Neon's inaugural activities are equivalent to China's fresh graduate enrollment seminar.

Each company will send relevant personnel to major universities to publicize, the main content is to explain the company's development process, as well as the company's future prospects, to attract more talents to join the company.

These inaugural events are aimed at juniors.

Normally, job hunting activities start around December every year, but pokeni is relatively late.

After the job hunting event, a written test and an interview are held at the school in June every year......

Once the screening is over, you can invite these students to the company for internships, and if you are satisfied with the internship, you will sign an employment contract with them and get an offer, also known as [internal appointment]

After graduation, the fresh graduates can seamlessly enter the company and become an employee.

P didn't have the money to do these activities before.

In addition, the company does not have the space or position to recruit people, so until now, Pokeni has not done job hunting activities for new graduates.

is overstretched, and he is talking about Qing Zhiyuan's miserable force.

However, for the development of the company, and at the same time to save money, in fact, recruiting fresh graduates is a good choice.

"Okay, when the time comes, we'll sort out the list, hmm......" Qing Zhiyuan stood up, opened a gap through the blinds, and observed the employees working outside.

"I'll leave this matter to ...... Ken Akanishi is in charge. ”

Hearing Ken Akanishi's name, Akane Ayase and Kazuma Takahashi breathed a long sigh of relief.

I almost thought that the president was going to name Xuan Xuyuan.

If you name Void Abyss Xuan, it's over, and if that guy goes to recruit, he'll either recruit weird people, or he'll scare people away.

In contrast, Ken Akanishi's [elderly] is very calm and gives people a sense of reliability.

In the entire Pokeni company, Akane Ayase could not find a more reliable member than Ken Akanishi.

But it's also very strange that this guy Xuyuan Xuan has only been in the company for a year, and he can get Qing Zhiyuan's favor.

It's obviously a guy with an unusually eccentric personality, and he doesn't look like......

Could it be that there is any ulterior secret between you and the president?

Thinking of this, Akane Ayase's eyes couldn't help but widen, as if she had discovered the truth of some world.

"Where's the intern?" Akane Ayase asked as she took notes.

"Yes, yes." Qing Zhiyuan looked back and said, "If you are an intern, don't be too restrictive, students from freshman to junior year can ask for it." When the time comes, let the heads of various departments take care of it. ”

Akane Ayase listened to the president's words and really wanted to jump up and hit him on the head.

"President, can you please be a little self-aware?"

Xiao HR took a step forward and looked at Qing Zhiyuan with big eyes, "Of course, excellent talents are trying their best to go to a big company like Rentian, and basically they are the ones who have been screened by others for several rounds before it is our turn." ”

Qing Zhiyuan frowned, "Don't say that, our company can be said to be a god in the galgame field." ”

"It's good to be able to find a few decent talents, and you still pick and choose." Akane Ayase said.

What is Pokeni's place in the gaming industry?

President, you don't have any numbers in your heart, huh?

"Oops. You've been itchy lately, haven't you? Qing Zhiyuan's face sank.

If I don't spank you today, you won't know who's the boss!

"Ahh Don't! Don't, right? ”

The little HR hurriedly took a step back and expressed his admit, "President, please forgive me, I was also carried away for a while, I don't know why my mouth moves faster than my brain, I accidentally said it." ”

"Hehe......"

Qing Zhiyuan let out two sneers.

"So, how about adding an HR position to the job list?"

"Ah...... Don't, President! Our company is so small, we don't need more than one HR. ”

"Small?!" Qing Zhiyuan frowned coldly, "You don't need more than 1, then change to HR." ”

"......" Akane Ayase's face was like ashes.

"President, you're joking, aren't you?"

"It must be a joke, right?"

……

January 10, 1992.

Tokyo.

Pokeni Co., Ltd.

"Oh no, President!" Early in the morning, Akane Ayase shouted, "President, it's over, it's over, it's over, president!" ”

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help frowning.

Is this guy a broom star? Such an unlucky thing to say early in the morning.

"What's wrong? Isn't doing well in job hunting activities? None of them signed up for our company? Qing Zhiyuan asked with a grim face.

That's a bit miserable.

It stands to reason that this shouldn't have ended this way.

Pokeni is also the leader in the galgame field, and how many companies have to keep up with and learn from Pokeni.

Diablo is also a very classic game, and its peers have praised it.

There's no reason why you can't attract fresh graduates.

Unless these college students never set foot in the galgame realm.

"Nope." Akane Ayase clutched her chest and gasped, "It's not about the job hunting event, it's going quite well, and many LSPs are pouring in like sea water when they hear that it's pokeni, and the applications they submit are as high as mountains." ”

Belch......

Although I heard that there were so many applications, I was really happy in my heart.

But I always feel weird.

"But," Ching Chi Won said, patting the table and pretending to be angry, "please don't use LSPs to describe our cute players, okay?" They also submitted their applications with a vision for the future and an ideal for life. ”

"Okay president." Akane Ayase clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face showing no remorse, "I know I was wrong, president, I'm sorry for the players." ”

"So what did you just say that something was wrong?" Qing Zhiyuan asked suspiciously.

