Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 301 The Mysterious Potters

   ""Bird of Fire" to be animated?"

   The influence that Chiyan Xinshui does not understand is the most understood by the comics and animation industries.

In the free creative space of   dimensional culture, Takehiko Inoue, who was chatting in the rest area, looked at the newly delivered newspaper and said dumbly, "Amazing..."

"The production cost of a single episode is 40 million yen!" Naoko Takeuchi, who likes to come here for a walk, said longingly, "It's worth spending so much money. If it's not enough, I don't know if I can ask my father to give me some money. Also let my name appear in the thank you list at the end of the credits!"

   Inoue Takehiko gave her a shy look.

   Not only has a very strong manga talent, but his family is also rich and cute... Inoue Takehiko is a little inferior.

   "Sakura." Naoko Takeuchi turned to ask Fujiwara Sakura, "Ask the president, what is this production committee, can I go to work part-time? I can pay a little for the production fee."

  "..." Fujiwara Sakura replied dumbly, "This, how can I ask...Miss Naoko, I can tell your editor that you are here..."

   "No!" Naoko Takeuchi waved his hand quickly, "Let me rest. If she comes, she will urge me to go back to painting again."

   Inoue Takehiko silently put down the newspaper, stood up and bowed: "I'm sorry, I'm going to work."

"Inoue-kun is working very hard." Someone sighed, "However, I didn't expect Dimensional Culture to get the permission of Tezuka-sensei, and such a huge investment... So, the plan I said before is serious. Everyone's Is it possible to have such an opportunity in the future?”

   "So Inoue-kun started to work." Another person also stood up, his voice was lazy but said with emotion, "If you want to have that kind of opportunity, you still need the work to be successful first. I also went back to my room."

   "...Eh?" Naoko Takeuchi watched these young people of the same age go back one by one, and stayed in a daze, so he turned to look at Fujiwara Sakura, "...Everyone, are you working so hard?"

  Fujiwara Sakura has a cheerful personality and dares to say: "Miss Naoko, everyone needs to succeed in order to make money. Everyone's mentality may not be the same as yours."

   Takeuchi Naoko looked at the empty rest area, blinked and said, "Forget it, then I'll go back to work. Sakura, remember to call me when there is an event next time!"

"…Yes."

  Fujiwara Sakura thought about such an event, I'm afraid I won't call you.

   She also overheard their talk here later, only to know that the president and the president have gone out with the creators here not long ago. The place I went to was actually a dance hall, or a dance hall with girls who accompany drinks.

  What kind of style do you take when you go to that kind of place?

   However, the president should have special considerations. Today's news seems to have brought a lot of shock to everyone.

   Not only here, many people are talking about it.

   In particular, the manga industry is discussing another thing: because he wants to participate in the creation of the animation of the "Fire Bird" series, Tezuka Osamu will not participate in Shueisha's next Tezuka-san judging.

  In the cluttered room, a young man was very embarrassed when he saw that he had just finished his creation and was ready to challenge Tezuka-san's work.

  If Tezuka-sensei doesn't participate in the judging, even if he wins the award, he won't be able to see him, right?

   On the contrary, Mr. Tezuka seems to be closer to the dimensional culture to which the "Comics Dimension", which has not yet been published, belongs to.

   The Dimension Rewards over there seems to be a higher prize.

  Would you like to try over there?

   After thinking about it, he began to look for his magazines and newspapers from the messy room, and finally found the newspaper that published the Dimension Prize news.

   wrote the e-mail address of the submission on a large envelope, and he wrote his name in the signature.

  Fujian Yibo.

  …

   "Brother! Even that dimensional culture has created their light novel library and manga magazine. Since you admire him so much, why do you think I am fooling around?"

The head of Kadokawa Bookstore, Kadokawa Haruki, looked at his younger brother Kadokawa Liyan, frowned and said, "What I admire about him is his pursuit of art and the courage to challenge the "Bird of Fire" that we have not done well! The main new direction of our bookstore now is movies. Comics, animation... I have used this experience to become more convinced that it is only a new hobby of young people. How can young people understand the connotation and artistry of literary works?"

   "Then why are you still participating in his project?" Kadokawa Akihiko didn't understand his logic very well, and while he despised manga animation, he also participated in other people's animation projects.

"That's because he is doing development!" Haruki Kadokawa said, "He said that using the late night time to exclude children is to open up the adult market in the form of animation. This kind of development is worth supporting, not to mention, He invested a sum of money in our bookstore to support my Kadokawa Films. As the first club to produce "Bird of Fire" OVA, it is normal for me to take part in this project with only a small amount of funds."

