278. What I have suffered, I will return one day
As soon as the two sequels of the Pokémon 3D world came out, it was equivalent to a king bomb, and countless players couldn't stand it.
But that's not the end of it.
In February, the Pokémon body of P Society, which is the latest orthodox sequel "Pokémon Light/Dark", was also officially launched.
In "Pokémon Light/Dark", not only the new Pokémon added to the previous Pokémon 3D world, but also the two different versions of the game, Light and Dark, have added Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee.
It has met the expectations of countless players.
"Oh my God, the moon Eevee and the sun Eevee are too beautiful, aren't they? I didn't know which one to choose. ”
"Ah~ Pokeni's speed is really fast, I didn't expect the dark side of the moon and the myth of the sun that only came out during the Chinese New Year.,At this time, it's actually joined to the orthodox work.。
When I was playing the game, I wondered what year would such a beautiful Pokémon be able to join the battle.
I didn't expect that it had already been realized in just over a month.
Should we say that Pokeni understands the players, or is it that we have already been eaten to death by them?
I hope it's the former. ”
In fact, the development plan has been there for a long time, after the development of the Pokémon 3D world was completed last year, Qing Zhiyuan has begun to let Asano Lisha and them form a team to develop Pokémon Light/Dark.
It's just that the decision to add Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee was made in the second half of '96.
At that time, Qing Zhiyuan considered that since the dark side of the moon and the myth of the sun had already come out, it was natural that the moon Eevee and the sun Eevee were actually very representative of darkness and light.
It's better to add them directly to this newly made Light and Dark Pokémon, and they can also be sold for a wave of money.
Yes, I'm sorry, Qing Zhiyuan's mind is full of business.
The result was also in line with his expectations, and after hearing that Light and Darkness had added Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee, the players went crazy.
"Sun Eevee is really good-looking, with hair, eyes, and shape, all so beautiful, just like an elf prince.
No, to be precise, Sun Eevee is the Apollo of the Pokémon world. The existence of a sun god. ”
"No, no, I still prefer Moon Eevee, don't look at its hair all over its body is black, it's a little scary, but it's not too beautiful when the circles of light on Moon Eevee's body shine with the appearance of the moon.
It's so beautiful that you can dream about it at night. ”
"I want both, so I'm very entangled, ahh......hh Why did the Pokeni officials give us such a dilemma?
Why can't you collect all the Pokémon in one Pokémon, and how nice it would be to gather both the Sun Eevee and the Moon Eevee into it?
It's disgusting to have to split it into two parts and sell them when the content is almost the same. ”
"Who's to say it's not, whether it's the sun Eevee or the moon Eevee, it's actually our favorite, and these two Eevees are so cute when they come out.
It's cute and beautiful, and one is mysterious, one is noble, one is elegant, and the other is arrogant, which makes people really love it.
It would be sinful to want to give up any of them.
I really don't want to make a choice. ”
No, Qing Zhiyuan was also troubled by this kind of problem in his previous life.
Now the explanation given by the official Pokeni is:
I don't want to have all the Pokémon in one game cartridge, the main thing is to facilitate players to fight and exchange, so as to promote the social interaction of players.
If you play games with others, you will get double the fun.
Children make choices, adults want everything.
There are even many people who buy two Pokémon directly in order to have both Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee. Light and darkness each have a portion.
For those who don't have enough money, but want it very much, they have to write and share with other good friends, and get what they want through Pokémon exchange.
And social horror players don't want to fight and socialize with others at all, they will buy two copies at the same time and play with themselves.
……
In addition to Pokémon's games, Pokémon's peripheral products are also on the shelves with the kit.
For example, plush toys, pillows, especially the [Pokémon Cat Bag] designed by Qing Zhiyuan himself before, it is going crazy.
After a New Year, the streets are full of young people carrying moon eevee or sun eevee cat bags.
There are even many people who have transformed their cats into the appearance of Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee.
In a way, Eevee really resembles a cat.
It is precisely because of the popularity of Pokémon that countless pets have been harmed.
In addition to cats, pet dogs were also Huohuo.
So a lot of times you can see the howling moon Eevee or the sun Ievee running all over the streets.
This phenomenon is also known in the media as the "Ibrahimovic phenomenon"
Probably speaking, the group effect caused by Pokémon like Eevee, along with its countless different evolutionary branches.
As a result, players have a soft spot for it, and in order to express their love for Ievee in real life, they do all kinds of strange behaviors.
……
The trend of the pet world is also brought up by pokeni.
DUN's peripheral income, a large part of which is contributed by Pokémon.
In addition to dolls, Pokémon's capsule toy machines and claw machines are also important sources of income.
In large shopping malls and important festival venues, you can see Pokémon capsule toy machines and claw machines everywhere, and there are always people who can't help but be attracted by the exquisite and cute Pokémon in the claw machines.
Even without games, anime alone is enough to make them highly recognizable.
And everyone's preferences are different.
Some like Pikachu, some like Eevee, some like Wonderful Frog Seeds, and some like Little Fire Dragon......
