Chapter 336: The Next Stop: Louisiana Branch of Giant Mountain Mental Hospital
Use your connections and influence to gain a beachhead in Japan first!
Then join forces with Xun Teng to launch a negative attack on them!
After that, it joined hands with Tencel Bulls and used the global influence of its extreme sports events to quickly seize a key share of the global gaming market!
At the same time, work hand in hand with Yiyou to gain a firm foothold and consolidate your position!
On the one hand, they took the initiative to negotiate cooperation with major publicity and distribution share holders, and on the other hand, they used sky-high liquidated damages to cut off their retreat!
By the time they came to their senses, in just half a week, the Golden Wind's promotional banners had already spread across neighboring countries and key market share locations!
The current situation of Konami is...
People live without spending money.
Yes, you have a huge budget of $350 million.
But I would like to ask, are you going to pay the 350 million dollars to Ginza in your country, or to Empress of Siam Department Store, or to other promotional sites?
I can’t afford to compensate anyone!
After a series of punches, Nakamura didn't say a word.
Because he fainted.
After all the planning, Toru Moritani was still lost.
It makes people beat their chests and stamp their feet in grief!
You must know!
Nakamura is not like Yamamoto Koizumi!
Even Gu Sheng secretly praised him, he really has some real skills!
Although it is taking advantage of Gu Sheng's popularity, there is no doubt that "Silent Hill 2: Reboot" is now quite remarkable in the eyes of many media!
The most important thing is that this person not only has unique insights into the game, but is also not blindly arrogant and knows when to advance and when to retreat.
Nakamura knew.
If General Manager Moritani was still here at this time!
Then he will definitely follow the lead of Managing Director Moritani!
I can make games and you can do promotion and marketing. If we join forces, we can at least compete with Golden Wind and share the throne of the horror game king of the year, even if we can't kill it completely!
But what about now? !
Nakamura, who was sitting in the president's office, reported the promotion and marketing situation to Shangyue Jingzheng with a heavy face, and he was crying out in pain in his heart!
Gone! Gone !
Managing Director Moritani ran away!
And not only did he run away, he also joined the Golden Wind!
Moriya + Gu Sheng!
This is a disaster for Konami!
When these two were rivals, they were both existences that made each other fearful and worried. Any one of them is one of the top game operators in the world!
Now they have combined their two swords!
Come on, my dear President Joetsu, tell me, how the hell am I supposed to fight this battle?!
Nakamura looked at Yue Jingzheng and was speechless for several seconds!
I don’t know what to say!
At this moment, Kamijou Jingzheng on the opposite side opened his mouth several times, but no one knew what to say!
Regret filled Jyoukoshi Keima's heart.
It was not until now that he suddenly realized that Toru Moriya's previous help to Golden Wind might really be just out of personal feelings, and not the so-called "betrayal"!
Because, if Toru Moritani had really betrayed at that time, the fate of "Tori" would probably be a hundred times more miserable!
After all, Toru Moriya is now completely working for Gu Sheng, and without having any knowledge of the inside story of "Silent Hill 2" and its publicity and promotion plans, he still beat them half to death.
What if Moritani really betrayed us at that time?
I’m afraid that for Konami, it will not just be a simple loss of a “Tori-i” project and one of the Big Three studios!
With the cooperation from both inside and outside, Moritani even has the opportunity to completely cripple Konami!
once Upon a time!
They, Konami, are very proud of themselves and dominate Asia and even the Eastern Hemisphere.
The original collaboration with Golden Wind was a huge sensation, and the reputation of Silent Hill PT resounded around the world, shocked the world, and frightened the world.
However, a misstep can lead to eternal regret.
Driven by slander, he was blinded by greed and occupied Silent Hill, and became enemies with Golden Wind.
This is a mistake.
In the battle again in Tokyo, the stubbornness and groundless suspicion forced the general manager to leave, Torii was defeated and Sekiro took the lead.
This is the second mistake.
The Third World War returned to horror, but this time, even though Konami still corrected the backwardness of the project and launched the best horror game of the company in the past twenty years, it was powerless to turn the tide and was hit by the Golden Wind one after another without any chance of fighting back.
This means “once, twice, but not three times”.
Once upon a time, they were proud of their control over the market, ignoring the quality of works, and were arrogant and conceited.
