Chapter 145 49.Almost forgot

In mid-December, as soon as Qing Zhiyuan walked into the company and sat down in his office, he saw the young HR person holding something over with a flushed face.

From the moment he stepped into the company's door, this guy kept staring at him.

"President!"

Akane Ayase shouted mysteriously.

"What?" Qing Zhiyuan took a step back, "Don't be like this, it's a bit creepy."

"Hmph! President, you are such a bad guy, someone is kind enough to help you bring something important." Ayase Akane puffed up her little face and glared at Qing Zhiyuan with resentful eyes.

"What important thing?" Qing Zhiyuan asked doubtfully.

"Do you know?"

Akane Ayase smiled and seemed not to take the president's rude words to heart. Instead, she took out an envelope hidden behind her back and handed it to Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned and did not dare to reach out to pick it up.

"Could it be a blade?"

Ever since Akane Ayase told him the correct way to send a blade last time, he now has a natural fear of envelopes, especially letters from unknown sources.

The worst thing was that Qing Zhiyuan glanced at it and saw that the name of the recipient on the envelope was not Gu Yuan Chunqiu, but Qing Zhiyuan himself.

White teeth.

Has your identity been exposed?

"President, are you suffering from paranoia?" Ayase Akane gently smoothed the envelope with her hands, fearing that it would be stained with a trace of dust, then pinched the left and right corners with both hands and handed it to Qing Zhiyuan again.

"This is a letter from Studio Ghibli."

"Ghibli?" Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, becoming even more confused.

Of course he knows about Studio Ghibli. The famous Hayao Miyazaki, the old man has watched the movie "Chi-won's Past Life" a lot.

But what makes him different from others is that in his mind, the number one work of Hayao Miyazaki is not 2001's "Spirited Away", but 1997's "Princess Mononoke"

In Qing Zhiyuan's view, although "Spirited Away" is very famous and internationally renowned, Princess Mononoke seems to be more representative in terms of ideological depth and level.

Of course, basically I like Qing Zhiyuan’s works by Hayao Miyazaki.

"Why Ghibli? We have nothing to do with Studio Ghibli." Qing Zhiyuan was confused and completely confused.

"Don't you know it after seeing it?" Ayase Akane said with a smile.

After finishing it, he seemed to remember something, so he added, "Don't worry, the genuine Studio Ghibli does not have blades."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded, took the envelope, opened it and read it.

This is an invitation from Studio Ghibli.

In this era, computers and the Internet have not yet become popular, let alone email.

So invitations are sent via paper invitations.

In this invitation letter, Hayao Miyazaki wrote it all by hand, using a sincere tone to hope that Qing Zhiyuan could participate in the interview at Studio Ghibli next month, which is January 24, 1993.

【……

Although it is a bit presumptuous and brazen, after all, this interview is about "Porco Rosso", and I don't know if President Qing has seen this movie.

It seems quite rude, as if this invitation letter has become a "urge".

Moreover, President Ao must be wondering whether Hayao Miyazaki is worth talking to since he has never even met him.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t watch Porco Rosso.

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t met in person.

It is precisely because we have never met before that it is called "invitation"

The reason why I invited President Qing is not because I want to talk to you about "Porco Rosso"

On the contrary, after playing your game "Your Name", I gained a lot of inspiration and would like to have a long chat with you.

For games, for animation, for the relationship between the two and future development, this is what I really want to discuss with you.

Sincerely invited.

Please give this some thought.

Studio Ghibli

Sincerely, Hayao Miyazaki. 】

After Qing Zhiyuan read it, he felt a little confused and confused.

Although what Miyazaki said in the letter seemed to make sense, he still had a sense of unreality——

Why invite me?

I am the president of a small company and have no reputation at all.

He handed the letter to Akane Ayase, indicating that she could take a look.

"Wow!!!"

Before Qing Zhiyuan could speak, Ayase Akane shouted excitedly.

"President! This is Hayao Miyazaki."

"Can you take me with you?"

Qing Zhiyuan gave her a look.

"Please." Akane Ayase quickly clasped her hands and asked, "I like Miyazaki Hayao's movies very much. I will pour you tea and I will never disturb your conversation. If you go to conduct such an important interview, don't you Have you considered bringing a secretary or something?”

hehe.

Qing Zhiyuan sneered twice.

Are you the secretary now?

"But? Why did you invite me?" Qing Zhiyuan felt very incredible.

In his previous life, after the release of "Porco Rosso", Hayao Miyazaki accepted an interview and invited a guest to conduct a program in the form of a tea party.

