Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 253 The Friendship That Hasn't Deteriorated
In mid-March, Hideki Hanyu entered Pengcheng for the second time.

This time, Jiang Shangjinzi did not come again, but the number of staff has become even larger.

Mrs. Tanaka, who hoped her child would become a success, arranged for Yukio Tanaka an auxiliary team of more than ten people, all of whom were the elite backbone of Tanaka Garment.

With the help of this large group of people, Yukio Tanaka is naturally high-spirited and ready to do a big job.

Before entering Pengcheng, he talked a lot about what he wanted to do.

When entering the customs, Tanaka Yukio said a lot of words with confidence, and then saw that Hanyu Hideki did not reply.

Asked curiously, "Why is Hanyu-kun so listless?"

"Maybe it's because I didn't rest last night." Hanyu Hideki replied casually.

"How do I feel that Hanyu-kun was in a bad state before he boarded the plane in Tokyo?" Yukio Tanaka said.

"Is there? Maybe I'm a little busy at work recently."

Of course Hideki Hanyu couldn't tell Yukio Tanaka.

Knowing that he was leaving again, the twin sisters "squeezed" him hard for two days.

Even an iron-clad man can't stand up to two women who are like wolves and tigers.

Today he can still stand without weakness in his legs, but his spirit is a little weak, and he has been diligent in exercising on weekdays.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help thinking, should he take advantage of this time to enter the customs, ask some famous old doctor, help him to have a look, and then make up for it.

Although he is young and strong, no one would think that he is more fierce, right?

"Hanyu-kun is really busy recently. After the New Year, apart from going to Uniqlo for a meeting, I haven't seen Hanyu-kun come out for any activities."

When Yukio Tanaka said this, he felt inexplicably emotional, "Now I want to help us develop industries in China, and I won't see Hanyu-kun for a long time."

"Yes, Yukio-san has worked hard." Hanyu Hideki replied perfunctorily.

The main reason why he didn't respond to Yukio Tanaka's rhetoric was that he was not optimistic about Yukio Tanaka's determination this time.

Just relying on enthusiasm, how long can I abandon the colorful world of Tokyo?

According to his estimation, when he returns to Nihong, if Yukio Tanaka can stay for a month, it will be considered that the other party has made progress.

After entering the customs and entering Pengcheng, everything went smoothly.

First, with Tanaka Yukio, they registered Huaxia Tanaka Garment Factory, and together with a group of leaders, attended the factory's groundbreaking ceremony.

Although the name is Tanaka Clothing, Hanyu Hideki also holds nearly half of the shares.

After he was busy with the garment factory, he also asked about the construction of the surrounding toy field.

Ms. Zhou, who received them, was obviously disappointed when she heard that it was not an electronics factory.

But these days, it is good to have foreign capital willing to invest, and I still talked about some policies for toy factory investment seriously.

Generally speaking, it is similar to the process of investing in a garment factory.

After understanding the situation, Hideki Hanyu planned to return to Tokyo.

The time was too short, and he didn't have time to do anything else.

What's more, after entering Pengcheng, he knew that the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe happened to be going to Yanjing to participate in the performance when he came.

In this important performance, Liu Xiaoli even served as the lead actress.

According to the original historical development, it is naturally impossible for Liu Xiaoli to take this position so quickly.

After all, professional ability is only part of the development of domestic song and dance troupes.

Needless to say, to accumulate qualifications, the position above needs to be vacant.

Other personal connections and leadership support are even more essential.

According to the original historical development, Liu Xiaoli had to be the chief at least until the late 80s.

Naturally, Hideki Hanyu couldn't wait for such a long time.

And relying on his help, it was not difficult for Liu Xiaoli to rise to the position quickly.

During the New Year's Eve, the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe was invited to perform in Neon.

Hideki Hanyu relied on Yunshang Entertainment's network to spread many drafts in the media.

They were all touting how excellent and successful the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe's tour was.

