godfather of tokyo entertainment

Kei Fujiwara came to the Tokyo Animation Production Company again. The charred building was still dazzling, and the bouquets of flowers placed in memory outside the building were withering.

The arsonist has not yet entered the trial process. For crimes like this with complex plots and great social impact, the trial process is extremely long, and it is possible that the process will not be completed in one or two years.

The arsonist put down the fire with the full rescue efforts of doctors, which also triggered protests from some people.

Because the arsonist was seriously injured, the hospital spent huge costs and manpower to rescue the person.

This was unacceptable to some people, and one person even held up his mother's portrait to protest outside the hospital.

He claimed that his mother died of breast cancer many years ago and had to give up treatment because she could not afford the expensive medical expenses.

If my mother had killed a few more people before she died, would she have received the best medical resources in the country?

A hypocritical country will only engage in hypocritical human rights! Fukuyama TV also made special news on this type of incident. The new prime minister who just came to power not long ago was tortured by the media as expected, and the people once again silently rang in their hearts.

Countdown to Prime Minister's resignation.

Kei Fujiwara walked into Toani's second studio and found that the security was much stricter. The security guards were equipped with all kinds of equipment and looked much more serious and professional. There were several more anti-riot boxes at the entrance of the studio.

Kei Fujiwara walked to the door. After a brief questioning, the security guard led him to the front desk. After confirming the contact person, the front desk contacted the staff in the studio.

Soon after, a man wearing glasses came out, bowed to Fujiwara Kei, and handed over his business card: "Fujiwara-san, I am Sakurai Tokiyoshi from the third animation team. Please give me your advice."

"Hello." Fujiwara Keiya took out his business card. Because he had met Oshii-an at the Higashi Bunge School Festival, the two discussed the animation adaptation of "Genius Detective Mitarashikiyoshi".

Later, due to the arson attack, Oshii-an suffered a mental breakdown and was unable to continue working at his original position. He is currently staying on the job to recuperate.

However, Toani wanted to follow up on the animation adaptation, so he sent others to continue to deal with Kei Fujiwara.

The arson fire caused immeasurable losses to Toani Company. More than 30 outstanding animators died, countless drawings and materials were burned, and many ongoing animation projects were terminated.

Toani plans to revive its success and is expected to launch a season series next year. Among the many prototype projects, company executives are more optimistic about "Genius Detective Mitarai Keiro".

This film is still being serialized, but the last chapter of the first volume, "The Clock Museum Incident," will be concluded soon.

The entire series is extremely popular among mystery readers and is regarded as a classic by many mystery fans. Although it has only been serialized for three chapters, "Astrology Murder" has already reached a high level in the mystery hall and is still being serialized.

If nothing goes wrong with "The Clock Museum Incident", it should be able to maintain its status as a masterpiece.

In the "Who is Japan's No. 1 Detective" survey jointly signed by major publications, the ranking of the new detective Mitarai Aoi has recently improved a lot, jumping to fifth place.

In the reception room, Tokiyoshi Sakurai described in great detail their production ideas if the two parties cooperated, and which well-known animators in the industry would participate in the project.

Although the arson casualties caused Toani to lose a lot of talents, it is an animation company with a deep foundation after all and still retains its main production team.

These people recovered from their grief and decided to work together to help the company get through this pain smoothly.

As for the licensing fee for copyright adaptation, Toani also provides two licensing methods: one is a one-time settlement, the licensing fee is directly negotiated, the contract is signed, and the producer can start production.

The other is a small licensing fee plus a share model. In fact, from the perspective of maximizing profits, a one-time settlement is better.

After all, "Genius Detective Mitarashi Kyō" created by Kei Fujiwara is a spliced ​​work and has no experience of being made into a drama in a parallel world.

So although I trust Toani’s production capabilities, I wonder if the story mode of this work is suitable?

Kei Fujiwara is not sure about the "fan drama" genre either. So the best way is to clear the money and goods like the authorization of "White Night Journey", which can avoid risks to the greatest extent.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Fujiwara Kei said: "I think Toani is a very good animation production company, and I am very much looking forward to our cooperation. If it is authorized, I would prefer the split model." Sakurai Tokiyoshi was startled,

He then asked: "Teacher Fujiwara, are you willing to adopt the sharing model?" Fujiwara Kei nodded,

"I trust Toani's ability and look forward to the final presentation of this work." Sakurai Tokiyoshi was silent for a moment, then suddenly bowed slightly in a sitting position and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fujiwara, for your trust and support." Everything is here.

That’s right.

Since Toani suffered a serious injury not long ago, during the pain of recovery, no one can guarantee that their next works will maintain the same quality as before.

Kei Fujiwara's willingness to continue cooperation in accordance with his previous intention is considered a huge thank you. Now he is willing to take a certain degree of economic risk in order to alleviate Toani's current financial pressure.

"You're welcome." Fujiwara Kei casually picked up a cookie on the table for guests and stuffed it into his mouth with the tea.

"By the way, Oshii-san..."

"Director Oshii is still on leave due to personal health reasons," Sakurai Tokiyoshi said,

"Does Mr. Fujiwara prefer to cooperate with Director Oshii? But considering what happened not long ago, Oshii-san's current emotional state..." Kei Fujiwara sighed: "It doesn't matter, the specific creative personnel will be professionally considered by the company.

Okay. I'm just a little worried about Oshii-san's current situation...Forget it, it's better not to disturb him." The two talked about the specific contents of the contract and the production direction.

Kei Fujiwara also mentioned a few of his favorite voice actors and hoped that the company could invite them to be voice actors.

After chatting for a while, Sakurai Tokiyoshi's chatterbox gradually opened up, and he took the initiative to talk about Toani's recent reconstruction work.

The burned-out Third Studio building will not be used for the time being. All the original paintings and materials of a theatrical version and three seasons stored in it were destroyed, and the project was shelved.

The plan for the coming year is to have a quarter series and a year series. The season series is the anime adaptation of "Genius Detective Mitarashi Kiyoshi". As for the year series, I plan to adapt a Yokai series.

This is much less than the production volume in previous years, but for Toani, who has just experienced a serious injury, he is still undergoing rehabilitation training and cannot bear more projects.

...After leaving Toani, Kei Fujiwara went to Tokyo University of Literature and Art. "Looking Back" is still being filmed, but it has come to an end.

Ono Nagaharu was editing while filming, and 80% of the film was completed. When Kei Fujiwara came to the set this time, he happened to encounter them filming a key scene of the film - [Four-frame comics spanning time and space]

.

Zuotou Mei leaned on the wall outside the door, looking at the ceiling with blank eyes, muttering: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, if I didn't draw that cartoon..." Kei Fujiwara looked at Zuotou Mei

The performance, I secretly applauded behind the monitor, it was really a good performance, for a person with an amateur idol background to act like this is considered outstanding. I remember that my acting skills were not so good before, and my lines were even a little awkward.

We haven't seen each other for a few days, and I'm progressing quite quickly. It seems that Ohno Nagaharu is quite good at training actors.

Nanako Togada held the clapperboard, pursed her lips, and looked at Mei Sato with tearful eyes. She had already read the script, and she cried when she read the script.

Now that I see someone acting out the tear-jerking scene in the script, I can't control my emotions for a moment, and water drops are swaying in my eyes.

After seeing Kei Fujiwara arrive at the set, Togata quickly wiped his tears with the back of his hand and bowed to say hello: "Teacher Fujiwara..." At the same time, he admired this man again in his heart. He really deserves to be Mr. Fujiwara. No matter what works he shoots, he can always impress.

The softest corner in people's hearts.
