Chapter 173 Two steamed buns step on each other and neither one is good.
Moritani is the existence of one person below ten thousand people in the company, the core of the core.
Kamigoshi Kagemasa would not break up with him because of Yamamoto Tsuna.
After all, as a pure businessman, Joetsu knew very well that he could not protect the calf at this time, and he could only adopt a gentle and appeasing policy towards the managing director.
After half an hour of confidential conversation.
Under Joetsu's repeated insistence, Moritani could not twist his thigh with his arm.
then!
A week later!
Yuki was sitting in the tea bar downstairs of the company, staring at the white peach oolong tea in front of him in a daze.
…We’re going to develop Silent Hill ourselves.
Yuki was a little confused and a little hesitant.
As the main artist who personally participated in the production of the game, Yuki knew that the draft plan produced by Yamamoto Tsuna simply could not capture the exquisite concept and world view of Silent Hill.
Because once, when Director Gu and several of his supervisors went out for dinner, he revealed a little bit about the concept of the main game of Silent Hill.
According to the director, the Silent Hill IP has great potential.
The settings of the table world and the inner world can be interpreted in two ways.
The first explanation is the literal meaning, these are two parallel time and spaces.
The second explanation is the material world and the spiritual world.
The spiritual world relies on the physical world for its existence, and the comfort and salvation that cannot be obtained in the material world will be projected into the spiritual world.
These are two parallel world lines that influence each other.
"In this main work, I hope to reflect the theme of 'redemption', first setting the tone of Silent Hill, and then slowly completing its worldview."
"Where did it come from, why did it form, where will it go, and how many people are hiding their deepest secrets here?"
"Of course, the premise is that Comella can recognize my idea and is willing to continue this series..."
Gu Sheng's speech at a dinner party was still fresh in Yuki's memory.
Despite the clouds and fog, Yuki could feel it.
Under the direction of Director Gu, Silent Hill will become one of the most classic IPs in the history of horror games with its unique world view and themes.
They will make history.
And now.
Joetsu Keimasa and Yamamoto Tsuna obliterated this piece of history that should have been created.
They replaced Gu Sheng's great idea with an extremely mediocre project, hoping to use the popularity of PT to harvest leeks with a sickle.
"This is really..."
Yuki smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Why, are you still hesitating?"
Beside him, Sato took a sip of green tea and exhaled a breath of hot air.
good.
Not only Yuki but also Sato came to the tea bar to drink tea together.
The ‘still hesitating’ in Sato’s words naturally refers to the [Confidentiality Agreement for the Development of the “Silent Hill” Project] that is about to be signed.
good!
As the saying goes, it’s not too late!
Just within a week after the Dongjin Game Festival!
With the support of Joeshi Keimasa, Yamamoto Tsuna completed all the preparatory work for the development of the main game of "Silent Hill" at lightning speed!
Today, he will determine the final team candidates, sign a confidentiality agreement, and start development work!
Without delay!
"I just feel that things happened too fast... In just one week, from the confirmation of kicking out Golden Wind to the lightning project establishment, it was like a dream,"
Saying that, Yuki sighed:
"And during this period, the company is not allowed to reveal any information to Golden Wind, which makes me feel like..."
"Like a thief,"
"Like a thief who steals the fruits of other people's labor."
Hear the words.
Sato chuckled: "Don't feel it, we are thieves."
Yuki:……
"Senior, you are really..." Yuki made a dumbfounded expression: "Quite straightforward."
"What's wrong?"
Sato did not shy away from this:
"In fact, we just stole the popularity of players brought by Silent Hill PT,"
"It's just that we didn't steal the fruit directly, but the saplings planted by Director Gu. Although our behavior is understandable from a legal perspective, from a moral perspective, we are thieves...thieves who stole the saplings."
"But I still can't understand the company's decision,"
Sato's outspokenness made Yuki smile helplessly:
"Silent Hill obviously has such great potential, and even under Director Gu's personal control, it is likely to become a benchmark in the horror game industry. And in the long run, turning it into a series will be more profitable, right?"
Hearing this, Sato nodded.
"Yes, for a game company and its president, this is the case,"
But then, the conversation changed again:
"But we are not a game company, and our president is not the president of a game company."
