Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 347 251 Game is a big hit! ! !

In fact, Nasu Mushroom and Takeuchi Takashi didn't think about it for long before they decided to come to Pokeni. After Akane Ayase signed the contract with them, she took the two of them to get familiar with the company's environment and colleagues, and first arranged the two of them against the wall. on the two empty seats.

Qing Zhiyuan kept his word and asked the two of them to set up a separate project team to make the games they wanted to make. If there was a project, just show it to him.

When the time comes, we will be equipped with corresponding programs and art.

If nothing else happens, there is a high probability that the first game produced by these two people will be "Sky Realm", which is still some distance away from the fate that Qing Zhiyuan wants.

However, pokeni is not short of money.

As the number of people in the company increases, more and more problems arise.

The first is the problem of insufficient space.

Akane Ayase couldn't help but complain to Qing Zhiyuan, "President, we have expanded several projects now. Once several Pokémon projects were launched, the company's staff doubled again. If this continues, the seats will be a bit crowded. "

"Emm... This is indeed a problem." Qing Zhiyuan touched his chin.

"First see if there are any vacant floors in this building for rent. If there are any, rent them all. If not, find a way to rent out a whole floor nearby.

Then what……

After this year is over, we will build a pokeni building by ourselves. "

"Huh? Really?" The little HR was overjoyed.

"Really, it's time to have a building of my own, right?" Qing Zhiyuan thought, after all, pokeni is now considered one of the top game companies.

…

After "Princess Mononoke" was released in August, it immediately achieved extremely popular results. Within the first week, it reached an astonishing 1.5 billion box office in Neon.

It has broken through the current box office ceiling.

The number of moviegoers has also reached a terrifying over 1 million, breaking Neon’s movie box office record, and is even expected to reach even higher.

In its previous life, the total local box office of "Princess Mononoke" was 19.3 billion yen, which was also the highest in history that year.

The current data is even more exaggerated than before, and it is hoped that it will eventually exceed 25 billion yen.

Of course, all this depends on the amount of films scheduled and how long the release can last.

But from the side, in addition to Hayao Miyazaki's reputation and the quality of "Princess Mononoke" itself,

pokeni must have played a big role in it.

It is precisely because P Club's game promotion effect is strong enough that its explosive performance at the Tokyo Game Show directly made countless viewers and players remember "Princess Mononoke" and have a strong interest in it.

Before the game comes out, going to the cinema to satisfy your craving is also a good option.

What's more, the movie itself is very good. Many viewers, after watching the first scene, are still not satisfied and continue to watch the second, third or even sixth time.

Generally speaking, this month can be called Ghibli month, or "Princess Mononoke" month.

…

"1.5 billion yen, that's amazing." After seeing this data, Pokeni's operations director Kazuma Takahashi also exclaimed in admiration.

"But after the theater chain divides it, the rest won't actually make much money, right?" Qing Zhiyuan said lightly.

Although different theater chains have different revenue sharing, and these are all undisclosed and confidential data, it can generally be estimated to be in the range of 6:4, with theater chains accounting for 6:4 Ghibli.

This is despite Ghibli's strong influence.

Some unknown directors and films may have far lower numbers than this.

Takahashi waited for two seconds and put on a mask of pain on his face.

"That seems to be the case."

1.5 billion, 40% is only 600 million.

After excluding costs and tax deductions, there is not much that Ghibli can get.

"Games are more profitable," said Kazuma Takahashi.

Under the same circumstances, if the sales of the game can reach 1 million copies, if the game is priced at 6,000 yen, then this will be more than 5 billion yen.

According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to more than 50 million US dollars.

For many small companies, this is an astronomical figure.

However, such results are not uncommon among pokeni nowadays. There are almost one or two games that can reach this level every year.

Of course, some of these will also be divided by the platform, and taxes will also be deducted.

But compared to the commission from theaters, the commission from gaming platforms is simply not very conscientious.

The dealer will also take a share, so in terms of profit, the proportions are actually about the same. The good thing about the game is that the unit price is relatively high.

"With this income, it will take several years before Ghibli can produce one." Kazuma Takahashi deeply felt that Studio Ghibli was not worth it.

Princess Mononoke has been in production since 1994, and it has taken more than 2 years now. In other words, it took Ghibli two years to produce a game with the same earning power as a certain pokeni studio.

The profit is even less.

However, Ghibli is already considered the top earner in the industry.

No wonder the game makes money.

Takahashi Kazuma once again deeply realized this.

"Actually, it's pretty good." Qing Zhiyuan said, "Not every game can achieve our level."

