Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 317: Authentic Chinese material library!

After taking the final step with Chika Ohara last night, Toru Fuyukawa's family life has become more harmonious again.

He went into the kitchen early in the morning and flirted with the three beauties in the kitchen. It was not until Izumi Himawari, Yuezhu Asuka and Koyama Futaba came downstairs drowsily and yawned that he was persuaded to give up by Miyano Mitsuko's fierce yet charming eyes, and obediently took Xiaobai out for a jog.

The sea breeze in the early spring morning is very cool.

Dongchuan Che was wearing grey cropped sweatpants and a black hooded sweatshirt that made him look youthful. He was holding Xiaobai's hand and running at a steady pace along the beach path.

Morning breeze, sea waves, and the cry of seagulls.

They bought a bottle of mineral water from an old store at the corner of the beach. Dongchuan Che, who was sweating profusely, gulped down a big gulp, and poured another big gulp for Xiaobai, who was waiting with his tongue sticking out. Then the man and the dog sat under the tree of the store, enjoying the sea breeze, listening to the waves, and watching the passing vehicles.

"Phew—this kind of life is so comfortable."

After a long-distance run, the brain will completely relax. Feeling the clear heartbeat in his chest, Dong Chuan Che sat on a small chair and quietly looked at all the beautiful things in front of him, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Now that "Elden Ring" has been released, sales are expected to reach 35 million copies.

The terrifying sales brought him terrifying profits, and with FGO entering the final stage of development, he no longer had to work as hard as before. He didn't have to rush to work the next day after an important drinking party last night and spending time with his beloved woman until dawn.

This feeling is pretty good.

Dongchuan Che is indeed very ambitious, but he is not a psychopath who would endure hardships or even sing praises of suffering. Being busy when it is time to be busy and being able to rest when it is time to rest is the most comfortable state.

With his mind free and thinking, Dong Chuan Che soon finished his last sip of mineral water and prepared to take Xiao Bai home. At this moment, the sound of a little boy and his mother arguing suddenly came from the store, "Mom! Pokémon is about to start, I'll do my homework in the afternoon!"

"No, children should put study first!"

"But it's already a rerun! You promised me last night that you'd watch it this morning!"

"No means no! Who told you not to finish your homework last night? Now go! I will only count to three, 3."

"."

"Really? What on earth are those idiots at the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs thinking? Don't they know that this is the critical final period? They're still broadcasting this kind of cartoon designed for children on TV! I'm going to call and complain later!"

After the shop owner angrily sent her son to the attic to do his homework, she came to his side with a broom and swept the fallen leaves, mumbling along the way. When she noticed Dong Chuan Che's gaze and saw the muscular abdominal muscles faintly visible under his sweatshirt, her heart warmed up again and she quickly bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, the child was disobedient and disturbed you."

“It’s okay”

"You look unfamiliar, little brother. Did you just move here?"

"Uh, sort of. Sorry, I have something else to do. I'll take my leave now."

Seeing that the proprietress wanted to strike up a conversation, although the proprietress, who had a headscarf on her head and a good figure, still had some charm, Dong Chuan Che obviously didn't dare to stay here for too long. After all, the proprietress had just said that she was going to complain about him.

After bidding farewell to the proprietress with some regret, Dongchuan Che took Xiaobai by the hand and trotted towards home, but in his mind he was thinking about the conversation between the mother and son.

"Pokémon".

This animation is naturally his work.

To be honest, more than half a month has passed since the first episode of "Pokemon" was released. Almost not long after the release of "Elden Ring", the animated version of "Pokemon" was released, but unlike "Elden Ring", the animated version of "Pokemon" did not cause any sensation in the market when it was first released.

There is no other reason.

In this era, television has been almost replaced by computers and mobile phones, and computers and mobile phones can provide too many choices, unlike the childhood of the post-8090s, 0203s, and even some of the post-00s born in and .

At that time, when children got home from school every day, they would either go out to play with friends, or their parents would not let them go out and watch TV at home.

In that era, there were only a few channels to watch, either Golden Eagle Cartoon, Animation City, Little Dragon Club, or Star TV. The ones with more variety were the on-demand channels, but most of the time, there were only a few popular programs that were played back and forth on the on-demand channels, and that was the effect of the times.

