Before entering the company, Hiro Okada looked up at the door of the company. The conspicuous Toei animation logo: a cat with a cowboy hat, with a line of text "since_1956" below, which immediately caught my eye.

This logo has appeared at the beginning of many animations. It has a long history since the 1950s, and has given the name "Toei Animation" a profound heritage and unique temperament.

This is Japan's leading A-level animation company.

Standing on such a huge platform gave Hiro Okada a lot of confidence, making him believe that he could achieve better results than his competitors.

Hiro Okada entered this eight-story building with deep blue glass curtain wall that he was extremely familiar with and came to the Okawa Studio, whom he was responsible for on the sixth floor.

Toei Animation has a huge scale, with nearly 1,000 employees. It produces several series of TV animations and theater animations at the same time every year. It naturally needs to be divided into independent production teams to facilitate management.

Hiro Okada was transferred from the planning and production headquarters to the newly established Okawa Studio, full of confidence and hoped to do something.

After cooperating with the government, I produced several public welfare animations and then produced one for the film. After I made a film, Dachuan Studio accumulated enough experience and honed a mature production team.

Afterwards, Hiro Okada won a valuable opportunity to produce the animation of the popular girl manga "Sailor Moon" from the executive director Shin-sein of Yoshikoname.

Hiro Okada was full of ambitions. He wanted to become a top producer in the industry with this animation, then go from TV to big screen, begin to get involved in the production of theatrical animation, and eventually create animated films that are comparable to Ghibli and are well-known all over the world.

Hiro Okada, who had a grand blueprint in his mind, naturally did not allow him to experience failure at the beginning of his career. Although his personality was not very good, his behavior of betraying his mentor Osamu Tezuka was despised by former colleagues such as Hiroshi Wakao and Masao Maruyama. However, Hiro Okada was still very dedicated to his work.

He is the producer of "Sail Moon", not the director of the production, and does not need to go to the production site every day. However, in addition to running outside every day, attracting sponsorships for "Sail Moon", doing publicity and communication with the original author, he will also come to Toei animation office whenever he has time to check the progress of animation production, boost morale and so on.

Qin and Han can realize that in the high-intensity animation industry, if you want to produce an animation that has always maintained a high level of quality, you must keep the creative team high morale.

Hiro Okada, a veteran in the industry, naturally knows this truth.

After the "personnel adjustment" some time ago, several thorns led by Yuyuki Toshino were removed, Okawa Studio has now followed Okada Hiroma's lead.

When he came to the office area, whether it was the employees who were working hard or the employees who had just arrived at the company, they all said hello to him.

Hiro Okada nodded all the way and came to his office.

After a while, Toshiyuki Ishimura, the art supervisor of "Sailor Moon", knocked on his door.

"Come in."

"Good morning, Okada Samsara."

"Good morning, Ishimura Sang, is there anything?"

Toshiki Ishimura closed the door, sat on the chair opposite Okada Hiroshi, and asked, "San Okada, did you watch "The Magic Girl Koyuan" early this morning?"

Hiro Okada's face changed: "Why should I watch that animation?"

"Can you touch the enemy's background?" Ishimura Toshiyuki explained.

He talked about Haruo Hiroshi, and at the most critical moment, he resigned from SHAFT and joined Toei Animation. His behavior can be said to be very despicable.

It’s nothing to leave and change jobs. It’s so-called good birds choose trees to live in. However, when Ishimura Toshiki was preparing to independently produce animations at SHAFT and was preparing for "Magic Girl Koyuan" for a long time, he suddenly left and left a bunch of messes, which made people feel very upset.

If Qin Han had not taken on the position of art supervision, I am afraid that the first animation independently produced by SHAFT would not have been born so smoothly.

Toshiki Ishimura wished that "Magic Girl Koyuan" would be a failure. In this way, my original job-changing move would be more legitimate. You see, I just said that SHAFT independently produced original animations, there was no chance. I just didn't want to lose with them, so I switched to Toei.

Although Hiro Okada's face was not good-looking when he heard Toshiki Ishimura's words, he actually watched "The Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" the first time last night.

This is probably "I say no to you, but I am very honest in my body." Although I hate and contemptuously towards my competitors Qin Han and SHAFT, I can't help but want to understand the other party's movements.

Toshiyuki Ishimura didn't care about Hiro Okada's face and said to himself: "To be honest, this animation of SHAFT is ordinary in the plot and setting, and is the most common magic girl animation. A middle school girl meets a magic envoy and becomes a magic girl, and then spends her daily campus life while fighting against evil forces... To be honest, this kind of animation has no idea at all. I can't imagine who will buy BD."

"At least, those painting chefs are very interested in "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan". "Hiro Okada did not belittle his opponents. "The picture of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is definitely the top in the industry, the frame number and details are amazing, and the color use is also master. There is also the special art style of collage, which is also eye-catching. Ishimura Sang, I saw that the art supervisor's name on the cast list of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" is Qin Han. The new art director found by SHAFT is very amazing."

Now, it was Shimura Toshikawa's turn to look ugly.

He knew that everything Hiro Okada said was true. But it was precisely because of this that he didn't want to admit it.

"If I still stayed in SHAFT, I would definitely do better than Qin Han, the layman. He is a cartoonist, and for the animation industry, he is just an layman."

"Of course Ishimura Sang. To be honest, the investment in "Magic Girl Koyuan" reached 30 million yen in one episode, which was more than us. The excellent pictures of that animation were all made of money. Moreover, the unique art style is suitable for late-night animation, but not necessarily suitable for the prime national anime. The other party probably knows that only by taking evil ways can one overcome us."
