Is it not a galgame?

"Spirited Away will only be released in April. Miyazaki-senpai, you took too long this time, right?" Qing Zhiyuan said half-jokingly.

"how could be?"

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

Next to him, Toshio Suzuki gave Qing Zhiyuan a look and said with a smile:
"It would be great if it can be released in April."

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

"Suzuki-san...why do you make it sound like we are delaying time on purpose?"

"Haha, it's nothing."

Toshio Suzuki blinked and said with a smile, "It's all because pokeni's games are so well done that they make people a little addicted."

"Suzuki-san..."

After the truth was revealed, Mr. Hayao Miyazaki felt embarrassed.

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

Several people couldn't help laughing, and it also infected other people in the studio.

This evening is a brisk evening.

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

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

"No, it's not pokeni's fault, it's pokeni's fault." Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki agreed.

At the same time, it is equivalent to admitting the fact that he is playing a game.

"But, it's not that I'm addicted to games. I just watched Suzuki-san and Goro playing from the side."

The old man is so stubborn when it comes to things like this.

Not honest at all.

The assistant next to him couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed.

These three are so much fun together.

……

"By the way, when it comes to Wu Lang..." Qing Zhiyuan actually led the topic here intentionally. Since it comes to Wu Lang, it plays into his heart, "I want to ask him a favor."

"Huh?" Hayao Miyazaki was slightly startled, "What's going on?"

how?

Did pokeni actually like Goro?
But my son is not that talented.

Why don't you communicate with me first?

Probably something similar.

It was Suzuki Toshio who stood up first, "I'll call Goro over first."

Qing Zhiyuan just smiled lightly and said he would wait until Wu Lang came.

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

Suzuki Toshio followed, his steps seemed steady and slow due to his age.

"President Qing, why are you here?"

Wu Lang seemed particularly happy to see Qing Zhiyuan.

In this world, Qing Zhiyuan was the only one who was full of praise for his talent. It was precisely because of Qing Zhiyuan's encouragement that he made up his mind to come to Studio Ghibli.

There is another one named Toshio Suzuki.

As for Hayao Miyazaki...

Wu Lang just asked this old guy not to criticize him too much.

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

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

The two old guys, who were over fifty years old, looked at each other and laughed at each other.

"When we were building it, we never thought about such a long-term future," Hayao Miyazaki said, holding a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it, but kept moving his mouth as he spoke.

Hayao Miyazaki leaned lazily on the back of his chair and ran his hands through his hair, "For painters like us, the first thing we consider is beauty and artistry, and then functionality...

And even when we were designing, we just wanted to have a studio that we could be proud of.

We don’t have many employees, so we don’t really need a big house.

How is it possible to think decades into the future? "

Listening to his words, Suzuki Toshio couldn't help but laugh.

"Qingsang must have noticed that it's inconvenient for us to go up the stairs, right?"

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

Suzuki Toshio really likes this young man.

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

He is already a high-spirited middle-aged man.

"We never imagined that we would grow old." Suzuki Toshio smiled and sniffed.

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

If it weren't for Qing Zhiyuan's reminder, he didn't seem to notice this -

Before you know it, both Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki have gray hair and look very old.

Under such circumstances, physical problems will come sooner or later.

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

Caught people off guard.

When he thought of this, Wu Lang became 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.

"Ah."

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, setting 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, a job well done.

"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 don't 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, President, what's your budget?" Xin Haicheng didn't forget to ask.

"Well..." Qing Zhiyuan blinked, "Let me give you your needs first, and then I will ask Ayase Akane to handle this matter."

"Okay president." Xin Haicheng laughed.

……

No matter how much money is needed, Qing Zhiyuan feels that it is not a problem given Pokeni's current financial resources.

Akane Ayase then collected the opinions of some employees to build the future pokeni into a landmark building in Tokyo and a dream paradise for gamers. This is the most important thing.

No, maybe not just games, but also movies, television and various entertainment products. Qing Zhiyuan’s ideal is——

Build a great and dreamlike paradise in this world that is unique to pokeni and the world.

People, after finally traveling through time, there is always something left behind.

He suddenly understood why ancient emperors liked to build palaces and the Egyptian pharaohs liked to build pyramids.

Even if Qing Zhiyuan is gone a hundred years later, at least Pokeni Paradise can tell people——

He has been here before.

……

"President?" Xin Haicheng's voice pulled him back from his longing.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled.

"That's great...if pokeni can build the world's largest video game office base..." Makoto Shinkai showed an expression of great yearning on his face.

The subtext is not spoken:

I really want to have a studio like this.

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

But it was when he met Qing Zhiyuan that he felt extremely lucky that his dream could come true sooner than he imagined.

"Ah, by the way, how's your new animation going?"

"Well, "Voice of the Star" is expected to be released in February."

Voice of the Stars.

The film tells the story of Mikako Nagamine and Noboru Terao, third-year students at the same junior high school, who overcame numerous difficulties to maintain their love between the vast starry sky and the earth.

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

This man who always liked to watch the sky finally made a movie related to the sky.

This doesn't seem to have changed.

However, in this life, due to the strong support of pokeni and the guidance of Qing Zhiyuan, Xuan Urobuchi wrote the script for it.

The film content 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 "Voice of the Stars" look like this time?

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

"Thank you, President."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and took steps to leave.

"That..." Xin Haicheng's voice sounded behind him.

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan looked back at him.

"Why don't you give us the animation of "The Man with Reverse Degrees"."

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh, "You can use the IP on Pokeni as you like. There are no restrictions for you in the first place."

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

Moreover, movie-game linkage is a routine that pokeni has long been familiar with.

He wished that Xin Haicheng's production capacity was higher so that he could make more money selling it.

"Thank you, President."
