Chapter 1026: I have plenty of money!!

The first day at home was very comfortable.

Wake up naturally with the wife in the morning, have a delicious breakfast made by the nanny after waking up, read the newspaper after eating, take the dog for a walk, chat after coming back, and it's lunch time again...

Take a nap at noon, read books, drink tea, stroke the cat, watch TV in the afternoon, and it's dinner time again...

Continue chatting and watching TV at night, until sleeping at night. In the last three months, I can't be intimate with my wife...

The second day was still so comfortable, just occasionally changing watching TV to playing handheld games, listening to music...

The third day was a bit boring, stayed in the study for a while in the morning to write a script, called friends in the afternoon to chat about the recent situation...

The fourth day was even more boring and irritable, and resumed running exercise at night...

The fifth day...

The weather is getting hotter, nature has entered the most vibrant season of the year, the courtyard is full of greenery, and the grass in the corner is growing wildly every day.

Even Eitaro and Nyataro seem to have sensed what season it is and have become more active.

But Naoki Nagayama, sitting in the eaves corridor of the courtyard, covered his face with a book and whispered in his mouth:

"So boring..."

It's strange to say, when he was the only one in Shanying Yuan before, reading books, drinking tea, and watching TV, he would never be bored no matter what.

But now, clearly with Akina's company, and Mrs. Ye Zhong Mo Li helping to manage the trivial matters, and needing to eat, drink, and play every day, Naoki Nagayama felt bored...

But Akina was not very bored, but very happy.

After breakfast, she chatted with her husband for a while, then went to the clothing design studio to draw clothing styles, or made small clothes for the baby.

When tired, she walked around in the courtyard, smelled the fragrance of flowers in the flower garden, and then, just like now, ran directly to Naoki Nagayama's side and covered his eyes:

"Naoki-san, guess who I am?"

"..." Feeling the soft hands on his eyes, Naoki Nagayama was a bit helpless, "Ah... I can't guess..."

Both hands were taken away at once. Akina circled Naoki Nagayama's neck with her arms, and the whole person leaned over, as if she wanted to give him a cross-face...

"Why is that~~~ The answer is not sincere at all! Say it again!"

"........ Have to say it again..."

Naoki Nagayama became more and more helpless, turned around slightly, and hugged Akina into his arms and kissed her messily.

Looking at the smiling, young, and beautiful wife in his arms, who seemed not to know what sorrow was, Naoki Nagayama couldn't help but sigh,

"Akina is like a child herself, and she is about to give birth to a baby..."

"I also studied hard on how to be a good mother! I also bought parenting books!"

Akina touched her belly in his arms,

"Must be able to be a good mother!"

Then she tugged at Naoki Nagayama's ear: "Naoki-san also has to be a good father!"

"Hai hai~"

After talking for a while, Akina seemed to have thought of something again, and hurriedly ran to the design studio on the other side. It was as if she had suddenly remembered to give her husband a bit of intimacy halfway through work, and then ran away.

Naoki Nagayama didn't continue to blow the wind in the eaves corridor, but came to the study.

The script of "Once a Thief" has been perfected and put aside for now, waiting to be filmed later. And what he is doing now is trying to sort out some anime that popped into his mind before.

"Anohana," "A Certain Scientific Railgun," "Attack on Titan"... These are the anime fragments he thought of before, fragmented pictures. Naoki Nagayama only recorded the theme songs before, and now Shuichi Yin Tang 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 One Piece/Naruto/Bleach..."

Naoki Nagayama roughly remembers the plot of these three anime and also knows several main characters, but after all, it has been so many years, and the pictures in his mind are really blurred.

If he can't recall them, just having a story outline is useless~

"Should I go find some inspiration?"

With such an idea in his head, Naoki Nagayama went out immediately and came to a manga store in Akihabara.

Usually, only teenagers come to the manga store. Suddenly, an adult came, which surprised the owner, and he was even more surprised after recognizing his face.

"Naoki Nagayama... came to buy manga?!"

And Naoki Nagayama strolled among the manga, randomly pulling out the latest issue of "Jump" and reading it.

"Hmm? 'Dragon Ball'..."

The familiar name made him stunned for a while. He hadn't read manga for a long time, and he didn't know that "Dragon Ball" had been serialized until the end of the Piccolo Daimao arc.

"Store manager-san... bought all these..."

Naoki Nagayama hugged a large stack of various manga and walked to the checkout counter, making the elementary school students who were reading for free in the store envious.

"Hai!"

Although the store manager recognized Naoki Nagayama, he didn't greet him like a fan, but was even more reserved... Maybe the boss who opens a manga store is also a bit of an otaku.

"Store manager-san, I have a question to ask."

"Hai, Nagayama-san, please speak..."

"..." Recognized, Naoki Nagayama paused, maintaining the appearance of having discovered nothing, "Has the animation of 'Dragon Ball' been broadcast?"

"Ah, animation?" The store manager thought for a while, "Yes, Fuji TV, broadcast from February, and just finished broadcasting in April..."

"Fuji? April?"

Naoki Nagayama was surprised again. He was filming "Tokyo Love Story" during this period, and he really didn't pay attention to the animation... Besides, no one around him would specifically tell him about animation...

Can you imagine Otomo, who is over fifty, mysteriously chatting with Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san, do you know what was broadcast on the animation last night?"

