Hong Kong Comic Master

Jingumae, Shibuya District, Tokyo, Japan, is one of the most prosperous areas in Tokyo, with tall buildings everywhere.

There is a building in it. Although the building itself is not famous, there is a company here that is well-known throughout Japan, Asia and even the world. That is Capcom Co., Ltd.

The founder of this famous game company, President Kenzo Tsumoto, is now showing Li Wannian around the company with a flattering face.

Since Li Wannian successfully acquired Capcom in 1983, Li Wannian has never managed the company much, and has rarely intervened in the company's main business. At most, he asked them to make the "Street Fighter" game at the beginning of the acquisition.

However, when they were halfway through the production, they turned their attention to the "Second Dimension Battle" game. With Li Wannian's fame and super high operability, this game was a success.

But then, they also made "Street Fighter".

After all, the operating systems of these two games are essentially the same, at most they are just re-skinned.

At the beginning, this game was only tepid, and it was always less popular than "2D Smash", and had little influence.

But since the year before last, this game suddenly exploded in Europe and the United States, with sales soaring, and the profits it brought even exceeded "2D Smash".

After the company's analysis, it was understood that "2D Smash" is ultimately a fan-oriented game, and most players who like to play this game are fans of Li Wannian's comics.

But Li Wannian's comics in Europe and the United States are still niche culture after all, and most gamers are not fans of Li Wannian's comics.

So after "2D Smash" removed the fan filter in Europe and the United States, the sales were not good, but "Street Fighter", a game with a simple plot, was more popular in Europe and the United States.

Unknowingly, the situation developed to the point where even Capcom could not ignore the influence of "Street Fighter".

"Mr. Li, this is the latest Street Fighter 2 developed by our company. I believe this game can completely surpass the previous generation!"

In a research room of Capcom, Kenzo Qianben and Li Wannian stood in front of a game console, and Kenzo Qianben was introducing it to Li Wannian.

"Well, it's very good!"

In the original time and space, Street Fighter 2 is often listed as one of the greatest electronic games in the history of games. It is widely regarded as a pioneer of fighting games and is still considered by many purists to be the best example of this type of work.

However, the game in front of us is not the Street Fighter 2 in the original time and space, but the name is similar.

This is because, as early as the creation of Street Fighter 1, Li Wannian had already transplanted the operating system and many features of Street Fighter 2 into Street Fighter 1 in advance.

But this does not mean that the second generation today has no excellence!

What surprised Li Wannian was that this second generation game supplemented the weaknesses of the original first generation game without any help from him, and also added many European and American characters for the European and American market.

The creator of this game is really talented!

"This is Yasuda, the planner and character designer of this game. This guy is simply a genius!"

Kenzo Chimoto brought a short, fat, bespectacled young man to Li Wannian.

"Hello, Yasuda!"

"Mr. Li, hello! Nice to meet you!"

Yasuda was very excited to see Li Wannian. Facing Li Wannian's outstretched right hand, he quickly stretched out both hands to hold it!

Yasuda, who is only 25 years old this year, can be said to have grown up watching Li Wannian's comics, and also because of him.

Because he was influenced by Li Wannian's comics when he was in college, he dropped out of the Department of Commercial Design of Tokyo Designer College in 1984 and chose to become a painter.

At the beginning, because he did not have a diploma, he was just a temporary worker at Capcom Tokyo Branch.

But as we all know, there are tough people among temporary workers. Soon after, his talent was discovered by Kenzo Chimoto, and he soon entered the design department and became the leader of the design department.

When Street Fighter 1 was being produced, he was a participant, but in the second generation, he became the project leader.

You know, until this year, he was only 25 years old.

"Well done, you are worthy of being the talent that President Qian Ben has chosen!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li, I have always been your fan, can you sign for me?"

Facing Li Wannian's praise, Yasuda Lang was very excited.

"Hahaha, no problem!"

Li Wannian was very pleased with Yasuda Lang's exaggerated words.

Although Li Wannian has met many celebrity fans over the years, he has never been too few for these celebrity fans.

After signing for Yasuda Lang, several people came to Qian Ben Kenzo's office and started to talk about business.

"In addition to visiting, I came here this time, and more importantly, I want to understand your company's current technical capabilities!"

At this point, Qian Ben Kenzo and Yasuda Lang sat upright at the same time and pricked up their ears.

What do you need to do to understand technical capabilities? Obviously there is work to be given to them!

"Then Mr. Li, what do you think of our company's technical capabilities?"

"Hahaha, relax, I trust your technology, but I don't know if your personnel reserves are enough to support several projects at the same time?"

"At present, the production of "Street Fighter 2" has been completed. In addition to another project, the technical staff we can currently deploy can support the production of two large-scale projects at the same time. Any more will probably delay time!"

Kenzo Shikimoto did not take credit for the project and directly took over the project. Instead, he carefully evaluated his company's capabilities and gave the most accurate figures.

Li Wannian was very satisfied with Kenzo Kenzo's answer. Of course, he also knew that the other party was a person who knew how to measure.

If the other party really accepts everything regardless of the project, then Li Wannian will doubt Kenzo Kenzo's ability.

Such people are either bad or stupid!

Either way, it is impossible to establish a game company like Capcom!

"You also know that "Street Fighter" is a game adapted from comics, and what I want you to do this time is also a game adapted from comics!"

"What manga? Bleach or Naruto?"

Yasudaro is indeed a fan of Li Wannian, and immediately thought of several of Li Wannian's comics.

"No, the games I plan to let you make this time are "Pokémon" and "Pokémon"!
