Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 197: Building a full industrial chain, Gui Yewu's ambition! What the hell, Qingshan the old thief? !
The success of "Ultraman" has made Tsuburaya Hero walk with his head held high during this period.

what?
You said he was a failure before?

Ha ha!

The Tsuburaya hero sneered.

"That's not dark history, that's the way I came here!"

From now on, please call him "Father of Ultraman!"

Onino Takeshi: Then what am I?
Hero Tsuburaya: ...Then I am Ultraman’s mother?
Although Hero Tsuburaya was very proud, he did not forget who gave him all this. After receiving a call from Takeshi Onino, he immediately rushed to Onino Film.

"What? Are you going to make Ultraman into an animation?"

When Hearing the purpose of Onino Takeshi calling him here, Tsuburaya Hero showed a surprised expression.

"Yes."

Onino Takeshi nodded and said, "I have already set up an animation production department. You go there and cooperate with the supervisor to make the animated version of Ultraman."

Can Ultraman be made into an animation?

of course can.

Although Tsuburaya's Ultraman series in the past has always been mainly TV live-action dramas, they have also made animated Ultraman.

The more well-known ones are Ultraman Jonias and the "Ultraman Meao" series.

"Ultraman America" ​​was produced by Tsuburaya and the famous American animation production company Hanna-Barbara. There are three protagonists, namely Ultraman Scott, Ultraman Chuck and Ultraman Bess.

These are the animated versions!
However, although the idea of ​​animation is good, it is very difficult to make money.

Children prefer watching live-action TV series rather than the animated version of Ultraman.

Tsuburaya failed miserably in this regard, so he eventually gave up the animation project.

But Gui Yewu didn't care about these.

His purpose in making the animated version was not to make money, but to train the newly established animation department.

In Japan, animation and comics have always been an important part of the entertainment industry. "Otaku culture" is also one of Japan's iconic cultures, representing huge interests behind it.

Gui Yewu’s goal is to build an entertainment group with a full industrial chain, so these two factors naturally cannot be ignored.

The development of IP in later generations has become extremely mature, and it can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming, but in this era many things are still in their infancy.

Gui Yewu naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.

There is no doubt that "Ultraman" is a big IP. In addition to the TV series, subsequent derivative development is also crucial.

Peripheral products are one aspect, but IP diversification cannot be abandoned either.

Animation was put on the agenda.

Of course, "Ultraman" is just a test. Onino Takeshi has also prepared two other works, which are the top priority!

One is called,
Crayon Shin-chan

Another one,
It's called,

"Transformers"

……

After animation, the second most popular thing is comics.

Not to mention the profits in this area.

Takeshi Onino thought for a while, summoned his number one hunk, Toru Amuro, told him his decision, and asked him to look for a comics studio to acquire.

Toru Amuro seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a blank expression on his face.

As he handles the triple roles of public security, winery worker, and cattle and horse worker, he no longer has the energy or time to do other jobs.

The main reason is that Gui Yewu’s workload is too heavy, almost more than the police and the winery combined.

But what could he say?

As a qualified slave, I could only agree with tears in my eyes.

Looking at the somewhat desolate back of Amuro Toru, Onino Takeshi smacked his lips.

Now Tomie Kawakami is in charge of Touto TV, and the only person she can use at her command is Toru Amuro.

"We still don't have enough cattle and horses...Brewery guys, please help us and send a few more undercover agents!"

……

A safe house somewhere.

James Blake, the head of the FBI in Tokyo, opened the door and walked in!

He walked quickly to a stern-looking young man in a knitted hat and told him the information he had just received:

"Shuichi, the Metropolitan Police Department's informant sent a message that Gin was indeed arrested by the Investigation Division 1, but he was soon taken away by the public security."

“Those police officers are fake.”

Akai Shuichi said with certainty, shaking his head, "I am too familiar with the style of the organization, they will not leave Gin alone."

He paused, raised his head, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"Compared to this, I'm more interested in knowing who was able to subdue Gin and hand him over to the police!"

James sighed regretfully: "There is no definite news on this yet."

"I really want to see Gin's ugly expression..."

Akai Shuichi sneered, and then changed the subject, "Did Takeshi Onino find out anything? Bourbon must have some hidden agenda by going undercover next to him!"

James shook his head again: "Everything is normal. Onino Takeshi is just an ordinary film director. Apart from his Yakuza origin, the biggest anomaly is that every movie he made was a huge success."

Akai Shuichi fell into silence.

His intuition told him that there must be something wrong. Bourbon would not go undercover as an ordinary supervisor for no reason and even become the protagonist in a movie.

Thinking of the currently popular "New World", Shuichi Akai's mouth twitched.

Is this something a member of an organization should do?
Instead of being a rat in the gutter, they stand in the spotlight openly. They are even more aboveboard than the FBI. It's outrageous.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
If a member of an organization does not commit murder or arson but instead becomes a celebrity, there must be something fishy going on.

