Chapter 197: The Ninth Art
On the second floor of the auditorium, in the box facing the stage, there is also a group of special guests, Ren Zhengfei, Wu Yin, Ni Guangnan, Zhang Xuanlong and Huajing's Wang Zong are all here.
Chen Ming, who finished singing the first song, has already gone down, and the next person who came to the stage is Ren Xianqi, who is popular this year. His "Too Soft Heart" has sold more than 10 million copies in half a year.
With BBK's offline channels today, it is absolutely no problem to reach 20 million sales in a year.
Especially in the rental market, there is still a huge amount of data that has not been counted. It is not too much to say that Ren Xian is in the same year this year.
Besides, there will be an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala later. The director of this year's Spring Festival Gala is still Zhao An, and with his relationship with BBK, Ren Xianqi and Zhang Huimei have basically determined the quota for Ren Xianqi and Zhang Huimei to appear on the Spring Festival Gala.
"Wonderful!"
"It's deafening!" When Chu Qing went backstage to deal with it and returned here with Huang Jenxun and his entourage, who had just come to the stage, the few people waiting couldn't help but applaud and welcome.
Regardless of Lao Ren or Mr. Ni here, they may not know much about home game consoles, but they really recognize Chu Qing's last cultural export speech.
We can accept foreign culture, but we should export our own culture to the outside world, and we can't tolerate it to the end, but we lose our own roots.
"Thank you very much for your support!" In the face of everyone's compliments, Chu Qing didn't dare to take credit at all.
He just went up and put off his mouth, and his presence was the key to really supporting him in completing this plan.
Whether it is Huawei or Huajing, or Kingsoft and Sifang Software. Don't underestimate an Xbox, if you want to run completely, you can't do without any of them.
The smaller the thing, the more concentrated the technology. It is precisely because he personally participated in the whole process of Xbox's design and production that Duan Yongping knows more about Sony's strength.
In less than two years, they can come up with such a comprehensive thing through independent research and development. You can imagine how strong Sony's technology and manufacturing capabilities are.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Huang Jenxun, the CEO of Nvidia, a hardware manufacturer in the United States."
"Huang Xun, this is Huawei's President Ren, Huajing Technology's President Wang......" After a little politeness, Chu Qing began to act as an intermediary and introduced everyone to each other.
Those present are either engaged in hardware research or software development, and they can talk together to some extent. The party outside was going on, and everyone in the room was enthusiastic.
"Xiao Chu, I have a question I want to ask you." Huajing's Mr. Wang is the oldest person present.
The annual income of 60 is placed in general state-owned enterprises, which already belongs to the retirement age. But Huajing has a heavy responsibility after all, so she is still sticking to her post.
"Mr. Wang, you say!" Chu Qing still respects this old gentleman who has contributed a lifetime to self-developed wafers.
"After listening to your speech,I also agree that our culture needs to go out,Nowadays, the book invades our culture,It's really a lot.,Basically, more than half of the TV is the animation program of the book.。 But what role can this video game play in our culture going global? Besides, as far as I know, today's video games have received some people's resistance, so aren't you afraid of losing your hands if you invest so heavily in research and development? As a pioneer of the older generation, the reason why Mr. Wang raised this issue at this time is indeed because he is very optimistic about Chu Qing.
Through nearly a year of cooperation with BBK, he also saw Chu Qing's ambition. It is also the use of a large number of domestic chips, and the investment in the research and development of lithography machines.
With his support method regardless of cost, if domestic enterprises are like him, why worry about the lack of domestic technology.
However, at this important juncture of development, he invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build game consoles. This made Mr. Wang very puzzled.
Since the 80s, video games have entered the country, especially after the frantic expansion of recent years. Video games have gone from the initial puzzle attribute to the yellow dd.
In particular, the arcades that are all over the streets have even become synonymous with violence and chaos. Every time there is a big operation, the first thing to hit must be the street game arcade.
