After arriving at GONZO, I found that there was no hot work scene here, but everyone was in a meeting, and Tsuruoka Yota, Atsushi Takeuchi, Yoshio Yoshioka and Yusuke Takeda, who had decided to jointly supervise "Battle Fairy Yukikaze", all sat with solemn faces in the position closest to the slide, and almost all the original artists who were about to participate in the production of zuò gathered at the conference table, about twenty or thirty people, including five Chinese.

Akiji Murahama is giving a briefing.

According to Shen Zhenghui and Murahama Shoji to discuss the plot, Shen Zhenghui felt that the plot content adapted from the original book should be put backwards, focusing on the history of air combat from the thirty-three years to the present, according to the calculation of the story schedule, the time of JAM's invasion of the earth is about 1970, so take the opportunity to make a battle movie that includes fighter aircraft models from the seventies to the nineties, and if the results are good, make an air combat movie about Xuefeng thirty-three years later.

On the other hand, the various mainstream fighters after 1970 demonstrated the performance and actual combat effects of the fighters on a super-large-scale battlefield, and this was another kind of real military fandom's trembling idea. After all, the Cold War did not turn into a hot war, and the fact that the two sides did not fight a single battle in the end, is somewhat regrettable for those who advocate violence, and on the other hand, watching Soviet-style planes and American planes fighting side by side on the same battlefield is also another kind of exciting feeling.

And Shen Zhenghui's bad taste is that he is counting on being able to see the figure of the Chinese Air Force in this cartoon, whether it is to praise the fighting spirit of the soldiers, or to take this opportunity to mock the beautiful men in the air, or to show the power of the prophet to make J20 and J31 appear in the air battle, just like F22 and F35, thinking that there can be a group of fighters above the F22 squadron in the scene, Shen Zhenghui feels that even if he loses money in this film, it is worth it, of course, not to mention that he knows that it is difficult to lose money. "Battle Fairy Snow Wind" is one of the pillars of GONZO, and it has cultivated a large number of Snow Wind fans, although the name Snow Wind is so unlucky.

The rigorous character of the Japanese was well reflected in this meeting, of course, if there is no money, there is no rigor, with the money Hama Shoji is guilty of the second disease, which is a common problem of all Japanese animation directors, there is money to desperately improve the quality, and if there is no money, it is perfunctory, and as a result, GONZO's works generally run out of money halfway through, and then they begin to collapse.

But now they are lucky, Mitsumi Fukuda has a lot of money, "Blue No. 6" is very popular, everyone is in high spirits, Murahama Shoji and a group of supervisors also think that it is very interesting to make a story of air combat in the world's mainstream fighters during this period in the background of the 70s and 90s, so they immediately began to write the script and make the setting. Because the story is equivalent to the prequel story of "Battle Fairy Snow Wind", the setting is detailed and huge, and the information is much more amazing. From the current point of view, the mainstream fighters of the United States and the Soviet Union during this period of time have been hit in a net, Shen Zhenghui specially proposed to join China's role, the world's five largest countries, if they do not appear at all, then this work is incomplete.

So this meeting was equivalent to a meeting on the overall design before the system, looking at the task list listed by Murahama Shoji, Shen Zhenghui felt that his scalp was numb, and the information collected alone included the parameters and pictures of more than 20 kinds of fighters, and he actually listed a plan to investigate the sound of the aircraft's flight engines on the spot. They actually wanted to collect the number of China's J8, and Murahama Shoji even thought that Shen Zhenghui had a very strong relationship in the mainland and could achieve this goal, which made Shen Zhenghui a little crying and laughing.

Now that J8 has appeared, will J10 be far away? It's also good to design the J20 to show its face when necessary! Shen Zhenghui has the same bad taste, and he has given full play to his subjective initiative in Chinese scenes, and what he said has made Murahama Shoji more determined in his thoughts.

In short, the prequel to "Battle Fairy Snow Wind", the anime film tentatively called "Earth Battle Story" started the production process, and at the same time, forty Chinese original artists and technicians also set off for Japan one after another, and GONZO unknowingly, the size of the staff has more than doubled, which makes Shen Zhenghui also begin to fantasize that the production speed of GONZO can also be doubled.

In addition to Liu Xin, there were also people arranged by Fukuda Mitsumi to accompany Shen Zhenghui to Hong Kong, in addition to talking about the release and distribution of "The Cruel History of Peking High School", by the way, he contacted Jiahe and Huanya to try to enter Hong Kong, and then use Hong Kong as a pedal to enter the mainland market.

Mitsumi Fukuda arranged for two people, one named Iwayama Moto, who was the assistant manager of the Kasuga Film Distribution Department, and the other named Inoue May, who was a capable-looking young woman who acted as both a clerk and a translator.

According to Iwayama Moto, they have reached a preliminary agreement with Jiahe, and this time they actually came to sign a contract, by the way, to see if they can cooperate further. Of course, the specific content of the negotiation Fukuda Mitsumi has already said that Shen Zhenghui is authorized to negotiate. Iwayama Yuan looked a little depressed because of this, from any point of view, Shen Zhenghui and Kasuga Pictures have nothing to do with each other, but an outsider came to lead this cooperation negotiation, although I have heard that Shen Zhenghui is Fukuda Mitsumi's partner, and there are even rumors that he and Fukuda Mitsumi will get married, but Iwayama Yuan has his own ideas about his work.

