"Huh? Nonsense, right? How could there be such a thing in the president's office? ”

When the little HR was sorting out the gifts for the president's customer visit, he accidentally found the big gift box containing mikihouse baby clothes.

This set of clothes is a little expensive, about 50,000 yen, which is equivalent to 2,500 yuan in soft girl coins.

But compared to the previous gift from Qing Zhiyuan to Hattori Hiroyuki, this is nothing at all.

"yes, how can there be such a thing in the president's office?" Mika Ishino, who inadvertently entered the president's office, had eyes like brass bells.

"It's unlikely, isn't it?" Akane Ayase picked up the large gift box and looked at it carefully.

Seriously, the materials of this outfit are quite exquisite, and the style is also very lively, which is the ideal model in Akane Ayase's heart.

The two men looked at each other with incredulous expressions.

"The president has a child?"

"Isn't it?"

Akane Ayase and Mika Ishino looked depressed and gritted their teeth.

When did the president get a girlfriend?

If you haven't gotten married, you still have a chance.

But if you have children, it's a different story.

"But...... This is a little girl's dress, right? Pink and tender. Akane Ayase fantasized about the president's child in her mind, and she was inexplicably happy.

"yes, if it's the president's daughter, it must be pretty, right?" Mika Ishino echoed.

I don't know why, when I think of the cuteness of children, it doesn't matter whether the president is single or not, and whether he has a wife or not.

"Oops~"

That's when it happened.

Qing Zhiyuan appeared from behind the two of them, raised his hand and slapped the knife for each person.

Mika Ishino and Akane Ayase both squatted down with their heads covered.

"It hurts, President!"

Akane Ayase stood up with her head covered and looked at Qing Zhiyuan with a resentful expression.

"Who told you to talk nonsense?" Qing Zhiyuan glared at them fiercely, and then his eyes roamed around.

"By the way, what about the gift box I asked you to prepare?"

"Here, President!" Akane Ayase hurriedly took out the gift box from under the table and put it on the table.

The gift was the same as the previous meeting with the customer, which contained a box of "Upside-Down Patma" game cartridges, in addition to a bottle of red wine and a handwritten card from Qingzhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan confirmed the contents of the card, and it was written to Hattori Hiroyuki, so he packed the things as they were.

"Well, this should be our last cassette."

"Huh?" Mika Ishino snorted suspiciously.

"In the future, we will use CD for production." Qing Zhiyuan said, "And it should focus on the PS platform, Sony's new game console is much more powerful." ”

Mika Ishino was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that the company has cooperated with Sony a lot recently, and according to the president, it is not clear that the future will be fully reversed to Sony.

At first, the main distribution platform of Pokeni's games was Ren Tian, and then it moved to Sega, and it became Sony in less than two years.

The president is changing so fast.

In a way, the president is simply a scumbag.

Qing Zhiyuan glanced at Mika Ishino, thinking to himself how this guy looked at him with such disdain, is there anything wrong with making CDs?

In the future, whether it is Sega or Sony, will they not all take the disc route? The main reason is that the capacity of the disc is much larger than that of the cassette.

"Oh, by the way, that baby clothes gift box just now is a gift for President Hattori, whose daughter was just born this month." Qing Zhiyuan also packed the gift box of baby clothes next to him.

There is no mistake about this, but it would be terrible to give President Hattori's gift to President Mori.

"Huh?"

Akane Ayase and Mika Ishino were stunned for a moment.

Is that so?

However, the next second, the faces of the two people showed disappointed expressions.

Ah~ I thought I could see the president's cute little daughter!

"Huh? What's that look on your face? ”

……

A week later, Hiroyuki Hattori invited Hiroyuki Hattori out, originally planning to find a Western-style restaurant to eat, but Hiroyuki Hattori strongly asked to sit in the nightclub in Roppongi.

Sitting in the luxury booth, surrounded by a familiar young lady, Hiroyuki Hattori smoked a cigarette and instantly relaxed.

"I can't smoke at home, but I suffocate to death."

Be......

Qing Zhiyuan thought to himself, isn't it, your completely suffocated appearance can be seen with the naked eye.

"But does it really matter? Calling a female PR in a nightclub, won't your wife be angry, President Hattori? ”

"Impossible!"

