Toshio Suzuki doesn't know what kind of manga Toshiyuki Araki will draw with this script, but he is certainly good enough.

Because this is Yin Jun's work.

Based on his experience at the helm of "Kirin Semi-Monthly" for several years, "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" is not popular, which is simply intolerable.

It's a pity that starting next month, he will no longer be the editor-in-chief of "Kirin Semi-Monthly", so he can't personally operate this comic into a classic.

The place he was going to was an animation studio founded by Yin Jun.

The name is a bit strange, it's called "Studio Ghibli".

Not only was the name chosen by Yin Jun himself, but even the signboard and logo of this studio were designed by Yin Jun himself - the cute Totoro logo, when he appeared in front of Toshio Suzuki, he seemed to have a very intimate feeling.

Not only him, but also the other two leaders of the studio, the two animators, also felt very familiar, as if they had seen these things somewhere a long time ago.

Studio Ghibli has a total of three directors.

The first is Toshio Suzuki, the representative of the director, who is in charge of all chores and planning, the use of funds, the deployment of personnel, and external relations.

The other two people are both acquaintances of Toshio Suzuki.

The first Takahata was also a friend of Toshio Suzuki for several years and was a very good animator and animator producer.

The other is also a talented person that Toshio Suzuki is very familiar with, his name is Hayao Miyazaki, "Valley of the Wind" is serialized in "Kirin Semi-Monthly", and it is a manga that Toshio Suzuki likes very much.

It was because of Toshio Suzuki's recommendation that Yin Jun "knew" about Hayao Miyazaki and was willing to invest to make "Valley of the Wind" appear on the big screen.

It's also a bit exaggerated to say that Yin Jun funded Hayao Miyazaki, so that he and Takahata and others could learn various animation production skills together, and now they have directly set up a studio and invested a full 1 billion yen to let Miyazaki, Takahata and Toshio Suzuki work together to produce "Valley of the Wind" in the name of the studio.

Studio Ghibli is not just Yin Jun's, Miyazaki, Takahata and Toshio Suzuki are all shareholders, each owning 5% of the shares.

As soon as they joined the studio, they each owned 5% of the shares, which is 50 million yen, which is undoubtedly a recognition.

In particular, these shares were still given by Yin Jun, which is even more precious.

Even people like Hayao Miyazaki, who don't care about anything, know that with the exception of a branch in the United States, Yin Jun almost never gives shares to others.

In particular, the Kirin culture, which he relied on, is 100% owned by him.

This kind of thinking is very normal in the East, after all, Oriental people have no habit of sharing.

The same was true when I went to the United States to make a big purchase in a few years.

Then they were severely taught by the Americans how to behave, and then they learned to cooperate with the Americans.

The only reason why Yin Jun is giving them shares now is that he naturally thinks they are worth it and worthy of this share.

In other words, Yin Jun also looks up to them and thinks they have this ability.

This is very important to Toshio Suzuki.

It was also for this reason that he quit his job as editor-in-chief of Kirin Semi-Monthly and willingly came to this Studio Ghibli, which had almost nothing.

In fact, as early as March and April, half of Toshio Suzuki's energy was focused on this Studio Ghibli.

He has to dig out animation production talents, he has to dig out operational talents, and computer experts...... Wait, none of this can be recruited by just talking.

What employees like most is to stay in a company for the rest of their lives, and if there is no big thing, you don't want to let them change jobs.

Fortunately, the animation industry is booming now, with animation studios opening everywhere, animation studios closing everywhere, and a lot of talent on the move.

Moreover, Toshio Suzuki is under the banner of "an animation studio exclusively founded by Mr. Yin Jun", so it is natural to attract a large number of talents.

This is also thanks to Toshio Suzuki, who has been a reporter before, knows the industry, and then worked as the editor-in-chief of "Kirin Semi-Monthly" for three or four years, so that he can find talents to poach.

Otherwise, it would be a bit wrongful to spend a lot of money and poach some people who are incapable or unsuitable.

Yin Jun's 1 billion yen was received in a one-time payment.

He first told Toshio Suzuki to buy a headquarters building next to the headquarters building of Kirin Semi-Monthly, and this fund cost 600 million yen.

The headquarters of Kirin Semi-Monthly is in Bunkyo District, and in March '81 it purchased a 1,500-square-meter five-story headquarters building, which happened to be exactly the same size as the current Studio Ghibli and built by the same construction company.

It's just that three years ago, it cost 400 million yen, but now it has skyrocketed by 50%, and it took 600 million yen to get it.

Of course, this business is all profitable.

It's only '84 now, and by the time the real estate bubble was at its worst in the 90s, the two buildings were worth at least 10 billion yen.

The remaining 400 million yen from Studio Ghibli was used to purchase various instruments and equipment, purchase office equipment, and daily expenses, in addition to the 200 million yen production fee promised by Yin Jun to Miyazaki.

In fact, after using it like this, basically Toshio Suzuki has only been in office for less than two months, and the funds available in his hands are only about 50 million yen.

