Chapter 264 Find Out More. Third Update
The knight in armor held a long sword in his hand and stared deeply ahead, as if he was thinking about something.
The entire painting has both spirit and form, exuding a unique sense of beauty.
"This is a painting recommended by Mr. Brown himself. It is indeed extraordinary."
"Indeed, and I just heard from Mr. Brown that the person who painted this painting is still a young man from Japan. Such a person will definitely make achievements in the field of art in the future."
"I'm already kind of thinking about asking this guy to do a painting for me. A painting of a fantasy knight in armor would be mediocre to me, but a landscape painting would definitely be nice."
"Huh? If you say that, I'm also a little interested. How about we ask Mr. Brown for the contact information of this young man?"
"Okay, we'll ask about it later."
They were whispering in the audience, and the Final Fantasy painting won an Advertising Art Award for Best Newcomer.
There aren't usually many competitors for this award, and Zhao Longgui's paintings are indeed unique, so the probability of winning is naturally very high.
But winning awards is actually secondary.
Through this award selection, some upper-class people in the United States have begun to pay attention to the painting itself, and... the game Final Fantasy.
"Mr. Brown, are you saying that this painting is a promotional advertisement for a video game? Isn't this something for children? How can there be such a beautiful painting?"
After the award judging, someone approached Brown again, hoping to know more about the painting itself and the artist.
They were a little surprised when they learned that it was a cover advertisement for a video game.
Brown was somewhat satisfied when he saw their expressions, because he had the same expression when he heard the news.
"That's right, it comes from video games. I'm afraid you don't know yet. The age levels of video games are gradually being broken down. Video games are no longer limited to children."
"Since Mr. Brown said it, it seems more interesting. When I get back, I will study this video game carefully and play this Final Fantasy."
Brown said at this time: "I'm afraid this is not enough."
"Huh? Why?"
"This game has not actually been released yet. Although there is a first work, that work is actually not interesting. It is just a story about a prince and princess, which is a bit childish for adults like us."
"But the second part seems to be changing. The creators of this game want to open up new markets, so they make it more adult."
"So it turns out that we still have to wait."
These people suddenly felt a little regretful.
"But I also have some recommendations, such as Overlord of the Three Kingdoms. I have learned about this game in the past few days. It is very interesting. You can give it a try."
"Three Kingdoms?"
"Well, it is the historical story of the Chinese country in the East, and then it is played out in the form of a video game. It is like playing chess, but it is more complicated than simply playing chess. It requires the formation of troops, the morale of the soldiers, and the city. supply, population demand.”
"Huh? This sounds interesting."
"Very good, I'm already interested. Thank you for your recommendation, Mr. Brown."
…
After the awards event ended, video games, especially Sega MD, began to gradually spread among the upper circles.
Many people first wanted to see with their own eyes what the famous artist Mr. Brown admired.
Later, after actually getting started, they discovered that there is really something good about today's video games.
Just say that the Three Kingdoms Overlord is quite rich in details.
Being able to create such an interesting world through a bunch of code is also a skill.
They really hadn't had much contact before.
…
In Zuo Zhen's memory, after a photo of the wife of the American president playing GAMEBOY on a special plane appeared in the United States, the corresponding game console was immediately sold out throughout the United States.
Something that even the president’s wife likes is definitely extraordinary.
Then ordinary civilians discovered that this thing was actually affordable for them, so even if it was fashionable and they used the same product as the president's wife, they were willing to pay for it.
Of course, Zuo Zhen definitely can't let the president's wife promote him now.
But that advertising art award was enough for the time being.
According to his previous investigation, the participants from all walks of life can be regarded as well-known from all walks of life. If it can impress them, it will also make many civilians follow the trend.
This should actually be regarded as a very popular description in later generations: celebrities bring goods.
It's just that Zuo Zhen didn't go directly to celebrities to bring him goods, but used this roundabout way.
This kind of investment may not necessarily be a lot, but as long as it has a certain influence, the effect will definitely be quite good.
All of this is to pave the way for the second part of Final Fantasy.
And before you know it, another year has passed and a new year has arrived.
The competition between Sega and NGS is also becoming increasingly fierce.
Now Sega has upgraded from relying on real games to fight alone, to having more allies fighting side by side.
Various games also began to be gradually launched on the Sega MD.
NGS seems to have finally been able to bear it no longer.
If this continues, it may really be overtaken by Sega.
So at the beginning of the year, NGS finally launched their ultimate move.
gameboy officially released.
This seemed to be a big move at last, causing Sega to be silent for a while.
Sega knew that NGS was developing a portable gaming device, but the image and appearance were far from what they expected.
Later, Sega also hurriedly announced that it was also developing similar products, and it also had better image quality and performance than Gameboy. Just like their Sega MD surpassed the NGS game console, it was temporarily regained.
Zuo Zhen was just watching the fun at this time and had no intention of participating in the scolding war between the two families for the time being.
Gameboy seems to be more promising in the future because it can be played for longer periods of time.
Sega's handheld console can only be played for a few hours, which is really a big gap compared to Gameboy.
At this time, portable handheld consoles obviously have longer battery life and are more advantageous, but the graphics and other aspects are ranked behind. This is still a bit different from home consoles.
Of course, the main reason for everything is the development of technology. If it can take into account the screen life and battery life, the gameboy will naturally have no market.
But at this time, Zuo Zhen is more like a spectator. He is now concentrating on his own Final Fantasy Part 2 and putting everything else aside.
Then, not long after the New Year, Final Fantasy Part 2 was officially released step by step.
NGS also immediately arranged for people to pay close attention to the developments of Final Fantasy Part 2, so as not to be stolen by Zuo Zhen unpreparedly.
