Sitting in front of Liu Lang were Wan'an and his son, Chengxian and Cattermole. They were all big guys in the IT industry of this era, but at this time the "big guys" were listening to Liu Lang's "teaching".
"Future entertainment must rely on computers. The initial form of games is stand-alone games. This is the most promising entertainment project in the next ten years, and will even surpass movies and television. Why? Because this kind of game has a very high degree of participation.
, game players conduct adventures by operating computers. As long as they do not pass the level, everything ahead is unknown. Human instinct is to explore the unknown, so once this kind of game comes out, it will definitely crush other forms of entertainment.
.”
Liu Lang made it clear at the beginning that he had set his sights on computer games.
"I agree with Mr. Liu's point of view. In fact, just last year, Will Wright has designed a "Sim City" game. I have played this game and it is very attractive. Dozens of it have been sold across the United States.
Ten thousand copies."
Wanhe agreed.
"Yes, this is the beginning of computer games, but computer games are not limited to this. In my opinion, computer games can have many types, such as "Sim City". I classify it as a strategy game, which uses various
Using various methods to rebuild a city and turn it from a village into a city will give people a sense of accomplishment.
In fact, this game is very primitive. We can completely enlarge it to a civilization. For example, at the beginning of the game, the protagonist is just a primitive man with only the simplest stone tools around him. The protagonist wants to lead the primitive people to make iron and steel.
Make weapons, then occupy other tribes, and then mine coal
, make steam engines, generate electricity, and lead your subordinates step by step to create a civilization. Human beings have many civilizations, such as the Chinese nation, ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient India, and ancient Greece. Each civilization has different characteristics.
Players can completely choose a civilization form to develop."
Liu Lang's words stunned everyone present, "Fuck, this is not a very big imagination, but if you think about it carefully, this form of game is really very attractive."
But Liu Lang hasn't finished speaking yet.
"In addition to strategy games, there are also role-playing games. These are very simple. They turn a movie into a game, and the players are the plot. For example, in a pulp novel, there are three male protagonists, and the players are
You can choose at will, everyone’s development process is different, and every choice you make will bring different results!”
There are also action games, and Contra three years ago is the representative of this kind of game, but Contra does not run on a computer, and the scenes are relatively simple.
There are also shooting games, adventure games and more!”
Liu Lang introduced the computer game to everyone in great detail, and the audience was completely silent as they listened to him for more than an hour.
Well, I’m no stranger to the game industry. In fact, the earliest computer games appeared as early as ten years ago. They were similar to Pac-Man. That kind of game was too simple. It was good to play it for the first time.
After a long time, visual fatigue will occur, so it does not have much impact.
A few years ago, Wanan Company also released a game, which is a small game about helicopters avoiding obstacles. This game is mainly to promote the latest Flash software released by Wanan Company, and it is not released as a separate game.
, but this small game is very popular, and Wanan Company has successively produced several similar games, such as racing games, kickball games, etc.
But whether it is the island country or Wan'an Company and other companies whose main business is games, their knowledge of computer games is definitely not as good as Liu Lang's. Even before Liu Lang, no one knew that there were so many types of games.
Now that Liu Lang has listed them out, it simply opens a door to a new world for everyone.
Of course, they are accustomed to Liu Lang's imagination, but what he said is not too far-fetched. For example, role-playing games are just to move the movie to the computer and then add the controller. It's that simple. The selling point is that
The future plot is unknown.
There is also strategy ***, creating a city or even a civilization, which can give people a huge sense of accomplishment. Shooting games are also very good. Americans cannot do without shooting. I believe this game can be liked by everyone. In short
In a word, Liu Lang's words brought inspiration to everyone, and also brought another direction of development. Any type of game can definitely make money as long as it can be developed. As for how much it is not known, Liu Lang
It is said that this is a new form of entertainment in the future and is destined to become a mainstream project.
Everyone sitting here is an expert, and they know how to use the technology at hand to turn Liu Lang's vision into reality. Of course, it cannot be said that it is Liu Lang's vision. This is the inevitable result of the development of the times, but Liu Lang now uses language more clearly.
Explain it.
Nowadays, the United States must have a plan if it wants to develop. No matter whether it is the United States or other countries, once the plan is completed, the rest can be followed. The same is true for industrial development. The United States has now realized the importance of the computer industry, and then through certain methods
Resources are concentrated in the computer industry.
Some people say that the United States is a pure market economy and everything is done in accordance with market rules. In fact, this is not completely correct. They will also use financial and other policies to affect some industries, and they have the most direct way, which is to suppress similar foreign companies.
In the industry, as long as you kill your opponents, you don't have to worry anymore. This is the case with the chip industry.
The chip industry in the island country developed rapidly in the first few years. In the 1980s, it built a wafer production line and sold it to China. As a result, the United States began to take action in the late 1980s, first supporting South Korea in developing its chip industry, and then signing a contract with the island country.
A series of contracts required the other party to abandon the chip industry and only be responsible for the production of components. The island country, which originally had a complete set of chip manufacturing processes, began to shift to manufacturing single-link components. Of course, this change has good and bad times, and it is obvious at a glance.
The United States recognizes the future of the chip industry, so it spares no effort to develop it. Wanan Company can also deeply understand the power of the United States in this aspect. This is a national-level plan.
The same is true for other industries. For example, no matter how busy Liu Lang is, he will return to Shengtang every once in a while to set his goals for the next one or two years. For example, this time he came back and made plans for Shengtang Company's film and record development in the next two years.
aspects of goals.
Liu Lang just talked to everyone for more than an hour, why? Isn't it just to plan the direction of new forms of entertainment in the next few years? That is computer games.
Computer games are a form of entertainment, but unlike simple movies and records, they need to be backed by powerful technology. This technology is software development capabilities. Shengtang Company cannot compare with Wanan Company in this aspect, so it needs help from the other party.
.
The two companies Shengtang and Wanan have cooperated very closely in the past few years, mainly in the production of special effects. Some technical problems will be solved by Wanan. Therefore, Wanan has set up an entertainment software development department, which is under the jurisdiction of Wanan.
In Wanhe's software development department, the two companies have a cooperative relationship. Wan'an Company is responsible for developing related software, and Shengtang Company will pay the other party in accordance with the contract. For the "Toy Story" film, Wan'an Company received two million
The remuneration of tens of thousands of dollars is far greater than their development costs.
Now Liu Lang has proposed a new way of cooperation, which is to develop new computer game programs.