Those who comment publicly are basically in the world of neon singing, dancing and performing arts, and they are all prominent figures.

Neon's side is a commercial society, and these big figures in the singing and dancing showbiz are not supported by the government.

Their troupes, their training classes, and their studios all need food.

It should not be too simple for Yunshang Entertainment to provide some cooperation or sponsorship, so that these people can say something good.

Of course, when talking about the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe, they must find various reasons to pull Liu Xiaoli out to praise alone.

For example, a certain neon song and dance artist watched a performance and finally took a photo with everyone, but the media released it in the end, but it was only a photo with Liu Xiaoli.

However, Hideki Hanyu still feels that it is not enough to rely on people in the literary and art circles.

He simply found a well-connected official from the Neon Culture Hall.

Kida Hiroshi.

The deputy secretary who selected his picture book into the "Children's Oral Health Handbook".

The one I saw at the banquet when I accompanied Keiko Matsuzaka to the celebration banquet.

The other party is no longer a deputy official, but a chief official who is in charge of a part.

After Hideki Hanyu asked the other party to watch the performance, he specially arranged for a reporter to conduct an interview.

Accompanied by the Music Association, Tian Hong also made some face-to-face remarks.

Such as strengthening cultural exchanges...

However, the matching photo is not the photo of Kida Hiroshi when he was interviewed.

It was a photo of Kida Hiroshi shaking hands with actors from the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe.

Coincidentally, the photo again chose the one shaking hands with Liu Xiaoli.

Of course, if these reports only appear in Neon's homeland, the impact on China will be very limited.

He arranged for some media to release the Asian version.

Although sales are bleak and few people pay attention to it, it doesn't matter at all.

All he wanted was to report it.

Then, all the reports from Asia News and Neon’s local area were picked out, and the parts related to Liu Xiaoli were picked out.

After thoughtful translation into Chinese, they were all mailed to the reporter Li Ziliang I met in America.

Although he didn't know how reporter Li Ziliang reported these news.

But just looking at the results, the effect is obviously better than expected.

I like to see other people praise themselves. Looking at home and abroad, no matter which country people are from, they all look the same.

For him, it is too cost-effective to spend a little money to save his woman from struggling for ten years.

The night before returning to Neon, Hanyu Hideki received a call from Yanjing.

The beauty pestered him in the microphone, "I really want to see you right now."

"If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night." Hanyu Hideki said.

"You always lie to me with such words." The beauty murmured over there.

"Because you like being deceived by me." As soon as he said this, Hideki Hanyu did not give the beauty time to refute, and changed his words.

"How was the performance in Yanjing this time?"

"Very good, many media are praising me."

When the beauty said this, she seemed to think of something and hurriedly asked.

"There were a lot of news reports about our tour in Neon, and many of them were my photos. Is it because of you?"

"Of course, I arranged the news. I found the people who were interviewed. In the end, I arranged for people to send the news to Reporter Li."

Hanyu Hideki admitted without any concealment.

The money is spent, the matter is done, and of course the love of the beauty must be accepted, otherwise, what are you doing so hard.

Hiding behind the scenes, that's not his style.

"Why did you do this?" The beauty was moved, but she still couldn't help asking.

"Of course it is to make you the chief."

Hideki Hanyu's answer made the beauty groan.

"Then you don't tell me in advance. Reporter Li is from the Xinhua News Agency. He arranged for that daily newspaper, which ended up on TV. As soon as the news came out, the troupe leader found me."

"How do you feel?" Hideki Hanyu asked playfully.

"I didn't have me at all in this Yanjing show, but I became the chief. You tell me how you feel, and everyone talks about me behind your back."

But in the end, the beauty still said proudly, "But this time, everyone said that I performed very well, and I will definitely win an award."

"My woman, of course she is the most powerful." Hideki Hanyu gave her a compliment.

However, in his opinion, based on all the preparations he had made before, as long as there were no major accidents in this performance, Liu Xiaoli would 100% win the prize.

