Chapter 397 Tigers in front, wolves behind

"Thank you!" Douglas stood up and bowed. As for Shania, she had gone to the side with a blushing face - she was driven away by Douglas who looked unhappy. Although, kissing is a very common etiquette in the West.

, but it was usually a kiss on the cheek. How could Shania give Fang Mingyuan a kiss directly? Fang Mingyuan was caught off guard and couldn't just reach out and push her away, so this was the result.

Although Douglas's expression was not good, he also understood that it was his daughter who took the initiative to talk about this matter. No wonder Fang Mingyuan had already given himself a lot of face! If this favor was put on his head, then it would be

This meant that Fang Mingyuan rejected the "exchange conditions" proposed by Shania, and his worries were naturally no longer a problem.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan recommended Shania to Cameron. Anyone who pays a little attention to Hollywood knows that Cameron is now at the top of the ranks of Hollywood directors. Except for Spielberg, there are only two or three people.

Can be compared with him, and all the other directors are not suppressed by his brilliance. The release of a series of well-received and well-received movies not only brought Cameron a supreme reputation, but also brought great success to film companies and cinemas.

Lines and related stakeholders have brought huge benefits.

Most of the actors that Cameron is interested in are now top-tier stars. Even those who were just walk-on actors at the beginning have become second-tier or even first-tier stars. Among the actresses, Sandra and Uda Hikaru

Li is the two most typical ones. As Fang Mingyuan said just now, if Shania can be favored by Cameron, even if she plays an unimportant supporting role, for a newbie like her,

It is also a starting point that is high enough to make most people in Hollywood look up to it! In Hollywood, not to mention the newcomers, it is the already famous stars. As long as they have time, even if they show up in Cameron's film

Also willing.

The favor given by Fang Mingyuan was huge!

"Shania's mother always wanted to be an actress, but she married me shortly after graduating from college, and then we had Shania. In order to take care of Shania, she had to give up her career as an actress.

Dream, when Shania was older and could go to school, she died in an accident. So Shania wanted to be an actress, which was largely influenced by her mother. But... I really don’t

Don't worry, she will enter the entertainment industry." Douglas said solemnly, "Thank you for helping her realize this dream!"

"I'm just giving her a chance. Whether she can truly realize her dream depends on her own ability. Cameron, haha, when it comes to casting, you don't show favoritism." Fang Mingyuan waved his hand and said. The reason why he was willing to help

Shania was moved to a large extent by her determination not to give up until she reaches her goal. Moreover, Douglas is a shareholder of two major companies, Microsoft and Costco, so he owes him a personal favor. Maybe something will happen in the future.

time, you can be of great help to yourself.

"If she ultimately lost the election because of her own lack of ability, Shania has nothing to say." Douglas shook his head slightly and smiled, "However, she graduated with first place in the School of Drama at the University of Washington.

Yes, I still have confidence in her." Although the School of Drama at the University of Washington is far less famous than its School of Computer Science and School of Medicine, in terms of rankings, it is still ranked in the top 30 among well-known universities in the United States and even the world.

Within the name.

"Let's drink to Shania's long-cherished wish!" Bill raised his glass. It is a perfect result that this matter can be solved so perfectly.

The fact that Hollywood's top screenwriter "Fang" attended Bill's dinner was reported in the newspaper the next day. Although no photos or videos were leaked to confirm this, there were upper-class people like Bill, Motiejunas, Bryant, and Douglas who did it.

With the evidence, and the spokesman of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group frankly admitting the matter when asked by the media, this news immediately aroused great repercussions in the United States and Japan.

Nowadays, many Americans also know that the top Hollywood screenwriter "Fang" is the same person as the boss of the famous Japanese game production company Gamesstation, and Gamesstation's achievements in the game industry in recent years can be said to be very dazzling, and it has become

A top company that can be compared with several top game production companies in Japan.

Microsoft's decision to enter the home game console industry in the future has been officially announced. At this time, "Fang" appeared at Bill's dinner, which can't help but make many people think about it. Originally, it was declining due to the monopoly case.

Microsoft's stock price immediately stopped falling and turned up, achieving an astonishing 7% increase that day.

While Americans are optimistic about Microsoft's future, the Japanese game console industry is facing a formidable enemy! When Microsoft announced this news, although people were surprised, they didn't care too much. After all, although Microsoft has a monopoly on computer operating systems

The giant has also produced many popular PC games, but it is an out-and-out newcomer to the home game console industry. Moreover, the companies that have truly become popular in home game consoles have always been in Japan. Nowadays

"Demon Blade" and PS2 were at their peak. At this time, Microsoft jumped out and announced that it would join the home game console industry. Many people believed that this was a small trick used by Microsoft to distract people from the monopoly case.

If you want to break into the home game console industry and compete with Sega Corporation, Sony and Nintendo, of course you need to have sufficient financial resources and R&D capabilities, but you also need sufficient support from game software companies. As for home console game software

In the industry, Japanese game production companies still have a clear upper hand. Microsoft's entry can certainly be supported by some game production companies in Europe and the United States, but at the beginning, it is difficult to say how strong the support will be.

Without the support of enough excellent game software and relying only on the game support produced by Microsoft itself, even if Microsoft's home game console has excellent performance, it will follow the old path of Sega Corporation. At that time, Sega Corporation

The company is already a long-standing player in the home game console industry, and its foundation is not comparable to that of today's Microsoft. But even then, analysts later believed that if Sega Corporation had not adjusted its business strategy in a timely manner and sought more

With the support of many game software production companies, and the emergence of Gamestation, with the support of several consecutive masterpieces, I am afraid that it is still suppressed by Nintendo at this time, and may even be inferior to Sony!