Hiroyuki Hattori waved his hand, "Don't you know?" At home, I have the final say on everything, I tell her to go east, she doesn't dare to go west, I tell her to cook, she doesn't dare to do laundry! ”

Qing Zhiyuan sighed lips, you can breathe.

The guy's face was flushed, and it was obvious that he was a little drunk.

You didn't look like that on the phone at the time.

"Later, Qingsang, you will also come to my house together, and I will let the inside-in-law entertain you well." Hiroyuki Hattori laughed, and the female publicists on both sides also laughed.

The business was successfully negotiated, and Hiroyuki Hattori was sent out of the store, and then the two sides parted here.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Hiroyuki Hattori get into the car and speed away.

……

The car traveled a section before the driver stopped.

Hiroyuki Hattori opens the window of his car and throws the Upside Down Patma cassette into the trash can on the side of the road.

Very good.

"Qingsang, you have to thank me, if I had been locked up at home, there would have been no such link."

I'm praying wholeheartedly to the god of trash cans for your games to be a big hit.

Seeing that the president had finished the [blessing ceremony], the driver drove forward silently.

After a while, the driver said, "That's right, president." ”

"Huh?"

"You have a faint smell of perfume mixed with cigarettes, Mrs. will ask later......"

Ah, the whiteness of the teeth!

Hiroyuki Hattori bounced up from his seat, sat up straight, looked nervous, and even woke up a lot of wine.

However, he glanced in the rearview mirror and quickly managed his expression again.

"Hmm...... Let's go find a sauna shop first. Wash off the smell on your body. ”

"Okay president."

……

After all the content related to the release has been negotiated, the release time of "Upside Down Patma" has also been finalized, and the next step is to publicize the work.

Now Pokeni's operation department is also experienced, and there is a set of fixed publicity and distribution models, similar to the previous "Quilt Man", first advertising on TV, and then posters on the advertising boards of sales stores and bus stops, and also inviting some players to carry out word-of-mouth publicity.

The news media also reported on this new game from P Society.

In short, all the publicity work was arranged, and everything was just for the game to be a big seller.

……

Keisuke Mido, the manager of a branch of the Torun Group's Goldfinger Game Store, was delayed for some things this morning, and when he arrived at the store's door, he happened to see the clerks putting up posters of Pokeni's new game.

He tilted his head and looked at it, and I have to say that the game posters of P Society are really beautifully made, and the posters alone have opened up a lot of grades with other games.

This sense of delicacy is reflected in all aspects, not only the characters are beautifully designed, the scenes are beautiful, but even the use of light can be a notch away from other games.

Take this "Upside-Down Patma" as an example, the hero and heroine are in the center of the picture, with brilliant daylight behind them, which is born from a point and then fills the whole world, and the light is at the intersection of the two people, but it happens to be divided into two parts by the horizon, the ground and the sky.

The transition of light, which spreads from the ground upwards to warm colors, and the horizon downwards to cool colors, makes people admire the greatness of their artists, who can paint such a game work with the feel of an animated movie.

If you don't know, you really want to go to the cinema and watch it.

But......

Looking at it, Keisuke Mido noticed that something was wrong.

He thought for a moment, turned around, bent over, and glanced back through his crotch.

"And so it was!"

"It's reversed!"

Keisuke Mido hurriedly walked over and said to the clerks.

"Huh? Is it reversed? The clerk was stunned for a moment, and quickly took a few steps back.

Several people looked at it for two seconds, "It should be right, the sky is above, and the male protagonist is standing on the ground and grabbing the female protagonist." ”

Although the posture of the female protagonist is very strange.,The whole person is standing upside down straight.,One arm is tightly held by the male owner.,Under the rendering of the sun,,The two people almost only have a big backlit silhouette.,But you can still see how hard you can see from the action.。

"No, no, no. Mistaken. ”

Keisuke Mido stepped forward, tore the poster off, and flipped it over and pressed his hand to the glass window.

"The staff of Pokeni has explained, this game, you have to put the sky below, you look at the words on it."

"Ah~ Sure enough!"

