Chapter 1045 Chapter 1054, I have plenty of money!!
The first day I stayed at home, I felt very comfortable.
In the morning, my wife and I sleep until we wake up naturally. When we wake up, the nanny prepares a delicious breakfast for us. After eating, we read the newspaper and go out for a walk with the dog. When we come back and chat, it’s time for lunch.
Take a nap at noon, read a book, drink tea, pet the cat, watch TV in the afternoon, and then it's dinner time again.
In the evening, we continue chatting and watching TV until we go to bed. In the last three months, I can’t be intimate with my wife.
The next day, I was still so comfortable, but I occasionally changed the time I spent watching TV to playing handheld games and listening to music.
I felt a little bored on the third day. I stayed in the study for a while in the morning to write the script, and called a friend in the afternoon to chat about the latest news.
On the fourth day, I felt even more bored and a little irritable, so I resumed running in the evening.
On the fifth day.
The weather is getting warmer, and nature has entered the most vibrant season of the year. The courtyard is full of greenery, and the grass in the corners is growing wildly every day.
Even Hibiki and Neonatarou seemed to have sensed the season and started to become more active.
But Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting in the courtyard porch, covered his face with the book and muttered softly:
"so boring."
It’s strange to say, but when he was alone in Yamazakurayuan before, he would read books, drink tea, and watch TV, and he would never feel bored.
But now, even though he has Akina by his side and Mrs. Nonaka Mari to help with chores, and all he needs to do every day is eat, drink and have fun, Naoki Nagayama feels bored.
But Akina wasn't bored at all; instead she was very happy.
After breakfast, I chat with my husband for a while, and then go to the fashion design studio to draw some clothing patterns or make small clothes for the baby.
When I feel tired, I walk around in the yard and smell the flowers in the flowerbed. Then, just like now, I run directly to Naoki Nagayama and cover his eyes:
"Naoki-san, guess who I am?"
"." Feeling the soft hand on his eyes, Naoki Nagayama was a little helpless, "Ah, I can't guess."
With both hands removed, Akina wrapped her arms around Naoki Nagayama's neck and leaned forward, as if she wanted to give him a cross armbar.
"How can this be~~~ Your answer is not sincere at all! Say it again!"
".I need to repeat it again"
Naoki Nagayama became more and more helpless. He turned around, used a little force, hugged Akina in his arms and kissed her randomly.
Looking at his smiling, young and beautiful wife in his arms, who seemed to have no idea what worry was, Naoki Nagayama could not help but sigh,
"Akina herself is like a child, and she's about to have a baby."
"I also learned how to be a mother! I even bought a parenting book!"
Mingcai touched her belly in her arms.
"I can definitely be a good mother!"
Then he grabbed Naoki Nagayama's ear and said, "Naoki-san, you have to be a good father too!"
"Hi hi~"
After talking for a while, Akina seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly ran to the design studio on the other side, as if she suddenly remembered to give her husband a little intimacy in the middle of her work, and then ran away again.
Naoki Nagayama did not continue to enjoy the breeze on the porch, but came to the study.
The script of "Across the World" has been completed and put aside for the time being until the filming is ready. What he is doing now is trying to sort out some animations that have popped up in his mind before.
"Anohana", "A Certain Scientific Railgun", "Attack on Titan". These are the anime fragments that I remembered before, fragmented pictures. Naoyama Naoki originally only recorded the theme songs, but now Idou Shuichi is focusing on the production of animated films, so he also wants to pick up these fragments, maybe they will be useful~
"Why can't I remember the animation of the Dead Fire Sea?"
Naoki Nagayama roughly remembered the plots of these three anime and knew several main characters, but after all, so many years had passed and the images in his mind were very vague.
If you can't recall it, it's useless to just have a story outline.
"How about looking for some inspiration?"
With this idea in mind, Naoki Nagayama immediately drove out and came to the comics store in Akihabara.
Usually the people who come to the comic book shop are teenagers, so the sudden arrival of an adult surprised the owner, and he was even more surprised when he recognized his face.
"Naoki Nagayama is here to buy comics?!"