And the more evolved the form, the rarer it becomes, and the more players want it.
……
The New Year is joyful, and Pokémon can be seen everywhere.
It can be said that this is a carnival for the whole people, or it can be said that it is a victory for Pokémon.
The children's New Year's money was instantly sucked up by pokeni.
Many adults have also bought Pokémon, and the main battle games are basically to start.
And this kind of game is very personal and private, because everyone needs to train Pokémon, fight against other players, exchange them, and in short, Pokémon will become the player's personal belongings after collecting, which is specific and exclusive.
In such a situation, the sales of Pokémon are also rising slowly.
Basically, you don't need to do any statistics, but you can probably understand that the beginning of 1997 must be the world of Pokémon.
The entire gaming market has been transformed into a Pokémon.
……
It's terrifying, who would have thought that Pokémon would have such powerful energy?
Even now, the biggest change that Pokémon has brought is -
When people think of family games that they can play together, the first thing that comes to mind is no longer Super Mario in Non Heaven.
It's a Pokémon of Pokeni.
This is enough to show how terrible the influence of Pokémon is now.
Especially in the Omega market, Pokémon are even more crazy.
In the neon area, at least the GB before Rentendo can barely occupy a place, Sega's GP game console has not been completely monopolized, and the number of neon is not as large as Omi, so the sales of Pokémon are not so terrible.
But in the Omi region, it is completely different, this has been baptized by Sega's GP, to be precise, by Pokeni's handheld Pokémon for more than 4 years.
Such a huge market has actually long since become the shape of a Pokémon.
After the introduction of Pokémon animation in the Omi region, it reached its peak.
As soon as the orthodox sequel to Pokémon came out, the Omega Market exploded directly on the spot.
There was even a situation where the stock was sold out at one point, and many dealers had to wait for a while to find Pokeni to get the goods urgently.
In the Omi region, Moon Ibrahimovic and Sun Ibrahimovic are even more insane.
The moon and the sun are worthy of being the greatest worship and mascot of mankind since ancient times.
As long as you can relate to it and don't do too low, you can always get good results.
What's more, Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee are Pokémon with a lot of [cat nature], cat sex combines the sacredness of the sun and the moon, and it is full all of a sudden, and at the same time, there is a sense of cuteness and intimacy integrated into it, isn't this crazy?
Players in the Omi region can't stand it.
"It's so cute, Sun Eevee!"
"So pretty, so graceful Moon Eevee!"
"I love them so much, I have to get them, and I want to get a copy of them all.
If my cats could look like this, I'd definitely have to rub their faces every day. ”
"Ah~ I wish there could be such a thing as Pokémon in reality, Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee became pets, just thinking about it makes people extremely excited."
……
In short, the Pokémon's several consecutive launches were a great success in both neon and Omi regions.
It has become one of the best-selling games of the moment.
Even because of the out-of-stock, many players who wanted to get it failed to do so.
These guys are envious to see others being the first to experience the joy of capturing and using the Sun Eevee and the Moon Eevee.
If it weren't for the fact that the production capacity could not keep up, the Pokémon series would have created even more arrogant and terrible results.
At the same time, it was precisely because of the success of Pokémon that Sega was able to renew its life through the handheld, and it did not lead to a catastrophe due to the failure in the console market.
There is also more revenue to invest in the next generation of research and development.
For this reason, as the president of Sega, Mr. Hayao Nakayama also made a special call to thank Seichiwon.
It's not a thank you, it's just an ordinary New Year's greeting, and it also expresses his blessing to pokeni for the new game on the handheld, hoping that GP Pokémon Light/Dark will be a big hit.
With a stubborn character like Hayakuo Nakayama, it is not easy to do this.
Not long ago, President Nakayama was resentful of P for helping Sony achieve great success, rather than Sega for helping in the field of game consoles.
However, time has passed, and now President Zhongshan almost understands Qing Zhiyuan.
The Sega Saturn really doesn't necessarily drive the 3D games they want to develop, and even if they do, the game doesn't necessarily work better than Sony.
At least P did not completely break away from Sega, but continued to make efforts in the handheld, and at the same time helped them stabilize the handheld market.
For this alone, Hayayao Nakayama couldn't hate Qing Zhiyuan.
……
In other words, when it entered 97, it almost formed a three-legged situation in the game field:
First of all, the biggest piece of the cake, the console platform, was firmly dominated by Sony and became the new game console overlord.
In the field of handhelds, it is Sega GP far ahead, and it is expected that at the end of 97 or 98, Sega will launch the next generation of new handhelds.
Game cartridges/CDs, still the leader of Ren Heaven, after all, they have too many excellent games, and as long as they don't have a moth, they can keep making money, such as Super Mario series, Kirby series, Legend of Zelda series, Fire Emblem series, ......
And now, catching up, the most surprising and frightening thing is the rising star who was unknown a few years ago -
pokeni。
The sales of Pokémon alone are enough to make P Company one of the first-tier game manufacturers.
After this wave of sales, Pokeni's 96-year game turnover has been firmly in second place without counting peripheral sales.
