Downey didn't stay with Nanaya for long. He was busy taking Susan to meet other Hollywood bigwigs at the venue.
You have to know that his wife is a film producer now, and the more connections he has, the better.
When it comes to pampering his wife, Downey is indeed a role model for all men.
"Hey, Nanaya. Are you done?"
Before Donnie had walked far, Shion took the initiative to appear in front of Nanaya.
Obviously, she saw that there was no one around Nanaya, so she came over to arrest him.
"Yes."
Nanaya also guessed what Shion was thinking, and he nodded decisively.
"Then let's go~"
Shion led the way with a smile on her face, and Nanaya followed behind obediently.
Ryan was half a body length behind Nanaya, while the two Sera sisters were following Ryan a few steps away.
Although this series of combinations looks very much like a string of candied haws, no one has any opinion about it.
Shion's grandfather didn't talk loudly in front of the crowd like Mr. Stan Lee.
He found a table in another corner of the banquet hall and sat there drinking by himself, looking like a very ordinary guest.
If Nanaya had not seen the other person's photo, he would never have thought that the other person was the legendary gaming industry tycoon.
"Grandpa~"
Shion ran happily to the old man.
This slightly sweet voice gave Nanaya goose bumps.
You know, even when Shion was acting coquettishly to him, she never spoke to him in such a voice.
"Hehe~ Shion, you're here to see grandpa again."
Facing his granddaughter, the old man still seemed very kind and amiable.
"Grandpa, there's someone who wants to see you." Shion said, pointing to Nanaya behind him, "His name is Kiryu Nanaya, and he wants to talk to you."
[It was your grandfather who wanted to find me, okay? When did it become me who wanted to find him? ]
Nanaya kept complaining in his heart.
Even though he knew that he would meet the old man sooner or later, Nanaya did not want to run into him now.
Because it's too scary.
Nanaya always felt that there was a knife in the other person's eyes when he looked at him.
"Oh~ that's him."
Old Master Washimine Hiroshi nodded slowly.
"Hey, Grandpa..."
Shion whispered a few words in the old man's ear. Nanaya didn't know what she said, but the old man seemed quite happy from his expression.
"Then I'll leave my position to you, Grandpa~"
Shion smiled slightly, she took Ryan's arm and said, "I'll borrow your female companion first, you can have a conversation with grandpa about men."
[Men's conversation? A story about [beep!] and [beep!]? ]
Nanaya wanted to stop Shion and asked her not to leave.
But at this time, Washimine Hiroshi spoke up: "Nanayo Kiryu, right? Come over and sit down."
"OK."
Nanaya made a well-behaved sound, and silently sat down beside Mr. Washimine Hiroshi, then watched his only savior go away with tears in his eyes.
"If you have anything to drink, you can ask the waiter."
"It's okay, I don't drink."
Nothing good will happen if I drink, so how can I dare to drink in front of this Nanaya?
"Is that so?"
The old man didn't care. He poured himself another glass of sake and took a sip.
"Um..."
"…"
Nanaya felt uneasy when being stared at by the other party.
But since the other party didn't speak, he didn't dare to take the initiative to talk and could only observe the other party silently.
Although the old man's surname in this world was changed from Yamanouchi to Washimine, his appearance and growth process were no different from what Nanaya remembered in his previous life.
Apart from being labeled as "an alien walking with his face" and being constantly teased because of the Sony incident, the old man is still very great.
Nanaya believed that if anyone wanted to study the development history of electronic games, the ninth art, in the future, the old man in front of him would be an obstacle that they could not avoid no matter what.
Just like if you want to understand Japanese animation, you have to mention Hayao Miyazaki separately.
That's the influence he has in the industry.
Of course, these were not the reasons why Nanaya saw the old man's legs go weak.
Logically speaking, Nanaya helped Washimine break free from the shackles of the game company and develop into an entertainment empire.
From this perspective, Nanaya is undoubtedly indebted to Washimine.
Washimine Hiroshi should definitely be grateful to him.
But for Nanaya, he should be thankful that the old man didn't mix himself with cement and throw himself into Tokyo Bay.
When the old man was young, Washimine was still a small workshop.
In addition, the public security was not very good at that time, so the old man often dealt with people in the underworld.
Influenced by this, many of Washimine Hiroshi's future business strategies had the style of a gangster boss.
It's not the underworld, but it's worse than the underworld.
This is the true portrayal of the Washimine Dynasty during the FC era.
When Sony stabbed it in the back, other manufacturers rose up in rebellion, which eventually led to the collapse of the dynasty.
It was at this time that the old man began to truly reflect on himself, and his gangster-like behavior began to decrease.
But he is not Coach Anxi, who directly turned from a "white-haired devil" into a "white-haired Buddha".
