Coquettish Rebirth

After running upstairs at the small front desk for a while, I heard the sound of footsteps rushing down the stairs, and after a while, I saw a man with a parted hair in the middle, who looked like a man in an anti-Japanese film. Jian's guy ran down.This person was wearing a white shirt at this time, giving Jia Hongjian and his party the feeling that he was like a passerby that could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys in China!

"Excuse me, are you the guests who are here to commission the game?" The "Han Jian" hurriedly walked up to Jia Hongjian and asked.As soon as he saw Jia Hongjian nodding his head, the Han Jian hurriedly grabbed Jia Hongjian's right hand with both hands excitedly, "Please take care of me when we meet for the first time! My name is Tajiri Satoshi, and I am listed as the president of Gefrek Club. Please rest assured that as long as If the current technology of the game your company wants to make can be achieved, then we will definitely be able to help your company make it! Although our company is small, our technical strength is not bad. I will tell you about the relationship between the famous Nintendo and our company. But it’s very good, Shigeru Miyamoto, the father of Mario, is a good friend with me, and he introduced me to Junpei Yokoi, the father of gb! And Nintendo will send technicians to teach some of their magical software technology from time to time..."

Tajiri Satoshi rambled on a lot, as if he was afraid that Jia Hongjian and the others would run away when they saw that the company was too small.But of course Jia Hongjian knew about him and his company. Not only did Jia Hongjian know that Tajiri Satoshi knew Miyamoto Shigeru and Yokoi Gunpei, but he even knew that the protagonist [Xiaozhi] in "Pet Elf" This is the one who took his own name!Tajiri [Chi] Satoshi!Who is that Xiaomao?Xiaomao is naturally the Shigeru Miyamoto who made "Super Mario Bros."!

"Hehe, President Tajiri, please don't worry, we came all the way from China, we didn't just find a company to make it, but we came here because we knew our gefrek's strength!" What Jia Hongjian said was really bragging and touting gefrek up!Before the founding of gefrek, the gefrek company was a doujinshi organization led by Satoshi Tajiri. It was founded in 199 before the release of their first f game, qinty. However, after so many years of establishment, there are 7 games in total.In terms of technical prowess, there is nothing particularly magical about it, but it is because of its relationship that it helped Nintendo make the games "Yoshi and the Egg" and "Mario and Wario" to become famous.

"Everyone, please sit down and drink tea. I wonder what kind of game you would like to entrust Gefrek to make?" Jia Hongjian and his party were invited into the meeting room. !.Tajiri Satoshi made tea for everyone by himself, then sat opposite Jia Hongjian, and asked excitedly and anxiously like an insurance salesman.

"It's like this..." While talking, Jia Hongjian took out a set of riwen business proposals and a confidentiality contract and handed them to Satoshi Tajiri, "We mainly want to make a game where we collect monsters and fight against each other. The platform is tentatively set to be the geby handheld..."

Hearing this, Tajiri Satoshi was suddenly dumbfounded!why?Because since three years ago, he has been thinking about making a game with a similar idea!This idea still came from when he was enjoying the cool and drinking in the backyard of Shigeru Miyamoto's house.That's what I thought of when I saw the longhorn beetle.At that time, he saw the beetle, and thought of how he and his friends were keen on catching all kinds of beetles when he was a child, and everyone even put the beetles they caught together for a battle—put them in a jar for wrestling or catching and fighting, to see whose Beetles are the best!

At that time, he began to think about whether he could make such a childlike game. For example, in gb, the content is a game where children catch beetles all over the world and fight against each other?Later, after telling Shigeru Miyamoto about this idea, Shigeru Miyamoto liked the idea quite a bit and encouraged him to make it.

But early ideas are easy.However, it is not easy to make a system, and Tajiri Satoshi has never thought about how to do this game system—at that time, he really wanted to make it so that players could use two gb handhelds to conduct real-person battles through connection and other methods. Yes, but he didn't think about how to do this battle system!

It is due to the design problems of this system and the continuous modification of the entire game concept.After these three years of production, his game has not yet been produced, and it is only a basic prototype. However, because too much money, time and human resources were spent on this project, the final salary was low. It's almost impossible to open, and now the company has just resigned and left three designers!

Originally Tajiri Satoshi heard that there was a God of Wealth who took the initiative to commission a game. At that time, he was excited and thought that the financial crisis would be over, but what he never expected was that when he came, he heard the game the other party wanted to make and his own design. The game has been around for almost three years!

