Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 367 271. This pushing feeling is too strong!

In November, pokeni company released several blockbuster news one after another, which may not matter to those who are not related to it, or even not important at all, but to those who are related to the news, these pieces of news are like super impure weapons. Just like that, the kind that can directly turn the world upside down.

There are two sections on pokeni's official website, one of which is a nationwide call for essays on comics, and the other is a call for essays on light novels.

The selection period for the Grand Award is from December 1, 1996 to May 1 next year, and will be held every six months.

Many authorities invited by the official will make the selection, and finally the grand prize will be determined. The winner will receive a bonus of 10 million yen.

Then the top ten all have high bonuses, but not as much as 10 million.

In addition, the official will also select outstanding and potential works for gamification, animation, and possibly film and television. Everything depends on the quality of the work.

The official purpose of launching these two activities is nothing more than two.

One is to inspire creators to create more exciting stories, and the second is to promote pokeni themselves.

P Company has many popular game works, and many of them have been adapted into animations or live-action TV series.

The most popular one recently, "The Proposal Battle" is actually a typical example.

Kazuma Takahashi, the operations director of pokeni, also personally came forward to confirm the reliability of the news.

After the news from P Agency was released, the entire comics and light novel industries were shocked.

"Nani?! Pokeni is going to hold a comic award? And the prize money is as high as 10 million?!"

"Not only does the first place get a huge bonus, but the top ten actually have rewards, and haven't you seen it? Official news says that the one who gets the publishing rights and the right to make changes in the end is not necessarily the champion work.

It can only be said that there is a high probability that it will be the champion work.

After all, if you can win first place, you also need to be recognized for your quality and creativity. "

“I’ve never seen such a high bonus before.”

"It's so scary. I can't believe this is true. P Agency is really generous in taking action."

"What is pokeni doing?"

"Yeah, isn't pokeni a game company? Why did you think of holding a comic award?"

"Look at their official statement, isn't it very clear?

The winning work will not only win a large prize, but also have the opportunity to be adapted into a pokeni game or animation..."

"This is not only true for comics, but also for light novels."

"Light novels are actually the soil for comics or games. If light novels can take off, they will definitely breed a large number of excellent games and animations."

"Pokeni is really serious. I originally thought this was a company that only made games, but I didn't expect that they were involved in many fields."

"If P Club benefits others, it also benefits itself."

Many authors expressed their excitement:

"Ah, great. I also want to change to a high-end stereo. If I can get the grand prize bonus now, I should be able to realize my wish."

"10 million! It's equivalent to an office worker's income in three to five years."

For neon office workers, the average monthly salary for boys is about 300,000 yen, and their annual income is 3 to 5 million. Those with higher qualifications may earn 10 million a year.

From this point of view, the 10 million bonus is not exaggerated enough to make people wealth free, but it is already a considerable bonus.

At least for most people, it is actually possible to use this money to go on a luxury trip or buy some things that they usually want to buy but are a little painful.

It can improve your life in a small way in a short period of time.

However, for some young people who regard the creation of [comics] or [light novels] as life, as work, and as an ideal, this money is extremely important.

Especially those authors who are determined to develop on this path, but have no job and are down and out. If they can participate in such a big award and win the prize, they can at least have a living security and make their ideal path possible. Extend it.

This is a large part of the reason why pokeni holds two events.

What Neon is most in need of are cartoonists and light novel authors.

However, what is most lacking are cartoonists and novel authors.

According to Qing Zhiyuan's idea, maybe in the long history, many talented and talented authors gave up their dreams because of the pressure of life, and thus disappeared from history.

Unknown geniuses.

This is what Qing Zhiyuan wants to dig deeper.

And according to his idea, after the network develops in the future, a network platform should be provided.

Adopt a serial network charging model.

Giving everyone a certain guarantee will allow more authors to participate, and on the other hand, it will also allow people who like light novels and comics to find what they like.

No matter how niche it is, it still has its own soil.

By doing this, it seems that pokeni is losing money and has no profit.

After all, they are spitting out money, using the money to hold events, and using the money to open platforms.

But this is ecology.

It is soil, soil that can grow more and better seeds.

In the future, these seeds may grow into towering trees, but that's not necessarily the case.

At that time, the works on the platform will be able to feed pokeni back.

Excellent soil and environment are very, very important.

Focusing on the future, this is the purpose of Qing Zhiyuan in letting Takahashi Kazuma organize the event.

The event attracted a large number of authors, and everyone was eager to give it a try.

…

The addition of pokeni has suddenly swept up related industries.

