Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 361 265.What? ! Totoro joins Pokémon?

The two chatted for a while, and Miyazaki became more and more enthusiastic.

At this time, although he was over fifty years old and his hair was all white, he behaved like a child.

A diligent and motivated student who is full of curiosity about everything.

Qing Zhiyuan was also patiently answering technical questions about the game with him.

Time flies.

More than two hours were gone in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Qing Zhiyuan remember the purpose of being entrusted here by Mr. Suzuki.

Miyazaki-senpai is really not honest at all.

After the quarrel with his son, although his first instinct was to disagree with Goro's point of view, he probably thought about it seriously after that.

So in the spirit of truth-seeking, I am still making some insinuations, just to figure out what kind of impact computers or future 3D tools will have on the animation industry.

And how to use these things and how to achieve the effects.

He clearly cares about the future that Goro talks about, but he can immediately agree with Goro. At least Hayao Miyazaki wants to know what the current technology can achieve.

…

"Well, Miyazaki-senpai, I have actually heard about what happened between you and Goro." Qing Zhiyuan took the initiative to speak.

"Eh?"

Miyazaki was stunned for a moment, then sat there silently, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"I heard about it."

Hayao Miyazaki blinked, "That guy Suzuki is really talkative."

"Suzuki-san actually cares about you, but he is worried that neither you nor Goro will listen to his advice, mainly because they are too familiar." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"So you also think that I am an old guy who is stuck in the past, right?" Miyazaki folded his hands and said angrily.

"That's not true."

"On the contrary," Qing Zhiyuan said, "I actually agree with your statement."

"Huh?" Hayao Miyazaki raised his head in confusion.

Did this young man say this just to save face, or did he think so from the bottom of his heart?

It stands to reason that Goro's statement is more in favor of P's technology and production methods. On the contrary, it is him. Hayao Miyazaki's hand-painted concept seems a bit outdated and inferior.

Qing Zhiyuan has no reason to stand on his side.

“Tools are constantly changing, but some things never change.”

Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "For example, the light we just discussed, and what we want to express."

"Look at this," Qing Zhiyuan demonstrated.

He first put a cigarette in his mouth, without lighting it, he put it between his lips and held it gently, just like Hayao Miyazaki now.

It made Hayao Miyazaki laugh.

"What does it mean?"

"Guess what kind of person I am?" Qing Zhiyuan asked.

"I guess you're playing me." Hayao Miyazaki laughed.

"Pretty much, at least he's a thoughtful and flexible guy."

After Qing Zhiyuan finished speaking, he put the cigarette on his back molar and bit it hard.

"What now?"

Qing Zhiyuan asked with a grin.

Hayao Miyazaki smiled very happily, but Qing Zhiyuan was very serious and worked hard in his performance.

He looked at it carefully and speculated, "He must be a guy with a bad temper."

"Yes, a ruthless man." Qing Zhiyuan said, "Probably a gangster brother, a very violent kind. If I take off my clothes again, it will look more like he is carrying a baseball bat."

The two people laughed and were very happy.

"and this."

Qing Zhiyuan thought of something again, then stood up and ran outside to the stairs leading to the second floor.

Hayao Miyazaki also followed out, wanting to see what he was going to do.

Qing Zhiyuan first climbed up the stairs, and then walked down leisurely.

"What kind of personality do I have?"

"It's hard to tell." Hayao Miyazaki shook his head, "The performance is too rough."

"What about this?"

Qing Zhiyuan climbed several steps in a row, and walked down from the top almost by running.

"I'm very anxious, at least I have a quick temper."

"What else?" Qing Zhiyuan asked.

"The character of Fengfenghuohuo should be quite young. An old man can't do this." Hayao Miyazaki said with a smile.

But he was also imagining in his mind the impact that an old man going down the stairs like this would have on the audience.

At the very least, she is a stubborn old lady who refuses to admit defeat, right?

Hearing the noise outside, Suzuki Toshio walked out curiously, wanting to see what these two people were doing.

He stood at the top of the stairs, looked at the two people below, and couldn't help but laugh.

