Chapter 119: Acquisition of Hayao Miyazaki's Studio (Two More Requests for Subscriptions and Monthly Passes)
Hearing this, Yang Yun's heart jumped violently, no matter what other people's attitudes are, he is willing!
Such an opportunity, if you don't seize it firmly, you will be a fool!
But this involves a big question, will the Chinese become Ghibli, will these Japanese resentment and protest?
Especially Hayao Miyazaki and Hisaishi make celebrities of this status, I wonder if they can stand the fact that a Chinese guy in his 20s has become their boss?
Hayao Miyazaki is 49 years old this year, and he has filmed anime movies such as My Neighbor Totoro, Valley of the Wind, and Witch Otaku-mail, and he is a well-known director in Japan.
Hisaishi is 40 years old this year, and he has mainly given the soundtrack to Hayao Miyazaki's movies, as well as other anime works such as Battlestar, and has also produced theme songs and soundtracks, and is also a little famous.
A few months ago, during the New Year, Yang Yun visited Hisaishi, and because Longteng did not open a branch in Japan, Yang Yun was really unwilling to forcibly take Hisaishi to China, so he gave up.
Now Fengyun Game Software Company has been established, and its reputation is very loud, and the movement is very loud, no matter what, it is also a well-known game software company in Japan!
Games, animation, music, these three are also complementary industries, weishenme can't be combined? What's more, Studio Ghibli is also involved in video game production!
Thinking of this, Yang Yun laughed: "Fengyun Game Software Company is willing to help with this, I wonder if President Miyazaki thinks it's okay?" ”
"Fengyun?" Hayao Miyazaki and Hisaishi glanced at each other and fell silent. Didn't speak for a long time.
What's going on?
Yang Yun was a little anxious, carefully observing the expressions of the two, wanting to see something.
But Yang Yun failed. The two seemed to be embarrassed, looked at each other, and after making eye contact, Hisaishi stood up and said apologetically, "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, we still have some things. Shueisha's head of the base work is waiting for us, and I'm missing! ”
"Hey......" Yang Yun stood up and wanted to stay. But I could only look at the backs of Hayao Miyazaki and Jean Hisaishi, and I couldn't say anything, the outstretched hand hung in the air, and I didn't see it fall for a long time.
"What's going on?" Wang Zhe is far away. It doesn't seem right to see the situation here. Hurry up and run over here.
"I ......" Yang Yunzhang and the second monk were puzzled, what did he say? Just said that Fengyun Games was willing to help, why did you stand up and leave?
Getting more and more confused, Yang Yun thought for a while and said, "Hurry up!" Shout out to the team leader, let's have a meeting! ”
When Qian Deliang heard Yang Yun say that he would temporarily cancel his trip to Europe tomorrow, he couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied: "Xiao Yang, the air tickets and accommodation in Europe have been arranged by special people, and it is quite troublesome to arrange and cancel. How do you say cancel and cancel? ”
Yang Yun hurriedly said: "Team Leader Qian, I have encountered a particularly troublesome matter now. If it's not convenient for you to cancel, why don't you go first, and when I'm done, I'll meet you in London in two days? ”
Qian Deliang waved his hand: "You first tell me the reason for cancellation, and if necessary, it's not impossible to cancel." As a team, it's better for everyone to act in unison. ”
So Yang Yun told a little about Ghibli and explained: "Studio Ghibli is in trouble now, so I have the opportunity to join in." Otherwise, if they succeed in the future, I am afraid it will be rare to buy them again, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Our Longteng company has a particularly important game in the next stage, which is also a multi-faceted and multi-level publicity, games, comics, animation, film and television, magazines, cards, game peripherals, I am afraid that the promotion of the Three Kingdoms is even greater! ”
Qian Deliang laughed: "Accurate! Xiao Wang, go and make arrangements, cancel the trip, and we will stay in Japan for a few more days. ”
After the arrangement, Qian Deliang pretended to be angry: "Xiao Yang, it's not kind for you to do this!" What game is more important than Three Kingdoms? And one, two, three...... Seven ways of publicity, you're too favoritism, right? ”
Yang Yun almost cried: "My team leader Qian, do I dare to make a big show of promoting the Three Kingdoms in China?" Comics, do I dare to draw a villain book of the Three Kingdoms casually? Animation, there is no such talent in China, and Shanghai Fine Arts Film Factory is simply too busy! There are also magazines, there is no such category in the domestic publishing industry! There is also film and television, my God, after the Canton Fair, Director Cao personally beat me, asking me to wait for CCTV Romance of the Three Kingdoms to start filming, cooperate with them to do a new round of publicity, and use my Three Kingdoms cards to make a big promotion or something...... Am I easy for me ......"
