Ghibli's proposal does not mean that Princess Mononoke will be completely produced by Pokeni, but that the animated film will be licensed to Pokeni for gamification after its release.

In this case, there are generally several different business models.

The first is a buyout, where the "Princess Mononoke" game is fully licensed to Pokeni to develop, and Pokeni pays a one-time royalty, after which the game's income is not related to Ghibli.

The second is the sharing model, where Pokeni can choose to pay a portion of the royalty or not at all, but the game revenue needs to be shared by Ghibli.

In both modes, in the end, it depends on which one has the higher returns, but in the early stage of the negotiation, it mainly depends on whether you have confidence in the game.

If you think that the game will be a big seller and you will get more revenue from the share, then it is better to choose the latter.

As for whether Ghibli will interfere with the development of P Society's games, this will require a separate agreement.

At least from Miyazaki's personal experience, he still hopes to be able to supervise the whole process, not to mention participating in the development, at least to know what Pokeni has done here, instead of licensing Technopolis Soft to develop a piece of like the previous Wind Valley, which smashed Ghibli's signboard.

Everyone came with a sincere heart of cooperation, and this time it was the first time in 10 years that Miyazaki finally took the first step bravely, so everyone talked about each other as much as possible, and in such a situation, the atmosphere in the conference room was not to mention how good.

And soon the two sides reached an agreement that Pokeni would pay a certain royalty fee and then share it with Ghibli.

The progress of the game development will be communicated with Ghibli on a regular basis, but Ghibli will not interfere in the development of the game, and Ghibli will not be involved in the whole process of the future game on what platform it will be released on, what type of game will be made, and the method and process of production.

Ghibli is only responsible for whether the game violates Princess Mononoke's character setting, theme, and background lighting principles.

……

In short, there are a lot of clauses, and today's meeting is also a preliminary consensus, and there will be two or three more detailed negotiations in the future, and lawyers will also be involved.

After everything has been negotiated, the contract is drawn up and signed by both parties.

But this meeting was the most important and productive.

Most of the content has been talked about about the same, and both sides are relatively satisfied, win-win cooperation, and no one accommodates anyone.

The production cycle of "Princess Mononoke" on Ghibli's side is about 2 years, and it will probably not be released until 96, so in order not to spoil the box office results, the game will lag even further.

So Pokeni has plenty of time.

……

After the "Princess Mononoke" chat, Qing Chiyuan packed the script and settings of "LIFE-LINE" into a bag and handed it to Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki.

In order to make it easier for the old man to read and understand, Qing Zhiyuan even drew some illustrations.

I wanted to make a composition script, but it took too much time.

"Okay, I'll take a good look when I go back."

Several people stood up to take their leave.

……

The next afternoon, Toshio Suzuki found Miyazaki on the balcony behind the studio.

When he was found, the old man was sitting on a wooden chair, smoking a cigarette and wiping tears from his palms.

On his lap is the script for the new game "LIFE-LINE" that Pokeni gave yesterday.

Toshio Suzuki suddenly felt a little funny, this guy couldn't be found anywhere, everyone was waiting for him to have a meeting, who would have thought that he would come here to study the script without saying a word?

But......

What's going on with this guy?

Crying?

Or is it uncomfortable for the eyes?

"Miyazaki?" Toshio Suzuki squealed cautiously.

"Huh? That one...... That ......"

Miyazaki quickly put on his glasses, but they were a little foggy due to a layer of moisture on them.

"I just had a little pain in my eyes all of a sudden, and I ended up crying all the time...... Nothing has been good until now. ”

Miyazaki laughed.

Upon seeing Miyazaki's flustered movements, Toshio Suzuki confirmed that the guy was really crying.

Toshio Suzuki pulled a chair and sat down, glancing down at the script on Miyazaki's lap.

"Pokeni's new work seems to be good, but unfortunately I haven't had time to read it yet, so I'll go back and read it tonight." Toshio Suzuki said.

"Hmm." Miyazaki nodded, "It's pretty well written." Pokeni has a very good script writer, and with a talented game maker like Qing Zhiyuan, it is really enviable. ”

He covered the document with his palm and patted it gently, as if he were holding a cute kitten in his arms, and rubbed it lightly with his hand.

