Chapter 228 Debut
Life in this world is nothing but fame and fortune. As long as you are an ordinary person, you can't avoid these two points. This is human nature, even if you are an outsider, it may be difficult to escape.

If Xueleshan’s implementation of the "Dawn Project" is not favored by several major game manufacturers and those talented people in the game industry, then the TGA Awards Ceremony and the Game Hall of Fame plan will be thrown out, and the mainstream companies in the entire game industry will be out of favor. I can't sit still any longer.

Everyone knows that the right to speak, if you don't want it, you have to be taken away by others.

Faced with Xueleshan’s claim that it wants to create an Oscar TGA Awards Ceremony for the game industry and the World Video Game Hall of Fame, some game manufacturers are naturally dissatisfied, thinking that Xueleshan has no qualifications to hold and select members of the Game Hall of Fame, especially Japan Benz Game manufacturers are the most.

But he refused to accept it, but he didn't dare to underestimate Xuele Mountain. As the world's largest consumption area and the largest media influence place, when Xuele Mountain was really going to be held, other game manufacturers didn't dare to underestimate Xuele Mountain at all, for fear that if they were not careful, Xuele Mountain Leshan held the game for himself, and threw them aside. The game players couldn't tell who was the oldest one!

When I heard that Xueleshan established the TGA management committee, the three main console manufacturers in Japan, Sony, Nintendo, Sega, as well as Konami, Capcom, Namco, TECMO, SNK and other game manufacturers, all gave stood up.

"The venue for the TGA Awards Ceremony and the location of the Hall of Fame should be built in Japan. Japan is the birthplace of the new generation of video games and the center of the world's game industry!"

As the president of Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, one of the most popular competitors, also declared to the media on behalf of Nintendo, "Since the arcade era, Japan has been the birthplace of game culture, whether it is the arcade award or the British golden joystick. Awards are mainly based on Japanese games, if the so-called TGA Awards and the Game Hall of Fame cannot appear in Japan, it will be meaningless!"

Given the Japanese game manufacturer's status in the game industry, it seems that they really have the strength to say these words with a bit of arrogance.

Other Japanese game makers have also said that if the address of the TGA Awards or the Hall of Fame is not in Japan, the game makers of Japan will probably not participate in that day, making Xueleshan's operation a laughing stock!

But in the face of this threat, Xue Leshan didn't care at all, and directly announced that the management committees of the TGA and the Hall of Fame will be a nine-member system, and personnel from nine companies will form the TGA management committee to jointly formulate the selection rules for the TGA and the Hall of Fame , each year invites people to serve as judges and so on.

Among them, there are only two management committee quotas for the Japan Benzene region. There are so many game manufacturers, large and small, in Japan.

As for the threat from Japanese game manufacturers, Xueleshan directly announced that any game manufacturer that boycotts Xueleshan TGA Awards will no longer be released by Xueleshan as an agent in America. Don't even think about selling the game in America, or even Europe!

Even, Xueleshan is still cryptic, releasing news to those game manufacturers in Japan, who dares to stop Xueleshan, Xueleshan will initiate a lawsuit and public opinion against that game manufacturer to the business department and media in America, and let that game company , can no longer enter America!
This threat is not a big threat to small and medium-sized game manufacturers in Japan. It is difficult for them to enter the American market and live a small life in Japan, so they are still talking harshly about Xueleshan.

But for Nintendo, Sony, Konami and other consoles and big game manufacturers, they dare not bet on Sierra, whether they will really tear their skins. They have more than a dozen or even billions of dollars in America every year. revenue.

In addition, the most important thing is that, as the suzerain country of Japan, many people in America are staring at Japan's wool. Ten years ago, Japan was cut off a crop of leeks, and it has not slowed down yet. .

American companies have never been able to beat Japan's benzene industry, so they forced people to cut leeks from the relevant departments of America. Japan's automobiles, chips, semiconductors, home appliances and many other products have been severely beaten by America. After harvesting a crop of leeks, Japan’s game industry dare not bet. Is it another trap this time, planning to harvest the leeks of Japan’s game industry!
When Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Konami and other game manufacturers suddenly quieted down and accepted two places on the management committee of TGA, other Japanese game manufacturers jumped to no avail.

It was Ken Williams who fought for two slots on the TGA management committee for Japan Benzene. If Williams didn’t feel that it would be embarrassing to prevent Japan Benzene game manufacturers from joining the TGA committee, Song Yang They didn't consider the Japanese game manufacturers at all. After a few years of preparation, when the Chinese game manufacturers developed, they would directly let the Chinese game manufacturers join the TGA management committee.