But now, when they look back and finally focus on the gameplay, their opponents have already mastered the art of fighting both sides, with both marketing works at the same time, and are ahead of them by a full major version.
How to fight this battle?
Keizo Joetsu was desperate.
He despaired of Golden Wind's tenacity, despaired of Gu Sheng's talent and resourcefulness, and even more despaired that his mainstay had now become the wings of the man-eating tiger on the opposite side.
Everything goes around in circles.
Looking at the golden flags all over the mountains, Shang Yue Jingzheng understood.
From this moment on, offense and defense changed.
It’s not that Golden Wind doesn’t know how to fight a publicity war, it’s just that they were not fully developed before and could only rely on their works to speak for themselves.
And when they have the strength and capital to launch a publicity war.
With more power than ever before, they will only become even crazier!
In the blink of an eye!
The game release date is coming!
In just one month.
From the initial confrontation at the E3 exhibition to the current silence.
Silent Hill 2 fell silently, just like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, without causing any ripples.
Under Golden Wind's serious and fierce publicity and promotion offensive, Konami's counter-blockade was so thorough.
So much so that by the middle and late stages, under Moritani's command, Xun Teng's malicious attacks and smears were stopped.
After all, at this point, Silent Hill 2 is already struggling to survive.
There is no need to waste resources on negative publicity for them.
Moritani's tactics were truly ruthless.
As Nakamura said -
When two top traders who are wary of each other join forces, a disaster will await Konami.
A disaster that sank silently.
…
【Go tell aunt rhody——】
【That everybody's——everybody's——】
【DEAD! 】
Rustle——
[Resident Evil VII: No Hero]
【Golden Wind】
【Steel Chain Finger Studio】
【Presented to you】
With an opening that has the same texture as the movie opening!
The voice of the host A Yin also sounded:
"Mao Ning Mao Ning! Good evening everyone, it's 8pm Zhongjing time, I'm here to bring you the latest release of Resident Evil 7..."
At this moment, looking around, you can see that the entire game area of the Shark Live platform is filled with the opening part of Resident Evil 7!
After all, it has been four years since the last generation of Resident Evil!
A reboot four years later!
Authorized by Shinji Mishang!
Golden Wind's meticulous creation!
Unparalleled demo experience!
Everything here makes the players’ expectations peak.
'Are you ready, Boss?'
'You should ask Yiyi if she is ready?'
'Yiyi has to work, Xiaoyinzi, please don't make trouble'
'Shark says father is ready'
'What the fuck is a shark calling me father, hahahahahahahaha...'
"……"
As the audience laughed and cheered, Yin also opened the game.
The first thing that pops up is the difficulty selection.
"Easy, Normal, Madhouse, three difficulty levels."
Ah Yin looked at it, hesitated for a moment, and asked the audience for their opinions:
"Which difficulty level should we choose?"
Before he finished speaking, a barrage of comments passed by.
[Boss, this question is a bit redundant.]
That’s it!
The screen is filled with "Madhouse Difficulty" sweeping in!
Are you kidding me! How can you let me play this movie at a low difficulty level?
The viewers are eager to see the host collapse!
Seeing that the fans all chose the Madhouse difficulty, Yin nodded:
"Okay, the highest difficulty, right? Then let's challenge it today! Come on!"
That’s it!
The [Easy Difficulty] button in the UI flashed by in an instant, and the game started!
Buzz——!!!
The audience burst into laughter:
'What a quick choice!'
"You thought if you hurry up we wouldn't see the easy difficulty, right?"
'《Yinzi Difficulty》'
'You are the brother who did this'
"You bastard chose easy!"
"It's damn fast. I must have practiced other games so many times to get this speed..."
'Highest difficulty (referring to the highest difficulty at the top)'
"Oh - so this is the highest difficulty - (Pockmarked face)"
"Hahahahahahaha I'm dying of laughter..."
"……"
The audience had already gotten used to this and teased A Yin.
Ah Yin cleared his throat awkwardly:
"What the hell? I chose the highest difficulty!"
"Really? I made the choice too quickly. I didn't hesitate. You didn't see it clearly..."
"Hey? Which bastard said to slow down the screen recording? Are you human?"
However!
While Ayin was still chatting and laughing with his friends.
Suddenly!