Sato said:
"He doesn't care about the content of the game, nor the connotation of the game. In his view, the game is a commodity, and the producer is the employee on the assembly line. The commodity never belongs to the employees, but belongs to KOMINA and is part of the company's assets."
"Business allocation, employee transfer,"
"This is perfectly normal for President Joetsu,"
"Besides..."
There was a pause.
Sato took another sip of tea:
"President Joetsu is 58 this year. According to company regulations, he will be relegated to the second line in two years."
Say it.
Sato looked at Yuki, grinning helplessly.
Muneki Sato deserves to be called ‘Smart Sato’.
Over the years, he has seen how many producers KOMINA has actively or passively driven away and how many projects it has cut off.
Let’s not talk about other projects, let’s just talk about Silent Hill.
If Kamikoshi Kage is a person who pays attention to game quality, respects game producers, and values game production teams.
Could the IP of Silent Hill have been buried in dust for so many years?
Could the original TeamSilent be forced to disband?
Maybe it will already become a world-class horror game IP!
so.
Although Sato regrets the current situation, he is not surprised.
He has already seen through KOMINA and its president, Keimasa Kamigoshi.
Although Sato was clear in his heart, he never expressed anything.
He is just the chief architect of the game development team, a registered employee of KOMINA.
Whether the project is axed or not, and whether the producer leaves, what does it have to do with him?
He is just a working man.
He doesn't care whether the company's business strategy is good or not, as long as he pays wages.
"well--"
After listening to Sato's words, Yuki let out a long sigh:
"So, smart Sato-senpai?"
"The confidentiality agreement will be signed soon. You and I will secretly join the development of Silent Hill, and Golden Wind will be kept in the dark. We..."
Speaking of which.
Yuki stopped.
She knows very well that the company's current approach to Golden Wind is in one word - dragging.
While dragging Golden Wind and not signing a cooperation agreement with it, they secretly tricked Chen Cang into developing the main game of Silent Hill.
This way!
It can not only prolong the discussion of Silent Hill and the enthusiasm of players!
You can also be wary of the Golden Wind, which will take a step back and change the name of the Silent Hill project that was originally prepared!
Yuki is very confused.
Although the time I spent with Director Gu was not long, only less than two months.
However, Gu Sheng's personality charm and enthusiasm for games are both impressive.
more importantly!
Golden Wind is a wonderful company!
On the one hand, it is the game director whom I admire and my good friend!
On the other hand, it is a major international company, a company that I only entered with great difficulty!
You can't have your cake and eat it too, so which one should you choose?
It’s as if he has seen through Yuki’s mind!
Cough lightly!
Just listen to Sato on the other side say:
"Yuki, as a senior, I would like to advise you."
"Whether it is the unspoken rules of closed meetings or the validity of the confidentiality agreement, you cannot challenge it,"
"If you want to continue working in KOMINA, don't think about doing both,"
"unless……"
Speaking of which.
Sato paused:
"Unless you don't want to be in the neon game circle anymore."
Sato's words stunned Yuki.
Next!
suddenly!
A flash of lightning flashed in Yuki's mind, as if he had grasped the key!
"also?"
Yuki looked at Sato in surprise.
Sato, on the other hand, smiled calmly.
He did not answer directly, but said casually:
"My father passed away five years ago, my mother is also far away in Britain, and I am a non-marriage person, so..."
Sato shrugged, looking like a bachelor who had eaten enough for himself and the whole family was not hungry.
Yuki was stunned for five seconds!
Then Shi Shiran smiled: "In that case, let's just sit there for a while. I have a phone call to make."
"If you please,"
Sato stretched out his hand to indicate that he was not in a hurry:
"But I don't think the phone call would have shaken him that much."
Hearing this, Yuki raised his eyebrows curiously: "Why?"
Sato smiled:
"Although he is a young up-and-comer, he is definitely not a young up-and-comer."
Although what Sato said was like a riddle, Yuki could understand it and frowned with some suspicion: "Are you sure?"
Sato raised the teacup in his hand: "If I'm wrong, I'll buy you the tea today."
Yuki raised his eyebrows and extended his fist.
Sato also extended his fist and touched Yuki lightly.