However, the game industry of the Celestial Dynasty has just started, and Xishanju has been established for less than a year. It is a little anxious to directly bring Xishanju and other domestic game manufacturers into the TGA management committee. Song Yang can only wait for a year or two. , After Xishanju and other manufacturers developed some masterpieces, they directly pulled the game manufacturers of Tianchao into the TGA management committee.

TGA's nine management committee places, in addition to giving two Japanese benzene manufacturers, let the Japanese game makers fight for the two places, Ubisoft and Eidos two game manufacturers in Europe also got two quota.

The remaining five management committee seats were taken by Xue Leshan, Blizzard, Microsoft, Activision and EA respectively.

When the nine-member TGA management committee list was released and posted on Xueleshan's official website, interested people soon discovered that there seemed to be some strange names in it. Xueleshan and Blizzard seemed to occupy two places, but Xuele Leshan didn't explain, and the other members of the management committee didn't seem to see it either.

Ken Williams is very concerned about the TGA awards ceremony. After the establishment of the management committee, he immediately began to organize it with great fanfare. ICQ is also very supportive of the first TGA awards ceremony. Whether it will be successful or not depends on the first time next year. ICQ gave Xueleshan 850 million US dollars to hold the first TGA awards ceremony, and invited designers who participated in the Oscars to participate in the design of the TGA awards.

If the TGA Management Committee and the Japanese game manufacturers endured it, then the nominations for the first World Video Game Hall of Fame, the Japanese game manufacturers can no longer bear it. Next year, as the first game hall of fame, Xueleshan will release the news , a total of 15 members of the game industry will be nominated, but in the end only five people will be officially inducted into the Game Hall of Fame.

The World Video Game Hall of Fame managed by Xueleshan will adopt a strict screening and selection method. In each session of the Game Hall of Fame, at most five people will be selected. Xueleshan claims that this is to ensure the quality of the Game Hall of Fame. Rare things are more expensive , if they all entered the Game Hall of Fame, wouldn't the Hall of Fame become a place to collect trash?
But this is not good news for Japan Benzene. After all, there are so many game manufacturers in Japan, and there are quite a few who are called "game masters" by the Japan Benzene game industry. Counting on your fingers, there are dozens of them. If this Only one or two people can enter the Game Hall of Fame every year. Wouldn't the game industry die in that day?

In addition to the TGA Game Awards and Hall of Fame nominations, Sierra Mountain also announced that it will build a video game Hall of Fame memorial hall in America, Europe and Asia, and all Hall of Fame members will be erected wax figures in the Hall of Fame , and preserve the works and life deeds of the Hall of Fame members forever.

The TGA Awards Ceremony, the Game Hall of Fame, and the wax figures have also received a lot of discussion in America and Europe. Countless players are discussing which games will win awards next year, who will be nominated for the Game Hall of Fame, etc., but at most, Still watching the fun, watching Japanese game makers biting each other's dogs, the dog's brain was broken!
In order to get two places in the TGA management committee, Japanese game manufacturers, which were already full of conflicts, bit each other completely. Everyone knows that getting nominated by this committee is equivalent to getting TGA or even the game industry. The right to speak is naturally not to be outdone.

And the candidates for the Game Hall of Fame caused Japanese game users to completely explode into a war of words. For which Japanese game master is eligible to enter the Hall of Fame? Adding fuel to the flames, the game supporters behind the Japanese game producers are short of performing a martial arts show, and there is an arcade real-life PK on the street.

Xue Leshan did not expect that a candidate for the World Video Game Hall of Fame could cause such a big storm in the Japanese game industry. It is conceivable that the influence of games in Japan is probably much greater than what the outside world imagined .

In the arena in Los Angeles, California, today is the game between the Houston Astros and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The arena was already full of seats, and the camera cut to the court. When Song Yang appeared in the camera, there was some applause and the female audience screamed.

Gallo, who was sitting on the sidelines of the court, waved his fist vigorously, and shouted Song Yang's name to the surroundings.

Wearing an Astros team jersey and a baseball cap, Song Yang waved his hands around, pointed to the Astros team on the jersey and double-clicked the company's logo, and then threw the one in his hand vigorously.

Not surprisingly, the goal was of course a hit. After all, Song Yang was invited here today as a guest. Before the opening, he was a guest to warm up the game, mainly to add some heat to the upcoming double-click company. The Los Angeles Dodgers naturally It's also very face-saving.

When Song Yang hit the ball, the owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the O'Malley family stood up and applauded.

The commentator of the New York TV broadcasting the game, seeing Song Yang throwing the ball, the commentator joked to the audience and his partner on the side, "Everyone, what we see now is that the American genius baseball player, maybe The MLB debut of the most expensive baseball player in all of America!"
