Chapter 105: First Meeting
If you want to travel to Japan alone, then you need to provide a lot of documents such as proof of income, proof of employment, etc., when you get a visa, and if you don't have these, you can only go with a group, wander around under the guidance of a guide, and then come back.
Zhang Qiuxi's visit to Japan this time is of a work nature, and she is also applying for a work visa, and her fame and Jonathan, who has visa-free treatment, are OK in front of the visa officer. The embassy did not check with Kawasaki Bookstore and stamped her passport.
A few hours later, Zhang Qiuxi landed at Tokyo's Narita Airport, and the first thing he did when he got off the plane was to find a hotel to stay in, all of which were done by Jonathan, an enthusiastic part-time director. With Jonathan, who claims to be a gentleman, there is no need to worry about this kind of trivial matter at all, and it is OK to accept the arrangement comfortably.
Kawasaki Shoten was founded in the 50s by the late Kenjiro Kawasaki, a famous Japanese scholar, and has published many academic works in addition to manga and light novels, and has since ventured into print media, film, and other fields. In the customary parlance of the Celestial Empire, Kawasaki Shoten is already a large group, and their official name is Kawasaki Shoten Co., Ltd
Although it is a private group named after the surname, the current president has nothing to do with the surname Kawasaki, and his name is Genyi Fukuda.
"Mr. Jonathan, it is said that although the Japanese have a meeting with a serious person, there are always people under the table touching the thighs of girls, isn't that true?" On the way to the Kawasaki bookstore, Zhang Qiuxi was also full of curiosity about the country, and even looked at the buildings outside the car window when he spoke.
Jonathan was embarrassed, not knowing why Zhang Qiuxi always had so many bizarre and even biased questions, and said: "We have a cooperative relationship with Kawasaki Bookstore, and I haven't been to their meetings, so I don't know. ”
"Even if Mr. Jonathan has been to the meeting, it's normal not to know, and obviously no one will do anything to you. Unless you're on the side of the attack, that's not necessarily
“……”
Jonathan was stunned for a moment before saying, "Teacher Xiqiu, you shouldn't say this about a gentleman. ”
――
Fukuda Genyi is unexpectedly young, about forty years old, with glasses, no matter how you look at it, she is a very ordinary passer-by uncle. It seems that it is not easy to become president at this age.
Japanese etiquette is so cumbersome that it makes people feel contrived, even if he is in a high position, Fukuda Genyi still bowed slightly when he saw Zhang Qiuxi, and then muttered a lot, but unfortunately Zhang Qiuxi didn't understand a word.
Facts have once again proved that Zhang Qiuxi's mastery of Japanese is limited to some specific words, and whether it is a daily greeting or talking about work or other things, she will not use words such as Ya Yan Butterfly, so she doesn't know what Fukuda Genyi said with two people of the same age around him.
This is not to watch a barrage video, there will be a wild translator, if you want to communicate normally with the people in Kawasaki Bookstore, you can only rely on the translation brought by Jonathan, in the interpretation of the translation, Zhang Qiuxi understood what Fukuda Genyi said: "It's an honor to meet you, Teacher Xiqiu, please take care of me." ”
As the helmsman of a large group, Fukuda Yuanyi is so polite, the Great Celestial Empire is known as the state of etiquette, Zhang Qiuxi can't weaken his prestige, and said politely: "It's also an honor to meet you, President Fukuda." ”
"The melancholy of Shangguan Haruhi, which is very popular in my country, is very popular in my country, and it is my Kawasaki Shoten's luck to be able to adapt it into an anime." Fukuda Genyi is not only young, but also polite. The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, even if Zhang Qiuxi is prejudiced, he can't pour it out at this time.
"President Fukuda, I am deeply honored to be able to cooperate with your company." Zhang Qiuxi said: "It's just that Mr. Jonathan may not have expressed it well, and there may be omissions that I need to add." ”
Looking at Fukuda Fukuda Genyi's expression, Zhang Qiuxi had to explain, so as not to cause misunderstanding from the beginning, and said: "President Fukuda, I heard that Kawasaki Bookstore has a controlling animation production company, and I don't know if it can be OEM for me to produce the TV animation of Shangguan Kasuga Story." ”
"It can't be. Some of our magazines under Kawasaki Shoten are popular light novels and manga, and if you want to adapt them into anime, you don't have to worry about having a story, so there's no need to make them for others. ”
Before Fukuda Genyi spoke, a middle-aged man beside him spoke first, and only after he finished speaking did Fukuda Genyi introduce: "This is our company's royal animation supervisor, Mr. Xiqiu may not have heard of it, but he is very well-known in Japan, his name is Watanabe Nobuhiro." ”
"It turned out to be Superintendent Watanabe, hello hello." Zhang Qiuxi didn't care, he knew that this was impossible before he came, and the reason why he said this was just a sky-high price to pay back the money.
Since she came to Japan in person, Fukuda Genyi also knew that things were not so simple, but she didn't know what Zhang Qiuxi's bottom line was, so she reiterated again: "Teacher Xiqiu, Shangguan Kasuga Monogatari has sold more than one million in Japan, which is a great achievement, so we hope to get the anime adaptation rights." ”
"The reason why we wanted to get the rights to adapt it is also because the impact of this novel is extraordinary." Fukuda Genyi was also blunt, not denying the influence of "Shangguan Chunri", and said directly: "But if it's just an OEM, our company does have a lot of stories that can be made, so I can't agree to this mention of Teacher Xiqiu." ”
Zhang Qiuxi glanced at Jonathan, this guy didn't say a word except for asking the translator to help, and put on the posture of an outsider. Originally, Zhang Qiuxi didn't say anything good about him, so he didn't care about it, and said: "I thought that as long as I could make money, it didn't matter what way it was." President Fukuda, in that case, if I say that Shangguan Kasuga Monogatari and we can invest together, on the condition that you help me make an animation, do you think it's acceptable? ”
Fukuda Yuanyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Teacher Xiqiu, you may not understand. Shangguan Kasuga Story is indeed very popular, yes, but our company doesn't have to adapt it into an anime, although it can't compare to this work, but our company can make a lot of money. If it's just a cooperative investment, it's not a big problem, but we can't agree to make another animation on the condition of making another animation. ”
Fukuda Genyi still refused directly in a calm tone. This is also in Zhang Qiuxi's expectation, the sky-high price is to pay back on the spot, and doing business is originally to negotiate.
---- Dividing Line----
There is something temporary, and there is only such a change today. Don't say much, I can only ask friends to forgive me!