Although this conversation was relaxed and freehand, and everyone basically talked about their own ideals and revolved around Porco Rosso, it was called a peak conversation.

Because sitting opposite Hayao Miyazaki is a great figure in another field——

Shigeru Miyamoto.

The two people were talking about the similarities and differences between games and animation.

During the conversation, the two mainly had in-depth exchanges on the creative concepts and techniques of games and animation.

Especially when Hayao Miyazaki relapsed and began to explain his understanding of the image of "landscape" endlessly, even the editorial department couldn't bear it anymore and had to say that "the content of the discussion was too grand and cutting-edge, and everyone gradually began to understand My consciousness is blurred and I dare not say a word..." as the end.

The old man should be quite talkative, and he is always messy.

but……

Maybe Qing Zhiyuan and him got along inexplicably, but not necessarily.

"Don't you know it when you go?" Ayase Akane looked down at the invitation letter in her hand, "I said above that I want to discuss the relationship between games and animation with you. President, didn't you have a background in original animation? Well, this is your strength."

"Um?"

I definitely have to go.

After all, the master personally invited him, but Qing Zhiyuan was not prepared at all.

The relationship between animation and games was too broad, and he didn’t even know what to talk about.

Fortunately, it’s still early and there’s still a month left.

Qing Zhiyuan asked Ayase Akane to record the time and arrange it into his schedule for next month.

"Okay president."

Akane Ayase, the secretary, should do her duty very well.

And this matter should be quite important. It is not easy to have the opportunity to talk to the master once in life, and it was personally invited by Hayao Miyazaki.

Until now, Ayase Akane hasn't quite figured out why.

That guy Hayao Miyazaki is only in his 50s and his brain is no longer good?

Even though pokeni has made a few good games, Qing Zhiyuan is not famous in the industry.

Games and animation are completely different fields. Even if it is an invitation, it should at least be Shigeru Miyamoto, right?

According to Ayase Akane's idea, the basis for this kind of master dialogue must be that both parties are masters.

In the past, the president was simply not worthy of his position. In other words, Qing Zhiyuan was just a younger brother. There was definitely no discussion, and he was just attending lectures.

Uh-huh.

That must be it.

Akane Ayase could almost imagine what the scene would be like. The president probably looked like a primary school student.

Qing Zhiyuan raised his head and saw that the expression on the face of the guy in front of him was uncertain, sometimes frowning and sometimes laughing.

Are you afraid that you are going to become a sperm?

"By the way, I'll also help you make arrangements for yourself." Qing Zhiyuan said expressionlessly.

"ha?!"

When Akane Ayase heard this, she smiled brightly as if she had found a treasure.

"Okay, President!"

It's still early, so we'll put this matter on hold for now.

Qing Zhiyuan quickly returned to work.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, the company's employees are immersed in the craze of game sales and have no intention of working these days.

"By the way, how many new people will come to our company next year?" Qing Zhiyuan looked at Akane Ayase, suddenly remembered her identity as HR, and asked.

December is not only the harvest season for "Your Name", but it is also the most important part of Pokeni Company's talent training system.

Basically, the unofficial reservations will be issued during this time period, and students who have already received the pokeni reservations can report to the company after the graduation season ends in March next year.

We are about to enter the 21st century.

What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century?

Talent!

The development of any company depends on the young people of the future. If there is no talent available, the company will have no future.

Qing Zhiyuan's biggest advantage over others is that he knows a lot about the talents born in the future gaming field.

"Wait a moment."

Akane Ayase bowed slightly, then ran out, checked it carefully and then returned to the president's office holding a stack of information.

"There are quite a lot of people applying to our company this year." The young HR sat on the sofa, placed the information on his knees, and said quite proudly while flipping through it.

Her pile of information is visibly thick.

In addition to the applicant's resume information, there are also some attached works by the guys.

In the past two years, pokeni has developed really rapidly, faster than a rocket.

One game masterpiece after another is like a bomb, directly blowing up the entire game industry and shaking the earth.

However, it was under such circumstances that Akane Ayase became more and more happy and proud of the company she worked for.

"You have to know that two years ago, college students had never heard of our company's name. At that time, the name was really miserable, and no one wanted to come to pokeni."

I think back then, Atsushi Shirakawa was invited by President Ao himself, but others refused.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned twice.

I don’t know what this guy is so proud of.

"Yeah, I've never seen such idle HR at that time." Qing Zhiyuan teased.

"President!"

Little HR pouted.

"Can you please respect my professionalism?"

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh.

An HR person like Akane Ayase is actually quite professional. She can also be used for fun and as a secretary. He thinks it is really worth it.

