Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 105

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

Panasonic batteries were very strong in the 80s, and they were also synonymous with high quality and low price.Of course, the battery technology in Europe and the United States may be higher, but it may not be sold on the production line.

The advantage of Sharp's stn is that it consumes less power and has the biggest advantage of saving power. It is very suitable for handheld game consoles and BB machines at this stage.However, compared with ftf liquid crystals, stn has lower resolution and lower color reproduction, but ftf liquid crystals have the highest production cost and the highest requirements for polarizers.

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

Rex Eden soon went to Japan on behalf of Wujiang Group to negotiate the purchase of production lines.

At the same time, Nintendo also learned that Wujiang Group is preparing to release game consoles in Japan.

In the office of the president of Nintendo Corporation.

Hiroshi Yamauchi sneered and put down the relevant information of "Qongqi Home Game Console".

"Wujiang Group is overconfident, and dares to enter the home game console! In front of our Nintendo FC, it is like a mantis against the car, and ultimately cannot escape the fate of extinction!"

Hiroshi Yamauchi only saw the introduction of "Qongqi Home Game Console" on paper, although the information mentioned that the performance of "Qongqi Home Game Console" is very powerful, and the game screen exceeds that of FC red and white machines.But Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't take it seriously, because the home game consoles developed by Sega and other companies are more powerful than FC, but the result?
FC is still the only one!
Whether home game consoles are popular or not depends mainly on the games.

In this regard, Wujiang Group is definitely hard to match Nintendo.

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

"Notice, no game developer is allowed to develop games for the "Qongqi Home Game Console"!Otherwise, the game cannot be released on the FC platform! ! ! Hiroshi Yamauchi said to the secretary.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength.

Hiroshi Yamauchi will never tolerate the challenger, and must crush him to death!
Without third-party game developers developing games for it, can "Qingqi Home Game Console" still sell well?
……

The circle of the Japanese game industry is not big, and the news that Wujiang Group is about to release the "Qongqi Home Game Console" has already been spread all over the city.

It's just that everyone is watching a joke.

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

So far, most game manufacturers in Japan have avoided "Qingqi home game consoles".

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

However, how can Wujiang Group value such a game developer?
How the Atari Corporation of America collapsed, Zhao Ye still knows.

Just because Atari only cares about making money and does not pay attention to the quality control of games, a large number of crudely produced games appear on the Atari game console platform, which arouses public outrage, and Atari has been in a slump ever since.

Zhao Ye doesn't expect to be able to attract third-party game developers at all right now.

Wu Gaofeng will come, and flowers and butterflies will come.

If the "Sycamore tree" of "Qongqi home game console" is planted, why not worry about Phoenix not coming?

……

Shanghai Art Film Studio.

At this moment, in addition to producing the "Pokemon" cartoon, the people in the studio have also established three new projects, that is, 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 college students who have just graduated, all college students in this period have real talents.

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

"Shanghai Animation Film Studio has not been as busy as it is now for a long time. There are more and more newcomers in the studio. They are full of vigor and prosperity. It is just around the corner to recast the former glory of the studio!!!" Director Xu Xiangming Excitedly sighed.

Zhao Ye sat by the side and sipped tea slowly. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smiled slightly and said, "Actually, making cartoons is quite profitable, but the Shanghai Art Film Studio didn't find the right direction before. The studio wanted to make money through cartoons. To make money, but this proves that it doesn't work at all, Japanese cartoons are given to our TV stations for free, how can you compete with each other?"

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

"You just don't pay attention to the development and utilization of copyrights. Since its establishment, Shanghai Animation Film Studio has released countless classics. If these cartoons can be used well, why would they lose money year after year?"

Zhao Ye sighed at the end.

However, this also happened to give him the opportunity to enter the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

The factory manager Xu Xiangming smiled wryly. People like himself have short experience, so they didn't think of this at all.

"Pokemon, Dragon Quest, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy must be well-produced and quality-focused. This will be a cash cow for Shanghai Animation Film Studio!"

Shanghai Animation Film Studio is not profitable now, and cartoons are given away for free, so Zhao Ye gave Shanghai Animation Film Studio 30% of the peripheral revenue of these IPs.

Don't underestimate the 30%, the profit is high, and peripheral income is the cash cow!
In the future, when these IPs become popular, Shanghai Animation Film Studio can also produce animated films, which can be shown directly in theaters, making money at the box office, and earning peripheral income at the same time.

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 holds the most powerful animation studio in China, if he doesn't seize the opportunity, it would be unreasonable.

However, the threshold of animation is still relatively high, most people can't do it, and usually need a professional production team.

The reason why the Japanese animation industry is so developed is that the comic industry in their country has developed very well.

Zhao Ye pondered whether to ask Shanghai Animation Film Studio to run a comic magazine. In the future, some popular comics could be adapted by the studio into cartoons or even live-action movies.

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

After Zhao Ye figured it out, he ignored Xu Xiangming's surprise and told him directly, "Director Xu, I plan to let Shanghai Animation Film Studio create a comic magazine called "Youth Weekly". one time."

Xu Xiangming was taken aback when he heard the words, almost unable to keep up with Zhao Ye's thoughts.