Qian Deliang knew that Yang Yun was funny, and he couldn't stop laughing: "Okay, I'll just say it casually, you still pour out a basket of bitter water." Tell me, what do you think should be done about this? Looking at their reaction, it seems that they are particularly reluctant? ”
Wang Zhe also nodded: "Mr. Yang, since they are willing to contact the Shogakukan and Shueisha, it means that they must have a need for help." But the refusal of our request is most likely due to bitterness, but whether it is because of national pride or something else, I can't guess. ”
Everyone began to think about it, and some people put forward several plans, Yang Yun thought about it comprehensively and knew what he should do.
He found Hayao Nakayama.
If the Chinese can't talk about it, then talk to the Japanese.
Maybe Fengyun Games is not qualified, but Sega should be enough to save face, right?
Soon, Hayao Nakayama found Hayao Miyazaki and Jean Hisaishi, who had not yet left the scene, and after an in-depth discussion, he finally knew the answer.
"This ......" Yang Yun couldn't cry or laugh, "How good is this to say in person, why bother holding it in your heart, and then turn around and leave?" They asked me not to interfere in the company's operations, which was so normal, I understood it, and I never thought of interfering in their own development! ”
It turns out that the two of them are worried about this!
It is precisely because Yang Yun has confronted Japanese companies, Capcom, and Nintendo at many press conferences that he seems to be a Japanese corporate killer.
After the development of the famous generals, Wang Zhe took the sales staff of Fengyun Company to seize the market with iron-fisted policies and means, and made a lot of noise, so Sankei News, Fuji News and other professional Chinese blacks said bad things about Fengyun Company.
Miyazaki and Hisaishi were particularly worried about whether Yang Yun would interfere with the studio's operations by forceful means if Yang Yun became the owner of Ghibli, such as forcing them to make Chinese documentaries or creating Chinese music that Hisaishi did not understand at all.
This is something they are extremely unwilling to see, but they are afraid of embarrassment on both sides, so they can only deliberately find another reason to say goodbye and leave.
Under the mediation of Hayao Nakayama, the two sides sat together again, Wang Zhe and Yang Yun, Hayao Miyazaki and Jean Hisaishi, and there was also an intermediary Hayao Nakayama.
Hisaishi was a little embarrassed: "President Yang, we ...... before"
Yang Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "People who engage in music just want to be free and easy!" ”
Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and the awkward atmosphere was swept away.
Hayao Nakayama said, "President Yang is still very sincere, and he specially begged me to come over and explain, he sincerely wants to help Jibu strength through the difficulties. Fengyun Company is also the core partner of our Sega, and after getting along for so long, our company admires him from top to bottom. ”
Yang Yun also replied with a few words of compliment, and then said to Hayao Miyazaki: "Director Hayao Miyazaki, for the daily operation of Studio Ghibli, we will not interfere at will, and we will give you the greatest discretion within a reasonable range." This is Wang Zhe, the president of Fengyun Game Software Company, and he will represent me with full authority in the future, and be responsible for everything in Japan of Longteng Company. If I have some anime ideas, he will relay them to you. ”
Hayao Miyazaki glanced at Yang Yun and became interested: "It turns out that President Yang also has ideas about anime?" ”
Yang Yun hahadaxiao: "Although I don't have a deep understanding of anime, I especially like to watch anime movies. For example, I really like your "Witch Courier Service", especially the soundtrack in it......"
The original soundtrack was made by Jean Hisaishi, and he complimented the two of them in one sentence, and Jean Hisaishi was also very useful.
The two heard the episode "Lipstick Message" humming out of Yang Yun's mouth, and then they knew that Yang Yun really liked this movie, you know, this was just released in Japan last year, and it was not transmitted to Chinese mainland at all.
Listening to Yang Yun's not very proficient Japanese lyrics, Hisaishi asked daxiao: "If Miss Arai hears this, she will definitely cover her face and be embarrassed to meet people!" ”
Everyone laughed, the author of this song, Yumi Arai, can be called a generation of talented women in the Japanese music industry, and has worked with Hayao Miyazaki Hisaishi for a long time, and everyone is a very familiar good friend.
Now that we've said that, it's time for formal negotiations, and Yang Yun asked, "Is the predicament of Studio Ghibli the pressure from Tokuma Bookstore's attempt to divest, or the poor management caused by the deterioration of Japan's economic environment?" ”
Miyazaki said, "It's both. After filming the girl's coming-of-age manga "Witch Home Delivery Service" last year, Studio Ghibli only received a few TV commercials, but fortunately, it was supported by box office dividends and could continue to be maintained. Tokuma Bookstore, on the other hand, had problems with its own business, so it wanted to find the highest bidder, but we didn't agree with this approach. ”
Needless to say, if whoever has the money can become the owner of Ghibli, it is an insult to Hayao Miyazaki to let those real estate tyrants, coal bosses and mine bosses who don't know anything throw money.
So Hayao Miyazaki and Jean Hisaishi planned to take the initiative to see if large publishing companies such as Shogakukan and Shueisha were interested in taking over Studio Ghibli.
After all, Shogakukan and Shueisha are both well-known anime publishers, and they complement Ghibli in their business. (To be continued......)