"I ...... I think of when I was a child...... At that time, Wu Lang was really naughty and cute, but unfortunately I didn't accompany him well.

I regret it now that I think about it. ”

Goro Miyazaki is the eldest son of Hayao Miyazaki and is now 26 years old.

After graduating from university, Goro Miyazaki joined the landscape architecture consulting firm "Mori Green Land Design Office".

He has taken over many projects related to urban parks and urban greenery, and he designed the top-floor furnishings of Studio Ghibli, the animation studio that Miyazaki now uses.

Although he really wanted Miyazaki to inherit Ghibli, Miyazaki did not open this mouth.

Instead, Toshio Suzuki saw his thoughts, reached out and patted the back of Miyazaki's hand.

"Why don't I talk to Wu Lang and see if he's interested in working at Studio Ghibli?"

"Hmmm......"

Hearing Toshio Suzuki's suggestion, Miyazaki visibly wavered, but he still shook his head firmly.

"Forget it, Wu Lang doesn't have the talent for this."

Terrible.

"Are you too strict with Wu Lang?" Toshio Suzuki said.

As a top animator, Hayao Miyazaki warmly healed the world, but his eldest son, Goro Miyazaki, was left out.

Like many children, Goro Miyazaki's upbringing was hit by his father.

In an interview, Goro Miyazaki, who was in his previous life, even thought that Miyazaki was a zero-point father.

As a child, Goro Miyazaki dreamed of becoming an animation director as good as his father.

However, Miyazaki thinks that the animation industry is hard and does not want his son to work in animation, and at the same time, he thinks that his son has no talent for animation and looks down on his son's works.

Just when he took out his first work "The Battle of Earth and Sea", Miyazaki left the scene halfway through watching it and wrote a letter of criticism.

At the second press conference of "The Hillside of Poppy Blooming", Miyazaki gave a merciless on-the-spot criticism of the film, and Goro had to publicly apologize in an awkward atmosphere.

After that, the box office was good, but Miyazaki still said: "It's also putting pressure on me." ”

Goro Miyazaki was so angry that he smoked: "Damn, don't let me die so early!"

And Goro Miyazaki is also very stubborn, he means: you wait, I will prove!

Hayao Miyazaki was asked: Why do you always blame children?

He explained: Don't let others criticize indiscriminately, and do it yourself.

It can be said that although Miyazaki painted many beautiful works that made children feel happy and touched people's hearts, he didn't know how to care for his children and express his love for them, like countless neon parents of that era.

Whether it can become a talent and whether it has grown to a satisfactory level is Miyazaki's request and expectation for Miyazaki.

But the father-son relationship has also been pushed away in such constant attacks and criticism.

Hayao Miyazaki shook his head and didn't continue the topic, but returned to "LIFE-LINE", "It's amazing to be able to show the family affection in the game to such an extent, even if it's words, it can touch your heart." ”

He thought of the storyline in this script, and many pictures involuntarily came to his mind, and the corners of his mouth grinned.

"Qingsang really gave me a problem."

Toshio Suzuki thought for a moment, a little speechless.

I don't know if Qing Zhiyuan gave you a problem, or if you gave Qing Zhiyuan a problem.

……

After discussing the cooperation with Ghibli and signing the agreement, it was immediately time for the New Year's holiday.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Sei Chi Won and Nao Tsuda went to Prince Inari Shrine to participate in the fox parade.

As the team continued to move forward, the two men hung their masks on their heads and ate the takoyaki in their hands, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Hey~ Thanks to you, you can also invite a master like Hayao Miyazaki to draw the original painting." Nao Tsuda let out a soft sigh, "President Seijiwon, it's really amazing. ”

Qing Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, looking at the seemingly nonexistent fox smile on her face, he always felt that this guy was mocking himself.

"It's not about being an original artist, it's just about drawing a few pictures."

"Are you jealous? Still think it's bad to please Hayao Miyazaki? Qing Zhiyuan asked.

"Not either."

Nao Tsuda chuckled, then reached out to pull the fox mask off his head and put it on.