So when Mr. Washimine Hiroshi looked at him through his brown sunglasses, Nanaya had reason to be very frightened.
If he just slept with someone's granddaughter, that would be fine, but having unclear relationships with other little idols is a bit hard to understand.
Anyway, if it were Nanaya himself, he would never let go of a man who messed around with his granddaughter.
It would be an easy task to let him live in Tokyo Bay.
"Kiryu Nanaya... I see you and Shion are very familiar with each other, so can I call you Nanaya?"
"Sure."
The smile on Nanaya's face was a little flattering.
As long as the old man is happy, I have no objection to calling him "Nana", even though he doesn't have the muscles of a killed cow.
"Nanaya,"
The old man took another sip of wine.
"Yes."
"I heard that you recently submitted two new game plans to Iwata?"
"Ha?"
Nanaya almost hit his head on the table.
[Aren't you going to tell me about Shion? ]
Thinking back to the time when Shion entered the banquet hall until now, it seemed that no one had mentioned that the old man was looking for me because of the affair between them.
It seemed that all the topics of conversation were made up by Nanaya himself.
The old man saw Nanaya's mouth open, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a little surprised."
Nanaya quickly adjusted his state of mind. It was a blessing for him that the old man didn't mention his little troubles.
"I just didn't expect Satoru-ni to choose to report to you. I just proposed two game plans."
Nanaya was indeed surprised because the old man's topic was unexpected, but he was also a little surprised that the old man would actually interfere in Washimine's current affairs.
You know, in Nanaya's memory, after the old man handed over power to the next generation in his previous life, he really never managed the company again.
He didn't interfere with either the golden age of Wii or the collapse of Wii-U.
Just like what he said before he retired -
"What happens in the future will have nothing to do with me. The company's affairs will be handed over to those young people."
After his retirement, the old man never got involved in the company's management affairs again.
This is also the reason why Nanaya didn't think about the business at all when he heard that the old man was looking for him.
"I didn't expect Brother Satoru to come to you." Nanaya said with a wry smile, "It's obviously just a small matter like this."
Washimine Hiroshi slowly shook his head: "This is no small matter. You are changing the fundamentals of Washimine's game making."
"It shouldn't be that serious..." Nanaya felt that Washimine Hiroshi was making a big fuss. "I just submitted two game value development plans about Fate IP."
"You still don't understand." Washimine Hiroshi snorted, "Tell me what these two games are?"
Nanaya replied: "One is a MOBA game, and the other is a first-person shooter game. Both games are based on the type of two-party battle."
In fact, the two projects given by Nanaya were the Fate-skin versions of the very popular League of Legends and Overwatch.
In fact, when an IP has enough characters and a relatively grand worldview, it can actually be made into any game.
As a development of the commercial value of the Fate series, Nanaya will naturally not stop at just releasing one fighting game.
In-depth development of this IP is necessary.
According to what Nanaya knows about future gaming trends, mobile games and light online games are the future development direction and the most profitable game types.
But in 2007, when the iPhone 1 was just released, smartphones were far from being as popular as they are today.
Therefore, Nanaya did not have plans to launch a mobile game immediately, but instead planned to start with netizens.
Nanaya's first idea was to use the Fate IP to make an MMORGP type game.
But considering that it would be difficult for this type of game to surpass Blizzard's Yamaguchi, and the shrinking market for MMORGP in the future, Nanaya finally gave up the project.
After that, Nanaya thought of the two most popular online fighting games before his rebirth: League of Legends and Pioneer.
With Fate's huge hero library, there is no problem at all in modifying these two games.
Change the summoner to a Master, let the servants directly participate in the battle, change the ultimate skill to a Noble Phantasm, etc., there are basically no major problems.
Of course, specific moves and the like must be modified to fit the world view and structure of Fate as closely as possible.
But these are all small things. When we make games in the future, there will be plenty of time to polish them slowly.
Moreover, these two games do not require high technical skills, which is just a piece of cake for Washimine's game team.
For these two types of games to be successful, what they ultimately need is a skilled operations team that understands players' ideas.
However, this can be slowly improved after the game is launched.
Anyway, under Nanaya's management, the operations department will definitely not make any particularly suicidal plans, and some minor problems can be completely compensated by operations experience.
Therefore, after Nanaya wrote these two plans and handed them to Satoru, he no longer managed them.
He originally planned to wait until he finished the later stages of the second half of FZ, by which time Washimine should be able to come up with a suitable plan.
But unexpectedly, Cong Ge submitted the two plans directly to Washimine Hiroshi, and the other party came directly to him.
Looking at Washimine Hiroshi's eyes, Nanaya felt a little scared.
[Is he planning to stop these two projects? ]
Looking at Washimine Hiroshi's sharp eyes, Nanaya always felt that things were going to be bad.