Everyone tilted their heads to look, only to find that there was indeed a line of small words underneath, which read "Upside-Down Patma"

This is followed by the producer's name [Shinji Mikami] and the script [Gen Void Abuchi]

"Oh, indeed, that's the only way the font is correct."

"Wow. If you look at it this way......"

The crowd stepped back a little and revisited the poster.

When the sky was lowered below, staring at the scene in the picture, everyone's hearts were pounding.

It's like hanging on a cliff, and once you let go of your hand, you will fall down and fall to pieces.

It's just that this picture is even more terrifying-

The heroine's feet are facing the endless sky.

No one knows where it will go.

"It's terrible, I've got a phobia of heights."

"Yes. I got goosebumps. ”

"I have to say that the original artist of Pokeni is a real cow, and when I look at the whole poster after reversing it, I have a completely different feeling, and the fear from the bottom of my heart comes up instantly."

Like countless small snakes, it bites everyone's nerves.

This is the fear of heights engraved in human DNA.

The most terrifying thing is that when the sky is lowered to the bottom, that fear is infinitely magnified.

"But there's also a line of small print here, which is upside down." Another staff member pointed to the location of [the ground].

"Hey, really."

This is Qing Zhiyuan's special intention, in order to reflect the different perspectives of different heroes and heroines, so he specially added two upside-down elements when designing the poster.

The Upside-Down Patma poster was beautifully crafted, and the whole poster was beyond what they knew to be a poster.

"Is this the return of Furuhara Tsubaki?" One of the clerks asked, confused.

"No, looking at the poster and related news, it seems that it is the producer of Shinji Mikami, and Furuhara Tsubaki has just returned to Pokeni, so it must not be so fast."

"Yes, it's normal for a year and a half to make a game, and it's not uncommon to do it for several years."

"Ah...... Damn, I really want to play the new game made by the old thief of the ancient plain sooner! ”

"Okay, don't say that much." Keisuke Mido's arm ached, "Come and help me paste it, are you all in a daze?!" ”

"Oh, okay store manager."

Only then did a few people react, and hurriedly walked over to help hold down a few corners.

……

26 April 1994.

Tokyo.

壬天有限公司.

4:55 p.m.

Shigeru Miyamoto raised his hand, looked at his watch, and saw that the time was almost up, so he put down his work and walked into the conference room.

There were already a few colleagues sitting and waiting.

Seeing Shigeru Miyamoto enter the conference room, one of the small young men said seriously, "Miyamoto-san, it's about to start." ”

Shigeru Miyamoto bowed slightly, pulled a chair and sat down.

Everyone turned their attention to the large color TV in the conference room.

Tonight, the TV will broadcast the PV of Pokeni's new work "Upside Down Patma".

Shigeru Miyamoto is usually so busy with work that it stands to reason that he doesn't have the leisure to watch this kind of thing, let alone pay attention to it like this.

But after he watched the news about this game a few days ago, he expressed his curiosity.

And he has just been scolded by Yamauchi, no matter what, even if a small company like Pokeni can be favored by Miyazaki, it has to look at it again and see what others have done well.

That's why we have today's play.

……

A few people sat upright, and after a few minutes, the PV of "Upside Down Patma" was played on time on TV.

In the picture, a short-haired girl jumps among the underground facilities with a backpack on her back, and these huge metallic underground facilities are like a labyrinth.

Magnificent music sounded, like an epic.

Shigeru Miyamoto's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This style is a bit of cyberpunk.

[Two worlds that extend in opposite directions]

[They probed each other, again and again]

[Again and again, drifting away]

The screen switches to the ground.

The male and female protagonists grabbed each other's arms, and the heroine Patma hung straight upside down in the sky, as if she was about to be sucked in by the air flow above.

And at this moment, as the music continued to play, the whole TV screen began to rotate.

The light in the middle penetrates the screen to form a dividing line between the ground and the sky, and rotates with the camera like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

The whole picture is reversed and becomes the sky is falling.

Below, a sea of clouds spread all the way to the boundless sky.

"Wow~"

Just seeing the trailer, Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto on the side of Rentendo couldn't help but clap his hands.

"Ah~ What a strong creative ability!"

"It's so interesting to combine gravity by inverting the sky and the ground!"

……
