When Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao walked hand in hand into the golden wind, the whole company was in a sensation!
Everyone seemed to be well prepared and arrived at the company early, waiting for the arrival of the two of them.
And when the electric door opened, there were two popping sounds, and colorful ribbons suddenly sprayed and floated in the air.
Then, I heard Dajiang in the crowd shout:
“Laba garlic!”
Everyone shouted in unison:
"Lock it up——"
“Laba garlic!”
"Lock it up——"
"Wuhu——!!!"
Gu Sheng:......
Shen Miaomiao:......
After being silent for a long time, Shen Miaomiao turned to look at Gu Sheng and twitched the corner of her mouth:
"Is this...arranged by Your Excellency?"
Gu Sheng had rejection written all over his face:
"Do you think I look like it?"
You two looked at me, I looked at you, and then you couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It's really ridiculous.
But fortunately!
The two of them are not ignorant people. Since everyone is so enthusiastic, they are not stingy and kiss on the spot to show their respect.
Suddenly, there was laughter and applause in the company, and everyone was booing——
"another one!"
"Kneading sweets on the spot makes you feel like you are there!"
"Mr. Gu is awesome! Director Shen is awesome!"
"The boss is awesome——!"
"..."
For a time, the company was filled with a happy atmosphere.
After laughing and making trouble, Moritani also brought the latest progress of the neon trip——
"Things are going very well..."
Arriving at the president's office with Gu Sheng, the two of them sat down one after another. Moritani made tea while making a report.
Yes.
Just when Melancholic Blues was preparing to go on a trip together and perfect Overwatch with a golden experience, Moritani took Sato and Yuki, and the three of them returned to Neon to contact a mysterious person about the next step of IP development.
And the reason why Golden Wind is so popular is that it even dispatched the company's vice president and studio executives to jointly carry out commercial activities.
The fundamental reason is that the IP this time is too big.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you play games, you will have heard of this IP.
Even if you have never played the game, you may have heard of this IP.
As a flagship game genre, back in the day, this series of IPs could be said to have killed the gods and the Buddhas.
But later, because the director who led the development took a back seat, the series gradually began to decline.
but!
Although the director back then is now almost sixty, the copyright of this series of IPs has always been in his hands.
Moritani and his party went to discuss this matter.
They need the IP in the hands of this director to resurrect this series in the somatosensory cabin and use it as a flagship masterpiece to participate in the upcoming Los Angeles E3 game show in September.
"...Actually, the other party was quite hesitant at first,"
Moritani said:
"Even if our original "Silent Hill" and "Escape" weren't very successful, the other party wouldn't even have the idea to talk about it."
Hear the words.
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Is it so difficult to get it? Is it biased against our size?"
"That's not true,"
Moritani shook his head:
"On the contrary, for him, the price of this IP is actually insignificant,"
"To put it bluntly, from the beginning of this IP to the present, the money that the IP has brought to him has been enough for him to use for three lifetimes. The copyright fee has more symbolic meaning than monetary meaning to him,"
"In other words, this IP is already a sentiment and has nothing to do with bidding."
Um--
Gu Sheng nodded slowly.
If this were said to others, they would probably sneer and say that the pretentious dealer was brought down and it was time to spend money.
But this IP and this person...
Gu Sheng smacked his lips and thought to himself that what he said was true.
After all, if this director is really like Cornick, everything will be based on money.
Then it is absolutely not their turn to acquire this series of IPs.
Comella or Yunwei had already purchased it.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng nodded:
"Then what?"
Moritani took a sip of tea and continued:
"Then our two-person trip was released, and coincidentally, the release time happened to be the day before our last visit to him."
Speaking of this, Moriya laughed.
He shook his head and said:
"I guess he must have seen the content of the two-player game, or simply played it by himself,"
“The last negotiation was a pleasure,”
"That's why today's conference call came about."
That’s right!
The result of Moritani and others' trip to Neon is today's video conference!
Super IP purchase negotiation, success or failure depends on this!
Looking at the time, it was already 8:50 in the morning, Gu Sheng nodded.
Then, he briefly browsed through the plan in front of him:
"Let's get together later."
"good,"
Hearing this, Moritani nodded and drank the tea in one gulp:
"Listen to you."
Said.
The two of them adjusted the background of the video together and adjusted their seating positions.
It’s nine o’clock Beijing time!
A video call from Neon Dongjin kicked off the IP acquisition.
As the call goes through!
In the video, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a side-parted hair appeared.
The middle-aged man looks very upright, even a little bit like a neon man. Although he is nearly sixty this year, he looks in good condition and very young.
At this moment, the middle-aged man was sitting in the office of his villa, bowing slightly and nodding towards Gu Sheng and Moriya in the video:
"Good morning Gu Shengjun, good morning Moritani-kun."
And here, Gu Sheng also nodded slightly and smiled:
"Good morning, I have long admired you, Mr. Shinji Mishō."
good!
This time, the super IP that Golden Wind wants to acquire is the world-renowned "Resident Evil" series!
And the mysterious person that Moritani and others have been in contact with all this time is the man known as the father of the Resident Evil - Shinji Sanso!
Yes.
Although there is no Hideo Kojima, Hidetaka Miyazaki, or Hideki Kamiya in this world.
But there is Shinji Sanso! There is a biohazard!
Starting about twenty years ago, with the release of "Resident Evil 1", a biochemical craze was started by Shinji Mitsuo and his studio.
That's right, Sanshou Shinji Studio.
