Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world.

This is the first time Zuo Zhen has revealed his next plan to outsiders.

In fact, from the time he pitched the game to Akira Nakamura of NGS, he had already planned the general path ahead.

There is still the most hot money overseas, and the country still needs some time to grow. People across the country have more important things to do, such as developing national industry and working hard to provide a rich material life for their descendants.

As for things like video games that are spiritually satisfying, you can take it slow and don’t push it forward so urgently.

Under normal circumstances, Zuo Zhen's plan is to wait for Contra to make money, and then set up a game publishing company in Japan or the United States. He will concentrate on making games at home, and leave overseas matters to people who are good at it. .

As for what kind of overseas people to find, Zuo Zhen doesn't have a target yet. He plans to take it one step at a time.

Let’s make money from Contra and Squirrel War first.

After making a few waves of money, you can start a bigger business when you have enough confidence.

After Zuo Zhen finished talking to Yu Mengchen about his thoughts, he looked at her and asked: "How is it? Do you still think that I won't need you soon? We will be busy in the future, and just the two of us can still do it." It’s not enough, we need more talents, video game production is not easy.”

However, it seems to me that it is quite simple for you to do.

Yu Mengchen wanted to say this, but the words still didn't come out.

"Then can I continue to draw game art in the future? Will there be other games in the future?" Yu Mengchen looked forward to it.

"Of course." Zuo Zhen nodded, "And there will be more. You will definitely need more helpers by then."

"No, I can do it alone." Yu Mengchen said firmly.

"You'll know when the time comes." Zuo Zhen didn't persuade him any more.

She still doesn't know the scale of future video games. Future AAA masterpieces are projects that often require the cooperation of thousands of people and several years. In terms of funding and scale, they are not weaker than some infrastructure projects.

"Okay, then the next step is to pay wages. Here is 20 yuan, which is your basic salary for these two weeks. You will also get additional bonuses after the game is released."

Zuo Zhen took out the remaining 25 yuan from his pocket, clicked and handed the 20 yuan directly to Yu Mengchen.

"No, I don't want it. I don't need the money now. You can give it to me later. You must need the money more than me now. I heard your roommate said that you seem to have foreign debts."

"Huh? How do you know my roommate? Which one is it? Dai Min? Kou Wencheng? Sang Lianqi?"

"It seems his name is Dai Min. In fact, I just came out of the library at noon and saw him coming over to ask me if I knew Zuo Zhen, and then the two of us started chatting."

Zuo Zhen suddenly realized that this seemed like something Dai Min could do. He probably saw himself and Yu Mengchen walking together in school, and then he started to ask questions with a burning heart of gossip.

"So just keep the money first, you have more important things to do."

Zuo Zhen thought for a while and then nodded: "Okay, I'll keep it for now. I'll settle your salary for the whole month at the beginning of next month. You won't be able to refuse then."

"Let's talk about it then. Zuo Zhen, I just want to know if you have any new game production. I can work now."

"It's true, but not now. I haven't even finished the game program yet. I'll wait until I finish the framework. Just go back to sleep today."

Yu Mengchen still wanted to persist, but Zuo Zhen finally used his boss's power to force her to go back to rest.

This is a good employee, and he can take the initiative to come to work, so he must be cherished.

After sending Yu Mengchen away, Zuo Zhen began to seriously think about what to make for the next game.

This is a parallel world that is very different from the original world, but there are also some places that are the same.

There is also Super Mario in this world, and Shigeru Miyamoto is indeed on the list of producers, so the people are still the same.

Therefore, I cannot choose games that were released before 1986, and even games released a year later must avoid production, otherwise there will be suspicion of a crash.

Dragon Quest and The Legend of Zelda are definitely out of business, and Final Fantasy is also a bit in danger, because Final Fantasy will be released next year, and it is estimated that Square Enix has already made relevant plans.

It's obviously too dangerous to move.

Zuo Zhen began to recall it carefully in his mind.

In fact, there are still many goals to choose from. There are thousands of games that have appeared on the Famicom alone. There will always be something suitable for your own production.

As for now, Zuo Zhen finishes the work on Squirrel War first, and then copies it to a floppy disk and sends it out as soon as possible.

After a night of silence, Zuo Zhen left the dormitory early the next morning and headed to the computer room.

Yu Mengchen had been waiting for Zuo Zhen here very early, and then entered the computer room side by side with Zuo Zhen.

However, Zuo Zhen did not sit down to play the game this time. He explained to Yu Mengchen today's new work and improved the visual effects of Contra.

Zuo Zhen originally asked Yu Mengchen to take a break recently, but she was unwilling and insisted on doing something, as if she was afraid that she would be abandoned.

Zuo Zhen had no choice but to take out Contra and give it to Yu Mengchen, asking her to optimize the graphics in Contra.

The scenes in the original Contra actually have some animation special effects, such as the animated special effects of flesh and blood crawling in the background in the last level.

But Zuo Zhen was in a hurry at that time. It was already amazing to be able to finish the game in time. It was already a bit difficult to add more details to the game background.

It was just a good time to let Yu Mengchen get familiar with the production method of animation special effects in the game.

After handing over the work, Zuo Zhen left the computer room.

He still has to make money today.

Get at least 2000 yuan first.

At this time, Zuo Zhen had exactly twenty phone numbers on hand, all of which were from families that had become rich in recent years and owned personal computers.

And according to Han Hongkun's introduction, his family situation is similar to his. The computer was bought just to support the appearance and was not used much.

Then they will be very willing to give them a chance to make good use of the computer.

In the morning, Zuo Zhen came to a worker community in the city. There was a family here that had just started doing business. Zuo Zhen briefly introduced that he was introduced by Han Hongkun, and then promoted Contra for 100 yuan a copy.

There was an old man staying at home. He was usually retired and had nothing to do. Zuo Zhen showed up and promoted a game to relieve his boredom.

"Old man, just press it like this, yes, yes, that's it. Old man, you are great. You learn so quickly. It seems that you must have been a very knowledgeable and smart person before."

"Hahaha, young man, I love what you say. 100 yuan, right? Take it, this game is really interesting."
