"What? Ghibli actually teamed up with Pokeni? ”

"Did I hear me right?"

Ghibli invited Pokeni to make the game, and Pokeni invited Hayao Miyazaki to be the painting supervisor, and the news spread widely in both the game and animation circles, even unrelated circles.

In the end, it naturally spread to the big boss of Ren Heaven, Yamauchi Pu.

When he saw the news, Yamauchi couldn't believe it, and his lungs were about to explode.

"It is said that Miyazaki took the initiative to find Qing Chiyuan." Shigeru Miyamoto added a sentence next to him.

"Qing Zhiyuan? That's the Qing Zhiyuan? Can Hayao Miyazaki take a fancy to him? Yamauchi's shock was completely written on his face.

Hayao Miyazaki, who is notoriously stubborn, if not a little conservative, has always been a dislike of games, and has refused numerous requests to gamify Ghibli's animation.

Otherwise, how much money does Ghibli have to make now?

But if you think about it, Miyamoto Shigeru said that it is more likely.

If it weren't for Miyazaki's own willingness, who would be able to move him?

But when he thought that even a master like Miyazaki had fallen to Qing Zhiyuan, Yamauchi Pu hated it so much.

Originally, he didn't take Pokeni very seriously before this, just such a small company, without the support of Ren Heaven, how big a wave can it make.

Hey, he really turned it up.

Other games are fine, but since Pokémon was released, Pokeni has not only made a name for itself in the gaming field, but has also led to the cooperation between Sony and Sega.

After the GP handheld came out, it hit the hearts of gamers at once with its ultra-high gaming performance, rechargeable battery, and lightweight body, and color screen.

Since the beginning of last year, the sales of GP handheld phones in Europe and the United States have reached a staggering 20 million copies, of which more than 3 million have been contributed by Pokémon.

The Sega GP is also the first ever to surpass Rentendo handheld in terms of sales.

It's okay to say if it's just that the Omi market was caught off guard by Sega, but the problem is that the neon market seems to have a faint tendency to be overtaken by Sega GP.

What made Yamauchi feel the most angry was-

Even now, Ren Heaven has not been able to develop a handheld game console comparable to Sega in terms of comprehensive performance.

For this reason, he lost his temper with Gunpei Yokoi in the R&D department.

Yokoi Junhei said that this is not entirely their responsibility, and the most important core technology [lithium battery] So far, in addition to Sony, there is really no second replacement.

But Sony, you know, didn't you have a conflict with us the year before last, and then parted ways?

So this matter was not perfectly resolved in the end, and Yamauchi could only watch as he lost his dominant position in the handheld field step by step.

If it goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before Sega climbs on the head.

As soon as he thought of Nakayama Hayao's annoying appearance, Yamauchi couldn't help but be angry.

……

Now, there's one more thing to worry about.

"How is it all pokeni?!" Yamauchi Pu squinted his eyes, and he always felt that it was not a taste in his heart.

Why is there Qingzhiyuan everywhere?

From Sega's new handheld, to Pokémon, and now with Hayao Miyazaki, does this person have such a big charm?!

"I don't understand why Miyazaki is looking for pokeni."

"It's not exactly bad, is it?" "At least Miyazaki is willing to try gamification, so I wonder if there is a possibility of cooperation between us in the future." ”

It doesn't matter who the first person to eat melons is, but as long as this door is opened, Ghibli will leave a path that can be gamified in the future, which will definitely be profitable for a big factory like Rentendo.

"I mean, why pokeni!?" Yamauchi Pu Tie blushed and slammed the magazine on the table.

Shigeru Miyamoto's whole body trembled.

"It is said that Miyazaki saw an advertisement for Pokeni's game on TV and thought that they were acting out the story through the game, which is a good way to learn." Shigeru Miyamoto said stubbornly.

However, at the same time, Shigeru Miyamoto looked at the white-haired old man in front of him who was not angry and arrogant, and couldn't help but think-

President Yamauchi and Hayao Miyazaki are the same kind of people, both tyrants in their respective fields.

Can such people work together?

"Why pokeni?! Why Qingzhiyuan?! Yamauchi asked again, strengthening his tone.

This time, Shigeru Miyamoto was scared.

Cold sweat came out of his back.

Yokoi Junhei must have been under such high-intensity pressure for the past two years, right?

Yamauchi Pu is usually terrible, and when he is angry, he is even more terrifying, like a lion, although he does not roar, even if it is just a low breath, it is enough to make people frightened.