In the game industry, most games have sales of over 100,000, and those with sales exceeding hundreds of thousands are considered hits. There are also some perverted games like the Mario series that can sell millions or even tens of millions or thousands. Thousands of sales.

And pokeni is very stable and rising, and now one or two million is easily achieved.

Well……

Takahashi Kazuma choked.

"President, aren't we a little too arrogant when we talk like this?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The wild laughter of two people came from the president's office.

Akane Ayase, who was sitting outside, frowned.

The president is wandering again.

…

Later in the evening, Mr. Toshio Suzuki, the president of Studio Ghibli, called Qing Zhiyuan.

"Thanks to President Qing, the results of "Princess Mononoke" are quite good this time."

"No, no, this is actually because "Princess Mononoke" itself is excellent enough and Ghibli is well-produced. Otherwise, it would not have achieved such good results. We just added fuel to the flames and dare not say that it has any big effect."

"President Qing is really humble." Suzuki Toshio laughed on the other end of the phone.

"By the way, when we finish our work here and have a little time, please ask President Qing to make time to have dinner with us."

"You want it," Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Then, let's cooperate more in the future."

"Okay, Mr. Suzuki. It's a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to our next collaboration with Ghibli."

"We are also looking forward to it. Thank you pokeni and President Qing."

"No no……"

…

After hanging up the phone, Qing Zhiyuan raised his head and thought for a moment.

Mr. Suzuki may have just said a few polite words, but of course, his gratitude to them should come from the bottom of his heart.

As for whether we will cooperate next time, it is just a polite answer.

However, Qing Zhiyuan himself is very serious and extremely looking forward to it.

After Ghibli makes "Princess Mononoke", what's the next movie?

I don’t know anything else, but Qing Zhiyuan vaguely remembers the works directed by Hayao Miyazaki -

"Spirited Away"

ah!

It can't really be "Spirited Away", right?

When he thought of this, Qing Zhiyuan was filled with anticipation.

This movie is also very suitable for being made into a game, but it will definitely be much more difficult to make into a game than it is now, because there are many original and weird things in the entire story of Spirited Away, and the characters in it are also very interesting. Features.

Just thinking about Granny Tang's house makes Qing Zhiyuan feel dizzy.

However, if it can really be made in 3D, just like "Princess Mononoke", the world of "Spirited Away" will be very colorful.

A town full of legends.

There are also sea trains.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan became filled with anticipation.

…

Striking while the iron is hot, Qing Zhiyuan also rushed to promote the release of the "Princess Mononoke" game.

After the game was verified, Qing Zhiyuan immediately found Hattori Hiroyuki to discuss putting it on the shelves.

This time, Hiroyuki Hattori took the initiative to invite Qing Zhiyuan to go fishing at the lake.

The two men each took a fish bucket and were fully equipped.

"President Qing, you have given me many gifts before, this time I will give them to you."

"Eh?"

Qing Zhiyuan looked at him amusedly, then raised his head and looked at the sky again.

Does the sun rise from the west today?

"My lure rod is very useful. I will give it to you in the future."

Hattori Hiroyuki took out a set of fishing gear from the trunk of the car and handed it to Qing Zhiyuan.

This set of equipment alone is worth more than 2 million yen.

"Wow, is it so expensive?"

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't believe it. Such a broken pole was actually more expensive than golf equipment?

So scary, is this fishing?

Or do you want to catch Magikarp?

Qing Zhiyuan took it over flattered, and then looked around. He felt relieved when he saw a wide field of vision behind him and passersby passing by from time to time.

Otherwise, you have to buy a helmet, which is actually quite troublesome.

Hattori Hiroyuki taught Qing Zhiyuan step by step, telling Qing Zhiyuan how to hang the bait, how to throw the rod, and how to watch the float. Qing Zhiyuan was now officially a teacher.

The two people now entered the stage of business negotiations, and each sat down on the small mazha.

Hiroyuki Hattori wore a fisherman hat to cover his hairline, and he didn’t look so ugly anymore.

The sun is very bright today, making the lake surface sparkling and a bit dazzling.

The cicadas were chirping one after another in the woods behind, their chirping was particularly cheerful.

Come to think of it, the weather in August is really scorching hot.

Fortunately, it was relatively shady and cool by the lake, so I didn’t feel much heat.

"Let me guess, "Princess Mononoke" must be on sale this time, right?" Hiroyuki Hattori looked extremely happy.

