Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 269 173. I’m waiting for the east wind

Time flies so fast, and it’s April 1995 in a blink of an eye.

Qing Zhiyuan in April was extremely happy.

Because there will be a wave of new people in the company, and among them is Xinjin Cheng, whom Qing Zhiyuan has been thinking about.

Yes, Xinjin Cheng actually graduated.

In Qing Zhiyuan's impression, the last time I saw him was when he was making "Your Name".

Xin Jincheng's internship experience at pokeni was a very important turning point in his life, which also contributed to his determination to work at pokeni after his junior year.

After getting the official appointment, I reported to pokeni in April.

"Welcome home."

Qing Zhiyuan's first words when they met were.

Jun Asae and Atsushi Shirakawa, who were sitting at the workstation, raised their heads at the same time. Why did the president's words sound so familiar?

Only Lao Xu and Mikami, who had surrendered from the beginning, seemed to have not experienced the taste of Qing Zhiyuan's return home.

Xinjin Cheng was extremely happy. When he came to the company this time, he also brought some souvenirs.

He was born into a wealthy family, a standard second-generation rich man, and was the son of a "Xinjin Group" construction family. His father was quite famous in the construction industry.

In his previous life, Xinjin Cheng would occasionally show off his father's creative [villa] designs, which were very valuable at first glance.

So this time when he officially joined the company, Xin Jincheng directly asked someone to carry a large box of things over.

"President, you usually like to drink coffee. This is a specialty of our Nagano Prefecture [Karuizawa Maruyama Coffee]"

If you are a serious coffee addict, you must not miss this "Maruyama Coffee"

[Maruyama Coffee] was founded in 1991. It was originally just a small coffee shop in Karuizawa. Later, President Kentaro Maruyama began to visit coffee producing areas around the world, selecting and buying beans, bringing them back to Japan, roasting them, and providing them to The consumer's hands are completely authentic.

Slowly he also built his own little fame.

Qing Zhiyuan was slightly taken aback.

Do I really like coffee?

I rely on coffee to survive. Otherwise, how can I complete so much work every day?
However, Qing Zhiyuan was 1 happy to receive a gift from Xinjin Cheng.

"Thank you, Xinjin." Qing Zhiyuan patted Xinjincheng's shoulder.

It turns out he wasn't the only one who received Maruyama's bags of coffee.

Akanishi Ken, Sakata Taiji, the entire art department, almost everyone has a share.

Emmm...

how to say?

Qing Zhiyuan looked at the coffee bag in his hand. The packaging was quite beautiful, but it just wasn't that fragrant.

In addition, Xinjincheng also brought some dry goods from the seaside, such as applesauce, and some local handicrafts, such as small hairpins, earrings, etc., which Xinjincheng gave to the young ladies in the company. them.

Everyone was extremely happy after receiving the gift.

"During my internship in the company, I was grateful to my seniors for their care. I would like to thank you for your continued care after I officially join the company. I am very grateful."

This guy Xinjin Cheng really feels like he's coming home.

……

Two old guys, Ken Akanishi and Taiji Sakata, huddled in the corner, looking at Shinjin Makoto and giggling. They had the illusion of an old father watching his son grow up.

"Has this guy changed a bit?" Taiji Sakata asked doubtfully.

"Yes. In my impression, isn't Xinjin the lonely guy who lies on the rooftop and looks at the sky every day?"

"Well...then there's only one explanation."

"what?"

"Maybe he really misses us."

"Ahem...are you an idiot?"

……

Xinjin Cheng is still the same Xinjin Cheng, who likes to look at the sky and fantasize.

As the eldest son of the Xinjin group, he also knows some ways about the world.

But as Taiji Sakata said, Makoto Shinjin really misses everyone.

After two years apart, Makoto Shinjin in school actually misses the days when he was painting at Pokeni. Especially after "Your Name" became a big seller and became Mr. Furuhara's retirement work, Makoto Shinjin also changed in school. He became a very popular young painter.

He is really talented in painting.

But this time when he returned, Xinjin Cheng discovered that [Ms. Furuhara] had also returned.

Qing Zhiyuan said, "Everything is a strategic need of the company."

"Oh."

Xinjin Cheng nodded, feeling like he had learned something again.

"By the way, do you know about our cooperative game with Mr. Hayao Miyazaki?" Qing Zhiyuan asked.

"Yeah." Xinjin Cheng nodded wildly.

I feel very envious and regretful in my heart.

At that time, he was too busy with his studies and had no time to spare. Otherwise, he would have really wanted to work with Hayao Miyazaki and study hard with him.

Not to mention Xinjin Cheng, Qing Zhiyuan also wanted to do it.

Think about it, Makoto Nitsu and Hayao Miyazaki are working together, two giants in the animation industry standing together, the scene is simply epic.

If in the previous life, [Makoto Shinzu] and [Hayao Miyazaki] would have collaborated, no one would have believed it even if Qing Zhiyuan said it.

In fact, in Qing Zhiyuan's opinion, if it were not for historical reasons, these two people would really be a good match.

Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai are two giants in the neon animation industry. Although their works have different styles, they are complementary rather than mutually exclusive in terms of expressing the pursuit of human nature.

Hayao Miyazaki's works are about exploring human power, wisdom, infinite possibilities, world peace, environmental protection and sustainable development of the earth.

For example, "Spirited Away" and "Listening Ear" explore the infinite power of people, develop thinking, and explore life.