Ghibli also has Suzuki P to restrain and comfort Miyazaki, but there is no such character in Miyazaki.

"That...... We can have a meeting and discuss," Miyamoto said boldly, "Actually, The Legend of Zelda has a lot of potential to be made into an animation, or we can develop some new RPGs?" ”

This time, Shigeru Miyamoto finally got to the heart of the problem-

What Yamauchi wants to ask is why pokeni and not us?

Obviously, Ren Heaven is the first in the industry, but the partner chosen by Ghibli is not Ren Tian, this is a slap in the face.

Pu Yamauchi thinks that even if Ghibli chooses Konami or Square Enix, but chooses the hateful Pokeni?

In any case, a city must be brought back.

This is the style of Renten.

There must not be another predator on the lion's territory, and if there is, it must be bitten to death.

The terrible thing is that Yamauchi Pu has already seen the wealth wolves around him, and they have coveted the fat sheep in Ren Tiantian's mouth with terrible and greedy eyes, and what is even more terrifying is that Yamauchi Pu always has the illusion that this lion is weakening.

If you don't cheer up, show off your muscles, and beat the head wolf hard, the future of Ren Heaven is really not optimistic.

"Okay."

Yamauchi didn't speak again, but he was still in a bad mood.

Wow~

Terrible.

After coming out of the president's office, Shigeru Miyamoto found that his entire back was soaked.

……

Yamauchi had a sense of distress in his heart, the terrifying instinct of a business giant and a legendary genius, but there was one thing he might have thought wrong.

That is, in the eyes of the mountain, the most powerful wolf in the pack now, the leader is Sega.

But in fact, Sega is not much better than Rentendo, and it also has its own crises, especially recently Sega has invested a lot of money in the development of game consoles, and even did not hesitate to borrow huge loans from banks.

Sega is strong on the surface, but it is likely to fall in one fell swoop.

And Sony and Pokeni have the potential to become the two strongest hungry wolves in the future.

Sony, in particular, is no longer satisfied with the field of audio and video products, but has stepped into it and is secretly developing a new console.

Since the advent of CD-ROM technology, Sony has launched a revolution in the field of audio and video products in the last two years -

Audio-visual products are turned into CDs.

As a new storage medium, CD itself has a larger capacity, and Sony's CD player has a good playback function, CD greatly reduces the space of audio and video products, and a small disc can watch an animation for more than 1 hour.

Under the joint promotion of Sony and Philips, CDs soon replaced the old videotapes.

So now you can see all kinds of CDs everywhere in the market, whether it's animation CDs or movie CDs, it seems that everything has changed overnight.

Nao Tsuda was also the first woman to smell the direction of the wind, and DUN pioneered the use of discs as a carrier for blue films, which was an immediate success upon its launch.

The VCD standard was jointly formulated in 1993 by Sony, Philips, JVC, Panasonic and other electrical appliance manufacturers, and is a white paper standard for digital optical discs. (VCD technology and equipment were originally invented by the Chinese, but unfortunately the neon people preemptively set the standard.)

Don't ask Qing Zhiyuan why he didn't help change, that's not what this book is about.

If you have the opportunity to write a new book in the future, write a pure Chinese protagonist. ）

Now, as a new carrier, optical disc is an irreversible trend in the field of film and television, music, and games in the future.

……

At the same time, Sony's first-generation PlayStation-x prototype has been developed, and one of the prototypes and development equipment has been sent to pokeni.

The distance between the two companies is only a few hundred meters in a straight line, which can be said to be quite convenient.

The game console was sent by Sony's engineer, Ken Kutaragi, who is now the head of Sony's new entertainment division, and Hirokazu Chikawa, a hardware engineer from Pokeni's side, who was sent to help Sony.

Ken Kutaragi sent the game console and said goodbye in a hurry.

"Thank you so much, why don't we have a drink in the evening?" Qing Zhiyuan retained.

"If you have a chance, President Qing, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

Looking at the short and fat figure when Kutaragi Ken left, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh-

This guy has indeed been promoted.

The whole person was radiant, and he didn't even have time to eat.

From this point of view, though, it's clear that Sony is taking the new console very seriously.

It's the same with Kutaragi Ken, this guy will press his future life on the PS, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent, if he fails, he can't say that Kutaragi Ken doesn't resign.

"Well, good, it looks like it's a big fight!"

Qing Zhiyuan sighed.