Of course, in front of women, this kind of thing cannot be exposed.

"Of course I'm great." The beauty on the other end of the phone raised her neck proudly like a swan.

"If you win the award, what are your plans for the future?"

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's question, the beauty's pride immediately disappeared, and her face was full of sadness.

"I was suddenly appointed as the chief of the show this time, and many people in the troupe couldn't get used to it. If I won another award, I'm afraid they would be alienated if they had a good relationship."

As the saying goes, the early rafters rot first.

The beauty also knew her situation at this time.

He sighed, "I don't know what to do, I'm afraid it won't be very comfortable to stay in the regiment in the future."

Although Hideki Hanyu's approach helped her, it was also counterproductive.

Once she wins the prize, her situation in the group will be very embarrassing.

There is no qualification to go up, and it is impossible to come down.

If you can't get up and down, your future development is doomed to be difficult.

"I have a suggestion here, do you want to listen to it?"

Hideki Hanyu said.

"Okay, tell me." The beauty became interested.

In her view, Hideki Hanyu is omnipotent.

"Neon National University of Music, Tokyo University of the Arts, Graduate School of Music, Tokyo University of the Arts, and Keio University.

These four universities have the best dance subjects in neon, ballet, modern dance, jazz dance, folk dance, no matter which type of dance you want to pursue advanced studies.

I will send you a copy later, you can take a closer look and choose the one you like.

I will help you arrange the admission qualifications, and let the school directly send out admission invitations. If all goes well, you will be able to enroll in September.

You can study here for two years, improve your language skills, and then go to Europe or America to study.

After studying abroad, whether you want to return to China for development, or join a famous overseas song and dance troupe, it is all possible. "

At the end, Hideki Hanyu asked, "What do you think of my suggestion?"

After hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, the beauty fell silent.

Suddenly let her leave the familiar place, go to a strange place to study, go to a strange place to develop.

There is always a feeling of unreliability in my heart.

But the unprecedented life in Hanyu Hideki's words made her yearn for it very much.

If she hadn't seen the prosperity, she might be content with the status quo.

Silently developed in the troupe, and then found a man he liked to marry.

Just like those seniors in the troupe.

On the stage, bright and gorgeous.

Leave the stage and live an ordinary life.

But helplessly, because of Hideki Hanyu, she has seen the prosperity, enjoyed a rich life, and heard about an unprecedented life.

Can she still feel at ease?
Liu Xiaoli didn't speak, and Hanyu Hideki didn't force it, after all, this is a choice that determines life.

He just said.

"I will send the information to Pengcheng. When you come back from Yanjing, I will contact you here and send it to you. When the time comes to make a decision, let me know."

"En." The beauty responded softly.

"Then let's stop talking here today, I'm hanging up the phone."

Hanyu Hideki was about to hang up the phone, but the timid voice of the beauty came from the other side.

"Would you be angry if I didn't choose your suggestion?"

Hideki Hanyu said softly, "As long as it is your choice, I will support it."

……

The next day, Hideki Hanyu bid farewell to Yukio Tanaka and left Pengcheng.

Until she hung up the phone yesterday, Liu Xiaoli didn't make a decision.

However, in Hideki Hanyu's view, the fact that the other party did not refuse to let him send the materials proved that he was already moved.

The most important thing is that Hideki Hanyu won't mind if he succeeds or fails.

After all, he didn't intend to deceive the other party.

Instead, they sincerely offered the other party a choice.

After returning to Tokyo, Hideki Hanyu ordered his assistant, Reiko Uemura, to collect information on the four universities he mentioned earlier.

Not only written materials are required, it is best to attach video tapes of the teaching environment.

After sorting it out, it was sent to the Pengcheng Tanaka Clothing Team.

Then Hideki Hanyu specially contacted Yukio Tanaka to ask him to help prepare a video recorder in Pengcheng.

After finishing all this work, Hideki Hanyu went to Spirit Entertainment as soon as possible, concerned about whether the development of "Super Mario Bros." encountered any difficulties.

