After sending off Square Enix's two names, Miyahara immediately threw the plan book that she was holding as a sunflower treasure book on the table. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then he crossed his hands and began to imitate Commander Ikari with a blank face.

"Jing, are you really going to inject the same amount of money into them?" After being silent for a while, Jun Miyahara asked, this is a very important matter, and she wants to know her brother's attitude.

"Of course not," Miyahara pointed to the proposal on the table with her chin, and then continued, "In ten days and half a month, I will return the proposal to them, and then reject their investment request." ”

He actually wondered why Square Enix was eyeing the Hibiscus Society, was he so conspicuous on his side?

The reason is actually very simple, as a comic book publishing house, the Hibiscus Society is not fat or thin, neither big nor small, and the development momentum is good, so for Square Enix who wants to get involved in comic publishing, it is just right, and more importantly, the financial situation of the Hibiscus Society is really not good, in fact, the Hibiscus Society opened a juvenile comic at this time, which is a bit of a blind expansion.

But isn't this a godsend for Square Enix?

Instead of creating a publishing house from scratch, where is the simplicity of acquisition, after all, Square Enix is not short of money.

"But if you refuse them like this, will it cause any trouble? If they can't get the shares of Hibiscus through formal channels, will they choose other ways? Jun Miyahara said with some concern.

The only thing that should be fortunate now is that all the shares of Hibiscus Society are now owned by Yu Miyahara, which is 100% independent, and the other party has no way to play tricks on shareholders.

"There may be trouble, but there is no way to do it, and the trouble now is much better than bringing in this kind of guy who eats people and doesn't spit out bones."

The new year has just begun, and the new magazine has just been released, and when it comes to such a bad thing, Miyahara Jing is also in a bad mood.

But it also reminded him that he had to get some money before more people were eyeing the club - in fact, as long as it survived this year, the club wouldn't be bothered by money.

In terms of comics, he didn't want to sacrifice a big killer like Pokemon so quickly, but considering the current sudden situation, he decided to withdraw a shonen manga and let Pokemon top.

In his original plan, he wanted to make Pokemon a work similar to Shueisha's Kameari Police Station, with the century as the serial cycle, and then it could carry the feelings of generations of readers who like manga, but now this plan has to be mentioned.

"Money, money, ......" Miyahara muttered to herself, a penny may not be able to stump a hero, but what about 100 million, what about a billion?

I can't really do anything without money.

"Jing, will Sony Entertainment have the same idea that afternoon?" Jun Miyahara said again, she spoke today with a little bit of discomfort.

Hearing her sister's reminder, Miyahara Jing's brows furrowed again, Sony is the real company between Niu A and Niu C, this is a behemoth that can influence the political arena of Japan and ---, if it is against Sony...... Well, Miyahara would rather have a hard fight with Shueisha than be an enemy of Sony.

"No", after thinking about it for a while, Miyahara Jing gave her own answer, "It's Sony Pictures Entertainment that made an appointment with us, and if they have the same purpose as Square Enix, at least they won't let this subsidiary come forward." ”

Although he was a little worried about Sony's arrival, Miyahara did not mess with himself, and the reasons he gave were sufficient.

"It's useless to worry, we'll know what they're up to when they come here in the afternoon."

At noon, the two of them didn't go home, but just ordered some takeout at the Hibiscus Society.

Soon, the time to meet Sony arrived.

Just when the two of them were preparing to deal with Sony's pressure with all their might, they didn't expect that the person from Sony was actually a tall foreigner, and he brought good news.

Michael Kennedy, that's his name.

He's an American.

He is a producer in Hollywood.

It would be accurate to say that he was neither a Sony man nor a Sony Entertainment man, but a producer at Sony Columbia Pictures.

Columbia Pictures, one of Hollywood's eight largest studios, has long since been acquired by Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Michael, he doesn't speak Japanese, and Miyahara's English is average, but fortunately, Miyahara Jun is a top student, and she can speak fluent American English.

This is one of the reasons why she insisted on accompanying Yuichi Miyahara to the United States in the past few months.

Note that Sister Chun speaks American English, and in Japanese ---, people who can speak English with a pure accent are rarer than koalas who can do kung fu.

Through his sister's translation, Miyahara Shizune soon understood his purpose.

Michael is now a representative of Columbia Pictures, and their goal is to win the film adaptation rights for the ancient city of Thorns.

"You want to make a B-grade movie?" Miyahara Jing immediately asked, the ancient city of the King of Thorns can indeed be adapted into a low-budget thriller horror movie.

"If it was just a B-grade movie, I wouldn't have come here from the United States." Michael's face was wrinkled, so he laughed a little ghostly.

It is said that these white people with high jaws and deep eye sockets are prone to loose skin once they get old, which more or less makes people look a little unaccustomed.

At this time, his smile made Jun Miyahara on the side unconsciously take a step back.

"It's not a B-grade movie, it's a big production." As he spoke, Michael spread his arms and made an exaggerated circle.

"Big production?"

Shizune Miyahara is asking how big the so-called big production is.

"The total investment is between $65 million and $80 million."

It didn't work out, it really didn't work out, Michael really gave a big number.

You must know that at this time, the dollar is still relatively valuable, and the film investment will not be as expensive as it will be ten years later, which is definitely a big investment.

The ancient city of the King of Thorns is not bright in the east, but the west is bright? This made Miyahara Jing both happy and surprised, knowing that he didn't plan to sell a single book of the ancient city, but had to wait until it was serialized and directly released a bound collection, because he knew that this work would be difficult to sell sales.

I don't know where Colombia got to know about this work, but it's good news.

The ancient city of the King of Thorns is a wonderful story, but why can't its comics sell? Animated movies can't sell at the box office?

It's very simple, one is that this kind of comic theme is niche after all, and the other is that it is a European-American story.

Thinking about it this way, it is really feasible to change it into a movie.

ps: Cultural barriers do exist, why Aunt Niu's steel refining often takes the first place in various Japanese comic rankings in Europe and the United States, one of the factors is that it is dressed in an alchemist's skin.

Speaking of a world-class masterpiece Don Quixote, no matter how well it is translated, it is difficult for us to understand its greatness, because we do not have that kind of knightly culture.

Thank you for the reward of Rao Suri's life.
