Is it not a galgame?

"Well, it's actually like this." Qing Zhiyuan seemed to feel that it was a bit impolite to ask, so he quickly apologized, and then explained the reason to Hayao Miyazaki.

"Actually, I am Gu Yuan Chunqiu."

Qing Zhiyuan leaned into Hayao Miyazaki's ear and said.

"what?"

Miyazaki was a little surprised, but not that surprised.

The main reason is that he has only heard about the deeds of Furuhara Tsubaki from Toshio Suzuki, but he doesn’t know much about his previous works. The only thing he knows is that the game "Your Name" is really good, beyond Hayao Miyazaki's imagination for the game and cognition.

But in this way, he appreciated Qing Zhiyuan even more.

"So you made "Your Name"?"

"En." Qing Zhiyuan nodded distressedly, "Senior, please keep this secret for me."

"I like this game very much." Hayao Miyazaki did not hide his love at all, "The painting style is very delicate, especially pleasing to the eye."

"Thank you Miyazaki-senior," Qing Zhiyuan put his hands together, "I didn't want to continue making games with Furuhara Chunqiu before, and at the same time I wanted to give the place to young people, so I issued a retirement statement. There are not enough game producers now, maybe Need to use back to the ancient original Chunqiu, so somewhat panic.

I want to know how you deal with it. "

Oh, that.

Miyazaki understood immediately.

He glanced at Qing Zhiyuan and smiled meaningfully.

Good guy, you are so young and say you want to give way to young people, so what about me, a middle-aged and elderly man in his 50s?
But... Thinking about it carefully, it's really a coincidence that Qing Zhiyuan had the same experience as him.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that the fate was even more wonderful.

"That's it... It's really an interesting question to come back after retiring."

Hayao Miyazaki sat back on the chair, crossed his legs, and scratched the silver hair behind his head with his right hand.

Instinctively want to light a cigarette to smoke, but suddenly remembered that this is a non-smoking place inside the store.

Qing Zhiyuan came to his senses immediately, and said with a smile, "Senior, why don't we go outside and chat."

He put his index and middle fingers on his lips and gestured.

Hayao Miyazaki chuckled.

……

After eating dessert, the two found a smoking room on the street and sat down, smoked separately, and continued chatting for a while.

"Every time I retire, I am serious."

Hayao Miyazaki took a puff of his cigarette, recalled the mood at that time, and laughed involuntarily.

"When I finished making Laputa in the Sky, I thought this was probably the pinnacle of my life." Hayao Miyazaki looked back at Qing Zhiyuan and said, "My thoughts are similar to yours, and the reasons may be different. After filming When Laputa was in the sky, I was 45 years old.

I think it's time to make room for young people.

Moreover, retiring at the peak of life may be the best destination for us comic authors.

According to my thoughts at the time, I didn't want to go downhill due to lack of physical strength or creativity in the future, and finally quit because of poor grades.

This would be too embarrassing. "

Qing Zhiyuan listened silently, looking at the expression on the old man's face, he knew that he was serious about what he said.

Sometimes, people can retreat bravely, and it takes a lot of courage to stop at the peak.

"Senior Miyazaki is really amazing to be able to say that he will retire after the end of "Castle in the Sky." Qing Zhiyuan sighed.

Throughout China's thousands of years of history, there are very few people who can truly achieve success and retire.

Hayao Miyazaki smiled lightly, "About coming back later... I don't actually want to say that it was for Ghibli or for the audience, although there are also some reasons for it."

"I'm also troubled, saying, whether this era still needs Hayao Miyazaki, whether Hayao Miyazaki's new works can still be read, whether they can surpass previous works, these will actually give you invisible pressure."

"But after retreating, there's a little fire inside that burns and turns into a powerful force that pulls you out of bed and pushes you forward."

"The ideas that are constantly being born in the brain, if you don't draw them, you can't bear them."

"Maybe this is my flaw."

"Based on these, I made "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Porco Rosso""

Hayao Miyazaki said this, with a childlike smile on his face.

This is probably the pure animator's love and dedication to animation.

