Chapter 251: A Friendship That Didn't Deteriorate

In mid-March, Hideki Hanyu entered Pengcheng for the second time.

This time, Kinko Egami did not come again, but the size of the staff became even larger.

Mrs. Tanaka, who hopes for her son Jackie Chan, arranged an auxiliary team of more than ten people for Yukio Tanaka, all of whom are the elite backbone of Tanaka Garment.

With the help of this large number of people, Yukio Tanaka is naturally high-spirited and ready to do a big job.

Before he entered Pengcheng, he said a lot of high-minded talk about how he was going to be.

When entering the customs, Yukio Tanaka said a bunch of words with confidence, and then saw that Hanyu Hideki did not reply.

Curiously asked, "Why is Hanyu-kun so unenergetic?" ”

"Maybe I didn't rest last night." Hideki Hanyu replied casually.

"How do I feel that Hanyu-kun was in a bad state before he got on the plane in Tokyo." Yukio Tanaka said.

"Is there one? Maybe I've been a bit busy lately. ”

Hideki Hanyu, of course, can't tell Yukio Tanaka.

Because they knew that he was leaving, the twin sisters "squeezed" him for two days.

Even if it is an iron-clad man, it is impossible to withstand it in the face of two wolf-like women.

Today, he can still stand without weak legs, but his spirit is a little poor, and he is already diligent in exercising on weekdays.

Thinking of this, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but wonder if he should take advantage of this entry to ask any famous old doctors, help him see, and then make up for it.

Although he is young and strong, no one thinks he is more fierce, right?

"Hanyu-kun has been really busy lately, and after the New Year, except for going to Uniqlo for a meeting, I haven't seen Hanyu-kun come out for activities."

When Yukio Tanaka said this, he sighed inexplicably, "Now I want to help us develop industries in China, and I won't see Hanyu-kun for a long time." ”

"Yes, Yukio-san has worked hard." Hideki Hanyu replied perfunctorily.

The main reason why he did not respond to Tanaka Yukio's bold words was that he was very optimistic about Tanaka's determination this time.

With just one passion, how long can you abandon the fancy world of Tokyo?

According to his estimates, when he returns to Neon, if Yukio Tanaka can stay for a month, even if the other party has grown.

Entering Pengcheng, everything went smoothly.

First of all, together with Yukio Tanaka, they registered Huaxia Tanaka Garment Factory, and together with a group of leaders, attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the factory.

Although its name is Tanaka Garment, Hideki Hanyu also owns nearly half of the shares.

After finishing the work of the garment factory, he also inquired about the construction of the surrounding toy yard.

Ms. Zhou, who received them, was obviously a little disappointed when she heard that it was not an electronics factory.

However, in these years, it is already good that foreign capital is willing to invest, and it is still very serious to talk about some policies for toy factory investment.

In general, the process is similar to investing in a garment factory.

After learning about the situation, Hideki Hanyu planned to return to Tokyo.

Time was too short, and he didn't have time to do anything else.

What's more, after entering Pengcheng, he knew that the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe happened to go to Yanjing to participate in the show when he came.

In this important performance, Liu Xiaoli served as the chief actress.

According to the original historical development, Liu Xiaoli naturally could not sit in this position so quickly.

After all, in the development of domestic song and dance troupes, professional ability is only a part.

Not to mention accumulating qualifications, you also need to vacate the above positions.

Other connections and leadership support are even more essential.

According to the development of the original historical time, Liu Xiaoli had to be the chief at least until the late eighties.

Naturally, Hideki Hanyu couldn't have waited that long.

And with his help, it is not difficult for Liu Xiaoli to quickly ascend to the position.

During the New Year's Eve, the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe was invited to tour in Neon.

Hideki Hanyu relied on the network of cloud entertainment to spread many press releases in the media.

It's all about touting how good and successful the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe's tour is.

The people who make public comments are basically in the neon song and dance entertainment industry, and they are all characters with heads and faces.