"Isn't our company looking for Kyoto Animation to produce an onmyoji? It's set for 7 p.m. on January 24th, right? ”

"Hmm. What's wrong? ”

Qing Zhiyuan looked at the expression on her face, and was panicked by what the little HR said.

Could it be that something happened in the middle of the way that caused the animation to not play?

No, I've seen the content of the first episode with my own eyes, and it's not bad.

And then ...... Here's the most troublesome thing," Akane Ayase turned back to her workstation, took a printed document in, and handed it to Seichiyuan.

"SUNRISE's 'Hatsuzakura Senki' also premiered on January 24th, and like us, it was on TV Tokyo."

"And ......," Akane Ayase said after a pause, "this cartoon is the same Sengoku theme, and the content has crashed solidly with ours!" ”

"What?!"

……

After listening to her words, Qing Zhiyuan's cold sweat fell.

The first reaction was to call TEPCO and ask for the broadcast of "Onmyoji" to be rescheduled.

If it's like what Akane Ayase said, then after the anime is broadcast, it will definitely be compared by the audience.

But what is Sunrise?

This company was founded not very early, it was established in 1972, and in the neon of masters, Sunrise is certainly not as good as a behemoth like Toei.

However, in contrast, Sunrise is clearly more famous than the current Kyoto Animation.

They have been able to produce animation independently for a long time, and have since released many well-known animation works.

The most famous is the Mobile Suit Gundam series.

Even this series can represent neon to some extent, in the previous life in "Ready Player One" directed by Steven Spielberg, the moment when the neon man transformed into a Gundam was enough to make the audience in the entire movie theater cheer.

Then it was City Hunter that took Sunrise to new heights.

Then there is "The Legend of the Demon God Heroes", which was translated into China and called "Dragon Warrior"

……

In short, Sunrise's fame is definitely not comparable to that of a small company like Kyoto Animation.

But in Qing Zhiyuan's impression, Sunrise has always taken the mecha-style route, and he has never heard of this cartoon called "The First Sakura War" in his previous life.

Did they get it wrong, and how did they suddenly think of making a Warring States period cartoon?

Yes......

Couldn't it be because Pokeni changed the original timeline and the appearance of Onmyoji sparked a wave of ancient craze?

No way?

Qing Zhiyuan is still self-aware of this, no matter how much Pokeni's influence is not so great.

Then it can only be explained by the butterfly effect.

It doesn't matter if you hit the theme, the most important thing is the front and back foot broadcast.

After watching Sunrise's First Sakura War, will the audience continue to watch "Onmyoji" with the same theme?

Even if you watch it, then the two cartoons are so similar, they will inevitably compare them.

The current Kyoto animation is obviously not strong enough, and many shortcomings will be exposed in comparison.

At this moment, Qing Zhiyuan has already greeted the eighteen generations of TEPCO's presidents and ancestors.

How short of money does this have to be to think of putting these two animations next to each other?

How so?

KyoAni's fate is so similar to Pokeni's, both of them are small lotuses before they show their sharp corners and are run over by behemoths.

Can you still rise again?

"What about the president?" Akane Ayase asked.

Just then, the phone outside rang as well.

Little HR hurriedly ran over and picked up the phone.

"Hey, okay."

She covered the microphone and turned to look at Qing Zhiyuan, "It's Kyoto Animation who called, asking us how to deal with this matter, is it to negotiate with TV Tokyo to postpone the animation?" ”

"Hmm. Take the phone. Qing Zhiyuan said.

According to normal thinking, it should indeed be explained and the schedule should be adjusted, otherwise if it hits it like this, it will be equivalent to the Titanic hitting an iceberg.

No, it should be a small fishing boat that crashes into a large cruise ship.

But in this way, TEPCO has to adjust the new ones in the future, and P has to pay them a liquidated damages in accordance with the contract.

Not only did it make the relationship unharmonious, but it also lost a sum of money, and it would be troublesome to continue paving the way in the future.

"Well, wait,"

At that moment, a bright light flashed through his brain.

Qing Zhiyuan calmed down, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Don't worry too much." ”

"No, not only don't worry, but celebrate, it's not necessarily a bad thing for us. Great, if you can collide with the animation of Sunrise. ”

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan quickly picked up the phone and said to KyoAni, "Yes, you don't need to change it, don't worry too much, just follow our existing rhythm." ”

"Mmmm, believe in yourself."

"Huh?" Akane Ayase's heart jumped, and she tilted her head to look at Qing Zhiyuan.

This president can't be a brain problem, right?

……

KyoAni's side.

When Masaharu Kigami put down the phone, he always had the illusion that he wanted to turn his life upside down.

If it weren't for the need for him for work, I'm afraid he would have fainted by this time.

The rest of KyoAni's employees focused on him and wanted to ask, but they didn't know how to ask.

After two seconds, President Hideaki Hatta looked at Kigami and asked, "How's it going, what did Pokeni say?" ”

Kigami Yiji looked confused, and his whole brain was still a mess, but he only looked up when he heard the president's question.

