In mid-December, as soon as Qing Zhiyuan walked into the company and sat down in his office, he saw the little HR coming over with a flushed face and a thing.

From the moment he stepped through the company's door, this guy had been staring at him the whole time.

"President!"

Akane Ayase shouted mysteriously.

"What?" Qing Zhiyuan took a step back, "Don't be like this, it's a little creepy." ”

"Humph! President, you bad guy, people are kind enough to help you bring important things. Akane Ayase puffed out her little face and glared at Qing Zhiyuan with a resentful look in her eyes.

"What's important?" Qing Zhiyuan asked suspiciously.

"You know what?"

Akane Ayase smiled, and didn't seem to take the president's insulting words too seriously, but took out an envelope hidden behind her back and handed it to Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned, and didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.

"It can't be a blade, right?"

Since the last time Akane Ayase was told the correct way to send a blade, he now has a natural fear of envelopes, especially some letters of unknown origin.

The worst thing is that Qing Zhiyuan glanced at it and saw that the name of the recipient on the envelope was not Gu Yuan Tsubaki, but his Qing Zhiyuan himself.

White teeth.

Isn't it time that your identity will be revealed?

"President, do you have paranoia about being victimized?" Akane Ayase gently smoothed the envelope with her hands, for fear that it would be stained with a trace of dust, and then pinched the left and right corners with both hands and handed it to Qing Zhiyuan again.

"It's a letter from Studio Ghibli."

"Ghibli?" Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and his heart was even more puzzled.

Studio Ghibli of course knows that the famous Hayao Miyazaki, the old man's movie Seong Chi Won did not watch less in his previous life.

It's just that he is different from others in that in his mind, the first place in Miyazaki's work is not 2001's "Spirited Away", but 1997's "Princess Mononoke"

In Qing Zhiyuan's view, although "Spirited Away" is very famous and internationally renowned, Princess Mononoke seems to be more representative in terms of depth and level of thought.

Of course, basically as long as it is Hayao Miyazaki's work, Qing Zhiyuan likes it very much.

"Why Ghibli? We don't have anything to do with Studio Ghibli. Qing Zhiyuan was confused and completely confused.

"Don't you know when you see it?" Akane Ayase said with a smile.

It's over, and it seems to remember something, so he added, "Don't worry, the real Studio Ghibli doesn't have blades." ”

……

Qing Zhiyuan nodded, took the envelope, opened it and read it.

This is an invitation from Studio Ghibli.

In this day and age, computers and the Internet are not yet available, let alone e-mail.

So the invitation is sent out through a paper invitation letter.

In this invitation letter, Miyazaki writes the entire letter by hand, and in a sincere tone hopes that Qing Zhiyuan will participate in an interview with Studio Ghibli next month, that is, on January 24, 1993.

【……

Although it is a bit presumptuous and unashamed, after all, this interview is about "Porco Rosso", and I don't know if President Qing has seen this movie.

It seems quite rude, as if the invitation has become a "urging".

And the youth president will definitely wonder if there is value worth talking about because Miyazaki has never even met him.

It doesn't matter if you don't watch Porco Rosso.

It doesn't matter if you haven't met.

It is precisely because they have never met that they are called "invitations"

The reason why I invited President Youth is not to talk to you about "Porco Rosso"

On the contrary, after playing your company's "Your Name", I got a lot of inspiration and wanted to have a long talk with you.

For the game, for the animation, for the relationship between the two, and for the future development, that's what I really want to discuss with you.

Cordially invited.

Be sure to think about it.

Studio Ghibli

Sincerely, Hayao Miyazaki. 】

After Qing Zhiyuan read it, the whole person was a little dazed, and he was in a fog.

Although Miyazaki said it in the letter with a very reasonable appearance, he still has a sense of unreality-

Why invite me?

I'm the president of a small company, and I'm not famous at all.

He handed the letter to Akane Ayase and motioned for her to take a look.

"Wow !!"

Before Qing Zhiyuan could speak, Akane Ayase shouted excitedly.

"President! This is Hayao Miyazaki. ”

"Can you take me with you?"

Qing Zhiyuan gave her a roll of his eyes.

"Please." Akane Ayase hurriedly folded her hands and asked, "I like Hayao Miyazaki's movies very much, I will pour you tea when the time comes, and I will never disturb your conversation." When you go to such an important interview, don't you think about bringing a secretary or something? ”

Hehe.

Qing Zhiyuan sneered twice.

You're a secretary now?

"But? Why invite me? Qing Zhiyuan felt very incredible.

In his previous life, after the release of "Porco Rosso", Miyazaki gave an interview and invited a guest to conduct a show in the form of a tea party.