Neon is a commercial society, and these big names in the singing and dancing industry are not supported by the government.

Their troupe, their training classes, their studios, all need to eat.

Cloud entertainment gives some cooperation, or gives some sponsorship, so that these people can say some good things, it is not too simple.

Of course, when talking about the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe, he must find all kinds of reasons to pull Liu Xiaoli out and praise her alone.

For example, a neon song and dance artist watched the performance and finally took a photo with everyone, but in the end, the media released it only with Liu Xiaoli.

And relying only on people in the literary and artistic circles, Hideki Hanyu still feels that it is not enough.

He simply found a well-connected official from the Neon Cultural Agency.

Hiroshi Kida.

The deputy minister who selected his picture book for the "Children's Oral Health Handbook".

The one who accompanied Keiko Matsuzaka to the celebration banquet and met him at the banquet.

The other party is no longer a deputy official, but a chief official who is in charge of a part.

After Hanyu Hideki asked the other party to watch the performance, he specially arranged for a reporter to conduct an interview.

Accompanied by the Music Association, Tian Hong also said some scenes with face.

For example, cultural exchanges have been strengthened......

However, the accompanying photo is not the photo of Hiroshi Kida being interviewed.

Rather, it is a photo of Hiroshi Kida shaking hands with the actors of the Ejo Song and Dance Troupe.

Coincidentally, the photo once again chose the one that shook hands with Liu Xiaoli.

Of course, if these reports only appear in Neon China, the impact on China is very limited.

He took advantage of the situation and arranged for some media outlets to release Asian editions.

Sales were dismal and little attention, but it didn't matter at all.

All he wanted was to report it.

Then I will pick out all the relevant parts of Asia News and Neon local reports.

After intimately translating into Chinese, all of them were mailed to the reporter Li Ziliang who met in America.

Although he didn't know how reporter Li Ziliang reported these news.

But if you just look at the results, the effect is obviously better than expected.

I like to see others boast about themselves, looking at home and abroad, no matter what country people are, they are all the same.

Spending a little bit can save his woman ten years of struggle, which is simply too cost-effective for him.

The night before returning to Neon, Hideki Hanyu receives a call from Yanjing.

The beauty pisted on him in the microphone, "I really want to see you now." ”

"If the love between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight." Hideki Hanyu said.

"You always lie to me with such words." The beauty muttered over there.

"Because you like to be cheated by me." As soon as this remark came out, Hideki Hanyu didn't give the beauty time to refute, and his words changed.

"How did you perform at the show in Yanjing this time?"

"It's good, good multimedia are praising me."

When the beauty said this, she seemed to think of something and hurriedly asked.

"There have been a lot of news reports on our tour in Neon before, and a lot of them are pictures of me, is it because of you?"

"Of course, I arranged the news, and I found the people to be interviewed, and in the end, I also arranged for someone to send these news to Reporter Li."

Hideki Hanyu admitted without concealment.

The money is spent, the matter is done, and of course the beauty must be collected, otherwise what will you do so hard.

Hiding behind the scenes, that's not his style.

"Why are you doing that?" The beauty was moved, but she couldn't help but ask.

"To make you chief, of course."

Hanyu Hideki's answer made the beauty snort.

"Then you don't tell me in advance, Reporter Li is from the Xinhua News Agency, and he arranged the daily newspaper, which was finally on TV, and as soon as the news came out, the leader of the troupe found me."

"How does it feel?" Hideki Hanyu asked playfully.

"Originally, there was no me at all in this Yanjing Show, but I became the chief directly, how do you feel, everyone is talking about me behind my back."

But in the end, the beauty still said proudly, "But in this show, everyone said that I performed very well and will definitely win the award." ”

"My woman, of course that's the best." Hideki Hanyu gave a compliment.

However, in his opinion, with so much preparation he had made before, Liu Xiaoli would win 100% of the awards as long as there were no major accidents in this performance.

Of course, in front of women, this kind of thing naturally can't be pierced.

"Of course I'm good." The beauty on the other end of the phone, proudly raised her neck like a swan.