The mid-90s was the most glorious time for the domestic video game industry. It can be seen from the sales data of BBK for three years that at this time, whether it is a video game console or a game hall on the street.
It's basically the peak period. However, prosperity must decline, which is the inevitability of physical rules. After the heyday of 95-96, video games ushered in a rapid decline around 1998.
Of course, there is the popularity of computer games, but more of it is the vigorous control from the top. In Mr. Wang's opinion, don't look at the fact that the video game industry is very prosperous now, it will not be long before the state will intervene.
At this time, Chu Qing did not go to research and develop more useful things, but spent on such a doomed and promising thing, which seemed to him to be a pity.
"Mr. Wang, I know your concerns, I make video games, and I also want to prove that there are two sides to everything." Hearing Mr. Wang's concerns, he smiled slightly, and glanced at several gamers present.
The prejudice against the gaming industry has not stopped since the beginning. Not to mention domestic, there have been various malicious interpretations based on video games as early as abroad.
At that time, they were still persisting because there were two sides to everything.
"Video games, in addition to their leisure and entertainment attributes, are also a cultural carrier."
"For example, Nintendo's Super Mario, although it tells the story of a short and fat Italian plumber living in the United States, the cultural core in it sprints to the cultural essence of the book."
"And this is just an intangible cultural form, in the book of video games, there are many places that contain this kind of cultural consciousness mentality." Speaking of this, Chu Qing looked at everyone with a smile and asked a very unexpected question.
"I don't know if you know.,The video game of the book,How many countries have been exported so far.。 However, without waiting for them to answer, Chu Qing answered by himself.
"According to the statistics of the book,As of this year,A total of more than 130 countries and regions have been exported,People in many places,People in many places,You may not know China,But you must know Nintendo and Capcom。
"In this regard,Let's not talk about comparing it with the book.,It's not as good as it compared to the bend.。 Daewoo Information is a leader in this area, although their "Xuanyuan Sword" is still only sold in Asia, but I believe that as long as we persist, one day we will be able to break through the borders and go to the world. ”
"In fact, in terms of communication ability, video games are no less influential than movies and music. Some people have even called video games the ninth art. Although video games only began to be jokingly called the ninth art after 2000, it did not prevent Chu Qing from using this concept now.
"The Ninth Art?" Equating video games with art was something that everyone present did not expect.
"Well, as you all know, literature, music, dance, painting, sculpture, theater, architecture, and film are collectively known as the eight major arts."
"Video games, on the other hand, are new artistic innovations based on the original."
"Video games look simple, but there's so much to be done. Presumably, some of the people present will know very well. Saying that, Chu Qing looked at Li Yongjin on the side.
"It's a big game, and it's a big game that encompasses literature, music, painting, and other art forms. Take our Xuanyuan Sword, for example, we designed several editions of text editing alone. In addition, many sets of clothing paintings are also designed, which basically completely restore the appearance of the clothes of that era. When it comes to his own work, Li Yongjin is also the leader.
"Especially today's video games, with the addition of programming and intelligent computers, as the technology matures, the more possibilities there are for video games in the future, and one day they can even create a world on their own." On the road of video games, in fact, the innate conditions are not worse than others, rather than being afraid because of ignorance, it is better to open a window for them in advance.
Video games didn't get rid of until 2021
The title of "electronic opium" has reached the height of culture, and we have wasted 20 years in the middle. It is also more than twenty years behind.
This time, Chu Qing wants to personally prove for video games that even opium can be a good medicine as long as it is properly regulated.
Chu Qing's argument of combining video games and cultural forms was unexpected by many people present.
As Chu Qing said, everyone often looks at unknown affairs, the first impression is very important, and the vision is also very one-sided.
But as long as you look at it in a different direction, you can indeed dig out the other side of the meaning of affairs.
"Or you young people can see farther!" After listening to Chu Qing's explanation, Mr. Wang was also somewhat convinced.
Those who can engage in chip scientific research are not brainless. He was also worried because of his lack of knowledge about video games.