"What are pokeni doing? A game company doesn't even have a publishing house under it. Do they want to get involved?"

"Pokeni Game Company, are you going to enter the publishing industry?"

"Why are game companies joining in the fun? It's such a waste for a guy who doesn't even own a magazine to hold such a competition."

"Ten million is not a small amount. How can anyone give such a high reward?"

"That's it."

For publishing groups that have comics magazines, light novel magazines, and various publications, bounties are actually a gimmick. The real money lies in the sales volume after publication.

For some popular comics serialized in magazines, one most hopes to be independently published and printed into a complete set of comic collections, which is equivalent to the disc sales route of games.

The other one is to hope that it can be animated. After it is broadcast on a TV station, not only can he receive royalties, but the author's reputation will also increase accordingly.

Then the next work will naturally lift all boats.

For example, Togashi, the old thief, just because the sales of the comics are so good, the popularity is so high, and he can also find a rich woman, so he doesn't care about urging the manuscript at all. He can draw a comic as long as he wants, whatever he wants. Paint whenever you want.

To a certain extent, comic book authors are more like celebrities. Once their net worth increases, they can make money while being chased and fed.

Of course, publishers will make concessions in order to retain such famous authors as much as possible.

Precisely because the bulk lies in [publishing] and [sales], even if publishers hold a grand prix, they will not provide too high bonuses.

Almost 500,000 or 1 million can buy you a nice set of golf equipment or replace it with the latest computer. That's about it.

Who can pay as much as 10 million?

pokeni's current move seems to be very strange.

Since you have no magazines or publications of your own, how can you allow participating authors to obtain higher rights and interests.

This is something that many established publishing groups don’t quite understand.

But, the bonus is really high.

It really attracted a lot of authors, which gave them quite a headache.

To follow or not to follow.

In addition to Tokugawa Shoten... Shogakukan... Otowa Group (with Kodansha as the core), Kadokawa Group (with Kadokawa Shoten as the core), Shinchosha and other publishing groups that have been working hard for many years.

In the gaming industry, Yasuhiro Fukushima, the president of Enix Co., Ltd., is also confused.

"What are you doing pokeni?"

pokeni does not regard money as money at all, and 10 million is not a small amount.

He felt fear deeply.

Mainly because the game industry holds comic awards, and Enix does this. As a competitor in the same industry, pokeni's move is obviously aimed at them.

Even if it is not directed at them, Enix is ​​the gaming company that will bear the brunt and be seriously affected.

No matter what, players will compare Enix to pokeni.

Who told you to hold a comic award before?

However, Enix also did this based on the idea of ​​selecting talents.

I didn't expect that this shameless scum Qing Zhiyuan would learn this trick.

A high bonus of 10 million yuan was given at once, and maybe it will continue to increase in the future.

Enix is ​​not as wealthy as pokeni.

Should I follow or not?

For Yasuhiro Fukushima, this is a huge headache.

…

Just when there was an uproar in the related publishing industry, as well as the comics and light novel circles, the initiator of this incident——

Mr. Qing Zhiyuan acted like a normal person and was driving on the beach with his newlywed wife.

The car they drove today was a little different. It was a sports car that Nao Tsuda had brought back from Europe——

Lamborghini, Diablo.

$3.8 million a car.

Equivalent to more than 350 million yen.

A particularly scary number.

Lamborghini, Diablo model, born in 1992, has a 12-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 370 horsepower and a top speed of over 280KM/H.

In 1996, this speed was still beyond imagination.

Especially with its streamlined and technological styling, it feels like driving a future spaceship on the road.

The pushing feeling is particularly strong.

Of course, on the neon streets, you definitely can't run at this speed, so you can only feel it when Nao Tsuda steps on the accelerator.

The sound from both sides was so loud that it made people's ears buzz.

On the street, it is true that the rate of turning around is very high. Even the traffic policemen passing by look back from time to time.

The car behind them kept a certain distance from them, for fear of wiping the bull in front of them or something.

According to the plot in ordinary novels, Lamborghini is just for showing off when it is driven out.

However, for Qing Zhiyuan and Tsuda Nao with such net worth, having a sports car like this is probably just to suit their status.

If it wasn't for Nao Tsuda's car, Qing Zhiyuan himself would not have bought it.

Anyway, if you buy it, you won’t be driving it yourself.

A sports car with only two seats is uncomfortable to sit in, and it can't drive at the maximum speed on the neon streets, so why bother.

