Chapter 173 Two steamed buns stomp on each other and neither one is a good cake.
Moritani is the existence of one person and more than ten thousand people in the company, the core of the core.
Kageshi Kamikoshi would not break up with Yamamoto Tsuna.
After all, as a pure businessman, Joetsu knew very well that he could not protect the calf at this time. He could only adopt a gentle and appeasing policy towards the managing director.
After half an hour of confidential talks.
With Joetsu’s repeated insistence, Moritani could not twist his thigh with his arm.
So!
A week later!
Yuki sat in the tea bar downstairs of the company, staring at the white peach oolong tea in front of him in a daze.
…We’re going to develop Silent Hill ourselves.
Yuki was a little confused and a little hesitant.
As the main artist who personally participated in the production of the game, Yuki knew that the draft plan produced by Yamamoto Tsuna simply could not capture the exquisite concept and world view of Silent Hill.
Because once, when Director Gu and several of his supervisors went out for dinner, he revealed a little bit about the concept of the main game of Silent Hill.
According to the director, the Silent Hill IP has great potential.
The settings of the table world and the inner world can be interpreted in two ways.
The first explanation is the literal meaning, which are two parallel time and spaces.
The second explanation is the material world and the spiritual world.
The spiritual world relies on the physical world for its existence, and the comfort and salvation that cannot be obtained in the material world will be projected into the spiritual world.
These are two parallel world lines that influence each other.
“In this main work, I hope to reflect the theme of ‘redemption’, first setting the tone of Silent Hill, and then slowly completing its worldview.”
“Where did it come from, why did it form, where will it go, and how many people hide their deepest secrets here?”
"Of course, the premise is that Comella can recognize my idea and is willing to continue this series..."
Yuki still remembers Gu Sheng’s speech at a dinner party.
Even though the clouds and mountains are shrouded in fog, Yuki can feel it.
Under the guidance of Director Gu, Silent Hill will become one of the most classic IPs in the history of horror games with its unique world view and themes.
They will make history.
And now.
Kagemasa Uegoshi and Tsuna Yamamoto obliterated this piece of history that should have been created.
They replaced Gu Sheng's great idea with an extremely mediocre project, hoping to take advantage of the popularity of PT to harvest leeks with a sickle.
“This is really…”
Yuki smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Why, are you still hesitating?”
Beside him, Sato took a sip of green tea and took a breath of hot air.
good.
The people who came to the tea bar to drink tea together were not only Yuki, but also Sato.
The "still hesitating" in Sato's mouth naturally refers to the [Confidentiality Agreement for the Development of the "Silent Hill" Project] that is about to be signed.
good!
It’s not too late!
Just within a week after the Dongjin Video Game Festival!
With the support of Joeshi Keimasa, Yamamoto Tsuna completed all the preparatory work for the development of the main game of "Silent Hill" at lightning speed!
Today, he will determine the final team candidates, sign a confidentiality agreement, and start development work!
Without delay!
"I just feel that things happened too fast... In just one week, from the confirmation of kicking out the Golden Wind to the lightning project establishment, it was like a dream,"
As he spoke, Yuki sighed:
“And during this period, the company was not allowed to reveal any information to Golden Wind, which made me feel like..."
“Like a thief,”
“Like a thief who steals the fruits of other people’s labor.”
Hear the words.
Sato chuckled: "Don't feel it, we are just thieves."
ˆˆYuki：…
"Senior, you are really..." Yuki made a dumbfounded expression: "Quite straightforward."
“What’s wrong?”
Sato did not shy away from this:
“In fact, we just stole the popularity of Silent Hill PT,”
"It's just that we didn't steal the fruit directly, but stole the saplings planted by Director Gu. Although our behavior is understandable from a legal perspective, from a moral perspective, we are thieves...thieves who steal saplings."
“But I still can’t understand the company’s decision,”
Sato’s blunt statement made Yuki smile helplessly:
“Silent Hill obviously has such great potential, and even under the direct control of Director Gu, it is likely to become a benchmark in the horror game industry. And in the long run, turning it into a series will be more profitable, isn’t it?”
Hearing this, Sato nodded.
“Yes, for a game company and its president, this is the case,”
But then, the topic changed again:
“But we are not a game company, and our president is not the president of a game company.”
