Chapter 153: A Milestone That Was Chopped Up

"Comela?"

Shen Miaomiao leaned back in the boss's chair and picked up the fax on the table, a little surprised.

Cormela: She knows.

After all, it is also a comprehensive digital entertainment manufacturer that spans the East and the West, and is the world's first-line.

Naturally, she had heard of it.

In the early years, Comera started with pachinko and accumulated original capital with small steel balls.

After that, it blossomed in full bloom, starting from a small pinball game machine, and step by step opened its own grand hegemony in the game circle.

Today, Comera has become one of Neon's largest comprehensive digital entertainment manufacturers, with its main game and somatosensory cabin businesses spanning the world.

It can almost be called second only to the existence of "Yunwei-Weiwangdi" and the joint digital entertainment group.

Nowadays, Kemera plays with her left hand, and her right hand feels the cabin, and she sits down in a pachinko with a majestic style.

In Asia, it can be said that there are more than 10,000 people.

Of course.

This information was also learned little by little after Shen Miaomiao devoted herself to the game industry and became the president of Golden Wind Games.

It stands to reason that a small company like Golden Wind is not a first-class game company in China today.

Shen Miaomiao didn't understand how Kemera could find them.

"It's Director Gu,"

Chu Qingzhou, who came to report, said:

"Kemera wants Director Gu by name."

Shen Miaomiao: ......

There was silence for three seconds.

Shen Miaomiao's silver teeth bited and creaked: "Ha Ma Criticism - the little devil will not die in my heart, I will go to find Lao Shen!" This time I will ...... whatever I say."

Chu Qingzhou opened his mouth: "They came to seek cooperation......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Whatever you say, let them see what it means to be worth the money!! ”

Shen Miaomiao, who was halfway there, sat down again.

"Sister Chu Chu, can you finish the words in one go in the future?"

Shen Miaomiao took a sip of water and finally swallowed this breath.

Chu Qingzhou shrugged: "You didn't wait for me to finish." ”

"It's ...... too"

Shen Miaomiao scratched her head, then put down the fax, too lazy to read:

"So what are they looking for?"

Chu Qingzhou was also accustomed to Miaomiao's salted fish style of being lazy if he could be lazy, so he unfolded his notebook and reported:

"Two and a half months later, at the beginning of November, the Neon Tokyo Game Festival, one of the four major international game shows, will open,"

"At that time, 507 game manufacturers from all over the world will participate in this exhibition,"

"Among them, neon local manufacturers occupy half of the seats,"

"And the big brother of these neon manufacturers, Kemela, will naturally not be absent,"

"Due to the expansion of the somatosensory cabin market in recent years, and the fact that Kemera is currently the world's largest manufacturer of somatosensory cabins,"

"In this year's video game festival, Kemera will further increase the proportion of game promotion in the somatosensory cabin to 80%,"

"Shooting, racing, sports, they have all made preparations,"

"But in addition to that, they are also planning to try more in other game genres,"

"It's likeβ€”"

……

"Horror games."

Two weeks ago.

Neon Tojin Comera Co., Ltd. Building Rooftop Conference Room.

Tetsuya Moriya, who serves as the managing director of the game business of Comela, said:

"Today's somatosensory cabin market is getting wider and wider,"

"And our Kemera, as an international first-line manufacturer with games and somatosensory cabins, will naturally take the lead in this Dongjin Video Game Festival,"

"Today, the three major game categories have been developed in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the Minister of the Game Division, Uesugi Division,"

"And in addition to the three categories, I think we can also play accordingly,"

"Strive to make our somatosensory cabin game category more comprehensive,"

"After all, this time, the focus of our exhibition is the somatosensory cabin game,"

"So, I suggest we can look back and try the horror game in the somatosensory pod again."

Listening to Moriya's words, the Komera executives looked at each other and nodded.

"I think this proposal by General Manager Moriya can be discussed......

"Indeed, the degree of compatibility between the horror game and the somatosensory cabin should be very high......"

"And this time we will focus on taking care of somatosensory cabin games, and the category of horror games can indeed be considered......"

"It was a good time......

"It's also a way to enrich our game category......"

