167. Lend me your strength

Before meeting with the industry bigwigs, the first to find Qingzhiyuan was Studio Ghibli.

In the second half of December, Qing Zhiyuan received a gift from Studio Ghibli.

And it was personally sent by Mr. Toshio Suzuki, the producer of "Princess Mononoke".

Bringing him into the conference room, Qing Zhiyuan looked like a thief.

"Suzuki-san, Miyazaki-senpai, he didn't find out about the game content being changed, did he?"

From the release of LL to the present, Qing Zhiyuan has not been down-to-earth for a day, and he is always afraid that if Miyazaki discovers that the original painting in the last scene in the game is not his.

Toshio Suzuki smiled, laughing so much that Qing Zhiyuan's heart was furious.

"That's what I'm here for."

Toshio Suzuki smiled and handed a box of gifts to Qing Zhiyuan, "Thanks to my care during this time, Miyazaki has been busy lately, so he entrusted me to come over and thank you." ”

"Whereever, I should have to thank Miyazaki Senpai and Studio Ghibli, without your great support, CL and LL would not have achieved such good results."

Qing Zhiyuan hurriedly returned the gift.

It's a pity that I didn't have any gifts at hand, otherwise I would have given it to Suzuki-san on the spot.

But if you think about it, it's too casual.

It's better to wait until the New Year to prepare carefully before visiting.

The etiquette should be thoughtful.

Other game bosses, Qing Zhiyuan has never been so concerned.

But the two old men of Studio Ghibli are a little different, and they are quite compatible with Qing Zhiyuan in some aspects.

This is called a partnership based on interests and above interests.

……

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Toshio Suzuki sat on the chair, looking at Qing Zhiyuan and smiling.

Qing Zhiyuan always felt as if there was something on his face.

"Qingsang, this time, I really want to thank you."

"And Miyazaki is very grateful to you, but he was too embarrassed to speak, so he entrusted me to come."

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan was a little puzzled.

Toshio Suzuki smiled, "Miyazaki, this guy knew that the back painting was drawn by Goro in the first week of the game's release. ”

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan was taken aback, "Really? ”

Miyazaki-senpai actually played a game?

And so positive?

But......

Why can Miyazaki be so calm?

Isn't it strange to know that the painting is not your own?

Or did Suzuki-san actually communicate with him a long time ago?

So until now, Hayao Miyazaki has not come to look for him?

Qing Zhiyuan looked up at Toshio Suzuki, a little old man with short white hair who was looking at him with a wicked smile.

"It was only when Miyazaki was playing a game that he learned that the painting behind it was painted by Goro," said Toshio Suzuki, who said he didn't leak anything beforehand.

Qing Zhiyuan chuckled in his heart.

Boy.

This bad old man is really bad.

"Then what was Miyazaki-senpai's reaction?"

The little old man smiled and said, "He, he was a little shocked at first, but he knew that it was Wu Lang's work, so he didn't say anything on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart." ”

"By the way, by the way, thanks to this time I let him paint, I have found the joy and confidence to paint, so we have invited him back to Ghibli."

"And that's what Miyazaki has been looking forward to for a long time."

"Hey. Miyazaki's father and son are really carved out of the same mold, and their tempers are very stubborn.

But in fact, one hopes that his son will inherit his father's business, and the other hopes that he will come back to help and realize his dream in life.

If it weren't for the opportunity to make LL this time, I don't know when Gorang would have returned to Ghibli. ”

Toshio Suzuki nodded at the gifts on the table.

"Well, that's what Miyazaki asked me to bring. Actually, he appreciates you. Not only because he was able to participate in the production of the game, but more importantly, after this time, Goro is ready to return to Ghibli, starting as a basic painter, and maybe he can become Ghibli's future successor in the future. ”

"Whether it's for the company, for his son, or for himself, Miyazaki said that he owes you a lot of favors.

Gratitude to you comes from the heart. ”

Hey?!

Is that actually the case?

Qing Zhiyuan suddenly came back to his senses, no wonder the game has been on sale for so long, and Miyazaki's predecessors didn't call or anything.

I guess it's thin-skinned, and I'm embarrassed to open my mouth because it's Wu Lang's business.

But in this way, Miyazaki is even more cute.

This father and son are really interesting.

Although Qing Zhiyuan was praised all the time, although he was happy in his heart, he was not so carried away that he floated to the sky.