It can be said that his thoughts are very high and profound, and he explores very important macro propositions.

Xin Haicheng's works are about digging into the human soul.

Compared with Hayao Miyazaki's creative background in the last century, Makoto Shinkai's works are closer to modern society. People in modern society generally suffer from psychological confusion, rapid development of science and technology, busy society, and people chasing fame and fortune. Lack of communication between people.

Makoto Shinkai’s animation explores more the power of individuals and the power of love.

If there is anything that the two people have in common, it is that in their respective works, each protagonist is actively fighting against fate, and the boys and girls are still moving forward and working hard to save the world.

This is the soul of their work.

The cornerstone of an idealist is to believe in fairy tales and dream of saving the world until old age.

……

One has height and depth, one understands the future and human nature, has an extraordinary perception of beauty, and has a delicate portrayal of emotions.

Are these two animation giants complementary to each other?
Qing Zhiyuan also looks forward to seeing the work jointly created by Makoto Shinzu and Hayao Miyazaki one day in the future.

Whether it’s a game or an animation, it must be a wonderful, thought-provoking, and touching work, right? "Ah, what a pity, I couldn't work and study with Mr. Hayao Miyazaki." Makoto Nizu felt extremely regretful.

"It's okay. There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Qing Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder.

But he quickly remembered something:
"By the way, we do have a collaborative project with Ghibli called "Princess Mononoke". See if you are interested in participating."

"Yes, yes. President, please give me this opportunity!" Xinjin Cheng's eyes shone.

Although this child usually behaves introverted and silent.

But when it comes to treating the things I like and the people I admire, I show a positive, child-like joy.

"Okay, I will incorporate you into the project once it is established. Before that...you go to the Pokémon group first, learn more and practice more, and grow faster.

I look forward to the day when you can be on your own. "

"Okay, thank you President."

After sending Xinjin Cheng away, Qing Zhiyuan looked at his back, but was silently thinking about another thing——

Asahi has collaborated with Hayao Miyazaki.

So what kind of sparks will there be if Asako and Shinkai Makoto partner up?

Ah~ It’s worth looking forward to.

……

A few days later, Ken Akanishi discovered——

Xinjin Cheng is still the same Xinjin Cheng before.

At noon, when I was eating and chatting with Taiji Sakata on the roof, I found a [corpse] lying in the corner.

Good guy.

How much do you like the sky?
Ken Akanishi raised his head.

The sky is foggy today and I can't see anything.

However, he always suspected that Xinjin Cheng could see things beyond the clouds in his eyes, which was the fantasy world in his brain.

"Ah~ Shinjin is back. It's over. Let's start playing the [finding someone] game again." Taiji Sakata said next to him.

When Shinjin Makoto returned to school, it took a long time for Akanishi Ken and Sakata to adapt.

When chatting at noon every day, everyone glanced in this direction intentionally or unintentionally, always feeling that someone was lying there.

Good guy.

It took a lot of effort to forget the wonderful feeling of someone in the corner, but now Xinjin Cheng found it for him again.

The only difference is that the current pokeni has moved to a new building.

The floors are getting higher.

It also became a little closer to the sky.

But in fact, when standing at a high place, it is better to put your vision down to experience the domineering feeling of "seeing all the small mountains at a glance".

Akanishi Ken silently finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, extinguished the cigarette butt in his wallet, put it away, and then silently walked towards Shinjin Makoto.

The latter seemed to realize that he had been discovered. He glanced to the side and realized that Akanishi-senpai was really coming towards him, so he quickly sat up from his chair.

"Akanishi-senpai."

Xinjincheng nodded respectfully.

Akanishi Ken was not polite, he smiled and sat next to Shinjin Makoto, and he also raised his head to look at the foggy sky in the same way.

"Xinjin, if you like the sky so much, then create a work with the sky as the theme."

"Eh?"

Xinjin Cheng was slightly startled.

Being exposed so directly by his senior made Xinjin Cheng blush.

"Ah...that, not really, maybe more of a story about wanting to pursue people beyond the sky."

Xinjincheng smiled sheepishly, "Actually, I still like to imagine stories between people."

"oh, I see."

Although Ken Akanishi was a little embarrassed, he didn't show it at all.

"No matter what it is, just go ahead and do it. Art can also lead game projects. As long as you are good enough, I believe the president will recognize you."

"Well, thank you senior."

……

Akanishi Ken finished pretending and walked silently downstairs.

what……

As a senior, he seemed to have said something particularly cool just now.

It’s so cool to encourage younger generations to work hard and pursue their dreams.

Ken Akanishi felt that his head was a lot brighter.

"I just don't know what the president thinks."

When I returned to the company, I intentionally walked around the president's office and found Qing Zhiyuan sitting in a chair in a daze.

That expression looked very much like Xinjin Cheng looking at the sky.

"President, aren't you going to the United States? Why are you still here?" Akanishi Ken knocked on the door.

It has been almost two months since the last time Qing Zhiyuan said he was going to the United States to get a graphics card.

There was actually no news at all, and the president was very calm and had almost forgotten about this matter.

Akanishi Ken didn't want to remind him at first, but it made him feel uncomfortable because he kept hanging on like this.

"Ok?"

Qing Zhiyuan came to his senses and stretched.

"You don't understand, I'm waiting for the east wind."

"what?"

What is Dongfeng?

Ken Akanishi said he couldn't understand.
