After two years of painting, he is still not rusty in his old profession. In addition to the settings, imagination, and story scripts, the writing style and rhetoric in his novels are also praised, which makes him happier than being praised after making an excellent animation.
And when he sees the clear sales figures, his joy will be even greater.
An important thing, don’t underestimate the Moon Chubs, don’t underestimate the Moon Chubs, don’t underestimate the Moon Chubs!
In the previous life, Moon Fans were a large group of cute kids with great stickiness, willingness to pay for love, and strong purchasing power.
In this life, although the only truly famous work is "Fate/Zero", but with its exaggerated quality and its thunderous debut and sweeping momentum in this almost desert entertainment market, the fame of the Type-Moon world has been thoroughly established. The derivative novel "Kara no Kyoukai" benefited from it. Even though it was released at the end of the month, the sales volume has reached the top of this month's sales list in just seven days.
One hundred thousand copies in seven days, the publisher reprinted twice within a single week, and the annual sales volume is expected to be more than four million. After the animation, Sato Yu is also creating miracles in the novel field.
But we still need to clearly understand that the truly amazing work is "Fate/Zero" and Sato Yuu, not Sato Yuu's "Kara no Kyoukai".
Although the novel is interesting, with good writing style, and would have been a hit if released on its own, it would never have reached the level it has today. The only reason it has achieved this is because of the huge popularity of "Fate/Zero". It is the animation that has helped it become so popular.
This perception is prevalent in the publishing industry.
This is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it is precisely because the industry has such a correct understanding that the IP value of the Fate series and the Type-Moon world is taken more seriously and valued.
It has become a consensus that being able to board the Type-Moon World ship and develop derivative products is like grabbing money with a sack of arms.
Capital pursues profits, so for a time the phone line of Pandia's external affairs department was paralyzed by calls, and the library editors, producers and managers of various peripheral manufacturers who came to wait in front of the company were even more crowded.
“It seems like we are really popular.”
When she tried to enter the company's gate, she was surrounded by nearly a hundred people with bags full of business cards. She couldn't break through the encirclement no matter what. In the end, it was the company security guards and a dozen painters led by Hamanishi Ryunosuke who escorted her into the building. On the phone, she recounted what had happened before, and the frightened Mochizuki Nanae's voice was still a little dazed.
Hey, if she keeps doing this for a few more years, she might be able to buy out her father's company and turn the tables on him——
[Look, look, I've said it all, there's no future in real estate, you still have to rely on the second dimension to make money! Come to work in my company, start as a low-level employee and slowly accumulate experience, and when I get old, I'll hand over the ownership of the company to you, and take over my job! ]
Ever since she started working as a painter, her father has been nagging her every day. Mochizuki Nanae has always dreamed of telling him this once, and now, it seems that all this will no longer be a dream.
This "no longer a dream" made her feel as if she was in a dream, floating high in the air.
She was even a little scared.
"...Sato, you won't leave, will you?"
In the Type-Moon world, a top IP has been born, and Sato Yu can complete all categories including comics, animation, and novels by himself with absolute independence. He has become famous and is no longer dependent on anyone or any company.
The company is making money from the animation, and the sales of the novels are also going into the public account. As a creator, the creator of a world, most of the money earned from the IP belongs to Pandia. According to the original profit-sharing contract, Sato Yuu only gets a small share...
Of course, Nanae Mochizuki has already started preparing to modify the profit-sharing contract between the two parties so that Sato Yu will not suffer too much in this regard, but, how to say it, all this makes Nanae Mochizuki panic.
He has been enduring a contract that is unfavorable to him, but he has not shown any resentment or any desire to change the status quo. Is Sato Yu trying to compensate her?
Then, when he thinks the compensation is sufficient, he will leave the IP to her, and he will leave and go to a company that can truly further realize his ambitions...
Sato Yuu shouldn't be so heartless, but Mochizuki Nanae couldn't help thinking so, as if she simply couldn't accept the fact that Sato Yuu left her.
Well, she really couldn't accept it, otherwise, she wouldn't have asked the question with a trembling voice on the phone.
