146. Sega Headquarters
Su Butong saw a familiar scene appear on "Shounen Jump" - "Saint Seiya" of love and justice. Although it was only the first episode of 45 pages, Masami Kurumada had already attracted people because of her previous "Fuma Kojiro"
As we all know, the holy sword "Feng Lin Shan" in the comics is also something that people yearn for. I have to say here that Su Butong knew about "Saint Seiya" in his previous life, and later saw "The King of Painting".
"Fuuma Kojiro", but the latter was painted later than the former.
In fact, Saint Seiya games are not easy to make. If Toriyama Akira is compared to Jin Yong, then Kurumada Masami’s painting style is like Gu Long. The so-called tricks basically rely on the imagination of the game maker rather than recreating the original work. From childhood to adulthood
, Su Butong has never played a truly excellent Saint Seiya game. So Su Butong decided to go back and think again about whether to buy the copyright of Saint Seiya...
As he walked, Naka Yuji introduced everything about the Sega headquarters to everyone in Zhanlong. Except for the lobby on the first floor, the other floors are composed of conference rooms, development departments, canteens, leisure areas, etc. Everyone in Zhanlong has long been accustomed to fighting in China.
The internal structure of the Dragon Technology Building is something we are accustomed to seeing inside Sega.
Naka Yuji's status within Sega has obviously risen. The reason is because he pulled back the big case of cooperation with Zhan Long, which obviously raised his internal evaluation to a higher level. No one expected that this character who was obviously cannon fodder could actually be able to
They were just lucky enough to get on the line with Zhan Long. Those who had been assigned to join China's Tong Zhan Long but gave up because they felt it was impossible regretted it. If they had known that it would be so easy to cooperate with Zhan Long, why weren't they happy in the first place?
What about going to China?
Since there was an appointment, Naka Yuji first took Su Butong and his entourage to the conference room on the third floor, and asked someone to bring coffee, tea and snacks for them to use for themselves. Then he invited some designers from the arcade development to come over and talk to Zhan.
The game producer of Long talked about how to design and produce arcade games. Su Butong brought a translator from China, so he let the translator communicate between the two parties.
Naka Yuji took Subutong alone to a small reception room on the top floor, which was obviously used by Nakayama Nagio when meeting important guests. After waiting for a while, Nakayama Nagio walked in.
"Subutong, I have long admired your name." Zhongshan Nagxiong saw Subutong and came over with a happy face.
Su Butong stood up, smiled at Nagio Nakayama and said, "It's an honor to meet President Zhongshan himself today, and it's also an honor for me."
"No more polite words, sit down." Nagio Nakayama pointed at the sofa and said.
Su Butong was not too polite and sat down as he was told.
Naka Yuji went out and closed the door so as not to disturb the conversation between the two.
"I'm surprised that you are willing to cooperate with Sega. After all, you are a direct descendant of Nintendo. So when Yuji came back and said that Zhanlong had the intention to cooperate with Sega, to be honest, I was skeptical. I wanted to ask you, what do you want to do?
What is it?" Nagio Nakayama said.
Su Butong had obviously already thought about this question from Nagio Nakayama, but he still thought about it and asked: "Mr. Nakayama is an expert, what do you think of the current landscape of home console games?"
Nagio Nakayama was not angry at Subutong's rhetorical question, and mused: "Naturally, Nintendo is the only one, especially since last year, Nintendo games have accounted for 60% of game sales. This is something we have never thought of before."
Su Butong nodded and said, "I have seen your company's new game console, and its performance is even better than the NES, but the Ren system has taken a head start. Although the home console market has not reached saturation, it has
There are many first-party, second-party and third-party excellent game supports, giving consumers a strong advantage when choosing."
Nagio Nakayama said: "We have thought about this, so we want to surpass the NES in all aspects."
Su Butong said something in his heart again, and said: "With all due respect, the Ren system has become a trend in this generation. I am afraid that with similar functions, it cannot be said to be able to catch up with the NES, or even the current level of the home console market."
The pattern of "one super, many powerful" will not change much. The reason why I chose to cooperate with Sega is to target the "next generation" home console, and I think the best way to reflect this is to combine the graphics of arcade games.
Music has moved into home consoles. Only in this way can Sega take the lead..."
Nagio Nakayama didn’t expect Subbutong’s understanding to be so thorough, and hesitated: “But without good game support, if any system chooses a home machine with the same performance, Sega will still be compared.”
Su Butong smiled and said: "Are the people who play games this year the same group of people as those who played games last year? What about next year? What about the year after that? Although the games of Ren series are fun, how do they compare with arcade games? The difference between them is
Where? If President Zhongshan can figure this out, I think it can be used as a selling point for Sega's next-generation console." Su Butong deliberately let it slip. If he doesn't say these words now, Sega will gradually follow the same path.
A path, it is better to talk about it now, to seek the greatest benefit for Zhan Long.
"Why did Su Butong teach me?" After listening to Su Butong's words, Zhongshan Nagxiong suddenly became enlightened. Su Butong scratched a key itch, but he still didn't understand the key points.
"Why don't we talk about the cooperation between the two parties first?" Su Butong smiled slyly. What he said before was for Sega's technical advantage in making arcade games. Only by using Sega's things for his own use can Zhan Long
Overcoming technological leaps, from 8-bit computers to 16-bit machines. This is like a baby going from crawling to standing and walking. As long as it learns to stand and walk, it is not particularly difficult to learn to run.
Standing up while standing up is the most critical technical point among them. Nintendo may not be willing to teach this technical point, and even if it is willing to teach Zhan Long, it will pay a considerable price. Rather than this, it is better for Zhan Long to take the initiative.
Nakayama Nagio smiled helplessly, hearing what Subbutong meant, so he suppressed his curiosity and began to discuss cooperation between the two companies with Subutong.
The more Nakayama Nagio talked about it, the more he felt that he would be intimidated. Most of the cooperation methods he had prepared were rejected by Su Butong. He originally wanted to send a few people to China for technical guidance, but Su Butong made up his mind this time and directly
Let his game production team come to Sega for half-year training. They will work and live all at Sega.
Nagio Nakayama smiled bitterly and shook his head. The production of arcade games was not a huge trade secret for Sega, so he agreed. At the same time, he also thought a little bit about whether he could poach some production staff from Zhanlong.
After discussing the details of the cooperation, Su Butong stopped hiding it and said directly: "Sega wants to share the console game market with Ren. It's actually very simple - differentiation, creating games that they like for specific groups of consumers.
That kind of game."
Nagio Nakayama became interested: "For example?"
Su Butong chuckled and said: "My employees will be free of charge for food and accommodation at your place for the past six months, so I will continue."
