Chapter 655 559 It's Not Easy to Travel Through Time Once, so I Have to Leave Something Behind, Right?

"Spirited Away" will be released in April. Senior Miyazaki, you have delayed it too long this time, right?" Qing Zhiyuan said half-jokingly.

"How could that be?"

The old man muttered, "We have also worked hard. Many details need time to polish."

Suzuki Toshio beside him gave Qing Zhiyuan a look and said with a smile:

"It's good to be released in April."

Miyazaki Hayao was slightly stunned and looked at Suzuki Toshio with some dissatisfaction.

"Suzuki-san... why do you say it as if we are deliberately delaying the time?"

"Haha, that's not the case."

Suzuki Toshio blinked and laughed, "It's all because Pokeni's game is so good that people are a little addicted to it."

"Suzuki-san..."

Having the truth exposed, old man Miyazaki Hayao was also embarrassed.

But the next second, a series of laughter broke out in the Ghibli studio.

Several people couldn't help laughing, and at the same time infected other people in the studio.

This evening was a brisk evening.

The mountains in the distance seemed to be covered with a layer of golden gauze under the afterglow, looming and adding a bit of hazy poetry. The treetops nearby swayed gently in the evening breeze, making a rustling sound, as if whispering the story of the day.

Qing Zhiyuan didn't know what to say for a moment, "Suzuki-san, you are so amazing, so in the end, "Spirited Away" was not released until April. Is it actually because of Pokeni's fault?"

"No, it's not Pokeni's fault, Pokeni did too well." Mr. Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki agreed.

At the same time, it was equivalent to admitting the fact that he was playing games.

"But it's not that I'm addicted to games. I was watching Suzuki-san and Goro playing next to me."

The old man was still stubborn at this time.

Not honest at all.

The assistant next to him couldn't help but laugh.

These three people are so fun together.

…

“By the way, speaking of Goro…” Qing Zhiyuan actually intentionally led the topic here. Since he was talking about Goro, it was just what he wanted. “I want to ask him a favor.”

“Huh?” Miyazaki was slightly stunned. “What is it?”

Why?

Did Pokeni actually take a fancy to Goro?

But my son, I don’t have such high talent.

Why didn’t you communicate with me first?

It was probably something similar.

Suzuki Toshio stood up first, “I’ll go call Goro over first.”

Qing Zhiyuan just smiled indifferently and said that he would talk about it after Goro came.

More than a minute later, Goro, who was still smoking outside, was called back by Suzuki Toshio. From where Qing Zhiyuan was, he heard the sound of young and energetic people going upstairs.

Suzuki Toshio followed behind, and because of his age, his steps seemed steady and slow.

“President Qing, why are you here?”

Seeing Qing Zhiyuan, Goro seemed particularly happy.

In this world, Qing Zhiyuan is the only one who praises his talent endlessly, and it is because of Qing Zhiyuan's encouragement that he made up his mind to come to Studio Ghibli.

The other one is Suzuki Toshio.

As for Miyazaki Hayao...

Goro just hopes that this old guy will not criticize him too much.

"It's just something." Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "By the way, when you built Studio Ghibli, did you consider that only stairs were not convenient enough?"

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's words, Miyazaki Hayao and Suzuki Toshio were slightly stunned.

The two old guys over fifty looked at each other and laughed at each other.

"When we were building it, we didn't think about such a long-term future," Miyazaki Hayao held a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it, but his mouth kept moving as he spoke.

Hayao Miyazaki lazily leaned back in his chair and scratched his hair with his hands. "For painters like us, the first thing we consider is beauty and artistry, and then function...

And even when we designed it at that time, we just wanted to have a studio that we could be proud of.

There are not many employees, so we don't need a big house.

How could we consider the future decades later?"

Suzuki Toshio couldn't help laughing when he heard him.

"Qing Sang must have noticed that it's not convenient for us to go up the stairs, right?"

It has to be said that Qing Zhiyuan is more meticulous than he thought.

Suzuki Toshio really likes this young man.

No, Qing Zhiyuan, who is 38 years old now, is not young anymore.