Sato said:
“He doesn’t care about the content of the game, nor the connotation of the game. In his view, the game is a commodity, and the producer is an employee on the assembly line. The commodity never belongs to the employees, but belongs to KOMINA and is part of the company’s assets.”
“Business allocation, employee transfer,”
“This is perfectly normal for President Joetsu,”
“Besides…”
paused.
Sato took another sip of tea:
“President Joetsu is 58 this year. According to company regulations, he will take a back seat in two years.”
Say it.
Sato looked at Yuki, grinning helplessly.
Muneki Sato deserves to be called ‘Smart Sato’.
Over the years, he has seen how many producers KOMINA has actively or passively driven away, and how many projects it has cut off.
Let’s not talk about other projects, let’s just talk about Silent Hill.
If Kamikoshi is a person who pays attention to game quality, respects game producers, and values the game production team.
Could it be possible that the IP of Silent Hill has been buried in dust for so many years?
Maybe the original TeamSilent will be forced to disband?
Perhaps it will become a world-class horror game IP long ago!
so.
Although Sato is sorry for the current situation, he is not surprised.
He has already seen through KOMINA and its president, Keimasa Kamigoshi.
but!
Whether it is the businessman style of Joetsu Keimasa or the profit-seeking corporate culture of KOMINA.
Although Sato was clear in his heart, he never expressed anything.
He is just the chief architect of the game development team, a registered employee of KOMINA.
Whether the project is axed or not, and whether the producer leaves, what does it have to do with him?
He is just a laborer.
He doesn't care whether the company's business strategy is good or not, as long as he pays wages.
"well-"
After listening to Sato’s words, Yuki sighed longly:
“So, smart Sato-senpai?”
“The confidentiality agreement will be signed soon. You and I will secretly join the development of Silent Hill, and Golden Wind will be kept in the dark. We..."
Speaking of this.
Yuki stopped.
She knows very well that the company's current method of dealing with Golden Wind is in one word - procrastination.
While dragging Golden Wind and not signing a cooperation agreement with it, they secretly tricked Chen Cang into developing the main game of Silent Hill.
That’s it!
It can both prolong the discussion of Silent Hill and the enthusiasm of players! You can also beware of the Golden Wind and pull out all the stops, renaming the Silent Hill project that you originally prepared!
ˆ Yuki is very confused.
Although the time I spent with Director Gu was not long, only less than two months.
However, Gu Sheng’s personality charm and enthusiasm for games are both impressive.
More importantly!
Golden Wind is a wonderful company!
On the one hand, it’s the game director whom I admire and my good friend!
On the other hand, there are major international companies, companies that I only entered with great difficulty!
You can’t have your cake and eat it too, so which one should you choose?
It seems as if he has seen through Yuki’s mind!
I heard Sato on the other side say:
“Yuki, as a senior, I would like to advise you,”
“Whether it is the hidden rules of private meetings or the effectiveness of confidentiality agreements, you cannot challenge it,”
“If you want to continue working in KOMINA, don’t think about doing both,”
"unless…"
Speaking of this.
Sato paused:
“Unless you don’t want to be in the neon game circle anymore.”
Sato’s words stunned Yuki.
Follow up!
Suddenly!
A lightning flashed in Yuki's mind, as if he had grasped the key!
"also?"
Yuki looked at Sato in surprise.
Sato, on the other hand, smiled calmly.
He did not answer directly, but said casually:
“My father passed away five years ago, and my mother is far away in Britain, and I am a non-marriage person, so…”
Sato shrugged, looking like a bachelor who had eaten enough for himself and the whole family was not hungry.
Yuki was stunned for five seconds!
Then Shi Shiran smiled and said, "In that case, let's just sit there for a while. I have a phone call to make."
please
Sato stretched out his hand to indicate that he was not in a hurry:
“But I don’t think the phone call would have shaken him that much.”
Hearing this, Yuki raised his eyebrows curiously: "Why?"
Sato smiled:
"Although he is a young up-and-comer, he is definitely not a young up-and-comer."
Although what Sato said was like a riddle, Yuki could understand it and frowned with some suspicion: "Are you sure?"
Sato raised the teacup in his hand and said, "If I'm wrong, I'll buy you the tea today."
Yuki raised his eyebrows and stretched out his fist.
Sato also extended his fist and touched Yuki lightly.
