Chapter 77 Signing with Platinum Studios
In this way, several people left the conference room. In general, everyone gained something. Wei Junjie gained a future money printing machine, while Tian Linzhizhu gained a future big daddy.

Overall, we each have a bright future
Following the introduction of several people at the meeting, an employee suddenly broke in, looked at the crowd and asked, "Wei Junjie, are you there?"

Wei Junjie looked at the GF employee in front of him in confusion, raised his hand to indicate that he was present, and asked him what he wanted.

"There is a person from a game studio who is waiting for you in the living room. Listen to him saying that you are grateful for his game and want to invest. He is waiting for you in the living room." The employee said to Wei Junjie.

"Ah?" Wei Junjie was stunned again.

Then Wei Junjie thought carefully and probably knew who it was, so he followed the employee into the waiting room.

In the reception room, there was a 27-year-old young man. The man was very nervous and his hands were sweating.

When Ye Guozhi saw Wei Junjie come in, he immediately stood up and greeted him, holding Wei Junjie's hands.

Wei Junjie looked at him with a smile and stretched out his right hand to shake it.

"Sit, sit, sit." Wei Junjie waved his hand, and as Ye Guozhi said, he turned to look at the employee who had just brought him here: "Hi, can you make us two cups of coffee?"

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Wei Junjie just had a meeting at GF and was really disturbed." Ye Guozhi said humbly.

Why do you think the person in charge of Ye Guozhi's humble family behaves so humblely?

I don’t feel humble. What can he do? There is nothing he can do!
If there is a game developer who owns several masterpieces, among which the female character can be called wife by countless players, and the company has a good reputation, then a game company must be a golden fruit.

However, it turns out that he did not live a wonderful life, but lived like a dog.

Platinum Studio, game foundry, Lu Fengxian and Lu Bu in the gaming industry.

There is a saying in Luo Guanzhong's novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms": There is a general next to him, with round eyes, an upside-down tiger beard, an eight-foot-long snake spear, Pegasus shouting: "The slaves of the three surnames must not leave! Zhang Fei from Yan is here!" "Lü Bu saw this, abandoned Gongsun Zan, and fought against Zhang Fei.

Who is Lu Bu?He was a valiant "flying general" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but he was better known as the "house slave with three surnames".Similarly, in the game industry, there is also such a "three-surname house slave" - ​​Platinum Studio that "works" for many major companies.

Unlike Pokémon, even if Pokémon fails to attract investment this time, it cannot find another way to find EA. Anyway, EA is similar to Penguin, doing everything, but it has nothing to do with Ren Xiaotang.

But he couldn't help it. His reputation among manufacturers in the gaming industry was really bad, and he broke the lowest sales records of major manufacturers time and time again.

"Bayonetta", "Absolute Conquest", and "Chaos" did not lose money, plus a certain employee who said he wanted to chop off his head resigned.

If you talk about European and American movies, "Avatar: The Legend of Korra", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" and "Transformers" really set new records time and time again.

Platinum Studios played a good hand of cards badly, which attracted a lot of criticism from European and American media and players.

Faced with a partner who had never been disappointed in this matter, I couldn't bear it anymore and finally gave up on continuing to cooperate with Platinum Studio.

Platinum Studio, like the founders, was brilliant at the beginning because of its boldness, casualness, and independence.

However, the more they want to maintain this kind of creative independence, they will often fall into the vicious circle of "the harder they work, the more unlucky they will be", and step by step they will become a processing factory for a large factory.Changing "made from platinum" to "created from platinum" has become a fantasy like flowers in the water and the moon in the mirror.

If we want to say that the most peculiar game development company in Japan is none other than Platinum Studios, except for a certain bald head who often speaks out wildly.

But the bald man once said that his biggest wish is that Nintendo executives would break into his office, point a gun at his head and say: You guys, hurry up and make me a new "Star Fox" work.

Wei Junjie really felt that it was so realistic that even drinking water would fill his teeth.

"I don't know, what is Mr. Ye Guozhi's current view of the gaming industry?"

As soon as the two of them sat down, Wei Junjie's aura seemed to have changed. Wei Junjie looked at Ye Guozhi in front of him and asked a question casually, but it seemed to be intentional, making people a little confused.

"Sorry, I don't know, Old Wei, do you want to talk about games, manufacturers, or players?" Ye Guozhi suddenly asked.

"Let's just talk about games and nothing else. After all, everyone knows who they are!" Wei Junjie thought for a while.

“The rapid development of the global game industry can be seen with the naked eye, and there has been a qualitative leap in terms of market performance and production level.”

Wei Junjie nodded seriously and continued to listen to Ye Guozhi.

“With a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, major game manufacturers are working hard to see who has the best game.
Those who have works will draw big cakes, and those who have no works will fry cold rice. Cold rice is not fried casually, as soon as they are fried, they will win the grand prize of the best game. "

Ye Guozhi told Wei Junjie his ideas and opinions without any scruples, treating himself as a roundworm in Wei Junjie's belly.

"If Mr. Wei is willing, I can guarantee to give you the best game!" Ye Guozhi promised Wei Junjie.

Wei Junjie asked back: "Why do you think so?"

"Because my games are innovative and creative, they can bring more profits. I can guarantee that as long as you have my games in hand, they will be many times better than those games on the market now!"

After Ye Guozhi finished speaking confidently, he looked at Wei Junjie with a scrutinizing look.

In this way, Wei JJ played the well-deserved "Save the Knight", Ren Xiaotang stepped in to save the project, and finally obtained the rights to "Bayonetta".

All in all, after causing trouble to Sony and Microsoft, they begged their financiers to invest, but the financiers had no choice but to hug Lao Wei's last leg.

In one sentence, it's a catcher. However, it's actually on Switch. It must be exclusive. How can it be released on PC for you?

Ren Xiaotang provides funds for development, and the studio is only responsible for development. All product decisions are made by Ren Xiaotang, so if you want to put this game on other platforms, please contact Ren Xiaotang.

As for you saying that Ren Xiaotang is selfish?But you have to consider a question first?
If not, Ren Xiaotang, does Bayonetta still exist in this world?
But here comes the problem again. Bayonetta 1 was developed by Sega, which means that this IP is not exclusive to Ren Xiaotang, and the initial development funds for Bayonetta 2 were provided by Sega.

Wei Junjie thought for a while, then he would have to go to Sega.
But before I say that, I need to give birth to "Sister Bei 2" first.
