Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 195 99. Isn’t this the other way around?

"Nani?! President, you are actually Furuhara Chunqiu?!"

When he learned the news, Ma Zhizhun was shocked.

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, "Huh? Haven't I told you before?"

"Teacher Furuhara had already resigned when I first came here!"

How can it be repaired?

Ma Zhi felt that his heart had been hurt ten thousand times, and the most important thing was——

Teacher Furuhara Chunqiu, how can he be the president? !

Although the president is also a very nice person, I always feel that there is no correspondence between the two.

"Then please continue to keep it a secret." Qing Zhiyuan scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Gu Yuan Chunqiu has been the stage name I used to publish game works from the beginning. I hope this will not affect me personally. Life, please forgive me.”

understanding?

I'm so sorry!

The teacher Furuhara Chunqiu whom I admire so much is actually the president.

This is unacceptable no matter how you look at it, okay?

It’s not that the president is not good, it’s mainly because Asahi Jun feels that the various delicate emotions expressed by Chunqiu Furuhara in the game, the beautiful painting style, and the beautiful and healing stories with a sense of fate are what makes him so popular. It was precisely because of these things that made Furuhara Chunqiu so charming that Ma Zhijun wanted to follow his footsteps.

As for Qing Zhiyuan...

Although he is also very powerful, there is almost nothing he does not understand in game production, and his ability is very strong, but he always gives people a sense of distance.

This sense of distance exists naturally and is an insurmountable relationship between the president and the members.

As for Gu Yuan Chunqiu and Ma Zhizhun, that is a spiritual bond...

Ma Zhizhun simply could not imagine that Teacher Gu Yuan Chunqiu had a face like Qing Zhiyuan.

In his imagination, Miyazaki Hayao is more suitable for Furuhara Chunqiu's appearance than Qing Zhiyuan.

But why?

But it’s the president!

"Hmm...Okay, president." Ma Zhi nodded. Although his heart was shattered and riddled with holes, he still forced himself to say to Qing Zhiyuan, "I will definitely keep it a secret."

…

At the end of March, the Famiton Awards were announced.

Because this was the first time for the Famiton Awards, everyone felt very novel.

I never thought that the gaming industry could have such an award.

The first is the ultimate award - the 1993 Game of the Year award. Famitsu voted for the game through players, and the game finally selected was "Kirby's Adventure" published by Rentendao.

It is playable and interesting for all ages, and with the cute Kirby image, it has been loved by many players and is a family-friendly game.

This is well deserved.

Then [MVC (Most Valuable Creator/Team)]: GAINAX. "Pretty Girl DreamWorks 2", released in 1993, created extremely high game value with its unique development system, healing plot, and beautiful girl image settings, so they were awarded the Most Valuable Creator.

[Best Script Award]: Pokeni Co., Ltd.'s "The Man in the Bed". The heart-warming plot, deeply touching, tear-jerking turns, tight and ups and downs of rhythm, the gripping stories between the male and female protagonists and various supporting characters, touch the hearts of players all the time.

[Best Game Graphics Award]: Pokeni Co., Ltd.'s "Bed Boy" brings players a brand new and dreamy visual feast with its unique and beautiful graphics that combine strong fairy tale colors and animation style.

[Best Game Soundtrack Award]: Pokeni Co., Ltd.'s "Belt Man", the warm and healing game soundtrack, earned enough tears from players

[Best Game Character]: Hinata Minami, a hedgehog girl from Pokeni Co., Ltd.'s "Belt Boy"

…

[Best Experience Game]: Dragon Quest V The Bride of the Sky

[Best Action Game]: Capcom’s “Dinosaur Fight”

…

This time, the selection was determined by players' votes based on the voting results from multiple dimensions, and Famiton also directly posted the corresponding number of votes received, which can be said to be very convincing.

The players also expressed their sincere acceptance and recognized the final result of the Famiton Awards.

Among this grand prize, the one that shocked everyone the most was probably pokeni’s "The Man in the Bed"

Won four awards directly.