"Why? Wangyue, you can't bear to leave me?"
"...I can't bear to leave."
Mochizuki Nanae is rarely honest.
In response to these frank words, Sato Yu's breathing became heavier, and then he laughed.
"I am a sentimental fool. I will not choose the best. I will only choose what I think is the right one and the one that can make me feel at ease.
Along the way until now, I know how much I have hurt you, and how I relied on you to achieve what I have today. Don't worry, I will accompany you to make animations for the rest of my life.
The promises made then still stand today.”
"...Well, for a lifetime...I really am so worried about everything. Sato, you don't think I am a nuisance, do you?"
“It’s quite troublesome.”
"Hmm~Okay, when will you be back to work? You haven't been in the company for a while, and there have been a lot of rumors. People are all worried that you intend to leave."
"It's really annoying to always assume other people's feelings. I'll wait for a while. I'm preparing a big project. Compared to the office, it's quieter at home, where I can concentrate on my work without being disturbed."
The most important thing is that he doesn't want to scare people and doesn't want to be sent to a research institute to be sliced and studied.
After splitting one time into two and extracting the animation reproduction reward provided by the system, Sato Yu discovered that the information could not be created out of thin air, but only appeared in his head. He would eventually need to copy it manually, so now he is doing both, drawing storyboards and writing scripts to save time.
This state cannot be seen by others, so he can only work at home. This is also the reason why he is communicating with Mochizuki Nanae on the phone now.
"Big project? New animation? Or do you have other ideas besides Galgame and the Sky Realm novel?"
“Both. I will wait for the broadcast of Fate/Zero to be completed and the dust has settled with the national team before I start the next animation project. However, I cannot stop developing the Type-Moon IP either.
In addition to opening up some copyrights to some scriptwriters and comic writers, in return for the kindness of those who are about to return to Kyoto Animation to continue working, I plan to let them write the sequel to the Fate series, "Fate/Stay night", which tells the story of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
This way, the quality is guaranteed, and they can make more profits after their hard work, which facilitates the company's reconstruction.
Besides that, I have also made a game project. The scripts for the first two chapters have been prepared. In a couple of days, Ms. Sugino and I will visit various game manufacturers, mainly Cygames."
"Novels, comics, I thought you'd stop there, but there are games too. Besides you're really busy... you're really a freak."
"Please call me Kami!"
“Okay, okay, Sato Kami, from what you said, if the plan can be approved, it can indeed fill in the last piece of the puzzle for IP development, but I don’t know much about games, so I’m mainly confused about the animation plan.
The national team animation has completely gone to waste, and our victory is completely inevitable. Why do we have to wait for them to finish before starting a new project?
We can finish the painting task one and a half months in advance, saving time. Wouldn't it be better to let the people in the team who have free time start painting during this time?"
Regarding games, FGO is the last piece of the puzzle for IP expansion, especially breaking the circle. It is the most indispensable step in the process of breaking into all circles of society from the two-dimensional circle. Sato Yu will naturally not forget it.
He has written a lot of game scripts, which are attractive enough to attract game manufacturers and make them devote all their efforts to development. However, there is no famous TYPE-MOON in this world, so the publisher can only be changed. At present, Sato Yu's favorite is the wealthy Cygames.
As for the game content, similar to the desert situation of novels, animation and other industries, the famous darkness has not yet shrouded this industry. Xiaomi on the other side of the sea is just at the level of launching Collapse 3. At this time, games with weaker gameplay can still gain a foothold in this still bright paradise.
There is not much talent in this area, so professional matters should be left to professionals. Sato Yu did not specify the way to play the game, but proposed three aspects of the concept.
One is the original gameplay of FGO, which is a turn-based system based on three cards, red, green and blue, supplemented by animation performances.
One is Cygames’s main business, which is the gameplay of “Princess Link”, with villains fighting and semi-automatic tapping skills.
The last one is to make a tower defense game based on "Arknights".
These are ultimately decided by the game company, and Sato Yu does not interfere. All he requires is quality and speed.
