Chapter 374 278 What I Have Suffered Will Be Paid Back One Day

Chapter 374 278. I will pay back what I have suffered one day

When the two sequels of Pokémon 3D World came out, it was like a king bomb, and countless players said they couldn't stand it.

However, this is not the end.

In February, Paradox's Pokémon main body, the latest orthodox sequel "Pokémon Light/Dark" was officially launched.

In "Pokémon Light/Dark", not only the new Pokémon in Pokémon 3D World are included, but also Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee are added to the two different game versions of Light and Dark.

It meets the expectations of countless players.

"Oh my god, Umbreon and Sol are so pretty, right? I didn't know which one to choose for a moment."

"Ah~ Pokeni is really fast. I didn't expect that Dark Side of the Moon and Sol Mythology, which were only released during the Chinese New Year, have already been added to the mainstream works.

When I was playing the game, I was wondering when such beautiful Pokémon would be added to the battle.

I didn't expect that it would be realized in just over a month.

Should we say that Pokeni understands players, or that we have been eaten by them for a long time?

I hope it's the former."

In fact, the development plan has been in place for a long time. After the development of Pokémon 3D World was completed last year, Qing Zhiyuan had already started to let Asano Lisa and others form a team to develop Pokémon Light/Dark.

It's just that the decision to add Umbreon and Sol was made in the second half of 1996.

At that time, Qing Zhiyuan was thinking that since the Dark Side of the Moon and the Mythology of the Sun had already been released, then naturally Umbreon and Sun Eevee were actually very representative of the dark and light.

It would be better to add them directly to the new light and dark Pokémon, and they could also sell them for a wave of money.

Yes, sorry, Qing Zhiyuan's mind was full of business.

The result was in line with his expectations. After hearing that Sun Eevee and Umbreon were added to the light and dark, the players went crazy.

"Terrembry is really good-looking, the hair, eyes, and shape are all so beautiful, just like an elf prince.

No, to be precise, Terrembry is the Apollo of the Pokémon world. He is like the sun god."

"No, no, I still prefer Lunambry. Although its hair is all black, it is a bit scary, but when the halos on Lunambry's body shine with the appearance of the moon, it is so beautiful.

It is so beautiful that I can dream about it at night."

"I want both of them, so I am very entangled, ah ah ah... Why does the Pokeni official give us such a difficult problem?

Why Can't we collect all Pokémon in one Pokémon, and it would be great if we could collect both Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee.

The contents are similar, but they are sold in two parts, which is really abominable. "

"Who said it wasn't? Whether it is Sun Eevee or Moon Eevee, they are actually our favorites. When these two Eevee came out, they were so cute.

They are cute and beautiful, and one is mysterious, one is noble, one is elegant, and one is arrogant. People really can't let go.

I feel guilty if I want to give up any of them.

I really don't want to make a choice. "

Yes, Qing Zhiyuan was also troubled by this problem in his previous life.

The official explanation given by Pokeni now is:

We don't want to collect all Pokémon in one game cartridge, mainly to facilitate players to fight and exchange, so as to promote players' social interaction.

If you play games with others, you will get double the fun.

Children make choices, adults want everything.

There are even many people who bought two copies of Pokémon just to have both Sun Eevee and Moon Eevee. One for Light and one for Dark.

For those who don’t have enough money but want them very much, they have to write and share with other good friends, and get what they want through the form of Pokémon exchange.

Socially anxious players don’t want to fight or socialize with others at all, they will buy two copies at the same time and play with themselves.

…

In addition to Pokémon games, Pokémon peripheral products are also put on the shelves.

For example, plush toys, pillows, especially the [Pokémon Cat Bag] designed by Qing Zhiyuan himself, which is selling like crazy.

After a New Year, young people carrying Moon Eevee or Sun Eevee cat bags can be seen everywhere on the street.

There are even many people who transform their cats into the appearance of Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee.

To a certain extent, Eevee really looks very similar to cats.

It is precisely because of the popularity of Pokémon that countless pets have been harmed.

In addition to cats, pet dogs have also been killed.

So you can often see Luna Eevee or Sun Eevee running around the streets barking.

This phenomenon is also called the [Eevee phenomenon] by the media.

It probably means that the group effect caused by Pokémon like Eevee, together with its countless different evolutionary branches.

This leads to players' special liking for it, and all kinds of weird behaviors to express their love for Eevee in real life.

…

The trend in the pet industry was also driven by pokeni.

A large part of DUN's peripheral income is contributed by Pokémon.

In addition to dolls, Pokémon gashapon machines and claw machines are also important sources of income.

In large shopping malls and important celebration venues, Pokémon gashapon machines and claw machines can be seen everywhere. There will always be 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 very famous.

And everyone’s preferences are different.

Some like Pikachu, some like Eevee, some like Bulbasaur, some like Charmander...