A face suddenly appeared in front of A Yin without any warning, frightening him:
【Hi! Ethan! Honey! 】
"Hey, fuck your brother..."
Then a woman with a delicate, pretty and beautiful face appeared on the screen and greeted me with a smile.
This is the heroine of this work, and also the wife of the protagonist Ethan - Mia.
Although she has the same name as Shen Miaomiao, the chairman of Golden Wind, her appearance is not as sweet and cute as Shen Miaomiao. Instead, she looks friendly with a hint of sophistication and is quite charming.
【I just want to tell you that I miss you and love you very much,】
[Oh, by the way! I have good news for you! I'm going home! Yeah——]
As she spoke, Mia clapped happily like a little child.
Then, Mia smiled and sat down, and said to the camera with a warm and intimate look:
[I really want to quit this babysitting job as soon as possible and come back to you. I really miss you.]
[Oh well , I have to get back to work, I love you Ethan I want to kiss you a million times, goodbye, love you! ]
With that, the short film ended.
See here.
A Yin's mind, which was frightened by the thunder at the opening at the beginning, gradually calmed down.
Nodded:
"Oh - so this is my wife. Her modeling is really good and looks good."
Upon hearing this, the comments were full of ridicule:
'@Nana'
"Brother, have I made you unhappy in any way?"
"Hahahahaha, with Lee Sunmi in front and Mia behind, Nana is being attacked from both sides."
"I've recorded the screen! When I get back to Aitnana, I must show my sister-in-law the ugly face of the boss!"
'If he dares to call someone his wife today, he will dare to call someone his husband tomorrow!'
'?'
'I often seem out of tune with the viewers in the live streaming room because I'm not perverted enough...'
“Hahahahahahaha…”
"……"
Looking at the increasingly outrageous comments, A Yin also found it quite funny.
However, just as he was about to respond, he saw another video file playing on the screen.
But this time, the video is different from the calm and sweet one just now.
Mia looked panicked at this moment!
The dim picture was a little shaky.
For some reason, my wife Mia seemed very scared and was breathing rapidly.
She looked at the camera with fear in her eyes.
[I'm sorry... I'm sorry Ethan, I lied to you, but...]
At this point, Mia hesitated:
[If you see this video...then you must listen to me! ]
The screen suddenly went dark!
My wife's voice revealed extreme panic and despair!
[Don't worry about this! ]
【Don’t come to me!!!】
…
rustle--
The wheels made a rustling sound as they rolled over the gravel road.
At dusk, a car drove along the country road and drove along the endless seashore.
The voice of Ethan talking to a friend on the phone runs through this suspenseful cutscene CG:
"hello?"
"Uh hey, it's me, Ethan, Ethan Winters."
"Why do you use such a number? What happened to you? Why did you suddenly disappear the night before yesterday?"
"Uh... I'm fine, I'm okay, it's... it's about Mia, she's not dead, she's still alive... she's back."
"What? You found her?"
"No, I haven't found her yet. To be honest, I don't know what happened in the meantime, but she just came back..."
"But it's been three years, man! What if it was a prank?"
"Then I have to go find her too. What if it's true? I have to find out what happened to her disappearance..."
“…”
"Good evening, audience friends, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the first look at "Resident Evil 7: No Hero" brought to you by Pure Black,"
As the game's perspective switched to the actual machine, Pure Black's voice also sounded, and he seemed a little nervous and took a deep breath:
"I have to go back to that little house again. This perspective really makes me feel a little uneasy..."
See you right now!
Chun Hei gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and drove forward along the country road covered with dense forests.
Although he is Ethan, his fingers are intact at the moment and there is no press pass hanging on the car.
But this familiar scene still makes the audience feel 'more intimate'——
'Next stop: Louisiana branch of Giant Mountain Mental Hospital'
'The old thief really likes people driving'
'Hahahahahaha this perspective is too escapist'
"Slurp, Ethan's hands are so beautiful."
'Hope they are healthy (Amen)'
'Hahahahahahahaha I often worry about the safety of the protagonist's fingers in Lao Zei's works'
"Another finger cutting? That can't be that shady, right?"
"After all, the three classic items in the old thief horror game are - DV camera, fuse, and hand."
"……"
And with the audience's discussion and expectations!
The first Resident Evil film after Gu Sheng took over from Shinji Misho officially kicked off.