Hideki Hanyu felt relieved when he heard from executive producer Yukiji Tatsumori that everything was going well.

Then he went to Eri Kitahara to find out about the situation of the nd Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo that had ended.

The office of the "former president" of Elf Entertainment.

Hideki Hanyu asked Eri Kitahara, "How did our game perform at the exhibition?"

Although he was curious about the situation of Nintendo's imaginary enemy.

But as the owner of Fairy Entertainment, the first thing he should care about is his own club.

"The five games we launched are very popular, no...it should be very popular."

While speaking, Eri Kitahara couldn't hide the joy on her face.

"Kitahara-san is so happy, it seems that there should be quite a few dealers placing orders at the exhibition." Hideki Hanyu joked.

"Does Hanyu know what game has the most orders?"

Eri Kitahara asked a question, then looked at Hideki Hanyu, wondering if Hideki Hanyu could guess it.

Hideki Hanyu thought for a while, and a name appeared in his mind, and then he said it directly, "It's tetromino (Tetris)."

Eri Kitahara showed a surprised expression when she heard Hideki Hanyu's answer.

In his opinion, when most people answer this question, shouldn't the first reaction be "Kung Fu 2", or games like hard-core hardcore?
After all, the former is constantly eliminating, which looks boring.

The latter is a scene of various bloody fights and violent breakthroughs.

Although Eri Kitahara didn't answer, Hanyu Hideki knew he was right just by looking at his expression.

"Looks like I guessed right."

"How did Hanyu guess it?" Kitahara Eri asked.

Hideki Hanyu would like to say that in the previous life, among the five games, the sales of the other four games combined did not have as many sales as Tetris.

Of course, the memory of the previous life, there is another reason for his judgment.

"Because tetromino is not only durable, but also can be played against two players, the boss of the arcade hall likes this game the most."

"It makes sense."

Eri Kitahara nodded and continued.

"Tetromino and Dr. Mario were not very popular at the exhibition, but their professional reputation was the best. Editor-in-chief Takita also compiled a separate category for them, called puzzle games."

"How's the response to other games?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Kung Fu 2 is the hottest thing on the scene. From the beginning to the end of the exhibition, the queues in front of several demo machines of Kung Fu 2 have never stopped."

When Eri Kitahara said this, she seemed to think of something funny.

"The players who lined up to play Kung Fu 2 even consciously formed a rule, that is, the winner of the duel can keep playing, and those who lose the duel have to queue up again. In a few days, we just changed the accessories several times."

"Takashi Nishiyama did a great job," said Hanyu Hideki.

He tried "Kung Fu 2".

In this sequel, Takashi Nishiyama led the sacred studio team and applied a large number of mature fighting mechanisms of later generations, which is extremely playable.

It is not surprising that it is popular with players.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Kitahara-san, I have an idea, what do you think if we create a game event around Kung Fu 2, Tetromino and Doctor Mario?"

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's thoughts, Eri Kitahara couldn't understand.

"Game competition?"

In this day and age, the concept of e-sports has not yet been formed.

Hideki Hanyu didn't mind at all, and came up with this idea in advance.

Not to mention, many game companies in later generations rely on e-sports, which greatly increases the stickiness of players.

Let's just say that in the next few years, Nintendo will rely on the mechanism of uploading points and rankings from the disk drive, so that many players will be addicted to Nintendo's games all day long in order to score a little high and get a high ranking.

An open game event, coupled with monetary and honorary rewards, can't it compare to Nintendo's point ranking full of loopholes.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu patiently explained to Eri Kitahara.

"You can understand it this way. The three games we have that can be played against each other are equivalent to three competitive sports. As the organizer, we hold an open competition, and the winners will be given bonuses and medals and other honors. "

"Hayu-san intends to use this competition system to expand the influence of our game." Eri Kitahara said.

"It can be understood that the public competition is just a process, and the promotion of our game is the purpose. What does Kitahara-san think?"

