Chapter Twenty-Four: Undercurrents Surge
Realizing a strange situation, Kamachi felt that the teacher might not just be chatting when he called him over.
"Does Hui Yijun like comics?" Osamu Tezuka said kindly.
Feeling the teacher's gaze, Kamachi Keiichi suddenly doubted himself, but he still said sincerely: "Well, the comic is very good. ”
"No, comics are only part of you, but for people like me, it's all about it. Hui Yijun, from the moment I first met you, although you were very immature at that time, I was sure that it was the person I was looking for. ”
Kamachi Teruichi seemed to be emotionally affected by Osamu Tezuka, and pinched his arm slightly uncalmly.
"Terazawa-kun also said that I was old, I was still high-spirited a few years ago, or I was always high-spirited decades ago or even a few years ago, at that time I could use comics to create a world, my original intention and destiny was originally to draw comics, but later for various reasons I had to enter the market and become a businessman." Osamu Tezuka sighed self-deprecatingly.
Perhaps it was because he was touched by the teacher's words and recalled the bits and pieces of the rebirth through the rebirth, and Pu Chi Teiichi gradually understood some truths. I used to think that in this era, for people like him, as long as people live, it is good, but now what he does and thinks is far more than that, maybe the new life should be more meaningful.
Seeing that Kamaike Keiichi seemed to be lost in thought, Osamu Tezuka paused to remind.
"Eh, is Hui Yijun thinking about the girl he likes?"
"Ahh As soon as Ka Chi Hui heard this, he suddenly felt a little inexplicable, and looked at Osamu Tezuka with a frowning eyebrow.
"Hahaha..., Hui Yijun is really a person who doesn't smile."
Obviously talking about a serious topic, this teacher suddenly changed the topic, and even laughed at him, Pu Chihui thought speechlessly.
Osamu Tezuka stood up suddenly, calmly walked to the safe next to the bookcase, and carefully took out a document and a white marble seal from it.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Osamu Tezuka sat behind the table with a smile on his face, and pushed the letter and the seal with "Insect Production Company" in front of Kamaike Teruichi.
"Hui Yijun, from the first time, although I saw your genius in comics, and I also wanted to see more of your works, but in my opinion, comics are only a part of you, it can't limit your life, and your plan also made me realize that comics alone can't create a new era."
Osamu Tezuka turned the pen in his hand upside down and gestured something on the table.
"In the past, I spent half of my time in business in order to create the manga era, but obviously, I was not a qualified businessman, and sometimes I even wanted to give up Bug Production Co., Ltd., but in the past four months, you have made me see the future of the company and the times."
Pu Chi Teiichi had expected the current situation from just now, but he didn't make a move.
"Hui Yijun, you think I'm incompetent as a teacher, I think now I should quit this circle and pursue the creation of comics, young things should be done by young people, Pu Chi-san is my best candidate, I am very optimistic about you, I hope I can see the day of the new era." Osamu Tezuka stood up and put the pen in his hand into Kamaike Keiichi's pocket, and the overall situation was decided.
Pu Chi Huiyi looked at the back of the teacher leaving and the bright objects on the table, the light shone on the white marble seal, everything seemed to indicate the beginning of the light.
Stretch your fingers from the gloom to the sun, and in an instant you will feel the warmth spread out, and you don't need words to slowly experience that feeling with your heart, so that the dark corners that have become moldy will be filled with the smell of sunshine Sometimes, even if you are alive, you should take it out to bask in the sun, right?
Kamoike was waiting for the bus at RB Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and what he didn't know was that in the Toei office building behind him, an elderly man was solemnly looking at the weekly Naruto magazine on the table.
"Father, the company has started to take annual leave, is there anything important about coming to the office this afternoon?" Yusuke Okada cautiously looked at the old man with a serious expression in front of him.
"Yusuke, what do you think of this manga?" Shigeru Okada looked at Yusuke Okada on the sofa next to him calmly.
"Isn't it already clear what my father asked me to investigate? It's just a funny comic, although the author has changed some factors, but this is only a temporary impact on the market, we have refused to invest in it and monopolized it, Toho's side is the same as ours, and my father doesn't have to worry. ”
Shigeru Okada's eyes looked at the change in his son's expression even more solemnly, "Can't you even see your keen mind, it seems that Toho didn't see it." ”
Shigeru Okada spread his hands on the back of the sofa and stretched for a moment, sighing.
"The important thing is not how well this manga is performing, but the style of Insect Production Co., Ltd. this time is very strange, not like the handwriting of Osamu Tezuka."
For half a year, although Insect Productions hopes to get investment from industry giants like Toei, after being monopolized by Toei and Toho, it has not blindly aggrieved and begged for full concession rights and reduced the cost of anime production, but still insists on making ends meet at a high price of 400,000 yen per episode, giving a signal to all projection companies that "whatever you want, I just ask for the price", and the direction of the media seems to be operated in the dark, and the public's expectations for "Naruto" have exceeded the extreme.
This series of high-risk operations is based on Shigeru Okada's understanding of Osamu Hatezuka, and he knows that Osamu Tezuka definitely does not have the means and courage to do so. Specially asked his son Yusuke Okada to investigate the flow of funds and business changes of Worm Production, but surprisingly, Worm Production made it all airtight.
There must be a reason for things to go wrong, and through internal channels, Shigeru Okada actually found out that Worm Production is not only making the "Naruto" anime, but the horror is that it is also making a mysterious movie with a high cost, and there is another layer of risk on top of the high risk, and he is really a madman.
Many questions linger in Shigeru Okada's mind, where does the money for anime and movies come from? Why not be afraid of industry monopolies? Why is the direction of the media changing? And most importantly, who is the person behind the mystery that made Osamu Tezuka take such a big risk?
All conspiracies are covered with this thick layer of appearance, and conspiracy is always panicked, and the restless Okada Shigeru can't sit still.
"Yusuke, it's not easy, this person Toei and other companies in the industry can't deal with it, and I, the honorary chairman of Toei, have to come out and wait and see." Shigeru Okada said sincerely.
Yusuke Okada looked at his father with some shock, "What kind of person can make my father so dignified?" ”
However, these are no longer important to Yusuke Okada, because Shigeru Okada takes this matter very seriously, and he trusts his father's skill.
