Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 138 42. Is this a movie? !

"Then this time, I'll give President Hattori a lot of trouble."

Kazuma Takahashi, the general manager of pokeni's operations department, raised the glass in his hand and said with a smile.

"It's easy to talk, after all, this is not the first time we have cooperated." Hattori Hiroyuki smiled with a smile on his face, clinked with him, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"I wish the game a great sale!"

"Thank you, President Hattori." Kazuma Takahashi nodded slightly and responded with a smile.

In a daze, Hattori Hiroyuki saw the person in front of him as Qing Zhiyuan, and instinctively wanted to drag him to play golf or something, but when he was about to speak, he suddenly came to his senses.

I found that the person sitting in front of me was no longer Qing Zhiyuan.

Kazuma Takahashi is one of the few pokeni with relatively good looks, but he still can't compare with Qing Zhiyuan.

"Come on." Hattori Hiroyuki sighed.

After the cocktail party, Kazuma Takahashi personally sent Hiroyuki Hattori to the car.

Qing Zhiyuan transferred the corresponding business to the company's operating department. Takahashi Kazuma went to the dealers to have dinner, and small gifts were definitely a must.

After getting in the car, Hiroyuki Hattori looked at the gift box in his arms. Although it was still the same packaging, after changing the person, he felt something was wrong.

Qing Zhiyuan, the president, is young and good-looking.

Much better than Kazuma Takahashi.

But I don’t know why, Hattori Hiroyuki didn’t seem so happy with today’s meal.

It's not that he didn't drink enough, or that he felt there was something wrong with Kazuma Takahashi.

This middle-aged man handles problems with more maturity and ease, which makes you less aggressive. Moreover, drinking with Kazuma Takahashi is really business-like.

The entire wine bureau was very logical, there was nothing wrong with it, but there was nothing right about it.

In short, it is too stable.

After a while, Hattori Hiroyuki realized the difference——

After switching to Kazuma Takahashi, I lost a sense of disgust.

Yes, disgust.

This is the first time Hattori Hiroyuki has seen Qing Zhiyuan, and even now he has never lacked the feeling.

Hattori Hiroyuki is disgusted by being good-looking, young, and making money, especially being liked by Nao Tsuda from the bottom of his heart instead of just perfunctoryly.

"Why."

Hattori Hiroyuki sighed, without anyone to dislike, it would be a lot less fun.

Since Qing Zhiyuan from Pokeni is no longer here to coordinate, should Dongrun also consider finding someone more suitable to negotiate with Kazuma Takahashi in the future?

The reason why I ate with Qing Zhiyuan before was mainly because it was Nao Tsuda who took him there the first time.

Later, Nao Tsuda was no longer around, and Hiroyuki Hattori himself didn’t know why he wanted to eat with Qing Zhiyuan.

At this moment, Qing Zhiyuan was replaced by Kazuma Takahashi...

Hattori Hiroyuki felt an inexplicable melancholy in his chest, and he involuntarily lowered the car window, and then lit a cigarette for himself.

Taking a deep breath, he exhaled, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and felt a sense of relaxation all over his body.

But more than that-

I always feel a little lonely.

It’s the same meal, but you are the one who stays in the end.

Hattori Hiroyuki really wants to find someone else to deal with.

"President, how about you take the initiative to ask President Qing to have dinner and play golf?" the driver's voice came from the front.

Hattori Hiroyuki stopped holding his cigarette with his fingers. He raised his head and glanced, complaining, "You are the only one who talks too much."

The driver quickly drove the car attentively, but he cursed in his heart——

Or do you miss President Tsuda?

There was silence for a few seconds.

"But that guy Qing Zhiyuan is really annoying." Hattori Hiroyuki said to himself.

Just then, the car stopped.

Hattori Hiroyuki raised his head and looked around in confusion, and found that he was still in the same place, with trash cans on the street.

The driver waited quietly.

Hattori Hiroyuki thought for two seconds and still threw the "Your Name" cassette into the trash can on the roadside.

…

After entering November, pokeni also began to promote "Your Name".

After signing contracts with major game dealers, Takahashi started the post-publicity work non-stop. Not only did he post "Your Name" game posters in major stores, but he also specially produced corresponding promotions. piece.

