Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 492 The Father of Street Fighter

He Jin and Hanami He were chatting about the new Japanese album.

Suddenly, Hua Jian was shocked.

He pointed to a man not far away and said: "He Jinjun, didn't you say you like Street Fighter very much before? Let me introduce you to its founder, Mr. Yoshiki Okamoto!"

"Yoshiki Okamoto?"

He paused and followed his gaze.

I saw a man and a woman walking in at the entrance of the hall, holding hands with each other.

Yoshiki Okamoto, a Japanese, was born in 1961. In 1983, he joined Kafuku () Company and became a game producer.

Speaking of Jiafu Kang () Company, some people may feel a little unfamiliar.

But when it comes to the works of this company, many people should be familiar with them.

The classic fighting game "Street Fighter" series that is now popular all over the world is produced by Jiafu Kang () Company.

The main creative producer of this game is Yoshiki Okamoto.

Now that he mentioned it again, his own words were full of ridicule.

After Hana Jianhe introduced him, He Jin smiled and gestured to Okamoto.

The most important thing is to have a sense of immersion in the game first, so the audience is never able to get these people to sit with the game characters one by one, and it is inevitable that there will be a gap in their hearts.

Okamoto smiled.

Of the two of them, one is outside the industry and the other is just a small star under Yanyin.

Okamoto shook his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Hanami He smiled and looked at Yuko Sanada, "Yuko, just in time, the company plans to let you star in a TV series, let's talk over there."

Although Yoshiki Okamoto is just a game producer for Kafukusu () Company and does not have the right to sell the copyright of the game, this does not affect why he wants to get to know him.

"City Hunter" has added elements of Street Fighter and is very popular in Japan.

"Do you need to get acquainted?"

Therefore, it is not surprising that he can find a female star, or a female star who is not popular, as his girlfriend.

The special effects are not good, and the main actors are simply imitating the movements of the characters in the game, which makes it look very clumsy.

Street Fighter has become popular all over the world, bringing astonishing benefits to Okamoto and the company.

He Jin smiled and nodded.

He reflected some other meanings from He Jin's words just now.

Compared with He Jin and some other big stars at the banquet who were welcomed and chased by others as soon as they entered the door, the pair of Okamoto and Sanada Yuko seemed very lonely.

Therefore, after the two of them came in, each holding a glass of red wine, they stood in the corner and chatted.

"Actually, "Street Fighter" is not that bad. At the very least, it allows you to experiment with combining games and movies.

Therefore, it is very normal for him to show respect to Hanamihe.

While walking, Hanami He explained why Okamoto Yoshiki appeared at Yanyin's internal employee banquet.

When Hana Jianhe and He Jin walked up to the two of them and greeted them, Sanada Yuko immediately bowed to them excitedly.

Not only does he have a prominent position in the entertainment industry, but even outside the industry, his status is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

What a failure this movie was!

"resident Evil".

"Okamoto and Sanada Yuko are dating. You should know that men like beautiful women, especially those at the top of big companies who are in the upper echelon of finances."

Various factors led to the film's eventual failure.

At the very least, it became a good experiment in combining games and movies.

"Yes! I like "Street Fighter" very much, and it is an honor for me to chat with its creator."

No one will pay attention to them or flatter them.

From this point of view, He Jin can feel that Hanamihe's status in Japan is obviously much higher than that of Okamoto.

Although the company attaches great importance to the film and television adaptation of Street Fighter, it even once personally dispatched company personnel to serve as screenwriters for the crew.

If I have the chance to adapt the game again, I believe it will be easy to get started."

I didn't find the opportunity at that time, but who would have thought that Hua Jianhe would actually remember it in his heart.

Okamoto bowed slightly to Hanami He.

And Japan is a country that is famous for being playful.

"Mr. He Jin, I have admired you for a long time. I like to listen to your songs very much. I followed you when you released your first song "Love Story Part 1". It is an honor to meet you!"

He suddenly realized and said: "He Jinjun, do you want to try to adapt a game into a movie?

Hanamihe looked at He Jin and asked him if he needed to know Yoshiki Okamoto.

As a movie adapted from a game, I won’t say much about the plot. This movie is still faithful to the game’s settings in terms of the characters’ good and evil characters.

Okamoto looked at his girlfriend Sanada Yuko, and then at Hanami Hiroshi.

In 1995, it was he who overcame all objections and handed the Resident Evil game development plan to Shinji Mikami, and thus the Resident Evil series of games was born.

It’s no wonder that this guy has made Yanyin make great progress in just a few years, and is on the verge of catching up with Johnny. With his attitude towards his partners, it’s hard for him not to succeed.

