Game Development Giant

In the following days, Jester actually asked his film and television company to go to the lobby.

At the end of the season, Hans also used many of his contacts to get the opportunity to score Bruce's independent film, so the news was not a secret. In just half a day, Jester received an offer from the film and television company for him. The news came back.

Rejected Driving Miss Daisy. If Hans. Season end really gives up this opportunity for himself this time, he will suffer a big loss, and he will also owe him a favor. Jester watched I was a little shocked after hearing the news from the film and television company.

Although it didn't matter to him that he owed the other party a favor because he had plenty of opportunities to exchange it for the other party, the key point was that Jester had really heard of this movie.

Jester is not a movie fan. He has watched neither too many movies nor too few, but all of them are very famous. If he has heard the name of a movie and is particularly impressed by it, then he will To be sure, this movie must have a great background in history.

And it happened that Jester had heard of this movie called Driving Miss Daisy. Not only had he heard about it, he also knew that this movie had won an Oscar. He couldn't remember exactly what award it was, but according to Han With the level at the end of the season, it is quite strange to win an Oscar in the end.

This idea flashed through Jester's mind immediately when he saw the information. He immediately decided to give Hans Ji Mo another call, but he suddenly thought that the other party had agreed. If you directly say that you don't need his help, it may not be easy for the other party.

Therefore, Jester asked people to inquire about the specific shooting time of Bruce's movie. He took the initiative to stagger the shooting time of the second part of the Avengers series. Yes, Jester was giving Han When Si. had a phone call at the end of the season, he had already applied for filming with the film and television production company under Mars Entertainment. After giving instructions, he agreed to the shooting plan.

Moreover, Jester also plans to talk to people from this film and television production company in the future. If there are any good themes or scripts, don’t hide them and report them directly to him. If they are good, then start filming. And the second part of Avengers should have started filming long ago. It has been delayed for so many years, which is very inappropriate.

December 25th is Christmas, a traditional holiday in the Christian world. In the old days of Japan, before the Reform Revolution, there was nothing special about this day. However, since the Reform Revolution, Japan has implemented a comprehensive de-sinification process. With the comprehensive westernization, not only the Chinese Spring Festival has been moved to New Year's Day. Even fully embraced Christmas.

After World War II and the actual occupation of the United States, this trend became more and more popular, and in the days leading up to Christmas. It has basically become the most important shopping season of the year.

Generally, the most valued and important products of a company will be put into the market during this period of time if possible. Because the market is the hottest during this period, especially for games, the sales volume in these days during the Christmas period. It can even catch up with the total sales of the previous months.

Pokemon has now been broadcast on Fuji TV for nearly a month, and the ratings have been soaring. However, no TV station has yet discussed the second round of broadcast rights, and Fuji TV has also issued a death order. No matter how high the cost, we must win the first broadcast rights for the second round of broadcasts.

Although Fuji TV has now completely increased its offer, and also stated that as long as Mars Entertainment is willing to agree to their conditions, they will make up for the premiere fee that Pokemon should receive based on an animation with this ratings level. .

Tamahide Yoshiro is still a little excited about this. After all, Mars Entertainment is a commercial company. Although the two parties had some unpleasantness when discussing the broadcast issue of Pokemon before, the price Fuji TV is willing to pay is not what other TV stations are willing to pay. Willing to pay.

Because the prices that these major TV stations can offer for the second-round broadcast rights are almost the same. Fuji TV is naturally willing to pay the price that other TV stations are willing to pay, and considering the popularity of Pokemon, its own advertising fees are Can be received with soft hands.

What's more important is that they have already reaped the benefits of the premiere. According to the agreement they signed with Mars Entertainment, compared to the benefits they have reaped, what they have to pay is almost not worth mentioning, but such a Come on, Mars Entertainment is definitely dissatisfied.

Therefore, this time they took the initiative to take out the part of the profits that Mars Entertainment should get in exchange for the second round of premiere rights. From Tamahide Yoshiro's view, it is still very attractive.

However, according to Jester, this matter must wait until Pokemon is released. The most important thing now is to complete the release of Pokemon. This is the first time for Mars Entertainment to do so on Christmas. Season, featuring a handheld game.