In terms of culture and ideology, the state attaches great importance to it. If they can really believe this argument, maybe the video game industry will grow tremendously in the future.
"Indeed, if you don't say that the future belongs to young people. Xiao Chu is still very good, "The old man who is over fifty years old is also the big brother present."
patted Chu Qing's shoulder affectionately, his eyes full of appreciation.
"If it weren't for him getting married early, I really want to introduce my eldest daughter to him too."
"Speaking of marriage, Xiao Chu, I want to criticize you, you don't invite us to the full moon wine." Lao Ren seemed to think of something, and looked at everyone with envy.
"This guy is also really capable, killing two birds with one stone, and directly gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses."
"The dragon and phoenix fetus are good! Chu Dong had both children at a young age. ”
"I also wanted a son and a daughter, and I gave birth to two troublemakers."
"So, it's up to you to have a baby." With the big brother Ren gaging in the present, everyone lost a lot of points for a while.
With the help of children's topics, they were discussed. And at this time, the party outside has reached the halftime.
Now singing on stage is Zhang Huimei, the champion of this year's "The Voice of China". As the champion of The Voice of China this year, her popularity is not low at all.
Although the album sales are not as high as the second place Ren Xianqi's "Too Soft Heart", it has also sold 5 million copies in three months.
At the moment, she is singing the title song of this year's album "So You Don't Want Anything".
"I don't want your promise, I don't want you forever, as long as you really love me once, even if it's vanity, greed, or greed, I'm most afraid that you will take silence as an answer to me" As soon as the chorus was sung, the two episodes of the scene once again opened the chorus prelude.
After singing two sentences along with Zhang Huimei on the stage, she could only helplessly hand the microphone below and look at them with a smile.
At this moment, she is happy and happy. Coming to The Voice of China and joining BBK Music is also the most correct decision she has made.
It's just different from Zhang Huimei, who is happy and satisfied on stage. Zhao An, the director + producer in front of the monitor, was very distressed.
Although the program form of "The Same Song" was proposed by Chu Qing, it was also sponsored and supported by BBK.
can be used as the first episode of the show, and such a strong lineup will be taken, which will make him do in the future.
Looking at the lists that have already played, Chen Ming, Ren Xianqi, Chen Xing, Zheng Yun, and Zhang Huimei. In the future, there are Li Chunbo, Mao Ning, and Xu Wei waiting.
Each of them here can be said to be hot superstars in the mainland music scene today. Among them, there are four albums that have sold tens of millions, and half of them have won the top ten golden songs.
The worst Zheng Yun, the album sales have also sold more than five million. With the quality of this episode, he is definitely not worried about the ratings.
But in the first episode of the show, the forced grid was raised so high, if the cast is too far apart in the future, this show is probably impossible.
It's just that he doesn't know that today's lineup may be a bit luxurious in the eyes of the outside world. But inside backgammon, it looks a little average.
After all, every year at the company's annual meeting or large-scale event, aren't they all these people? Especially Chen Ming and Xu Wei's rotten garlic.
When backgammon was still in that small place in Chang'an, it was a few of them who were performing on stage. Unexpectedly, after three years, they are still there.
Even if they sing well, many old employees are a little tired of watching it. In this way, it's not that there are no newcomers in backgammon today.
Now BBK records can be described as full of talent. There are more than a dozen first-line famous artists alone.
There are four albums that have sold tens of millions. Chen Ming, Mao Ning, and Li Chunbo are adding this year's new Ren Xianqi.
Compared with the outside world's sales of 5 million, you can brag about it, and the sales of BBK albums are tens of millions, which is the real line.
In addition to these head artists, BBK has also trained and recruited many songwriters and screenwriters. There are generous sharing conditions, and even some songwriters from other companies are willing to help BBK write songs.
After all, the more albums sell, the higher the share. Compared with the one-size-fits-all buyouts of other companies, writing songs for backgammon is a meal ticket that can last a lifetime.
