GONZODIGIMATION Co., Ltd. is located on the 2nd floor of the Yatsuda Building, 3-14-3 Takadanobaba, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, and even if Mitsumi Fukuda is only the largest shareholder, he cannot directly interfere with the operation of the company.

Mitsumi Fukuda proposed to take Shen Zhenghui to visit GONZO, and introduced that Shen Zhenghui has an animation company in Chinese mainland, and the two sides have a basis for cooperation in the future.

The president seemed to have the usual problem of high eyes in the Japanese, and he looked at Shen Zhenghui with impolite eyes, "Chinese animation, don't talk about it." ”

"Mr. Murahama, Mr. Osamu Tezuka has never said that." Shen Zhenghui stared at Murahama Shoji and said, "So far, your company's best work is just "Blue No. 6", which has not yet been released, right? ”

Murahama Shoji snorted, "So is Mr. Shen's animation company Shanghai Art Studio?" ”

"Of course not," Shen Zhenghui was slightly surprised, "but they don't have as much money as me." ”

"I'm not going to bow my head just because of money." Murahama Shoji said, he glanced at Mitsumi Fukuda, and seemed to have a hint, "What prompted me to pursue this industry was my love for this industry, and if money harmed my ideals, then I would have to start all over again." The president had a certain determined expression, "Anyway, I've already been out of GAINAX once, so it's a big deal to come back again." ”

Mitsumi Fukuda looked at Shen Zhenghui, and she whispered in Chinese, "So I hate dealing with this kind of otaku who make anime the most, you can say it." ”

Shen Zhenghui glanced at her, "You only made acquisitions, and didn't do anything at all?" ”

Mitsumi Fukuda rolled her eyes.

Shen Zhenghui coughed, "Mr. Murahama," he said in a sincere tone as he walked up to Murahama Shoji, "For anime people, the most important thing is the work, isn't it?" No matter how much you hate the control desires of capitalists, you also have to admit that the popularity of the work is the effect that both capitalists and anime people want to achieve, and in this regard, you are experts, and Miss Mitsumi Fukuda should have said a long time ago that she will not interfere with the specific actual operation of the company. ”

Murahama Shoji's gaze moved back and forth on the faces of Mitsumi Fukuda and Shen Zhenghui, "You are speaking on behalf of Miss Mitsumi Fukuda?" ”

"We are partners." Shen Zhenghui nodded.

Murahama Shoji's eyes widened and he didn't say anything.

"Mr. Murahama, obviously, for GONZO, he is only satisfied with making a small fuss for others to do OEM, and it took several years of hard work to produce his own work, although this work is still popular, but haven't you imagined that one day, excellent works will continue to flow out of the company, setting off a wave of enthusiasm, so that Japanese and even the world's audiences are chasing GONZO, looking forward to each of his works, do you have such a dream?"

"I ......" Murahama Shoji has long passed the age of being agitated by passionate speeches, but when the scene described by Shen Zhenghui remembers in his mind, he still feels that his heart is beating a little fast.

"Or are you just repeating the cycle of accumulating strength, making a small fire, and accumulating strength again and again in the cycle of entrepreneurship and leaving?" Shen Zhenghui continued to bewitch, "Perhaps, an animator can have a good enough work in his life to mix for a lifetime." Look at it, isn't this guy Hideaki Anno like this? His company will be able to live on "EVA" in the future, and every time he is short of money, he will release a movie version or a specially released OVA, President Murakami, don't you want to achieve such an effect? ”

"This is a ...... that can be met but not sought," Murahama Shoji weakened his tone, having worked with Hideaki Anno and knowing the EVA craze.

"No, of course not." Shen Zhenghui looked directly at Murahama Shoji, "Do you think that Hideaki Anno will have no excellent works in the future?" Or do you think Miyazaki will go down in the future? ”

"Of course it can't be!" "But," he continued, "as far as I know, Hideaki Anno may never reach the peak of EVA in the future." ”

"Do you feel like you've reached the top of your game?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.

Murahama Shoji was silent for a while, then he took his eyes down, took out the glasses cloth from his coat pocket and began to wipe them, "I know," he said, "Although I am confident that the Blue No. 6 will be well received, it is not a phenomenal work, and with the passage of time, there is a possibility that it will be forgotten." ”

"You see, we are also optimistic about the company's future, trying to promote the company's development and invest in the company, isn't everyone's purpose the same? We also hope that the company can produce a work that has been cheating money for 20 years! Shen Zhenghui patted Murahama Zhangji on the shoulder, but this gentleman didn't react.

"You," he asked, "are there any plans?" ”

Shen Zhenghui spread his hand at Fukuda Mitsumi.

Mitsumi Fukuda shrugged her shoulders, "Mr. President," she said, "Why don't we take Mr. Shen on a tour of our company first?" ”

"Okay, Mr. Shen, Miss Futian, I was too rude before, please go this way."