"But the problem is that in the somatosensory cabin nowadays, the reputation of horror games and the interest of players are not ideal, which is a tricky objective factor......"

"And we don't have any good horror game themes to play in our hands now......"

As the executives raised difficult objective questions one by one, everyone frowned.

Today's somatosensory cabin horror game market is not friendly, and that's a sure thing.

In this regard, they have suffered.

Since the mass production of the somatosensory cabin began, Komera has released a total of five somatosensory cabin horror games.

Two are profitable, one is not losing money, and two are losing money.

But considering that the investment in each of these five games is higher than the other.

So on the whole, they are still losing money in the field of somatosensory cabin horror games.

What do you make a profit?

This is the core of the core, and it is also the issue that President Komera Keikoshi Kamigoshi is most concerned about!

Shangyue Jingzheng is fifty-eight this year, although his body is thin, his style of action is very tough, and he pays attention to the supremacy of interests.

The way he runs the Comera is very simple -

Profitable projects are given support, and money is required to have people, but the project is not allowed to end casually, even if it is rotten, it must be squeezed out of its last vitality.

As for those projects that are not profitable and continue to burn costs.

A big word - cut!

Don't talk about artistry, am I in business for art?

It's good to applaud and applaud.

But if you have to choose one of the two.

Then Shangyue Jingzheng will definitely choose the latter without hesitation and put profit first.

And now!

Although the proposal of the managing director, Tetsuya Moriya, is very good.

But until he can guarantee a profit, he has great doubts about the project.

"So, does Moriya have a plan for the horror game?"

With the president's voice ringing!

Time!

Everyone's eyes converged on Moriya's body.

However!

Moriya was prepared!

I saw him take out a thin stack of documents from under his conference book and hand it to Shangyue Jingzheng:

"Yes, please take a look."

Taking the document handed by Moriya, Kamigoshi Jing looked intently.

This turned out to be a game project.

However, if you open the business case, you can find that it is not complete, and even has only one basic setting and structure.

I don't know if the relevant content in it is not written well or lost.

Closing the plan, Jota groaned:

"Serendo...... Hi Luo? ”

"SilentHell," Moriya nodded, "Silent Hill." ”

"This is a business plan from 10 years ago,"

Moriya said:

"Ten years ago, the TeamSilent team hosted the submission of this proposal,"

"But because we were focusing on another game at the time, we cut the budget for this game,"

"And the scale of the cost of this game was very large in the early days,"

"So, with the unanimous approval of the board of directors at that time, the project was shelved indefinitely,"

"And the main creative team, TeamSilent, was also disbanded soon after,"

"I also took a lot of effort to find this project, but unfortunately, it is only the first few pages."

After listening to Moriya's introduction, Kamigoshi Keimasa thought about it.

It's been too long.

It seems that there was such a project back then, but it didn't make any waves after all, so it was naturally cut down.

And now, Moriya has rediscovered the project.

"So," Joetsu asked, "In your opinion, this project is very promising?" ”

"It's hard to say before,"

Moriya replied:

"But now, I think it's time."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Kamiyue raised his eyebrows with interest:

"Why?"

"This," Moriya pointed to the game's keywords on the first page of the project: "adventure, horror, psychologically suggestive fear." ”

Not bad!

In this world!

Silent Hill, which was supposed to rise to fame and become a milestone in horror games, was never officially released!

By accident, it became a stepping stone for one of the game projects of Comela!

And the reason why Moriya turned it out today is for the last few words - psychological suggestive fear!

As the managing director of the game business!

Of course, Toru Moriya is also well aware of some changes in the game industry!

Among them, there is the "psychological fear" created by the wind of gold!

This idea is exactly the same as the idea of the Silent Hill Scrap Case, and it coincides!

"And, through the test of the market, the golden wind has also proved that such a game form can be torrented bravely, and when the main body of the somatosensory cabin horror game is in a bad situation, it is still applauded and popular,"

Speaking of this, Moriya opened his notebook:

"According to historical data investigation, the multiplayer online horror game "Psychophobia" brought by the wind of gold"

"The cost was paid back in a single week, and the net profit in a single month was more than twice the cost."

