I'm almost a Muggle

Masato Harada was speechless.

Are young people nowadays so quick-witted?

How should I reply to you? Do I call myself Osaka Dehuo? I am so old that I am not as shameless as you?

"Du San, this time I came to Neon, I heard that I was here to invest?"

He chose to go straight to the point.

"Yes, our cat factory will eventually come out of China, and Neon is so close." Du Qixi was much more polite after all, facing a 68-year-old senior.

"Why choose us? There is a broader market for animated movies in Neon," said Masato Harada.

"That is, when Neon is wider, it is still a niche after all. I personally think that Neon has gained a foothold with the comic-adapted movie, but the path will eventually become narrower and narrower. I miss "Zatou City", although Takeshi Kitano can also watch the version of Takeshi."

But it's just worth watching.

Du Qixi is not a fool. In fact, anyone who talks and is not nonsense has a lot of things in his stomach.

Although sometimes, they learn these things just to be able to talk more easily.

Masato Harada was sad.

Whenever people mention neon movies, they will naturally think of many symbols they created, such as swords and halberds, monsters, and special photographic heroes. They not only represent the neon movie culture, but also are also sent to the whole world. Today, they are often used and paid tribute to various movies.

The classic films that Neon has had an impact on the global film market were produced in the 1960s and 1970s.

This is also called the Golden Age of Neon Film by Neon Filmers.

Unfortunately, it is gone forever due to the impact of the Great Depression.

In some aspects, they are even rubbed by sticks in place.

"The times are developing, and animated movies are not bad either." Masato Harada was excited.

"After 2014, Ghibli has no new works." Du Qixi said regretfully.

However, China's "The Monkey is Back" has created 980 million Chinese coins, or 15.5 billion yen.

That's right, this guy is here to disgust Neon people.

I just want to pretend to be in front of you.

Break down your so-called pride.

The most important thing is that I also wore an investor's coat.

You can't hit me.

Masato Harada is about to vomit blood.

In August 2014, Studio Ghibli, a famous Neon animation film company, announced the disbandment of its production department. As soon as the news came out, many fans were extremely sad.

But in fact, this incident has a greater impact on the entire neon animation film industry.

Miyazaki gave Neon animation movies confidence, and Miyazaki promoted the development of Neon animation movies. Because of this, the disbandment of the Ghibli production department seemed so bad.

"This is a very realistic question, but it doesn't have much to do with Toussen, right?"

Seeing that he didn't invest in himself and was still sarcastic, Neon people began to roll up their sleeves.

"It really doesn't matter much. What I want to say is that you can hand over all the project books to me, and then I will choose some to invest, so I can help you." Du Qixi is confident in his own eyes...

The script he chose will surely make money.

And he hopes to sell Chinese movies throughout Asia and cultural output starts at the doorstep of his home.

This is not impossible.

Although Neon's overall economy has always been among the best in the world, its investment in the film industry is obviously much worse than before.

As a simple example, Hollywood Disney has always been famous for attaching importance to scripts. Every movie requires a famous script writer to spend $1-2 million to create scripts.

But in Neon, even a veteran script writer, his script can only be sold for 20 million yen, which is almost 200,000 US dollars.

Such a huge gap has also made young people with less and less neons willing to devote themselves to script creation. Even if they aspire to be a screenwriter, they will try their best to go to Hollywood.

After all, when it comes to making money, you always vote with your feet for life.

A market that has been quadratic and a cultural blank area gradually formed.

In the past, you all exported us.

Why can't I output it back?

Perhaps Du Qixi's idea is a bit naive, or maybe it is not the case to be implemented at all, but this person now has this idea and strength.

"Aren't you afraid of losing money?" asked Masato Harada.

"We invested 400 million in the movie "Shan Hai", and other peripheral developments such as other games, and combined to exceed 1 billion in Huaxia coins," Du Qixi smiled: "In addition to the box office sales, our "Shan Hai" PC games, web games, and mobile games were launched simultaneously. The number of online users exceeded 730,000 on the first day, and the total recharge flow exceeded 100 million."

A modern Chinese whom they have never admired in terms of culture.

Whether it is a movie or a game, they are not worthy of it.

Now, they are slapping their face with data.