He is already a middle-aged man with high spirits.

"How could we have thought that we would grow old at that time?" Suzuki Toshio smiled and sniffed.

Goro listened to their conversation, and his eyes became a little different.

If Qing Zhiyuan hadn't reminded him, he didn't seem to notice this either -

Unconsciously, Miyazaki Hayao and Suzuki Toshio both had white hair and looked very old.

In this situation, physical problems will come sooner or later.

It was as if in an instant, the two stubborn and energetic guys in Goro's impression suddenly became old.

It caught people off guard.

When he thought of this, Goro was a little shaken.

…

Studio Ghibli, in terms of appearance and design, actually conforms to Hayao Miyazaki's definition of beauty and artistry. It is the kind of house where you can tell at a glance that a group of artists must live in it.

However, one thing is not very good. The upper and lower floors are connected by a central staircase. The stairs are quite steep and relatively long.

In fact, it is not very friendly to the elderly.

But as Toshio Suzuki and Hayao Miyazaki said, how could they have thought that it would be inconvenient to go up and down stairs when they were old?

"Should it be made into an escalator?" Wu Lang wondered.

"But that would ruin the overall decoration style." Hayao Miyazaki crossed his hands.

He also seems reluctant to admit that he will grow old.

"By the way, Qingsang, are you here just to let us improve the stairs?" Suzuki Toshio asked quickly.

"Oh, speaking of that."

Qing Zhiyuan looked at Goro Miyazaki with a smile.

Noticing Qing Zhiyuan's gaze, Wu Lang also straightened his back, looked at the other party seriously, and listened carefully.

"It's like this. The staff at pokeni is expanding very quickly. As for us, we want to build a base similar to Studio Ghibli, or called pokeni paradise."

"Pokeni Paradise?" several people said in unison.

"Um."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded, and then told all the ideas he discussed with Akane Ayase yesterday.

"There are office areas and areas for tourists to play, and they can also highlight the cultural characteristics of our company. We can set Pokémon and demon hunters as themes for certain buildings...

Finally, we made it a place that is unique to us, like Disneyland. "

"Ah! What a great idea!" Suzuki Toshio clapped his hands and praised.

"Well... employees will be very happy to work in a place like this, right?" Hayao Miyazaki said.

"This is the same idea as when we built Studio Ghibli. I understand you very well."

Mr. Miyazaki's eyes sparkled, and he fell in love with Qing Zhiyuan even more.

It would be great if Wu Lang could be as creative as Qing Zhiyuan.

"so……"

Qing Zhiyuan looked at Wu Lang, "Didn't Wu Lang study architectural design before? I would like to ask Wu Lang to help us design a place like this.

If it were you, you would definitely understand the feelings of a gamer or animator, right?

These are cultural symbols, and we have won them bit by bit. It is a record that pokeni can be proud of. "

"Ah... that's what I said." Wu Lang clasped his hands together in fear and made an apologetic gesture, "But I'm afraid I will disappoint you.

In the past, I was at most a landscape architect, and I might be good at gardening and landscaping, but to design such a large-scale company base, I probably didn't have the ability. "

Toshio Suzuki hurriedly assisted, "But our art museum was designed by you, Goro."

Three years ago, Hayao Miyazaki planned to build a Ghibli-style museum, and then entrusted it to Goro Miyazaki.

In the end, the job was done brilliantly.

"The Ghibli Museum is now an iconic building within the studio."

Wu Lang was so praised that he was sweating a little, "That's what I say, but I really don't have much confidence."

"Um……"

Qing Zhiyuan frowned, "But I think only people like Goro, who have done original paintings for games and animations for Ghibli, will have the deepest understanding of our needs...

It will be difficult if you can't do it either. "

"Um……"

Goro Miyazaki clicked his lips in embarrassment, "Otherwise, you tell us your needs first, such as how large a park you want to build, what buildings are needed, what are their functions, how many people can be accommodated, and any special needs. …

Although I do not have the ability in this area, I have met many people in the construction industry before and can provide some help to a greater or lesser extent. "

"Okay, thank you very much."