That era provided children across the country and even the world with the objective conditions to watch cartoons at home. Even many children who did not like watching cartoons sometimes could only watch them on TV at home, and the cartoons they watched were all similar. Therefore, the cartoons of that era were more likely to achieve national popularity.

But things are different nowadays.

In this era, it is much more difficult for Pokémon to succeed than in the past. Fortunately, Toru Fuyukawa has a great influence, the GOGO platform has a lot of traffic now, and Ohara Nanako is indeed very talented in writing plots.

Although Nana is only fifteen years old this year, she is really more talented than hardworking in creation. For example, in her previous life, a certain online writer wrote a phenomenal work like "Thirty Years in the East, Thirty Years in the West" at the age of eighteen, which made billions of dollars.

Although some of the plots written by Nanako Ohara are still childish, she seems to know how to write stories by nature, so even adults will not feel embarrassed when reading these plots. Instead, they will find them quite childlike. The reviews on the GOGO platform are very good.

"Pokemon's current traffic is not huge, but its popularity has been rising slowly and steadily. As for the game, Pokémon will not be available until at least the beginning of next year, which is just the right time for the anime version to gain popularity. However, I don't know if the audience will come after the story of Fate: Heaven's Feel comes out and finds me with knives in hand."

Dongchuan Che thought with his mind empty.

"Pokemon" is a very critical part of his future business empire, but this step is still far away. "FGO" will be released in two months, and the animation of "Fate/Heaven's Grave" will be on the shelves at the end of the month.

Compared to "Pokemon", he is more worried about "Fate/Heaven's Grave".

On the one hand, "Pokemon" has no predecessor, so the audience's expectations are not too high. "Fate/Heaven's Grave" is the third work in the "Fate" series. "Fate/UBW" and "Fate/zero" have already been released, and the reputation is very high. There are also many audiences looking forward to it. However, the story line of "Fate/Heaven's Grave" is Sakura's story line, which is very cruel and dark.

What's more, the original work was a theatrical version, while his was a 25-episode animation.

The plot of the theatrical version is more compact. Even if the audience is hurt five minutes ago, the subsequent plot can dilute it a little after five minutes. In addition, the popularity of the theatrical version is only for a short period of time. However, this seasonal model will keep the player's [anger value] for more than two months.

“Spring is here and the cherry blossoms are blooming.”

"Young boys in this mating season are the scariest. How about going out to take shelter?"

Dongchuan Che couldn't imagine what Sakura Matou's fans would do to him at that time, and he was also worried.

When he returned home, he told the incident to several women in the family, and naturally he was mercilessly ridiculed.

"You always like to write dark and cruel things. Now you are afraid, right?"

Miyano Mitsuba chewed delicious abalone noodles and gave Dongchuan Che a mischievous look. Dongchuan Che smiled speechlessly and said, "Come on, I am also working hard to make money for this family. Really, if you don't give the audience some knives, how can you eat lobster and abalone for every meal at home? You are..."

"Oh my, our little man is still angry. Come, sister, give him a kiss. A kiss will make him feel better."

".It's so annoying!"

After being hugged and kissed by Miyano Mitsuko, and feeling the funny looks of Sayoko and others beside him, Dongchuan Che also moved to Bengbu.

After arguing with Miyano Mitsuha for a while, Fuyukawa Che chatted with Ohara Chika and the others about the relevant situation, and soon the topic turned to Mr. Bao.

The two most important things for Toru Fuyukawa recently are the launch of "Fate/Heaven's Cup", which will be followed by the "FGO" game, and discussing the GOGO platform with Mr. Bao.

This was supposed to be discussed yesterday, but Mr. Bao and his team didn’t expect the scale of “Singer” to be so large, so we didn’t talk about the platform yesterday. Today, I met with Mr. Bao and his team, and we mainly talked about this aspect.
There's not much to talk about.

All aspects of the commission were agreed upon last year and the contract was signed.

Even if Bao suffered a little because he didn't expect Dongchuan Che to be so capable, there is no way to change it now. However, the contract signed at the beginning was for three years. This time Bao probably came to discuss some additional terms such as [Shanhe Group has the priority to match after the contract expires].