Why did chatting turn into exercise?

Qing Zhiyuan climbed up the stairs and then demonstrated how to go up and down the stairs.

And looking at the past from different angles, the changes formed are also different.

"Look, are these unchanged?" Qing Zhiyuan walked down the stairs and stood in front of Miyazaki Hayao and said.

“Whether it is 2D animation or 3D animation, the objects we want to interpret, their personalities, and their souls, these are the most critical things.

It's not superficial. "

"Well, that's a good explanation of his character." Suzuki Toshio laughed on the stairs.

"Ah, Mr. Suzuki, so you are here." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Well, seeing you guys having so much fun, I suddenly became curious." Suzuki Toshio said, "I'm very inspired."

"Then you also come down and sit with us for a while?" Qing Zhiyuan invited.

Why.

Suzuki Toshio sighed. Since he showed up on his own initiative, there was no way he could turn a blind eye.

He had no choice but to walk down the stairs and stand with the two men.

Without returning to the conference room, the three of them just stood there and discussed.

"Well..." Hayao Miyazaki folded his hands and thought, "So, whether it is a game or an animation, it is a carrier. Some things will not change. What we want is to dig out those things that remain unchanged. s things?"

“You can also dig into things that change.”

Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "However, these have nothing to do with 2D, 3D, hand-drawing or computer painting. They are just a tool for us to express.

The key lies in whether it is suitable and whether it is easy to use.

If you think hand-painting is the most suitable and convenient, then just hand-paint it.

We believe that with the development of computers and technological advancement, there are more convenient tools to express ourselves, so those are better for us. "

Suzuki Toshio nodded, smiled and said nothing, silently looking at Miyazaki next to him.

The latter folded his hands and fell into deep contemplation.

"It's a very interesting point of view." Hayao Miyazaki said, "I learned a lot from it, Chiwon-kun, thank you very much."

"No, no," Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "These are all things you taught me, Miyazaki-senpai."

"Huh?" Hayao Miyazaki was a little confused, "Why did I teach you this?"

"You told me in animation."

Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Didn't you say it before? Both animation and games are vehicles for expression and the embodiment of ideas. Animation should have a wide entrance so that more people can understand it and can easily come in and appreciate the scenery.

However, the export must be high, have depth and height, and be able to express the author's thinking and ideals.

These are all what you taught me. "

"Ah...is that so?"

Miyazaki was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head sheepishly and laughed.

These words seemed to be what he had really said before.

“Good tools are used to free our hands, allowing us to have more time and energy to think and do what we want to do.

For example, in the future, when artificial intelligence and game technology develop to a sufficiently powerful stage, the characters you mentioned before, Miyazaki-senpai, will be able to become real and act according to their own will.

Then we actually play more of the role of God.

Create the world and make it a wonderful place for these characters.

We can focus on thinking about the universe, thinking about human changes, and thinking about more difficult propositions.

Games and animations will become tools for our expression.

That's all. "

Ah~ Hayao Miyazaki clicked his lips, wanting to say something, but couldn't.

I was deeply shocked deep inside.

This child Qing Zhiyuan is really smart.

Although he said he was agreeing with himself, he used his actions to euphemistically explain Goro's thoughts.

At this moment, Hayao Miyazaki's deep-rooted concept of hand-drawing seemed to be wavering.

"If the tools really continue to improve and can do better than what we are doing now, I am actually still willing to try it."

…

The three people returned to the conference room, and Suzuki Toshio poured them each a cup of tea.

It is so happy to chat and sip tea in this afternoon time.

At this moment, the few people do not seem to have a [business partnership] relationship. After abandoning their social identities, they are more like a group of old friends, good friends sitting together and enjoying a leisurely time.

At the same time, they are also talking about topics that interest them.

For example, animation, games, or the connection between the two.

Another example is their production tools, and what changes will happen to animation in the future.

"According to my understanding, there will definitely be a 3D animation market in the future." Qing Zhiyuan said, "In fact, this has already happened."

"Huh?" Hayao Miyazaki looked at him with some confusion.