Except for the hooked eyes, nothing else was visible.

But Qing Zhiyuan looked at those eyes, and always felt that this guy meant something.

"Could you please tell me clearly?"

Qing Zhiyuan wondered, "Isn't it a good thing for a world-class animation master like Hayao Miyazaki to draw original drawings for his work?" From any point of view, it's something worth bragging about and something that can generate a topic. ”

"Hmm~ That's fine."

Nao Tsuda's eyes fluttered, and after a little thought, he said, "At least in terms of publicity, it is very advantageous, and the only thing I am worried about is one point." ”

"Huh?"

"As you said, Hayao Miyazaki is a world-class master of animation. So who can master such a master? Have you ever wondered about such a question? ”

"Huh?"

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand again and again, "It's not control, we are a cooperative relationship." Even the partnership is a bit reluctant, which you can understand as-

Friends help.

I just need your help to draw a picture, and you helped me draw it, and I am very grateful and gave you something in return.

Next time you need me to do something for you, I'll do my best.

Probably so. ”

As the head of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, I asked Michelangelo to paint the frescoes, what could be wrong with that?

I will not interfere with Miyazaki's creation.

Nao Tsuda didn't speak, just looked at Seoh Chi Won with a smile in his eyes.

After watching it for a long time, he panicked in his heart.

"Is that really the case? Qing~San~"

"Hizz~"

This time, Qing Zhiyuan was silent.

The night light shone from both sides, his head was lowered, his eyes seemed to be a little blurry, and the world became less real.

But the more noisy the environment, the quieter the inside.

I don't know why, Qing Zhiyuan originally felt extremely relieved, but under Tsuda's language offensive, his heart was shaken.

It's as if the whole world is shaking.

"Qingsang, you don't have enough ability to control the dragon, you are going to be counterattacked." Nao Tsuda laughed.

"Long-winded." Qing Zhiyuan frowned fiercely, "I see." ”

Nao Tsuda's eyes are bent into two crescents, a veritable Miss Moon.

But how is this Miss Moon so hateful at times?

……

"It's a good time." Nao Tsuda walked forward and continued, "If it's Princess Mononoke, then you'll have to use [Furuhara Tsubaki].

Coupled with your two new works, it just makes Furuhara Tsubaki make a comeback.

When the time comes, together with Hayao Miyazaki, there will definitely be a good publicity. ”

"Do you think so, too?" Qing Zhiyuan smiled and walked side by side with her.

"Otherwise, how are you going to make a comeback?" Nao Tsuda rolled her eyes, "You can't get a new vest, right?" Then there would be no drama. ”

"That's what I thought too." Qing Zhiyuan said, "Popularity is based on fame, and it is better to use it directly with Guyuan Chunyun." ”

"Hayao Miyazaki and Tsubaki Furuhara, two masters in different fields, will definitely earn enough eyeballs if they join forces.

And...... Since Hayao Miyazaki can come and draw original pictures for us, what else is impossible?

Why don't you ask Hisaishi for the soundtrack? ”

Hisaishi Jean can be said to be Miyazaki's royal soundtrack master, if he can really be asked to help score LL through Miyazaki's relationship......

Qing Zhiyuan's heart is full of joy.

Not to mention LIFE-LINE, at least in the future Princess Mononoke games, there will be no problem at all with Hisaishi's soundtrack directly into the game.

Nao Tsuda glanced at him, covered his mouth and laughed.

"You've done a pretty good job."

Qing Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was faintly angry.

This guy ......

Isn't it superfluous that you're wearing a mask and smiling?

At night, the lights are bright, the music is full of cheerfulness, and more and more people join the fox procession......

Everyone danced with joy.

At this moment, the shrine bell rang.

Airplanes~! As soon as the ground was over, everyone raised their hands happily, and the sound instantly drowned out Qing Zhiyuan.

"Happy New Year!!

……

"Happy New Year."

At this moment, a murmur came from Qing Zhiyuan's ear-

Nao Tsuda pulled the mask over her head, smiled slightly, and kissed him on the face.

Not~

What a fox!

However, the corners of Qing Zhiyuan's mouth couldn't help but rise.

It's quite happy to kiss people.
