh. Although they knew it was a comedy, they were amused when they saw Tang Bohu, played by Stephen Chow, seriously smearing chicken wings with a brush dipped in soy sauce.
From this moment on, the laughter in the screening room hardly stopped, and there was a burst of laughter in an average of about 5 minutes.
Nonsensical comedies don't need any connotation, and they don't need any logic. If you can amuse people, you are qualified, and it will not make people feel that the movie ticket is spending unjust money.
"Chen Baixiang is really cheap."
"Yuan Danqiong is really open-minded, she used to be very young and beautiful when she acted in TV series. actually made up and played a big ugly girl. ”
"Stephen Chow's selling himself made me laugh to death."
"The heroine is very beautiful, why haven't I heard of it before?"
"That actress is from the mainland, her name is Gong Li."
"As soon as I arrived in Hong Kong, I became a 'flying girl', does this Gong Li have any background."
"Who knows. may have a leg with Kang Jianfei. ”
"I think it's possible. Fei Ge is really called a merry talent, last year Li Jiaxin, Guan Zhilin and Wang Zuxian competed for favor, it seems that there will be a few more jealous women in the future. ”
"Flowery!"
"If you are jealous, you will say that if you can't eat grapes, you will say that grapes are sour."
“……”
Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai walked out of the screening hall, listening to the discussion of the audience around them, and they were extremely moved and speechless. As a director, the lace scandal is actually talked about, and it can be regarded as reaching a certain realm.
The two did not go home directly after watching the movie. Instead, I drove to eat food stalls.
Wong Kar-wai's new film "The True Story of A Fei" has been prepared, and he will officially start shooting after participating in the Academy Awards. Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai talked about "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" for a while. began to discuss some things about "The True Story of A Fei", none of them expected that the box office of this movie would make Deng Guangrong so angry that he would be hospitalized next year.
Just as they were about to have supper, a couple of teenagers came to the food stall, sat down next to them to order food, and then began to talk.
"Brother Ji's Athena Mamiya is too powerful, after a set of combos, that kid's Clark will directly lose blood, and he will directly wear three and fight to win."
"That's it, that kid actually dared to play "KOF" with Brother Ji, it's just that there is a lot of money and nowhere to spend, who doesn't know that Brother Ji's Athena Central is the first."
"Meaningless, let that kid win him with one hand."
"I heard that there is a guy in Xihuan who is very powerful, what is the self-proclaimed Hong Kong No. 1 Li Qinglong, or Brother Ji, you use Athena Magong to teach him to be a man?"
"Which bastard jumps so much, and actually says that Hong Kong is the first? Lao Tzu is only the first in Central. ”
“……”
Wong Kar-wai listened for a long time and didn't understand, and asked, "What are they talking about?" ”
"KOF, an arcade game in Hong Kong, is also known as The King of Fighters and The King of Fighters, and both Li Qinglong and Athena Asamiya are characters. ”
As soon as Wong Kar-wai heard that it was an arcade game, he lost any interest, and was about to pay the bill and leave, but Liu Zhenwei spoke: ""The King of Fighters" is not only very popular in Hong Kong, I heard that it has swept the whole of East Asia, how about we make him into a movie?" ”
"If the game is really that popular, it's a good idea to make a movie." Wong Kar-wai said.
Liu Zhenwei frowned and said: "It's a pity that this game belongs to Kang Jianfei's company, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the movie copyright." ”
"Why is it related to Kang Jianfei?" Wong Kar-wai said in surprise. If it is a game of any foreign company, then most Hong Kong directors will not pay copyright fees when making a movie, and it is not in one country who cares so much about you. But if it is Kang Jianfei's company, then the flowers that are taken indiscriminately without consent must be prepared for a lawsuit.
Liu Zhenwei smiled bitterly: "Not only is it related to Kang Jianfei, but this game is planned by him, the comic of the same name is so popular in Hong Kong that it is about to catch up with "Dragon Tiger Gate". I don't know where he got so much energy, making movies and drawing comics, and now he even has arcade games. (To be continued......)