That is, after the contract between Shengguang Society and Shanhe Group expires, no matter how much the outside world offers, as long as Shanhe Group offers the same terms as other companies, Shengguang Society will renew the contract unconditionally.

To put it simply, Mr. Bao values ​​Dongchuan Che's abilities more and is also preparing to promote the GOGO platform on a large scale in China, but Mr. Bao does not want to help others in three years.

It is relatively easy to get this kind of additional clause that is fair to both parties. Normally, if Elden Ring had not been so popular this time, and Bao wanted to show his sincerity in continuing the cooperation, he would not have needed to come to Japan in person for this kind of clause. He could have just communicated by phone and signed in person.

Things were pretty much the same as Dongchuan Che had thought.

At nine o'clock in the morning, after finishing their meal, the family went to the company to handle daily business. At around eleven o'clock, they set off again for Ginza to meet Mr. Bao and his party.

At the dinner table, Dongchuan Che first talked with Mr. Bao about the variety show "Singer" and the [Global Music Federation].

There is not much to talk about the variety show "Singer". Whether it is a singer or an artist or a veteran who has made great contributions to a prestigious school, Mr. Bao can invite them all. He just asked Zhang Peng to go back and arrange the schedule for those popular singers.

As they drank and chatted, the two mainly talked about the Global Music Federation.

Although the makeshift team of the International Music Federation has not yet been set up, we still need to discuss the framework first.

For example, FIFA has four independent bodies: the Congress, the Council, the Permanent Secretary, and the Standing Committee and the Special Committee, which check and balance each other. Under the Council, there are the President, 8 Vice Presidents, and other positions. Overall, the leadership team has to people.
Of course, FIFA is clearly a negative example. After all, there are too many scandals involving FIFA.

To be honest, when talking about this topic with Mr. Bao, Dongchuan Che was a little worried. After all, Mr. Bao came from a good family, which was an advantage, but also a trouble.

Personal connections are a matter of reciprocity. For example, the Central Conservatory of Music gave Mr. Bao face by allowing Professor Wang Xueqin to participate in the variety show. In the future, Mr. Bao will definitely return the favor. Once there are too many personal connections involved, it will be very troublesome to arrange various positions.

Fortunately, Mr. Bao is a practical man. He didn't just talk about "I want a few seats" but talked about the specific approach with Dongchuan Che.

Dongchuan Che admired this pragmatic style.

So, the two chatted, from "Singer" to the [International Music Federation], from the [International Music Federation] to the additional terms of the renewal of the GOGO platform, all the way from more than twelve noon to four or five in the afternoon, the two of them left the restaurant in a daze with a group of subordinates.

"By the way, brother Dongchuan, how do you feel about the group of employees I sent to your company to study? Are there any talented people who can be molded?"

At the hotel entrance, Mr. Bao handed Dongchuan Che a cigarette and then took out a lighter.

Dongchuan Che went over to set up the shed and lit it, and said with a smile: "The World of Warcraft project has just started, so it's not obvious yet. But they are all very hardworking, sleeping only four or five hours a day, and basically spending the whole day in the company."

"Haha, of course. How many people in the world have the opportunity to intern at Brother Dongchuan's company? Hey, this time it's all thanks to you, Brother Dongchuan. You don't know that although our company has acquired some overseas game studios, the more powerful ones don't let us get involved at all. As long as we arrange people in key positions, those people will clamor to resign, for fear that our people will take their jobs after they finish their studies."

In the cool breeze of early spring, Mr. Bao, who was drunk, exhaled a puff of smoke. There was anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes, but more of it was frustration and helplessness.

Bao was very dissatisfied with the practices of the European and American studios, but he was not an ordinary person who would shout "choke the neck, choke the neck". After years of business, he understood very well that in any industry, as long as someone got promoted, it would inevitably trip up those who came later.

This is actually the same as the [family secret recipes] of those restaurants and pharmacies, which will not be easily revealed to others. Moreover, if a new restaurant opens nearby, the original restaurant will definitely find ways to suppress it. It's the same principle.

Right or wrong depends entirely on your position.

Therefore, Mr. Bao didn’t really blame those foreigners too much, but was more frustrated by the question “Why can’t we do this?”