Kadokawa Akihiko sighed: "Now the business of the bookstore has come to a standstill, and our competitiveness is weakening day by day. Brother, I support you in developing a new direction of movies, but in the publishing industry, now is really the gold of comics. Times! And, a new generation of young people has grown up, and reading tastes are changing. The Sneaker library I am hosting, and the mediaoffice, give me more support and let me try it!"

"Shut up!" Kadokawa Haruki looked very unhappy, "Our Kadokawa Bookstore is based on classic literature to gain a firm foothold in the wave of culture and education. After I took over, it was not because of serious novels like 'Henggou Zhengshi' that let me Has Kadokawa Shoten become a leader in the highly competitive publishing industry? What kind of literary works are you talking about light novels? Shifting the direction of publishing to the light novels and manga you said will only gradually lose Kadokawa Shoten's reputation. "

   Kadokawa Lihiko was very tired and came again.

Haruki Kadokawa gushed endlessly: "On the contrary, the form of movies can bring new vitality to classic literary works. Compared with the artistic communication power of movies, what are mediocre comics and light novels? You also know that competition is becoming more and more fierce now. Intense, Kadokawa Films has been pioneering in the film field for ten years, this time with new funds, it is time for us to harvest. Wait and see, the dual influence of literature and film will allow our Kadokawa Bunko to gain Unprecedented attention!"

"...Dimensional culture attaches great importance to light novels and comics, brother, if you don't agree with what I said, but that Tao Dalang also judged it, can't you let me try it? I don't need much, only 50 million yen! "

   If the bookstore hadn’t received an additional investment of 1 billion yen this time, Kadokawa Akihiko would not have said this.

   But now it only needs one-twentieth of the funds. Let yourself try it out, and it can be regarded as a new development for the ancestral business. Kadokawa Arihiko didn't understand why his brother just didn't want to.

"Li Yan! My brother is developing in the direction of movies. You should help me manage the bookstore operation and the mature business of publishing. How can this kind of development be carried out in two different directions at the same time? You said that Tao Dalang is also Judging like this, then I ask you, do you have his deep pockets? He has the financial foundation to challenge Shueisha, Shogakukan, and Kodansha's position in the field of manga, how about you?"

   Kadokawa Lihiko was speechless and unwilling.

   The truth is this, but of course this is a long process, so you can't fall behind, and you have to start accumulating bit by bit from now on.

  The two brothers broke up again.

   Kadokawa Akihiko also doesn't know how to face the aggressive Mediaoffice colleagues. When they heard about the new investment the bookstore had just received, they thought that by virtue of their boss' status as the president's younger brother, they could at least get a considerable amount of financial support.

   But still nothing, enthusiasm will be wiped out, right?

  What should I do?

  …

  Tao Zhiming looked at Jiu Mina Maehara and asked in surprise, "Tao Yaren? Dentsu?"

   Maehara Mina replied seriously: "Yes, that's what the other party said, I hope to meet you."

   Tao Zhiming frowned and thought, not because of Dentsu's active contact. After buying the late-night time slot of Niandongshi and sponsoring two variety shows, Dimensional Culture has a certain right to speak in several time slots of TV Tokyo. Moreover, as the new shareholder of TV Tokyo, Sanyu Bank can also cause trouble for Dentsu if it exerts pressure on TV Tokyo's advertising cooperation in the coming year.

   Dentsu took the initiative to contact him to establish a good relationship, which is normal from the perspective of commercial interests.

   What he wondered was this Taoya man.

  Why is his surname Tao too?

   "Did the other party say, what position does this Taoya person hold?"

   "I asked, and it was a director of Dentsu."

   "Is it just a director?" Tao Zhiming smiled, "I thought it would be someone at the level of the president who would contact us."

   After thinking about it, he said: "Reply to the other party, and make an appointment."

After    Maehara Mina went out, he called Kinoshita Xiufeng: "Brother Xiufeng, is there anyone named Tao among the directors of Dentsu?"

   "Don't you know?" Kinoshita Xiufeng looked surprised, and then said, "Do you remember what Hiroshi Omiya said about the 'great potter's house' when Mogami Kekakucho held a press conference?"

   "... Since then, there have been a lot of things, so I didn't pay attention. I haven't seen anyone named Tao in the list of major shareholders of Dentsu." Tao Zhiming said truthfully.

   "What happened, is there a conflict with the Tao family?" Kinoshita Xiufeng's tone was very solemn.

   "No, there is a person named Tao Yaren from Dentsu who contacted me and said that he would like to meet me on behalf of Dentsu and discuss cooperation matters."