In fact, there is nothing that can be done about it. Mars Entertainment originally proposed several Dreambox games internally and wanted to promote them during the Christmas period, but Jester rejected them without hesitation.

Because he had received very precise information before, this time Sega is holding back its energy and is preparing to make a comeback for Christmas. They have prepared at least three heavyweight productions for Christmas, all of which can compete with their own highest level. games comparable.

In addition, MD, the world's first 16-bit home game console, far exceeds the performance of Dreambox. After playing it for four or five years, I already feel a little tired of the eight-bit machine, even though it is processed by two PPUs. For players, the temptation of a 16-bit machine is difficult to refuse.

And choosing to go head-on with Sega at this time is obviously not a smart thing to do.

MD has been on sale for several months. During this period, Sega has not held any large-scale promotions. This obviously indicates that they are accumulating inventory during this period. Obviously they want to play a big game during Christmas. And Jester still remembers a story about the battle of the century between Nintendo and Sega.

When MD had just been launched in the United States, Nintendo's Super FC was still under intensive development, and they could only use FC to resist. It was also during the Christmas period, and they also prepared several very high-quality works. I was originally responsible for this. In fact, Arakawa Minoru didn't have high expectations. His purpose was just to try not to be left behind too much.

But the reality is that Sega's MD, the American version at that time was called Sega-Genesis, commonly known as the fifth generation of Sega's game consoles. During the Christmas period, the FC, which had already dropped its price to seventy-nine dollars, was defeated and defeated. At that time, The price of Sega MD in the United States is more than 220 US dollars.

Therefore, Jester concluded that it was not a good choice to go head-to-head with Sega, which was gaining momentum at this time.

My 16-bit computer will be available on the market in two months. There is no need to rush for such a short period of time. In just two months, it will not have much impact on the overall situation. My family has a big business and can withstand it. This time, it’s hard to say whether it’s Nintendo or not.

Nintendo has been intensively promoting several of their new games recently. One of them is a game produced by Shigeru Miyamoto. It is not a sequel, but a new series... An assistant looked at the document in his hand respectfully. Reporting to Nakayama Hayao on the recent feedback from the marketing department.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hayao Nakayama waving his hand. Hayao Nakayama frowned and said impatiently: I don't take Nintendo seriously. Before their new console appears, they only rely on The backward FC has no way to withstand our offensive... What I'm worried about is... Mars Entertainment, are they different from Nintendo?

The assistant understood what Hayao Nakayama meant. He nodded, quickly flipped through a few pages of materials, and turned directly to the page about Mars Entertainment. Then he continued to respectfully address Nakayama Hayao: ...This time Mars Entertainment seems not to be the same. There is not much promotion for the games on Dreambox. Although there are several games released during the Christmas period, these are not too important games. There is only one game belonging to Mars Entertainment and its studios.

And according to the previous publicity indicators given by Mars Entertainment regarding the emphasis on different games, these games are not of particular importance to Mars Entertainment. They are just used to fill in the game types and number of games. However, they have concentrated almost all of them. The promotion force is promoting Quake and Pokemon.

After listening to this, Hayao Nakayama pursed his lips tightly. He was also recalling the news and information about Mars Entertainment and Jester Lee during this period, and finally came to the conclusion that Mars Entertainment may have already removed them. The strongest development forces of the company are all being used to make games for their new 16-bit consoles, and for Dreambox, they may be squeezing out the last remaining value.

And what is certain is that after three months, no more than four months at the latest, when Mars Entertainment’s new console is launched, there will inevitably be a concentrated blowout of masterpieces.

Because the news he heard most showed that some time ago, several studios of Mars Entertainment in Japan were intensively developing games, and the games of these studios were all qualified to be promoted during the Christmas period. Games are used for promotion.

The success of Quake in Europe and the United States makes Jester inevitably promote it during the Christmas period, and Pokemon and their gamebog handheld mobile phone...

Nakayama Hayao recalled what Suzuki Yu had said to him before, and the expression on his face became uncertain. (To be continued...)