"Well, President Hattori, you are really smart. You guessed it right." Qing Zhiyuan quickly took the gift box from the side and handed it to Hiroyuki Hattori.

President Hattori didn't even look at it. He took it and put it at his feet, keeping his eyes on the lake.

"This time, the release of "Princess Mononoke" will be left to President Hattori."

"It's easy to talk," Hiroyuki Hattori smiled very happily, "but you guys really came here at the wrong time."

"Princess Mononoke just debuted at the Tokyo Game Show, and the movie was released within a few days. As soon as the movie ended, the game was released immediately. From the beginning of the promotion in June to November, you guys took advantage of it."

"Ha, I'd like to lend you some kind words." Qing Zhiyuan laughed happily.

Hattori Hiroyuki is a seasoned guy. He knows exactly when to promote the game, when the game will be released, and how long it will last.

No wonder this guy was so proactive today. He must have been waiting for me to come to your door.

"We are cooperating with Ghibli this time, so all the schedules are set, so there shouldn't be any problems. With Miyazaki-senpai's movie in front, our game sales shouldn't be any worse. ." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Don't come to me with these." Hiroyuki Hattori waved his hand and opened his five fingers. "Just take this much."

"50,000 copies?" Qing Zhiyuan frowned slightly, "Please take some more. We are producing quite a lot of CDs this time."

"500,000 copies!"

Oops!

Qing Zhiyuan almost laughed out loud.

Hattori Yuichi was very bold when he made the move and directly ordered 500,000 copies.

"Aren't you worried at all that the game won't sell?"

Hattori Hiroyuki smiled and shook his head, "We are all old acquaintances, and with you and Hayao Miyazaki here, there will definitely be no problem with the sales of this game."

In fact, Hattori Hiroyuki had already seen the game conference at the Tokyo Game Show. When "Princess Mononoke" appeared on the stage, it was really a blast.

The whole audience was delighted. This kind of game requires almost no hesitation. Just one look at it and you will know that it is definitely a hit.

Coupled with the reputation of P Club itself and the blessing of Hayao Miyazaki, such a game can take off directly, right?

Hattori Hiroyuki is not stupid. Profitable things must be prepared in advance.

"Then thank you very much, President Hattori."

…

The two of them had a tacit understanding and they were all old acquaintances. The whole business was finalized in just a few minutes of discussion.

The rest was just chit-chat and fishing.

Fishing is similar to golf, and Qing Zhiyuan doesn't feel any fun at all.

But as long as Hattori Hiroyuki likes it.

For Qing Zhiyuan, one thing he was quite happy about was that by such a beautiful lake, enjoying the evening breeze, the sunset, and hearing the chirping of cicadas behind him, Qing Zhiyuan rarely enjoyed a different kind of tranquility.

At this moment, it feels like the whole world has slowed down.

There is no need to think about so many things, no need to be busy with work, and no need to pay public food to Tsuda Nao.

The days are so leisurely that people can't help but close their eyes and enjoy the tranquility and gentleness of the moment.

There is nothing more pleasant in the world.

Traveling with President Hattori felt like a vacation, something Qing Zhiyuan never expected.

Not long after, Qing Zhiyuan fell asleep on the chair.

When he woke up, the surrounding sky had completely darkened.

"woke up?"

Hattori Hiroyuki stood beside him and picked up a small bucket, "Let's go, I'm going to treat you today and take you to eat braised fish."

"Huh? Okay, okay."

Qing Zhiyuan rubbed his numb cheeks, stood up blankly, carried the bucket and followed Hattori Hiroyuki outside.

After finally waking up, Qing Zhiyuan asked doubtfully, "Um, President Hattori, how many big fish did you catch today?"

There must be a lot to gain, right?

Hattori Hiroyuki frowned severely and walked forward without saying a word.

Qing Zhiyuan jogged a few steps to follow. When he got closer, he realized that President Hattori was carrying an empty bucket.

Good guy, it’s actually zero!

However, it also verified the saying that poor students have too much stationery. The two of them fished for more than two hours, but they didn't catch a single fish.

"Fishermen never fly in the air force."

President Hattori said.

…

After going to the seafood market and buying some fish, Hattori Hiroyuki took Qing Zhiyuan to a tavern and asked the boss to cook them.

Although they didn't catch the fish themselves, the two of them enjoyed the meal very happily.

The two of them parted ways in the evening. Hattori Hiroyuki got into the car and stopped at a familiar place.

Without any hesitation, he directly threw the "Princess Mononoke" game disc in his hand into the trash can.

"bless!

The game is a hit! "

…