"If you win the prize, what are you going to do next?"

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's question, the beauty pride immediately disappeared, and her face was full of sadness.

"I was suddenly arranged to be the chief performer this time, which made many people in the troupe unaccustomed to it, and if I win another award, I'm afraid that the original relationship will be alienated."

As the so-called rafters rot first.

The beauty also knew her situation at this time.

Saying that, he sighed, "I don't know what to do, I'm afraid it won't be very comfortable to stay in the group in the future." ”

Although Hideki Hanyu's approach helped her, it was also pulling out seedlings.

Once she wins the award, the situation in the group will be very embarrassing.

There is no qualification to go up, and it is impossible to come down.

If you don't go up or down, your future development is doomed to be difficult.

"I have a suggestion here, do you want to listen to it?"

Hideki Hanyu said.

"Okay, you say." Beauty came to be interested.

In her opinion, Hideki Hanyu is omnipotent.

"Neon National University of Music, Tokyo University of the Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts, Graduate School of Music, and Keio University.

All four universities have neon's best dance disciplines, ballet, modern dance, jazz dance, folk dance, no matter what type of dance you want to further your education.

I'll send you a copy of the information later, so you can take a closer look and choose the one you like.

I will help you arrange the admission qualifications, and directly ask the school to send you an admission invitation, and if it goes well, you will be able to enter in September.

You can study here for two years, improve your language skills, and then study in Europe or the Americas.

When your study abroad is over, you can do it whether you want to return to China for development or join a famous overseas song and dance troupe. ”

At the end, Hideki Hanyu asked, "What do you think of my suggestion?" ”

After listening to Hideki Hanyu's words, the beauty fell silent.

Suddenly, let her leave a familiar place, go to a strange place to study, and go to a strange place to develop.

There is always a feeling of unsteadiness in my heart.

But the unprecedented life in Hanyu Hideki's words made her yearn for it very much.

If she hadn't seen the prosperity, she might have been content with the status quo.

Silently developed in the troupe, and then found a man he liked to marry.

Just like those seniors in the troupe.

On the stage, it was brilliant and gorgeous.

Leave the stage and live an ordinary life.

But because of Hanyu Hideki, she has seen prosperity, enjoyed a rich life, and heard about an unprecedented life.

Can she still be at ease and ordinary?

Liu Xiaoli didn't speak, and Hanyu Hideki didn't force it, after all, this is a choice to decide life.

He just said.

"I will send the information to Pengcheng, and when you come back from Yanjing, I will contact you here, and then I will tell me when the decision is made."

"Hmm." The beauty replied softly.

"Then that's all for today, I'll hang up the phone."

Hideki Hanyu was about to hang up the phone, but there was a beautiful woman's timid voice over there.

"Wouldn't you be angry if I didn't choose your advice."

Hideki Hanyu said softly, "As long as it's your choice, I will support it." ”

……

The next day, Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to Yukio Tanaka and left Pengcheng.

Yesterday, until she hung up the phone, Liu Xiaoli didn't make a decision.

However, in Hanyu Hideki's view, the fact that the other party did not refuse to let him send the information proves that he has been moved.

The most important thing is that whether it succeeds or not, Hideki Hanyu will not mind.

After all, he didn't think about deceiving the other party.

It's just a genuine offer of choice.

After returning to Tokyo, Hideki Hanyu immediately instructed his assistant Reiko Uemura to collect information on the four universities he had mentioned.

It is best to include not only written materials, but also a video of the teaching environment.

After sorting it out, it was sent to the team of Pengcheng Tanaka Garment.

Then Hanyu Hideki also specially contacted Yukio Tanaka and asked the other party to help prepare a video recorder in Pengcheng.

After all this, Hideki Hanyu went to Genie Entertainment for the first time, concerned about whether the development of "Super Mario Bros. " had encountered any problems.

Knowing from executive producer Yukitsugu Ryumori that everything was going well, Hideki Hanyu was relieved.