And the more evolved the form, the rarer it is, the more players want it.

…

The New Year is full of joy, and Pokémon can be seen everywhere.

It can be said that this is a national carnival, or it can be said that it is a victory for Pokémon.

All the children's New Year's money was sucked up by pokeni in an instant.

Many adults have also bought Pokémon, and basically everyone has to buy them in battle games.

Moreover, this kind of game is very personal and private, because everyone needs to cultivate Pokémon, whether it is to battle with other players or to exchange, in short, after collecting Pokémon, they become It becomes the player's personal property, with specificity and exclusiveness.

Under such circumstances, the sales of Pokémon are also rising steadily.

Basically, without doing any statistics, you can probably understand that the world of Pokémon must be the beginning of 1997.

The entire game market has become like Pokémon.

…

It's so scary. Who would have thought that Pokémon could have such powerful energy?

Even now, the biggest change brought about by Pokémon is——

When people think of family games that they can play together, Rentenden's Super Mario is no longer the first thing that comes to mind.

But pokeni's Pokémon.

This is enough to show how terrifying the influence of Pokémon is now.

Especially in the Omi market, Pokemon are being killed like crazy.

In the Neon area, at least GB before Rentenda can still barely occupy a place. Sega's GP game console does not have a complete monopoly. In addition, the number of people in Neon is not as large as that of Omi, so the sales volume of Pokémon is not yet So scary.

But it's completely different in the Omi region. This has been baptized by Sega's GP, or to be precise, Pokeni's handheld Pokémon for more than 4 years.

Such a huge market has actually already taken the shape of 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 Omi Market exploded on the spot.

There was even a situation where the products were sold out, and many dealers had to wait for a while to find pokeni to get the goods urgently.

In the Omi region, Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee went crazy.

The moon and the sun are indeed the greatest worship objects and mascots of mankind since ancient times.

As long as you can relate to it and don't do it too low, you can always achieve good results.

What's more, Moon Eevee and Sun Eevee are Pokémon with very "cat-like" nature. The cat-like nature combines the sacredness of the sun and the moon, which instantly makes people happy. At the same time, there is also a sense of cuteness and intimacy integrated into it. Isn’t this going to kill you?

Players in the Omi region said they couldn't stand it.

"So cute, Sun Eevee!"

"What a beautiful and elegant Moon Eevee!"

"Oh, I love them so much. I must buy them. I want a portion of them all.

If my cats could look like this, I would definitely rub their faces every day. "

"Ah~ I wish there could be such things as Pokémon in reality. Eevee Moon and Eevee Sun become pets. Just thinking about it makes people extremely excited."

…

In short, the Pokémon's bursts were a great success in both the Neon and Omi regions.

It has become one of the most popular games at the moment.

Even because it was sold out, many players who wanted to buy it failed to do so.

Seeing others being the first to experience the fun of capturing and using Eevee Sun and Eevee Moon, these guys were filled with envy.

If production capacity hadn't failed to keep up, the Pokémon series would have created even more arrogant and terrifying results.

At the same time, it was precisely because of the success of Pokémon that Sega continued to survive through the handheld console, and did not suffer from catastrophe due to 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 even called Qing Zhiyuan to express his gratitude.

It's not really a thank you, it's just an ordinary New Year's greeting. He also expressed his blessings for Pokeni's new game on the handheld console, and hopes that GP Pokémon Light/Dark will be a big hit.

It is not easy for someone with a stubborn character like Nakayama Hayao to achieve this level.

You must know that not long ago, President Nakayama was resentful because P Club helped Sony achieve great success instead of Sega helping in the game console field.

However, times have changed, and now President Zhongshan almost understands Qing Zhiyuan.

The Sega Saturn really may not be able to drive the 3D games they want to develop, and even if it can achieve this step, the game effects may not be better than Sony's.

At least Paradox did not completely break away from Sega, but continued to exert efforts in handheld consoles, which also helped them stabilize the handheld console market.

Just for this reason, Nakayama Hayao couldn't hate Qing Zhiyuan.

…

In other words, after 1997, a three-legged situation almost formed in the gaming field:

First of all, the biggest piece of cake, the console platform, is firmly dominated by Sony, becoming the new game console overlord.

In the field of handheld consoles, Sega GP is far ahead. It is expected that Sega will launch a new next-generation handheld console by the end of 1997 or 1998.

In terms of game cartridges/discs, Rentendao is still the leader. After all, they have too many excellent games, and they can continue to make money as long as nothing happens, such as the Super Mario series, Kirby series, and The Legend of Zelda series. , Fire Emblem series...

But now, catching up, the most surprising and frightening thing is the rising star who was unknown a few years ago——

pokeni.

The sales volume of Pokémon alone is enough to place Paradox among the first-tier game manufacturers.

After this wave of sales ended, pokeni's game revenue in 1996, without counting peripheral sales, had firmly settled into the second place.

