Nasu Mushroom and Takeuchi Takashi didn't think long before they decided to come to Pokeni, and after Akane Ayase signed the contract with them, she took the two of them to familiarize themselves with the company's environment and colleagues, and first arranged the two of them to two vacant seats against the wall.

Qing Zhiyuan also did what he said, and directly asked the two of them to set up a separate project team to do the games they wanted to do, and if there was a business plan, just show it to him.

When the time comes, it will be equipped with the corresponding programs and art.

If nothing else, there is a high probability that the first game made by these two will be "Empty Realm", which is still some distance from the fate that Qing Zhiyuan wants.

However, pokeni is not bad for money.

As the number of employees in the company increases, so do the problems that arise.

The first is the lack of space.

Akane Ayase couldn't help but complain to Qing Zhiyuan, "President, we have expanded several projects now, and as soon as several projects of Pokémon opened, the company's personnel doubled, so it will be a little crowded to sit in this way." ”

“emmm…… This is indeed a problem. Qing Zhiyuan touched his chin.

"Let's see if there are any vacant floors for rent in this building, if there are any, rent them all, and if not, you can find a way to rent an entire floor nearby.

And then what......

After this year, we will build our own Pokeni building. ”

"Huh? Are you sure? Little HR was overjoyed.

"Really, it's time to have a building of your own, right?" Qing Zhiyuan thought about it, but now Pokeni is also one of the best game manufacturers.

……

After the release of "Princess Mononoke" in August, it immediately achieved extremely popular results, and within the first week, it reached an astonishing 1.5 billion box office in Neon territory.

has broken through the current box office ceiling.

The number of moviegoers has also reached a terrifying more than 1 million, setting a new box office record for neon movies, and it is even expected to rush higher.

In the previous life, the total domestic box office performance of "Princess Mononoke" was accumulated to 19.3 billion yen, which was also the highest in the history of that year.

The current figures are even more exaggerated than before, and it is expected that they will eventually exceed 25 billion yen.

Of course, these all depend on the number of films scheduled and how long the release time can last.

However, from the side, in addition to Miyazaki's fame and the quality of "Princess Mononoke" itself,

Pokeni definitely has a lot of credit in it.

It is precisely because of the strong promotion effect of P Company's game that the explosive performance at the Tokyo Game Show directly made countless viewers and players remember "Princess Mononoke" and have a strong interest in it.

Before the game comes out, it's also a good idea to go to the cinema to satisfy your cravings.

What's more, the movie itself is very good, and many viewers are still unsatisfied after watching the first scene, and they continue to watch it twice, three times, or even 6 times.

Overall, this month could be called Ghibli Month, or Princess Mononoke Month.

……

"That's 1.5 billion yen, that's a lot of that." After seeing this data, Kazuma Takahashi, the operations director of Pokeni, also exclaimed.

"But after the theater chain is divided, the rest can't actually make much money, right?" Qing Zhiyuan said lightly.

Although different theaters have different revenue sharing, and they are all undisclosed confidential data, it can be roughly estimated in the range of 6 to 4, and the theater chain accounts for 6 Ghibli 4.

And that's when Ghibli has a strong influence.

Some unknown directors and films may be much lower than this number.

Takahashi calculated for two seconds, putting a mask of pain on his face.

"It seems to be true."

1.5 billion, 4 percent is only 600 million.

After removing costs and tax deductions, there is not much left for Ghibli as a whole.

"Or is the game more profitable?" Kazuma Takahashi said.

In the same case, if the game can sell 1 million copies, if it is calculated as 6,000 yen per game, then it will be more than 5 billion yen.

At the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to more than $50 million.

For many small companies, this is already an astronomical amount.

However, this kind of achievement can be said to be common in Pokeni nowadays, and almost one or two games can reach this level every year.

Of course, these have to be taken away by the platform, and they also have to be deducted from taxes or something.

But compared to the theater commission, the commission of the game platform is simply not too conscientious.

Dealers will also take a part, so in terms of profits, in fact, the proportion is about the same, and the good thing about the game is that the unit price is relatively high.

"With this income, Ghibli will have to make a few more years to produce one." Kazuma Takahashi felt deeply unworthy of Studio Ghibli.

Princess Mononoke has been in production since 94, and it has been more than 2 years now, which means that it took Ghibli two years to make a game that has about the same amount of money as a certain studio in Pokeni.

Profits are even less.

However, this is the kind of Ghibli that is already considered the top income level in the industry.

It's no wonder that the game makes money.