Although this conversation is relaxed and freehand, everyone is basically talking about their own ideals, and revolves around Porco Rosso, but it is called a peak dialogue.

Because sitting opposite Miyazaki is a god-level figure in another field-

Shigeru Miyamoto.

The two of them are talking about the similarities and differences between games and animations.

During the conversation, the two had an in-depth exchange of creative concepts and techniques for games and animation.

Especially when Miyazaki's old habit of crooked buildings recurred, and he began to gush on his understanding of the image of "landscape", even the editorial department could not bear it, and had to end with "The content of the discussion was too grand and cutting-edge, and everyone gradually became confused and did not dare to squeak...".

The old man should be quite talkative, and he is crooked every day.

But......

Maybe Qing Zhiyuan and him are inexplicably compatible, but it is not necessarily.

"Don't you know if you go?" Akane Ayase looked down at the invitation letter in her hand, "I want to discuss the relationship between games and animations with you." President, didn't you come from a background in original painting, but that's your strength? ”

"Huh?"

……

Going is definitely going to go.

After all, it was personally invited by the master, but Qing Zhiyuan didn't prepare at all in his heart.

The relationship between animation and games, this scope is too wide, and he doesn't know what to talk about himself.

Fortunately, it's still early, and there's still a month to go.

Seijigen asks Akane Ayase to record the time and schedule it for his next month's trip.

"Okay president."

Akane Ayase, the secretary, deserves to do her duty.

And this matter should be quite important, it is not easy to have a chance to talk to the master once in his life, and it was personally invited by Miyazaki.

Until now, Akane Ayase hadn't really figured out why.

Hayao Miyazaki, that guy is only in his 50s, so his brain can't do it?

Even if Pokeni has made a few good games, Qing Zhiyuan is not well-known in the industry.

Games and animation are completely two different realms.,Even if it's an invitation.,At least it should be Miyamoto Shigeru, right?

According to Akane Ayase's thoughts, the basis of this kind of master dialogue must be that both parties are masters.

In the past, the president was not worthy of virtue at all, or Qing Zhiyuan was a younger brother, and he definitely couldn't talk about it, so he just listened to the lectures.

Uh-huh.

It must be so.

Akane Ayase can almost imagine what the scene will be when the time comes, and the president is estimated to be like a schoolboy.

Qing Zhiyuan raised his head, only to see that the expression on the face of the guy in front of him was cloudy, sometimes frowning and sometimes laughing.

I'm afraid I'm going to become a sperm?

"By the way, by the way, I'll arrange it for you too." Qing Zhiyuan said expressionlessly.

"Huh?!"

When Akane Ayase heard this, she laughed brightly as if she had been treasured.

"Holo, President!"

……

It's still early, so the matter will be put on hold for the time being.

Qing Zhiyuan quickly returned to work.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the members of the company are immersed in the boom of game sales, and they have no intention of working these days.

"By the way, how many new people will come to our company next year?" Qing Zhiyuan looked at Akane Ayase, suddenly remembered her HR identity, and asked.

December is not only the harvest season of "Your Name", but also the most important part of Pokeni's talent training system.

Basically, the reservation will be distributed during this time period, and then students who have already received the POKENI reservation will be able to report to the company after the graduation season in March next year.

We are about to enter the 21st century.

What is the most expensive in the 21st century?

Talent!

The development of any company depends on the young people of the future, and if there is a shortage of talents, then the company has no future at all.

Qing Zhiyuan's biggest advantage over others is that he treasures the talents born in the field of future games.

"Wait a minute."

Akane Ayase bowed slightly, then ran out, looked through it carefully, and returned to the president's office with a stack of materials.

"There are quite a few people who have applied to our company this year." Little HR sat down on the sofa, placed the information on his lap, and said proudly as he looked at it.

Her pile of information is visibly thick.

In addition to the applicants' resumes, there are also some works attached by the guys.

In the past two years, the development of Pokeni has been really rapid, faster than riding a rocket.

One game after another, like a bomb, directly exploded the entire game industry with a bang, shaking the ground.

However, it is precisely under such circumstances that Akane Ayase becomes more and more happy and proud of the company she works for.

"You know, two years ago, college students had never heard of our company's name, and at that time it was really miserable, and no one wanted to come to Pokeni."

I think back then, Atsushi Shirakawa was invited by President Qing himself, and others refused.

Qing Zhiyuan's brows furrowed twice.

I don't know what this guy is proud of.

"yes, I've never seen such an idle HR at that time." Qing Zhiyuan teased.

"President!"

Little HR pouted.

"Would you please respect my profession?"

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

HR like Akane Ayase is actually quite professional, and he can usually use it for amusement and as a secretary, so he thinks it's really worth it.

The original owner who didn't cross over back then was able to find such an HR, and he was also a talent.

