Chapter 449: Studio Ghibli

Kei Fujiwara writes a literary script, which is not as clear as Keiichi Otomo's manga script, but the genre and expression are close, and the look and flow are not bad.

So, Keiichi Fujiwara and Keiichi Otomo sat down quietly at the same time, reading each other's works. After a long time, Kei Fujiwara finished reading Keiichi Otomo's manga script, and when he looked up, he found that Keiichi Otomo was still reading, and he didn't bother him, but continued to look at some details again.

The first time I read it, I read it as a reader; And the second time, it will be considered as the boss of the film and television company.

Whether this story is suitable for investment or not. Keiichi Otomo is a very versatile director, most of his works are written by himself, and now there are many works, and his screenwriting ability is quite mature and mellow.

This can be seen from this comic script he gave himself...... But when Kei Fujiwara watched it again, he still fell into hesitation.

It is true that the story is very complete, but whether it is a blockbuster or not, Kei Fujiwara is not sure. Of course, this is an original work, not a copy.

There is no guaranteed success in a project without predicting the outcome. It stands to reason that if a thing has a five-point power, you can do it without your hands.

Doing business comes with certain risks. This manga by Keiichi Otomo is a science fiction theme, about many years ago, monkeys living in the forest had to go down a tree because of a huge fire, some monkeys began to survive on the ground, and some monkeys chose to enter the ocean in order to escape the beasts.

In the end, the two groups of monkeys went in different evolutionary directions, and the depths of the sea also gave birth to civilization, which tells the story of a pair of teenagers and girls who go to the depths of the sea to find a lost civilization.

The story also contains metaphors for anti-war and embrace, and it is a work with deep themes. But what Kei Fujiwara has to think about is, will there be a market for science fiction in Ben?

It can't be said that there are none, in the parallel world, "Godzilla" and "The Sinking of the Book" are both blockbuster works, but there are not many such works.

And these two are not pure science fiction works, one is a special effect, and the other is a disaster movie.

There is actually no shortage of science fiction soil in this book, and many anime works have science fiction themes, such as mecha, cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic adventure and other genres are carried forward in Japanese comics.

But most of these are in the skin of science fiction, in fact action-adventure stories. And there is also a difference between anime movies and anime dramas, in fact, there are not many examples of science fiction movies that are blockbusters in China.

Kei Fujiwara was still thinking about whether to adopt the script, but he heard the sound of the script on the table, and when he looked up, Keiichi Otomo had also finished reading it, put the script on the table and started drinking tea.

The two exchanged glances, and both seemed to be asking each other the same question: What is this script like? Kei Fujiwara

"Cough" and said, "I'll say it first." Overseer Otomo, this script story of yours is still new. But this story is too educational, should it be revised? Megumi Otomo pushed his glasses and said, "After the film is filmed, it will definitely be different from the current script, but even if it is modified, it will not change too much, and the core of the script will be retained." Fujiwara-sensei, aren't you optimistic about this story? Although Keiichi Otomo is determined on the surface, he is still nervous inside, he knows that Kei Fujiwara, as a creator, has an unprecedented achievement of [winning a hundred battles].

This means that he has more control and observation of the market than ordinary people can imagine, and if he is not optimistic about this script, then Keiichi Otomo's own confidence will also be greatly affected.

"It's not optimistic, but after all, I haven't been in contact with animation before, and it's inevitable to be overly cautious when I first participate in an animation project, don't be surprised." Kei Fujiwara said with a smile.

Hearing this, Megumi Otomo nodded. Heart: It makes sense. Although Fujiwara-sensei is famous in the broadcasting and literary worlds, he is still a newcomer in the animation industry after all, and he is still a layman compared to himself......

"By the way, Inspector Otomo, what do you think of the script for "Your Name"?" Fujiwara Kei suddenly changed the topic at this time, from Keiichi Otomo's script to his own script.

"Uh, this? Very interesting.,It's also a very imaginative book.。 Megumi Otomo glanced at the literary script on the table and said,

"Mr. Fujiwara, the volume of this script is not large, it shouldn't be a TV drama script, is it a new movie you want to make?"

"Yes." Kei Fujiwara said,

"But I think this story is more suitable for animation. Otomo-sensei, are you interested in giving it a try? Megumi Otomo was stunned for a moment and continued, "You want to animate this script?" Hope I do it? Kei Fujiwara said, "Apart from your studio, there is no second animation department in Mizuba Productions right now, so who are you?" Keiichi Otomo hesitated for another three seconds and said, "Fujiwara-sensei, do you remember our agreement?" Kei Fujiwara shrugged,

"Of course, I promised you that I wouldn't interfere too much in the creation of the animation, so this is just a suggestion. But you promised me that getting box office revenue would be the most important goal for the studio. ”

"Of course." Hearing this, Keiichi Otomo was subconsciously a little unhappy in his heart, is this questioning my ability to achieve box office results?

But the person who said this was Kei Fujiwara, a character who could get a record-breaking box office for the first time he shot a movie, so he couldn't express his displeasure directly.

"Since that's the case, let's do it, you give me two days, I'll take a good look at your script, and I'll give you two days."

"Okay." Keiichi Otomo agreed.

"By the way, is the new studio name ready?" Kei Fujiwara diverted the subject.

"Not yet...... I prepared a few, but when I was ready to register, I found that someone had already registered, and I am still negotiating a new name internally. Keiichi Otomo couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment.

Keiichi Otomo is also a creative talent, but he was stumped on the trivial matter of naming him.

Many of the animation companies and studios in this book use the name of the place as the name of the club, for example

"Kyoto Animation",

"Tokyo Animation" and the like. Keiichi Otomo's former studio

"Koganai Studio" is named after the location of the studio, which is located in Koganei City, a suburb of Tokyo.

This time I opened a new studio, I guess I want to imitate the previous style of the same name, but I found that it was so big, and these place names have been preempted.

Fujiwara Keiichi looked at Keiichi Otomo, scratched his temples, and suddenly said, "How about I help you get one?" Megumi Otomo nodded,

"That's great, I don't care what it's called, I just want to get on track as soon as possible. But there are people on the team who care about it, and it's annoying...... It's best if you come to take it, you're the biggest shareholder, and it's always okay to decide on such a small thing. Fujiwara smiled, took out the pen, took off the cap, and then wrote a string of English on the paper,

"How about that name?" Megumi Otomo looked at it: "Ghibli...... Ghibli? Meaning

"Seasonal hot winds over the Sahara Desert".

"What's the name? I took the name of an airplane from it, and I can change it if I don't think it's appropriate. Kei Fujiwara said, in fact, in his heart he hoped to use this name.

Keiichi Otomo silently recited the name a few times, and for some reason, it seemed as if there was some kind of feeling in the dark, and he liked the name very much.

So he raised his head and said, "I think it's a good name...... From then on, my studio would be called Ghibli. ”