Naoki Nagayama was strolling through the comics and randomly picked up the latest issue of "Jump" to read.
"Hmm? Dragon Ball."
The familiar name made him dazed for a moment. He hadn't read comics for a long time and didn't know that "Dragon Ball" had already ended with the Piccolo arc.
"Manager-san has bought all of these."
Naoki Nagayama walked to the cashier counter with a large stack of comics of all kinds, making the elementary school students who were reading in the store envious.
"Hi!"
Although the store manager recognized Naoki Nagayama, he did not greet him like a fan. Instead, he seemed a little reserved. Maybe the owner of a comic book store is a bit of a homebody.
"Manager-san, I have a question for you."
"Hey, Nagayama-san, please speak."
"." Having been recognized, Naoki Nagayama paused for a moment, pretending he hadn't noticed anything, "Has the animation of Dragon Ball already been broadcast?"
"Ah, animation?" The store manager thought for a moment, "Yes, Fuji TV. It started broadcasting in February and was completed in April."
"Fuji? In April?"
Naoki Nagayama was surprised again. He was filming Tokyo Love Story during this period and really had no time to pay attention to animation. Besides, no one around him would specifically tell him about animation.
Can you imagine Yoshimura Otomo, who is over 50 years old, chatting mysteriously with Nagayama Naoki:
"Naoki-san, do you know what was shown in the cartoon last night?"
"."
Even Akina is too old to watch anime~
"Manager-san, do you have the complete anime of Dragon Ball?"
"Private Marseille, I don't have it in my store, but the nearby video store should have it."
"Arigado~"
After paying the money, Naoki Nagayama hurried to the video store to buy a complete set of "Dragon Ball" animation.
The owner of the comic book store fell into deep thought as he watched Naoki Nagayama leave:
"Even Naoki Nagayama watches cartoons?"
"No, no, no, it must be for something else! Gifts for my nephews?"
"Is he going to make a cartoon?!"
Even he didn't think that Naoki Nagayama would simply like to watch anime.
In the living room of Yamazakurain, Akina pushed away Inarou who was approaching her, then picked up a comic book, flipped through it casually, and put it down in disappointment. It was not the kind of girls' comics she liked to read.
"Naoki-san, why did you buy so many comics?"
Naoki Nagayama, who was busy beside the projector, put the videotape away, then sat on the sofa with the remote control:
"I saw Dragon Ball before, but I didn't expect it to be animated."
"Dragon Ball, Son Goku." Akina seemed to have seen this animation. "Naoki-san, you don't know it?"
".Even you have seen it?"
"I watched it when I had nothing to do at home, but I stopped watching it after there was nothing good to watch."
Akina likes to watch some music variety shows, and maybe she will like watching "I Love Singing" and the like in the future.
However, as Dragon Ball started playing on the TV screen, Akina sat down with her husband to watch it. Gradually, she began to like this cute, funny and passionate style of painting.
“Bulma is very interesting~” “Hahaha~ The lustful Master Roshi~” “.”
"Shuichi-san, what did you learn about animated films in Toei's animation department?"
On the phone in the evening, Naoki Nagayama asked Shuichi Ido with some curiosity.
I watched "Dragon Ball" for a long time in the afternoon, which aroused Naoki Nagayama's expectations for animated films. Various animated blockbusters he had watched before seemed to be stirring in his mind.
“It’s slow and troublesome.”
Idou Shuichi gave two adjectives:
"Naoki-san, I visited Toei's animation department for a few days and I feel that it takes almost half a year to make an animated film, which is even more time-consuming than making a movie!"
"Well"
There is no way around it. Animated films these days really rely on pictures drawn one by one!
Each frame is a painting. A movie has about 24 frames per second and is usually 90 minutes long, so a total of 12 paintings are needed!
If a movie is to be more refined, then one movie will have to have more than 200,000 paintings!
The Doraemon movie series is better, as the images are simpler and many materials can be used universally.
But such a huge workload can keep an animation studio busy for a whole year!
"It's indeed a bit troublesome," Naoki Nagayama said into the microphone, "So how many people are there in our animation studio now?"
"At the moment, there are about 6 people."