As long as the game can be produced and released within nine months with the highest quality and pave the way for his subsequent two animation works, Sato Yu will sign any contract, no matter how disadvantageous it is, as long as this can be achieved.
Well, having said that, actually, with the current popularity of the Type-Moon World IP, no company would dare to neglect Sato Yu, and a bad contract would be almost impossible to appear?
Anyway, this is how he considered this aspect. As for the question raised by Nanae Mochizuki...
Or is it to gain fame?
Although with the existing staff and financial resources of the company, it is not impossible to persuade Nanae Mochizuki to use super high salaries to force Kyoto Animation's people to stay for another half a year, or even sign some agreements to keep the remaining staff of Kyoto Animation headquarters in Tokyo to continue making animation, but Sato Yu did not choose this.
He is a greedy person. For his next animation, he only wants to choose the one with the largest traffic.
"Why do we have to wait until the national team animation is finished before starting a new project... Because I want to prove that the problem is not the national team, but the lack of a supervisor like me."
"What do you mean?"
The words she heard were too shocking. Mochizuki Nanae might have understood the meaning, but she still asked subconsciously while taking a deep breath.
In response, Sato laughed, with a hint of teasing in his voice.
"I will take in the painters of the Heartbroken National Team, recruit them, and then, I will help them win back what they have lost!"

Volume 160: Chapter Chapter . Don't want to go to work
[I will not spare you, I will never forgive you! Souls who are obsessed with fame and fortune and trampled on the glory of knights, I will pollute your dreams with my blood!
I curse the Holy Grail! I curse your wishes for the disaster that will follow! When you fall into hell, you will remember the wrath of Diarmait! 】
[The "container" plus the disguise of "Irisviel", that is me. Next time, I won't even be able to communicate.]
[Teacher, you are just like my father. You didn’t understand me until the very end.]
[Kill me, use that, please, kill me! Please! ]
[I'll do it! There's a barrier around the forest, and it's a very strong barrier that will take a long time to unlock. But, I can get in, so I have to do it!]
[After losing my job... maybe I can only play the role of a mom. ]
The plot is "running wild", but unlike "DARLING in the FRANXX" where the plot is running wild without any sense, the foreshadowing is being recycled, everything is so reasonable and logical, the plot of "Fate/Zero" is "running wild" in an orderly manner.
The first sign of this was in episode 16, when Kiritsugu used an unconventional move to ensure Saber's victory over Lancer in a duel that would tarnish the honor of the knights.
He threatened the lives of Kenneth and his fiancée, forcing Kenneth to use the Command Spell to order Lancer to commit suicide. This resulted in the upright knight, who had adhered to the spirit of chivalry and responded to the call of the Holy Grail just to be loyal to his lord, dying from the betrayal of his lord.
After doing all this, Kiritsugu immediately tore up the agreement and ordered his subordinate Maiya to shoot Kenneth and his fiancée. Watching all this with cold eyes, Kiritsugu, who was smoking a cigarette calmly, looked as if he was mocking—
It satirizes the so-called honor and loyalty of the knights, promises and integrity, and even more so the pathetic and pitiful stupid audience.
The Holy Grail War is never a game of house; it is inherently dirty, and the glory of the heroic spirits ultimately belongs only to the heroes.
As for the Masters? They are just a bunch of completely despicable creatures, evil spirits whose minds and faces are blinded by desires, and shameful insects that tarnish the glory of heroes.
The plot had already taken a dark turn, but it was only the first week of the release of Kara no Kyoukai, so the audience was still able to tolerate such a betrayal.
However, what tolerance brings... Even if the audience does not tolerate it, the facts will not change. Lancer's death is just an appetizer, just a prelude to the coming of darkness.
The next week, in episode 17, the lady who is deeply loved by the audience and the female character who has been ranked first in popularity for twelve consecutive weeks, the android Irisviel, explains to Maiya that she is an object in order to obtain the truth of the Holy Grail, and tells the audience of her fate of dying for Kiritsugu.