Now that pokeni is rich, as the head of the operations department, Takahashi Kazuma has a lot of confidence.

This is what is called having money and not panic at all.

Qing Zhiyuan gave Takahashi Kazuma very high operating expenses and space. As long as he can think of it, he can do it.

In a word, it’s——

pokeni is not short of money now.

On November 4th, the PV of "Your Name" was broadcast on major TV stations.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the president of ELF Club, Hiruda Masato, has not left the company, but is quietly waiting in front of the TV, waiting for the promotional video of Pokeni's new game.

ELF Club, also known as Elf Club, was a very famous galgame game production company in its previous life. Its most famous work is "Students of the Same Level".

In this life, Hirudian Changren was inspired by many pokeni, and followed Qing Zhiyuan's footsteps on the road of galgame.

Although he and Qing Zhiyuan have never met, to Zhidian Changren, P Club is the teacher of the Elf Club.

They learned a lot from P Club.

In the second half of this year, Elf Club released "Same Level", which imitated the aesthetic style of P Club and was more perfect in game production. This love development game immediately exploded on the market and became a great success. .

So far, Elf Club has achieved quite good results by crossing the river by touching P Club.

Therefore, Hirutian Masato pays special attention to every new work of P Club, especially galgame.

This time the name of the king is no exception.

Ever since the report on Goletong, Hirudian Changren has had great expectations for this game. Whether it is the painting style or the urban theme, it is something that Hirudian Changren is interested in.

"Your Name" should be another urban theme after "The Reverse Man".

The Elf Club is now also very interested in this part.

Zhidian Changren’s own philosophy is——

If the graphics and characters can be done well, then galgame is already half successful.

But it would be such a waste if such a beautiful character didn't deserve a good story.

pokeni is a company that perfectly implements his ideals.

And just today, the promotional video of "Your Name" will be broadcast on TEPCO.

Although PV can be considered a type of advertising, it is different from advertising in that it lasts longer, but the cost is also huge. The time it is broadcast on TV stations is often shorter than the duration of general advertising.

This is roughly equivalent to a promotion period of about two weeks at most until the game is released.

Although the size of the game is limited and there is no way to add too much CG content, there are no such restrictions in advertisements and TV PVs.

So it can be done quite beautifully.

…

7pm.

The PV of "Your Name" was aired on time.

Zhidian Changren's eyes suddenly opened wide.

On the TV, a picture of the night sky appeared.

Although it is a night sky, the light is not dim. The background is deep purple, rich in layers, and the farther away you go, the deeper the city becomes.

At the same time, several long rays of light slowly fell from above.

It's the meteor dragging its bright tail.

The one in the middle still has a magnificent golden color.

The whole picture is rendered beautifully and flawlessly, making people's hearts move at a glance.

At the same time, as the meteors fall, the background color of the sky below is also changing, rapidly transforming from night sky to brilliant dawn.

The white sea of ​​clouds covers the bottom of the entire picture, and above it is a golden orange color rendered by the broken sun. There is a faint red halo at the junction, which makes the falling meteors blend into one.

"What kind of god-level painting is this?" Zhidian Changren sighed.

"This doesn't look like Kyoto Animation."

Although it doesn’t look like the style of Kyoto Animation, no one can tell what style Kyoto Animation is.

The style of pokeni is becoming more and more obvious.

And the painting style of "The Name of the King" has obviously reached a new level.

In the past, it was limited by the performance of the game, but now it is directly switched to the TV, which is naturally extraordinary.

This is almost movie-level detail.

And whether it is the night sky, shooting stars, sky or characters, they all have advanced aesthetics, so that people only need to take a glance to be deeply attracted by this style.

At the same time, a clear and lovely girl’s voice sounded in the screen:

"every morning."

"When you wake up."

"I don't know why I'm crying."

The scene switched and returned to the metropolis. A girl was sitting at home, covering one eye with her hand.

The background light was white and blurry, but the nearby desk lamp was unusually clear, as if it corresponded to a dream.

At this point, the voice in the screen changed and turned into a boy’s voice:

"It's obviously a dream I've had."

"But I always can't remember it."

"only……"

"It's just..." (female voice)

The two voices sounded at the same time, as if they were echoing each other.

