Hu Yi, who was busy communicating at Toei Animation, brought back a message to Yin Jun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nintendo's president, Pu Yamauchi, wants to invite Yin Jun to a meal.

This was invited by Pu Yamauchi's secretary to Toei Animation in person.

For Nintendo, Yin Jun knows very well.

At that time, the only second-hand Xiaobawang learning machine donated by others in the orphanage could be equipped with the included game cartridge to play some classic games.

Whether it is the mode of Xiaobawang or these colorful games, when Yin Jun grew up, he learned that it was from Nintendo's design and specifications.

To put it bluntly, Nintendo is the Microsoft of the gaming industry.

Relying on their console and access mode interfaces, they controlled almost all game designers, allowing them to design games and play them on Nintendo's home consoles.

Japan's future game manufacturers, such as Square Enix, Namco, Bandai, and Konami, have all developed by designing and manufacturing game projects for Sega.

As a result, Nintendo is the overlord of home game consoles, and even in the 2020 era, Nintendo still relies on its home game consoles to earn a lot of profits every year, ranking second only to Sony that launched Playstation, ranking second in the world.

It is rare for a company to be prosperous for more than 30 years.

Of course, the current Nintendo has not yet entered its own period of rapid development.

Even at this time, they were beaten up by Sega in the arcade market, and they had to give up their arcade business and turn to the home game console business.

In today's video game market, Sega is in full swing, and Arida in the United States, one east and one west, are unrivaled hegemons in the region.

However, it is not far from the era of Nintendo.

Just last month, Japan released the first generation of Game & Watch, that is, portable game consoles, which will sell well all over the world, and Nintendo has researched and released them.

Game fans in China may not be familiar with this Game&Watch, but when it comes to its second-generation product, everyone knows it.

The name of the second-generation product

Called

Gameboy。

That's right!

It's the same console that has been popular all over the world for decades and has set the highest sales record for a console ever!

This kind of palm-sized game console, Yin Jun only saw it in the hands of others when he was a child, and he was very envious at the time, and when he grew up and worked, he also bought one to play.

Nintendo relied on its home game console and handheld game console to win the world, and it was brilliant until the time when Yin Jun was reincarnated.

And the person who led Nintendo's defeat from a year or two ago to its development in the future, in addition to the genius designer Yokoi Gunpei, was their representative director Yamauchi Pu.

If such a person wants to invite himself to dinner, it must not be as simple as eating and drinking.

It's just that Yin Jun doesn't have anything to ask for from Nintendo, and he doesn't plan to enter the home video game console industry, so he doesn't think much about it.

When I arrived at the banquet venue, I found that the restaurant located in the high-end business building in Ginza was unusually spacious, occupying a full floor of about 3,000 square meters.

But it's not the kind of people who are buzzing, on the contrary, the middle furnishings and modeling area it sets aside are very large, at least one-third, and the rest can be used to entertain guests if you add the kitchen and other places, that is, one-third.

It is still a private room of the Japanese room, with an area of more than 80 square meters, with a separate toilet, screen, and tea room, and the lighting is bright and soft, and the black gilt table placed on the tatami mat at the moment is probably not a bargain.

The bespectacled Yamauchi is 53 years old with eagle-like eyes, far less kind than he has been since he turned 70.

When the waiter who led Yin Jun in went out, Yamauchi Pu smiled and invited Yin Jun to sit cross-legged, and there was a woman in a kimono in the tea room, gently fiddling with teapots and other tea ceremony supplies.

It only takes a few glances to know that this woman's technique is much more skilled and elegant than Tokuma Yasu, and she is very beautiful and has a mature and beautiful temperament, so she is naturally more relaxed and depressed.

Neither of them spoke, and after three cups of tea, Yamauchi Pu said, "Mr. Yin, although we haven't met before, your name has long been thunderous in our Japan! Geniuses from China have been pouring out all the time, and now with you as a genius, I really want to see how far the comic industry in Xiangjiang can develop." ”

Yamauchi is a video gamer, and in addition to his own original games, it is inevitable that he will want to cooperate with manga companies to develop their popular manga to make games, so as to attract more people to play.

Nintendo and Shogakukan are very deep allies, so he is very familiar with the manga.

Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "Xiangjiang is also a part of Huaguo, with so many population bases, whether it is in creation or industry, Huaguo's comic industry should be good." ”

Naturally, the teenager would not tell Yamauchi that even after 40 years, the comic industry in Huaguo is still a mess.

If you don't pay attention to intellectual property rights, let alone the comic industry, it is very difficult for any other industry to develop.

Otherwise, where would Yin Jun have used the hard work of selling comics to Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, etc., and directly open up the channels in the mainland, so that Xinghua Bookstore can all be put on the shelves, isn't this okay?

Now that there are about 1 billion people in the mainland, what market prospects are unimaginable?

"The industrial chain of comics is very rich, and on the basis of the fact that China is still very poor and backward, I am afraid that there will be no way to expand it within ten years. Yamauchi said, "When it comes to the maturity of the market, especially the maturity of the comic industry chain market, the United States is the first, and Japan is definitely the second." And compared to Mr. Yin's comics, it seems that in Asia, we can find a sense of identity. ”

"Not bad. Yin Junjaw said, "Asia is the leader of Confucian culture, and our cultural background is the same, so of course everyone's thinking will be closer." ”

"Therefore, if you want to maximize the benefits, you should find the most familiar place and cooperate with the best manufacturers. Yamauchi Pu agreed, "It's not a secret, I came to Mr. Yin today to talk about some cooperation with you." ”

While the two were talking, the Japanese food over there had already been served, so Yamauchi invited Yin Jun to eat and talk.