He turned around and patted Chikawa Koichi lightly on the shoulder, "Good work, Chikawa." ”

Chikawa Hongichi is really aging obviously, obviously a young man in his 20s, and he has a lot more gray hair, so you can imagine what kind of life he has been living in Sony during this time.

"Nope." Chikawa Koichi first tried to squeeze out a smile, and then he couldn't hold back at all, and directly broke down and shed tears.

As soon as he flattened his mouth, his body trembled, and in order to hide his emotions, Chikawa Koichi hurriedly wiped the tears on his face with his palm.

Mommy......

What has all this been through?!

"Very good, I'm sure you've learned a lot, and the bottom layer of Pokeni's game will be handed over to you in the future." Qing Zhiyuan said.

With his understanding of Qianchuan, this guy has come up with a lot of moths, and he was able to add a chip to the cassette to expand the function back then, and now after entering the CD era, it is estimated that there will be more things.

"Okay president, I will do my best to live up to the president's trust!"

……

After Sony delivered the trial machine and development equipment for the PS, it left behind a bunch of instructions, including the underlying development protocol, application tools, and burning system used on the PS.

Koichi Chikawa retrained Pokeni's hardware engineers hand-in-hand, and then taught the apes how to architect and use development tools.

This process will take some time, after which Pokeni will be able to move on to game development for the new platform.

For the arrival of this day, Qing Zhiyuan has long been prepared.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still decided to use Pokémon as a big IP to develop "Pokémon 3D World"

The game will be led by the original Pokémon personnel, with a portion of the existing Pokémon team drawn from the development process, and members of the Witcher project team will also be brought in.

After all, there are so many people in the company, and Shinji Mikami and Gen Xubuchi are busy developing "Upside Down Patma"

As a result, the company currently has 6 projects under development:

"Diablo 2": Producer Qing Zhiyuan

"Pokémon 3D World" has not yet arranged a producer

The second generation of "Pokémon" crystal version, produced by Aoi Chiyuan, and the executive director is Asano Risa (insect girl).

"Upside-Down Patma", producer Shinji Mikami, script Xuan Yuan.

"CLANNAD" and "LIFE-LINE", the producer is Furuhara Tsubaki, the executive director is Mika Ishino, the painting supervisor Hayao Miyazaki, and the script is Jun Asaeda. (What a waste of the super luxury lineup to do galgame!) ）

Qing Zhiyuan himself did not expect that in just a few years, Pokeni has developed from a small company with only one game production capacity to the extent that it can open 6 games at the same time.

And except for the galgame and Pokémon handheld version, the difficulty of other game development is not low.

But in this case, manpower will start to become scarce again.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but look at the experience room, not knowing when this young man Miyazaki Hidetaka would grow up.

……

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was March.

"Ah~ It's so weird."

Ma Zhijun walked up and down the corridor with his hands crossed, especially anxious.

Standing next to him, Ken Akanishi and Taiji Sakata, two seniors, couldn't help but raise their heads and look at him suspiciously.

"What's wrong, Maeda-san?"

"Don't you think it's strange?" Ma Zhijun pointed to the company, going back and forth between the two project teams of CL and LL.

"Strange? What's so weird? Akanishi asked, puzzled.

"Ah~ You mean Miyazaki-senpai, right?" Taiji Sakata suddenly realized, "But he's been in the company for a while, Maeda should get used to it, right?" ”

"Sometimes Miyazaki's attitude is not very good, and he is very strict with everyone, but at least his intentions are good." Taiji Sakata looked at Hayao Miyazaki, who was sitting in his seat and discussing seriously with Aochiyuan, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Ah~ There are times when I want to be educated by Miyazaki-senpai."

"No, it's not, you're mistaken." Jun Ma Zhi interrupted them.

"Don't you think it's strange? It's clear that Tsubaki Furuhara is the producer of the project, but where is there a producer who doesn't come to work? ”

Furuhara Tsubaki is making a comeback, who is the happiest person?

Some say it's the players of Pokeni.

Actually, it's Ma Zhi Jun.

This guy has been a little fan of Furuhara Tsubaki since a few years ago, not to mention how happy he is when he hears the news that Furuhara Tsubaki is coming back.

"Didn't you say that Tsubaki Furuhara was going to be the producer? It's been a while since the project started, why haven't you even seen his figure? ”

"Huh?"

Ken Akanishi and Taiji Sakata were slightly surprised and exchanged glances with each other.

The two looked at the young man silently from the side, a hint of sympathy in their eyes.

Poor child, still haven't you recognized?