Immediately, he went to Eiri Kitahara to find out about the second Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition, which had ended.

The office of the "former president" of Genie Entertainment.

Hideki Hanyu asked Eiri Kitahara, "How did our games perform at the exhibition?" ”

Although he was curious about the situation of Nintendo's imaginary enemy.

But as the boss of Elf Entertainment, the first thing you should care about is your own club.

"The five games we launched were very popular and not ...... It should be very popular. ”

As he spoke, Eri Kitahara's face could not hide his joy.

"Kitahara-san is so happy, it seems that there should be a lot of dealers who place orders at the exhibition." Hideki Hanyu joked.

"Does Hanyu-san know what game has the most orders?"

Eri Kitahara asks a question, then looks at Hideki Hanyu, curious to see if Hideki Hanyu can guess.

Hanyu Hideki thought for a moment, a name came to mind, and then he said directly, "It's Tetromino." ”

Eiri Kitahara heard Hideki Hanyu's answer with a surprised expression.

In his opinion, shouldn't the first reaction of ordinary people answering this question be "Kung Fu 2", or a game like "Kung Fu 2"?

After all, the former is constantly eliminating, and it looks boring.

The latter is a scene of all kinds of bloody fights and violent breakthroughs.

Although Eri Kitahara didn't answer, Hideki Hanyu knew he had guessed right just by looking at his expression.

"Looks like I guessed right."

"How did Hanyu-san guess that?" Eri Kitahara asked.

Hanyu Hideki would like to say that in his previous life, the sales of the other four games of these five games together were not as many as Tetris.

Of course, the memory of his previous life, there is another reason why he judged it this way.

"Because Tetromino is not only playable, but it can also be played against two players, the arcade boss likes this kind of game the most."

"It kind of makes sense."

Eri Kitahara nodded and continued.

"The two games Tetromino and Doctor Mario are not very popular at the exhibition, but the professional reputation is the best, and the editor-in-chief of Takida also compiled a separate category for them, called puzzle games."

"How has the response been to other games?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"The hottest scene is Kung Fu 2, from the beginning to the end of the exhibition, the queue in front of several trial machines of Kung Fu 2 has never stopped."

When Eri Kitahara said this, he seemed to remember something funny.

"Players who queue up to play Kung Fu 2 even consciously formed a rule, that is, the winner of the battle can play all the time, and the loser has to line up again, and we have changed the accessories several times in a few days."

"Takashi Nishiyama is doing a great job." Hideki Hanyu said.

"Kung Fu 2" he played a trial.

On top of this sequel, Takashi Nishiyama led the team of Sacred Studios and applied a large number of mechanics from the mature fighting of later generations, which is extremely replayable.

It's no surprise that it's popular with players at all.

Thinking of this, an inspiration suddenly popped into his mind.

"Kitahara-san, I have an idea, what do you think we would do if we built a game event around Kung Fu 2, Tetromino and Doctor Mario?"

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's thoughts, Eri Kitahara was a little incomprehensible.

"Game events?"

In this day and age, the concept of e-sports has not yet been formed.

Hideki Hanyu didn't mind at all and got this idea out in advance.

Not to mention, many game companies in later generations relied on e-sports, which greatly increased player viscosity.

Let's just say that in the next few years, Nintendo will rely on the mechanism of uploading points and rankings on the disk drive, so that I don't know how many players will be addicted to Nintendo's games all day long in order to score a little high score and get a high ranking.

An open game event, coupled with monetary and honorary rewards, can't it compare to Nintendo's flawed points rankings.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu patiently explained for Eiri Kitahara.

"You can understand it this way, these three games that we have in our hands that can be played against each other are equivalent to three competitive sports, and we hold an open competition as the organizer, and the winners will give bonuses and medals and other honors."

"Hanyu-san intends to use this format to expand the reach of our game." Eri Kitahara said.

"It can be understood that the open competition is just the process, and the promotion of our game is the goal. What does Kitahara-san think? ”

"What about the scope, how big is the scope of this competition, and how does the competition work?" Eri Kitahara asked.