Shocked, horrified and saddened by this long-foreshadowed news, only half an episode had passed, and at the very end of the episode, a happy Kotomine Kirei killed his teacher, Tōsaka Tokitsu.
Betrayal, endless betrayal, these characters are so disgusting, but the plot is so exciting.
So far, three of the followers have died. The audience thought that the plot would become simpler, but they never expected that it would become more confusing and fascinating, but fascinating in such a sinister way.
So they were angry, they cursed, or they were deeply pleased, but all in all, they finally tolerated the plot that Sato Yu showed them.
It is dark, but it is really exciting and beautiful!
In this way, in the next episode, the eighteenth episode, the story perspective suddenly shifted from the Holy Grail battlefield to Emiya Kiritsugu, who was the "male protagonist" in this group portrait drama.
Please, "DARLING in the FRANXX" collapsed in the meaningless flashbacks and character development plots that have nothing to do with the main storyline. "Fate/Zero" has such a tight story rhythm, please don't have such a crappy plot.
The audience complained like this, but after half an episode, they fell silent.
A wonderful childhood on the island, pure and beautiful, a delightful childhood sweetheart. In just three or five minutes, the audience was intoxicated by the beauty of the girl "Xia Lei" and completely fell in love with this beautiful girl.
So, the question is, in "Fate/Zero", under the pen of Sato Yu, what is the significance of creating such a character?
It was to become a Dead Apostle, to eat his own flesh and blood, to pray that Kiritsugu, who loved him deeply, would kill him with his own hands, to show the price of hesitation, to turn everyone in the village into Dead Apostles, and to completely make Kiritsugu heartbroken.
Finally, facing his loved ones, Kiritsugu no longer hesitated and made the final decision.
After Kotomine Kirei killed his father and his master, Emiya Kiritsugu also embarked on the path of killing his father... No, in fact, he had killed his father before Kotomine Kirei.
And then, in the next episode, he raised his RPG and aimed it at a plane carrying hundreds of Dead Apostles and his own master, killing his own teacher.
"Fuck! Master! Stop it! Emiya Kiritsugu... Sato Yuu, you deserve to die!"
During the live broadcast, even the high priest Kota Totani, who had always praised Sato Yu and founded the Sato Cult and worshipped him, was instantly defeated. He could not hold back his emotions and burst into foul language, attempting to kill Kami, whom he worshipped.
The so-called tragedy is to destroy all beautiful things in front of people.
If you think about it carefully, if the first fifteen episodes of "Fate/Zero" are about creation, shaping beautiful and noble characters, showing the spirit of knights, the proud way of life of kings, and creating a fascinating mythical battlefield, then the subsequent episodes are all about destruction.
The reason why beautiful things are created is, from the very beginning, to destroy them.
The way of chivalry, the way of teacher and student, the way of father and son, the way of husband and wife, and even the way of the king that Saber upholds, Emiya Kiritsugu and Kotomine Kirei, these two people destroyed, damaged, and humiliated them without hesitation.
Those who are beautiful must make him ugly.
Those who are powerful will make him a puppet.
Those who truly love each other, let them hate each other.
Those who are as close as brothers, let them become enemies forever.
The glorious outer layer was finally stripped off, and beneath the endless calculations and betrayals, the Holy Grail War revealed its ugliest and most disgusting nature.
They are all kind-hearted people. Seeing these things, they will inevitably be stunned, angry, and sad, so there are still many voices of opposition.
[Damn, I can’t stand it anymore. My favorite characters all leave in the most tragic and ironic ways. Is this something a human can write? (Please, please come earlier next week)]
[I was completely deceived. It was the same as last time, the time before, and the time before. Sato Yuu, he still knows how to defraud people! ]
[They even said that he was more patient this time, and spent 16 episodes waiting for everyone to fall in love with the characters in the play and become deeply addicted to the plot before he cut the knife! If you really call the police, you must sentence him to 10 or 8 years, and let him write Fate in prison for the rest of his life! ]
[I hate being cheated, and I feel sad when being stabbed, but I seem to have been tamed. Even now, I still feel like ants are crawling on my body before I can see the next episode! ]