Shen Zhenghui thanked Iwayama for his previous work, and said that he would respect his and Inoue's opinions during the negotiations. Inoue May's Cantonese is quite fluent, but Shen Zhenghui and Liu Xin both speak Mandarin, which makes it a little difficult for her, especially when the two of them speak Sichuan together, Inoue May is only crazy. Before the group of four people landed at Hong Kong Airport on the plane, Shen Zhenghui overlooked this Oriental Pearl and deeply felt how reasonable it is that if you don't die, you won't die! This is the difference between Li Jiacheng and Li Jiapo in the future. Now, Hong Kong has shown its declining appearance, but many Hong Kong people have not yet realized it, and they have the habit of lying on the mainland to suck blood, and have the illusion that this kind of life can be maintained forever.

As soon as I got out of the airport, there was a staff member from Kazuzu who came to pick them up, and it seemed that it was not the first time they had met to see them greet Iwayama Motoko and Inoue May. The attitude towards Shen Zhenghui and Liu Xin was even worse, and after hearing Shen Zhenghui and Liu Xin communicate in Mandarin, one of the staff members' eyes was almost raised above his head.

Iwayama Yuan is still a mature staff member, and took the opportunity to introduce Shen Zhenghui's identity to these Jiahe people, and when he heard that Shen Zhenghui was the partner of the boss of Kasuga Pictures, and was the screenwriter and starring of the movie released this time, Jiahe's staff, no matter who they were, showed surprised eyes.

Shen Zhenghui didn't care about these little ghosts, shook hands with them politely, and then got in the car and went to the hotel, and talked to Liu Xin about the distribution point of Jinhong Animation in Hong Kong along the way. Ah Heng they have opened up the situation in Hong Kong, Hong Kong's local and Japanese painting style combined with the style of painting has attracted a lot of young people, in addition to changing the words of the dialogue to traditional Chinese, the comics published here are no different from the mainland, and even "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" have been sold to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong TV has also shown it.

Those who could understand Mandarin were secretly frightened by this information.

Jiahe received four people as a vice president, and although there was nothing wrong with this specification, Iwayama still felt uncomfortable. He deliberately explained that Shen Zhenghui was the boss's partner, but he couldn't see the top of Jiahe, which made him very disappointed.

However, the vice president named Wang Jiasheng has a kind and natural attitude, and he gave a high verbal evaluation of this cooperation with Kasuga Pictures, and is very sincere to discuss the next step of cooperation.

Jiahe is no longer the giant of Hong Kong at the beginning, Hong Kong's market is so big, the Southeast Asian financial crisis, these countries closed the market to Hong Kong, how to sell Hong Kong films is a big problem, so Jiahe's production is decreasing year by year, and maintaining the current scale is already a very difficult job.

This time, the cooperation between Fukuda Mitsumi and Jiahe mainly relies on their cinema chains, and Jiahe naturally has the intention of further opening up and expanding the Japanese market, but Jackie Chan is getting older, and Jiahe is gradually weak.

Wang Jiasheng kept inquiring about the distribution ability of Kasuga Pictures in Japan, probably thinking about pushing his "Storm and Storm to the World" to be released in Japan, this film has a box office of more than 40 million yuan in Hong Kong and a cost of more than 70 million yuan.

This guy is looking for a life-saving straw everywhere.

In 1998, there was a big war in the Hong Kong stock market, and if it weren't for the central government's support for Hong Kong, the Oriental Pearl would have become a garbage dump. The final painful victory also sounded the alarm bell for everyone, in fact, this is the precursor of Hong Kong's decline. The Southeast Asian film market has begun to protect itself, opening its doors to Hollywood and Hong Kong films, which is a heavy blow to Hong Kong's film industry. The mainland market of 1.3 billion people cannot be completely opened to Hong Kong, so it seems that Hong Kong's local films have only a dead end. So the appearance of Shen Zhenghui and his entourage became a lifesaver for Vice President Jia and Wang, no matter what, try it and don't need money.

"Actually, we also have distribution capabilities in Chinese mainland." Wong began to brag, "We have cooperative relations with many publishers in the mainland. The latter sentence is true, but how intimate it is is a big question.

"Mr. Wang, since both sides have the intention of cooperating, it is better for us to discuss a little further."

"Oh? How far? Wang Jiasheng asked with interest.

"Hong Kong is a free port, and we are actually very interested in the whole East Asian market, and we would like to expand and tap into this big market." Shen Zhenghui said.

Wang Jiasheng's eyes widened.

"We can work together to make good use of the film production resources of Japan, Hong Kong and the mainland to radiate the entire East Asian market, what do you think?"

"This, do you have any specific suggestions?" Wang Jiasheng asked cautiously.

"Why don't we join forces with Jiahe to set up a distribution company to invest and distribute films in the mainland." Shen Zhenghui said.

Wang Jiasheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Mr. Shen, it is difficult to release movies in the mainland. ”

"I know, so it's not just the two of us, it's best to get a few film groups in the mainland together, in the film industry, Jiahe is a senior, very well-connected, why don't you give it a try?"

"This ......," Wang Jiasheng hesitated, "I want to report to the chairman." ”

For Jiahe, which will be listed in 2004, it seems that the shareholding at this time is unacceptable, and everyone can only cooperate under the framework of the company, so the result of the report seems to be inconclusive.

Fortunately, this was expected, so Shen Zhenghui and Iwayama Yuan prepared to continue to contact other companies in Hong Kong according to the predetermined plan. When Shen Zhenghui was preparing, he had a whim, and he said to Iwayama Yuan: Why don't we take a look at the potential female stars in Hong Kong? I suddenly had some ideas for the next movie.

Iwayama responded with an expression that all men understood.