He looked at the little old man in front of him and deeply understood that everything was Suzuki's plan.

This old man is very bad, as shrewd as a fox.

If you think about it, Toshio Suzuki accomplished several things by asking Goro to participate in the production of the game:

Becoming a partner of Ghibli, the game has achieved results, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

2. Goro Miyazaki returned to Studio Ghibli, Ghibli has a successor, and Ghibli has made a lot of money.

3. Miyazaki father and son released their previous suspicions, each realized their own life wishes, 4 wins!

4. Whether it is Qing Chiyuan or Miyazaki father and son, we have to thank Toshio Suzuki, this person has gained so many favors almost with just a few words, which is really amazing. 5 wins!

Toshio Suzuki is really as shrewd as a fox.

It even made Qing Zhiyuan shudder.

In his body, Qing Zhiyuan can still see the shadow of Nao Tsuda.

"No, no, all of this is actually the credit of Suzuki-san, in fact, I think the person Miyazaki senior should thank you the most."

"It's really solid for Ghibli to have a cornerstone like you, and it's because of you that Ghibli has become a world-renowned animation studio."

This sentence, Qing Zhiyuan is not a compliment.

Before he met Toshio Suzuki, he had the impression that Studio Ghibli's achievements mainly depended on two masters, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takada.

But after meeting Toshio Suzuki, Qing Zhiyuan admired this person far more than others.

If you think about it, there is a god of war like Hayao Miyazaki who doesn't care about anything but animation and keeps charging forward.

Then take care of everything behind him, manage Ghibli in an orderly manner, and give enough support when Miyazaki feels difficult-

How deep should this Mr. Suzuki's internal strength be?

It is equivalent to Uncle Liu Huang desperately building, fighting Longxi, and destroying Wu State, don't look at the combat effectiveness of Shu State is quite strong, but to maintain so many troops and supplies, in fact, it all depends on the god-like logistics of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng.

The mere fact that the soldiers are well fed is terrifying.

If it weren't for Toshio Suzuki's dedication to Ghibli, Seizhiyuan would especially like to have such a person to succeed him as president, or CEO, so that Seizhiyuan can free himself up and concentrate on what he likes to do.

Ah~ It's a pity, it's a pity.

Where's my Kong Ming?

……

Qing Zhiyuan's schedule for the second half of the month has been scheduled until the New Year, and he is busy to death.

But just like that, he still took half a day to go to Studio Ghibli and gave New Year's gifts to Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki.

It's mainly snacks and wine, and along with two collector's edition CL and LL game CDs made especially for the old men, and a thank you card comes with it.

In addition to Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki, Aochigen also sent a special gift to Jeanya Hisaishi.

Hisaishi was a little flattered when he received the gift, and his bald head was a lot brighter, as if he was wearing a big question mark.

"How can I be, President Qing, you gave me such a valuable gift."

"After all, we've all lived together in Yakushima, and there are plenty of opportunities to work together in the future. The soundtrack of Princess Mononoke is up to you. Qing Zhiyuan bowed down.

Hisaishi quickly returned the gift.

I know that "Princess Mononoke" when Qing Zhiyuan is talking is not only an animated movie, but also a game soundtrack.

So it seems reasonable.

So Hisaishi made it difficult for him, happily accepted the gift brought by Qing Zhiyuan, and said that he must return the gift in a few days.

Coming out of Hisaishi's house, Qing Zhiyuan's face was visibly happy.

Not to mention anything else.,At least he left a good impression on Hisaishi.,Looking for him to score a game or something in the future.,It's probably not easy to excuse it.。

It doesn't matter what the reward is, the key is to have such a master to score the game, which is what Qing Zhiyuan values.

……

Then there was a sauna trip with Sega's Hayao Nakayama.

The two of them sat in a dimly lit small room, steaming, sweat running down Qing Zhiyuan's chin.

Look at the old man sitting next to him, motionless, as steady as Mount Tai.

Don't look at Hayakuo Nakayama in his 60s, he actually maintains his figure quite well.

It looks particularly strong.

The only downside is that there is a bit less hair.

Having less hair is probably the fate of game people, and Qing Zhiyuan has been a little troubled about losing his hair recently.

Although it looks quite dense, Qing Zhiyuan is afraid that his work pressure will lead to debilitating hair loss.

Looking at the appearance of the old man in Zhongshan, Qing Zhiyuan was ten thousand afraid in his heart.