Moriya has been working in Komera for so many years, and he knows that it is useless to say anything, and only by putting the word 'making money' in front of Kamikoshi Jingzheng, the president will pay attention to it.

Horror game, the wind of gold did!

Psychological horror, the wind of gold tried!

You can make money!

Sure enough!

After hearing the exaggerated data that Moriya said, he saw that Kamigoshi Jingzheng's eyes lit up and he gasped!

"Heyβ€”is that the company that defeated a lot of opponents at a cost of 50 million at the Asian Games and took away the golden crown and scepter?"

"Yes,"

Moriya nodded:

"Now that someone has tried it and there are successful experiences, I think we can follow up,"

"Unite the winds of gold, and invite their soul characters to be the special guest chief game director of this project-"

……

"Work with us? And you want me to be a special director? ”

In Xiao Nezha's office, Gu Sheng smacked his lips.

Komela's invitation.

Tut.

Gu Sheng muttered a little in his heart.

He was somewhat surprised.

After all, with the current size of the golden wind and his popularity in the game circle, he should not be worthy of being favored by a world-class comprehensive super game manufacturer like Kemela.

But.

Thinking that they had once taken the Golden Crown in the hands of a number of strong Asian enemies under the attention of the whole of Asia.

It seems that it is not impossible to be able to enter the line of sight of Comela.

It's just that......

Gu Sheng was a little resistant to the company Kemela.

It's not that it's done anything to hurt him, to hurt the Golden Wind.

It's simply because of Kemera, which is too similar to the name of the Fvking manufacturer with the same surname "Ko" in his previous life!

Gu Sheng didn't have much affection for that game company.

However, such a biased judgment is unfair, and it seems that people who look at this life with colored glasses from their previous lives.

Gu Sheng grinned, his attitude a little ambiguous.

"What are they drawing?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"Cooperate in the development of games," Chu Qingzhou said, "At the Neon Dongjin Video Game Festival in early November, Kemera is preparing to restart an IP called Silent Hill and put it on the somatosensory cabin ......"

"Wait a minute,"

Without waiting for Chu Qingzhou to finish speaking, Gu Sheng raised his hand and interrupted her:

"I'm sorry Secretary Chu, you just said...... Which IP? ”

"Silent Hill,"

Chu Qingzhou repeated again:

"According to the Komera side, this is a case that they used to scrap, but now when they take it out and look at it again, it will taste a bit of psychological horror,"

"What? Have you heard of it? ”

Hiss!!!

After hearing what Chu Qingzhou said, Gu Sheng couldn't help but gasp in his heart!

I've heard more than I have heard!

This thing is in my original world, but it is on par with Resident Evil, and it definitely has a place in horror games, and it can even be called a milestone game!

Gu Sheng had muttered before, complaining that there was a Resident Evil in this world, but there was no Silent Hill.

Now it seems!

There is also a Silent Hill in this world!

Or rather, there should have been Silent Hill!

It's just that the project was shelved for various reasons!

That's really ...... Mistakes.

Gu Sheng thought secretly.

Originally, as long as there was a slight bias, the name of the founder of psychological fear should not be his own, but Kemela's.

But Komela cut down what should have been a milestone.

This is why he, a traverser, won the title of the pioneer of psychological horror with a "Ghost Phobia".

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but shake his head and laugh secretly.

In fact, strictly speaking, the work of Psychophobia does not give full play to psychological fear.

The reason why players feel terrifying is that Gu Sheng has added some flavor of Silent Hill to it, and secondly, because the game industry level in this world is higher than that of his previous life, and the innate sense of substitution in the somatosensory cabin is too strong.

That's why it's so successful.

And now!

Komela is here! Silent Hill rises up!

A world-class game company across the water came to the door and wanted to restart the IP of Silent Hill, invite Golden Wind to jointly develop it, and serve as the special chief game director!

You asked me to be Silent Hill?

Then the players are enjoying great blessings!

Gu Sheng felt that it was time for players to understand what real psychological horror was!

But!

After all, this IP belongs to Kemela's family, not the golden wind, and Gu Sheng's first impression of Kemera is slightly biased.

Therefore, before cooperating, it is necessary to negotiate the relevant cooperation rules.

It's okay to make games.

But how to do it, you have to think carefully.
