Although virtual reality VR is a hot spot in the early years, the real use of VR to achieve entertainment functions is also a thing after the popularization of VR devices in recent years. Home VR devices often encounter an investment, and anecdotes of “grazing” for several months. So VR only need to experience the idea of not having to buy home, and many people agree that Japan’s VR ZONE facility is such a VR amusement park. Of course, VR ZONE attracts domestic users not just VR, but also many animations. The VR experience created by the theme of the game is the place where fans are yearning for

At the ChinaJoy scene, you can experience “Up to VR Odaiba Attack” and “Up to Unicorn VR Fighting Over Odaiba”. These two facilities are actually similar in content and process, but only corresponding up to The body is different, the player encounters an attack in front of the squad in the squad, and then the upright image is activated, and the player sits on his palm and lifts up to deal with the enemy’s attack. The virtual eye mask used in the VR experience, some players may have seen it in the HTC booth of Hall E, but want to be immersed, the computer vibration and the breeze controlled by the computer can only be experienced in VR SPACE, the final landing process, deceived the brain, extremely real

ChinaJoy2019 The scene was unveiled, and the VR ZONE, which is fascinated by the vast majority, will land in Beijing this year. Mr. Yamada invites everyone to look forward to it. As for why the first store will be selected in Beijing, Mr. Yamada replied because there is a partner in Beijing to explore. This business model, all kinds of opportunities collide, so the first domestic VR ZONE will be opened in Beijing.

It is expected that Bandai Nanmeng will continue to promote the development of amusement facilities in China in the future

“Mobile Suit Gundam NT” two or three things

Since it is said that “Mobile Suit Gundam”, it has to mention the “Mobile Suit Gundam NT” released in China in July. Unlike some pessimistic fans, Mr. Yamada’s evaluation of this release is quite positive as a person responsible for the release of the film. He admits that the “Mobile Suit Gundam” series has celebrated its 40th anniversary this year. In the past 40 years, several theatrical films have been produced. These works have never been officially released in mainland China. The establishment of Risheng (Shanghai) cooperates with Bandai South. Dream Palace (Shanghai) has been entertaining for the first time, and things that have not been realized for 40 years have been realized for the first time.

To account for about 52%, the impression that “Mobile Suit Gundam” has always been for male audiences, it seems that many girls will like it. In addition, “Mobile Suit Gundam NT” was released, the income is not only the box office income of the movie, “Mobile Suit Gundam NT” was released on July 12th, Chinese fans’ attention and enthusiasm for Gundam broke out at once. This part of the user, Bandai Nanmeng Palace will launch a number of related peripherals, assembly models and other products, while mobile games are also followed up. After watching “Mobile Suit Gundam NT”, users will be more involved in the special event to commemorate the film release in the “Dare to Fight” show. In the two or three weeks from July 12, probably the enthusiasm of China for Gundam is quite high. It may be that in China, Japan produces products sold in Japan, and there are very many cases in which it is sold in China. It is probably basically in this form. In the future, with the opportunity of “Mobile Suit Gundam NT”, the products developed and produced in China will be greatly increased for Chinese users. The audience’s comments and suggestions on the film will greatly help the company. This will be a great one. Challenge

When asked if the online store sales reached the expected level, Mr. Yamada outlined the development process of [Wandai Nanmeng Palace Entertainment Flagship Store]. At the beginning, he could sell very few products, and his popularity was not high. He struggled for a while. After several months of development, probably in the last month, the types of goods are also very rich, and the popularity has also started. Not only sales, but also the number of customers who come to the store has grown considerably. This is the effort of employees. The result of struggle

When asked what kind of product he likes the most, Mr. Yamada recommended the surrounding products of “Mobile Suit Gundam NT”, such as Phoenix Backpack, which is designed for Chinese users

PAC-MAN, “HOW OLD ARE YOU?” (How old is you).

Women are coming to the hand, “Yueye Heaven.” 》? !

Now looking back at the mobile game launched by Bandai Nanmeng in China in the past four years, we will find that there is no rhythm game for female users. It is well known that housewives are far superior to male compatriots in both consumption and mobility. The popularity of this kind of rhythm game is also obvious to all. Bandai Nanmeng Palace has launched many types of games in Japan, and many female users are looking forward to their favorite characters to be listed in China. Now in Japan for two years, the content covers the animation, songs, stage plays and other multimedia “Yueye Paradise. “Sneaked out at the scene of ChinaJoy

Mr. Yamada revealed, “Yueye Paradise. The development of the national bank version has been basically completed, and is currently undergoing relevant online procedures, and in order to ensure users, for “Yueye Paradise.” “This game, Mr. Yamada hopes to cooperate with the platform with many secondary users, and promote “Yueye Paradise” on these platforms. “ Is a very important part. As for why I chose “Yueye Paradise.” “It is an intuition to play the first national women’s rhythm game as the first entertainment of Bandai Nanmeng Palace (Shanghai). If this time, I will be able to put “Yueye Heaven.” The charm of “present” to Chinese users, it will be a good start, “Yueye Paradise. “The related animations, songs, etc. have been developed in China

“月野天堂. “, there is really a scene.

Finally, about Bandai Nanmeng Palace (Shanghai) mutual entertainment original IP “Dark World God”, from novels, radio dramas, animations all the way, although the background setting is eccentric, but the love and hate of the two actor is obviously It is prepared for the majority of female audiences. On the live stage of ChinaJoy, Bandai Nanmeng Palace (Shanghai) also visited the newly-popular artists He Junxiong, Lin Zijie and Chen Zexin to sing the theme song, first ensuring a group of fans. At the same time, please contact Kamiya Hiroshi and Fukuyama Jun as the voices of the animated Japanese version of the main characters, Jiang Yan and Yan. Mr. Yamada admits that the Japanese seiyuu is used to better serve the domestic audience

For Mr. Yamada, Mr. Yamada said that the company is good at making interesting IP. This is a big premise. On top of this is multimedia operation, which fully exploits the charm of this IP, so it is not dark. The animation will be on the line, but the animation will be online. At the same time, the launch of other content can keep up. For example, this time there is a seiyuu activity on the live booth. Now the animation has not been online, and related products have been launched. The novel has already produced radio dramas in the process of creation, so try all kinds of ways to make the value of the works. If the user is not sensitive to the novel, then there are animations to show him; the story is complicated but the role Very handsome, then you can pay attention to the periphery of the character, just like such a work has a variety of ways to enjoy, “Dark God” is to try to do such an attempt. In addition to the “Dark World”, more IP will be introduced in the future. The strength of Bandai Nanmeng is to play the charm of IP and the cultivation of IP


“Dark World Gods” “men and women take all”.

End.

Compared with four years ago, Bandai Nanmeng Palace has put on new projects such as toys and amusement equipment on the basis of maintaining the mobile game business. The entertainment products that were previously difficult to enjoy have also entered the Chinese player’s tentacles. And the scope. Players are accustomed to taking foreign games and foreign products directly to domestic use. Perhaps this is just a difficult mentality in the past, and the psychological shadow left behind, starting from IP, developing games and peripherals that are more suitable for Chinese players. This is the necessary condition for a win-win situation in scientific development. After four and a half years of development, the results are obvious to all. The executives and employees of Bandai Nanmeng Palace (China) and its subsidiaries are working hard to convey “dreams, entertainment, and moving” to users today
