When it comes to sci-fi keywords such as Gundam, robots, war, and grudges, the ones that come to mind are generally "Mobile Suit Gundam", "Space Battleship Yamato", and "New World Evangelion", alias "EVA".

Mobile Suit Gundam first appeared to the public in the spring of 1979, and with the boom of the Gundam series, Yuki Tomino's name was also known to many Gundam fans, and two periods of prosperity in Japanese animation were related to this name, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he participated in saving Japanese animation twice.

Before Yuki Tomino, the leader of an era was Japan's most famous master Osamu Tezuka, twenty years after he faded out of the animation industry, the leading figures of Japanese animation appeared are related to this master, or influenced by his style or studied under his name, he is also known as the "father of Japanese animation", his representative works are "Astro Boy", "Strange Doctor Black Jack", etc., and created the world's first shoujo story manga "Sapphire Prince".

Before working in the animation industry, Osamu Tezuka was a medical doctor who was influenced by Chinese and American animation since he was a child, so his early comics had a shadow of beauty, but he didn't want to stop there, he pushed the old and new, combining the style of the Wan brothers with Paramount's skill in background, and then blending some of the best divisions of his own country to create his unique personal style, with which he became a leading figure in Japanese manga at the age of 22.

The Japanese media commented that he "influenced a century", "was born in the same era as him is the sorrow of all masters", "the father of Japanese animation", and "one of the characters who have had the greatest influence on animation in the world".

Yuki Tomino is one of his protégés.

At the age of 21, he began his animation career at the age of 21 when he joined Insect Pro, which was founded by Osamu Tezuka, and in his early days as an animate, he participated in the production of two of the three major sci-fi animations.

In the second year of entering Bug Pro, he began to participate in the production of "Astro Boy", and engaged in storyboards, scripts, etc., which laid a solid foundation for his future. Later, he also participated in the production of the ancestor-level work "Space Battleship Yamato", and in this era he has his own unique personal style, that is, eclecticism. After this, "The Invincible Superman Zambo 3" gave him a good basis for cooperation with Sunrise, and his ability as an overseer was recognized by Sunrise, also known as Sunrise Animation.

Gundam 0079 was released in '79 with the cooperation of Yuki Tomino, Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, Kunio Ogawara, and others. The work achieved a high rating of 25% and an average rating of more than 10%, and at the request of many enthusiasts, it was replayed several times shortly after its premiere, and the popularity of the GUNPLA expanded to a wider age group, and when the anime was turned into a movie, it won the highest box office in the Gundam series, and it was also the most popular work in the Gundam series.

At this time in the animation industry, Osamu Tezuka basically retreated into the background, and the masters of his contemporaries were basically boiled to death or retired by Osamu Tezuka, so during this period, Yuki Tomino can be said to be one of the brightest stars in the animation industry.

After that, Gundam's explosive popularity continued to grow until the early 90s, the biggest upheaval in the Japanese animation industry in nearly three decades.

Speaking of this turmoil, we have to mention Hideaki Anno as a person who was one of the central figures who brought Japan out of this turmoil, and these two men single-handedly put an end to the turmoil in the animation industry and really pushed it to the top.

A group of young people who love animation founded GAINAX, a unique animation company. At the beginning of the creation, they independently tried to make the experimental film of "Wang Li Space Army", and then brought in the investment of Bandai, a large model company at that time, and with the efforts of a group of people attracted by the righteousness, dreams, and future of their buddies, they made a bold innovation in traditional animation, which was different from the theatrical version full of various beautiful girl transformations and giant robots at that time, and this work is closer to reality.

The pride of this work is its meticulous level of production, from the movement of parts to the take-off of the body, every process is meticulously detailed. The disadvantage is that the plot is simple and the pace is slow, which is criticized.

As soon as this money-burning work was released, it suffered a box office fiasco. Because the budget was more than doubled, Bandai lost more than 100 million yen because it could not recover its investment. At this time, G Society originally planned to go their separate ways after finishing this work, but the box office fiasco made these fledgling young people heavily in debt, but I have to thank this huge debt, if there is no money, these young people who have dreams but are hit head-on may go their separate ways.

Bad news one after another.

Because of the failure of "Wang Li's Space Army", investors were discouraged from attracting investment from G Company, and the following year was even more difficult.

The animation project of "Sapphire Mystery" was proposed by the Japan Broadcasting Association, and then NHK contracted this work to Vision, a private company, and then passed through Toho, GroupTac, and finally it was the turn of G Company, and the production cost under the layers of exploitation was pitiful, so strictly speaking, this work should be regarded as an original work of G Company, and it has little to do with the previous NHK project, and this is also an important factor in its success. But this "never such a lucrative work" has nothing to do with G Society, except for the pitiful production costs, they have nothing to return, and the most important thing is that most of this poor production costs also go into the pockets of the bank and Bandai.

After that, G Company brought in a few small investments, and in order to repay the money, they exhausted their efforts, at this stage, Hideaki Anno and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and others suffered from debt collection, so they discovered the truth that "you can't put your eggs in one basket".

They started to value copyright.

G Company was one of the few people in this period who dared to work original animation.

In 94 for "EVA" to attract investment, they attracted a large number of investors to set up a production committee system, and the so-called production committee system is to seek investment from a number of investors, and finally according to the amount of investment to get the income, there is money everyone to earn, loss to everyone share, there will be no loss to the possibility of being pants, reduce the risk of investors, but also can restrain a single investor to point fingers, and can protect the copyright that has never been cherished before.

The investment of nearly one billion yen in the first phase was sold out after only 6 episodes, and then Hideaki Anno brought in a lot of investors to inject capital, and this is one of the reasons why the long still shot appeared at the end, not what the public explained, but simply no money.

Gundam has been in this world for twenty years, and even if Wang Ming wants to intervene, he can't make any money, so his goal this time is "EVA", and he urgently needs this work to implement the human circle money plan.

But now he doesn't have enough money!

In other words, 2 billion yen in 95 years will be at least equal to 50 million yuan, according to purchasing power, this money is not a big problem to increase tenfold today, new technological innovation, production cycle, character design, labor wages are all counted, saving half of the cost is not a problem, then it is 200 million.

Wang Ming can't get this money now, he doesn't want to engage in the production committee system of Nalaoshzi, and the other party's call for submissions is until April next year, so there is no need to be in such a hurry for the time being, you can wait until the first income of "Fate zero" is returned, and then consider the issue of "EVA".
