Chapter 436
Chapter 436
Throughout August, Makoto Takagi was very busy.
It’s not that I’m busy doing animation, but some other things.
On the one hand, the daughter was born. The date of birth was August 16, and Makoto Takagi named it “Yihua”, Takagi Yihua, a flower on a tall tree.
On the other hand, the animation “Your Name” is shown in various places. In some places, Makoto Takagi needs to promote it himself, and it needs to fly all over the world.
In addition, there are also some animation festivals and film festivals, which also require Makoto Takagi to participate in personally, and often need to turn around.
There is also a commemorative event for the 15th anniversary of the establishment of DOS.
At present, it is only determined to release a remake of “Heartbeat House”, but this kind of thing is not to make an announcement, make the animation, and then sell it and it will be finished. It is not that simple.
The remake of “Heartbeat House” is just one of the most critical things, and other aspects have to be planned well.
Although most of the planning was done by the people in the Uchida area, Takagi Makoto, as the president of DOS, couldn’t be the shopkeeper. Some of them still need him to look at them personally, even need him to think, and he needs to make decisions.
In short, there are many things.
It wasn’t until the end of August that he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, just can breathe a sigh of relief, not everything is finished.
Friday, August 31.
Inside the DOS president’s office.
Makoto Takagi drank the wolfberry water and watched the plan that Uchida Chongichi submitted to him.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
He quickly closed the lid of the thermos cup, tightened it, and then looked at the door.
Two people stood at the door, one was Akino Kawano, and the other was Katsuhiro Ishida, the producer of Yuan Guan.
“President Takagi, I’m really sorry to bother you,” Ishida Katsuhiro said to Makoto Takagi apologetically.
Makoto Takagi was puzzled, and glanced at Kawano Akino, but Kawano Akino only returned a helpless look.
I don’t know what happened to the two of them this time, but Makoto Takagi got up to greet each other, asked them to sit down, and greeted them for tea.
It is obviously Ishida Katsuhiro who is looking for Makoto Takagi, and Akino Kawano should be just a lead or middleman.
It is also possible that Ishida Katsuhiro was the first Kawano Akino who wanted to discuss with Kawano Akino about Takagi Makoto, but Kawano Akino couldn’t agree, so he brought him directly to Takagi Makoto.
Anyway, after sitting down, Akino Kawano didn’t say a word, but Katsuhiro Ishida talked a lot, and kept talking about how well and how powerful the animation “Your Name” is overseas, as if forgotten. When Takagi Makoto said that “Your Name” might surpass the record-breaking “Children of the Sea”, his yin and yang look weird.
Although Makoto Takagi remembered what happened at the time, he didn’t look like Katsuhiro Ishida at the time, nor did he reveal what happened at the time.
He just talked to Ishida Katsuhiro in an ordinary way, waiting for Ishida Katsuhiro to say his true intentions.
Ishida Katsuhiro said for a while, probably because he felt that the paving was almost enough, and finally entered the topic: “President Takagi, after you finished “Your Name”, you really don’t do animation anymore?”
Takagi Makoto was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Kawano Akino again, and seeing Kawano nodding, he knew Ishida Katsuhiro’s intentions.
I want to persuade him to continue doing animation.
Kawano Akino said at the beginning that some people wanted to make Makoto Takagi the No. 2 Yamazaki Gaoming. Let him think about it. The “some people” here include people from Yuanguan and TV Tokyo.
Takagi Makoto did consider it, but he did not agree to that project. The reason was clearly stated, and he decided to seal the pen after finishing “Your Name.”
At that time, Yuan Guan’s reply was “a bit of a pity”, but he didn’t say much. The TV station meant that, no matter whether he wanted to close his pen or not, he wanted to make a show about him anyway and asked him if he could cooperate. , He said it’s okay, that’s why there was the interview later.
Originally, he thought that this incident would have passed, but now it seems that the performance of “Your Name” overseas has stimulated Yuan Guan people. Yuan Guan suddenly didn’t want to give up, so he asked Ishida Katsuhiro to come over. Persuaded, I hope he can continue to do animation.
It should be such a thing.
As his thoughts turned, he said, “Stop animation, I have already decided, because I can’t make an animation that surpasses “Your Name” anyway.”
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t surpass it. As long as you continue the style of “Your Name”, come with another “Love + Japanese Light Fantasy”, crowned with your name, then it will definitely be another 10 billion box office animation movie, and there will be “You The reputation and foundation laid by “The Name” will be recognized by some foreign audiences. Even if the overseas box office can’t reach new highs, they can still make a lot of money.” Ishida Katsuhiro persuaded.
Takagi Makoto shook his head slightly and said nothing.
In fact, Ishida Katsuhiro was right.
Just like Makoto Shinkai in another world, after “Your Name”, a “Children of the Weather” was released, the same style, the same “love + Japanese light fantasy”, and it was easily topped in the box office of the island country. 100 million.
In countries and regions other than island countries, the box office of this animation is far from that of “Your Name”, not to mention new highs, but it can still make a lot of money.
In the final analysis, this is the same as the great god of some online novels. After a work has exploded, it will continue to produce works of the same style, even if the quality is slightly lower, there will be a large number of people supporting it.
New work on the street? That can only show that the godhead is not strong enough, and that the previous work is not hot enough.
Like the current Takagi Makoto, with “Your Name” as the foundation, it is really not difficult to make a few big profits next.
However, Takagi Makoto thought he was still pursuing.
Instead of continuing to do animation and going downhill until one day you lose your popularity, it is better to stop at this time and the rapids to retreat bravely.
Naturally, Ishida Katsuhiro would not know what Takagi was thinking in his heart. He secretly felt troubled, and asked, “Does President Takagi have different opinions?”
“No, you are right.”
Takagi Makoto responded: “Indeed, as long as you continue the style of “Your Name”, you will be able to make a fortune or even several pennies in the future. However, I don’t take money seriously, since I have identified “Your Name”. It will be my peak, so exiting at this time is the most suitable choice.”
After a pause, he said: “Compared to continuing to do animation, I personally prefer to cultivate talents within DOS. I hope that in the future DOS will have several tens of billions of box office supervisors instead of just me as a tens of billions box office supervisor. It also makes more sense, doesn’t it?”
Ishida Katsuhiro was taken aback for a moment, looked at Takagi Makoto, and then at Kawano Akino, and suddenly I didn’t know what to say about what to persuade later.
If there are really a few more tens of billions of box office supervisors, it is indeed a more meaningful thing.
The question is, is it so easy to cultivate tens of billions of box office supervision?
Can Takagi Makoto really do it?
He thought it was impossible, even if Takagi Makoto was so good, he couldn’t do it.
However, he can’t directly say that this is impossible, or that Gao Mucheng is whimsical, even if he does think so in his heart.
This is a headache.