Seeing his expression, Qing Zhiyuan felt that a guy like himself who had no talent and became the president of a game company was really rubbish.

I'm afraid he won't be able to understand what kind of mood this kind of "I can't bear it if I don't draw out the thoughts in my head" is this kind of mood.

"After the Porco Rosso, I feel that I have expressed everything I want to express, and I don't seem to have any regrets in my life, so I told the media [my animation career is over]," Hayao Miyazaki shook his head with a wry smile, and then said Cigarette, knocked on his head with his hand.

"It's still the same. The ideas that are constantly being born, many novel things, and the desire to express, seem to have a magical power entrenched in the head. If it is not released, it will accumulate more and more, and eventually it will fill the entire brain, like sea water. To overflow.

so……"

Hayao Miyazaki smiled sheepishly, "I've been working on a new animation recently."

"Huh? Really?"

Although Qing Zhiyuan knew the name of this animation a long time ago, he still pretended to be surprised to cooperate with the performance, "That's great, it's really a kind of luck to continue to see your future works."

"No, no." Hayao Miyazaki smiled and waved his hands, "It's hard to say what the actual result will be, and it's possible that the audience will scold you to death.

But I'm exploring the answer I'm looking for in my own way. "

"Then did you find it?"

Qing Zhiyuan asked tentatively.

He knew that the animation Hayao Miyazaki was about to produce was "Princess Mononoke", and the content explored was the ultimate proposition between man and nature, but he still wanted to ask the person concerned about their views and mental journey.

Hayao Miyazaki froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"No."

Qing Zhiyuan also laughed.

He looked back at the senior Hayao Miyazaki. There were two dimples on his smooth cheeks, which were cute and funny.

It's great to be able to chat with such seniors.

"You'd better grow your beard."

"Eh?"

Hayao Miyazaki stroked the stubble on his chin, and laughed naively, "Don't you feel sloppy?"

"Not at all. Sloppy has nothing to do with beards."

"This is more intimate." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"LOL, really?"

……

"Anyway," said Miyazaki, "just be sincere. Don't think too much about it.

If you really want to retire, then retreat.

If you have to come back, then do it according to your own ideas.

Because life is your own choice. "

Ok.

Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

I feel like I learned a lot.

But Ghibli has such a good teacher, how come there is no successor, Qing Zhiyuan really can't figure this out.

Oh no, Anno Hideaki should be regarded as Hayao Miyazaki's favorite student, but it's a pity that this guy doesn't work for Ghibli.

Sometimes students need talent too.

At least Qing Zhiyuan felt that he was not good enough.

The reason why he can still hold the scene now is mainly due to his insight into the future, which is equivalent to copying the ideas of many big bosses, but it seems that there is still something missing that allows him to independently create works comparable to those of the big gods.

……

"correct."

At this moment, Hayao Miyazaki's voice came from beside him.

Now that the topic has reached this point and the atmosphere is good, Hayao Miyazaki said cheekily, "There is one thing I've been thinking about for a long time, and I just want to take advantage of today's opportunity to ask Qingsang."

"Ok?"

"That's right," Miyazaki said with a smile. "To tell you the truth, we're working on a new animated film, but, well, I'd like to ask pokeni to make it into a game."

"what?!"

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned.

what? !

Hayao Miyazaki is giving us Princess Mononoke to make a game?
It's simply...

It was completely beyond his expectation, and he had never even dreamed of it.

How could Hayao Miyazaki authorize animation to others to make games? !
And it's Princess Mononoke!
In Qing Zhiyuan's cognition, this is almost impossible.

"Well, this is the result of my discussion with Suzuki-san, but I haven't made up my mind." Hayao Miyazaki smiled, "We will complete the storyboard script of the new animation as soon as possible, and then send it to pokeni. Until then, please make a decision."

"Okay, okay." Qing Zhiyuan took a deep breath and still hasn't recovered.

Although I really want to agree now, but it always feels a bit informal. Since it involves the cooperation of two companies, it is better to follow the formal process.

"Well...Actually, we also have one thing to ask Miyazaki-senpai."

