Chapter 13: Late Night Talk
"Keiichi, this is Miss Sachiko, I'm honored to meet me." Osamu Tezuka smiled, he was very happy to see Kamachi Teruichi so soon, and at the same time, he could see that the girl in front of him was his sister who was both talented and beautiful.
The reason why he values Kamaike so much is because even if he never reads Kamaike's talent in manga, he can deeply feel that he is different in business. This is also the reason why he called his other student, Takeichi Terasawa, very solemnly.
"Takeichi Terazawa, Tezuka-sensei's student, please take care of me." Takeichi Terasawa politely greeted Kamaike Teruichi.
"Senior brother, hello, Kamachi Teruichi." Pu Chihui nodded.
"Your sister does have a temperament as different as you, and sure enough, talent is related to genetics." Osamu Tezuka laughed kindly.
Ka Chi Teiichi just smiled and said nothing, quietly watching the cup of tea swimming.
"Teacher, how long are you going to talk tonight, are you ready?" Pu Chi Huiyi adjusted his sitting posture and put down the teacup in his hand.
Sensing that the next topic might be a little unusual, Osamu Tezuka put on his glasses on the coffee table and helped the frame.
"Teacher, remember last time I said that the situation of the insect production company was very bad." Pu Chihui said with a smile.
"Well, that's true." Osamu Tezuka responded in a low voice.
Takeichi Terasawa sat next to him and didn't dare to breathe, where would he have thought that Kamachi Teruichi was going to talk to the teacher about this topic, he usually never dared to disobey the teacher.
Sachiko Kamaike was a little surprised by her brother's words, but it was better for her to remain silent at this time, and sat silently next to her.
"It's not just that the insect production company is in a bad situation.,Most production companies are degenerating.,Times have changed.,Teacher,It's about to be the peak of the country's economy.,If a system is locked up cheaply for a long time.,It hasn't been able to produce many new masterpieces for many years.,And the animation company still has the expectation of a fake big empty.,So much so that it's complained that the "Japanese manga pill" is still developing according to the original path.γ Then I think this is the biggest sadness of some animations, and it is also the sad embodiment of some animation people being trapped by the system. Pu Chi Huiyi said seriously.
"Huiyi, what you said is really good, since 1970, I have a deep sense of powerlessness in this era, young people can still talk and laugh, now I need to think about things in front of me anymore."
Osamu Tezuka doesn't know why he has an inexplicable resonance with this 15-year-old student. Maybe it was from the first meeting by the lake that he saw that Kamachi Keiichi was extraordinary, or maybe it was now that Kamachi Teiichi's round of accurate analysis touched him. Whatever the reason, he needs to face up to the next topic.
"So, does Hui Yisang have a solution?" Much like when he asked his teacher when he was young, Osamu Tezuka couldn't help but think of those years.
Looking at the vicissitudes of this old man's appearance, he knew that the old man in front of him loved animation. It seems that the old man's life has been tied to anime.
In his understanding of his previous life, the last words that the old man shouted even at the last moment of his life were: "Please, give me a pencil, I need work." β
Pu Chi Huiyi didn't think much about it, suppressed his sadness for Osamu Tsukasa, and was in awe.
"If you have to come up with a solution, you have to start from the root of the problem." Pu Chi Huiyi pondered.
Looking at the longing eyes of the old man in front of him, Pu Chi Teiichi was indeed a little unbearable, because he knew that the next words might hurt an old man's original intention.
There was a sudden silence in the tea room, and the fragrance of tea wafted out, as if it soaked the whole air.
Thinking about the topic that has been debated in the manga industry for a long time in later generations, "RB animators, trapped in the system!" Is Miyazaki wrong, or is Osamu Tezuka to blame? β
Kamachi Keiichi can only give a more pertinent point of view, and part of the reason for this is indeed caused by Osamu Tezuka.
"Alas, Sensei, you established the form of "story comics" in RB comics. Afterwards hailed as the "father of RB anime", you started an era, but then ruined it at the same time. Pu Chihui looked at the old man in front of him, and said that in addition to the reality that he had to say.
Pu Chihui looked at the teacher's trembling body, he knew that since he had already spoken the reality, he could only continue to let the teacher recognize some things, some things that had to be faced.
"I don't know if the teacher found it, since the teacher's "Astro Boy" came out in a simplified mode to reduce the number of frames of painting, most of the animation industry has also quietly changed, for investors and animation companies, they got rid of the original "big investment, big risk, big return" traditional screen animation creation mechanism, and instead sought the development direction of "low cost, low risk, and high returns with IP derivatives". β
"For these businessmen, they often don't care about the quality of the work, they know that even if the production budget is only 1/10 of the screen animation, the TV audience will not mind at all, as long as the animation IP can win the audience's love, then no matter how much sweat is invested in the early stage, it can be easily harvested back."
"And for animation producers,Because of the prevalence of the outsourcing model,The threshold for entering the industry has also been greatly reduced,And the radiant teacher you are also like a beacon in the night to guide the direction of animation lovers to pursue their dreams,So it has also given birth to a batch of talents to enter,As more and more talents pour into the Japanese comic industry,More and more animation production companies were established in Tokyo,For producers,Their bargaining power will become weaker and weakerγ Animation producers are also opting for earnings far below average wages in the increasingly fierce industry dynamics, and almost all of them choose to give up quality, whether it is pursuing fast-food anime, and enjoy it on the road. β
"To survive in such a crack, you will either become a god in a battle, or sink and fall. That's the root of the problem! As soon as Kamaike finished speaking, he looked at Osamu Tezuka, who was contemplative.
fell into silence for a long time, and Pu Chi Huiyi knew that this matter was difficult at present, and it was not achieved overnight. And it's not too early, she still has to take care of her sister's thoughts.
"Teacher, it's not too early, let's put this matter aside for now, and I'll come to visit you when I have time. So....? Ka Chi Hui looked at Osamu Tezuka together.
Osamu Tezuka came back to his senses, couldn't help coughing a little, took a sip of tea, didn't say anything, but his eyes couldn't leave Kamaike Teruichi.
"Okay, I know, your senior brother has arranged a place for you to live, you can settle down first, I still need to ask for advice in two days." Osamu Tezuka's lonely face smiled.
Kamachi understood the teacher's mood and watched Osamu Tezuka walk towards the study.
"Puchi-kun, please come with me." Takeichi Terasawa said with a smile.
