Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 1,400 Unable to figure it out, the boss Wu Zhaopu took out a yellow cassette and waved it in front of Lin Feng a few times with a proud look on his face. (Reading novels)

Lin Feng took a closer look and took a breath. This yellow cassette is not the cassette of the game I often played when I was a child - "Contra".

"Mr. Wu, this is it," Lin Feng felt as he held the cassette.

When I was a child, I had been dreaming about this cassette for a long time. I begged my parents for a long time before I got such a cassette. After I got it, I couldn't sleep all night. Every day when you turn on the computer, just "baba up and down" and enter the secrets to start the 30-life challenge. Lin Feng remembered that he loved to use the "laser" weapon inside. Although the range was relatively simple and he could only attack in a straight line, the power was extremely powerful. Especially when the "bullet" button was pressed, the "laser" accumulated at the muzzle of the gun. At its most powerful.

Of course, Lin Feng also likes to use a kind of bullet that can only hit single-line beans. After "eating" a bullet-accelerating prop, the beans are like beans poured from a bamboo tube, which is quite refreshing.

A sigh. This "Contra" has brought laughter to so many people and filled their childhoods with fun!

"By the way, Mr. Wu, how did you get the copyright for "Contra"?" Lin Feng was surprised.

Lin Feng remembers that "Contra" was a super popular work of "" Company, and it was a game that could compete with "Super Mario" back then. Lin Feng still remembers that many follow-up works were released, but most of them were not as popular as the original "Contra". But now Lin Feng is curious about how Wu Zhaopu was able to obtain the copyright of "Contra" from the "" company. Although "Contra" has declined now, its reputation is not small.

"Haha, boss, this is a coincidence. Now there are rumors in the industry that 'ea' is developing "fa-ne" and is preparing to launch it within the year. Therefore, "ea", who has been competing with 'ea' in the football game market, also wants to To launch the corresponding version of "Pro Evolution Football ne", everyone approached us and hoped to cooperate with our company. Both parties will jointly develop "Pro Evolution Football ne" and our company will exclusively operate "Pro Evolution Football ne"," Wu Zhaopu explained.

Lin Feng was surprised. He didn't expect Japan to take the initiative to find his company. This is a very rare thing. You must know that I have a bad impression in the minds of Japanese people. I am a standard "anti-Japanese" element. Unexpectedly, Japan's famous "" company would actually come to find me. This really surprised Lin Feng.

"Haha, boss, this world is a very realistic money society, and the rich are the bosses. Now our company occupies 70% of the global online game market share, and Asia occupies 90%. If you say, "If the company doesn't cooperate with us, who will we cooperate with?" Cooperation. Besides, 'ea' is looking for a Korean company this time. Naturally, it is not willing to give up such a large market and let 'ea' dominate the market," Wu Zhaopu explained with a smile.

Lin Feng then thought about it,

This is indeed the case. The football game market is so big. At first, there were only two companies in the world whose football games were recognized by players. One was “ea” and the other was “ea”. Now “ea” is gearing up to enter the online football game market. ''Of course I won't let it go, but Japanese game companies are far inferior to their capabilities in the home console game market. When it comes to the development and operation of online games, looking at the world, who else is the "Second World"?

"So, boss, I got the copyright of "Contra". Originally, I was unwilling to let it go, but after I bought it at a high price of 1 million yuan, for the sake of cooperation, I agreed. ." Wu Zhaopu laughed.

When he first contacted "", Wu Zhaopu targeted "Contra". Originally, Lin Feng proposed an activity plan of "Nostalgia Games", and Wu Zhaopu has been searching for those games that have fascinated countless players, and "" just happened to take the initiative to deliver them to his door. If Wu Zhaopu didn't know that Yan Guo plucked his hair, it would be inevitable. Too underestimated Wu Zhaopu's IQ.

As for the price of 1 million yuan, it is not low for today's "Contra". Although it once brought hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to "", that was after all. The past is past, people can't always live in the past!

"By the way, boss, regarding how to cooperate with '', I told them to wait for you to come back and talk to you face to face." Wu Zhaopu gave Lin Feng a bad look. Originally, Wu Zhaopu could have presided over this negotiation himself. However, judging from the past negotiation history of the "Second World", Lin Feng can usually gain some unexpected benefits by taking action. He can get things from his negotiating opponents that may seem useless now, but will be very useful in the future.