Became the largest game developer second only to Rentian Neon.

If revenue from peripheral products is added to the mix, Pokeni has already trampled on Rentendo.

As for 1997, countless people had a vague illusion——

Could this guy really be able to kill Rentian?

…

It doesn't really matter to Qing Zhiyuan whether he can do it or not.

He is so desperate and working so hard, he just wants to tell others:

What I lost...

Ahem.

The insult I received from Yamauchi will one day be paid back.

And this time is not far away.

Qing Zhiyuan deeply felt the call of destiny.

…

However, nothing can be achieved in one step. You have to eat one bite at a time and do things one by one.

Playing slowly and steadily is Qing Zhiyuan’s style.

When the rear of the game is stable.

After the New Year, Qing Zhiyuan and Tsuda Nao visited Hitotsubashi Fumi-e together.

…

Ms. Hitotsubashi Fumie was recommended to the producer of Qing Zhiyuan by Shunji Iwai, the director of "The Proposal Battle" at a previous party.

Qing Zhiyuan is holding the information about the producer given to him by Mr. Shunji Iwai:

Hitotsubashi Bune (English name chloris, nickname Lissie)

Born on July 15, 1969, now 27 years old.

American-Japanese mixed race.

His father is a neon novelist, and his mother is an American and an executive at Sony Colombia.

Hitotsubashi Bune was interested in the entertainment industry since childhood due to the influence of his parents.

Because of her mother, she is very familiar with Hollywood and has experience in film production.

Before returning to China, he worked as a production manager and associate producer on several films in Hollywood (Devil Striker, Groundhog Day, The Last Day, The White House, and Highest Danger).

I returned home because I was not satisfied with pure Hollywood commercial films.

Now, this young producer is living in the Japanese-style house left by her grandfather in Chiyoda District.

Haven't entered yet.

An Akita dog rushed over.

Qing Zhiyuan was thrown onto his back.

Nao Tsuda felt nervous and hurried over to check.

"Are you OK?"

The large Akita dog had no intention of attacking Qing Zhiyuan. It just squatted on him and licked Qing Zhiyuan's chin to the brow with its dog's tongue.

A face full of spit.

"Hahaha... I'm so sorry. I didn't expect Xiaoqiu to like you so much. He's not usually like this."

A girl wearing a Japanese kimono ran out.

But to be honest, Tsuda Nao didn't think she looked like a girl wearing such clothes at all.

Because this girl has long blond hair and big blue eyes, and her facial features are exquisite and three-dimensional, more like a Westerner.

Only the soft face shape and smooth jawline have the charm of an oriental girl.

When Tsuda saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart——

What a lovely girl.

…

"Is that Miss Fumi-e Hitotsubashi?"

Nao Tsuda asked.

"Yes, I am Ichihashi." Fumie Ichihashi bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Aqiu wasn't like this before. Maybe he likes you too much."

At this time, looking at Hitotsubashi Bun-e again, Nao Tsuda suddenly felt it was appropriate again.

Although she has a Western face and the delicate skin of an Oriental, Fumi Hitotsubashi is standing in front of her in a kimono, but Nao Tsuda feels that such a girl and such a beautiful white satin kimono are simply perfect. They complement each other.

It's so beautiful.

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, Tsuda Nao couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart——

Can such a young producer really bring Moon River's films to the international market?

The OMI film and television industry has its own special rules. To be precise, it is not only the film and television industry, but also other fields of OMI——

I am naturally averse to faces from the East.

If you have an American face and an American identity, it will be much easier to do things there.

This is why Shunji Iwai recommended Hitotsubashi Bunga to them.

Because he felt that Hitotsubashi himself was a mixed race, and with his mother’s connections, he had also worked as a producer in Hollywood for a period of time and had some work experience. In addition, Hitotsubashi himself was ambitious and had the other half of his life. Neon bloodline.

If she can join Yuehe, then she will have a strong grasp in both the Neon and Omi regions in the future.

Now it seems that is more or less the case.

The only thing that worries Tsuda Nao is——

Hitotsubashi Fumie looks too young.

…

Hitotsubashi Fumi quickly pulled the Akita aside and looked at Nao Tsuda and Qing Zhiyuan with some humor.

Qing Zhiyuan was licked with saliva all over his face.

He frowned and stood up.

I didn't expect to meet in this way for the first time.

"Hello, I am Tsuda Nao, the president of Yuehe Company. We made an appointment before.

This is our specialist and my husband, Mr. Qing Zhiyuan. "

Tsuda Nao covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hello. Ms. Fumie Hitotsubashi."

Qing Zhiyuan wiped his face and handed over his hand.

Hitotsubashi Fumie lowered his head and glanced at the Akita dog saliva above, just smiled, and held his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Qing Zhiyuan, I am Hitotsubashi Fumi, please give me your advice."