What if I become like him one day......

I'm still not married.

What if Tsuda dislikes himself and doesn't want to marry him in the future?

"Qingsang."

Nakayama's slightly aged voice pulled Seo Chi-won back from his fantasy.

He quickly responded, "Here, Nakayama senior." ”

"Ah~ I really envy Qingsang, you have such a young and healthy body." Hayao Nakayama smiled and sighed, "The most important thing is that you can bring the company to this level when you are only 30 years old, and I didn't know what I was doing when I was 30 years old." ”

"Senior Zhongshan, you have won the award, I envy you for having such a high achievement today, and it is really admirable to make Sega the world's top game provider."

"Hey...... If I could be ten years younger......"

Hayao Nakayama sighed, "I've not been in good health lately, and I'm really worried that I might not live long." ”

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "Don't say that, I think you are in good health now, at least you can be at the helm of Sega for another 20 years." ”

Hayao Nakayama laughed.

"I can't count on 20 years, and my biggest wish now is that Sega can land smoothly."

Speaking of this, Hayao Nakayama seemed to feel that he had lost his words and said something that he shouldn't have said, so he quickly stopped talking about it.

"By the way, Qingsang, do you know that we are now in a console war with Sony?"

"Hmm...... Well. Qing Zhiyuan nodded, pretending to be stupid at this time seemed a bit too much.

After all, there is still a part of the design of Sony's console that Qingzhiyuan participates in.

"Regarding 3D games, I'd love to hear your opinion on Qingsang, this word has been quite hot recently."

"3D games?"

Qing Zhiyuan glanced at the stubborn old man in front of him.

Although Hayabusa's eagle eyes were like fire, flashing with light and looking forward to hearing good words from Qing Zhiyuan's mouth, Qing Zhiyuan saw that he was still working hard for Sega at such an old age, so he couldn't bear to deceive him.

So Qing Zhiyuan said truthfully, "Seriously, Zhongshan seniors, 3D games are the future of the game industry.

This is not to say that there is no market for 2D games, but 3D will become the mainstream of the times in the future.

After all, games are, in the final analysis, imitations and recreations of reality.

Nature is the greatest master of game making, and it has created such a colorful and rich world for us.

Being able to simulate reality is already more than half a success in itself.

In reality, we live in a 3D world.

A stronger sense of substitution, more realistic, more natural, and more cool...... These can be the advantages of 3D games.

So I think 3D games will become the mainstream of gaming in the future. ”

After Qing Zhiyuan finished speaking, he hurriedly added, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. President Nakayama, you are more senior than me, you have made more games, and the more you have experienced, the farther and deeper you will definitely see further and deeper than me. ”

There was a freeze in the air.

There was silence for several seconds.

Hayao Nakayama sighed at this time.

"Is that really the case?"

Nakayama's eyes were a little dark, and he seemed to be reluctant to admit that he had thrown the wrong track, and Saturn was trying in the wrong direction.

Now the Sega Saturn has several big problems.

The first is CD-ROM, although it has cooperated with Sony, but Sega has not been able to get Sony's support in CD-ROM technology, and they have developed a handheld with themselves.

I have learned a lot from Sony in terms of battery technology, but the most critical CD-ROM technology is completely crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Now there are some problems reading the data.

And the preparation of Saturn's game console is actually a bit hasty, in order to develop a 32-bit machine to seize the market as soon as possible, Sega did not let Saturn go directly to the shelves after full testing and improvement, and later it also exposed the defects in hardware strength.

In addition, Saturn's design concept naturally does not focus on 3D functions, which is a huge difference from Sony's PS.

Now Hayayao Nakayama is most worried about-

Won't the games of the future really move towards 3D?

In this way, Sega is in danger.

Zhongshan likes to gamble all his life, playing heartbeat and stud, this time the host war, almost all of Sega, not to mention the cash flow is used up, and he still owes tens of billions of dollars in loans to the bank.

Once defeated, it is difficult for Nakayama to imagine how Sega will end up in the end.

"Qingsang."

Hayao Nakayama blinked and said helplessly,

"I've been getting older and getting worse lately, and I've figured out one thingβ€”

The power of one person is always limited. ”

"It's the same for companies."

Well.

Indeed it is.

Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

"Qingsang, please lend me your strength." Nakayama Hayabusa-do.

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan's whole body shook.

Where do I have that much energy?