"This..." He originally wanted to see the other party's project proposal, but the first thing he saw was a confidentiality agreement. "What you want to do is a monster battle game? What kind of monster? What kind of battle?"

"Hehe, why didn't Brother Xiaozhi sign this non-disclosure agreement first. Then read our project proposal? Everything is written in it!" Jia Hongjian's voice sounded like a The devil's whisper, although it seems dangerous, has a kind of temptation that people can't get rid of.He gritted his teeth and signed his name on the non-disclosure agreement, then eagerly opened the project proposal in front of him.

After opening it, he only found out that the plan was to develop a game called Pokemon, and the species of Pokemon was naturally the monster in this game.What is surprising is that this foreigner—I don’t know if he is Korean—has actually compiled a relatively reasonable possibility for this Pokémon in such detail.It seems that since the era of the extinction of dinosaurs, there have been Pokemon on the earth...

After reading it gradually, he was really more and more interested in seeing the various Pokemon sketches and appearance settings plus various magical abilities in the project proposal.It is not even an exaggeration to say that if he compares it with the insect battle game he designed in his heart, it is obvious that this Pokemon battle game is more interesting and attractive to children!Especially the yellow little monster owned by the male protagonist named Xiaozhi who has the same name as himself. It looks like a rabbit or a mouse with long ears and can discharge electricity. The monster called is simply too cute!At this time, Tajiri Satoshi even had a feeling that he hated himself for not thinking of such a good idea at the beginning, and hated why he didn't think of this game!However, he wouldn't know that this Pokemon itself was thought up by him in history, and it was transformed from his insect battle design in 1995!

Tajiri Satoshi continued to look down at this project proposal, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he was, because he actually found that in this project project, it seemed that not only the initial script and ideas of the game were written out, but even some detailed settings of the game were written out. ——In this plan, Jia Hongjian actually wrote that each monster should have a different "drop rate", which is actually a different frequency of appearance and a different catch rate!Seeing this, Satoshi Tajiri suddenly remembered what Shigeru Miyamoto said to him before - at least for the Japanese market, collectability is a very important part of the playability of a game!

When he saw that there were dozens of hidden monsters and hidden plots connected to the future, he was really shocked!You must know that Shigeru Miyamoto has only figured out in the past few years that a good game must have about 40% hidden elements!Who is this foreigner who can't speak Japanese in front of him?If they could write such a complete and good business plan, wouldn't it be enough to just recruit people from various game companies to make games? Why would they entrust a small company like them to do it?Is there any conspiracy here?

Of course there is a conspiracy!At this time, Jia Hongjian said through the translator: "Mr. Tajiri, to tell you the truth, our company is actually China's Huamei Animation, which is one of the subsidiaries of Shanghai American Film Studio. In order to break into the Japanese animation market, we deliberately designed the theme of such a game. And our means of promoting animation is to rely on games—buying games, plus a cost price, we can buy a full set of game-derived animations!"

What?Buy games and get cartoons?Or buy cartoons and get games?My God, why does this Chinese Meiying Factory seem to be very powerful? When did Chinese companies become so powerful?Wait, that Meiying Studio seems to be the film studio where Osamu Tezuka's idol used to be?No wonder...but this time the Chinese are very ambitious!

"I wonder if Mr. Tajiri is willing to accept our commission?" Jia Hongjian asked at this time, "Yes! If we let us do this, we can basically make a basic version of the finished product for you in early 95!" Satoshi Tajiri Said very confidently.Yes, he didn't make his own game because he had no direction and didn't know what the system was going to do.Now that I have Jia Hongjian's guidance, wouldn't it be very fast to follow the direction of pure programming and art?

"Okay, then let's discuss the contract!" Jia Hongjian said with a smile at this time, but at this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and followed up with a sentence - "By the way, I don't know about Mr. Tajiri's What is the price if the gefrek club sells it?"

"Okay, hehe, it's not expensive, as long as you give us 200 million, we can help make it... Wait, are you asking about our company's price? What do you mean?" Tajiri replied with a smile at first But after answering half of it, I started to find something wrong.

"What I mean is, I want to buy you gefrek. I forgot to introduce another shareholder of our Huamei Company, who has about 5 million US dollars in cash in his account. So if your company is willing to be acquired, not only will Mr. Xiaozhi be able to stay, At the same time, they can get nearly unlimited financial support, and the head office will not interfere too much with Gefrek..." The extremely tempting devil's whisper came again... To be continued. .