"Last year, didn't Pixar produce a 3D animated film called "Toy Story"?"

Qing Zhiyuan said, "This is an animated feature film produced entirely using computers. It is different from the cartoons in our traditional impression. In fact, it is more realistic in style."

The film broke the record for animated films with a box office of US$192 million, becoming the US box office champion in 1995. It also set a global box office record of US$360 million, and won director John Lasseter the Academy Award for Special Achievement. .

The huge success of the film also contributed to something. Pixar boss Steve Jobs was invited back by Apple, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, because he was worth $1 billion at this time, and begged the veteran to reorganize the company.

When it comes to "Toy Story", Hayao Miyazaki immediately recalls it.

"Well, I've seen this before, and the performance is actually quite shocking."

Miyazaki took a deep breath and said, "However, I couldn't figure out how to combine it with our animation style."

"It's not necessary." Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "It depends on whether the tool is suitable for you. You can take advantage of it before it's too late."

"Yeah, that's right."

"However, computer rendering can actually perform well in 2D effects."

Qing Zhiyuan said, "Actually, the "Your Name" and later CL and LL we produced basically used computer rendering."

At this point, Miyazaki stopped talking.

A pair of eyes sparkling.

He has participated in CL and LL, but mostly in formulating the game style and character design. After doing these, he has not intervened in the game content.

I didn't expect that in addition to the content he gave me, pokeni also made a lot of things later.

I can't tell what kind of feeling it was, but Hayao Miyazaki was shocked in his heart.

…

Several people were silent for a while, each drinking tea.

Qing Zhiyuan remembered something and asked:

"By the way, Miyazaki-senpai, now that "Princess Mononoke" is finished, do you have any plans for the next animation?"

"I don't have one here yet." Hayao Miyazaki scratched his head and said, "But Mr. Takahata has an animation in production that will be released next year."

Among Studio Ghibli, there are probably two very powerful directors.

One of them is Hayao Miyazaki.

The other one is Takahata Isao.

Master Isao Takahata is very good at telling ordinary stories in real life.

Seeing warmth in the ordinary can heal people's hearts, and at the same time, it can also convey power through the fate of little people.

This actually requires a lot of basic skills.

However, if you make something like this, people who like it will like it very much. You can get huge motivation from simple and ordinary life and small people. At the same time, you will also be attracted by such simple and ordinary things, people and people. Impressed by the relationship between them.

However, this is a cup of boiled water, or a cup of tea. It needs time to settle before you can savor it carefully.

The problem then is that for most people, it may be a bit bland.

It cannot become a commodity.

In other words, even if it becomes a commodity, it is difficult for the world to understand it.

This is Qing Zhiyuan’s own opinion.

Good or bad, people who can appreciate it need to have a calm heart, so it may not be suitable for adapting it into a game.

The animation Mr. Takahata is currently producing is called "My Neighbor Yamada-kun"

It tells the story of the Yamada family.

This traditional Japanese family has an ordinary life: Mr. Yamada is an ordinary company employee who appears to have parental dignity but feels sad over trivial matters;

Mrs. Yamada is a housewife with a strong Kansai accent;

The son Asheng is a middle school student who has just entered adolescence and is an average middle school student. The daughter Nonoko is an innocent kindergarten child, and the children’s old grandmother——

He is old but always has a cool look, and his words are always to the point.

There are a lot of such families under the sun and the moon. There are family ties, middle-aged love, and gossiping and gossiping. They quarreled, were sad, reconciled, and were happy. Autumn is bright but it will pass eventually. Home is still the warmest. The children are growing up.

In fact, it is a very ordinary and warm work, and it is also Mr. Takahata's consistent style, but...

This animation doesn't seem to be easy to adapt into a game.

"Well... let's talk about it then." Qing Zhiyuan euphemistically expressed that it was not suitable.

What he is even more looking forward to is Hayao Miyazaki's next work, "Spirited Away"

But since he has no more ideas at the moment, let's leave it at that.

Lest you talk too much and interfere with this guy.

…

Takahata's work cannot be adapted into a game, but Qing Zhiyuan has a bolder idea.