They know that "Shan Hai" ranks first in their box office, and most people also understand what it means for a new game to have more than 700,000 yuan online per day and more than 100 million yuan.

Masato Harada really regrets coming to attend the party that was Koreedo Yukata, and this is not where he should come.

He is already old.

You can completely retire to the countryside and live a life similar to "Little Forest".

Why do you have to see what Du Qixi, who threatened to invest in Neon Movies, looks like?

"I like Takuya Kimura very much. I feel so kind as my brother. I wonder if I can work together in this movie?" Du Qixi asked.

He observed for so long and found that although this place was a gathering of Yuka Koreedo, the real person should be Masato Harada.

Even Yukazu Koreeda respects him very much.

This is also an easy thing to understand. These new generation directors have probably been influenced by this old senior and even given instructions in person.

These "trash" directors looked at Masato Harada.

Wait for him to show his attitude.

It was leaving with a slightest sleeve.

Still happily accept investment from China.

In today's occasion, Harada Shinto represents the barriers of neon live-action movies. Once broken, any investment is easy to say.

Even those who disdain to be present will be shaken.

Indeed, although pillar-type figures such as Kurosawa Akira Ozu, Kenji Mizuguchi, Nagisa Oshima, and Masaki Kobayashi have all passed away, it is not the turn of Masato Harada to represent Neon.

After all, there are still Takeshi Kitano, Shunji Iwai, and Yukiki Mitani, and Tetsuya Nakajima... Well, because the movie "Confession" is well known to Chinese people, he is not a rising star.

Neon some masters who have passed away and those who have lived, but lack future masters.

It may be Hirokazu Koreedo, but his style is actually changing, moving more and more towards Hollywood.

After all the calculations, Harada Masato is more or less a heavyweight figure.

Such a heavyweight figure plays a role not as a representative, but as an example.

His attitude will affect how others choose.

Otherwise, the movies that Du Qixi can invest in will be limited to directors like Shinichiro Ueda who live by picking up trash.

Neon produces twice as many movies every year than China, and most of them are in the form of family workshops.

There are also those films that are worse than the "Don't Stop the Camera!" in Ueda Shinichiro.

Guo Jia has this thing.

"Thank you for your kindness," Harada Masato looked at the eyes of the people around him and sighed: "That's so thankful."

Choice always comes with pros and cons.

But Neon's movies really can't continue to develop like this, especially after the disbandment of the Ghibli production department.

The neon animation film industry can no longer give investors confidence, and the entire animation film industry has returned to a state of only 100 million or 200 million yen.

In recent years, most of Neon's animated films have been made immediately after TV animation became popular, and they immediately made a movie version to make money by making popularity.

Even for a single and independent animated film project, looking at many pictures is even worse than that of some animations from the 1990s, it is a reflection of the sudden cost reduction.

It is difficult to say whether Shinkai can carry the banner of Hayao Miyazaki's successor.

So what if you carry it? It’s just another cycle of reincarnation.

Animated movies are still lingering, let alone live-action movies.

Choosing to accept China Capital may be a way out for them. As for the subsequent infamy and criticism, is it more important than survival?

"This is definitely the biggest gain for me to come here." Du Qixi laughed.

Masato Harada didn't even dare to do it.

Afterwards, he left the scene on the grounds of physical discomfort, and Du Qixi became the protagonist of the scene and took away a lot of project books.

There is indeed nothing in this world that money cannot do.

If so, it means you are not rich enough.

Du Qixi did not choose to invest too much in the first issue. The only ones confirmed on the spot were Yukazu Koreedo's "The Thieves' Family", Shinichiro Tian's "Don't Stop the Camera!", and Masato Harada's "The Sinner of the Prosecutor".

Du Qixi even saw projects reflecting on war in the project book.

Neon Man's scripts, Neon Man actors, and films made by Neon Man will have a very exciting impact if they are released to the whole world.

He was very fond of his preference, but Du Qixi finally chose to temporarily seal it up and eat it bite by bit.

Cultural output is not cultural shelling, but it is a long-term flow, otherwise it will easily collapse.

In addition to Yukata Koreedo, Du Qixi also went to see Makoto Shinkai.

With the hope of the whole movie of neon, Shinkai Makoto must be still tired. If the pressure is too high, come to your father's side, and your father won't put pressure on you.