If it weren't for the budget of "Valley of the Wind", which included the salaries of the employees, Toshio Suzuki would be thinking about whether to be ashamed to go to Yin Jun and let him invest a little more money.

Spending so much money, of course, is not without results.

At the beginning of May, Studio Ghibli was preparing for the preparation of "Valley of the Wind", and everything was already in place, just waiting for the team of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, so that they could actively devote themselves to the work.

Toshio Suzuki is not worried that Miyazaki will not be able to take on this heavy responsibility, since Yin Jun is very optimistic about this project, with Yin Jun's vision, it will not be wrong.

Moreover, Miyazaki was originally a talented person, which was also recognized by the Japanese industry.

The excellence of "Valley of the Wind" has also been verified by the majority of comic fans in recent years.

The difference is that everyone doesn't know how much Miyazaki can achieve!

At this time, Miyazaki, Takahata and others, who were worried about Toshio Suzuki, had already flown back from the United States.

Even in April, they had already gone to the Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio in Huhai to listen to the experience of Mr. Wan and Mr. Te.

Before returning to Xiangjiang, Yin Jun also came to Huhai to meet with them.

Takahata Xun, who is almost 50 years old, has the typical facial characteristics of Ri himself, and when he met Yin Jun for the first time, he also respected him very much.

Yes.

Takahata is very respectful of Yin Jun, and this is the reason for the achievement.

When a person's achievements reach a point where others can't reach, then the factor of age can be ignored.

"It's the first time I've met Mr. Takahata, but I've known him for a long time. Sitting on the sofa, Yin Jun said, "This time, I ask Mr. Takahata's work to take a lot of pain, and use your experience to help him grow." ”

"I will. Takahata said seriously.

In the previous few animated film productions, Miyazaki was an assistant to Isao Takahata, and now Miyazaki's first animated film, he also hopes that this big brother will help take the helm, which is a normal and safe approach.

In fact, there are many reasons why the works of Hayao Miyazaki in Studio Ghibli are so great.

In terms of specific production, Hayao Miyazaki is definitely unmatched, but in terms of the overall planning and editing of animated films, Takahata Xun also made great contributions.

In addition, in terms of fundraising, distribution and publicity, Toshio Suzuki's credit is also indelible, so Yin Jun followed the model of their previous life from the beginning.

A successful model, starting all over again, will also succeed.

"After Mr. Miyazaki's work, I hope that Mr. Takahata will be able to make a work of his own. Yin Jun continued, "Studio Ghibli is just a studio for two people to do animation, whether it's money, people, or other things, Mr. Suzuki will be ready for both of them." You just have to concentrate on making your own works, no matter the box office, no matter what the response is, as long as you put your heart into it. ”

"Great! Apu's talent is definitely even better than mine!" Hearing this, Miyazaki was not only not jealous, but happy.

Takahata himself was also surprised, he will turn 50 next year, although he made a masterpiece such as "The Young Girl of the Alps", but because he was too meticulous and serious, often regardless of the cost factor, so on the producer's side, it was not popular at all.

If it weren't for Miyazaki's invitation, he would have taken a back seat in the past two years.

But Takahata is very cautious, and after a little joy, he wonders what movie Yin Jun wants him to make.

Then Takahata Xun also asked directly.

"You're going to love it. Yin Jun smiled, "I already bought the film adaptation rights of "Grave of the Fireflies" and "Xiaoju and the Wolf" from Mr. Nosaka Akiru last year, you can make whichever one you want." ”

Hearing this, Takahata Xun's breathing immediately tightened, and his eyes also radiated light.

He has always liked Akiru Nosaka's works, but he hasn't told anyone else on weekdays, how can Yin Jun know that he will like it?

Is this the intuition of genius?

For a while, Takahata's admiration for Yin Jun unconsciously deepened.

Gao Hahata Xun naturally didn't know that Yin Jun was also pushing back the present from the future.

"Grave of the Fireflies" is an animated movie that is extremely cruel and not for children at all.

It belongs to reflection and repentance of war, and it is also a call for peace.

However, the process and ending of the story are too tragic and too tragic, so they are not very popular.

But this does not detract from its lofty status as a world-class animated film.

Takahata, who filmed it, spent a lot of time and effort to produce, and firmly controlled the meaning that Akiru Nosaka wanted to express, and he is a well-deserved animation master.

Similarly, this movie is also Japan's own repentance and reflection on the war, and Yin Jun is very happy to give Japan himself a wake-up call.

After accepting Miyazaki, Yin Jun thought of this movie when he heard that Miyazaki wanted Takahata to be the producer.

Then he entrusted Yasushi Tokuma to buy the film rights of "Grave of the Fireflies" and "Xiaoju and the Wolf".

"Chrysanthemum and the Wolf" and "Grave of the Fireflies" are both stories of the same genre.

In the previous life, "Little Chrysanthemum and the Wolf" was not the work of Takahata Xun, and in this life, Takahata Xun made it too, and the meaning that can be given and expressed will inevitably be more profound!