"In that case, let's hire more people!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Since so many cartoonists don't have a job, it would be troublesome to let them create on their own, but it should be okay to let them draw backgrounds and other things in a certain style, right?"
"No," Idou Shuichi retorted, "Manga artists all have different styles of drawing, just like writing, it's difficult to unify them."
“This is also one of the reasons that restrict animation creation.”
“It’s so troublesome.”
Naoki Nagayama felt that it was a luxury for him to see movies like "Spirited Away" in advance.
"So, we need to find a good animation director first. This is different from a cartoonist. The two people that Naoki-san invited before are indeed very talented in painting, but they may not be able to be directors. They may be able to be art directors."
Idou Shuichi is still talking,
"In addition, we need to order special equipment and set up a studio."
"In short, it will take a long time for us to produce an animated film. We have to build a production team from scratch first!"
"."
The more he listened, the more troublesome it became, and Naoki Nagayama became a little distracted.
Then an idea suddenly came to my mind. I am so rich now, why should I build a production team for an animated film from scratch? !
Think about what Tencent did. They just found the relevant companies and bought them out.
"Shuichi-san, which is the most famous animation production company in Japan right now?"
"Eh? It should be Dongbao!"
"Uh" Dongbao can't afford it, "What about the second one?"
"Toei?"
Can't afford it either
"And the third one?"
"It should be made by insects."
"anything else?"
“MADHOUSESUNRISE is an independent company from Mushi Production. It was established in 72.”
"What about the newer ones?"
"There are many, but the two that are independent from Mushi Productions are still the most famous. One is called Pierrot, and the other is called Kyoto Animation, which was established a few years ago."
Naoki Nagayama felt a little emotional when he heard the familiar names. Jokeritsu and Kyoto Animation are both well-known animation production companies in later generations!
And almost all of them are related to Chong Productions, and they are all former employees who have gone out to become independent. It seems that Chong Productions is the Huangpu Military Academy of the Japanese animation industry!
"Shuichi-san, please help contact Pierrot and Kyoto Animation during this time."
Idou Shuichi on the microphone was a little surprised:
"Contact them for what?"
"Let's contact them to discuss the acquisition." Naoki Nagayama said, "If the acquisition doesn't work, we can buy shares."
"Naoki-san, you're going to buy an animation studio!"
Idou Shuichi reacted immediately.
"But isn't this just giving them money for nothing?"
Obviously you can build it yourself, it doesn't cost much. Cartoonists are everywhere, it doesn't cost much, it just takes time to get used to it and get trained.
"It doesn't matter, I have plenty of money!!!"
Naoki Nagayama finally felt the satisfaction that rich people felt when they said this. How inhumane!
"."
After a moment of silence, Yitang Xiuyi asked in a low voice:
"Naoki-san, you've been at home these days and have nothing to do, so you want to throw the money out, right?"
“Well, I’m a bit free.”
"Then throw the money to me! Throw it to me! I don't have any money!"
Naoki Nagayama was helpless: ".Shuichi-san, you are a billionaire after all, can you please stop being so shameless!!"
"I don't. If I can get Naoki-san to throw the money to me by not giving up face, I would rather not give up face!!"
What the two said sounded like a manzai, and Akina, who was eavesdropping nearby, covered her mouth and laughed.
In the end, Naoki Nagayama had to interrupt Idou Shuichi's unreasonable behavior:
"Xiuyi-san, now that we have the capital, we must learn to do what the big guys in capital would do! Spending money to buy time is a very cost-effective business."
"Anyway, you can contact these two companies recently."
Naoki Nagayama paused.
"Then spread the word that Shuyou was going to enter the animation industry and was in urgent need of high-quality talents."
"Naoki-san, given our current status, if this gets out, it's no joke!"
Shuichi Idou reminded that given Shuyou's current status in the entertainment industry, what he said might even cause the animation company's stock to fluctuate.
If Naoki Nagayama spoke in person, it would even cause a wave of heat in the animation industry~
"Yeah~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "I'm serious this time!"
"OK then"
After talking for a while, Shuichi Idou hung up the phone.
