Chương 127: Chapter 127: The God of Backdoor Games - Part 2
As a book person, playing American music in the traditional performance area, aren't you afraid of being criticized?
Ethan, full of curiosity, wanted to applaud for his courage.
After the man finished playing a piece, Ethan took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out two twenty-dollar bills, and placed them in his guitar case.
His actions received continuous thanks from the man, "Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you for your generosity!"
Although his choice of words was fine, Ethan couldn't help but laugh at the bookish flavor in his speech.
"Oh, no need to be polite," Ethan waved his hand.
Since his sister was still watching the performance, Ethan struck up a conversation with the man, "If I heard correctly, you just played bluegrass, right?"
"Yeah!" The man nodded and said, "Bluegrass music, Doc Watson's tracks."
Doc Watson was a master of American country folk music.
In Ethan's previous life, he was hailed as one of the greatest guitarists of the late 20th century in the American music scene.
He also won the Grammy Award for Best Ethnic or Traditional Recording for two consecutive years in 1973 and 1974.
Although Ethan hadn't heard his songs, he knew about him, so after the man nodded, Ethan gave him a thumbs up and said, "I play a bit of guitar too, so I know you're great."
This compliment made the Asian man shyly smile.
"Sir, thank you for your praise."
After a brief chat, Ethan found that this guy had a reserved personality.
Whatever Ethan asked, he answered, and when Ethan praised him, he nodded and smiled, not showing much enthusiasm.
This kind of personality was really boring.
Just as Ethan was about to end this dull conversation and turn to find his sister, a loud shout suddenly entered his ears.
It was in Japanese, and Ethan didn't understand.
When the middle-aged man who made the noise rushed to Ethan, he found Ethan talking to the man. He bowed and apologized, "Sumimasen..."
Ethan understood this sentence.
The middle-aged intruder felt something was wrong and quickly corrected himself, "Sorry, sir."
"It's okay." Ethan wasn't bothered by the interruption.
At the same time, he also realized that the sudden appearance of the middle-aged man and the guitar man were obviously together.
Since they were friends, Ethan felt a bit like an outsider.
Before he could express that he wouldn't disturb them anymore, another voice reached him.
"Oh, Ethan—I knew I would find you here—"
Turning his head, well, how did Hiroshi Yamauchi come here?
Seemingly sensing Ethan's confusion, but more like being happy after signing a contract, Hiroshi Yamauchi approached Ethan and half-jokingly explained the reason for his visit.
"Don't worry, I absolutely didn't mean to track you."
"After you left, an old friend of mine came to the company, saying he wanted me to help arrange a job for his son at Nintendo."
"For me, this kind of thing is not a big problem, so I said if it's convenient, we'll meet first, and then my friend told me his son should be performing here."
"When I heard Gion, I thought of you might be here, so I decided to come along. It's best to see you, and if not, it's just fate."
While talking, he also pointed a finger towards the middle-aged man who had shouted earlier.
And when Ethan followed Hiroshi Yamauchi's finger to look, the young man who had played bluegrass music was now taking off his sunglasses and hat under the middle-aged man's scolding.
When the things covering his identity disappeared, Ethan almost jumped up at the sight of his handsome face!
Damn!
The guy he had been chatting with for half a day turned out to be Shigeru Miyamoto!
In the current world, the guy hailed as the god of games in the book, Ethan felt really unlucky. He came to the book world and ended up meeting all four Nintendo legends.
But Hiroshi Yamauchi's words also made him curious because in his memory, Shigeru Miyamoto wasn't a second-generation!
And under his subtle questioning, Hiroshi Yamauchi revealed the truth.
"What does he do? Oh, he's just an ordinary English teacher."
"As for when we met... Oh, he's a friend I made decades ago."
"I didn't grow up with my parents because they divorced when I was very young. My mother, for personal reasons, lived with my aunt for a long time, so my childhood was spent with my grandparents."
"Because my grandfather personally built Nintendo, created an empire of Hanafuda cards, and he hoped I could take over for him, continue the glory of Nintendo, so when I was young, he made special demands on me in various ways, hoping I could live according to his way."
"But I didn't like it. The young me just wanted a simple life, so I ran away from home and interacted with people outside."
"And Shigeru Miyamoto's father is the one I met at that time."
"We played well together because I wanted to play, and he played along."
"So... even when I returned to Nintendo, we still kept in touch..."
Buzz...
This history made Ethan feel deeply moved.
He never expected that the tyrant of Nintendo would actually cherish a friendship.
He also didn't expect that the legendary god of games would enter Nintendo through the back door!
Looking at the nervous face of Shigeru Miyamoto, who bowed to Hiroshi Yamauchi, witnessing history once again, Ethan shook his head.
What a trivial matter!
How could Hiroshi Yamauchi attract talents like a chosen one! The world is too unfair!
Sour grapes!
Note:
Shigeru Miyamoto did enter Nintendo through the back door. Or you could say, he couldn't find a job in that era. He didn't study in college, just went out to play, and loved playing guitar like The Beatles.
Hiroshi Yamauchi's father is also a son-in-law, who left because he couldn't stand the old Yamane's discipline. Finding a son-in-law is common in the book, and adopting a son-in-law is a characteristic of the book.
