Chapter 423: Vaccination
The '97 financial tsunami was a disaster for the East Asian financial circles, and it was also the most impressive financial crisis for the financial community, with a far-reaching impact far greater than that of '08.
On another world front, after several years of recuperation and adjustment, after the Hiroshima Agreement, he was already standing up tremblingly on crutches, and his vitality was recovering, and he was completely beaten by a big stick that fell from the sky in 97.
For the sake of the book at that time, the behavior of international travel funds led by Soros was the standard
"Kick the cripple's good leg". It is also a disaster for Asian countries such as Thailand and South Korea, and Western capital shows its fangs at first glance, and these countries that have not wanted the rise of great powers and only need the dignity of small people will pay the price immediately.
Without security, there is no dignity. South Korea's cultural national policy was officially put forward after the financial tsunami in 97, because the foreign trade exports at that time were hit hard, so the South Korean government needs low-consumption, pollution-free cultural industry to carry the banner of revitalizing the domestic economy.
At that time, the Chinese government spent hundreds of billions of foreign exchange to help Xiangjiang lower than foreign capital, and after this battle, the "China collapse theory" that had been prevalent in the international community also completely collapsed and became "******".
This is not the table pressed first. After the financial crisis of '97, the bank clerks of the bank were crazy to collect cash, and those who had borrowed loans before were obviously begging them to borrow money from the bank with money, and they knelt in front of the door of the creditors one by one and begged the other party to return the money to them.
Of course, only a few can get the money back. After all, at special moments, money is in your pocket to be reassuring.
And there is usually no chance, once there is an opportunity, the business owner is also happy to make it difficult for the bank. Let these guys also experience the aggrieved taste of borrowing an umbrella on a sunny day and collecting an umbrella in the rain.
You have to find a way to get back the money that has been lent out, not to mention that it is still an ordinary animation studio.
If Keiichi Otomo is going to borrow money, it's best to do it as soon as possible, otherwise once the wave of the financial tsunami is taken, there will be no chance.
But this is just a thought that exists in Kei Fujiwara's heart, and it is naturally impossible for him to say it. Of course, no one will believe it.
Moreover, the financial crisis that occurred in the parallel world in the late 97 may not happen at the same time in this world.
However, Kei Fujiwara's observation during this period of time felt that this time might be late, but it would definitely happen, a few months later or a year or two later.
May be late, but will not be absent. Fujiwara Keiichi looked at Keiichi Otomo in front of him, and didn't say anything, but took a sip of the drink, thought about it and said, "Okay, the matter of the holding ratio can be discussed again." ”
"Okay, then let's talk about it." Megumi Otomo nodded and said. In fact, he is not a stone in the pit, he has just left the Xiaojinjing studio now, and he is eager to open another studio, but opening a studio is not so simple.
Funding, personnel, and venue are all old and difficult problems, and he really needs a production company to be the backstage to solve these difficult problems for him.
In fact, he doesn't really want to control the studio absolutely, but just hopes to get a promise from Kei Fujiwara, and this promise cannot be just suspended in words, but is best implemented on paper: never interfere with his own creation.
You just have to put in the money and collect it. Don't get involved in the rest of the creative stuff.
At this time, Keiichi Otomo suddenly asked again: "Fujiwara-san, I would like to take the liberty of asking, why do you want to do the animation industry, as far as I know, your current production company is mainly TV dramas and movies, why did you suddenly enter an industry that you don't understand?" ”
"It's true that Shui Bo Productions is currently focusing on the shooting of TV dramas and movies, but this is only temporary, and my goal is to make Shui Bo Productions a large-scale media company with all categories. Animation, special effects, variety shows, and news will all be involved in the future. Kei Fujiwara said.
"You're not focused enough." Keiichi Otomo suddenly shook his head and said.
"Just do it well. If you can do ten things well, if you only do one, it is a waste of energy. Kei Fujiwara replied unhurriedly.
Keiichi Otomo suddenly sent out to Kei Fujiwara
"Criticism" made Oshii-an on the side a little nervous for a moment. You're not going to make this your student, are you?
Oshii An smiled bitterly and said: Although this person is young, his status in the industry is much higher than yours!
Keiichi Otomo nodded at this time and said, "It also makes sense." But Fujiwara-san, I don't have the talent of yours, I can only do animation well. That's why I value my work like a child, and my goal is to show this animation to audiences around the world in the form of fine art. So what I pursue is often different from what some businessmen who only care about profits. If Fujiwara-san is the kind of person who only cares about commercial returns, then we probably don't have a lot of fate to work together. Kei Fujiwara was silent for two or three seconds, and there were two more smiles in his eyes when he looked at Keiichi Otomo: "What does Director Otomo mean by saying such things?" Is it because you are not confident that your work can get positive returns, and you can give investors a preventive shot in advance? Megumi Otomo wanted to say something more, but she only heard
With a "bang", Kei Fujiwara put the water glass in his hand on the table.
"Let me make myself clear first." Kei Fujiwara said,
"The biggest purpose of my production company is to make money, and a work that can't get direct or indirect income is a failed work for me."
"I've already heard Oshii-san say, Otomo-sensei, you're obsessed with hand-drawn animation, of course it's okay, I won't force you to use any new technology, you can draw by hand if you want to, and use a computer if you want to use a computer. You can choose based on your own personal aesthetics and judgment of the market, but making a profit is a basic requirement. Art is the means, and making money is the result. I'm not the kind of investor who is generous enough to commit to the creator, it doesn't matter how much money I lose, and I allow the director to only do what he likes. If you don't have the confidence to make a profit, or if you don't want to do that...... Then we really don't have any fate. The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and the three of them looked at each other speechless for a while.
Kei Fujiwara didn't speak politely, nor did he take a pretentious role like some investors in the film and television industry, patting his chest and saying to some art directors: We don't care about money, we just want to support artists.
When I really lost money, I clutched my chest and felt distressed. You know, many film directors, especially art film directors, lose money no different than throwing money into an incinerator.
You must know that the king of sunglasses directly hospitalized the investor Deng Guangrong in anger. The director relied on awards, artist brokerage, fame and fortune, and put investors' money to death, which is not uncommon for Kei Fujiwara.
So as soon as Megumi Otomo said those words, he immediately woke up. He wouldn't be the one who was wronged.
So I don't care about the earnings? Are you kidding me? I opened a film and television company to play with coins?
"Director Otomo insists on hand-drawn animation, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Many investors and industry insiders feel that hand-drawn animation is time-consuming and laborious, and the argument that it will be abandoned by the market is biased. On the contrary, I think that hand-drawn animation is still in good shape, in other words, if Director Otomo's work fails and is cold in the market, I hope you will realize that this is your own lack of ability, and don't blindly blame the hand-drawn animation that you insist on, okay? Kei Fujiwara said, holding up his teacup and taking a sip.
Keiichi Otomo's face turned red instantly, and he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and couldn't say it, so he had to look at his disciple as if asking for help.
There was a lot of anger in his eyes, as if to say: You friend...... What are you talking about so impulsively?!
