Chapter 424: Hospice Care (I)

"Waiter, ask for three portions of toast." Seeing that the atmosphere of the conversation on the scene dropped to freezing point for a while, Oshii-an hurriedly started a round.

Keiichi Otomo doesn't seem to be good at talking cannons, and after being blocked back by Fujiwara Kei's cannon-like words, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just blindly added milk to the black teacup, drank it, and then added milk.

A cup of black tea gradually turned milky white.

"Otomo-sensei didn't mean that." Oshii-an explained,

"We've always been very concerned about the audience's reaction and the market's response, and the audience's feedback is something we've always cared about. It's just that sometimes the market is blind, and what Mr. Otomo means is that when there is some kind of uniformity in the market, investors can not force creators to blindly follow the trend. That's what Mr. Otomo is trying to say. Immediately after, Oshii-an turned his head and glanced at Keiichi Otomo: "Is that so, Otomo-sensei?" Meiichi Otomo nodded in silence.

"I see." Kei Fujiwara nodded thoughtfully,

"In that case, I misunderstood Otomo-sensei...... If that's what it means, then I agree with that. The market is indeed blind to the market, and once there is some kind of irrational trend, the creator really has to keep eye-catching...... "Kei Fujiwara went down the stairs, after all, he came to talk about cooperation, and it was not interesting to go-for-tat."

Keiichi Otomo said at this time: "Then Fujiwara-sensei, do you agree with me to stick to my own creative method?" I am very reluctant to use computers instead of most of the manpower, and instead use hand-drawn drawings to best express the beauty of animation art. Fujiwara nodded: "I agree, although the use of computers is indeed more convenient and faster, saving time and manpower, but hand-drawn also does have the irreplaceable charm of computer software." Megumi Otomo breathed a sigh of relief.

After reaching such a consensus for the time being, the two began to talk about cooperation. For more than half an hour, Kei Fujiwara almost understood the situation.

In addition to Oshii-an, who left Koganei with Keiichi Otomo, there are also five core artists and assistant animation directors.

All are experienced people in the industry. Koganei Animation Studio itself is not large, and there are not many standing troops, and many times they are looking for temporary workers.

The studio's own standing army are all experienced and high-level masters, who form the core members of the studio, responsible for the most important production and painting work, and there are only more than 20 people.

Nearly a quarter of them ran away with Meigi Otomo. But just these people can't form a team that can make a full-fledged animated film right away, and the team needs to be expanded, but it costs money to expand the team.

The ability to pay a stable salary is required, and this is something that Kei Fujiwara has. After chatting for a long time, Kei Fujiwara said that he was willing to invest directly, but the investment ratio should not be less than 35%, or simply set up an animation department produced by Mizuwa and let them be in charge.

But in the end, Keiichi Otomo didn't make a decision, but said that he would go back and discuss it with his partner again.

Kei Fujiwara was a little speechless, you can't make decisions yourself, what are you doing talking for so long? Waste of time. Whoever can make a decision, let him be brought out with him.

But I also understand that some people make decisions that are very grinding. This is especially true for those who are engaged in art.

The scholars rebelled, and they failed for ten years; It's also very troublesome for artists to talk about business. Fujiwara Kei didn't insist, nor did he show displeasure, but just agreed on the time of the next meeting, and then paid and left.

…… In the past two weeks, the latest two episodes of "The White Tower" and "Blue Life and Death Love" have aired. Needless to say, "The White Tower" continued to dominate the charts, directly occupying the throne of the ratings champion for the whole month, and the gap between it and the second place was as high as four percentage points.

In addition, as a medical drama, it has been widely discussed like never before, and most of the discussion has focused on Goro Chozen's realism and Satomi's idealism, and the audience has their own opinions.

The conflict of personalities and values between the two protagonists is also the reason why this drama can attract audiences and spark heated discussions.

Due to the popularity of this drama, another medical drama of the same period, "Golden Left Hand" in the ninth period of Fushan Taiyue, is obviously shorter.

It was originally a comic adaptation and had a fan base, but after a month and a half of broadcasting, the popularity and discussion were far below the original work "White Tower".

Because the degree of discussion was overwhelmed by another drama of the same type, even if it is not a drama in the same time period, there is no direct competition.

But the ratings of the show "Golden Left Hand" still stagnated, and even fell. It's not hard to understand that any drama will have old audiences leave all the time.

No matter how good the drama is, this is the case. Because no drama can appeal to everyone. But there will be new viewers coming in to maintain the ratings.

If the new audience is the same as the departing audience, the ratings are flat; If there are more new viewers than departing viewers, then the ratings will increase and vice versa.

The influx of new audiences requires the spontaneous promotion of the previous audience, and now most of the medical dramas that the audience focuses on discussing are "The White Tower", so that the discussion environment of this "Golden Left Hand" is getting worse and worse.

Imagine a scene, when a fan of "Golden Left Hand" was about to introduce the show to his friends, someone next to him asked: "What is this show about?" ”

"Oh, this is a medical drama, the male protagonist is a doctor......"

"Ah, I've been watching a medical drama called "The White Tower" recently, and it's very good......" "Golden Left Hand" is facing this unfriendly environment.

Much of the discussion about "The Left Hand of Gold" later shifted the focus. From discussing the various strange pathologies of "Golden Left Hand", to discussing whether Goro Caizen, the protagonist of "The White Tower", has been doing right or wrong.

If it were him, in that white tower, would he become Goro Chozen, who saw people put dishes, or Shuji Satomi, who treated everyone equally, whether rich or poor?

forum.

"I just watched the fifth episode, how to say it, mixed tastes. This is not so much a medical drama as a vivid political drama and workplace drama. Regardless of all walks of life, as long as these people climb high enough, they will become politicians. The ugly face of a politician reveals that the people's lives, dignity, and rights are all tools they use to trade. ”

"I just watched the fifth episode and saw that the medical representative who sells medical devices was directly given up by Goro Chozen because he had no money. Doctors are more interested in fighting for power in Vanity Fair than saving lives. Sometimes I feel hopeless when I think that at the most vulnerable moment of a person's life, it is these guys who are in charge of their lives. ”

"Hahahaha, despair what? I'm in the same situation as the medical representative in the play, I have cancer, and in less than two months, the doctor has completely given up on me, so as not to occupy the bed, let me go home to spend my last days with my family. But I don't have any family. My parents divorced very early, went abroad, had their own families, and they didn't want to come back to see me for the last time. My fiancΓ© also left me. I'm just lying at home by myself now, eating painkillers as a meal. I'm very grateful to the drama "The White Tower" for accompanying me in my last days, haha, I've been fantasizing about having a handsome doctor like Shuji Satomi always accompanying me. ”

"Oh my God."

"Seeing such a reply, I can't sleep again tonight."

"Haha, it's okay. I've accepted my fate now. I hope that in the next life, I can live the life of a rich lady who is loved by my parents, and that may be a good thing. ”

"I'm sorry you have this in the case, but we are from Tokyo University of Literature and Arts, and we have recently formed a community organization with several schools to provide ultimate care to patients like you. Can you give me a contact information? The students of Tokyo University of Literature and Art waited in front of their computers, and after a long time, the poster sent a private email: "Hello, do you also have a handsome hospice like Shuji Satomi?" Everyone in front of the computer looked at each other, and then typed two words: "Yes." ”