Once again, Kazuma Takahashi felt this deeply.

"Actually, it's pretty good." "Not every game can do it to our level. ”

In the game industry, most of the games have sales of more than 100,000 or so, and those that exceed hundreds of thousands are considered hits, and there are also some more perverted ones like the Mario series, each of which can reach millions or even tens of millions, tens of millions of sales.

And pokeni is very stable and rising, and now one or two million results are already within reach.

Belch......

Takahashi choked.

"President, isn't it a little too arrogant for us to talk like this?"

"Hahahaha......"

Two people laughed wildly in the president's office.

Akane Ayase, who was sitting outside, frowned.

The president is floating again.

……

Later in the evening, Mr. Toshio Suzuki, the president of Studio Ghibli, called Seijiwon.

"President Toqing's blessing, this time the results of "Princess Mononoke" are quite good."

"No, no, this is actually because "Princess Mononoke" itself is good enough and Ghibli is well-made, otherwise it would not have been possible to achieve such good results, we just added fuel to the fire, and we didn't dare to say that it had any big effect."

"President Youth is really modest." Toshio Suzuki laughed on the other end of the phone.

"By the way, when we're done here, if we have a little time, I would like to ask President Youth to spare time to have dinner with us."

"Yes, yes." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Then, let's cooperate more in the future."

"Okay, Mr. Suzuki. Happy working together and looking forward to the next collaboration with Ghibli. ”

"We are also looking forward to it, thanks to Pokeni, and thank you to President Aoi."

"No, no ......"

……

After hanging up the phone, Qing Zhiyuan raised his head and thought for a moment.

Mr. Suzuki may have just said a few polite words, but of course, the gratitude to them should be from the bottom of his heart.

As for whether there will be a next cooperation, it is just a polite answer.

However, Qing Zhiyuan himself is very serious and extremely looking forward to it.

After Ghibli finished making Princess Mononoke, what is the next movie?

I don't know anything else, but the work directed by Hayao Miyazaki, Qing Zhiyuan vaguely remembers that it seems to be-

Spirited Away

Yes!

It can't really be Spirited Away, right?

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan was looking forward to it.

This movie is also very suitable for making a game, but it must be much more difficult to make a game than it is now, because there are many original and strange things in the whole story of Spirited Away, and the characters in it are also very distinctive.

Just thinking about Granny Tang's house, Qing Zhiyuan felt that his head was big.

However, if it can really be done in 3D, like Princess Mononoke, the world of Spirited Away must be very colorful.

A town full of legends.

There are also sea trains.

As soon as he thought of this, Qing Zhiyuan looked forward to it.

……

While the iron was hot, Qing Zhiyuan also hurriedly promoted the game of "Princess Mononoke" on the shelves.

After the game was verified, Qing Zhiyuan found Hattori Hiroyuki as soon as possible and discussed the matter of putting it on the shelves.

This time, Hattori Hiroyuki took the initiative to invite Seichi to go fishing by the lake.

The two men each took a bucket of fish and were fully equipped.

"President Qing, you have given me a lot of gifts before, and I will give you this time."

"Huh?"

Qing Zhiyuan looked at him rather amusedly, then raised his head and looked at the sky again.

Is the sun coming out of the west today?

"My lure rod is very useful. I'll give it to you later. ”

Hiroyuki Hattori took out a set of fishing gear from the trunk of the car and handed it to Seohi Chiyuan.

This set of equipment alone is worth more than 2 million yen.

"Wow, is it so expensive?"

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't believe it at all, just such a broken rod was actually more expensive than golf clubs?

It's scary, is this fishing?

Or do you want to fish for the king carp?

Qing Zhiyuan took it a little flattered, and then looked left and right, and saw that the field of vision behind him was wide, and he was relieved that passers-by passed by from time to time.

Otherwise, you have to buy a helmet, which is actually quite troublesome.

Hattori Yuyuki taught him how to hang the bait, how to throw the rod, and then how to watch the float, and Qing Zhiyuan was officially out of school.

The two of them entered the stage of business negotiations, and each sat down on the small maza.

Hiroyuki Hattori wears a bucket hat that covers his hairline, and he doesn't look so ugly anymore.

Today, the sun is very big, and the lake is sparkling and a little dazzling.

In the woods behind, the cicadas cried one after another, and they were particularly cheerful.

Come to think of it, the weather in August was really a blazing sun.

Fortunately, the lake was relatively shady and didn't feel much heat.

"Let me guess, this time it's going to be Princess Mononoke, right?" Hiroyuki Hattori looked extremely happy.