The original owner before time travel was truly talented to find such an HR.

“There will be quite a lot of newcomers next year, offers have been issued, and 13 people have been confirmed.

There are several people who have come to the company for internship. "

Akane Ayase smiled and picked out some resumes from a pile of information and handed them to Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan scanned it hurriedly and found that the people above were not familiar to him.

"Anyway, you have all been interviewed. I trust your judgment." Qing Zhiyuan put the information on the table.

Now the company is really growing.

There is not even a day when I don't feel such firm power, that kind of vigorous vitality, which is filling every corner of pokeni and every person.

This is the greatest confidence that successful works can bring to a company.

Ayase Akane explained to Qing Zhiyuan, and he almost had a preliminary impression of these people.

"Yeah, pokeni is getting stronger and stronger." Qing Zhiyuan sighed with a smile, "We will try to make two more games next year, and then become a company with 300 people within five years!"

Tsk tsk.

Akane Ayase smiled sheepishly, this guy jumped up to the sky as soon as he got a little better.

I don’t think that pokeni was once in bankruptcy crisis.

"President, have you forgotten someone?"

Just then, the little HR reminded me.

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan thought for two seconds and asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"

"Hey...I knew it."

Ayase Akane sighed, took out a piece of information from the folder and placed it on Qing Zhiyuan's desk.

Qing Zhiyuan glanced at it and found a photo of a skinny boy posted on it, with the three characters "MA Zhi Zhun" written in the upper left corner.

ah!

Qing Zhiyuan suddenly realized.

How could I have forgotten him?

"Have you forgotten?" Akane Ayase sighed and said, "You promised yourself at the player forum that you would let him come over after graduating from high school. Although I know you were just saying it casually, but this kid seemed to take it seriously. It’s over.”

Qing Zhiyuan opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Akane Ayase was the first to say, "But this guy's interview was not ideal. Are you sure you still want him?"

"If you don't want to use Ma Zhiquan, I will find a reason to send him away."

"Of course I'm serious!" Qing Zhiyuan quickly pressed down on Ma Zhijun's resume, "This guy must be brought in."

"Huh?!" Akane Ayase looked at him like an idiot.

Is the president actually a person who sticks to his word? !

Ma Zhiquan is known as the tear-jerker in the galgame field.

Yes, that’s the title that players now give [Gu Yuan Chunqiu].

There is certainly nothing to say about his strength.

And this guy is really capable. He can not only write masterpiece scripts, but he is also very good in the fields of original painting and music.

For example, AIR's opening song "Bird Poetry" in "AIR" was written by Jun Asahi himself, and KANON's "Traces of Dreams" was composed by himself.

He is quite a versatile talent.

Qing Zhiyuan had no reason to turn him away.

At that time, it was because this guy was still young and did not meet the company's employment standards. Now that he has graduated from high school, he can come to pokeni to work.

However, after Asae comes over, he will definitely have to practice for a while. Like Shinji Mikami, it is impossible to be a producer right away.

In fact, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't tell how well Ma Zhizhun, who had never gone to university in Tokyo, could reach the level of his previous life.

Talent is like a flower, it takes time to cultivate.

But since it's Ma Zhizhun, Qing Zhiyuan doesn't think it's a big problem. By the age of 18, his personality and brain circuits have basically stabilized.

Kanon?

Or AIR?

Qing Zhiyuan expressed great expectations for Ma Zhijun's first work in the future.

Among the tear-jerking trilogy, the pinnacle is definitely Clannad, but based on his accurate judgment of Ma Zhi, this guy may not be able to write it now.

After Ma Zhijun came, he must be the script planner first. However, in this way, Ma Zhijun's positioning was somewhat duplicated with Urobuchi Xuan, so the two of them could only be dispersed in different project teams.

Then it will inevitably require a producer from the project team to control it.

ah……

There is no producer to use it anymore.

Qing Zhiyuan felt heartbroken.

The producer is really crucial, equivalent to the soul of the game, analogously to the chief director of the movie.

There are many such talents in Neon, but they are also in short supply because the training cycle for producers is very long and their loyalty is generally high. It is difficult to recruit Qing Zhiyuan, a producer trained by other companies.

So the best way is to dig and cultivate it internally.

So far, after two years, Shinji Mikami has become a little bit like that.

Where can I get another one?

But while he was chatting with Ayase Akane just now, he remembered someone.

"Akane-chan."

"Huh?" Ayase Akane raised her head.

"Help me go to Shizuoka Prefecture to check on a person. This guy should have graduated."

"Who is it?" Ayase Akane asked doubtfully.

"Hidetaka Miyazaki."
