Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 435 Capcom

   "It's my turn, you go away."

   "What's your turn, I still have coins, be careful I beat you."

   Ronald blurred to see two boys fighting over an arcade game console.

  The older boy threatened the first boy with his fist.

   A copper coin was stuffed into the coin slot of the arcade machine. "Du Luo", a crisp sound, indicating that the boy has started another round.

   A large logo appeared on the arcade screen, Capcom. Below is the game name of Final Fight. A bad guy called and the subtitles said he had kidnapped a singer.

   "Doubles," said the younger boy, throwing in a copper coin as well.

   Another "dulo" sound, and the arcade screen jumped to the avatars of three people, which was the part of selecting people.

   "Then you choose red clothes, I choose white clothes."

"All right."

   It seems that the characters in white clothes are easier to play, and the two also split it up a bit.

   A character wearing a white T-shirt and jeans with a blood bar that says Cody to the left. The other character is dressed in red with Guy written to the left of the health bar.

  The arcade screen went dark, and when it turned on again, two protagonists, one white and one red, appeared on the left.

   "Hey, what game is this? It seems very fun." On the arcade machine Ronald dreamed of, there was a street scene with a lot of gasoline barrels in the middle and two protagonists on the left.

   A very big villain is on the right side of the screen, holding a red-clothed beauty in his hand, and is laughing proudly.

   "Ha, ha ha ha" A rude laughter came from the speaker of the arcade machine.

   "Hey, there's dubbing?" Although it's not perfect, Ronald felt that the game was very advanced.

"Yeah, Uncle!" The two protagonists shouted in unison, and each used a unique trick. A whirlwind kick kicked and exploded the gasoline barrel that was blocked in the middle. Then the two chased the bad guy holding the beautiful woman to the chase before.

   "Ahhh..." A few scoundrels were beaten by the protagonist, and then, not knowing what trick the boy used, he threw the villain back and fell to the ground to die.

   "This game is fun." Ronald was very excited. Isn't this Cody the protagonist of "Rage Streets"? The cover of the red dress seems to be the Chinese character he casually said.

   The last big man undrafted. Ronald guessed that this was probably the original McCoy in the script, who was replaced by a woman in the director's role.

   Several villains were cleaned up, the two protagonists walked into the subway and chased to the last warehouse, the villain who stole the beauty in red came out and broke the door of the warehouse.

   "Wait a minute, I'll eat this dagger." The boy who operated the Cody boy in white asked him to keep a dagger for himself.

   "Why?"

   "You don't understand, those in white clothes can eat daggers in their hands, while those in red clothes can throw knives."

"Oh……"

   Ronald's heart moved, isn't this the butterfly knife that the actor Michael Parr always played with? It seems that this game must have been adapted from "Rage Street", and the restoration is so good.

   The two boys fought for a while and beat the bad guy to death. But the girl in red did not appear. After a few lines of subtitles, the two walked to the right side of the screen and entered the next level.

   "Ha, there are still levels?" Ronald felt that this dream was worthwhile, but he never thought that the arcade games in the future would be so interesting.

  The two protagonists walked out of the subway and came directly to a ring. In the ring, a villain wearing eastern style armor, holding two Japanese swords, the attack power is very amazing, three or two blows, killing two of the two boys' protagonists' lives.

   "Hey, this game is really difficult." Ronald also sighed in the dream.

After a blur of   , it seemed that Ronald had come to another arcade, and the two boys had grown up quite a bit.

   "Here's a new game called Cadillacs and Dinosaurs", let me teach you how to play it.

  The two boys seem to have become friends and cooperated to play this kind of clearance game.

   "Okay." Another boy tossed in two copper coins.

   "Huh?" Ronald found that this time the game machine had three seats, which could be used by three people to play together. more and more advanced.

  The two boys began to choose people. This time, in addition to the man in white and a big man who practiced wrestling, there was also a black man in green clothes and a yellow baseball cap, and a woman.

   It seems that this game is also based on "Rage Street"? Ronald thought.

   It is the old-fashioned confrontation with the enemy. This time the boy chose two men in green clothes and white clothes, and it was another trick to smash the gasoline cans.