Since this is the case, Qing Zhiyuan also wants to talk about etiquette (de) Shang (cun) to (jin) to (chi).

"Huh?" Mr. Hayao Miyazaki was also stunned.

Guys, what are we here for?
Do you have a good heart?
In the game "LIFE-lINE", there is a part of the plot that requires strong original painting performance, because the setting about the daughter is that she can draw great paintings, which is sought after by people.

Qing Zhiyuan tried several times by himself, but still couldn't find the style he was satisfied with.

But if it is Hayao Miyazaki, maybe it can have a strong performance effect.

So for the game LL, Qing Zhiyuan wanted to ask Hayao Miyazaki to draw some very important illustrations in it.

……

A week later, Hayao Miyazaki came to Pokeni Co., Ltd. with the first version of the storyboard and script of "Princess Mononoke".

Qing Zhiyuan gave a warm reception.

Shinji Mikami, who was concentrating on his work and having a lively discussion with his colleagues, suddenly found that the surrounding environment became quiet.

Looking back, I found that the president led a silver-haired bearded man and a thin old man into the meeting room.

Followed by new project leader Mika Ishino, program director Ken Akanishi, and art director Taiji Sakata...

"Wow, did I read that right? Could it be Hayao Miyazaki who just passed by?"

"real or fake?"

"Really, really Hayao Miyazaki!"

"Why did Hayao Miyazaki come to us? Is he going to play games?"

"Nani?! Really, how is this possible?!"

Everyone's first reaction is how is this possible.

After all, Hayao Miyazaki gave the impression that he hated games before, so why did he suddenly come to pokeni now?

"Could it be that you want to animate the game?"

"Ghibli? Draw our game? Is this possible?" Everyone had question marks on their faces.

Although this explanation seems to be more reliable than cooperative games, it is difficult for everyone to imagine that Ghibli can make animations for others.

"Which game did you fancy? "Your Name"? Or "The Bed Man"?"

"These two games have great potential for animation, but hasn't Ghibli always followed the original route? You know, this is Hayao Miyazaki. He can't even produce his own ideas. How could he think of going to Take someone else's work?"

"Yeah... I can't understand it."

"Actually," at this moment, as a rare insider, Akane Ayase whispered, "As far as I know, the president wants to ask Master Hayao Miyazaki to draw some original paintings for the new game. "

As for the part about cooperative games, Akane Ayase didn't know about it, so I didn't talk about it.

"Nani?!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Everyone felt even more incredible about this answer.

"Hayao Miyazaki to be our concept artist? Is that possible?"

"Don't ask me, I've lost my mind."

"It's just the original painting design, not the original artist. It's a friendly help." Akane Ayase said.

"Isn't that all the same thing?"

"Terrible, our president is terrible, how did he do it?"

"Yes, it's completely incomprehensible. It's beyond my imagination."

……

In the conference room, the high-level negotiations between Ghibli and Pokeni were extremely relaxed and efficient.

Although Qing Zhiyuan has not seen the storyboard of Ghibli's new work, but after confirming that it is "Princess Mononoke", the big stone in his heart also fell to the ground.

He is very familiar with "Princess Mononoke". He has watched this animated film at least three times, and he has different feelings every time he sees it. In his mind, "Princess Mononoke" can be regarded as the pinnacle of Hayao Miyazaki one of the works.

Its profound connotation, grandeur, and non-positional narrative style show the audience the most primitive power of life.

Moreover, this animation is really good to be adapted into a game.

Especially real-time combat games.

The movements of the hero and heroine have been very smooth in the film, especially the scene where Princess Mononoke rushes forward on the back of a wolf, which is so handsome.

Qing Zhiyuan still remembers it vividly in retrospect, and the impression is not insignificant.

If it is adapted into an action game, it will definitely have a strong fighting effect. Even Qing Zhiyuan is not fully sure that he can fully express the momentum conveyed in the film.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help feeling a little regretful——

It would be great if it was 10 years later. The current game hardware has not yet developed. If it is [-] years later, he believes that the game "Princess Mononoke" can be made better.
