Chapter 75
Bang bang bang...
In the test machine room of VTech, Wu Feng was sitting in front of an arcade machine, constantly turning the joystick and pressing buttons, directing the little person on the screen to continuously pull the trigger of the firearm, sending out red bullets one by one.
The arcade's speakers kept emitting crisp gunshots and intense electronic music, which had a very immersive atmosphere.
The boss and manager of VTech, as well as the technical supervisor, were all standing behind watching.
The three bodyguards were scattered in various parts of the machine room, occasionally glancing at the intense gun battle on the arcade screen, their faces expressionless but their eyes revealing obvious curiosity.
Bang!
With the last crisp gunshot, accompanied by the victory fireworks appearing on the arcade screen and the impassioned music indicating full clearance, Wu Feng stopped his movements.
"Wusheng is amazing, clearing the level in one breath!"
The VTech boss showed a surprised expression and praised: "I played it before, and I couldn't get through without wasting a few lives; the firepower on the other side is too fierce!"
Wu Feng smiled without saying a word; damn, isn't this nonsense?
With his physical fitness and nerve reaction speed at this time, if he couldn't pass a horizontal gun battle arcade game in one go, how could he be embarrassed to say he was a kung fu master?
Seeing Wu Feng's attitude unclear, the VTech boss wondered: "According to the gun battle game setting of "A Better Tomorrow" story, there are no similar types on the market, it should be quite good, right?"
In his view, it's not just "quite good", it's simply amazing, okay?
At this time, "Contra" was just released in the small days and hadn't spread to Hong Kong yet.
It can be said that the "A Better Tomorrow" arcade game was the best gun battle game he had ever seen and played, especially with the addition of the film story, full of substitution.
"It's still okay!"
Wu Feng nodded in recognition; in 1987, it definitely belonged to a horizontal gun battle arcade game with playability.
It's just that the black and white screen, and the not-so-clear characters, made him feel dissatisfied.
Of course, the most important thing is that the plot has many places to perfect.
"Are there too few levels?"
He said directly: "There are only two bosses, Tan Cheng and Mr. Yao; if you encounter a stronger arcade master, you can clear the level in less than three minutes, which is too short!"
"Then how does Wusheng think we should set up more levels?"
At this time, the technical supervisor responsible for the development and production of the game motherboard asked: "The story of "A Better Tomorrow" is only that long, it's not easy for us to add plot!"
"Very simple!"
Wu Feng said with a laugh: "Just add the gun battle scenes of the taxi company and the headquarters building of the counterfeit group, and then increase the difficulty of passing the level, wouldn't that be it?"
"Also, if you choose Little Horse Brother, you can add a separate battle plot of Fenglin Pavilion!"
The technical supervisor's eyes lit up and clapped: "This idea is good, we can continue to develop!"
"Wusheng, what about this version of "A Better Tomorrow" game?"
At this time, the VTech boss was a bit anxious, pointing to the arcade machine Wu Feng had just played and asked: "Not launching to the market, continue to develop a more perfect version?"
"No, launch this version to the market first!"
Wu Feng chuckled, naturally understanding the VTech boss's mind.
It was hard to see the finished product, and it was a quite good finished product, so naturally, he was unwilling to waste resources in vain and wanted to take the opportunity to make a big profit.
After all, at this time, developing arcade game motherboards was still a quite expensive thing.
If it weren't for the fact that Hong Kong could invite talents from all over the world, and the company itself had a certain technical reserve, it wouldn't be so easy to develop the "A Better Tomorrow" arcade gun battle game motherboard so quickly.
Of course, the one million he invested directly earlier still had a great effect.
At this time, he naturally wanted to see the market feedback of the "A Better Tomorrow" arcade game.
In addition, there was a little bit of selfishness. He wanted to occupy the market with the "A Better Tomorrow" gun battle game before "Contra" spread to Hong Kong.
According to his idea, absolutely cannot let "Contra" specialize in front!
Seeing the VTech boss showing joy, he continued: "After the subsequent version is developed, sell the motherboard again; do those game hall bosses dare not buy it?"
"That's the reason, that's the reason!"
The VTech boss nodded repeatedly, and continued to ask: "Then according to Wusheng's meaning, when will we push out the gun version of "A Better Tomorrow"?"
"Have you found a motherboard production factory?"
Wu Feng asked curiously: "How much does a game motherboard cost?"
"Can only produce on a small scale!"
Speaking of this, the VTech boss couldn't help but sigh: "Hong Kong's foundation in this regard is very weak, and it can only be produced by the company's own small factory; the cost of each motherboard has reached 4,500 Hong Kong dollars!"
"So high?"
Wu Feng was taken aback, seeing the VTech boss just shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he didn't continue to ask.
In his heart, he had made up his mind that he must build an arcade motherboard production factory on the Mainland.
"Then how much is an arcade machine?"
He asked curiously: "Is there 15,000?"
"Almost!"
The VTech boss cheered up and said happily: "Especially arcade games like "A Better Tomorrow" are not worried about selling in Hong Kong!"
"Very good, then let's do things according to the contract!"
Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction: "VTech is responsible for production and manufacturing, and I am responsible for promotion!"
As for the final profit, it is naturally a 50-50 split.
Otherwise, the one million development funds he invested earlier would have been directly thrown into the water?
When Wu Feng came out of VTech, it was already late afternoon, and it was not far from evening, and he still had to attend the film premiere organized by Jing Kun.
Fortunately, the matter was not troublesome. He shipped a few arcade machines that had already been installed with the "A Better Tomorrow" game motherboard to the base, and immediately called his three underlings.
When the three underlings came over, those few arcade machines had already been surrounded by underlings who loved to play. Those crisp gunshots and impassioned electronic music were really too eye-catching.
"Wait, pull these few arcade machines away and send them to the game halls under your territory!"
Wu Feng ordered: "It's a gun battle game made according to the story of "A Better Tomorrow". I have a share in it, remember to observe the situation carefully!"
"By the way, these arcade machines are 15,000 each, remember to ask the game hall boss to pay!"
After explaining this, seeing that the time was almost up, he took the three-person bodyguard group that had been rotated, and the eight close underlings who had also been rotated, and left in three vans.