"What about the scope, how big is the scope of this competition, and how will the competition be conducted?" Eri Kitahara asked.

"For the first time, the scope is temporarily limited to the neon bar, and we can rely on the spirit shows from all over the world.

The regional competition will be held first, and then the finals will be held in Tokyo.

As for the specific competition system, Kitahara-san will arrange for someone to formulate it. The premise is that it should be simple and not make it too complicated. "

Hanyu Hideki said briefly.

"I understand. When the competition system is established, I will let Hanyu-san pass the goal first."

After the two of them finished talking about the game competition that was suddenly proposed, the topic returned to the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo.

"Actually, the duck shooting light gun game is also very popular at the exhibition, but most of the people who experience this game are women and children.

Although the order quantity of the light gun arcade machine is not the highest, but because the peripheral arcade machine must be purchased as a whole, the profit is the best. "

Speaking of profits, Eri Kitahara couldn't help but smile.

"Kitahara-san has never mentioned hard-blooded hardcore. It seems that the order quantity of this game is very average." Hideki Hanyu said.

"It's a bit low. There are too many violent elements in this game. Those who like it like it very much, but those who don't like it are not interested at all."

Eri Kitahara explained.

Hideki Hanyu said indifferently, "It's okay, we can't expect a game to be liked by everyone."

The blood game series in the previous life is a very special existence.

It's not as good as those big hit games, but with a huge sequel series, it's making a lot of money.

The scalability is extremely strong, except for the fighting and breaking through the "Hot Blood Story" series extended by the hot-blooded hardcore.

Any other element can be stuffed inward.Basketball, football, wrestling, hockey...

Speaking of "Hot-Blooded Hardcore", Eri Kitahara mentioned another thing.

"After the exhibition, people from Nintendo came to us, and they hoped to transplant the hot-blooded hardcore to the FC console."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he showed an interesting smile.

"Is it just the hard-blooded hardcore? I think they want to use the hot-blooded hardcore as a test. As long as we agree to one game, the subsequent porting of other games will be a matter of course."

"I think so too. Nintendo also launched a new game at this exhibition, similar to the Donkey Kong model, which did not attract much attention."

Hanyu Hideki was relieved when he heard that Nintendo's new game did not attract attention.

Then I asked Eri Kitahara, "How did Kitahara-san reply to Nintendo."

"I said that Fairy Entertainment does not accept Nintendo's royalty system, and wants to independently produce and sell cassettes. It does not accept Nintendo's game review, and does not share the copyright of cassettes. Then we will not talk about convenience."

Eri Kitahara made a helpless expression.

Hideki Hanyu laughed, "Nintendo will definitely not agree to such a condition."

Today's Nintendo is only planning to rely on royalties to control the quality of games.

But as the sales of FC consoles are getting better and better, Nintendo soon discovered that the royalties can make money faster than the production of cassettes.

Later, when a group of third parties requested to relax the conditions, Nintendo refused to let go, not for the quality of the game, but simply for money.

After all, the quality control of FC console games is good, but it is completely nonsense to say that there is no garbage.

"I didn't want to cooperate in the first place, so of course I don't need to be polite."

Eri Kitahara looked at Hideki Hanyu at this moment.

"Satoshi Iwata has news that a prototype of the GAME BOY handheld will be produced next month. When is Hanyu-san planning to leave for America?"

Hearing this news, Hideki Hanyu's eyes showed excitement, and then he sighed again.

"It has been a year from the design of the body to the official development. It is really not easy."

Then he asked, "How is the handheld and cassette production going?"

"The cassette production is going smoothly, and after the sales of Tamagotchi slow down, our production capacity can fully meet the production demand.

There are also several cooperative foundries that have also placed orders in advance. "

I heard from Eri Kitahara that sales of Tamagotchi have slowed down.

Hanyu Hideki felt emotional.

Since its launch, the total shipments of various versions of Tamagotchi in the world have exceeded 3000 to million units.