It has become the largest game developer of Neon after Ren Heaven.
If you add in the income from peripheral products, Pokeni has already trampled on Rententen.
As for 97, countless people have a faint illusion -
This guy, can't he really kill Ren Tiantian?
……
Whether you kill it or not, it doesn't matter to Qing Zhiyuan.
He worked so hard, so hard, he just wanted to tell others:
What I Lost......
Ahem.
The insults I once received in Yamauchi will one day be returned.
And that time is not far off.
Qing Zhiyuan deeply felt the call of fate.
……
However, everything is not a one-step approach, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must come one by one.
Steady and steady, this is Qing Zhiyuan's style.
In the case of a stable rear of the game.
After the New Year, Sei Chi Won and Nao Tsuda visited Hitotsubashi Bune together.
……
Miss Fumie Hitotsubashi was the producer who recommended Shunji Iwai, the director of "Marriage Proposal", to Sei Chi Won at the previous party.
Qing Zhiyuan is holding the information about the producer that Mr. Shunji Iwai gave him:
Hitotsubashi Bune (English name Chloris, nickname Lissy)
Born on July 15, 1969, he is 27 years old.
American-Japanese mixed-race.
His father is a neon family, and his mother is a native of the United States, an executive at Sony Columbia.
Influenced by his parents, Hitotsubashi has been interested in the entertainment industry since he was a child.
Because of his mother's relationship, he is very familiar with Hollywood and has participated in film production.
Before returning to China, he worked as a production manager and associate producer for several films in Hollywood (Devil Killer, Groundhog Day, Burning Years, White House, The Highest Crisis).
Because he was not satisfied with pure Hollywood commercial films, he returned to China.
And now, the young producer is living in Chiyoda Ward, in a Japanese-style house left behind by her grandfather.
Haven't entered the door yet.
An Akita dog pounced.
Qing Zhiyuan's whole person was knocked down on his back.
Nao Tsuda was nervous for a while, and hurried over to check.
"Are you alright?"
The large Akita dog didn't have the slightest intention of attacking Qing Zhiyuan, just squatted on top of him and licked and brushed his eyebrows along Qing Zhiyuan's chin with his dog tongue.
A spit on the face.
"Hahaha...... I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Xiaoqiu to like Ling so much. It's not usually like that. ”
A girl in a Japanese kimono ran out.
But seriously, Nao Tsuda didn't feel like a girl in this kind of costume at all.
Because this girl has long blond hair and big blue eyes, her facial features are delicate and three-dimensional, more like a Westerner.
Only the soft face shape and smooth jawline have the charm of an oriental girl.
The first time Tsuda saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart-
What a cute beautiful girl.
……
"Miss Fumie Hitotsubashi, is that?"
Nao Tsuda asked.
"Yes, I'm a bridge." Hitohashi Wene bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Ah Qiu wasn't like this before, maybe he liked you too much." ”
At this time, looking at Hitotsubashi Bune again, Nao Tsuda suddenly felt that it was appropriate again.
Although she has the face of a Westerner and the delicate skin of an Oriental, but now Fumie Hitotsubashi is standing in front of her in a kimono, and Nao Tsuda feels that such a girl and such a beautiful white satin kimono complement each other perfectly.
It's beautiful.
It's like a white rose standing in the sun.
It turns out that this is the producer recommended to us by director Shunji Iwai.
But at the same time, Nao Tsuda couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart-
Can such a young producer really bring Moonriver's films to the international market?
The OMI film and television industry has its own special rules, to be precise, not only in the film and television industry, but also in other fields of OMI -
Naturally repulsive to faces from the East.
If it's an Omi face, plus the identity of the United States, it's much more convenient to do things over there.
This is also the reason why Shunji Iwai recommended Hitotsubashi Fumie to them.
Because he thinks that Hitotsubashi himself is a mixed-race child, coupled with his mother's connections, he has also worked as a producer in Hollywood for a period of time, and he also has some work experience, and he is ambitious, and he has the other half of his neon blood.
If she can join Moon River, then she will have a strong grip in the future whether it is Neon or Omi.
Now, it seems, is pretty much the same.
The only thing that worries Nao Tsuda is-
Hitotsubashi looks too young.
……
Hitotsubashi Fumie quickly pulled Akita to the side and looked at Nao Tsuda and Sei Chi Yuan with some amusement.
Qing Zhiyuan was licked with saliva on his face.
He stood up with a frown.
I didn't expect to meet in such a way for the first time.
"Hello, I'm the president of Tsukikawa Company, Nao Tsuda. We have made an appointment before.
This is our special manager and my husband, Mr. Qing Zhiyuan. ”
Nao Tsuda covered her mouth and laughed.
"Hello. Miss Bune Hitotsubashi. ”
Qing Zhiyuan wiped his face and handed his hand out.
Hitotsubashi Fumie glanced down at the Akita Inu saliva on it, just smiled and took his hand in his.
"Hello, Mr. Qing Zhiyuan, I'm Hitotsubashi Bune, please give me a lot of advice."