Du—Du—Du—
Click.
The call is connected.
On the other end of the phone, a sweet and lively girl's voice came: "Hey Yuki, I was just about to call you!"
It is none other than Shen Miaomiao!
Since the two of them got back in touch, they often chat for a while when they have free time.
Yuki thought Miaomiao was going to talk to her on the phone, so she interrupted her with a slight cough:
“Miaomiao, that’s it. I’m calling today because I have something important to talk to you and Director Gu.”
Hear the words.
Shen Miaomiao on the other end of the phone was stunned.
Then he chuckled:
"You may not believe it, but the reason why I wanted to call you was because of Lao Gu's instruction."
Say it!
Just listening to the other end of the phone, a clear and gentle voice sounded:
"Saxi is not good for Yuki, I am looking for you."
“Ah…um…uh?”
ˆ Yuki is a little confused:
"Hello, Director...How about...you say it first?"
“It’s okay, you go ahead and say it,”
Gu Sheng chuckled:
“The end result is the same anyway.”
“Ah…ah…”
Yuki blinked, looked around the deserted tea bar, licked his lips, and said cautiously:
“The specific situation may be a little complicated. I’ll explain it later. Let’s talk about the key points first—”
“The main game of Silent Hill…Comora is ready to be developed independently.”
A moment of silence.
Hearing Gu Sheng's voice on the other end of the phone, it was calm and without any ripples. He even wanted to laugh: "That's it?"
What the hell? !
Yuki was shocked!
No, no, no?
Wait a moment?
Isn’t that how the script is written? !
Why is Director Gu so calm? !
It stands to reason that after hearing such big news, he should not be shocked and incredulous at first, and then, after he explained the specific situation, he would feel ashamed and angry, angrily accuse KOMINA, and even curse, and finally thank himself for the information he provided. ', show the thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and say that you will definitely take revenge? !
Brother, you...did you get the wrong script?
Where are you shocked? Where is your anger? Where's your swearing?
Why are you acting like someone who has nothing to do? !
Yuki looked at his phone and then at Sato, who was doing everything as expected:
“So…so Director Gu, you…”
…
“I’ve known it for a long time.”
at the same time.
Huaguo Binjiang, Golden Wind President Office.
Gu Sheng's voice sounded.
good!
As early as a week ago, when the Dongjin Game Festival concluded, Gu Sheng realized that something was wrong.
Because as early as the beginning of this month, before the video game festival was held, Golden Wind had already sent the cooperation agreement to Comella after review and confirmation by Shen Capital’s Legal Department.
At first, Comella was very positive, saying that it would immediately start the approval procedures, promote the signing procedures as soon as possible, and strive for early cooperation.
but!
Just after the opening of the video game show!
Something is wrong.
Originally, according to the plan of both parties, Comella should have completed the signing of the contract on the second day of the opening of the video game festival and sent it to Golden Wind.
Golden Wind needs to formally reach a cooperation agreement with Comella within three days, that is, on the closing day of the video game festival.
Because of this, the two parties can jointly announce the start of development of the "Silent Hill" game at the end of the video game festival, triggering a wave of discussion.
However!
Due to various reasons, the signing of the contract with Comela has been delayed.
Today it’s due to domestic policy, tomorrow it’s legal advice, and the day after tomorrow it’s the revision of formalities and rules…
So.
Hence the Dongjin Game Festival ends!
Gu Sheng approached Xiao Nezha and told her that the Silent Hill cooperation project would most likely be lost.
gone? !
The moment she heard Lao Gu’s judgment, Shen Miaomiao was shocked!
Why is it gone?
Now it seems that Silent Hill PT is at its peak, isn't it, and the response from players is quite high?
Gu Sheng smiled and said that it was precisely because it was so popular that Comerari was so excited that he was ready to kick them out and develop it himself.
After all, judging from this popularity, their 30% investment in Golden Wind can generate very considerable returns.
As expected!
After judging that there is something fishy about Comella.
Gu Sheng also sighed helplessly in his heart!
A dog cannot change its habit of eating shit.
My original hunch turned out to be exactly right!
KONAMI is KOMINA!
KOMINA is KONAMI!
Two steamed buns can’t get a good cake even if they step on each other!
Thanks to my superior skills!
He still has some backup plans...
