453 [Game Launching Ceremony]
After visiting Square, the group left there in Xiatian and took a bus to the hotel they booked.
"A Tian, why did you suddenly think of acquiring a game company?" Hu Huizhong asked curiously on the way.
"Because I think video games have great development prospects and the market size in the future will definitely be very large, so I intend to develop in this field." Xia Tian explained.
"Really? Isn't that just for children to play with?" Hu Huizhong asked in confusion.
"Of course it's more. People of any age, no matter young or old, have entertainment needs. Children play hide-and-seek and play house; adults play football and billiards; elderly people play Go and mahjong. In fact, these are all games, and they can all be adapted into electronic games." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Believe it or not, with the development of technology in the future, the game's graphics will be improved, and then it will be as realistic as a real person. If you control characters to run and jump, it will be the same as real person. At that time, playing games will be more enjoyable than watching movies." Xia Tian said with a smile.
Playing games by yourself can manipulate the characters' actions, life and death, not much better than watching movies, accepting screenwriters and director arrangements, and it also makes you feel more immersive.
"Really?!" Hu Huizhong was stunned, a little unbelievable.
Because the game scene she just saw was a bunch of color blocks, and the characters couldn't even see their facial features. If she wanted to become as realistic as a real person, she really couldn't imagine what to do.
"Of course, I think it will be like that in the future." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "So I am going to make arrangements in advance, accumulate experience and fame, and you can make a lot of money by then."
"Even if you want to enter the game industry, you don't have to buy that company. The company is small and broken, and the boss is so hateful. You can't continue to operate it anymore. You still look like you want to live and die with the company. You would rather die than sell it, as if you have many treasures." Hu Huizhong said unfairly for Xia Tian.
"It doesn't matter. The company belongs to others, so of course they have the right to choose to sell or not." Xia Tian waved his hand, "But it doesn't matter if he doesn't sell. What I'm interested in is talent."
"Talent?!" Hu Huizhong was stunned.
"Yes, I think Hiroshi Sakaguchi is pretty good. I want to recruit him." Xia Tian nodded.
"Really? Why didn't I see it?" Hu Huizhong asked in confusion.
In her opinion, Hiroshi Sakaguchi is just a young man who was 200 years old. His words and deeds are very ordinary in all aspects, but I really can't see which aspect is more outstanding.
"Of course, you don't believe my eyes." Xia Tian smiled.
"Well, if you say he is a talent, then he must be a talent." Hu Huizhong immediately smiled and nodded.
She has no confidence in Hiroshi Sakaguchi, but she has absolute confidence in Xia Tian.
"Be good." Xia Tian touched Hu Huizhong's head intimately.
...
The next day, Yokohama Matsutake Hotel.
Xia Tian took the translator alone and stayed at Hu Huizhong in the hotel himself.
When he arrived at the Matsutake Hotel, Hiroshi Sakaguchi was already waiting outside the door. After receiving Xia Tian, he immediately took him to the venue.
"Dear journalists, thank you very much for participating in the launching ceremony of our latest game masterpiece "Zombie Family", Miyamoto said on stage, "This game is adapted from the popular movie "Zombie Family" this year. We also specially invited Mr. Xia Tian, the screenwriter and director of "Zombie Family" to meet you. Please invite Mr. Xia Tian!"
Ninety percent of the reporters who attended today were attracted by Xia Tian. Otherwise, the game press conference held by an unknown game developer would not be of interest to them at all. Therefore, when they heard that Xia Tian was about to appear, everyone applauded unanimously.
Amid the warm applause, Xia Tian and Hiroshi Sakaguchi walked into the venue, "Thank you everyone, thank you!" He smiled and waved to the reporters, and then sat on the stage with Hiroshi Sakaguchi, Hiroshi Tanaka and other game developers, ready to accept the reporters' interview.
"Okay, here is the reporter's questioning session."
Seeing that Xia Tian was so popular with reporters, Masashi Miyamoto couldn't help but feel relieved. With Xia Tian helping to promote, the possibility of "Zombie Family" achieving good sales is even greater. In this way, he can also explain to his father.
"Xia Sang, the box office of "Midnight Bell" has accumulated to HK$1.5 billion. Do you have anything to say about this?"
"Midnight Bell" has such a high box office, do you have any plans to shoot a sequel?"
"Haruki Kakugawa said that Kakugawa Bookstore has obtained the right to adapt the novel "Midnight Bell". I wonder who will write the novel and when will it meet the readers?"
The reporters rushed to ask.
When he heard that the reporters were asking questions about "Midnight Bell" and not mentioning their own game, Miyamoto Masashi suddenly turned dark and was so depressed.