"For the first time, the scope is temporarily limited to the neon bar, and we can rely on the elf shows in various places.

Divisional competitions will be held first, and then the finals will be held in Tokyo.

As for the specific competition system, Kitahara-san arranged for someone to formulate it, provided that it should be simple and not too complicated. ”

Hideki Hanyu said briefly.

"I understand, when the competition system is formulated, I will let Hanyu-san pass the goal first."

After the two of them finished talking about the game competition that they suddenly proposed, the topic returned to the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition.

"Actually, the game of baregun duck hunting is also very popular at exhibitions, but most of the people who experience this game are women and children.

Although the number of orders for the light gun arcade is not the highest, because the peripheral arcade has to be purchased as a whole, the profit is the best. ”

Speaking of profits, Eri Kitahara couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Kitahara-san has never mentioned the hot-blooded hard-working, and it seems that the order volume of this game is very average." Hideki Hanyu said.

"It's a bit low, there are too many violent elements in this game, I like it very much, and I don't like it at all."

Eri Kitahara explained.

Hideki Hanyu said nonchalantly, "It's okay, we can't expect a game that will be liked by everyone." ”

The bloody game series in the previous life is a very special existence.

It's not as good as those big hits, but with a huge sequel series, it's a lot of money.

Extremely scalable, in addition to the fighting that extends out of the hot-blooded hardcore to break through the "Bloody Story" series.

Everything else can be stuffed inside. Basketball, Football, Fighting, Hockey......

Referring to "Hot-Blooded Hardcore", Eri Kitahara said another thing.

"After the exhibition, people from Nintendo came to us, and they wanted to be able to port the hot-blooded hardcore to the FC console."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu smiled interestingly.

"Is it just a hot-blooded hardcore? I think they want to use the hot-blooded hardcore as a temptation, as long as we agree to a game, the subsequent transplantation of other games will be a matter of course. ”

"I think the same way, Nintendo also launched a new game at this exhibition, similar to Donkey Kong's mode, which did not attract much attention."

Hideki Hanyu was relieved to hear that Nintendo's new game had not attracted attention.

Only then did I ask Eiri Kitahara, "How did Kitahara-san reply to Nintendo?" ”

"I said that Genie Entertainment does not accept Nintendo's royalty system, and will independently produce and sell cartridges, do not accept Nintendo's game review, and do not share cartridge copyrights, and then I will not talk about convenience."

Eri Kitahara made a helpless expression.

Hanyu Hideki laughed, "Nintendo will definitely not agree to this kind of condition." ”

Today's Nintendo only intends to rely on royalties to control the quality of the game.

But as the sales of FC consoles got better and better, Nintendo soon discovered that the royalty was faster than making money from the production of cassettes.

Later, when a number of third parties asked for relaxation of the conditions, Nintendo did not let go, not for the quality of the game, but simply for money.

After all, the quality control of FC console games is good, but to say that there is no garbage is completely nonsense.

"I didn't want to cooperate in the first place, so of course I don't need to be polite."

Eri Kitahara looked at Hideki Hanyu at this time.

"Iwata Satoshi has news from there, saying that the prototype of the GAME BOY handheld will be produced next month, and when is Hanyu-san going to leave for America."

Hearing this, Hideki Hanyu's eyes showed excitement, and then he sighed again.

"It's been a year from the design of the airframe to the official development, and it's really not easy."

Then he asked, "How's the handheld and cassette ready for production?" ”

"The cassette production is going well, and after the sales slowdown of Tuoma Gezi, our production capacity is fully able to meet the production demand.

There are also several cooperative foundries that have also placed orders in advance. ”

I heard Eri Kitahara say that Takuma Geko's sales have slowed down.

Hideki Hanyu sighed.

Since its launch, the total shipments of various versions of Tuoma Gezi around the world have exceeded 32 million units.

Neon alone contributed more than 18 million units sold.

In the next few years, neon sales should be no problem exceeding 20 million units.