"Well, President Hattori, you're really smart, and you can guess it." Qing Zhiyuan hurriedly took the gift box from the side and handed it to Hattori Hiroyuki.

President Hattori didn't look at it much, so he took it and put it at his feet, keeping his eyes on the lake.

"This time, the release of "Princess Mononoke" will be entrusted to President Hattori."

"It's easy to say," Hiroyuki Hattori smiled very happily, "but you're really stuck in time." ”

"Princess Mononoke just debuted at the Tokyo Game Show, and the movie was released within a few days, and as soon as the movie ended, the game was released immediately, and from the beginning of the promotion in June until November, it was all taken by you."

"Ha, I lend you good words." Qing Zhiyuan laughed happily.

Hattori Yuyuki, this guy is also an old fritter, and he really has a clear heart about when to do publicity, when the game will be released, and how long it will last.

No wonder this guy is so active today, he probably has been waiting for me to come to the door for a long time.

"We're working with Ghibli this time, so all the schedules are set and there shouldn't be any problems. With Miyazaki's films in front of us, our game sales shouldn't be too bad. Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Don't come with me." Hattori Hiroyuki waved his hand and directly spread his five fingers, "Just take so much." ”

"50,000 copies?" Qing Zhiyuan frowned slightly, "You can take more, we produced a lot of CDs this time." ”

"500,000 copies!"

Ooh!

Qing Zhiyuan almost didn't laugh out loud.

Yuichi Hattori was very arrogant and directly wanted to pre-order 500,000 copies.

"You're not worried about the game not selling at all, aren't you?"

Hattori Yuyuki shook his head with a smile, "Everyone is an old acquaintance, and with you and Miyazaki here, there will definitely be no problem with the sales of this game." ”

In fact, Hiroyuki Hattori had already watched the game launch of the Tokyo Game Show, and when "Princess Mononoke" appeared, it was really a blast.

The audience rejoiced, this kind of game almost did not have any hesitation, as long as you looked at it, you knew that it must be a hit.

Coupled with the fame of the P club itself and the blessing of Hayao Miyazaki, such a game simply takes off directly, okay?

Hiroyuki Hattori is not stupid, and profitable things must be prepared in advance.

"Then thank you so much to President Hattori."

……

The two of them have a very tacit understanding, and everyone is an old acquaintance, and the whole business was finalized in a few minutes.

All that's left is small talk and fishing.

Fishing is similar to golf, and Qing Zhiyuan can't feel any fun anyway.

But Hiroyuki Hattori likes it.

For Qing Zhiyuan, he is quite happy at one point, enjoying the evening breeze, the sunset, and hearing the cicadas behind him, Qing Zhiyuan rarely enjoys a different kind of tranquility.

At this moment, I just felt that the whole world had slowed down.

You don't have to think about so many things, you don't have to be busy with work, and you don't have to pay food to Nao Tsuda.

The days are so leisurely that people can't help but close their eyes and enjoy the tranquility and gentleness of the moment.

There's nothing more pleasant in the world.

Traveling with President Hattori was like a vacation, which Qing Zhiyuan couldn't have imagined.

It didn't take long for Qing Zhiyuan to fall asleep in his chair.

By the time I woke up, it was completely dark.

"Awake?"

Hiroyuki Hattori stood next to him and picked up a small bucket, "Let's go, I'll treat you today and take you to eat braised fish." ”

"Huh? Okay, okay. ”

Qing Zhiyuan rubbed his cheeks, stood up blankly, and followed Hattori Hiroyuki out with a bucket.

Finally came to his senses, Qing Zhiyuan asked suspiciously, "That, President Hattori, how many big fish did you catch today?" ”

There must be a lot of gains, right?

Hiroyuki Hattori frowned fiercely and walked forward without saying a word.

Qing Zhiyuan trotted a few steps to follow, and when he got closer, he found that President Hattori was carrying an empty bucket.

Good guys, it's actually zero!

However, it also verifies the saying, called poor stationery, two people fished for more than two hours, but they didn't catch a single fish.

"Anglers never air force."

President Hattori said.

……

went to the seafood market and bought a few fish, and Hattori Hiroyuki took Aochiyuan to a tavern and asked the boss to cook it.

Although it wasn't the fish they caught, the two of them had a great time.

In the evening, the two separated, Hattori Hiroyuki got into the car, and then came to a familiar place to stop.

Without the slightest hesitation, he threw the "Princess Mononoke" game disc in his hand into the trash.

"Bless!

The game is a big hit! ”

……
