Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

For battery and LCD production lines, Wang Jizhi recommends purchasing Panasonic batteries and Sharp STN LCDs.

Panasonic batteries were very powerful in the 80s and were also synonymous with high quality and low price. Of course, the battery technology in Europe and the United States may be higher, but they may not be able to sell production lines.

The advantage of Sharp's stn is that it consumes less power and has the greatest advantage of power saving. At this stage, it is very suitable for use in handheld game consoles and BB consoles. However, compared with FTF LCD, STN has a lower resolution and lower color reproduction, but FTF LCD has the highest production cost and the highest requirements for polarizers.

At this stage, Wujiang Group still buys the stn LCD production line first, absorbs its technology, and then develops ftf technology.

Rex Aiden soon went to Japan on behalf of Wujiang Group to negotiate the purchase of the production line.

At the same time, Nintendo also learned that Wujiang Group was preparing to release a game console in Japan.

In the office of the president of Nintendo.

Yamauchi Hiroshi sneered and put down the information related to "Qiongqi Home Game Console".

"The Wujiang Group overestimates its capabilities and dares to enter home game consoles! In front of our Nintendo FC, it is like a mantis trying to block the car. In the end, it cannot escape the fate of destruction!"

Pu Yamauchi only saw the information introduction of "Qiongqi Home Game Console" on paper. Although the information mentioned that the performance of "Qiongqi Home Game Console" is very powerful, and the game screen exceeds the FC red and white console. But Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't care, because the performance of home game consoles developed by Sega and other companies are more powerful than FC, but what is the result?

FC is still the dominant family!

Whether home game consoles are popular or not depends mainly on the games.

In this regard, Wujiang Group will definitely have difficulty matching Nintendo.

Not to mention that Nintendo itself has launched a number of games that are popular around the world. The number of third-party games on the FC platform alone is enough to crush the "Qiongqi home game console".

“Please inform me that no game developer is allowed to develop games for Qiongqi Home Game Console! Otherwise, games cannot be released on the FC platform! ! ! "Pu Yamauchi said to his secretary.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

Hiroshi Yamauchi will never tolerate challengers and will crush them to death!

Without third-party game developers to develop games for it, can the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" still sell well?

……

The Japanese gaming industry is not a big one, and the news that Wujiang Group is about to release the "Qiongqi Home Game Console" has already spread all over the city.

It's just that everyone is just watching the joke.

No one is stupid enough to risk offending Nintendo by joining the "Qiongqi home console" camp.

So far, most game manufacturers in Japan have stayed away from the "Qiongqi home game console".

Only those game developers whose games are shoddy and cannot be launched on the FC platform extend an olive branch to the "Qiongqi Home Game Console".

However, how can Wujiang Group like such a game developer?

Zhao Ye still knew how the American company Atari collapsed.

Just because Atari only focused on making money and did not pay attention to game quality control, a large number of shoddy games appeared on the Atari game console platform, which caused public outrage and caused Atari to collapse.

Zhao Ye does not expect to attract third-party game developers from the beginning.

The tall phoenix will surely arrive, and the fragrant flowers and butterflies will come.

"Qiongqi Home Game Console" If this "sycamore tree" is planted, why worry about the phoenix not coming?

……

Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.

At this moment, in addition to producing the "Pokemon" cartoon, the people at the studio have also established three new projects, namely the production of "Dragon Quest", "The Legend of Zelda", and "Final Fantasy" cartoon.

The studio has more than 800 painters. Although many of them are just college students who have just graduated, college students at this period are all talented and learned.

Including "Pokemon", Shanghai Animation Film Studio is already producing four series of cartoons at the same time.

"Shanghai Art Film Studio has not been as busy as it is now for a long time. There are more and more new people in the studio, and they are full of vitality and prosperity. Rebuilding the studio's former glory is just around the corner!!!" Director Xu Xiangming exclaimed excitedly.

Zhao Ye sat aside and sipped tea slowly. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Actually, making animations is quite profitable, but Shanghai Animation Film Studio didn't find the right direction before. The studio wanted to use animations To make money, but this has proven to be unworkable. Japanese cartoons are given to our country’s TV stations for free. How can you compete with each other?”

After a pause, Zhao Ye smiled and said, "But you can make a lot of money by selling toys through cartoons. Although piracy is rampant in China, Shanghai Animation Film Studio can get the first bite of meat. After all, piracy is also It takes time. Then there is the export of cartoons. As the old saying goes, 'If Kou can go, I can go too'. Since Japanese manufacturers give cartoons to our country's TV stations for free and then make money by selling toys, then we can naturally export animations. The film is given to Japanese TV stations for free, and then the toys are also sold to make money!”

"You just don't pay attention to the development and utilization of copyright. Since its establishment, Shanghai Animation Film Studio has released countless classics. If you could make good use of these cartoons, why would you have suffered losses year after year?"

Zhao Ye sighed at the end.

However, this also gave him the opportunity to take over the Shanghai Art Film Studio.

Factory director Xu Xiangming smiled bitterly. People like him were short-sighted and had never thought of this.

"The four animated films "Pokemon," "Dragon Quest," "The Legend of Zelda," and "Final Fantasy" must be produced well and pay attention to quality. They will be a cash cow for Shanghai Animation Film Studio!"

Shanghai Art Film Studio is currently unprofitable and the cartoons are given out for free, so Zhao Ye gave 30% of the peripheral income from these IPs to Shanghai Art Film Studio.

Don’t underestimate this 30%, the profit can be high, the peripheral income is the cash cow!

In the future, if these IPs become popular, Shanghai Art Film Studio can also produce animated films and show them directly in theaters. While making money at the box office, they can also earn peripheral income.

Japan's animation industry accounts for more than 10% of Japan's GDP and is the third pillar of the Japanese economy.

This shows how huge the development potential of the animation industry is!

Zhao Ye now controls the most powerful animation studio in China. It would be unreasonable for him not to seize the opportunity.

However, the threshold for animation is still relatively high and ordinary people cannot do it. It usually requires a professional production team.

The Japanese animation industry is so developed because their country's comic industry is developing very well.

Zhao Ye pondered whether to let Shanghai Art Film Studio run a comic magazine. In the future, the studio could adapt some popular comics into cartoons or even live-action movies.

In order to maximize profits, Shanghai Art Film Studio will have to get involved in live-action movies sooner or later. Marvel Pictures is an example.

After Zhao Ye figured it out, he ignored Xu Xiangming's surprise and directly ordered him, "Director Xu, I plan to ask Shanghai Art Film Studio to create a comic magazine called "Youth Weekly". You should make good preparations." one time."

Xu Xiangming was stunned when he heard this and could hardly keep up with Zhao Ye's thinking.