Kinoshita Xiufeng paused for a moment: "Well, let's meet at your dance hall at night. I'll call the guy from Shang Anzhai, and you can invite Ueda-kun too. The Tao family...is a deeply hidden person with a very complicated background. family."

  Tao Zhiming listened to him and even mentioned Ueda Masahiro, inexplicably thinking of the surprised "Tao?"

   From the looks of it, I'm afraid it's not that his surname looks like a descendant of the Xia Kingdom, but the Tao family.

   He was really curious for a moment.

   The great pottery family, where is the greatness?

  …

   In the evening, Ueda Masahiro was the first to come.

   He also brought two young men, a man and a woman.

   "Ogata Toshio, Ohara Sayuki." Ueda Masahiro introduced Tao Zhiming, and then said to the two, "In the future, you can listen to Tao Jun's arrangement."

   "Yes, Lord Ueda." After the two finished speaking, they bowed to Tao Zhiming, "First meeting, Lord President."

Tao Zhiming looked at them and knew that this was a master that Ueda Masahiro helped him find, and said happily: "Don't be restrained. We'll get to know each other well tomorrow. Yuta, take them to play in the ballroom first, familiar with them. Take a look at the environment here."

  Irie Yuta saw some calm and powerful postures from them after seeing the two.

   He nodded and said to the two, "Please come with me."

   "Please advise."

  Tao Zhiming watched them leave, smiled and said to Ueda Masahiro: "One man and one woman, very thoughtful."

   Ueda Masahiro glanced at him: "Xana's own skills are okay, but I guess you will need it in the future, so I also found a girl."

  Tao Zhiming bowed sincerely and thanked: "Master is really a gentleman with an open mind!"

   "So remember your promise, you can't hurt Shana in the future!" Ueda Masahiro was also helpless.

  Stupid daughter likes this, what can I do? Besides, the world is like this, and people's hearts are not ancient... Most of these powerful people have many women.

   Ueda Masahiro felt depressed, so he had to talk about other topics: "Why did you call me here today? I'm very careful, haven't Ansai-kun and Kinoshita-kun come yet?"

   "About the Tao family." Tao Zhiming said directly.

   Ueda Masahiro really turned pale: "That pottery family?"

"I don't know about the Tao family. Today, Dentsu has a director named Tao Yaren, who said that he would like to meet and get to know me and discuss cooperation." Tao Zhiming was a little puzzled, "I checked a lot of information, but there is no information about This information from the Tao family. But Big Brother Xiufeng seems very solemn, saying that he will meet here at night and explain in detail."

   "If it's just about cooperation, it should be fine." Ueda Masahiro looked a little relieved.

   Tao Zhiming couldn't help but ask: "Master, what is the origin of this Tao family?"

   Ueda Masahiro looked at him and said lightly: "If you are really from that Tao family, then whether it is Hiroshi Omiya, Kuranosuke Iwasaki, or Xinshui Akayan now, they will not trouble you."

  Tao Zhiming was stunned: "Those surnamed Tao have such power in Neon?"

   This is really what he didn't expect.

   "The only people who know this pottery family are Neon standing on the upper floors." Ueda Masahiro paused, "Also, I'm afraid everyone knows the pottery family differently."

   "So mysterious?"

  The door was pushed open at this moment, and Anzai Zenwei and Kinoshita Xiufeng came in together.

  Tao Zhiming waited for them to chat, and immediately asked, "Sir Ueda has already told me a little bit, what is the mystery of this Tao family?"

   Kinoshita Xiufeng sat down and looked at Anzhai Shanwei: "You talk first?"

  Anzhai Shanwei nodded, took a sip of wine first, and then slowly said: "The Tao family, strictly speaking, should not be a family, but an organization."

   "Organization?" Tao Zhiming was completely dizzy.

  Anzhai Shanwei showed a bit of disdain at the corner of his mouth, but also a little solemn and even jealous: "Tao, what is the pronunciation in neon language?"

  Tao Zhiming thought to himself, didn't you ask this knowingly? I've had fun too.

   Then his heart moved, his eyes dignified, and he asked, "This organization is an American organization?"

  The three looked at each other, then nodded together: "From what they've done, yes!"

   Tao Zhiming was shocked.

  The American country guy is really not particular, does the organization that has exercised some will in front of the big people by neon actually calls itself "Dad's house" so sarcastically?

   He never imagined that this pottery family was of such a nature.

   Then he thought of Kitagawa.

   Could it be that this guy has been dormant for so long, and Kondo Masahiko has also disappeared from the media for so long, and now the real backstop is coming.

   Throwing stones to ask for directions, knocked out a great guy.

  What does the comer mean?