There is actually nothing delicious about Japanese food, and it looks beautiful, but Yin Jun, who is used to salty, fresh, and fragrant tastes, has little interest in it.

Naturally, Yamauchi Pu didn't come to eat, he simply ate two bites, put down his chopsticks, and talked eloquently, "Mr. Yin, your "Kirin Weekly" is already the best-selling single comic weekly in the world, and many of the comics in it are suitable for game changes, such as "Transformers" and "Saint Seiya", which are all very good materials. But in my opinion, your "Resident Evil", which only has a single book, is the most suitable to be changed into a game. ”

"Oh, Mr. Yamauchi, is this trying to adapt Resident Evil into a game?" Yin Jun asked.

"With this idea, I don't know if Mr. Yin is willing to talk about it. Yamauchi nodded.

"Has Mr. Yamauchi seen Resident Evil?"

"Of course, I have seen it, and I like the setting of the umbrella company and the adventure perspective of the hero and heroine. Yamauchi said, "This game would be very good to make an adventure fighting game." ”

Yin Jun nodded, "Resident Evil" is a game in the survival category, and it is indeed selling very well, setting a record for a single game.

But at the same time, he shook his head and rejected Yamauchi's suggestion, "I also had such thoughts, but since I saw the current game hardware and software equipment, I feel that with the current technology, there is no way to support "Resident Evil". ”

"How can you know if you don't give it a try?" Yamauchi said sincerely, "We Nintendo have very good technology, if Mr. Yin licenses the game to us, we will definitely be able to make a win-win game!

The last sentence that Yamauchi Pu said, Yin Jun agreed very much, but he didn't think about Nintendo's game consoles at all.

Although "Resident Evil" has three platforms of games, a PS console, a Nintendo console, a Sega Saturn, and the last one is a computer platform, but the most brilliant is the computer platform.

Because the games supported by the computer platform, whether it is the graphics card, the sound card, or the CPU, are the best, and they are also the most suitable for beautifully crafted games like "Resident Evil".

Note,This is still Nintendo's console after 1996,Now Nintendo's first generation of red and white consoles have not come out.,Some are just that Game&Watch handheld game console.。

And Nintendo's first-generation red and white machine, the CPU is only 8-bit of the 6502 chip, the main frequency is only 12MHz, and the memory is only 8K.

Such a home game console, let alone 3D, even if it is 2D, those characters are at best just a pixel integration, and they can't even see their faces clearly, how can such an effect make the realistic thriller effect of "Resident Evil"?

Once given to Nintendo, it will definitely ruin the rhythm of the classics.

Of course, Yin Jun can't destroy the classics in his hands because of this money.

Although the comics can bring most book fans, if the game is not done well, surely the "Resident Evil" movie will encounter an awkward situation.

Thinking of the possible box office revenue of $3 billion for big movies, as well as more peripheral product income than this, Yin Jun is absolutely unlikely to lose a lot because of this.

"So be it. Yin Jun sighed and said, "If Nintendo can make the game characters into 3D color effects, then we can talk about cooperation." ”

Yamauchi Pu frowned, "3D?game?3D?Mr. Yin, where did you get these ideas? How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, and as technology develops, games are bound to get better and better, and more and more sophisticated. Yin Jun said with a positive face, "Only if the technology that can support the effect of "Resident Evil" is achieved, I will take out the game license." I'm sorry until then. ”

Yamauchi Pu looked at Yin Jun for a while, and his tone became a little cold, "It's really not negotiable?"

"I'm sorry. Yin Jun shrugged.

"That's a pity!"

Yamauchi sighed and didn't mention the matter again.

Although the two talked about some comics and video games after dinner, the atmosphere was still slightly awkward.

After all, Pu Yamauchi wanted to make a game of "Resident Evil" so much, but Yin Jun resolutely disagreed, and he must not be happy in his heart.

After eating, Yin Jun said goodbye and left, and he didn't feel anything.

It is also normal to not be able to negotiate business, and no one says that the first negotiation will be successful.

But the next afternoon, Yin Jun returned to the hotel from Deng Lijun, and the front desk said that a Mr. Kojima made several calls to Yin Jun's room and left a phone number, asking Yin Jun to come back and call him.

As soon as the phone was connected, Kojimasuke's voice came, "Mr. Yin, have you had a conflict with Yamauchi Pu?"

"It's nothing, right?" Yin Jun said in surprise, "Because the conditions are not suitable, I just rejected one of his cooperation agreements." What rumors has Mr. Kojima heard?"

"It's not a good thing. Kojima said in a deep voice, "This morning, Yamauchi Pu has already launched his influence, wanting all the video game manufacturers in Japan to refuse to cooperate with you and not adapt your manga into a video game! I heard that Sega and Namco have agreed!"

"Is there such a thing?" Yin Jun's face also changed, "Although I haven't negotiated cooperation with him, it's not like this, right?"

"Alas, Yamauchi Pu is such a stubborn person!" Kojima said with some annoyance, "It's all my fault, he said before that he wanted to cooperate with you, and I agreed to help contact him." I didn't expect it to be like this now. ”

As soon as he said this, Yin Jun immediately understood.

It's no wonder that Pu Yamauchi's secretary was able to find Toei Animation, it turned out to be a matchmaker with Kojima Suke.

Kojima must have wanted to achieve a better personal relationship by introducing business to Yin Jun, but he didn't expect to cause some trouble, so he was naturally a little embarrassed.

However, Yin Jun didn't blame him at all.

Because compared to Kojimasuke's understanding of Yamauchi Pu, Yin Jun knows more about Yamauchi Pu!

This man is born to be an arrogant, self-serving, domineering and arrogant typical Japanese businessman!
