414 The power of public opinion

"Qin Sang, long time no see."

"Morita Sang, how did you think of it recently?"

"Fortunately, I'm still busy."

After the greetings, Mori Tianhou pointed to the dining table and made a "invitation" gesture: "Let's have a meal and chat, how about it?"

Qin Han only ate one plane meal on the plane, and then slept in Las Vegas. Now he looked at the table of hearty food and was indeed a little hungry.

So he nodded and sat down without hesitation.

The two of them were eating and chatting, and the conversation mainly revolved around game production.

Morita Aki first asked Qin Han about the development progress of "Idol Master". This game is not only a limited-time exclusive for PS3 first release, but also a heavyweight project that cooperates with Sony Music. It is an important part of Nogizaka 46 idol project. As one of Sony's major shareholders, Morita Aki naturally needs to ask about it from time to time.

Nowadays, with the idol trend brought by AKB48, Nogizaka 46 is becoming more and more popular and has gradually grown into a money tree for Sony. Even if Atsushi Morita is not a Sony musician, he is still very concerned about this idol group.

"The 3D character model of the seven popular members, that is, the 3D character model of the Seven Fortune Gods, has been completed, and the motion capture and dubbing work is also in an orderly manner. As for the content of the gameplay, a performance customization system has been temporarily made. Players can create their own idol LIVE performance through this customization system."

"Oh, it sounds very interesting."

"My notebook contains a trial program. If Morita Sang is interested, you can try it yourself."

"Of course, I must give it a try." Morita Hou said enthusiastically while cutting the steak. "Originally, I was still a little worried that Terracotta Warriors and Horses Entertainment, which has no experience in 3D development, will delay the production progress. Now it seems that there is no big problem."

"The main reason is that Nogizaka 46 has not had many members, so our workload has been reduced a lot. If it is like the name of the group, there are 46 members, then it will be troublesome to make it." Qin Han joked.

Of course, the real reason for doing it smoothly is that although Terracotta Warriors Entertainment did not have experience in 3D game development before producing "Idol Master", he had a group of strong employees under his command. The project management of the Xinna Yuanhao COO was also done well. With Sony's technical support, even if he encountered various difficulties, he could solve them in time and keep up with the development schedule.

After chatting for a while, Qin Han mentioned the protesters he had seen at the hotel door before.

Although these boring extreme feminists have no effect on themselves, this kind of thing happened before the TGA award ceremony always made Qin Han feel that things might not be that simple.

Morita Atsushi is a member of the TGA committee, and perhaps he knows more than he is a foreigner who has just arrived in Las Vegas.

After listening to Qin Han’s previous experience, Sheng Tianhou was silent for a while before saying, “Qin Sang, maybe your intuition is right. Those protesters are probably not just expressing their social positions, that’s that simple. Terracotta Warriors and Horses Entertainment won three awards nominations at this TGA Awards Ceremony. You, the star producer, are already in a state of great attention.”

"It seems that someone has developed this trick to target me because of the TGA award?"

"It should be like this." Mori Tianhou shook his wine glass and analyzed to Qin Han, "But don't think this is just a trick. Since someone is targeting you for the TGA award, then the other party is prepared and planned. It is impossible to just let a few extreme feminists demonstrate and marches at the door of the hotel. There must be actions in the future. Moreover, the social public opinion environment in the United States is completely different from that in Japan. Countries like Japan and China are deeply influenced by Confucianism and emphasize pragmatism, so they are not attracted by social progress movements that sound high-end in Europe and the United States, but in fact they are useless."

Qin Han nodded and agreed.

The Hollywood female star who has a beautiful face, speaks everywhere and promotes feminism, and only knows how to talk, is not as good as one in ten thousand of the great man who shouts "Women can hold half the sky" and encourages women to actively participate in productive labor.

However, those social movements who only know how to talk can't afford it in East Asian society, but they have considerable voice in Europe and the United States.

The turmoil caused by Zoe Quinn and Qin Han’s verbal battle about feminism in games was only limited to the Internet and within the gaming circle.

However, this time, the TGA Awards Ceremony, as an annual event in the global gaming industry, has no longer limited to the gaming industry, and many mainstream media have also conducted reports on a considerable scale.

If you handle it carelessly, it will not only make Qin Han lose TGA awards, but will even make his reputation discredited, and then make Terracotta Warriors and Horses entertainment lose the entire European and American market.

Even Sony will terminate its cooperation with Qin and Han to take into account its reputation.

"There are quite a few people in Europe and the United States, um, let's call them liberal leftists, who always hold unrealistic fantasies, pay attention to LGBT (abbreviation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people), pay attention to race, feminist issues, and then beat everyone who doesn't agree with their own ideas into heresy and attack them. Is it ridiculous? Yes, it's indeed ridiculous. And what's more troublesome is that a considerable number of these liberal leftists are senior intellectuals, or practitioners of the media, entertainment industry, and high-tech clubs. They also have most of the social discourse power."

Morita Yuki took his fingers and listed the major American media one by one: "CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS... except FOX, they are all liberal left-wing media."

"It seems that those who are targeting me are indeed very smart, trying to use the most powerful public opinion force in the United States to attack me." Qin Han said.

Seeing that Qin Han did not express his panic, Mori Tianhou praised the young man's psychological quality in his heart. At the same time, he was worried that he would not have enough experience and was caught and criticized by the media for a moment of aphasia.

He said: "We who make games belong to the entertainment media industry, and are naturally the focus of public attention and should be more cautious. Before the TGA awards ceremony, Qin Sang, you'd better not accept media interviews."
