Second game?
“…Chu Jun is really a young man since ancient times. The virtual reality game produced by your company has opened my eyes.
After playing your company's "Legend of Galaxy", I am very excited - perhaps this game is the first dawn that virtual reality games really come to the world.
If we insist on developing on this path, we will one day let the game operate without the keyboard, mouse and controller, let the characters in the game jump out of the screen, sublimate the small game into a virtual world experience, and create an infinite fantasy world for the humans living on this small blue planet!
I guess you named your company 'Fantasy Infinite' because you have the same ideal."
The next night in the winter, in the reception room of Tianwangzhou's home and old house, Ningning translated the humble speech of Sony Computer Entertainment to Chu Fang with an almost simultaneous interpretation level.
Although Ningning's translation completely met the three requirements of "faith, ability, and elegance", which made Miss Sugita Takashi, who also acted as the translator, she always felt a little awkward when she heard it.
"Well... I said... Why do you have the flavor of "News Broadcast" and "People's Daily"? Can't you speak normally?"
"The other party's words are quite solemn and formal. If you want to translate them with artistic conception, of course this is the taste.
Do you think a great president would speak like a child like you?"
"Hey... I'm also a president in terms of status. Although the company is of different sizes, it's equal in terms of status. Otherwise, the other party wouldn't come to negotiate with me in person."
In front of a middle-aged Japanese man in his forties and fifties, Chu Fang and Ningning habitually stumbled. However, the visitors on the other side were all very well-educated and did not show contempt for these two young men who were less than 20 years old - but maybe they just kept this emotion in their hearts.
The guests who came to visit tonight were mainly the president of SCE. The author of "The Legend of Galaxy" Yoshiki Tanaka, as well as the deputy president of Hatsutec, the owner of the game copyright, were supplemented by the vice president of Ascii~media~works Publishing House of Kakugawa Group, and Ms. Sugida Hide and others accompanied them. The specifications can be said to be quite high.
Apart from him and Ningning, Chu Fang only had the landlord of the Heavenly King Zhou Shenwu in plain kimonos. The three of them were 18 years old, one or even two generations lower than the other in terms of seniority, not to mention the experience of shopping malls and social interactions. They were almost completely suppressed by the other party, otherwise Ningning would not have been able to stumbling with Chu Fang on such an important occasion.
If it weren't for the Tianwang Zhou Shenwu setting up a tea table between the two sides and serving Xuanmi tea, fairy beans and oranges, turning the formal meeting into ordinary family routines, so that Chu Fang and Ningning, who could not sit in the right place, could talk to President Sce more casually, now they would definitely be suppressed by each other.
Just imagine, if both sides were sitting in accordance with Japanese etiquette, then the young man must feel like he was being scolded by his parents? What's more, for Chinese people who have been no longer popular to sit down, kneeling and talking to the other party is psychologically a dwarf - even if the other party is also kneeling.
"Ah, cough..."
After venting some tension through tripping, Chu Fang cleared his throat and replied with a gentle smile:
"Thanks to the president's praise, my small company was just built out of interest - it's the same as signing a cosplayer contract.
The same is true for the development of the "Fantasy" game of "Legend of Galaxy", which is entirely out of interest. It is to participate in the "Jihad", but the company has limited staff and the progress is not enough. Therefore, a trial version can only be released on this year's Winter i.
Although there are some copyright issues with this game, I think you are asking Mr. Tanaka to come with me to ask me for a crime, right?"
After Chu Fang finished speaking, he smiled and waited for Miss Sugita Takashi, who was kneeling behind several "big bosses", to translate his words.
The president of Sce also found Yoshiki Tanaka, who was over 60 years old. Although it can be said that it was a "surprise" that Chu Fang might have prepared for close contact with his idol. But he was also showing him his energy in Japan; and Chu Fang's statement was to tell the other party that he only made a fan game out of interest, and he didn't care whether it was copyright or his own small broken company. If he wanted to cooperate, he had to give him satisfactory conditions.
As for a talented programmer who used Chinese programming software to write the voice recognition and AI part of this game... As long as the other party has a little brain, he can guess that he must have been firmly grasped by Chu Fang. He may even not work in Chu Fang's game company at all. If you want to bypass Chu Fang, you will find that person directly... it is impossible in a short period of time.
