Chapter 1683： Apu's movies

Toshio Suzuki does not know what comics Araki will draw with this script, but it is certainly good enough.

Because this is Yin Jun's work.

Based on his several years of experience in running "Kirin Half Monthly", "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" is not popular, which is simply beyond reason.

Unfortunately, starting next month, he will no longer be the editor-in-chief of "Kirin Semi-Monthly", and he cannot personally turn this comic into a classic.

The place he is going to is an animation studio founded by Yin Jun.

The name is a bit strange, called "Ghibli Studio".

Not only was the name taken by Yin Jun himself, but even the signboard and logo of this studio were designed by Yin Jun himself-that cute Totoro logo appeared in front of Minfu Suzuki, he seemed to have a very kind feeling.

It's not just him, the other two studio leaders, the two animators, also feel very kind, as if they've seen these from a long time ago.

There are three leaders in Studio Ghibli.

The first one is Toshio Suzuki representing the president of the board of directors. He is responsible for all chores and planning, the use of funds, the deployment of personnel, and external contacts.

The other two were known by Toshio Suzuki.

The first Takahata was a friend of Toshio Suzuki for several years and was a very good animator and animator.

The other is also a talented person familiar with Toshio Suzuki. His name is Hayao Miyazaki. "The Valley of the Wind" was serialized on "Kirin Semi-Monthly". It is a comic that Toshio Suzuki likes very much.

It was also because of the recommendation of Toshio Suzuki that Yin Jun "knows" Miyazaki and was willing to invest so that "Valley of Wind" appeared on the big screen.

It ’s also an exaggeration to say that Yin Jun sponsored Miyazaki, letting him and Takahata and others to learn various animation production skills together is not enough. Now he has directly established a studio and invested a full 1 billion yen. Let Miyazaki, Takahata and Mino Suzuki work together to produce "Valley of Wind" in the name of the studio.

Studio Ghibli is not just Yin Jun, Miyazaki, Takahata and Mino Suzuki are all shareholders, each owning 5% of the shares.

Just joining the studio, they each own 5% or 50 million yen in shares, which is undoubtedly an approval.

In particular, these shares were given away by Yin Jun, and they became even more precious.

Even people who do n’t care, such as Miyazaki, know that Yin Jun almost never distributes shares to others, except for branches in the United States.

Especially for the Kirin culture on which he started, 100% of the shares belong to him.

This kind of thinking is quite normal in the East. After all, Orientals have no habit of sharing.

The same was true when I went to the United States to purchase in a few years.

Then they were taught by the Americans how to be humans, and then they learned to cooperate with the Americans.

Now the only reason Yin Jun gave them shares is that they naturally feel that they are well worth it and worthy of this share.

In other words, Yin Jun also looked up to them and felt that they had this ability.

This is very important for Toshio Suzuki.

It was also for this reason that he quit his job as editor-in-chief of "Kirin Semi-Monthly" and was willing to come to this Ghibli studio with almost nothing.

In fact, as early as March and April, half of Suzuki's energy was put on this Ghibli studio.

He has to dig up talents for animation production, talents for operation, and computer experts ... etc. None of these can be recruited.

The staff of Japan. The favorite thing is to stay in a company for life. If there is no big thing, do n’t think about letting them change jobs.

Fortunately, the animation industry is booming now, with animation studios opening everywhere and closed animation studios everywhere. There are many talents flowing.

Moreover, Toshio Suzuki is under the banner of "Animation Studio Exclusively Created by Mr. Yin Jun", which naturally attracts a large number of talents.

This is also due to the fact that Toshio Suzuki has been a reporter before, knowing the industry, and then working as the editor-in-chief of "Kirin Semi-Monthly" for three or four years before he can find the right talent to dig.

Otherwise, it costs a lot of money and digs up some people who have no ability or are unsuitable, then it will be a bit wrong.

Yin Jun ’s 1 billion yen was paid in one go.

He told Min Suzuki first that he bought a headquarters building next to the headquarters building of "Kirin Semi-Monthly", and the capital cost 600 million yen.

The headquarters of "Kirin Semi-Monthly" is located in Bunkyo District. In March 81, a 1500 square meter 5-story headquarters building was purchased, which happened to be exactly the same size as the current Studio Ghibli, built by the same construction company.

Only 400 million yen was spent three years ago, but now it has skyrocketed by 50%, and it took 600 million yen to get it.

Of course, how to make this business is profitable.

It is only 84 years now. When it is about 90 years, when the real estate bubble is at its worst, the two buildings are at least worth 10 billion yen. When they do nothing, they directly sell the headquarters building. Can make a fortune.

The remaining 400 million yen in Ghibli Studios, in addition to Yin Jun's promise of Miyazaki's 200 million yen production costs, the rest are used to purchase various instruments and equipment, set up office equipment, and daily expenses.

In fact, using it like this, basically Suzuki Minfu has just been in office for less than two months, and the funds available in his hand are only about 50 million yen.