As a Chinese gaming practitioner in his previous life, Dongchuan Che understood Mr. Bao’s frustration very well.

He held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the crowded crowd across the street, and said with a smile in authentic Chinese: "It's normal. The world is bustling with people, and everyone is fighting for their own interests. After all, you have to eat, and so do they. Now they are eating the first-mover advantage. If you are not related to me, or even if you teach your apprentice to starve to death, they will naturally not let you take away their rice bowl. I am actually the same, except..."

"kindness?"

Bao Boss raised his eyes. Dong Chuan Che, who was also drunk, opened his arms in the spring breeze, stretched his muscles, and said with a smile: "Is it just that the times create heroes or heroes create the times? I am not willing to be just a big fat pig chosen by the times. I also want to pull a group of friends together to create an era that belongs to Asian culture."

"you"

An era that belongs to Asian culture.

Looking at Dongchuan Che's back with his arms stretched out in the backlight, Mr. Bao's eyes narrowed slightly.

Looking at Dongchuan Che's back, he was stunned, and just when he opened his mouth to say something, Dongchuan Che, who was holding a cigarette, suddenly let out an "ouch", and the cigarette butt fell.

Dongchuan Che took out the end of the cigarette and burned his hand.

Needless to say, Dongchuan Che had just called out when Sayoko, who was behind him, took out her handkerchief and ran over with a face full of reproach, gently wiping his fingers while muttering something. Dongchuan Che, who was so ambitious just now, now looked like an ordinary young man trapped in a gentle place, just teasing Sayoko lustfully.

"Which side of this little brother is he?"

Mr. Bao stayed in Bengbu for a while, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. At this time, Dongchuan Che turned around and said with a smile: "By the way, Mr. Bao, remember to ask your technical department to quickly transfer your materials to the Zeus engine. I will use them later."

To put it simply, the engine is just a material library.

Why was the architectural style of the first expansion pack of Black Myth: Wukong criticized as Japanese style?

Because at that time, there were no Chinese materials in Game Science's own engine, or it could be said that there were only a few game engines in the world that had genuine Chinese materials.

To put it simply, house-building games like Red Alert, StarCraft, or Warcraft are actually very much like a game engine.

When players play the game, they drag out the designed materials, including barracks, altars, moon wells, etc., to form their own country or legion.

If the designer does not give the player the [Barracks] building, then the player either cannot build a barracks, or has to write code and find textures, design a [Barracks] in the game himself, and then put it into his own construction column.

But now, whether it is architectural shape, architectural texture, or even texture, most of them are designed by foreign designers.

Without Chinese materials, there would naturally be no Chinese artistic flavor.

Dongchuan Che's current [Zeus] engine is already filled with a variety of Japanese and dark fantasy style materials, but there are very few Chinese style materials. If you want to make top-level materials in this area, you need not only a large number of programmers, but also top Chinese art talents, and even go to the field to collect materials.

It was too troublesome, and they happened to be cooperating with Shanhe Group, so the clause of [Shared Material Library] was also written into the contract. In the future, even if Dong Chuanche wanted to make a 3A-level "Zhantian", "Douluo" or even the "World of Warcraft" currently under development, he could directly use these top Chinese materials from Shanhe Group!
This is the most authentic restoration. I don’t believe that Chinese players won’t be confused after seeing it!
Dongchuan Che's little trick!
However, it is obvious that although Mr. Bao is a practical man, he is not from the gaming industry after all, and now he needs help from others, so naturally he cannot refuse.

As the Rolls-Royce Phantom came in front of him, Bao let his subordinate open the door and waved his hand with a smile: "I know, I'll go and ask them later. I'll leave first, brother."

"Walk slowly."

After watching Mr. Bao's car disappear around the corner, Dongchuan Che took the windbreaker from Sayoko and put it on, stretched his body and said with a smile: "We will have a short rest for a few days before we get busy again."

The matters of "FATE" and "FGO" are crucial, but they are basically a done deal. After these two projects are completed, he will attack the "World of Warcraft" and "Pokemon" projects!

By then, he will use Mr. Bao's [China Game Material Library] and some maps of these two games, as well as super 3A-level production specifications, to lead global players to experience the artistic beauty of China's -year-old civilization!