"Haha... Mr. Tanaka certainly wouldn't mind the copyright issue of fan works.
Before I invited him to Tokyo, I asked him to try your game. Mr. Tanaka was very interested in your game, so he also wanted to meet you and also wanted to discuss the content of the official version of the game with you in detail. Otherwise, I would not be able to force Mr. Tanaka to come here.
And I want to use this to show sincerity and establish a further partnership with you, inviting you to transplant this game to the 'Murphys Project'.
——Of course, it would be better if you were willing to share the core technology of the game with Sony, or even sell all the technology directly to us, but I think you would definitely not do this with the 'family and knowledgeable origin'."
This time, Ningning's translation became much more pleasant, but this way of speaking sounded too young and too casual, which was a bit inconsistent with President Sce's image and temperament. However, Chu Fang just did what he said and did not give Ningning any more advice.
"If you can obtain copyright, it is certainly no problem to support Rpheus.
I also thank Mr. Tanaka for his attention. "The Legend of the Galaxy" is a work that I like very much. If I can do better games under the guidance of Mr. Tanaka, I will certainly be undesirable."
Under President Sce's "candidity", Chu Fang also happily agreed to his platform transplant request, but completely ignored the other party's temptation to share core technology or even sell technology.
Moreover, as a strong side who can wait for others to come to the door, Chu Fang is not able to pass on just a literary work that is classic but not very popular in the game. He then put forward a request that was beyond the expectations of President SCE:
"In fact, the trial version I released on Winter i this time was originally used to attract the attention of major game companies, and the first one to show interest and sincerity was actually a big company like Sony, which was an unexpected surprise.
The reason why I want to attract the attention of major game companies is not to sell the technology I have on hand, but to reach a cooperation with one or even several companies - for my second game."
"The second game?"
The president of Sce leaned forward slightly, as if he was very interested in the second game that Chu Fang mentioned. Whether he was really interested or fake, as long as he could continue to listen to Chu Fang's words.
"Speaking of this, the second game I envisioned has a lot to do with copyright, especially the copyrights of comics and light novels held by various publishing houses under Kakugawa.
In addition, the copyrights of the game held by various game companies, the copyrights of the movie held by Sony Pictures and Entertainment Co., Ltd. and other Hollywood companies are also what I need."
"So many copyrights? Can you explain your plans to me in detail?"
Chu Fang spoke up as soon as he came up, which really scared the president of SCE, the two vice presidents of Bothtec Company and Ascii Publishing House. Even Yoshiki Tanaka, who had always been half-closing, opened her eyes and stared at him with interest.
Yoshiki Tanaka has a deep understanding of ancient Chinese literature, and has written many novels based on Chinese history. He has also compiled historical works such as "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Biography of Yue Fei", "Romance of the Yang Family Generals", and "The Record of Zheng He's Sailing". Moreover, the pro-China tendency expressed in his works is extremely obvious, but this does not mean that he must like all Chinese people.
In fact, he was somewhat unhappy when he was hurriedly pulled over to be a mascot by Sony, a giant. After all, his position in the literary world is extremely high. With Sony's recommendation, Chu Fang brought the game to visit him in person, and let him, a man in his sixties, come over to be a "surprise" for Chu Fang... This is really too expensive.
However, the virtual reality glasses and games brought to Yoshiki Tanaka made him realize why a big company like Sony attaches so much importance to a Chinese young man who has just entered college. He himself used this reason as a step forward and accepted the invitation from Sony company decently and came to Tokyo to meet Chu Fang in person.
But after seeing Chu Fang, he kept squinting his eyes on the ground, as if he was not caring about everything around him. This was because he was resentful, and the second was because Chu Fang was just an ordinary young man with a good appearance and temperament on the surface, and was not a young hero worthy of his "condescending" to come to visit.
——The two girls with him were very good. Even if they just stood by without saying a word, their spirit was different, as eye-catching as fireflies in the night.
But now it seems that maybe the old man, he, was unconsciously wearing tinted glasses when he was looking at this young man because of his emotional reasons? Then let him polish his old eyes and take a look. Is this young man arrogant or hidden? (To be continued...)
