161 The grievances of the two great gods
"Everyone, what are you talking about? It seems very lively." The man with a big back head asked as he was familiar with it.
"We do not welcome uninvited guests." Haruo Hiroshi said with a cold face.
The man with a big back smiled, looked at Qin Han, and stretched out his hand: "This is Teacher Qin Han, I have long admired your name. When I saw you today, I was really young and promising. If your work is to be changed into animation in the future, we may have the opportunity to cooperate."
"You are..." Qin Han stretched out his hand and shook with the other party.
"In Shimookada Hiroshita, the general manager of Okawa Production Studio, a subsidiary of Toei Animation." The man with a big back said proudly.
"Good luck to meet," Qin Han said politely.
Hiro Okada also said: "I was also a member of the Immortal Production back then. I was born at the same time as Maruyama Sang and Wakao Sang. After the Immortal Production went bankrupt, I entered Toei, and you all have gained a foothold in the animation industry. It's really gratifying. Especially Brother Wakao, now I can finally be qualified to produce animation independently, which is extremely gratifying."
As the saying goes, you don’t hit people with a smile. When Hiroshi Wakao saw Hiro Okada saying good things with a smile, it was not easy to get angry, so he just nodded stiffly.
Qin and Han saw that the relationship between the two sides was not harmonious, so they didn't say anything, just observed quietly.
"I just heard you are going to create a magic girl-themed animation?" asked Hiro Okada.
"Yes, so what?"
"What a coincidence. I've also been preparing to make a magic girl-themed animation recently." Hiro Okada smiled, his expression on his face half proud and half ironic.
He pointed to Naoko Takeuchi in the distance: "We Toei have already negotiated with Miss Takeuchi and successfully obtained the animation adaptation license for "Sailor Moon". If everyone started working at the same time, maybe Shaft's magical girl animation will be released in the same period as "Sailor Moon". I'm really looking forward to it. I hope Shaft can hold on and don't lose too badly, haha!"
"You..." Seeing that Hiro Okada was so arrogant and looked down on his company, Hiroshi Wakao turned pale with anger.
Masao Maruyama next to him quickly grabbed him, fearing that his friends would not be able to help but move, and it would be difficult to deal with it.
Hiro Okada glanced at Hiroshi Wakao with contempt.
In his opinion, this former colleague of the worm production is not doing well now. The animation company he founded can only take on the rough work of outsourcing and coloring, which is at the bottom of the animation industry chain. Coupled with some grievances and grievances back then, Hiro Okada couldn't help but come over and laugh at him.
Hiro Okada looked at Qin Han again: "Teacher Qin Han, your talent for drawing comics is indeed amazing, but your vision is not very good. If you cooperate with Shaft, you can't get any excellent animations. It's better to get out as soon as possible, so as not to create a garbage work and ruin your reputation by then."
"Thank you for your advice, but I know what I am doing and don't need others to teach you. Mr. Okada should take good care of himself first." Qin Han said.
"Okay, I hope you don't regret it. We Toei are still looking forward to working with you." Hiro Okada smiled and left.
At this time, Umetsu Taichen, who had been holding it in for a long time, asked, "Maruyama Sang, what's going on with Hiro Okada? Why are you so annoying?"
Masao Maruyama sighed: "It's all the grudges that have been formed in the past."
Hiro Okada is a popular person, but he doesn't do much practical things. When he was still making insects, many people didn't like his style and privately called Hiro Okada a "Indian in Japanese skin."
At that time, Hiroshi Okada, Hiroshi Wakao, Masao Maruyama and others had only personal grudges. However, after the worm production went bankrupt, this disagreement gradually intensified.
The fuse comes from two great masters in the Japanese animation world, Hayao Miyazaki and Osamu Tezuka.
Miyazaki Hayao also worked in the production of insects. The conflict between him and Osamu Tezuka mainly stems from the dispute over social positions and ideas.
In his previous life, Hayao Miyazaki was a staunch leftist and shister, and he also served as the guild secretary and paid great attention to labor interests.
In order to promote animation on TV, Osamu Tezuka greatly reduced the production cost. Although this boomed the animation industry and made watching animation a popular entertainment, this prosperity only enriched businessmen and capitalists, while front-line animation production employees were squeezed out very badly.
By the 21st century, the salary of the bottom-level employees in the animation industry was low, and they were only able to make a living, and the work intensity was particularly intense, which intensified. This also led to the serious loss of talents in the animation industry in Japan and did not have much fresh blood to replenish them. Many "knowledgeable people" called out: it was Tezuka's fault back then, and the industry pill.
It is obviously unfair to blame all the chaos that has been developing for decades. No matter how great the God of Manga is, it is still capitalists who ultimately decide the direction of an industry.
But some people, such as Hayao Miyazaki, don't think so.
As a progressive leftist, his position is naturally on the side of the working class. He believes that it is Osamu Tezuka who "colluded" with capitalists that led to serious exploitation in the animation industry and difficult survival of employees, so the conflict with him is becoming increasingly intensified.
Even when Osamu Tezuka passed away, Hayao Miyazaki wrote an eulogy to criticize the old enemy. What a grudge.
But ironically, Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli often exposed rumors of harsh working environments and squeezing employees.
Although the political environment in this parallel world has changed, Osamu Tezuka and Hayao Miyazaki still have irreconcilable ideas.
After the production of the worm went bankrupt, Okada Hiroshi Okada, who had been taken care of by Osamu Tezuka, turned against him and often criticized Osamu Tezuka in public. Because of this, he was appreciated by Hayao Miyazaki and participated in the production of the popular "Girls in the Alps" that was once popular, and entered Toei animation with this qualification.
Although Japan has had a tradition of inferior conquering since ancient times, it is no problem to surrender to the enemy and repay kindness with grudges and revenge. However, this behavior is still despised by most people.
Hiroshi Wakao and Masao Maruyama, who were born in the worm, regard Osamu Tezuka as their mentor, and naturally had a relationship with the traitor Hiro Okada.
The conflict between the two sides involves the two great gods Miyazaki Hayao and Osamu Tezuka, the previous generation. Qin Han is not good at commenting on it because it is not a personal grudge, does not involve personal strengths and weaknesses, but it is just a pure dispute over ideas. However, he is not used to being a villain like Hiro Okada.
In particular, the other party came to mock him and asserted that he would never succeed if he had an animation he participated in.
"Okada, that guy, actually underestimated Shaft! I must make a successful animation!" Haruo Hiroshi clenched his fists.
"I'm just going to have this plan. Is Toei animation very amazing? After all, I still have to talk about the work." Qin Han nodded.
"Teacher Qin Han, do you have any interesting ideas?"
