9days ago Celebrity fiction 8
When Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong, it was already Christmas.

Ye Zishan, who came together, officially went to the Hong Kong branch to report and became a Xinhua News Agency reporter in Hong Kong.

Maybe some people may say that the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League will not stay and go to Hong Kong to be a reporter.

But being sent to work in Hong Kong these days is really more jealous than being in a major mainland agency. If Ye Zishan had no one to protect her, she wouldn't have gotten this job.

After Kang Jian flew back to Hong Kong, he immediately focused on the later stage of "Tang Bohu's Delicacy".

Mai Zishan, the golden scissors, had already cut the film out, and the effect basically satisfies Kang Jianfei, but some details were cut a few more times.

At this moment, the comic "The King of Fighters" has been serialized in Japan for a full month, but its performance is not very popular, and the market reaction is very average.

The promotional advertisement for "The King of Fighters" has also been aired on many Japanese TV stations, and most of the content played are exciting video clips during game development and testing.

Various gorgeous big moves and beautiful and handsome characters have attracted some young people.

Nanako Noguchi (Nanako Matsushima), who just turned 15, became the official spokesperson of "The King of Fighters". Her portrait of COSPLAY Athena was posted at the doors of major game halls.

These promotional strategies were proposed by Kang Jianfei. In the 1980s, Japanese game companies launched new arcade works, and generally directly contacted promotion matters with specific game halls. Only home computers would advertise on TV.

Although it took a lot of money to make promotional advertisements on TV, the promotional effect still satisfies Nakayama Hayao. After watching the game advertisements, many people went to the game hall to ask if there is any "King of Fighters" to play.

If you want to blame, blame the game "King of Fighters" for being perfect in one step. Compared with the roughness of "Street Fighters 1", just watching "King of Fighters" advertisements can make people shine.

January 1, 1989.

Sakao Yamazaki is an ordinary junior high school student in Tokyo. His only hobbies are comics and games. 20 years later, such people are just a slaughter.

However, in this era, only staying at home and using game consoles cannot satisfy teenagers. Going to the game hall to play arcades is the king.

After school that day, Yamazaki Sakao came to the game hall where he visited every day as usual. Before entering the door, he saw the promotional photo of Athena of Mamiya. The playful and stupid image of Cute made him look at it twice, and he also remembered the game "The King of Fighters".

Savo Yamazaki's favorite games are "Red Fortress", "Contra" and "Street Fighter", especially "Street Fighter". Savo Yamazaki is very good at this fighting game. He is a fighting expert in this game hall.

Uncle Ishida, do you still have free flights?Yamazaki Sakao asked the game hall owner.

This game hall is not big, and the customers are the neighbors around. The owner Ishida is very familiar with Sakao Yamazaki and said enthusiastically: Sakao, today I have a new fighting game, I guarantee you will like it.

Fighting game?Yamazaki Sakao didn't understand.

The boss Ishida explained: It is the kind of kung fu battle game like "Street Fighter".

Oh, it's more fun than Street Fighter?Yamazaki Sakao became interested as soon as he heard this.

Boss Ishida said: I played it for a while and this new game is really great, but the operation is more complicated than "Street Fighter".

Then I'll try the new game.Yamazaki Sakao couldn't wait.

There are only 8 arcade machines in this small game hall and two slot machines, which are almost full at this time.

Most people are playing shooting games, and only one arcade screen shows a game that Yamazaki Savo had never seen before. The tight pictures and passionate sound effects have attracted many students to watch.

Yamazaki Sakao sat in front of the only remaining machine and soon entered the selection screen. The dense avatars of the characters made him dazzled.

However, Yamazaki Sakao soon discovered that most of the avatars of the characters were gray and could not be chosen. He curiously called the boss and asked: Uncle Ishida, why can't these characters be chosen?

Boss Ishida explained: This "King of Fighting" game is adapted from the latest comic of the same name by the author of "Crayon Shin-chan" and has a complete story background.It is still just the first generation of works, so you can only choose the characters that have appeared in the first part of the comic, and the optional characters will be gradually added in the future.

Sakao Yamazaki, who already likes to read comics, is very interested in the setting of "The King of Fighters". He asked the boss some common sense of game, and then he realized that this game is different from "Street Fighter", and he needs to choose three people to fight in a team.

Moreover, there are two modes when choosing a team. One is the fixed team mode. In this mode, the members of each team are fixed. They are a group in the comics; the other is the free matching mode, where players can match the team at will according to their preferences.

Finally, the boss Ishida simply brought a booklet for game strategies, which included introductions such as energy accumulation and aeration, as well as popular science for basic development.

After watching the game guide for a while, Yamazaki Sakao fell in love with this game before he could play it.

Hello, if you don’t play Ah, just give me the machine.Someone next to him said dissatisfiedly.

Oh, I want to play!Yamazaki Sakao quickly invested coins to select people.

In the fixed team mode, Yamazaki Sakao chose Kyo Kusanagi, Kyo Nikaido Hongemaru and Goro Omen in the front row, and began to clumsyly fight against the arcade.

Since it was the first time I came into contact with this game, Kyo Kusanagi and Kyojido Nikaido were quickly killed by the machine, but Sakao Yamazaki had slowly touched some tricks.

Wow, so awesome, so domineering!

Suddenly someone was amazed behind Yamazaki Sakov, but it was Yamazaki Sakov's operation Goro, who somehow swung the computer character up and smashed it hard.

After playing for half an hour, Yamazaki Sakao finally became familiar with the basic operations of the Japanese team, and even occasionally made combos. The gorgeous skill release screen attracted the surprise of onlookers.

Just a few days after "The King of Fighters" came out, all the players of "Street Fighters" were snatched away.

There is no way, both are fighting games, and "The King of Fighters" is so excellent that players know which one to choose as long as they are not stupid.

As more and more players master the game operation, the "King of Fighters" battles in the game hall often attract crowds of people, and the gorgeous ultimate moves can arouse the passion in the hearts of all male players.

Gradually, players in shooting games also began to play "The King of Fighters".

The final result is that in order to meet the players' requirements, the owner of the game hall has continuously increased the purchase of "King of Fighters" game motherboards.

At the beginning of New Year's Day in 1989, "The King of Fighters" blew a whirlwind in Japan, and the concept of fighting games was officially established.

With the popularity of the King of Fighters arcade, there are also more readers of the King of Fighters comics. The two complement each other and allow Sega Company, Kakugawa Bookstore and Kang Jianfei to make a lot of money.

As the official spokesperson of the King of Fighters game, Nanako Noguchi has also become the goddess in the hearts of countless game fans, and many agents and film and television companies have even extended olive branches to her.

After learning about this, Kang Jianfei told Nanako Noguchi not to continue signing long-term contracts with any company. If someone asked her to shoot an advertisement or a TV series, he could agree. Then he would naturally use sweet English to deceive the little beauty, making Nanako Noguchi, a young girl who was not very experienced, feel happy.

Xiang, the author of the "King of Fighters" comic, and the planning column of the "King of Fighters" game, both have Kang Jianfei's name printed on it. Only then did people remember that Kang Jianfei was the major shareholder of Sega.

There is no doubt that King of Fighters is a revolutionary game.It perfected and established the fighting game type. Based on the previous fighting games "Kung Fu" and "Street Fighter", it added elements such as team battles, charging, violence, combos, etc., which greatly enhanced the fun and playability of the fighting game... Thanks to Mr. Kang Jianfei, who is far away in Hong Kong, he is the author of the "King of Fighters" comic and the planner of the "King of Fighters" game. Without him, there would be no excellent "King of Fighters" game. Mr. Kang can be called the father of fighting games.