"Are you mistaken? I invited you to participate in the start-up of our game. How can you ask questions that are not related to the game? It's so unkind." He whispered in his heart, but he didn't dare to give comments to the reporters.
The reason is very simple, because Square has not enough strength to intimidate these reporters. On the contrary, he also begs these reporters to say more good things about his game. Therefore, he has to treat these reporters as living ancestors, so naturally he dare not give any comments. He just hopes that after the reporters ask about "Midnight Bell", he will ask about his "Zombie Family" game, otherwise his starting style will be in vain.
"Everyone, today is the starting ceremony of the "Zombie Family" game. The questions I answered are limited to this game. As for other questions, let's find another time to discuss them. Don't let the organizer make things difficult for him?" Just when Masashi Miyamoto was depressed, he heard Xia Tian smile slightly.
After hearing what he said, although the reporters were reluctant, they had to nod and agree.
Seeing that Xia Tian said something, these reporters were obedient and couldn't help but envy them.
"When will I have this kind of power of saying nothing?" He sighed, and suddenly felt that it was good to sell the company to summer. At least it was good to rely on a big tree to enjoy the cool air, and there was no need to burn the sun and rain on your own, and work hard.
...
"Xia Sang, why did you adapt "Zombie Family" into a game?" a reporter raised his hand and asked.
"The reason is very simple. Because movies are entertainment and electronic games are also ones. As long as they can bring joy to everyone, I am willing to try it." Xia Tian said with a smile.
"Then why did I leave this game to Square for development? As far as I know, it is just a very small game developer, and has never launched any decent works." A reporter asked with his hand.
When Masashi Miyamoto, Hiroshi Sakaguchi, Hiroshi Tanaka and others heard it, their faces turned dark. Although Square was indeed as he said, small and unknown, is it really good for you to slap in the face like this?! It's so unkind!
"The reason I handed over this game to them for development was mainly because I was moved by their sincerity." Xia Tian said with a smile. "I didn't have much confidence in them at the beginning, but Mr. Hiroshinobu Sakaguchi was very sincere. At that time, I was promoting "Zombie Family" and needed to travel to many places. In order to convince me, Mr. Sakaguchi kept following me and introducing his ideas to me, over and over again, never getting tired of it. In the end, I was moved by his persistent spirit, so I decided to give him the right to adapt the game "Zombie Family" to him."
After hearing Xia Tian's words, Hiroshi Sakaguchi suddenly became Sparta. When did he do that, he still followed Xia Tian's footsteps and introduced his thoughts tirelessly. What's the matter!! It's just a mess!!
"Kun Sakaguchi, I really didn't expect you to suffer so much. Thank you so much!" Tanaka Hirodo whispered.
Masashi Miyamoto also cast a grateful look at Hiroshi Sakaguchi, but he did not expect that he had contributed so much to Square.
"..." Hiroshi Sakaguchi blinked his eyes and had to accept the credit with amused and crying.
"Xia Sang, are you still satisfied with this game?" the reporter asked again.
"Very satisfied." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "To be honest, I couldn't let go of this game after seeing this game. I played all night last night."
"..." Hiroshi Sakaguchi was stunned again, thinking that Xia Tian really likes to make up stories.
He didn't get the game cassette yesterday, so how could he play all night?
But he said this, and it is naturally good for game promotion. He really can't blame him.
...
After the interview, we will enter the game trial session.
Square Wilt specially prepared four game consoles for reporters to try them out.
It is also the first time that Xia Tian has seen the outer packaging of the "Zombie Family" game cartridge.
Just saw on the packaging, Xia Tian and Lin Zhengying were holding a camera and the other was holding a peach wood sword, fighting against male zombies and female zombies. Both zombies had green faces and fangs, pointed fingers, and their faces were abominable. However, the little zombie in the corner had big eyes, which were very cute.
After inserting the cassette, Xia Tian and the reporters had a two-player mode.
This time he used a character named "A Long", probably borrowing from the names of Cheng Long and Bruce Lee.
Aaron also has two moves. One is to use the camera's flash to attack the zombies in a long range. The zombies illuminated by the flash will be purified, and the effect is similar to the "holy light" used by the priest to exorcize. Such a weird setting makes Xia Tian a little speechless. The other move is to attack with his legs, probably to learn from Bruce Lee's "Li Sanjiao".
Xia Tian tried it out with the reporter, and the two cooperated tacitly and defeated the third mark all the way, and were defeated by the doctor.
"Oh, what a pity." The reporter said regretfully.
He was having a good time, but unexpectedly he was beaten to death by Boss.
"How about it, everyone, this game is not bad, right?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.
Chapter completed!