"What kind of movie are you filming, and you actually use such a luxurious car?" Qing Zhiyuan sat in the passenger seat, feeling a little incredible.

"Well, a rich man movie."

Nao Tsuda responded while driving.

All her attention was on driving.

"The daughter of a rich man always drives a luxury car and goes on dates with other men. This is probably a story like this."

The movie can be summed up in one sentence, but it takes more than 2 hours to perform.

What the hell kind of movie is this?

Qing Zhiyuan clicked his lips, "Didn't you expect that the audience today is so demanding?"

"Then, do you think the movie is easy to make? The tastes of the audience are constantly changing, and you have to adapt to them."

"But can't we just get a prop instead of a real car?"

"We are professionals."

"Hey~"

Qing Zhiyuan frowned.

He couldn't help but glance at the seat next to him.

It’s over, I don’t want to take this car anymore.

As soon as he thought about something violent happening in the car, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Not in the car."

As if seeing through Qing Zhiyuan's thoughts, Tsuda Nao squinted and said, "On the front hood of the car. The space inside the car is too small, it can't be used at all, and the camera has to be added."

"And you didn't buy this car, it was rented. You have to return it when you're done using it. Don't always think about weird things."

"It's not what I thought..."

Qing Zhiyuan rolled his eyes.

"In this case, it would be a waste not to enjoy it." Qing Zhiyuan said.

I finally got it, but if I don’t experience it, I really feel sorry for this car.

And he had to experience it before Tsuda used it to make a movie. After the movie, Qing Zhiyuan didn’t want to experience it anymore.

"But I'm really not used to left-hand drive vehicles."

After driving for a while, Tsuda Nao said.

"Let me do it."

I am familiar with left-hand drive cars!

In my previous life, I drove a left-hand drive car in China.

After traveling back to Neon, Qing Zhiyuan was not used to right-hand steering at first, and often felt as if he was going to hit him in the next second.

Now I am getting familiar with it.

However, Qing Zhiyuan has never tried such a thing, driving a left-hand drive car in the left lane.

Qing Zhiyuan got out of the car and exchanged places with Tsuda Nao.

I have to say that this Lamborghini car has a really strong push-back feel. After getting on the road, Qing Zhiyuan felt that he was the most handsome guy on the street.

Tsuda Nao sat next to her, rolling her eyes from time to time.

Probably means——

cut.

man.

Just like cars, guns, balls, excavators, mechas, stars and the sea, right?

Qing Zhiyuan gave her a look.

wrong!

We also like women.

Especially a beautiful woman like you.

I don’t believe it.

Tsuda Nao rolled her eyes.

"By the way, Nao-chan, can you lend me this car for a while? It's only for half a day. I'll drive it back in the evening."

"Then don't break it, we have to return it." Tsuda Nao warned.

"no problem."

…

When Kutaragi got off work in the evening, as soon as he walked out of the office building, he saw a yellow Lamborghini parked in the most eye-catching position at the entrance of the company.

He was still wondering who bought this car, but the owner was already calling him.

"Mr. Kutaragi, get in the car quickly."

Opening the car door is like putting up a little wing.

"Eh?"

Kutaragi Ken was stunned for a moment, but he obediently got into the passenger seat.

"President Qing, have you changed your car?"

Qing Zhiyuan drove a Honda before, not because he wanted to drive it, but mainly because as the president of the company, you always have some entertainment and so on, so you still need a car.

Neon cars are mainly practical, especially for home use. They consume less fuel and have a lot of space. The trunk can also hold a lot of things.

Since you can't drive fast, there's no need to buy a sports car or something.

So this was the first time Kutaragi Ken saw him driving a sports car.

"I'll take you to see something." Qing Zhiyuan said happily.

"Okay, okay."

Kutaragi Ken looked confused.

I've been tied into a thief's car by you, what can I say?

But it was also the first time for him to ride in such a sports car, so it was quite refreshing.

The car started and then started walking outside.

"What's the name of this car?" Kutaragi Ken asked curiously.

"Lamborghini's Diablo" Qing Zhiyuan laughed, "the same name as the game we made."

"Have you cooperated with them?" Kutaragi Ken was shocked.

Is pokeni going to make a racing game? !

"No, it's just a coincidence." Qing Zhiyuan smiled very happily.

“Lamborghini Diablo is named after a bullfighting bull.

And our Diavolo is because of mythology. "

"Oh, that's it." Kutaragi was startled.

However, he was a little bit disappointed.

How great would it be if pokeni really cooperated with Lamborghini and developed car games?

Could it be that the sales volume of Sony PS in Omi can increase again?

