In another time and space, perhaps "The King of Fighters" was not the most popular fighting game. After all, there were "Street Fighter", "Hungry Wolf" and many other similar games before it. ( )
But it is different now. The only decent competitor around the world is the first generation of "Street Fighter". The first generation of "Street Fighter" had huge flaws, and some well-received game characters such as Chun-Li also
has not yet been born, but "The King of Fighters" has directly launched a relatively perfect version. In the fighting game genre, it is simply the rhythm of seeking defeat alone.
In addition to the game content, there is another advantage in terms of hardware. "The King of Fighters" uses a 16-bit arcade motherboard newly developed by Sega. This is the only one with no other branch in the world, let alone "Street Fighter"
Capcom cannot compete with it, and even Nintendo, the leader in the gaming industry, is still slowly developing its 16-bit console.
The application of 16-bit arcade motherboards has made Sega's "King of Fighters" a qualitative leap ahead of Capcom's "Street Fighter" in terms of screen colors and background scrolls.
what does that mean?
It is not just the popularity of "The King of Fighters", but the beginning of a comprehensive replacement of arcade game motherboards. After the emergence of 16-bit arcade machines, the original 8-bit motherboard arcade machines looked like shit, and game arcades around the world began to
Sega's new motherboard was replaced, and other companies' arcade games were suddenly squeezed out of the market.
Although Sega cannot compete with Nintendo in home game consoles, it has always had an advantage in arcade machines. Now it has taken the lead in developing a 16-bit arcade motherboard and has instantly captured more than 80% of the world's arcade market share.
Not only that. Sega's 16-bit home game console was also released after New Year's Day. It started a bloody battle with several of the best-selling Nintendo game consoles on the market, and took some fat from Nintendo's mouth.
Just judging from the current market share, Sega is already the second largest game company in the world, and judging from this momentum, it seems that it is not impossible to surpass Nintendo.
But things are not that simple. The 16-bit game console developed by Sega is only the first generation work, and it will take at least two or three years for it to be truly mature and popular. During these two or three years, Nintendo can catch up with the technological gap, or even surpass it.
Sega. After all, Nintendo's 16-bit machine had already been developed, but Sega came out first.
Kang Jianfei's game console foundry in Shenzhen now has several production lines in full operation. The Sega 16-bit home game console produced is sold around the world and has become a major foreign exchange earner in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone.
Sega's profits have doubled several times in just two months. The proud Nakayama Hayao is planning to take Sega public. The money raised after the listing will be used to spread Sega's business around the world.
As a Japanese game magazine commented: Sega has changed the game market structure. The emergence of 16-bit game consoles is a major innovation in the history of electronic games.
In the original time and space, if Hayao Nakayama hadn't committed suicide, Sega might have surpassed Nintendo. The company used the money earned from games to build Sega's theme parks, amusement parks, real estate and other messy businesses, and finally ended up with
The company's capital chain was broken and the company had to be packed up and sold.
Although in the end Nakayama Hayao used the golden cicada to escape from the shell, Sega was reborn from the ashes, but from then on Sega has lost its glory.
…
Queen's Theatre.
The first scene of "Tang Bo Hu Dian Qiu Xiang" was officially released, and Liu Zhenwei brought his good friend Wong Kar-wai closer to the cinema. Liu Zhenwei himself is a comedian. And the style is almost nonsensical. He will definitely watch the movie directed by Kang Jianfei and starring Zhou Xingchi.
In fact, if you carefully study Hong Kong movies, you will know that various plots in some classic movies have been borrowed into later works, and are even still used in mainland movies twenty or thirty years later.
The King of Sunglasses has been wearing sunglasses all day long. The sunglasses were given by his wife Chen Yijin (part-time TVB program director). The original reason was that Wong Kar-wai often stayed up late to write scripts, and his wife gave him sunglasses to cover the dark circles under his eyes.
, it became a habit over time, and now I have to wear sunglasses even when drinking afternoon tea.
Only when watching movies does Wong Kar Wai take off his sunglasses.
"Guess what Kang Jianfei will make of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" this time?" After Liu Zhenwei sat down in the screening room, before the movie started, he casually chatted with Wong Kar-wai.
Wong Kar-wai looked at the packed screening hall, even the first row of seats were all occupied, and he was not only envious of the box office of Kang Jianfei's film. Wong Kar-wai has been in the Hong Kong film and television industry for almost 10 years. Before that, he basically wrote scripts for others. Last year
Finally, I made "Carmen" with great pride. Not only did it sell more than 10 million at the box office during the regular period, but it also received 7 Academy Award nominations.
Some people compare Wong Kar-wai, who was in the limelight last year, with Gao Zhisen, but compared with Kang Jianfei, Wong Kar-wai always feels the difference.
After hearing this question from his old partner, Wong Kar-wai said: "Kang Jianfei's "A Chinese Ghost Story" is an old film that is difficult to surpass. "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is also a classic old film and folklore. If he hadn't asked Stephen Chow to be the director,
As for the male protagonist, it will definitely be another love classic. But since it is Stephen Chow, it will definitely be a crazy style."
"Maybe Stephen Chow will act in a drama." Liu Zhenwei said with a smile.
There was a trial screening of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" a few days ago, but neither of them went to see it, and they didn't want to read movie reviews in advance. Today they came to try something new.