"Kirby's Adventure is well-deserved. It's a really good game. It's one of Lao Ren's trump cards, right? I hope Kirby will do better and better in the future, surpassing Super Mario, but pokeni's What is it?

"Bedding Man" actually won four awards? "

"Is it difficult to understand? They have done a good job. Moreover, these games are voted for by players, which should be considered fair."

"Not necessarily, right? Works directed by fans may have a better reputation? And if we look at the number of votes from players, wouldn't games that sell well have an advantage? After all, where is the user base? .

Other niche types of games suffer. "

"The sales of the game are good, which also reflects the quality of the game from the side. Shouldn't it be the best-selling game that wins the award?"

"Well... the main reason is that I'm afraid that some niche but excellent works won't get enough exposure and will instead become hidden gems."

In fact, voting is a matter of opinion. If players are not allowed to vote, then authoritative experts will have to give scores. This will put the Platinum Palace into trouble. Besides, who can guarantee that the experts’ feelings are correct? What about?

At least if players vote, one thing is guaranteed -

Game popularity and quality.

The game with the most votes must be a more popular and blockbuster game. After all, the larger the player base, the larger the base, the higher the number of votes generated. This is why Kirby will become the best game of the year.

Rentiantian’s own publicity and distribution capabilities, coupled with its own platform, must be one of the best in the country. Kirby is also one of its major brand games and has a natural audience. The most important thing is——

Rentendao’s Kirby game is really good, so it has been recognized and favored by players.

On the other hand, another big IP owned by the company is not so lucky:

Since Rentiantian abandoned Sony and switched to cooperation with Philips, Rentiantian and Philips signed a cooperation agreement for CD-ROM models, allowing some Nintendo characters to be launched on the Philips CDI platform.

Zelda and Mario were unfortunately selected by Philips.

Last year, Philips produced a total of two games related to The Legend of Zelda, which can be said to be the dark history of Zelda. Both games are side-scrolling games, very shoddy, and there is no plot at all. , the picture was horrific and made countless players angry.

So last year, Rentendao released more than 10 games, but there was no Zelda name. Fortunately, Kirby was pretty good, which helped Rentiantian hold on to the market.

""Belt Man" is indeed a masterpiece in my mind. It really deserves to win four awards. It has fantastic graphics and a god-like plot. I cried countless times while playing it. This game is really It makes people love and hate it, but no one who has played this game can say it is bad."

"But, this is why it hasn't even been selected as the best game of the year."

"It's not bad. Who makes Ren Tiantang rich? Not to mention that Kirby's votes are also quite high. Although he didn't win other awards, Kirby's rankings are actually quite high."

"This is what is called second in every category, but first in overall strength."

"If "Belt Man" can win one more award for game features, it may become the best game of the year."

"It's impossible. Don't forget that Rentian's fan base is the largest. Since it is a voting system, of course it is based on the number of people."

"Ah~ Damn it, then I hope Famiton can change the voting system in the future to make the game selection more fair, right?"

…

In short, after Famiton launched this game award, it really set off a wave in the gaming circle.

Countless players and fans of various manufacturers have made a lot of money over [who is the real number one].

Rentendo players said that if Philips hadn’t ruined the Legend of Zelda with garbage, the Zelda series would have been able to win almost all the awards.

Square's players are even more aggrieved for their master: It's a pity that this year's Final Fantasy 6 has not been released yet. Otherwise, if it were released in 1995, Final Fantasy 6 should win all RPG-related awards, from character design to character design. From the story to the graphics, it should be Final Fantasy 6.

Konami players have similar views...

In short, each flower is in his own eye, and his own flower is the best. If not, it must be Famiton's fault, or else it is because his own trump card gave up the award to others due to time constraints.

Only pokeni fans are open-minded.

"It doesn't matter. Pokeni's galgame is originally a niche game. I'm satisfied if I can win the Best Story Award."

"That's right, if you can win the best story, what's there to regret?"

"The pictures, music, etc. are just additions to the story."

