Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 294 198. The Ninth Art

As soon as the press conference ended, reporters from magazines and media got in their cars and rushed back, just to be the first to publish an article.

Fruitlet reporter Reiko Katayama was also present.

When Reiko hurriedly greeted Qing Zhiyuan and was about to drive back to the magazine, she was stopped by President Qing.

"President Qing, is there anything else you can do?"

Katayama Reiko asked obediently.

"Well, I have an idea, let's see if you can use it in tomorrow's report." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Yeah. Okay." Katayama Reiko nodded slightly.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Katayama has become much more capable. From the long hair at the beginning to the neat short hair now, he is wearing a thin white shirt and a knee-length skirt underneath, which is very straight and energetic.

"Well, just now, did you hear Mr. Kutaragi's speech?" Qing Zhiyuan said, "The reason why we want to separate electronic games from the traditional toy ranks is because electronic games themselves need to develop, and there are also more Big room for development and a great mission.

Among them, Mr. Kutaragi used the word "art". "

"Uh-huh."

"Then, what I'm thinking about is, in your report tomorrow, can you call video games the [Ninth Art]?"

"Huh? The ninth art?" Katayama Reiko was slightly stunned.

The first reaction was unexpected.

The second reaction is——

This word is also great!

Even though she didn't know what the previous eight arts were, Katayama Reiko somehow felt that President Ao's word had a powerful halo-like effect.

"Yes, the ninth art." Qing Zhiyuan counted on his fingers, "Painting, sculpture, architecture, music, literature, dance, drama, and film.

If today's games can become a new art category, wouldn't they be the ninth art? "

The advice Qing Zhiyuan provided to Reiko, calling the game the ninth art, directly overturned her Tianling Gai.

"The Ninth Art."

Katayama Reiko thought about Qing Zhiyuan's words. The word was like a delicious delicacy. It tasted endless after chewing it twice.

A ninth art not only directly brings the game category to an unprecedented height, but also has a great sense of novelty. Even just seeing the word can trigger readers' desire to read and endless imagination.

"Ah! President Qing, thank you so much. You are truly a genius."

Katayama Reiko was grateful.

"No problem, then, Katayama, please cheer up." Qing Zhiyuan smiled and encouraged them.

"Okay, President Qing. I'll take my leave now. I have to go back and write this news about the Ninth Art earlier."

"Well, come on!"

…

After returning home, Katayama Reiko wrote today's report on the Electronic Entertainment Industry Association with great ease and excitement.

The most important thing is to get Qing Zhiyuan’s four-character mantra: [The Ninth Art]

This term was actually proposed very early in the previous life. Someone first proposed it in the 1930s, but it just collectively referred to other art forms besides the eight major arts as the ninth art.

It was actually used specifically to refer to games after the release of Rentendao's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in 1998. People saw that games also had artistic expressions that were not part of movies and reached unprecedented heights. Driven by this trend, The concept of games as the ninth art was first proposed.

Qing Zhiyuan is equivalent to putting what will happen in the future into the present.

But for the entire gaming industry, and for Goletong, the concept of the Ninth Art is too relevant and important.

In the process of writing the article, Katayama Reiko felt her blood surge up. She even got to the point where she was so excited that she couldn't help but stand up, open the curtains and look at the outside world.

Who would have thought that such a toy that seems to be just for entertainment can also radiate such huge energy.

Reiko Katayama was quite touched and felt that she was standing in the center of the whirlpool of the times.

The birth of this word means that the game has its own special core and a distinctive flag.

But now, this name, this concept, and this flag were given by her hands and pen.

Is there anything more exciting than binding your name to a keyword that affects an era?

For writers like Katayama Reiko, this may not happen once in a lifetime.

there is none left.

If you miss this opportunity, it will be gone.

After sighing for a while, Reiko returned to the work table and completely tore up the original page [Game and Entertainment Industry Association: New industry regulations will be formulated] to shreds.

Then on the next page.