And Fang Mingyuan's appearance at Bill's dinner at this time undoubtedly made them feel threatened! If Gamestation is willing to join Microsoft's camp, even if it is just cross-platform support, given Gamestation's current appeal in the Japanese game software industry, it will

It will bring a lot of potential support to Microsoft! This is certainly not a good thing for the Japanese home game console industry that originally dominated the world!

But... what surprises many people is that Sega Co., Ltd., which occupies the leading position of home game consoles, did not react strongly to this matter. A spokesman for Sega Co., Ltd. also publicly stated that Microsoft is welcome to join the home game consoles

In the industry, we provide players with better consoles.

"This is nothing surprising!" Heike Jiro threw the information on the table and said with a headache, "Fang Jun has the closest relationship with Sega Corporation. During the Spring Festival in China, both Bill and Nakayama Xiong went to China to communicate with them.

Fang Jun met, maybe at that time, they had secretly reached an agreement. It is possible that Sega Corporation had already known that Fang Jun would cooperate with Microsoft."

"Moreover, it is said that Sega Corporation's new console 'Aquarius' has reached the final production stage and is likely to be launched this year. With a brand-new console, they are certainly confident!" Toyoki, head of Sony's game console department

Tian Yuan is not without resentment. The PS2 has just been launched, and Sega Corporation's next-generation console is already finalized! This feeling of being left behind by the other party is really unpleasant. And now, Microsoft has

To get in, Sony can be said to have a tiger in front and a wolf behind!

Heike Jiro lightly knocked on the table and said seriously: "Regarding this, the company's board of directors is already discussing whether to immediately start formal research and development of the next generation console. Therefore, these are not what you have to consider. How to make PS2 more popular?"

The most important thing is to bring out its maximum performance. The performance of Nintendo's console is far behind that of Yao Dao and PS2, but it's good that their sales are different! Don't always think about using console performance to suppress the other party!

"

Sony's pre-research and development work on the performance standards of the next-generation console and some key technologies has naturally already begun. If all factors are not considered, it is not impossible to develop a new-generation console within one to two years.

But the PS2 has only been on the market for less than a year. In two to three years, for a console worth hundreds of dollars, it will not be able to break even. This means that,

If that is the case, Sony's high R&D expenses invested in the PS2 may not be recovered at all, resulting in huge losses. This has made Sony's top managers question whether to immediately carry out research and development of the next-generation console.

Great differences arose.

Toyoki Denzono nodded helplessly, but secretly murmured in his heart. The reason why Nintendo can achieve such sales results even though its performance is far inferior to that of Yao Dao and PS2 is due to many factors. After all, Nintendo is a veteran manufacturer of home game consoles.

Shang has been prosperous for many years and has a solid foundation. Although it has been snatched away from its leading position by Sega Co., Ltd. in recent years, even if it is dead, its foundation cannot be taken lightly. Moreover, it has

A large number of classic game copyrights suitable for all ages can continuously provide Nintendo with considerable profits.

As for Sony, as a latecomer to the home game console industry, it has only been around for six or seven years so far. How can it be compared with Nintendo? However, he did not dare to refute Hirakejiro's words publicly. He could only think in his heart.

Secretly slandered.

"But..." Heike Jiro said in a more relaxed tone, "You don't have to be too stressed! Our PS was also under the pressure of the 'Demon Sword', and it also achieved a total sales volume of tens of millions of units.

Excellent results. And our PS2 has sold more than 3.6 million units since its launch. This result is also very satisfying to the board of directors!" Mapletree Denon couldn't help but look happy.

"Besides, it will take one to two years at the fastest for Microsoft to develop a new console. If they use Sega Corporation as their imaginary enemy, then it will take even longer for their console to be launched! So your most important task now is

, which is to urge the major game production companies to ensure that the new games are released on time with high quality and quantity according to the original plan!" Hirakeijiro emphasized his tone again: "You must believe in your own work and give it the greatest trust.

Its potential! Even if Sega Corporation's 'Water Bottle' comes out, our PS2 will not be defeated so easily!"

If Fang Mingyuan had been present at this time, he would have given two thumbs up to Heikejiro's words. In his previous life, the PS2, even the PS3 and X360, outperformed the PS2 in terms of performance.

Several years after the release of the new generation of consoles, the PS2 was still being sold steadily around the world, and eventually exceeded 150 million units, a figure that astonished the world.

For players, the performance of the console is of course very important, but no matter how good the console is, without good games, it is just an expensive decoration. It is like putting an F1 racing car on the bumpy and broken road in Tongchuan.

, it is better to make a broken Jeep run more smoothly. These words of Hirakejiro can be said to have captured the key.

"Yes, I understand!" Feng Shuden said loudly.

Toyoshu Denson withdrew, and Taira Keijiro slumped down on his chair and let out a sigh of relief. Although he looked confident in front of Toyoju Denson just now, in fact, he was

His heart was also full of uneasiness. He also had countless thoughts about what the future prospects of PS2 would be.

"Games must have good games!" Heike Jiro said bitterly. With more and more competitors, at this time, the status of game production companies has become prominent. Although a good exclusive game can

Saving a console is a bit exaggerated, but as long as there are enough attractive games, it is an indisputable fact that a console can survive!

Gamestation Company, this originally unknown small company, has now become more and more important in the industry that cannot be ignored! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