If it was n’t in the “Valley of the Wind” budget, which included the salaries of employees, Toshio Suzuki was considering whether to go to Yin Jun ashamed and ask him to invest a little money.

It is certainly not fruitless to spend so much money.

At the beginning of May, Studio Ghibli was preparing for the pre-stage of "Valley of Wind", everything was already prepared properly, only waiting for the teams such as Miyazaki and Takahata to return, they can actively participate in the work go with.

Toshio Suzuki is not worried that Hayao Miyazaki cannot assume this important task. Since Yin Jun is very optimistic about this project, with Yin Jun's eyes, nothing can be wrong.

Moreover, Hayao Miyazaki was originally a talented person, which is also recognized by Japan.

The excellence of "Valley of Wind" has also been verified by a large number of comic fans in recent years.

The difference is that everyone does not know how much Miyazaki can accomplish!

At this time, Hayao Miyazaki and Takahata, who were remembered by Toshio Suzuki, had already returned from the United States.

They even went to the Shanghai Haihai Fine Arts Film Studio in Shanghai in April to listen to the experiences of Master Wan and Grand Master.

Before returning to Xiangjiang, Yin Jun came to Shanghai to meet them.

Takahata Hyun, who is almost 50 years old, has the typical facial features of Japan. He met Yin Jun for the first time and respected him very much.

Yes.

Gao Hatun respects Yin Jun very much, and this is the reason for his achievement.

When a person's achievement reaches a point where others cannot reach it, then the age factor can be ignored.

"This is the first time I met Mr. Takahata, but I have been known to Mr. Takahata for a long time." Sitting on the sofa, Yin Jun said, "This time, Mr. Miyazaki's works, please take Mr. Takahata's much trouble, use Your experience, to help him grow. "

"I will." Gao Hatun said seriously.

In the previous animation movie productions, Miyazaki was Takahata's assistant. Now that Miyazaki's first animation movie, I also hope that this big brother will help to steer. This is a normal and safe practice.

In fact, there are many reasons why the works of Miyazaki in later generations of Studio Ghibli are so great.

In the specific production, Miyazaki must be unmatched, but in terms of the overall planning and editing and matching of the animated film, Gao Hatun also has great achievements.

In addition, in terms of fund raising, distribution and publicity, Suzuki Minfu's credit is also indelible, so Yin Jun has followed the model of their previous life from the beginning.

The successful model, if you try again, will also succeed.

"After this work by Mr. Miyazaki, I hope that Mr. Takahata can also make a work of his own." Yin Jun continued, "Studio Ghibli is just a studio that exists for two animations, no matter Whether it is money or personnel, or other things, Mr. Suzuki will prepare for the two. You just have to concentrate on doing your own work, no matter the box office, regardless of the response, as long as you are careful. "

"It's great! Apu's talent is definitely better than me!" Hearing this news, Miyazaki not only did not feel jealous, but became happy.

Takahata himself is also surprised. He will be 50 years old next year. Although he has produced such masterpieces as "Alps in the Alps." But because he is too meticulous and serious, he often ignores the cost factors, so he is a producer It's simply not popular there.

If it weren't for Miyazaki's invitation, he might have retreated to the second line in these two years.

But Gao Hatun was very cautious, and a little happy, he wondered what movie Yin Jun wanted him to make.

Then Takahata asked directly.

"You must like this work." Yin Jun smiled ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I bought the rights to the adaptation of his "Firefly Tomb" and "Little Ju and Wolf" from Mr. Nozaka Zhaoru You can shoot any one you want. "

Hearing this, Takahata's breath tightened immediately, and his eyes radiated light at the same time.

He has always liked Nozaka's works, but he didn't talk to others on weekdays. How could Yin Jun know that he would like it?

Is this the intuition of genius?

For a time, Gao Hatxun's admiration for Yin Jun became deeper.

Takahata naturally did not know that Yin Jun was also pushing back the present from the future.

The animated film "The Tomb of Fireflies" is extremely cruel, and it is not intended for children at all.

It belongs to reflection and confession of war, and it is also a call for peace.

But the process and ending of the story is too tragic and too miserable, so it hasn't become popular.

But this does not damage its lofty status as a world-class super-anime movie.

Takahata Taken shot it, spending a lot of time and energy to make it, firmly controlling the meaning Nozaka Shoru wants to express, is a well-deserved animation master.

In the same way, this movie is also Japanese. My confession and reflection on the war, and Yin Jun is more than happy to give Japan a wake-up call.

After accepting Hayao Miyazaki, when he heard Hayao Miyazaki wanted to make Takahata Xun as a producer, Yin Jun thought of this movie.

Then he changed hands and entrusted Dejian Kangkuai to buy the copyright of the movie "The Tomb of Fireflies" and "Little Ju and Wolf".

"Little Ju and Wolf" and "Firefly Tomb" are the same type of story.

The previous life "Xiaoju and the Wolf" is not the work of Gao Hatun. This time, Gao Hatun made it, and the meaning that can be given and expressed will certainly be more profound!