Yoshiki Okamoto is not a big shot, but after all, he is also the director of the development department of Jiafu Kang () Company. The money and status this position has brought to him are already very high.

Just in April this year, the film and television adaptation of Street Fighter "Street Fighter" was released in North America.

Among them, film and television adaptations are very important to them.

Hanamihe introduced He Jin to Okamoto.

"What's the use of this? How many popular games does the company have that can be adapted?"

The plot is cliche, and the forced jokes are so lame that they almost made the audience doze off on the bench.

Well, this should be the reason why in Japanese documentaries, there are always female subordinates being raped by their bosses!

Courtesy between superiors and subordinates is very important.

"Mr. Okamoto, let me introduce to you. This is He Jinjun from Hong Kong. He likes the game "Street Fighter" you made very much and said he wants to talk to you.

Even though they hired a top Hollywood production team and invited action star Jean-Claude Van Damme to star, the movie still ended in failure.

Even, to a certain extent, many female stars in the Japanese entertainment industry are actually just a group of high-end social butterflies.

He is very satisfied with Hana Jianhe.

Men, there is no way to be careless, especially when you have money.

"Thank you! I also like your games very much. I wonder if you have seen Jackie Chan's "City Hunter". I also played a guest role in it."

The failure of the movie naturally made game producer Okamoto dissatisfied.

"Mr. Okamoto, Yuko!"

In addition, this guy is also one of the main creative staff of another later classic work.

Hua Jianhe's words made He Jin nodded.

"I have seen it. It's a very good movie. It's a pity that Mr. Wang Jing didn't get the rights to adapt Street Fighter. Otherwise, he might be able to adapt a perfect "Street Fighter".

That’s right, He Jinjun, your film company Huaren Film and Television has successfully joined the ranks of major companies by adapting the Hong Kong comic "Young and Dangerous", so it is completely normal to be interested in adapting games into movies."

By the way, you should know He Jinjun, right?"

In Japan, the importance of etiquette is no less important than in Korea.

He Jin is quite interested in "Resident Evil".

Street Fighter is a game produced by Okamoto as producer.

"Mr. Flower."

He Jin didn't expect this guy to be so sharp, but he didn't intend to hide it and invited him directly.

But maybe it's also because it focuses too much on the fighting scenes, which makes it look very strange.

Also, Hanami Heko is the president of Yanyin Company. He has brought out countless famous stars in the industry for many years.

Okamoto said with a smile.

He is right, this movie is not all bad for the company.

"Are you interested in chatting?"

The plot of the movie is also too simple, just like a "Die Hard"-style action movie, with the characters not having distinct personalities and being heavily stereotyped.

This guy is indeed an old fox. A year ago, when He Jin was chatting with him, he talked about games and expressed his interest in finding a few games to adapt into movies.

This naturally makes them take this game very seriously.

Just like a film director treats his movies like his own children, Okamoto does the same with his games.

He Jin said with a smile.

As far as He Jin knows, Yoshiki Okamoto has now served as the director of the game development department of Jiafu Kang () Company.

Especially male bosses and female subordinates.

Jean-Claude Van Damme's action scenes should be the only highlight of the film.

"Ha ha!"

The film did not reflect the essence of the original game very well. There were many characters, but the shapes were rough and weird. Although the film invested more than 35 million yuan, it was not used to any practical effect.

It failed so directly that almost no one in the audience knew that such a movie existed.

Not only will the company arrange for them to have sex with some big shots, but they themselves will often make large sums of money themselves.

"Ah! President, He Jinjun."

In the previous life, due to this failure, the company learned many lessons from the previous adaptation of "Resident Evil" and optimized not only the character settings, but also the story background settings.

It is also because of this that "Resident Evil" can become a commercial series masterpiece.

The two of them walked towards Okamoto Yoshiki's position.

In Asia, compared to "City Hunter", a movie that only has the character's portrait rights, few people know about this movie.

The one our company co-produced with North America was really inferior."

The "Resident Evil" movie, which was released in 1995 and was adapted into a classic zombie movie in 2002, was adapted from this game.

As for Okamoto, no matter in terms of status or age, he is more than a step behind Hanakura.

After a pause, he suddenly looked at He Jin.

Unfortunately, this adaptation did not meet the company's expectations.

Jackie Chan's movies have always been very popular in Japan.

There are many reasons why the film was unsuccessful, including script, dialogue, music, etc.

This will inevitably make players who are familiar with the game feel very "terrible".

Sanada Yuko was taken away from here by Hanamihe.

"please!"

He Jin signaled to Okamoto.

Then the two of them found a quieter location.