Just when Kutaragi Ken was still immersed in thinking, Qing Zhiyuan stepped on the accelerator.

Kutaragi Ken quickly grasped the armrest.

The whole person was pressed firmly on the seat.

Nerves were tense.

Good guy, this car jumped out like a bullfight when the accelerator was pressed.

"How does this back push feel?" Qing Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

"Very strong!"

Kutaragi Ken gave him a thumbs up.

…

After driving for about 5 minutes, Qing Zhiyuan stopped the car.

"Eh?"

Kutaragi Ken was a little confused.

Good guy, so you took me from Sony to Pokeni?

The distance between the two companies is not too far, just one street apart.

"Come on, I'll show you something even better than a Lamborghini."

"real or fake?"

Kutaragi Ken carried his briefcase, followed Qing Zhiyuan, and got into the elevator doubtfully.

All the way to P Club, Qing Zhiyuan asked Taiji Sakata, who had been waiting at the company for a long time, to turn on the game console.

"Mr. Kutaragi, take a look at our newly developed game. We have encountered a little problem."

"Okay, okay."

Kutaragi put his briefcase aside and sat in front of the TV to watch.

After the game was started, it took a long time to load, about 10 minutes.

Kutaragi Ken thought——

Something must be wrong.

After loading is completed, a 3D model of a girl appears on the screen.

She was the 2B girl who Qing Zhiyuan asked Taiji Sakata and the others to [make it as detailed as possible].

After just one glance, Kutaragi Ken was amazed by it.

This role was really well done.

She was wearing a long black dress, with graceful S-shaped curves, plus three-dimensional thighs. Her two-dimensional face was pure and beautiful, and she had an appearance that was enough to attract men.

The figure is indeed very real, as if the characters in the comics have been brought into reality, and the whole person reveals a arrogant and cold temperament.

What a beautiful girl.

Kutaragi Ken's first feeling was.

As a man, your heart will beat at the first sight.

pokeni's art is so strong, and someone who can design such a character is even more amazing.

Just by looking at him, Ken Kutaragi can tell that this designer must understand men very well.

Especially understanding the aesthetics of male players.

It's so beautiful. If the game can reach this level, just releasing the picture will set off a wave.

Countless players are deeply attracted by her appearance just by seeing her. No matter what, the game must be experienced once.

But just when Kutaragi Ken was immersed in the beauty of Miss 2B, the screen suddenly froze, and then the program crashed after two seconds, and the TV went dark.

"This is the problem we encountered. The character we created cannot run at all." Qing Zhiyuan stood beside him, holding his hands and saying with a smirk.

"With so many faces, your model will definitely not be able to run."

Kutaragi Ken said that you are kidding me. This is the function of PS, and it is not yet time to support such a high number of faces.

“If you want to develop such a model now, it will definitely not be able to run with such a high number of polygons and high precision.”

"I suggest you trim the number of faces of the model, at least to 500 faces, so that it can run smoothly."

Kutaragi Ken, who was originally helping [solve the problem] seriously, froze when he turned his head and saw the malicious smile on Qing Zhiyuan's face.

He understood instantly that President Qing was not a fool.

How could he not know such a simple truth when he participated in the design of the 3D host module with Sony?

Damn President Qing.

Are you making this kind of joke on purpose?

Qing Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Mr. Kutaragi, I definitely know that the accuracy of this model will definitely not run, but don't you think this girl is beautiful?"

"Well..." Kutaragi Ken frowned, "Beautiful is very beautiful."

"As long as it can be made, it will surely amaze the whole world, right?"

"Um."

Kutaragi Ken nodded seriously, "But if we don't support it now, you definitely won't be able to run with your level."

"So," Qing Zhiyuan said seriously, "please ask Sony to develop PS2 as soon as possible. Let us make this game and this model as soon as possible, so that the whole world can see Sony's strength. .

pokeni will bring Sony's game consoles to the forefront! "

Ah this...

Qing Zhiyuan, are you a devil?

Kutaragi Ken felt unusual pain.

Sony's PS was originally intended to be in service until after 2000, or even until 2002, but the company's senior management simply did not have enough willingness to develop a new game console.

Unless Rentendo's newly released N64 can crush us.

However, now you meet an unreasonable guy like Qing Zhiyuan, who directly slams the game and the effects he wants to create in your face.

Seeing such a young lady, as a game console developer, Kutaragi Ken really hopes to make her move.

It was completely grasped.

pokeni is indeed the engine of the gaming industry.

This pushing feeling is too strong.

…
