Chapter 375: Adult Games
Kentaro Miyamoto was called by Hideki Ishihara to lunch at a membership-only teppanyaki restaurant in Minato-ku. After the two met, there would be no politeness and greetings at all.
They sat side by side in front of a teppanyaki table. The chefs who stand behind the teppanyaki table are skilled at cooking for them.
Hideki Ishihara got straight to the point and said: "Minami Hamabe's agent took the initiative to find it. What she means is that she wants to have an important role in the big drama of our Xiaohe Film and Television Company and Fuji TV in the coming year. ”
Kentaro Miyamoto fully understood what he really meant, and Minami Hamabe was always his own girl, and he still needed to ask himself.
This is not a big deal, so there is no need to call yourself to Xiaohe Film and Television Company to talk, but to say it in an informal way.
Kentaro Miyamoto said lightly: "Just look at it." ”
Hideki Ishihara laughed and said, "You really understand the true meaning of investment. No wonder my dad admires you.
Once you see the investment project, and then invest the money directly, you won't take the initiative to ask more, it's just to let others do it, to make more money for you.
Presumably, the game company you invested in Chinese mainland produced "Black Myth: Wukong" can also make you a lot of money again in the future.
It is said that the game experience of the offline real machine recently made the vast majority of people present far better than expected. This game has high hopes for Chinese mainland people, and is even hailed as having the potential to become China's first truly first triple-A masterpiece. ”
Kentaro Miyamoto said with a smile: "I was able to get a compliment from Uncle Masao, one of the top ten chaebols in Japan, which really made my heart surge.
If I tell you that investing in Black Myth: Wukong, a Chinese mainland game company, is a fluke, you will inevitably call me hypocritical.
As the saying goes, people often only earn money within their personal knowledge. I love games, that's what I know.
My investment philosophy is that instead of investing in large game companies, it is better to invest in those who have worked in large game companies for many years, especially as the main planner and operator of the game...... But because of the disagreement between the game concept and the original company, the person who left and created a new game company on his own.
Back then, I invested in Hideo Kojima's studio based on this investment philosophy. Such a person's attitude towards gaming is not just about making money.
In my personal opinion, love is the most important thing. As long as you get things done, the money will come naturally. A big premise for doing this well comes from one's own love. ”
Hideki Ishihara suddenly asked with interest: "Is the collapse and bankruptcy of the 3D game production company I in Yokohama, Japan, also related to you?" ”
Kentaro Miyamoto said eloquently: "The fuse that led to the bankruptcy and collapse of the I Society this time was still infighting. The long-standing contradictions between the two sides have erupted in an unprecedented concentration.
The shareholders of I still put making money and profit first, and as the producer of I company's games, they still have feelings for games.
For the latter, even making adult games requires art and beauty. I has considerable brand influence in the industry, especially in the production of 3D beautiful girls.
It's all based on the established insistence of the game's creators. Just like the practitioners who make that kind of movie, many people have the same idea of artistry and beauty, not assembly line production.
The Italian erotic master Tindo Barras, while the Japanese erotic master is Toru Muranishi. The latter was able to emerge in the early stage, which is also based on the pursuit, not the blind thing.
Why can't Muranishi Toru in the later period? He also fell into the obsession and obsession with money, so he gave up the pursuit of perseverance.
Because the assembly line production can be the easiest, most convenient and fastest. It is not a problem to mass-produce one or even multiple films a day.
Once something becomes an assembly line production and modular production, it will inevitably make the viewers feel visual fatigue and feel more and more boring. ”
He paused at this point, picked up the water glass in front of him and took a big sip of water, and then said: "The shareholders of I Company don't pay attention to beauty, artistry, etc.
Their meaning for a long time has been very clear, as long as they can make a lot of money, no more morality, no matter how vulgar, no lower limit and so on are completely feasible.
This made the game makers of I Society very angry. As the saying goes, there is a way to steal. People who make adult games also have a bottom line that they can't touch.
I Society is a well-known game company in Japan that specializes in the production of yellow games. This is best known for the "Tail Line" series.
In Japan, this is not a crime at all, after all, the adult games produced by I Company are aimed at the needs of the adult market.
What's more, it also upholds that the games produced are not allowed to be sold or used in countries or regions other than Japan, and the official version only supports the Japanese operating system, and it is only for use in Japan.
Other countries play the games of the I Society, which are basically pirated. It's an exaggeration to say that some of the games of the I Society belong to the crime theme, and how to teach the bad guys.
American game companies have produced more crime-themed games and have a wider range of coverage. This is best known for the Grand Theft Auto series, also known as GTA. ”
Hideki Ishihara smiled knowingly and said, "You said so much, you're just confusing the public!" I don't believe that there is nothing to do with the bankruptcy of I Society and you? ”
Kentaro Miyamoto said truthfully, "The producer of the game related to the I company did come to talk to me personally. We also had frank and in-depth exchanges.
On the one hand, they need financial support, and on the other hand, they need more autonomy. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to set up a brand new game company.
Adult games are also one of the categories of games and should not be viewed with tinted glasses. What's more, I am optimistic that this market has great potential, after all, the development trend of modern society is to become more and more individualized.
There will be more and more people who like to stay at home. In addition, the technology of the I club in 3D games is also remarkable, especially in character modeling, which is more and more like a real person.
These techniques can also be used for other non-adult games. Besides, Disney is a company that generally gives everyone the feeling that it is to produce family-friendly, all-old cartoons, movies and the like.
In fact, Disney has made a lot of adult films. It's just that it's done more subtly, so that it is reflected in a different form in the company's financial statements. ”