   "You can press the joystick forward twice to run." A boy was teaching.

   "Huh?" Ronald kicked the bad guy to death after seeing them running, and also kicked a gasoline can. A shotgun appeared on the ground.

   "You can pick it up and play"

  The boy walked over to pick up the shotgun at the prompt, and shot it at a bad guy who came over on a motorcycle.

   "Boom" The motorcycle was broken into pieces.

   "There really is something like that." Ronald remembered what producer Joel Silver told himself about Cody's camera setup, where he blows up a motorcycle with a shotgun.

  The two kept advancing, and at the end of the first level, a dinosaur was chained to the ground. A bad guy came and punched the dinosaur twice. The dinosaur turned from green to violent yellow and began to bite the protagonist.

   "Shoot," cried a boy.

   "Okay", the other boy fired a few shots at the dinosaur, making it green again.

   "This dinosaur is also interesting, but it's not a plot in 'Rage Streets'." Ronald thought.

  The two boys progressed through quite a few scenes, and at the end of the second level they were hacked to death by a butcher with two machetes.

  The two of them had no extra copper coins, so they had to leave angrily.

   Ronald saw the Capcom logo again on the arcade screen.

   "The games from this company are so fun, I want to buy their shares." Ronald woke up from his dream in a hurry.

   "Huh", Ronald wiped his sweat, it was a long time before dawn, he quickly turned on the lamp, took out a notebook, wrote down the name of Capcom, and asked the accountant Lawrence later.

  …

"I checked all the listed companies, but there is no name of this company. Are you sure it is Capcom? Is the spelling correct?" Come and call Ronald to report the results.

   "Well, maybe it's not an American company? I think there are many companies in Dongying that are also producing arcade games?"

   "Dongying Enterprise? There is a game console company called Nintendo. Their home game consoles have just entered the American market. I heard that they are much more fun than Atari."

   "Is that so? Let me see if I can buy their shares." Ronald thought that Capcom could not find it, but there are game companies in Dongying that can also look.

   "Richard, I heard that a Dongying game console is on the market, how about it? Can you buy two for me?" Ronald called his agent again.

   "Are you talking about Nintendo? Let me record it for you that CAA is preparing to purchase a batch for customers as gifts for children."

   "What, is that game console fun?"

"It's all those arcade donkey Kong, little bee stuff, nothing new. You know, that 'ET alien' at Atari sucks, it's shrinking the home console market in America. . Fortunately, on this Nintendo, you can play the original arcade games, so the kids still love it.”

   "Huh? No way?" Ronald didn't expect the game based on Spielberg's film to be so bad that it had already affected the sales of game consoles.

   "It's very bad. I heard that they spent a lot of money on the licenses, but they made them shoddy. They also produced more game cartridges than the number of Atari game consoles on the market. I heard that they will be thrown into the desert and destroyed."

   "Okay", Ronald hurriedly called the accountant Lawrence.

   "Lawrence, stop buying Nintendo stock. I heard the console market is crashing."

   "I was about to call you too. The stockbroker found out that Nintendo is a listed company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, but he also strongly discouraged me from buying it. Now the game console market is collapsing."

  The two talked about the investment arrangement for a while, and Ronald was about to hang up.

   "That's right, Ronald. Do you remember the last time you donated money to that racist victim, Chen Guoren?"

   Ronald remembered the Detroit Chinese youth who was regarded as an Eastern Ying and was beaten to death by two white men with a baseball bat, "Remember, is his case going to trial?"

"Yes, the Justice Citizens League of America, formed by our Chinese-American lawyers, is ready to promote vicious violence against racial discrimination to prosecute the two defendants. Because the District Attorney in Detroit is still only willing to prosecute for second-degree murder. So we need more donations, Pressure the prosecution at the federal level and in the media."

"Okay, donate another thousand dollars to the Justice Citizens League of America in my name." Ronald felt that this Chinese tragedy did not receive a notarial trial. If a Chinese killed a white man, it must be a first-class Murder started.

   Just do your best for the Chinese identity of the previous life.

   "Okay, thank you, Ronald." Lawrence kept thanking over the phone. Born in New York's Chinatown, he still works hard to help this kind of injustice to the Chinese.