"If it is a serious drama, then why choose Stephen Chow as the leading actor? Alas, Hong Kong has always been a market for comedy films. Kang Jianfei's decision to make "Tang Bohu" into a comedy film is the most correct choice from the perspective of commercial interests." Wong Kar-wai said with emotion. This
Although I never ask for a script as a director, I have written countless scripts for others, some of which are comedies. Everyone is in it to make money, and it doesn’t matter whether it is art or not. Kang Jianfei’s "Fang Fang" won the Grand Prize in Cannes, and "A Chinese Ghost Story"
"" is also considered a classic of its generation, and no one doubts Kang Jianfei's quality in making movies.
After the opening scene of DreamWorks, a group of people grabbed the waste paper from the garbage basket outside the Tang Mansion. They used exaggerated techniques to show Tang Bohu's awesomeness. Then there was Tang Bohu holding a brush in his hand, swiping ink with a focused expression...
"puff!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Just over 10 seconds after the main film started, the audience burst into laughter in the theater.
Even Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai couldn't help but laugh. Although they knew it was a comedy, they were still amused when they saw Tang Bohu, played by Stephen Chow, seriously using a brush dipped in soy sauce to spread grilled chicken wings.
From this moment on, the laughter in the screening room almost never stopped, and on average there would be a burst of laughter in about 5 minutes.
Nonsensical comedies don't need any connotation or logic. If they can make people laugh, they are qualified, and they won't make people feel that the money spent on the movie tickets was wasted.
"Chan Baixiang's acting is really cheap."
"Yuan Danqiong is really generous. She used to be very young and beautiful when she acted in TV series. She actually wore makeup and played an ugly girl."
"The part about Stephen Chow selling himself made me laugh to death."
"The heroine is quite beautiful, why haven't I heard of her before?"
"The actress is from mainland China, her name is Gong Li."
"She became a 'flying girl' as soon as she arrived in Hong Kong. Does Gong Li have any background?"
"Who knows. Maybe he had an affair with Kang Jianfei."
"I think it's possible. Brother Fei is really a romantic talent. Last year, Michelle Reis, Rosamund Kwan and Joey Wang were competing for favor. It seems that there will be more jealous women in the future."
"A philandering bitch!"
"Speak clearly if you are jealous, and say sour grapes if you can't eat them."
"..."
Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai walked out of the screening room and listened to the comments from the audience around them. They were both moved and speechless. As a director, the scandal was actually talked about, which can be regarded as reaching a certain level.
The two of them did not go home directly after watching the movie. Instead, they drove to eat at a food stall.
Preparations for Wong Kar-wai's new film "Days of Being Wild" have been completed, and he officially started filming after attending the Academy Awards. Liu Zhenwei and Wong Kar-wai talked about "Days of Being Wild" for a while, and then began to discuss some matters about "Days of Being Wild". Neither of them wanted to
It is expected that the box office of this movie will drive Deng Guangrong to the hospital next year.
Just when they had almost finished their late-night snack, several young men came to the food stall, sat down next to them, ordered food, and then started talking loudly.
"Brother Ji's Asamiya Athena is so powerful. After a set of combos, that kid's Clark will be completely out of health. He will hit three times and win completely."
"That's right, that kid actually dared to play "Kof" with Brother Chicken. It's like he has too much money and nowhere to spend it. Who doesn't know that Brother Chicken's Asana Athena Central ranks first?"
"It's not a big deal, let that kid beat him with one hand."
"I heard that there is a guy named Li Qinglong in Sai Wan who is very powerful. He calls himself the number one Li Qinglong in Hong Kong. How about Brother Ji, can you use Asamong Athena to teach him how to behave?"
"Which bastard is so excited and actually says he's number one in Hong Kong? I'm only number one in Central."
"..."
Wong Kar-wai listened for a long time without understanding and asked: "What are they talking about?"
Liu Zhenwei said: "An arcade game called "Kof", its name in Hong Kong is also called "The King of Fighters" and "The King of Fighters". Li Qinglong and Asamiya Athena are both characters in the game."
When Wong Kar-wai heard that it was an arcade game, he lost all interest. Just as he was about to pay the bill and leave, Liu Zhenwei said: "'The King of Fighters' is not only very popular in Hong Kong, but also popular throughout East Asia. You said we should make it into a movie."
How about it?"
"If this game is really that popular, it would be a good idea to make it into a movie." Wong Kar-wai said.
Liu Zhenwei frowned and said, "It's a pity that this game belongs to Kang Jianfei Company. I'm afraid it's difficult to get the movie rights."
"Why is it related to Kang Jianfei again?" Wong Kar-wai said in surprise. If it were a game produced by any foreign company, then a Hong Kong director would probably not pay royalties for making a movie. If you are not in the same country, who would care about you? But if it is
The company under Kang Jianfei must be prepared to litigate if it takes photos of flowers without consent.
Liu Zhenwei smiled bitterly and said: "Not only is it related to Kang Jianfei, but he also planned this game. The comic book of the same name has become so popular in Hong Kong that it has almost caught up with "Dragon and Tiger Gate". I don't know where he got so much energy. He is also making movies and
I draw comics, and now I even have an arcade game." (To be continued...)
ps: Something went wrong with my laptop two weeks ago. Lao Wang took it apart by himself and somehow managed to get it back to normal. As a result, it was completely scrapped yesterday and sent to the repair shop downstairs. It hasn't been repaired yet, so I'm going to get a desktop installed tomorrow.
Yesterday I went to an Internet cafe to prepare for coding, but I couldn't figure out a single word after holding it in for a long time. I played games all night, and this chapter was also finished in the Internet cafe.u
