Super Game Empire

This year's Ministry of Culture seems extremely busy after the Chinese New Year. Other units have been leisurely until after the Lantern Festival, but the Ministry of Culture has been busy since the eighth day of the first lunar month, especially the Department of Foreign Exchange and Cooperation, which receives a large number of consultation calls every day, just with culture.

Industry-related companies all want to find business opportunities in China-Korea cultural exchange activities, respond to the national call, work hard to go out and make money from foreigners.

Early in the morning, Deputy Director Yan, who was responsible for project qualification review, walked in a square foot with a teacup, patrolling his territory. When passing by the office area of ​​the comprehensive office, he saw a group of people gathered and laughed, and frowned and was displeased.

He shouted, "What are you watching next to Xiao Chen? Go back to your own position!"

A group of people scattered like birds and beasts. Xiao Chen, the clerk on the seat, quickly stood up and said in a pleasing manner: "Director Yan, here is an application report from Longteng Entertainment Game Company. We can't get it. Can you please help me?"

When Deputy Director Yan heard the words Long Teng, his face calmed down a little, and walked over and said, "Tell me."

Xiao Chen opened a stack of application documents on the table and introduced: "Their applications are divided into four parts. The first is to promote Chinese culture and folk national treasures..."

Deputy Director Yan did not hear the special meaning of the four words "Folk National Essence" and nodded: "This is very good. China is a country of etiquette, Confucius and Mencius thoughts, Chinese studies and culture, Chinese martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, drama, songs and dances, these

They are all national quintessential cultures worth showing!”

A group of people laughed secretly, and Xiao Chen said awkwardly: "Sir Yan, what I mean by folk quintessence refers to mahjong culture..."

Bang...

Deputy Director Yan didn't hold the teacup firmly, and the lid fell to the ground. Fortunately, it was a high-end stainless steel thermos imported from abroad. He said with some angrily: "What are you kidding? Promote mahjong culture? Did they make mahjong into a game?"

Xiao Chen replied: "Yes, they have made mahjong, playing cards, Chinese chess, go, and chess activities into game forms for players to play for free on the Internet..."

Deputy Director Yan wanted to say it was absurd, but when he heard that there were Chinese chess and Go behind him, he couldn't help but beat him to death. He could only complain: "This Longteng has a weird idea! What about the other parts?"

Xiao Chen introduced casual games, competitive games, cards and plug-ins of "Five Thousand Years of the Upper and Lower" and then Deputy Director Yan knew Long Teng's real intention.

"In fact, no matter how our Ministry of Culture does it, Longteng will launch this game platform, and the Sports Bureau will not make things difficult for them. I want to pass the application of our Ministry of Culture, but I just want to use the Oriental of China-Korea cultural exchange activities!"

Deputy Director Yan thought about this clearly and soon felt relieved. He stood up again, held the teacup and said, "Send Longteng's application to my office, I will personally approve it!"

Games are an important part of China-Korea cultural exchanges. Deputy Director Yan was very cautious and raised this issue separately at the executive meeting the next day.

"Cards, mahjong. Are these games good?"

"What a joke? Can Mahjong be on par with "Five Thousand Years"? Is that too much a joke?"

"Look at what games are these? "Billiards", are all street games like this? "Mahjong", there are actually three types. Guangdong Province Mahjong, Sichuan Province Mahjong. Jiangcheng Mahjong? "Upgrade" and "Hoing the Earth".

》I won’t talk about these, why is there “Texas Hold’em”? And these. “Chinese Chess” and “Go” are national sports events. What does “Flying Chess”, “Cheers” and “Monopoly” mean

?This is also a chess game?"

"Breaking a fool!"

"We can't let them do whatever they want. This does not represent Chinese culture. Otherwise, Koreans would think that we Chinese only know how to play cards, chess and gambling!"

"We cannot pass! If we want to enter the official recognition project of China-Korea cultural exchanges, we must delete the popular cultures such as mahjong and chess and cards!"

The voice of opposition made Deputy Director Yan, who had previously supported him, hesitated.

Chief Zee received a report from Deputy Director Yan first. At this time, he saw that most of his colleagues were accusing Long Teng and was not annoyed. He just smiled slightly and asked, "Hasn't everyone thought about a problem? If we

If he returns the plan, Longteng will not launch the "Mahjong" game? He cannot enter the Sino-Korea cultural exchange activities and cannot become an officially recognized project. Can't they enter the Korean market?"

This question left everyone speechless. Thinking of the bundled marketing of longchat and Longteng game battle platform, everyone got the answer from their hearts, and they absolutely couldn't stop Longteng's pace.

Deputy Director Yan received a hint from Chief Cai and said calmly: "For Longteng Entertainment Game Company, our Ministry of Culture has basically not been embarrassed by them for so many years, and they rarely cause trouble for us. Longteng's achievements

It is obvious to all. We have also supported our work over the years. Since we can't stop it, why not give it a favor?"