But because of his own plan, plus to seize the boy's electronic pet market, he launched the second generation of PokΓ© Ball series in a short time.

Affected by PokΓ© Balls and other competing products, the sales of more than 20 million should be the limit of Tuoma Gezi in Neon.

It is certainly impossible to sell 40 million units in two years like in the previous life.

But for the sake of more important things, Hideki Hanyu doesn't regret it.

After learning about the production, Hideki Hanyu asked about something else.

"How is the game porting going, and since Kitahara-san has already contacted Satoshi Iwata, do you have any thoughts on the launch of the game?"

"The game porting is going very well, except for the joint development team, the second development team of Fantastic Studios led by Tajiri Tomo, and the third development team of Sacred Studios led by Yoshiki Okamoto, the three major studios have not carried out any new game development, and they are all working on game porting."

Eri Kitahara paused for a moment when he said this, as if he was thinking.

Then he said slowly.

"After the handheld console is released, PokΓ©mon Red Green, which was released as a third-generation electronic pet, will definitely be sold as a bundled game.

But we all know that we're not selling third-generation electronic pets.

In order for consumers to realize that they are actually buying a handheld gaming console, we also need to bundle a game.

And this game must be able to reflect the characteristics and advantages of the GAME BOY handheld. ”

Eri Kitahara looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know which game to choose.

Hideki Hanyu asked directly, "What are the games that have been transplanted now?" ”

"Kung Fu 1, Tetromino, Mario Bros." Eri Kitahara replied.

"Are there only three games?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Even if other games can catch up, does Hanyu-san plan to release them all in one go?"

Eri Kitahara asked rhetorically.

GAME BOY HANDHELD WILL NOT HAVE THIRD-PARTY DEVELOPERS ENTERING FOR A SHORT TIME.

If you have too many self-developed games in one go, you will only fight yourself and waste your market potential in vain.

"In that case, let's go for Tetromino, which has proven to be a very interesting game.

And you can also play online, which is just the right time to take advantage of the GAME BOY handheld that can be played online. ”

IN THE PREVIOUS LIFE, IT WAS TETRIS THAT BROUGHT THE GAME BOY HANDHELD TO THE TOP.

Of course, the successful experience needs to be continued.

As for Eri Kitahara, you can't launch too many games in one go.

INITIALLY, THE GAME BOY HANDHELD MARKET WAS MAINLY IN AMERIKA.

How to arrange the order of the game's release, it is best to wait until he arrives in America and discusses it with the branch people before deciding.

"Hanyu-san hasn't said yet, but when I'm going to leave for America, I'm going to check it out, so I need to prepare in advance.

There's also Tetsuya Aragaki, who is going to test the operation of the region-locking chip. ”

Regarding Eri Kitahara's inquiry, Hideki Hanyu thought about it and said.

"I don't count this matter, my new book is going to be released in early April, and the Elementary School Museum is going to arrange a tour signing, and the time has not been decided yet, so Kitahara-san should first urge the Elementary School Museum."

"Circuit signings? Hanyu-san is really a favorite for book lovers, but we are short on time, so this signing will not take too long. ”

"How to arrange it will be handed over to Kitahara-san, don't forget Kitahara-san, your current official identity is the president of Cloud Culture."

Hideki Hanyu took the opportunity to quip.

In the last discriminatory treatment incident, Eri Kitahara offered to resign voluntarily in order to achieve better results.

As a result, until now, the position of president of Elf Entertainment has been vacant.

"Of course I won't forget, Hanyu will grow ~"

Eri Kitahara also replied unconvinced.

That will grow with a long tail note, not to mention how much ridicule there is.

Eri Kitahara's voice fell, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and then laughed together.

Hideki Hanyu remembered the days when he debuted as a writer and they were bickering together when they ran publicity.

In a blink of an eye, it was more than three years.

Now it seems that the friendship between the two has not deteriorated at least because of time and status.

Thank you for the tip.

Thank you for the tip.