Neon alone contributed more than 800 million units in sales.

In the next few years, it should be no problem for Neon sales to exceed 2000 million units.

But because of his own plans and the desire to seize the electronic pet market for boys, he launched the second-generation Poké Ball series in a short time.

Under the impact of Poké Ball and other competing products, the sales volume of more than 2000 million should be the limit of Tamagotchi in Neon.

It is certainly impossible to sell 4000 million units in two years like in the previous life.

But for something more important, Hideki Hanyu didn't regret it.

After learning about the production, Hideki Hanyu asked about something else.

"How is the game porting going? Regarding the launch of the game, since Kitahara-san has contacted Satoru Iwata, do you have any thoughts?"

"The game porting is progressing very smoothly. Except for the joint development team, Magic Studio is the second development team led by Tajiri Satoshi, and Sacred Studio is the third development team led by Okamoto Yoshiki. The three major studios have not carried out any new game development. development, and are working on porting the game with all their strength.”

Eri Kitahara paused for a while when she said this, as if she was thinking.

Then said slowly.

"After the handheld was launched, Pokémon Red and Green, which were released as the third-generation electronic pets, must be sold as bundled games.

But we all know that what we sell is not the third generation of electronic pets.

In order for consumers to realize that they are actually buying a handheld game console, we also need to bundle a game.

And this game must be able to reflect the characteristics and advantages of the GAME BOY handheld. "

Eri Kitahara looked puzzled, as if she didn't know which game to choose.

Hideki Hanyu asked directly, "Which games have been ported now?"

"The first generation of kung fu, tetromino, Mario Brothers." Eri Kitahara replied.

"Are there only three games?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Even if other games can catch up, is Hanyu-san going to release them all at once?"

Eri Kitahara asked back.

There will be no third-party developers entering the GAME BOY handheld for a short time.

If you develop too many self-developed games at once, you will only beat yourself up and waste the market potential in vain.

"In this case, choose tetromino, this exhibition has proved that this is a very durable game.

And it can also play online battles, just to take advantage of the GAME BOY's ability to play online. "

In the previous life, it was Tetris that brought the GAME BOY handheld to its peak.

Successful experience, of course, needs to be continued.

As for what Eri Kitahara said, you can't release too many games in one go.

The initial market for GAME BOY handhelds was mainly in America.

How to arrange the order of the game's release, it is best to wait until he arrives in America and discuss with the branch staff before deciding.

"Hayu-san hasn't said yet when he plans to leave for America, I plan to go and see, and I need to prepare in advance.

There is also Tetsuya Aragaki, who is going to test the operation of the lock chip. "

Regarding Eri Kitahara's question, Hideki Hanyu thought for a while and said.

"I don't care about this matter. My new book is going to be released in early April, and the Xiaoxiaoguan is planning to arrange a signing tour. The time has not been set yet. Kitahara-san should urge Xiaoxiaoguan first."

"Signing tour? Hanyu-san is really fond of book fans, but we are short on time, and this signing cannot take too long."

"I'll leave it to Kitahara-san to make arrangements. Don't forget, Kitahara-san, your current official status is the president of Yunshang Culture."

Hanyu Hideki took the opportunity to joke.

In the last discriminatory treatment incident, Eri Kitahara offered to resign voluntarily in order to achieve better results.

As a result, until now, the position of the president of Spirit Entertainment is still vacant.

"Of course I won't forget, Chairman Hanyu~"

Eri Kitahara also refused to admit defeat and replied.

That will make the adult's ending protracted, not to mention how teasing it is.

After Kitahara Eri's voice fell, the two involuntarily looked at each other, and then laughed together.

Hideki Hanyu recalled the days when they bickered when they were running promotions together when he debuted as a writer.

In a blink of an eye, it was more than three years.

It now appears that the friendship between the two has not deteriorated at least because of time and identity.

　Thanks for the reward of Slow Travel Books.