Qing Zhiyuan was overjoyed.

But at this moment, Hayao Miyazaki stretched out his hand to stop him.

"I remember... there seems to be an animation producer named [Xin Haicheng] in your company. Doesn't his family also run a construction company?"

"Eh?"

Qing Zhiyuan was slightly startled.

Yes, why did I forget about him.

Everyone looked at Qing Zhiyuan's expression and couldn't help but laugh.

"If necessary, Goro will definitely help, but Xin Haicheng's father should be enough to meet your company's requirements, right?"

"Okay. I've caused you trouble." Qing Zhiyuan said a little embarrassed.

…

Xin Haicheng's personal talent always makes people ignore his family background intentionally or unintentionally.

But in fact, this guy is the heir to the "Xinjin Group" of Neon's century-old construction company.

His father is also a famous architectural designer who is famous throughout the country and is also the president of the Shinjin Group.

The family background can be said to be quite strong.

When Qing Zhiyuan approached Xinhai Cheng for discussion, the somewhat introverted young man shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If that's the case, I can ask my father.

President, you just need to give me your needs.

I'll take care of the rest. "

"By the way, what is your budget, President?" Shinkai Makoto did not forget to ask.

"Well..." Qing Zhiyuan blinked, "Let me give you the requirements first, and then I will let Ayase Akane take charge of this matter."

"Okay, President." Shinkai Makoto laughed.

...

No matter how much money is needed, Qing Zhiyuan feels that it is not a problem with the current financial resources of Pokeni.

Then Ayase Akane will collect more opinions from employees and make the future Pokeni a landmark building in Tokyo, a dream paradise for gamers, which is the most important thing.

No, maybe not just games, but also movies and various entertainment products. Qing Zhiyuan's ideal is to build a great paradise with a dream color that belongs to Pokeni and the world in this world.

People, it's not easy to travel through time once, so they always have to leave something behind.

He suddenly understood why the emperors in ancient times liked to build palaces and the pharaohs in Egypt liked to build pyramids.

Even if Qing Zhiyuan is gone a hundred years later, at least Pokeni Park can tell people that he has been here.

…

“President?” Shinkai Makoto’s voice pulled him back from his dream.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled.

“That’s great… If Pokeni can build the world’s largest film and game office base…” Shinkai Makoto’s face showed an extremely yearning expression.

The subtext was not said:

I also want to have such a studio.

Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, film animation, have always been Shinkai Makoto’s dream.

And it was precisely because he met Qing Zhiyuan that he felt extremely lucky that his dream could be realized faster than he thought.

“Oh, by the way, how is your new animation?”

“Well, it is expected to be released in February, “Voices of a Distant Star”

Voices of a Distant Star.

The film tells the story of Mikako Nagamine and Noboru Terao, third-year students of the same junior high school, who overcome many difficulties and keep their love between the vast starry sky and the earth.

In the previous life, it was only a 25-minute short film, but it has a strong personal style of [Makoto Shinkai] and can be regarded as one of his masterpieces.

This man who always likes to look at the sky finally made a movie related to the sky.

This seems to have never changed.

However, in this life, with the strong support of Pokeni, the guidance of Qing Zhiyuan, and the script written by Gen Urobuchi.

The content of the movie has also been expanded from 25 minutes to a full 90 minutes.

After all, your last work was "Your Name".

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but look forward to it.

What will "Voices of a Distant Star" be like this time.

"Come on. I'm optimistic about you."

"Thank you, President."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and took a step to leave.

"That..." Shinkai Makoto's voice sounded behind him.

"Hmm?" Qing Zhiyuan looked back at him.

"Why don't you let us produce "The Man Who Depths in the Reverse". Animation."

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh, "You can use the IP of Pokeni at will, there are no restrictions on you."

No matter which side makes money, it is actually Qing Zhiyuan's company.

And the linkage between film and game is a routine that Pokeni has already been familiar with.

He wished that Shinkai Makoto's production capacity would be higher so that he could sell more.

"Thank you, President."