Akai Shuichi's heart moved.

Perhaps this will be a breakthrough? "James, list Gui Yewu as an A-level surveillance target!"

James was stunned. He is just a film director. That shouldn’t be the case, right?
However, he has always trusted Akai Shuichi's ability and judgment. Although he was a little hesitant, he finally nodded.

"Oninotake..."

Shuichi Akai chewed on the name silently, his eyes flickering.

……

Toru Amuro acted quickly and selected several suitable comics studios in just two days.

Takeshi Ono looked at the information and finally fixed his sights on one of them, called "Aoyama Studio".

Compared to the other studios, Aoyama Studio is the smallest, and even has only two contracted cartoonists.

It's not the right choice no matter how you look at it.

However, when Takeshi Ono saw the names of the two cartoonists, he made a decision immediately.

Acquisition!

Must acquire!

This is the family. Even after Jesus comes, it won’t change!
Because of the names of those two cartoonists...

One is called,
Qingshan Gangchang.

Another one is called,

Hayao Miyazaki!
Onino Takeshi was not sure whether these two people were isomorphs from another world like Muranishi Toru, but based on these two names, he decided to acquire Aoyama Studio!

"Let's go with this one. Contact the person in charge and express your willingness to acquire the company."

Onino Takeshi instructed Amuro Toru.

He is not worried about not being able to make a successful acquisition.

According to the information, Aoyama Studio has been in debt for many years and its business situation is quite bad. The several comics that are currently being serialized have not made any splash at all, and are almost as bad as Tsuburaya back then.

In this case, his acquisition is like a life-saving straw and the other party will not refuse it.

What's more... there are acquaintances inside.

……

"Director Onino, long time no see."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses came to Onino Eiga and bowed politely to Onino Takeshi.

One can hear a deep sense of emotion in his tone.

Gui Yewu smiled slightly: "Long time no see, Qingshan-san."

The other party was none other than Tsuyoshi Aoyama, whom he had met once in Venice.

Takeshi Ono didn't expect that the other party was actually the legal person and president of Aoyama Studio. When he saw it in the information before, he thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't expect it to be this old friend.

Looking at the man in front of him with a dignified demeanor, who had changed greatly from his impression, Aoyama Tsuyoshi was also filled with emotion.

When we first met that day, he was just a fledgling new director who had just shot his first movie.

Despite his stunning success, he still seems a little immature.

At the beginning, Tsuyoshi Aoyama only respected him, but he never thought that this man could achieve such success today.

After a hasty farewell, when they met again, he had become a famous director who was out of his reach and could be called the number one of the younger generation in the film industry!
He has a prominent status and a great reputation.

But he was still just an ordinary middle-level employee in Toei.

Even his boss's boss, Kenichi Kikuchi, has to be polite when facing Takeshi Ono now, and is even in a weak position.

Qingshan Gang couldn't help but feel that time had passed.

He didn't expect that the two parties would meet again under such circumstances, and he didn't expect that the other party would want to acquire his comics studio.

Although Tsuyoshi Aoyama is a middle-level manager at Toei, he is also the president of Aoyama Studio.

However, his original intention was just to help his disappointing younger brother realize his dream. Now the studio is unable to make ends meet and has become a burden to him.

Therefore, when he learned that Takeshi Ono wanted to acquire the company, he rushed over immediately.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then got down to business.

We only met once and there is nothing to talk about.

"Director Onino, are you really going to acquire Aoyama Studio?" Aoyama Tsuyoshi asked with a little anticipation.

Gui Yewu nodded: "As long as Qingshan Sang is willing to give up."

Qingshan Gang showed a complicated expression, with excitement and hesitation, and asked hesitantly: "Can I ask what you like about my studio? After all, you know..."

Of course, Takeshi Ono knew that Aoyama Studio was a big pit, but if it was really those two great gods, he would be willing to jump into this pit.

Not only did you not suffer any loss, but you made a lot of money.

Of course, the truth could not be told, so Gui Yewu could only make an excuse: "Your studio actually has great potential. I am quite optimistic about it."

Qingshan Gang didn't say anything.

Wouldn't he know what his own studio is like?

But since Gui Ye Wu was unwilling to say, he didn't ask any more questions, but there were some things he still had to ask first: "Director Gui Ye, if I sell the studio to you, how are you going to treat those employees?"

Of course they all stayed!

The reason I bought this piece of junk was because of the people inside.

After hearing Gui Yewu's assurance, Qingshan Gang breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, Qingshan Studio has become a huge burden for him. Not only does it not make any money, but he has to keep putting money into it.

If it weren't for his younger brother, he would have closed down his business long ago.

Now there is a sucker. No, Gui Yewu has a keen eye for talent and has promised to keep everyone. He doesn't have to worry about his brother anymore, which immediately makes him moved.

So after thinking about it, Qingshan Gang made a decision.

"Then I'll leave the studio to you, Director Onino!"