He wrote——

[The Ninth Art: Games will be redefined]

…

On the second day after Kutaragi Ken held a press conference, major media newspapers and magazines reported on the matter.

[Shocking: Sony takes the lead in creating the Electronic Entertainment Industry Association]

[Electronic Entertainment Industry Association: A new game industry maker? 】

[Sony’s ambition: formulate game specifications]

[Is the Electronic Entertainment Industry Association good news for the gaming industry? 】

Neon's media magazines are full of gimmicks, and media people know how to name headlines.

The article not only extensively reported on Kutaragi Ken's conversation at the press conference, but also mentioned the words of some other game company bosses, especially Qing Zhiyuan's voice, which was completely recorded.

In addition, the most widely reported thing is Kutaragi Ken's remarks to Rentendo and Sega, as well as a speculation about the future direction of these two companies.

In short, the title is as exciting as it is, the content is as exciting as it is, and the same is true for the content.

But one of the magazine reports had a very special title.

In Goletong's "Game Information Morning News", the content of the press conference is called "The Ninth Art: Games will be redefined"

The title does not use words shared by other colleagues.

Not even the Game Entertainment Industry Association, Sony, or Kutaragi Ken were mentioned.

Instead, the ninth art was adopted.

This report is written from a higher and broader perspective.

In this magazine report, Sony’s Game Entertainment Industry Association has changed from a protagonist to a supporting role.

He is the one who leads such a great proposition as the Ninth Art.

Editor Reiko Katayama mentioned:

[Games have been around for 48 years now. They have many of the same artistic expression capabilities as movies, and even surpass all current forms of human artistic expression in terms of experience.

If we really want to give a more detailed explanation to this art, then I think it can be called "virtual art"

Games are created by humans and are secondary processed simulations of reality, imagination, the spiritual world, life, and the universe.

In such works of art, human beings experience endless image power, and this more intuitive and immersive feeling will bring unparalleled enjoyment to the human brain.

Games are the well-deserved ninth art.

Now, Sony, pokeni, Konami, Capcom...

The Electronic Entertainment Industry Association they created is just an effort to bring this art to players with a higher quality experience.

I also sincerely hope that this association will get better and better, and promote the Ninth Art to the world. I also hope that the Ninth Art can give birth to unparalleled human cultural crystallization.

This is a higher form of art that is more in line with future development directions and can better reflect human wisdom.

I hope Ninth Art will continue to prosper. 】

…

"Wow, the ninth art! That's such a good word!"

When he saw this report, the first reaction of the president of the Elf Club, Hiruda Masato, was that he was very happy and his eyes lit up.

"Sony really made a big move this time."

With the release of the report "The Ninth Art: Games Will Be Redefined" by Goletong, gamers are very excited.

Because before this, games were bound to toys, and sometimes they were even stigmatized, thinking that this thing could easily consume people's willpower.

Especially in the early days of galgame, many people thought the game was vulgar because there were many uninteresting games in the industry.

Many game companies basically use games as a means to make money.

It is a product, a commodity, something used to make money, and it will hardly rise to a particularly high spiritual value.

But there are indeed many game products with high spiritual levels that are not inferior to movies at all. These games can be called art.

And now, the concept of [Ninth Art] proposed by Guo Letong has directly given everyone a very bright banner.

When people in the game saw this word, they felt their backs straighten.

People in the industry have praised Guo Letong for its well-written reports.

"The writing is really good. The editor Reiko Katayama who wrote this report is simply a genius in choosing words."

"I feel like the things I made suddenly become taller."

"It's really exciting. I have a sense of pride and mission that I have never experienced before."

"Ah~ art, the crystallization of mankind's great wisdom and culture. Games are actually something like this. This is the first time I have such an understanding."

"I used to feel happy playing games, but now I actually have a little bit of spiritual pursuit in playing games. This report is really amazing."

"The most remarkable thing is that while it enhances the status of games, it also gives the Electronic Entertainment Industry Association, which Sony and so many companies jointly created, the most upright reason."