Due to the changes in the world line, Capcom, the master of this world, seems to have never been born. The Biochemical series has always been produced by Sanshang Studio.
From the first to the fourth installment, Resident Evil's reputation became more and more famous, and it even once became the well-deserved overlord IP of horror games.
And the movies adapted from Resident Evil have made a lot of money one after another.
but!
Since "Resident Evil 4" starring Leon, Shinji Sanshou, who was in his heyday, announced his retirement and resigned as the chief director of Sanshou Studio. When the era of somatosensory cabins came, Jiliu retreated bravely.
Live a life of salted fish with no worries about food and drink.
Therefore, without the leadership of Shinji Mitsuo, the Resident Evil series has embarked on a crazy downhill road, and on the downward path, it will never return.
It was also from this point on that Resident Evil was no longer the Resident Evil that Gu Sheng was familiar with. Leon, Chris, Ada Wang, Jill, etc. all "retired".
The biochemical IP that entered the era of somatosensory cabins first set foot in a new field with "Resident Evil: Killing" and under the banner of "Resident Evil 5".
But they made a fatal mistake. They actually continued the over-the-shoulder perspective that the Biochemical series has always featured in the somatosensory cabin, allowing players to use a first-person experience in the somatosensory cabin to control the protagonist from a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective.
The result was of course as you can imagine, it was a complete mess.
After this, the team learned from the painful experience and launched the sixth part of the Biohazard series two years later, called "Resident Evil: Frenzy".
This time, they have improved the perspective problem, made the game fit the somatosensory cabin, and adopted a first-person perspective.
However, due to the change of the protagonist group, the story line was too complicated and huge, and the strength was not enough to carry the ambition, which led to continuous failure, even worse than the previous step.
It was that year that Sanshang Studio announced its dissolution.
And "Resident Evil", a world-famous super IP, has also become the personal property of Shinji Mishou who cannot be told outside.
Although during this period, there were many manufacturers who wanted to invite Shinji Sanshou to come back to work, or buy the copyright from him.
But all of them were rejected without exception.
As Moritani said, there are only a handful of manufacturers like them that have been able to sit down and have face-to-face negotiations with Sanso Shinji over the years.
As for Golden Wind, they were the first manufacturer to have detailed discussions with him many times.
"...Mr. Gu's creativity is amazing, and his attitude towards games is also admirable,"
After a brief introduction between the two parties, Shinji Sanshou took the lead in getting to the point:
“I have played some of your works, and they are very amazing.”
"Thank you, Mr. Sanshang, you are so complimentary,"
Gu Sheng smiled slightly:
"Compared with flagship super game IPs like Resident Evil, we still have a lot of room for effort."
"Hahaha, Gu Sang is too humble,"
Hearing this, Sanshang Shinji laughed loudly and waved his hand:
"Gu Sang has a library of games. It's too late to turn his wild ideas into reality. He won't rest on his laurels like me."
hiss--
actually!
Sanshang Shinji's words are just a metaphor.
After all, from the establishment of Golden Wind to the present, the games they have produced are truly diverse.
Shooting, action, tower defense, role-playing...
Everything you need!
Gu Sheng's head is like an inexhaustible treasure trove of inspiration, always able to make breakthroughs in fields that make people's eyes shine.
Golden Wind doesn’t need to count by 2 because they can’t even count by 1!
Sanshou Shinji This is a complimentary metaphor.
How could he know!
This is not a metaphor at all!
Gu Sheng really has a treasure trove of games in his mind!
and!
Just as he said, this treasure house is inexhaustible for Gu Sheng, and he can't get out even if he only takes 1 out!
Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel a sudden rush in his heart.
Although he knew that San Shang was making an analogy, he still laughed a little bit:
"Haha, ha, Mr. Sanshang is overly praised. I only...occasionally get inspiration."
"The Chinese people's humility is really deep in their bones. We can't understand it no matter how much we imitate it."
San Shang nodded repeatedly, obviously moved by Gu Sheng's unpretentious and humble attitude, and his good impression doubled.
God knows!
If Gu Sheng knew what he was thinking at this moment, he would probably laugh out loud.
Sorry, brother Sanshang, I'm really not humble, I really don't dare to take credit.
These things you see are all games from my previous life.
And what I’m about to show you is also a continuation of your IP from the previous life.
Although it was not made by you, it is also known as the most successful next-generation Resident Evil series that has returned to the horror atmosphere.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng smiled a little more weakly.
To be honest, this feeling is quite outrageous. It’s like picking up someone else’s phone, formatting it, and then selling it to the original owner.
"I heard Moritani-san said that for this copyright acquisition, Gu Sang had already sorted out the general outline of the new Resident Evil movie,"
Sanshang Shinji didn't notice Gu Sheng's hidden smile, and still said politely:
"A new Resident Evil with a golden flavor?"
"Well - that's right,"
Gu Sheng nodded and admitted shamelessly:
"After all, in this Resident Evil movie, we will use a new protagonist,"
"And from a perspective, it will also break away from the original extraordinary events such as 'saving the world', 'protecting the city', and 'saving the president's daughter'."
"oh?!"
Hear the words.
Sanshang Shinji couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Gu Sang, please explain in detail?"
"OK."
As Gu Sheng nodded.
I saw him slowly opening the plan that had been prepared in front of him and said:
"We have seen too many stories of heroes saving the world,"
"This time, I want to tell a story about an ordinary person,"
"The story of an ordinary husband, the story of an ordinary father,"
