Game Development Giant

Jester did not consider whether the Japanese would like this hard-core science fiction style, because currently, Japan is not his main battlefield. To put it another way, for conservative Japanese, even if they want It is also very difficult to use it as the main battlefield.

In order to open up the Japanese market, Microsoft invited Naru Toriyama, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Hero of the Racecourse, several figures with outstanding achievements in the RPG game industry, to jointly produce "Blue Dragon". The standard is not too high, and the content is not in line with Japanese aesthetics. , but the ending is still tragic. The sales volume of only a few hundred thousand copies is not even enough to recoup a fraction of the investment.

Of course, this was due to the lack of influence of Xbox 360 at the time, but it can still be seen from this that the Japanese are conservative about Japanese games.

Nintendo was able to survive until the time of Jester's rebirth, and was even able to live a comfortable life. These die-hard Japanese fans were indispensable.

On paper, I listed all the areas that need to be modified in "Heavy Mechs". Basically, in addition to the system where you can freely assemble your own mechas and tanks, there are also various wanted mission systems that have nothing to do with the main line and are worth retaining. In addition, most of the others need to be re-produced. Of course, the gambling system of the gambling machine in the tavern is also worth retaining. This setting perfectly matches the theme of the apocalyptic future sci-fi style game. As for the painting style, naturally what I need is a tougher painting style. It’s not the difference between Japanese and American. For example, K Club is a Japanese game company. But the painting style is very tough, so their games are also very popular among Americans. In the time and space before Jester was reborn, K Company was probably the most popular game company among Americans in this era besides Nintendo.

I remember when Jester watched a video of James the God of Fire, James the God of Fire in this video introduced "Contra". His evaluation of "Contra" was basically as big as his own. There are no American boys who have not played this game, and you can see the influence of K Club in the United States at that time.

Of course, K Company’s “Contra” and “Salomander”, games whose styles are extremely popular with Americans, do not sell very well in Japan.

so. In terms of the painting style, Jester also requested that it be as American as possible, or as hard-core as possible. This can be said to be the biggest difference from "Junior", and the changes in the plot and painting style are also It can be fundamentally determined that the new RPG that Jester is going to make will be completely different from the one in his mind. Jester is not an expert in this area, but he is very satisfied with the original soundtrack of "Jumpin". However, he had previously contacted Kadokura Satoshi, who was unwilling to work for him and forced him to provide music for him. There may not be any good results, after all, for a composer, active and passive can produce completely different effects.

Moreover, in Jester's eyes, after being modified by him, the style of "Heavy Gear" may need to be greatly changed. At least in the simulation in his own mind, the new "Heavy Gear" The soundtrack required by "Jibo" may have a faster tempo, and the melody needs to be more explosive. It is necessary to show a kind of doomsday ruins, desert sand, or other feelings through music.

Hu Weili's soundtrack is too Chinese-style. This is very obvious in Fire Pattern, and his style works wonders in some places with a slow and brisk rhythm. But in tense battles, Nobuo Uematsu is still better, but Nobuo Uematsu is very good at shaping the music of cold weapon battles, and what he is even better at is the ethereal and elegant beauty expressed by that kind of music, and in In this game, Jester needs a composer to express the explosive power and destructive power of music, and to make the music expand rather than restrain itself.

These styles of soundtracks are not what Hu Weili or Nobuo Uematsu are good at.

When choosing this candidate, Jester remembered a person who he took the initiative to investigate, not because of his game soundtrack, but because of his "Avengers" movie. Although His idea of ​​setting up a film and television company specifically to develop game copyrights has not yet been put into practice, but the preliminary work on the "Avengers" movie negotiated with MGM has begun in full swing.

In terms of selecting preliminary staff, Jester still trusted professional film companies like MGM, except that he suddenly remembered a soundtrack master he liked very much before his rebirth, who should not have become famous at this time. In addition, the selection of other staff members is basically the responsibility of the other party.

The future film score master that Jester thinks of is Hans Jimo, the author of the soundtrack for "Call of Duty 6". It is also the best one and the most outstanding soundtrack in the "Call of Duty" series. Of course, this is not It is not his most outstanding work. His classic works are simply countless in the eyes of any music lover in later generations. There is no doubt that he was the best soundtrack engineer in Hollywood at that time.