"I've been looking for something."

"Do not you remember?!"

A red rope swings, as if to connect the past and the present.

At this moment, the hero's eyes suddenly opened.

The whole scene became cheerful, and at the same time, the BGM also sounded.

The screen switches rapidly, observing the changes in the entire world from the respective perspectives of the male and female protagonists.

The male protagonist, who is studying in Tokyo, has words written all over his arms.

The heroine in a small village woke up and found that there were contents in her notebook that did not belong to her...

The whole scene was extremely cheerful, but everyone's interest was immediately aroused.

"We are in a dream...".

"Swapping identities?!"

…

ha? !

Zhidian Changren was shocked and his jaw dropped.

Nani?

Swap bodies?

What setting is this?

Sure enough... pokeni never disappoints.

Especially when it comes to creativity.

In fact, body-swapping is not a new subject. As early as 1982, the Japanese movie "The Transfer Student" told a comedy story about two childhood sweethearts, a boy and a girl, who swapped bodies.

It’s just that it’s not used particularly frequently and extensively, and it’s been 10 years since 1982.

In addition, the painting of "Your Name" is very pleasing, and the historical background is closely related to the present, which makes people feel extremely interesting for a while.

"No, it's not a dream."

The male and female protagonists began to run separately, under the sun, in the cities where they lived.

The picture is still frighteningly exquisite.

And the character design is very modern.

The two people said in unison——

"that person!"

"I can't remember that person's name!"

"I've always wanted to tell you."

"No matter where you are."

"I must go to see you!"

…

Meteors whizzed past, corresponding to the opening.

At the same time, several lines of large characters appeared on the screen——

[The work of Gu Yuan Chunqiu’s retirement]

[On December 1, 1992, "Your Name" was officially released]

【Price only 8999】

【Absolutely touching work】

[The wonderful journey of a boy and a girl swapping bodies]

【Wait for you】

…

After reading it, the president of the Elf Club, Hiruda Masato, couldn't calm down for a long time.

To be precise, the current PV has aroused my emotions.

The promotional video is only less than one minute, but it contains a huge amount of information, and all the selling points of the game are spelled out.

After reading it, Zhidian Changren had only one thought in his heart -

wanna play.

Definitely go play this game.

Thinking of this, Zhidian Changren climbed to the side of the TV and rewind the video tape he had just recorded, preparing to watch it again.

Until now, he had never seen a game promotional video that did this.

In other words, no game's PV can achieve this level.

"Wait a minute," the moment Hiruda Masato pressed the remote control, a trace of doubt arose in his mind, "What the hell is this... a game?!"

Isn't this really a promotional video for an animated movie? !

…

"Huh? This is actually a game promotional video?!"

At the same time, in Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki sighed.

The 51-year-old Hayao Miyazaki had not yet turned completely white, and he looked more like a naive uncle next door.

I just glanced at it occasionally, but I didn't expect to see such an amazing PV tonight.

"Your Name" really surprised Miyazaki.

Nowadays, computers have not yet become popular. In other words, the PV of Jun Zhiyuan basically still adopts the hand-drawn animation method, but the original painting is provided by Makoto Shinjin of Pokeni (of course, Qing Zhiyuan also corrected some parts, striving to make it more realistic). The sense of the picture is closer to what he thinks of Makoto Shinkai’s works).

However, even this level is enough for people to notice the light blooming in this young painter.

The assistant Kondo Yoshifumi next to him nodded and said with the same disbelief, "Yes, this level can be used to make animated movies, right?"

And judging from the subject matter, the story should be super interesting.

Kondo Yoshifumi is Hayao Miyazaki's right-hand assistant and was responsible for the production of "Listen Ear" in his previous life.

Hayao Miyazaki was puzzled for a long time and asked a question, "How to play this kind of game?"

In his impression, the game should be like Super Mario, where you control villains to interact.

But if a game has a strong story and looks similar to a cartoon, how should players interact with it?

"Hmm...I don't know about this either." Kondo Yoshifumi smiled awkwardly.

"Are we too behind the times?"

Hayao Miyazaki looked at the picture on the TV, his eyes sparkling, "I want to experience this game once."