"There will be a lot of newcomers next year, and offers have been issued, and there are 13 people who have been decided.

There are several internships at the company. ”

Akane Ayase smiled and took out some of the resumes from a pile of materials and handed them to Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan hurriedly scanned it and found that the people on it didn't know each other very well.

"Anyway, you've all been interviewed, and I trust your judgment." Qing Zhiyuan put the information on the table.

Now the company is really growing.

There is not even a day when I don't feel such a firm power, and that vigorous burst of vitality is permeating every corner of Pokeni and filling everyone's body.

This is the greatest confidence that a successful work can bring to a company.

……

Akane Ayase explained to Qing Zhiyuan, and he almost had a preliminary impression of these people.

"Mmmm, Pokeni is getting stronger." Qing Zhiyuan sighed with a smile, "We strive to make two more games next year, and then become a company with 300 people within 5 years!" ”

Gee.

Akane Ayase smiled embarrassedly, this guy just got a little better and jumped into the sky.

I don't want to think about the time when Pokeni was in bankruptcy crisis.

"President, have you forgotten someone?"

At this moment, the little HR reminded.

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan pondered for two seconds, and asked suspiciously, "Who?" ”

"Hey...... I knew it. ”

Akane Ayase sighed and pulled out a document from the folder and placed it on Seongjiwon's desk.

Qing Zhiyuan glanced at it and found that there was a photo of a thin boy pasted on it, with the three big characters [Ma Zhi Zhun] written in the upper left corner.

Yes!

Qing Zhiyuan suddenly realized.

How did I forget about him?

"Have you forgotten?" Akane Ayase sighed and said, "At that time, you yourself promised at the player symposium that you would let him come over after graduating from high school. Although I know you are talking casually, this kid seems to be serious. ”

Qing Zhiyuan opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Akane Ayase preemptively said, "But this guy's interview is not very ideal, are you sure you still want him?" ”

"If you don't want to use hemp branches, I'll find a reason to send him away."

"Of course I'm serious!" Qing Zhiyuan hurriedly pressed Ma Zhizhun's resume, "This guy has to get in." ”

"Huh?!" Akane Ayase looked at him like an idiot.

Is the president actually a man who walks the talk?!

……

Ma Zhi Jun is known as the tear-jerking demon king in the galgame field.

That's right, it's the title that players now give to [Ancient Plains Tsubaki].

The strength is definitely not to be said.

And this guy's ability is really strong, not only can he write a masterpiece's script, but he is also very good in the field of concept art and music.

For example, AIR's Opening song "Bird Poem" in "AIR" was written by Jun Aeda himself, and KANON's "Dream Trace" was composed by himself.

It's quite a versatile talent.

Qing Zhiyuan had no reason to turn him away.

At that time, it was because this guy was still young and did not meet the company's employment standards, but now he graduated from high school and can come to Pokeni to do things.

However, after Ma Zhi came over, he would definitely have to train for a while first, and like Shinji Mikami, it was impossible for him to be able to work as a producer as soon as he came up.

Ma Zhijun, who has not gone to university in Tokyo, can have a certain level in his previous life, in fact, Qing Zhiyuan is not good.

Talents, like flowers, take time to cultivate.

However, since it is Ma Zhizhun, Qing Zhiyuan feels that it is not a big problem, and when he grows to the age of 18 years old, his personality and brain circuits have basically stabilized.

Kanon?

Or AIR?

Qing Zhiyuan is very much looking forward to Ma Zhijun's first work in the future.

In the tearjerker trilogy, the pinnacle must be Clannad, but based on his judgment of Jun Asaeda, this guy may not be able to write it now.

After Ma Zhizhun came, he must have been asked to be the script planner first, but in this way, Ma Zhijun had some duplication with Xuyuan Xuan in terms of positioning, and he could only scatter the two of them in different project teams.

Then it is inevitable that the producer of the project team will be able to control it.

Yes......

There's no producer to use it.

Qing Zhiyuan felt a heart stop.

The producer is really crucial, equivalent to the soul of the game, and the analogy is the general director of the movie.

There are many such talents in Neon, but they are also lacking, because the training cycle of producers is very long, and the loyalty is generally relatively high, and it is difficult for Qing Zhiyuan, a producer trained by other companies, to dig up.

So the best way is to dig and cultivate from within.

So far, after two years, Shinji Mikami has only looked a little bit better.

Where can we get another one?

……

But just in the process of chatting with Akane Ayase, he remembered someone.

"Akane-chan."

"Huh?" Akane Ayase looked up.

"You help me go to Shizuoka Prefecture to check on someone, this guy should be graduating."

"Who?" Akane Ayase asked suspiciously.

"Hidetaka Miyazaki."