Some people blushed when they heard this. The Ministry of Culture is a unit with little fuel and water. Games are an important category they are responsible for. The public relations department of Longteng Company will send solar terms on time every year and approve discounts. They are respectful to officials who go to the grassroots level and serve extremely thoughtfully.

Logically speaking, no enterprise does anything better than Longteng.

"Let them delete "Mahjong", this is my bottom line." Deputy Director Huang spoke first. He had the biggest objection just now, and he also wanted to find a way out.

"Yes, Hu Shi once wrote an article called "Mahjong", saying that China opened at least 1 million tables of mahjong every day, and spent millions of hours on mahjong every day. Mahjong, eight-legged essays, opium, and small feet were called the four major harms."

Deputy Director Wang said so.

"But I have read the article by Lao Wang and Hu Shi. He also attributed the vanguard army of Eastern civilization to conquer the Western world to these 136 mahjong soldiers. Besides, mahjong is very controversial, because the influence of gambling is not good, but

Longteng Mahjong game has no money and chips, and can also play with mahjong friends all over the world. Lao Wang, don’t say anything, at least my wife must be a staunch supporter!" Chief Zei retorted, and he even mentioned that his wife likes to play.

Examples of mahjong.

"That's right, the mahjong game that does not involve money is not as serious as you think! What era was Hu Shi? What era is now? The saying of the Four Great Harm has long been outdated! The key is that the old man is old now,

What to play without playing mahjong?”

"A powerful tool for consuming time! Friends of the elderly! The doctor also recommends playing mahjong without any trouble to prevent Alzheimer's disease!"

Many people saw that Chief Cai and Deputy Director Yan were supportive, and immediately changed their minds. As they spoke, laughter gradually began to rise. The steps were no longer needed, and everyone no longer cared about face. The voices against Long Teng were finally unable to hear.

Longteng applied for approval and they went there.

Soon, the Longteng game battle platform officially became the largest project in the game industry in China-Korea cultural exchange activities, and was officially recognized and strongly supported by the Chinese government to promote and promote cultural exchange projects.

There was an uproar in the society and the debate continued, and the focus was mainly on the five games of mahjong, landlord, chess, go and billiards.

The first question was a professor at the National People's Congress who questioned the Ministry of Culture's lack of strict review, which poisoned Chinese people, led to laziness and lack of motivation, triggered countless wives and children, family destruction, and millionaires were in debt and lost all their property. Mahjong, instead of banning it, publicly supported it, and he expressed serious protest.

"Where is the Chinese culture of mahjong? Peking Opera, Chinese painting, traditional Chinese medicine, calligraphy, guqin music, Chinese martial arts, these are Chinese culture! Cards and dominoes are related to gambling, how can they represent the cultural essence of our great China?"

This view was the first to be thrown out. The professor at the National People's Congress first expressed his indignation in his own open class, but was unhappy. He also entrusted his friends to publish it in the social news of the Beijing Daily, and quickly ignited the war.

Soon someone jumped out, and the famous writer and critic Yin Gan published an article and responded: "National quintessence is the essence of a country's inherent culture. In terms of popularity, in today's China, no entertainment method can be compared with mahjong. Peking Opera is a national treasure, but its fate is tragic. How many people can sing it now? Calligraphy is a national treasure, but its popularity is still limited. Other traditional cultures are equally difficult to move forward. Only mahjong, inside and outside the Great Wall, where is the sound of mahjong not heard? Could it be that in the eyes of some professors and scholars, the traditional culture that sounds elegant and mysterious is called national quintessence because of the changes of the times? Don’t forget that Peking Opera practitioners were also called opera singers in ancient times, and martial arts were also called practice styles. Modern Chinese medicine is defeated by Western medicine, so why should we wear tinted glasses to watch mahjong?”

This stick was beaten hard, and raised mahjong to the point of whether it was a national treasure, which triggered a great discussion in the whole society.

Opponents: "Mahjong consumes time, involves property, is related to gambling, and has a bad social impact."

Supporters: "Doesn't it take time to watch soap TV series? Longteng Mahjong game does not involve a penny of lottery, how can it involve money? Big gambling hurts the body, small gambling makes people happy, and people who cannot control themselves are destined to be losers. If you are afraid of bad social impact, why don’t the state issue laws prohibiting all entertainment equipment manufacturers such as playing cards, mahjong, and card?”

Opponents: "After entering the family, mahjong game will have negative effects on minors. What should children indulge in games when parents are not at home?"

Supporters: "When parents are at home, are there little gambling when they watch their parents play mahjong? Everything has to be addicted to games. So is the game industry banned? Do you still want to Go back to the early 1980s?”

When the differences rise to ideology, or even approach that sensitive topic, everyone knows that it is impossible to get a result when arguing about the rationality of mahjong, and then the war burns on "Doudizhu".

An old Chinese professor in his sixties from Nandu University also came out to join in the fun, thinking that the name "landlord" is not good, and running fast means running fast, and he insists on doing something like feudal society and fighting against landlords. .

Public opinion exploded again, and there were many curses. Is this name intruding you? (To be continued...)