"Miyazaki-senpai, I have an idea." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Um?"

Suzuki Toshio moved aside, his body leaning more towards Qing Zhiyuan, showing a strong interest in what he wanted to say later.

"I want Totoro to join Pokémon."

"Eh?!

Totoro joins Pokémon? "Miyazaki Hayao and Suzuki Toshio looked confused.

"Pokémon is a game about catching Pokémon. I want to link up with Ghibli so that the cute and magical animals featured in the Totoro cartoon can appear in the Pokémon game.

In this case, the audience and players will definitely be very happy. "

Qing Zhiyuan just thought about it, wow, can I catch Totoro in Pokémon? !

This is such a magical and happy thing.

My Neighbor Totoro is Ghibli’s mascot, and even Studio Ghibli’s logo uses Totoro’s head.

When the time comes, the double chef will surely be ecstatic again, causing a worldwide sensation.

Qing Zhiyuan explained for a long time, and the two old people almost understood.

The proposal is quite interesting. For both parties, it deepens cooperation and makes money together.

"How to calculate the share of peripheral products?" Suzuki Toshio asked with a frown.

"It depends on which channel the money is sold through," Qing Zhiyuan said.

“Anything sold through channels that cooperate with Ghibli will be fulfilled in accordance with the contract you signed with them.

If we use our channels, P and Ghibli will share the sales of peripherals. "

Animation film companies are actually different from other film and television industries in that they do not make money solely by box office revenue.

In fact, the real money comes from peripherals and CDs.

Take My Neighbor Totoro as an example. Ghibli’s My Neighbor Totoro peripherals generate an additional revenue of nearly 10 billion yen for the studio every year.

If it can be promoted well, the sales of peripheral products will be even better in the future.

Although Mr. Miyazaki always feels that Disney's animation lacks depth, Ghibli itself really hopes to become the second Disney.

Hayao Miyazaki can regard money as dirt and focus on making the animation he wants to do.

But Toshio Suzuki has to manage money, support studio members, and generate income, so he is very practical.

In fact, there is no need to specify the sales part. When selling wholesale to dealers, the sales volume can be calculated.

Unless pokeni wants to engage in direct sales in the future, such as opening an online mall or something, then it needs to mark each transaction list details like this.

…

Qing Zhiyuan's proposal is actually a good thing for P Club and Ghibli.

"Well, I think it's okay." Suzuki Toshio said.

The two parties quickly reached a preliminary intention, but the subsequent specific details will need to be formally discussed at a formal meeting.

However, Qing Zhiyuan got the promise of Suzuki Toshio and Miyazaki Hayao, and he was very happy.

When leaving Ghibli, Qing Zhiyuan's whole body was floating.

…

During dinner in the evening.

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan talk about Miyazaki and his son, Tsuda Nao became happy.

"Hey, they are really an interesting father and son. Why do I always feel that you would be very happy if you went to Studio Ghibli?"

"Haha," Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "I'm very happy now too. I don't want to go to Studio Ghibli. They quarrel every now and then. Who can persuade them?"

After a long time, I can't bear it. "

Qing Zhiyuan frowned, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Now that I think about it, I really admire Mr. Suzuki. In addition to the daily management of the company, he also has to deal with various interpersonal relationships.

It's actually not easy. "

Tsuda Nao blinked while eating.

I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

Qing Zhiyuan only thinks she is very cute.

Two seconds passed.

"Chigen-kun." Nao Tsuda said.

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at her doubtfully.

"Thank you."

"Um?"

"Thank you for being a gentle and patient person." Tsuda Nao said with a smile.

"Why are you saying this suddenly?"

"Yeah, it's nothing, I just suddenly felt something."

"So, lovely, smart and beautiful Miss Tsuda," Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "let's make a child who is smarter, more lovely, gentle and patient, shall we?"

"Pfft... I don't want it."

"I want it!"

"It's broad daylight... I haven't finished my meal yet."

"What are you afraid of? I want to take a good look at your body, Nao-chan."

"abnormal!"

…