Of course, the current Hans Ji Mo is just a young man who is not yet thirty years old. Although he is also involved in the film industry and does some soundtrack work for some works, he is only in the capacity of a deputy. At this time, he He is not yet qualified to provide an independent soundtrack for a movie.

This is what Jester saw on the information sheet he got from someone not long ago. He originally wanted to find time to contact Hans. At the end of the season, he wanted to let him serve as the soundtrack for "Avengers". In Ste's eyes, Hans' explosive and destructive music style at the end of the season is very suitable for this movie.

However, because he had been too slow recently, he did not contact the other party immediately. But now that he thought about "Junior" and found that his composer could not control the style of music he needed well, he suddenly remembered Hans. Season finale.

As for whether the other party will agree to this matter, Jester is not too worried, because he is very clear about the opportunity to serve as an independent scorer. What does it mean for a less famous scorer like Hans Jimo? As a person full of passion An ambitious composer, as long as he contacts the other party, he will not and cannot refuse compared to Hans.

So, thinking of this, Jester looked at the time and saw that it was not too late. It should be too late, so he picked up the phone and called the company's staff in charge of external relations and asked them to contact Lily's backyard recording studio. When he settled in California, he wanted to make an appointment with Hans Ji.

Lily's Backyard Recording Studio is a small studio established in London by Hans Season and Stanley Myers. The reason why we were able to contact them in California was because the soundtrack of a work they participated in entered into a small film. Hans Qimo, who was selected as a candidate for the Film Award for the first time, was very excited and represented Lily's Backyard Recording Studio to participate in the award ceremony.

Therefore, Hans Ji was in Los Angeles during this period. This was also stated in the information about the other party that Jester had previously obtained. It even had the phone number of the other party's location, which was announced by the other party on its own initiative. Of course, Hans, who is a film score poet, hopes to find a score job in Los Angeles at the end of the season.

It was almost effortless to contact Hans at the end of the season. When he heard that someone wanted to ask him to score a major production, he was almost overjoyed and agreed to meet in the evening without saying a word.

The location was a French restaurant. When Jester arrived, he had already seen Hans Jimo, who had been there for an unknown amount of time and was dressed very formally.

The current Hans Ji Mo is only twenty-seven years old. He has blond hair and looks quite handsome. He does not have the old look that Jester will have when he looks at his photos in the future. Hans Ji Mo also knew that he was looking for him before. It was Jester. He had heard about this young man who was known as the youngest billionaire in the United States, but when he saw Jester's appearance for the first time, he was still a little surprised by his youth.

Talk about the youngest billionaire in the United States has long been buzzing around the world. Jester even heard that this year's Forbes magazine is planning to publish a list of the world's richest people in an issue at the end of the year. This is also the first time that Forbes has made such a list. , Jester had already heard about the Forbes rich list in his last life, but he obviously did not expect that he would have the opportunity to be on the list - this was basically a given, and Forbes had reported this before information.

After shaking hands with Hans Jimo, the two sat down.

There is no need for Jester to investigate whether Hans Ji is qualified for the job of scoring music. If he is not qualified, then there may be no other person who can do such a job, and it is also the style of music that he is extremely good at. Jester briefly told him the outline of the content of "Avengers" and the general amount of investment as well as MGM, especially after telling him that he was allowed to score the film independently, Hans was so excited at the end of the season that he almost Jester picked her up and kissed her.

But considering Jester's identity, Hans had no choice but to give up at the end of the season.

After these conversations, Jester talked to the other party about the soundtrack issue of "Heavy Soldiers". The reason why he did this was because Jester felt that someone as ambitious as Hans Jimo could possibly He was not very interested in scoring a game, but Jester only mentioned it briefly, and Hans agreed without saying a word.

Of course, it is unknown whether he really thinks that scoring a game is a good job, or whether it is just a way of repaying Jester for giving him the independent scoring qualification for "Avengers".

In short, without much effort, the soundtrack engineer of Jester's version of "Jester" finally found his candidate - Hans Season End.