"Since I have won so many awards, should I send something to congratulate pokeni?"

"Huh? I had the same idea."

…

Famitsu said that if it weren't for "Belt Man", or for the galgame produced by pokeni, they would not launch the so-called Famitsu Awards.

Qing Zhiyuan said that this award is stingy and can compete with TV Tokyo. Giving you the award is an honor, plus a banana for each person.

However, it is always a good thing to win awards. At least Famiton's influence is here, and this wave of publicity can be considered good.

…

At the same time, after Famitsu’s Game Awards list was released, the old partner [Kyoto Animation] from Osaka also came to visit.

"Well, President Ao, it's like this. After we experienced your company's new game "Belt Boy", we really hope to animate this game. Can you agree?" Masuji Kigami said.

Although Kyoto Animation is now headed by Mr. and Mrs. Yata, the actual backbone is Masuji Kinigami. In the past two years, with the support of pokeni and the supervision and training of gods like Masuji Kinigami, the talents of Kyoto Animation have been They have made great progress one after another and trained many new people.

Kyoto Animation's painting standards are improving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

You can tell from the Pokémon's recent conversations.

With the blessing of Kyoto Animation, Pokémon's combat movements, special effects, storyboards...every aspect is different from the memories of Qing Zhiyuan's previous life, which is equivalent to a qualitative improvement. The funds are not enough, so storyboards are used to make up. , Masuji Kigami’s storyboarding skills directly raised the Pokémon battle to a higher level.

Even the relationship between Ash and Pikachu can be well rendered. Countless viewers said that the Pokémon animation is too strong in stimulating the audience's emotions.

If funds were not limited, Qing Zhiyuan felt that Kyoto Animation could do quite well.

Qing Zhiyuan was slightly startled when he heard Kigami Masuji's request.

I always feel that this scene seems familiar, but something seems not quite right.

If you think about it carefully, the relationship should be reversed.

In the past, pokeni wanted to animate the game and invited bids, leaving it to Kyoto Animation to produce and provide all the expenses, including the TV station, which pokeni himself contacted.

But this time, it was the other way around. Kyoto Animation wanted to animate "The Man in the Bed", and Masaharu Kigami also offered to give pokeni money for this.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Kyoto Animation is okay, it has money now.

He actually took the initiative to seek opportunities.

"President Qing, we sincerely think that "Belt Boy" is a good game, and if it is animated, it will definitely get high ratings.

But given the current financial situation of Kyoto Animation, we may not be able to pay high royalties..."

Masuji Kigami looked troubled and begged, "So, since we have been working together for so long and are familiar with each other, can you give us some discounts?"

"There's no problem with that." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "If that's the case, we don't need to collect copyright fees at all."

"Huh? Really?" Masuji Kigami was overjoyed. He didn't expect Qing Zhiyuan to be so generous.

Qing Zhiyuan said, "If we don't charge royalties, then Kyoto Animation and Pokeni will share the profits."

"Eh?"

Qing Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, do you really want to get a free ticket?

"Director Kigami, you also know that galgame is different from animations like Pokémon. The plot of galgame is the soul. Once it is animated, not many people will buy the game."

Yes, the core of galgame is the plot, so many galgame animations have exploded, but the game sales have been mediocre. This is also because the audience has already gained the game experience from the animation, and there is no need to spend money to play the game.

Therefore, many game animations are basically carried out more than half a year after the game is released. For this reason, a share must be divided, otherwise good profits will not be obtained.

Qing Zhiyuan's request is actually not too much.

After the emergence of VCD, animation CDs were actually quite easy to sell.

The animation market is also undergoing a small revival now.

…

Masuji Kigami thought for a while and quickly agreed.

It's just that the specific division needs to be discussed again, and according to Qing Zhiyuan's estimation, it will take a month or two.

"By the way," when Masuji Kigami was about to leave after having gained a lot, Qing Zhiyuan suddenly remembered something and stopped him, "We have two more games, which are expected to be released within this year. Let's see what you have by then. I have no interest in making it into an animation.”

"Um?"