Du-du-du--
Click.
The call is connected.
Just then, a sweet and lively girl's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey Yuki, I was just about to call you!"
It was none other than Shen Miaomiao!
Since the two of them regained contact, they often chat for a while when they have free time.
Yuki thought Miaomiao was going to talk to her on the phone, so he interrupted her with a slight cough:
"Miaomiao, that's it. I'm calling today because I have something important to talk to you and Director Gu."
Hear the words.
Shen Miaomiao on the other end of the phone was stunned.
Then he burst into laughter:
"You may not believe it, but the reason why I wanted to call you was because of Lao Gu's instruction."
Say it!
Just listen to a clear and gentle voice on the other end of the phone:
"Saxi is not good for Yuki, I'm looking for you."
"Ah... um... eh?"
Yuki was a little confused:
"Hello, director... how about... you say it first?"
"It doesn't matter, you can talk first,"
Gu Sheng chuckled:
"The end result is the same anyway."
"Ah...ah..."
Yuki blinked, looked around the deserted tea bar, licked his lips, and said cautiously:
"The specific situation may be a little complicated. I'll explain it later. Let's talk about the key points first -"
"The main game of Silent Hill...Comora is ready to be developed independently."
A moment of silence.
Just listen to Gu Sheng's voice on the other end of the phone. It was calm and without any ripples. I even wanted to laugh: "It's gone?"
Ouch?!
Yuki was shocked!
No, no, no?
Wait a moment?
Isn’t that how the script is written?!
Why is Director Gu so calm?!
It stands to reason that after hearing such big news, he should not be shocked and incredulous at first, and then feel ashamed and angry after he explained the specific situation. He angrily accused KOMINA and even cursed, and finally thanked himself for the information he provided.
', Showing the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, and saying that he will definitely take revenge?!
Brother, did you... take the wrong script?
Where is your shock? Where is your anger? Where is your swearing?
Why are you acting like someone who has nothing to do?!
Yuki looked at his phone and then at Sato, who was doing everything as expected:
"So...so Director Gu, you..."
…
"I already knew it."
at the same time.
Hua Guo Binjiang, Golden Wind CEO Office.
Gu Sheng's voice sounded.
good!
As early as a week ago, when the Dongjin Game Festival concluded, Gu Sheng realized that something was wrong.
Because as early as the beginning of this month, before the video game festival was held, Golden Wind had already sent the cooperation agreement to Comella after review and confirmation by Shen Capital’s legal department.
At first, Comella was very positive, saying that it would immediately start the approval procedures, push forward the signing procedures as soon as possible, and strive for early cooperation.
but!
Just after the opening of the video game show!
Something is wrong.
Originally, according to the plan of both parties, Comella should have completed the signing of the contract on the second day of the opening of the video game festival and sent it to Golden Wind.
Golden Wind needs to formally reach a cooperation agreement with Comella within three days, that is, on the closing day of the video game festival.
Because of this, the two parties can jointly announce the start of development of the "Silent Hill" game at the end of the video game festival, triggering a wave of discussion.
However!
Due to various reasons, the signing of the contract with Comella has been delayed.
Today it’s due to domestic policies, tomorrow it’s legal advice, and the day after tomorrow it’s the revision of the formalities and rules for announcements and issuances…
then.
Don’t wait for the Dongjin Game Festival to end!
Gu Sheng went to Xiao Nezha and told her that the Silent Hill cooperation project would most likely be lost.
Gone?!
The moment she heard Lao Gu's judgment, Shen Miaomiao was shocked!
Why is it gone?
Now it seems that Silent Hill PT is at its peak, isn't it, and players are responding very favorably?
Gu Sheng, on the other hand, smiled and said that it was precisely because it was so popular that Comerari became obsessed with it and was ready to kick them out and develop it himself.
After all, judging from this popularity, their 30% investment in Golden Wind will yield very considerable returns.
As expected!
After judging that there is something fishy about Comella.
Gu Sheng also sighed helplessly in his heart!
Dogs can't change eating shit.
My original hunch turned out to be exactly right!
KONAMI is KOMINA!
KOMINA is KONAMI!
If you step on two steamed buns, you won’t get a good cake!