Makoto Shinkai is really tired of vomiting blood.

Don't look at Shinkai Makoto's appearance as a bit slutty.

They are very popular now.

He used to have a nickname called Wallpaper Madman. Even if you haven't seen his animation, you must have used his screensaver.

Now, Makoto Shinkai has a new title called "Director Ten Billion".

Well, it's the 10 billion yen.

"Your Name" has a box office of 25.03 billion, which is only 15.6 billion Chinese coins.

But this is already very amazing in Neon.

"Your Name" has become a neon film that finally exceeded 20 billion yen in the past 15 years after "Spirited Away".

Successfully breaking through to the top three Japanese box offices that Hayao Miyazaki has occupied for many years. You should know that the previous top three are Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", Hayao Miyazaki's "Hal's Moving Castle", and Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Ghost".

One is a jujube tree and the other is also a jujube tree.

"Your Name" successfully defeated "Princess Ghost" and defeated "Hal's Moving Castle", ranking second in the box office of Neon movies.

This anime director who was born in a rich second generation finally became a big shot.

By the way, Mako Shinkai is the son of the president of the Shinzu Group of the Centennial Construction Company, Hayao Miyazaki is the young master of the military aircraft factory, and Naoko Takeuchi who painted "Sailor Moon" is actually the daughter of the jewelry family, and she also married the old thief Toshika.

This rich second-generation and successful director has no airs of a big director.

He even invited Du Qixi directly to his home.

He also arranged for his wife and daughter to meet Du Qixi, just like receiving his beloved relatives, friends and brothers.

After all, Du Qixi is also a big director, and Du Qixi's box office results are only much higher than those of Shinkai Cheng.

More importantly, "Your Name" sold more than 9 billion yen at the box office of China.

China's box office is sixteen times that of North America!

It is obvious that China is the future market that he should pay attention to the most.

This makes it easy to understand why he wanted to get along with Du Qixi, and he wanted to immediately turn into a relationship with his wife and children.

Du Qixi's visit to Shinkai Makoto is also very simple.

On the one hand, in the future cooperation, the cat factory can participate in investment and is not so concerned about box office results.

On the other hand, it is for the exchange of talents.

Although Chinese animation has also developed, it is far behind Neon.

It’s not about how big the gap is in the painter. This thing is manual labor and is the most technical thing.

Among many Neon's classic works, there are actually many Chinese painters' efforts.

What Du Qixi needs is an integration from production model to business model and related industries.

In this regard, Shinkai Makoto can provide good advice.

You can also introduce some relevant talents.

The animation of the Cat Factory has never been able to open up. It is not too embarrassing to learn from Neon and absorb some essence.

In this way, "The Monkey is Back" will not be just a one-time deal like it is now.

Depth and breadth can be fully developed.

Of course, Du Qixi believes that the fastest step is to jointly produce Cat Factory and ixWaveFilms where Shinkai Makoto is located.

Let's make an animated movie together.

Spend people and money together.

Everyone worked together during the entire production process.

While working together, learn the most core things in Neon.

This kind of learning is more meaningful than any expert's analysis.

Makoto Shinkai did not particularly object to this and said he could do his best to help. After all, the Chinese film market behind the person in front of him is really tempting.

Even if you develop a strong opponent, you will be willing to do anything.

After all, people live in the present.

Du Qixi's neon trip was a great victory, and what welcomed him back to China was the box office of "Shan Hai" on the second day of the box office of 225 million.

The box office on the first day was 3.1 and the next day was 2.25. It seemed that it was a big drop, but it was not.

May 1st is a holiday, which is equivalent to a weekend, but May 2nd has to go to work. It is already a very strong result to be able to maintain a single-day box office of more than 200 million against the trend.

The most important thing is that "Shan Hai 1" has a good reputation.

The picture and special effects are particularly praised. Compared with "New Shushan", the only difference is the plot.

The plot is relatively simple.

But fortunately, it is smooth and simple, which is not a huge flaw for a commercial film.

At most, it's just a few words from the film critics.

Even Boss Lin, who was planning to be a turtle, couldn't stop hiding. Someone always reminded him in his ears how good the movie "Shan Hai" is and how fun the game is.
