After several days, Fujiwara Keiichi finally saw Keiichi Otomo again, this time with Oshii-an next to him.

The three of them made an appointment at a famous restaurant near Studio Ghibli that sells omelet rice, and one of them ordered a flavor of omelet rice.

Kei Fujiwara ate with a spoon and asked, "How did Otomo-sensei think about it?"

Meiichi Otomo was silent for two seconds and asked rhetorically, "How did Fujiwara-sensei think about it?"

"Yes." Kei Fujiwara nodded and said, "According to the original agreement, Mizuba Productions fully respects Otomo-sensei's creative freedom, and I will still fulfill this promise and will not force Otomo-sensei to produce works on a specific theme, nor will I specify a script."

Keiichi Otomo looked at Kei Fujiwara.

Kei Fujiwara continued, "Of course, it's not really hard to pay lip service. I won't get stuck on your budget, and if you are still willing to shoot your previous script, I will invest in it, and I will also help you pull other investments to share the risk, and Ghibli can just concentrate on the core production tasks."

Keiichi Otomo breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved. Kei Fujiwara looked a little unwilling, "But is Otomo-sensei really not considering the script of "My Name"?"

"Tell me the truth...... "Keiichi Otomo," said Keiichi Otomo, "Fujiwara-sensei's script is very good. Especially in terms of commerciality, if this film can also show high quality in terms of presentation, then I don't think the box office of this movie will be lower than 4 billion."

Oshii-an couldn't help but glance at Megumi Otomo.

"But...... I still want to finish my original script...... It's a story that has always been in the back of my mind, and if I don't make it, I'll regret it until the day I retire."

Megumi Otomo sighed, "Actually, this script has already completed the original concept art design and character setting, if you don't consider the workload, only the creative level, this project is nearly half completed, and most of the rest is laborious work. But when they decided to start filming, investors were more optimistic about the studio's other film, called "Sea of Fire."

Kei Fujiwara had an impression of this animated film, which was released at about the same time as the movie version of "White Night Walking". The film did very well at the box office, and it also dug the last shovel for the dying "White Night Walking" movie.

"And after 'Sea of Fire,' there was a disagreement within the studio, and the film was put on hold, and I wanted to finish it." Keiichi Otomo said.

Fujiwara Kei was not depressed either, and nodded: "Okay, since you've decided......

"However, your 'My Name' is indeed a rare good script, and I don't want to give it up."

Kei Fujiwara smiled, "What if you don't give up? Can you work on two films at the same time? Otomo-sensei, you don't have to speak for the sake of my face."

"Not really." Keiichi Otomo said, "I think so from the bottom of my heart, and if President Fujiwara thinks that there is financial support, I would indeed like to see both films filmed at the same time."

Fujiwara Kei was stunned: "Otomo-sensei, are you serious?"

Megumi Otomo nodded, "Of course, but you misunderstood, I didn't mean that I was going to shoot two works alone. Instead, I helped you find a person who is more suitable for filming "My Name......

Kei Fujiwara looked at Oshii-an.

Oshii-an was a little embarrassed: "That's right, the person Otomo-sensei plans to recommend is me, in fact, this is also my self-recommendation. Mr. Otomo was entangled after reading the script of "My Name", and I liked it very much after reading it, so I told my teacher that I wanted me to shoot this movie. But my experience is not as good as that of Otomo-sensei, so I wonder if President Fujiwara is willing to ......."

Fujiwara Kei raised his hand, "I have always had full trust in Oshii-san's ability, even if you don't mention it, I will come up with another script for you." Since you like the script, that's great, it's up to you to direct."

"Fujiwara ......" Oshii-an was really moved, not only because he was trusted, but also because he had a special sense of gratitude to Fujiwara Kei himself, and he was even more grateful to see the other party trust him so much.

Oshii-an was depressed for a long time after the original Higashiani arson, but it was a short film by Kei Fujiwara that reinvigorated him.

In fact, at that time, Oshii-an was also trying to return to a normal state of life, but the fire and the dead colleagues gave him too much mental blow, and he couldn't get out of the pain for a while. He was like a man struggling to survive in the water, when a driftwood with Kei Fujiwara's name engraved on it floated on the water.

"Thank you very much. President Fujiwara." Keiichi Otomo also bowed his head and said.

"The specific plan, character design, and original art were presented to me as soon as possible, and although I promised not to interfere with your creation, I still want to know what to do, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Fujiwara Keido, "Also, Studio Ghibli doesn't have enough manpower right now, so if you need manpower, just go to Miss Mizuhara, and she'll help you contact the human resources department to raise manpower." Don't worry about the funds, and rely on me for all the investment, just concentrate on your creation."

As he spoke, Kei Fujiwara turned his head and shouted at the boss, "Boss, have another one!"

……

The cooperation with Fukuyama TV has also been restarted, of course, it is not a new work, but a sequel to those dramas that have been broadcast on Fukuyama TV according to the contract.

For example, the third season of "Renzaburo Furuhata" and "The Lonely Gourmet" were launched at the same time. Fujiwara Kei still maintains a very good relationship with Fukuyamadai, and although it is not a honey blend, it can be regarded as a respectful guest.

There were some small bumps and bumps that happened some time ago, and no one paid attention to them, and they would not be mentioned when Kei Fujiwara met with the senior management of Fukuyamadai.

After all, small frictions happen from time to time, and in order to make a small unspoken contradiction, the relationship is stiff, which is something that children will not do.

However, although the relationship is quite harmonious, Kei Fujiwara, the cooperation of the new TV series proposed by the senior management of the station, still declined because of the company's lack of production capacity.

Due to the previous contract, there are already many unfinished projects with Fukuyamadai, and there is no need to start a new cooperation until those projects are terminated.

There is no broadcast platform for Shuibo Production, and the most important task at this stage is to have a good relationship with all the five majors, if it is not necessary, it is best not to offend any of them, but don't have too deep a relationship with any of them.

The contracts that were bound to Fukuyamadai before were signed during his tenure with Yoshida Kashi, and now this guy has regretted it to death......

"Mr. Fujiwara, it's really not easy to make an appointment with you, but after many days, I finally see you again."

In the past month, the deputy director of Fukuyama Terrace has sent several invitations to Fujiwara Kei, but the first few times he has been politely declined by Fujiwara Kei on the grounds that he is busy with work.

But now that he wants to start a cooperation with Fukuyamatai, it seems that it is not so appropriate to continue to be so estranged, so he agreed to go to the banquet tonight.

As soon as he walked into the box, the deputy director of Fukuyamadai came over enthusiastically and shook hands with Kei Fujiwara.

Kei Fujiwara smiled and greeted each other, and at the same time his gaze swept slightly over the people in the box, there were not many people in the box, most of them were high-level people in Fukuyama Terrace. But there are also raw faces, and a very beautiful and fashionable woman has been smiling and staring at him, and her eyes are full of charm.

"This is Miss Sato, Miya Sato, who just came back from the United States and has been developing in Hollywood before. Her agency also cooperates with Taiwan, and we feel that Miss Zuoto is a very good actor, and it will not be long before she becomes popular again in China, so we specially introduced it to Mr. Fujiwara."

Fukuyamadai directly bypassed the others in the room and introduced her directly to Kei Fujiwara.