Lin Feng personally presided over every such negotiation. Therefore, Wu Zhaopu left this negotiation with "" to Lin Feng. Firstly, I hope that Lin Feng can get some more stuff from Japan; secondly, Lin Feng's own "second game" is about to launch a "dream" game console, and he needs the support of game companies to see if he can poach "" this time. Third, the relationship between Lin Feng and Xiao Nippon is not good. This time, "" came to ask for help. This kind of good thing should not be left to Lin Feng and left to anyone.

"Haha, thank you, Mr. Wu!" Lin Feng chuckled and patted Wu Zhaopu on the shoulder. My own "Second Entertainment" is about to launch a handheld console that has been in development for 2 years, and now it needs the support of various game companies. Erika Kazama contacted many Japanese game software companies, but most of them, considering Lin Feng's relationship with Japan, refused to develop games for the "Second Game" game console. Only a few small game companies were willing to develop games for the "Second Game" console. Game" develops games. But it is difficult for small game companies to produce blockbusters that will sell well.

And if a game console is not supported by enough excellent works, it will definitely not sell well. No matter how good the host is, it is useless without hardware. This time "" took the initiative to deliver it to your door, which was a good opportunity.

"By the way, Mr. Wu, considering the reputation of "Contra", spending 1 million to buy its copyright is not a loss, but have you thought about how to use it to make money?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Contra" is a side-scrolling shooting game. It is not easy to adapt it into an online game. How to earn back this million is a problem. After all, the company is not a charity. If you spend money, you have to make it back! Therefore, Lin Feng wanted to see if Wu Zhaopu had any suggestions.

Who would have expected!

"Uh, no. When I acquired it, I just came here because of the fame of "Contra". You know, "Contra" has a huge reputation all over the world. It has loyal fans all over the world in the United States, Europe, and Asia. "So, I bought it." Wu Zhaopu replied very irresponsibly, "As for how to adapt it to make money, I think you are the authority in this regard. I think you will definitely think about it." Find a way."

Lin Feng was speechless on the spot. Tell me, who are these people? If they bought the copyright of the game, they would not be responsible for it. They would leave it entirely to themselves. I really feel like I am Tinkerbell, and I can come up with all kinds of ideas anytime and anywhere.

"Okay, let me think about this first. Anyway, 1 million is not expensive, and it is worth it to get the copyright of "Contra"." Lin Feng thought for a while, his mind was temporarily confused, and he did not expect that Whatever the idea is, I will put it aside for now. Sometimes things are like this. If you can't figure it out, just don't think about it for a while. After a while, another inspiration may burst out.

"By the way, how are the three web games going?" Lin Feng asked with concern.

"Don't worry, boss, "Gundam" will be available for public testing in early July, "Three Kingdoms" will be available for public testing in late July, and "Star Change" will not be available for public testing until August," Wu Zhaopu replied.

Lin Feng nodded, and then came to his comfortable and luxurious office on the 99th floor of the company.

Standing at the window, looking at the endless flow of people below me and the white clouds floating in the sky in the distance, my whole mind went blank. This feeling of climbing high and looking far away is always so comfortable. So how should "Contra" be transformed?

Lin Feng pondered for a while.

"Contra" is a side-scrolling shooting game with a variety of weapons to choose from, but the game character itself has no possibility of upgrading, and has no health, so it can be killed with one shot. Of course, some upgraded versions of "Contra" still have health. But how can such a game be adapted into an online game?

The simplest thing is to use the charm of "Contra" and adapt it into a shooting online game. This is the simplest. And it’s not too troublesome to adapt, as long as you add a few more types of weapons and a character upgrade mode.

But now the "Second World" will have an annual first-person shooter masterpiece next year, "World War" that has cost more than 1.3 billion US dollars. It may not be appropriate to develop another "Contra" at this time. After all, games of the same type are all enemies.

Since first-person shooting is not possible, what about third-person shooting? ——This is a good idea, but there is not much difference between the third person and the first person, and "World War" also allows players to freely change the perspective. It can be said that if "Contra" is adapted into a third-person shooting online game , which is no different from first-person shooter online games.

Since shooting online games don’t work, what about other types? Lin Feng thought about several types, but none of them were suitable. Can't "Contra" be adapted into an online game? ——Lin Feng frowned secretly.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in Lin Feng's mind.