Later, GONZO was an animation company known for its mecha films, and the first part of "Full Metal Mania" produced in 2002 was their masterpiece. However,If you think that this company is strong, it would be wrong.,From its inception to 96 years they have been helping other work zuò cutscene CG or animation MTV,And their own work "Blue No. 6" began to make zuò from 96 to 98 years of launch, in two years, I don't know how much money was burned to make zuò out of 2d and 3d fusion effect, such a long cycle, no wonder even if OVA is very popular, it can't be launched immediately TV version, so although the cost of making zuò is not high, But for GONZO, which has too little capital, it is already overwhelmed.

Shen Zhenghui took a look at the company's situation and felt that it was better than his own company in China in terms of details, but it was not necessarily how good it was.

Shen Zhenghui even watched a part of the clip of "Qingzhi No. 6", although it was shocking enough in the 90s, but it was not enough for Shen Zhenghui, who had experienced a blockbuster influence. From time to time, he made eye contact with Mitsumi Fukuda, who repeatedly kept quiet. Murahama Akiji babbled non-stop.

"I think we can make another cartoon that embodies mechanical technology, preferably the TV version." In the end, Shen Zhenghui said to Fukuda Mitsumi in a consultative tone.

Murahama Shoji's eyes lit up.

"I have no opinion." Mitsumi Fukuda nodded, "But how long does it take to make zuò?" ”

Murahama Shoji looked a little weak-hearted, "If you have enough funds." ”

"There is a lot of money, it depends on how much you want." Mitsumi Fukuda said with a smile.

Akira Murahama said, "It doesn't take much. He said firmly, apparently because if Fukuda Mitsumi invested too much money, the company's control would not be in his hands.

"In this way, I will transfer a group of people from China to learn and do at the same time, and the company can outsource part of its business to Chinese companies in the future."

"I'm worried that their level is not up to our requirements." Murahama Shoji said hurriedly.

"President, the first step is to come up with the work, and the Chinese can do the simplest work first." Shen Zhenghui said seriously, "Besides, in terms of manpower, their wages are very low. ”

"How much?"

Shen Zhenghui calculated, "50,000 yen a month, including food and accommodation." ”

"What?" Murahama Zhangji's eyes widened, and he stepped forward and shook Shen Zhenghui's hand in a gaffe, "Shen Jun, trouble you, I want as many painters as there are like this!" ”

Mitsumi Fukuda coughed violently on the side.

In the future, GONZO is almost second to none in Japan in terms of technology, especially in 3D CG technology, but they always have problems with unfinished work, and the work will collapse due to rush in the third episode. Shen Zhenghui can be regarded as selfish, and let his company work at GONZO, although he gets little, but it can almost be regarded as helping himself cultivate talents for free. And if you take less, you can compare it with whom, and you can get less than the Japanese, but this price is already a high salary compared to the domestic one.

"And what about the new plan?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked.

"I think President Murahama has a plan for a long time," Shen Zhenghui picked up a book from his office desk, which was Kabayashi Nagahei's masterpiece "Battle Fairy Snow Wind", which won the Nebula Award at the Japan Science Fiction Convention.

This work was released by GONZO in 2002, and it is another five-episode OVA with breathtaking battle scenes. However, in Shen Zhenghui's memory, he has no impression of the plot.

Murahama Shoji's face became complicated after seeing Shen Zhenghui pick up the book.

"I think we can make it a little bigger." Shen Zhenghui narrowed his eyes, and at this moment, the bad taste in his mind began to emerge in a steady stream.

"Make it bigger?" Murahama asked rhetorically.

"The movie version or thirteen episodes of TV."

"It's too long to make a movie, and it's ......," Murahama Shoji said again. The old man is still worried about the issue of capital holdings.

"I mean to adapt the whole story." Shen Zhenghui rubbed his chin, "It's better to be realistic, the United States, China, and Russia are all going to appear, and they also have their planes." ”

Mitsumi Fukuda raised her eyebrows, "As a gimmick for the movie version?" Anyway, if you have a movie version, you don't have to shoot a TV version, right? ”

Shen Zhenghui is immersed in his own fantasies, the American F22, China's J20, and Russia's T50, if they had appeared in this cartoon a long time ago, wouldn't this be a big easter egg in the future?

"The movie is too long!" Murahama Shoji repeated.

"It's just right," Shen Zhenghui smiled, "It can be made into an upper, middle and lower trilogy." He looked at President Murahama, "President, I suddenly found out that it is really possible for us to cheat money for 20 years." ”

Murahama's eyes widened with a look of his heart beating.

Shen Zhenghui suddenly thought in his heart that after this film was filmed, Jiangnan's "Shanghai Fortress" would not have any technical problems, right? Maybe you can try to adapt "Shanghai Fortress" into "Tokyo Fortress", and then you can shoot two versions in one day.