The eyeballs rolled twice, as if the soul had been drained.

Everyone couldn't help but feel anxious in their hearts.

"Qing, Qing President......" Kigami Masaharu only felt a dry mouth, swallowed his saliva silently, and recalled the content of the phone call just now, "President Qing said that there is no need to change anything, the schedule will be set according to the current one, and then let us work here."

He said he believed us. ”

"Huh?"

Everyone stared at each other with wide eyes, and for a moment they couldn't believe that this was Pokeni's reply.

But......

It was the first time I felt the sense of trust that I had been entrusted with my dreams, and it was really moving.

"Hmm."

Hatta Hideaki propped his hands on his knees and nodded earnestly.

"There's no better way to do it now."

"President Youth has always believed in us. It's us who underestimate ourselves. ”

"For our sake, and in order to live up to the expectations of the youth president, we must redouble our efforts."

Hatta Hideaki smiled at the corner of his mouth and stood up silently, his eyes bursting with fire.

Even though he is over half a hundred years old, he is full of fighting spirit like a young man at this moment.

It had been a long, long time since he had experienced this feeling.

It's as if blood is burning.

"In this way, President Youth wants to tell us that there is nothing to be afraid of Sunrise, even if it hits the subject. There has always been only one of our enemies—

That's who we are.

As long as you defeat yourself, it doesn't matter if you succeed or fail. ”

"Everyone, let's rush!" Hatta clenched his fists and shouted.

"Rush!"

"Yo !!"

Everyone clenched their fists and exhaled.

Kigami Yiji's eyes were slightly moist, and he opened his mouth, and there was a sentence that had not yet been conveyed in place-

President Ayo said that it was a good thing to have a crash.

But now, it seems that he can already understand the plight of President Qing.

He wanted to see if KyoAni could maintain his concentration, whether he could exert 200% of his strength in such an extreme situation when facing a strong enemy like Sunrise, and whether he could work hard enough-

As long as you do this, you have nothing to fear.

President Aoi!

You're amazing.

And we will live up to your expectations!

……

January 24, 1992.

4:50 p.m.

Sunrise Co., Ltd.

Katsuyoshi Tanidabe, the director of the new anime "Hatsuzakura Senki", is already waiting in front of the TV with his hands crossed.

He was joined by other colleagues from the company.

Today is the day of the premiere of "Hatsuzakura Senki" on TV Tokyo.

And it's the prime time at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Katsuyoshi Tanitabe is also a well-known supervisor, and at Sunrise Co., Ltd., he directed the anime "Sun Brave" last year, and achieved good results.

In addition to "The Sun Brave", the most famous masterpiece of Katsuyoshi Tanitabe in the previous life is also called "Blade Fang".

As an overseer, he has always been known for his vigorous painting style, smooth movements, and full of the iron-blooded taste of men.

The reason why the first Sakura War Ji used him as an overseer this time was also because of this.

The ancient Warring States wanted swords and swords, steel wrists, and men's blood.

The cherry blossoms and the knife give people the feeling of having a tiger in their hearts, sniffing roses.

Such a work will inevitably be praised by the world.

Katsuyoshi Tanitabe is quite confident in his work.

Of course, this is also a necessary quality for every director, and if you don't have confidence and expectation in the work itself, then you can't make an animation that satisfies the audience anyway.

……

It's just that a recent rumor on the rivers and lakes made him quite concerned-

Many people expressed their desire to see which one of Sunrise's "Hatsuzakura Senki" or Kyoto Animation's "Onmyoji" had the higher ratings.

Being compared side by side is unpleasant in itself.

What's even more uncomfortable is that he recently learned that the animation called "Onmyoji" was actually adapted from the game of the same name.

And the game itself is a galgame that doesn't go into the stream.

Tanadabe Katsuyoshi couldn't help frowning, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt.

Is it really feasible to change this kind of thing?

The world's first game-modified animation, which is estimated not many people know, is a Pokémon in 1996.

After the animation, bring the game to life.

It can be said that Qingzhiyuan's concept is very advanced.

At least 4 years ahead of the current situation.

In other words, Onmyoji, which is now produced by Kyoto Animation, will be the world's first anime adaptation of a game.

This in itself is very suspicious of peers.

If you are a player who has already played the game, you will definitely be picky.

And if you haven't played a game, why should you watch your cartoons?

The so-called game animation itself has a huge user base, and this matter is not valid at all, but it will become a thing that drags it back.

In the end, the competition is the quality of the animation itself and the level of the script.

Thinking of this, Tanidabe Katsuyoshi couldn't help but laugh for a while.

How many low-level animation companies have to take on such a job.

And......

The topic of this animation is very bad.

Compared with Sunrise, it is tantamount to dancing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

If Katsuyoshi Tanitabe had known that TV Tokyo would broadcast two cartoons with similar themes on the same day, he would not have let "The Tale of the First Sakura" be broadcast on TEPCO.

But now that we've come this far......

Then crush them hard.

Just like the samurai in Hatsuzakura Senki!