As soon as this flag came out, it became extremely controversial, and it basically brought the world back to its core.

…

Studio Ghibli's Hayao Miyazaki seemed extremely happy when he saw this report.

"The ninth art is so well written."

The same was true for movies back then. The situation of becoming the eighth art is similar to that now. In fact, it is all the result of the continuous growth of the film and television industry and its increasing influence on the world and people.

Filmmakers themselves are very proud of [art].

Like Hayao Miyazaki himself, in addition to creating animation works that make children happy, he also hopes that his works will have artistic value and artistic achievement.

Ever since he glimpsed the potential of games to express and increase experience in the past two years, Hayao Miyazaki had a strong premonition——

Games can one day become a spiritual and cultural carrier like animated movies.

But I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Reiko Katayama who wrote this report is a genius.

Next to him, Suzuki Toshio covered his mouth and laughed.

"This term, don't you think there is always a strange feeling in it?"

"Huh? What should I say?" Hayao Miyazaki asked in confusion.

Suzuki pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word.

He thought for two seconds before saying, "This may be just my guess. I always feel that it was not Reiko Katayama who invented this word, but someone else."

"No, to be precise, the person who can put forward this idea of ​​connecting the ninth art with games may not be Katayama Reiko."

"Um?"

Hayao Miyazaki is even more confused.

Edit an article signed by yourself, but the concepts in it are not your own?

"Who else could it be?"

Suzuki Toshio laughed and shook his head, "Who knows."

Maybe the president of a game company who really has an extremely deep understanding of the game industry may not say so.

…

When players saw this report, their eyes lit up.

The Ninth Art gives legitimacy to the game, and to the players as well.

"Wow, an uneducated person like me can actually get involved with art one day. This is something I didn't expect."

"Yes, yes, gaming is actually the ninth art."

"Isn't it? Think about it, galgame, a branch of the game, has the potential to be a movie animation. Movies themselves are one of the arts. Can games not be art?"

"Yeah, yes indeed."

"In the future, don't say we are playing games. It should be said that we are experiencing the ninth art."

"Hahahaha... Yeah, experience the ninth art."

…

"How can it be repaired!!!"

"Damn, damn, damn, damn!!!"

Saw news reports.

Pu Uuchi of Rentiantian Mountain was about to explode with anger.

There are a bunch of media newspapers lined up on the table. I grab one and throw one away.

I feel like I'm going to have high blood pressure.

What is this called? This is called a slap in the face!

Sony and these game companies are so hateful!

No, the most hateful thing is Sony!

These guys are really lawless. They openly invited Ren Tiantang to join this association, but in fact they saw Yamauchi's character clearly. It is impossible for him to agree to this kind of "cooperative behavior" that is inferior to others.

"Sony is setting up an electronic entertainment industry association, right?"

Yamauchi Pu said bitterly, "Then I want to do one too!"

…

On Sega's side, Nakayama Hayao was not much better, his expression was extremely ugly.

At this moment, Rentiantian's sworn enemy has not yet been defeated, but there is a strong competitor like Sony.

Not only did Sony enter the console war, it even organized an electronic entertainment conference like this, making it clear that it wanted to steal its big brother.

As for Sega, they are basically at a disadvantage in the console war. Originally, they could rely on the lack of particularly good games on the PS to survive for a while. Now that Pokémon 3D is released, Hayao Nakayama feels a little bit disappointed.

"hateful!"

Nakayama Hayao held his aching chest and felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark.

This is being attacked from both front and back by Rentiantian and Sony.

What's even more uncomfortable is that there are pokeni behind it, adding fuel to the fire!

Sega is now in a very dangerous situation. After losing the console war, it may be facing a crisis of complete defeat.

This complete failure is not just a simple failure, it is mainly because Sega's debt is very heavy, and if it does not recover its blood in time, there is a real risk of bankruptcy.

When he thought of this, Nakayama Hayao felt even more chest tight and short of breath.

I almost fainted.
