"A long time ago, I said something like this. On my business card, I am the president of a game company. In my mind, I am a game developer, and deep in my heart, I am the president of a game company.
I'm a player, and this is one thing I've always believed in."
When he said this, Zhu Youxing suddenly became very calm inside.
This famous quote from Mr. Satoru Iwata, the most famous game developer in his previous life and also Takeyusei's favorite game developer, is the most profound quote in Takeyusei's memory.
He also recognized this sentence from the bottom of his heart.
Deep down in his heart, he is still a player, recalling the familiar game scenes from his previous life, and recalling the scenes that were moved by the touching scenes in each game.
After coming to this world, his heart has never changed.
He has always hoped that this world can also create wonderful games. He brought the games from his previous life to this world and let this world feel the culture of his own world.
He also wants to have a good feel for the culture of this world.
Strictly speaking, this should be regarded as a cultural collision of two parallel worlds.
"I remember this sentence. I have seen some interview videos of you in Japan, and this sentence is also a sentence that I particularly recognize."
At this time Bruno has decided on the title of the cover, which is called Gamer's Heart, which is very appropriate for Bamboo Youxing.
Zhu Youxing's eyes were profound: "The original intention of game development is probably because I have a somewhat cultural family background. My mother is a painter and should be somewhat famous. My father used to be an investor, and now he is
He is a novelist, but he is not as famous as my mother."
"Mr. Takeyu's mother is Ms. Takeyu Masako, right? I've also been lucky enough to see her paintings, which are very good works. However, I really haven't heard much about your father. His novels..."
"Well, there's no need to say more about that."
To put it simply, my father’s novels are all blockbusters. I’m afraid no more than 10,000 people have read them. Even among these 10,000 people, 99% probably only read the beginning of my father’s novels and then threw them aside.
Already.
He remembered that his mother, Masako Takeyu, said that his father was paid to write novels, and that it was very miserable to pay someone to print it and then pay others to read it.
But even so, he still enjoys writing novels. It is obvious that he really loves this.
"So it was under the influence of such a family background that Mr. Zhuyou came up with the idea of creating a new cultural product?"
Zhu Youxing nodded first, then shook his head: "That's not entirely true. Family background is one of the reasons. After that, it was my own inspiration."
"Oh? What should I say?"
"Actually, it's quite cliché. I happened to be living a good life in college at the time, and I was accompanied by a close girlfriend. My family was wealthy, and I had a girlfriend. I could be considered a winner in life."
Bruno nodded, but did not interrupt Zhu Youxing.
"But, because I did some wrong things, we finally separated. At that time, I couldn't help it, and even dropped out of school."
In fact, with the character of Zhu Youxing in his previous life, he would never have an emotional breakdown because of a single emotional experience, and would even drop out of school. These were the memories of the original owner, so he could just copy them and be blind in front of the editor of Time Magazine.
It's not wise to tell lies.
They are an organization with the most authoritative information channels. Regardless of the size of the information, there are almost no problems. Anyway, the memory of the original owner has nothing to do with him, so he has no burden to speak out.
Zhu Youxing put on a helpless look and said: "It's very stupid, isn't it? But even in such a stupid state, I wanted to find some... fun. At first, I hid at home alone and read novels, movies, and animations like crazy.
I watched movies and read comics, and then gradually I felt a little bored, and that’s how video games were born in my mind unintentionally.”
The original owner, Zhu Youxing, happened to be a computer major in college. After falling into emotions and being influenced by family culture, he naturally wanted to create a new entertainment method in the computer field. This all sounds very logical.
Although there are still some slightly far-fetched parts, Bruno seems to be very empathetic. As Zhu Yusei talked, his expression began to become somewhat empathetic.
"It's really full of twists and turns. Mr. Zhuyou, your experience is also really exciting. So for all these reasons, you created the world's first popular video game, Mario Brothers, right?"
"That's right."
"So what is the origin of the image of Mario Brothers? Because the characteristics of this character are so unique, it always feels like there are many stories in it."
Bruno obviously wants to dig deeper into some stories about Bamboo Planet.
A dry origins interview alone is certainly not enough.
I have promised to put Zhu Youxing on the cover of the main page of the Times, so I must collect more interesting stories, otherwise I will not be able to explain it to the editor-in-chief.
He promised the editor-in-chief that he would definitely write an excellent interview article.
"Well, it's actually nothing complicated. When I was imagining a video game in my mind, there happened to be a problem with the water pipes at home. Then I called a plumber to come to my house to repair it. I was thinking about it while thinking about it.
Video game creativity.”
"That plumber is the source of your idea? Then his nose must be big, right? Because the most distinctive thing about Mario is his big nose."
"Ah? This is really not the case. I just used the identity of a plumber, but the image was actually carefully thought out by me."
Zhu Youxing is now talking nonsense without a blushing face and a heartbeat. Some things cannot be lied, but things like this that cannot be verified can be made up.
"Regarding Mario's image, it was actually due to the performance limitations of the game console I developed at the time. The FC game console I initially created had very poor graphics performance. After all, it was the first time I worked in the attic with another founder.
There is really no technical content in what is put together, so the picture can only show very simple pixel color blocks."
Zhu Youxing took out a paper and pen and started to match his description on the paper and continue talking.
"The original FC was an eight-bit machine, and the characters in it only had very simple pixel images. At that time, I just wanted to make the characters as distinctive as possible in the simple pixels, so the big nose was obviously the most conspicuous. This is Mario's big nose.
The origin of."
This incident actually happened in the previous life. The big nose of Mario in the previous life was originally created to express the characteristics of the image in simple pixel paintings.
Later, Mario's image was short and fat with a big nose, and then another character, Luigi, was made tall and thin in order to distinguish him better in the game.
Thus, Mario and Luigi, two of the most famous characters in video games, were born.
"So it's like this, it's really amazing." Bruno said with a surprised look on his face.
He doesn't understand these programming and computer technology things, but Zhu Youxing has made it as simple and clear as possible, making it easy for him to understand.
He had previously conceived many very tortuous storylines in game development in his mind, but in fact there were many coincidences in the development of the game, and at the same time the drama was not weak.
He was very satisfied with the interview and it seemed like a perfect exchange.