"..."

Even Akina has passed the age of watching animation~

"Store manager-san, do you have the complete collection of 'Dragon Ball' animation here?"

"Sumimasen, there is none in my store, but the video store nearby should have it..."

"Arigato~"

After paying, Naoki Nagayama hurriedly went to the video store to buy a complete set of "Dragon Ball" animation.

And the boss in the manga store looked at Naoki Nagayama's departing back and fell into deep thought:

"Even Naoki Nagayama watches animation?"

"No, no, it must be for other things! Giving gifts to nephews?"

"Could it be that he wants to produce animation?!"

Even he didn't feel that Naoki Nagayama would simply like watching animation.

In the living room of Shanying Yuan, Akina pushed Eitaro away, picked up a manga and flipped through it casually, and put it down disappointedly... It was not the girl manga she liked to read.

"Naoki-san, why buy so many manga?"

Naoki Nagayama, who was busy next to the projector, put the videotape away, took the remote control, and sat on the sofa:

"The 'Dragon Ball' I saw before, I didn't expect it to be animated..."

"'Dragon Ball'... Son Goku..." Akina seemed to have watched this animation, "Naoki-san, you didn't know?"

"...... Even you have watched it?"

"Watch it when there's nothing to do at home, but it's not good to watch... didn't watch it afterwards..."

Akina likes to watch some music variety shows. Maybe she will like to watch things like "I Love Song Crazy" in the future.

However, watching "Dragon Ball" playing on the TV screen, Akina still sat down with her husband and watched it. Gradually, she also liked this cute, funny, and hot-blooded style.

"Bulma is very interesting~" "Hahaha~ lecherous Master Roshi~" "..."

"Shuichi-san... what did you learn in the animation department of Toei about animated films?"

On the phone at night, Naoki Nagayama asked curiously.

Watching "Dragon Ball" for a long time in the afternoon aroused Naoki Nagayama's expectation for animated films. Various animated blockbusters he had seen before seemed to be stirring in his mind.

"Very slow, very troublesome..."

Shuichi Yin Tang gave two adjectives,

"Naoki-san, after visiting and learning in the animation department of Toei for a few days, I feel that producing an animated film almost takes half a year, which is more time-consuming than filming a movie!"

"Hmm..."

This is also something that can't be helped. In this era, animated films are really drawn picture by picture!

Each frame is a picture, and an animated film is about 24 frames per second. Generally, it is 90 minutes and an hour and a half, so it needs 120,000 pictures in total!

If you want the film to be more exquisite, then a film needs more than 200,000 pictures!

It's better for the "Doraemon" series of films, the picture is relatively simple, and many materials can be used universally.

But such a huge workload can also keep an animation studio busy for a whole year!

"It's really troublesome..." Naoki Nagayama said to the microphone, "Then how many people does our animation studio have now?"

"Currently, there are about 6 people..."

"In that case, recruit more people!" Naoki Nagayama said, "Anyway, so many manga artists have no food to eat... It's troublesome to let them create independently, but it should be no problem to let them draw backgrounds and others according to a certain style, right?"

"No..." Shuichi Yin Tang retorted, "The styles of manga artists are very different, just like handwriting. It is very difficult to unify them..."

"This is also a reason that limits animation creation..."

"So troublesome..."

Naoki Nagayama felt that his desire to see films like "Spirited Away" in advance was an extravagance.

"So, we need to find an animation director first. This is also different from a manga artist. The two people Naoki-san invited before indeed have drawing talent, but it may not work as a director... Maybe it can be an art director..."

Shuichi Yin Tang was still talking,

"Also need to order special equipment... build a studio..."

"In short, we still need a long time to produce an animated film... First, we need to build a production team from scratch!"

"..."

The more he listened, the more troublesome it became, and Naoki Nagayama was a bit distracted.

Then an idea suddenly appeared in his mind... I am so rich now, why do I need to build an animation film production team from scratch?!

Think about how Tencent does it? Find the relevant company directly and buy it!

"Shuichi-san... which is the most famous animation production company in Japan now?"

"Eh? It should be Toho!"

"Uh..." Can't afford Toho, can't afford it, "What about the second?"

"Toei?"

Can't afford it either...

"What about the third..."

"It should be Mushi Production..."

"What else?"

"MADHOUSE... SUNRISE, both are companies that became independent from Mushi Production, and they came out in '72..."

"What about newer ones?"

"There are many, but they are still two famous ones that became independent from Mushi Production. One is called Pierrot, and the other is Kyoto Animation, which was established a few years ago."

Naoki Nagayama listened to the familiar names and felt a bit emotional. Studio Pierrot and Kyoto Animation are both well-known animation production companies in later generations, and they are almost all related to Mushi Production, all of which were independent after former employees left. It seems that Mushi Production is the Whampoa Military Academy of the Japanese animation industry!

"Shuichi-san... Pierrot, Kyoto Animation, contact them during this time and see..."

Shuichi Yin Tang on the microphone was a bit surprised:

"Contact them for what?"

"Contact and negotiate the acquisition..." Naoki Nagayama said, "If acquisition doesn't work, then buy shares..."

"Naoki-san, you are buying an animation studio!"

Shuichi Yin Tang reacted immediately,

"But isn't this just giving them money for nothing?"

It could have been built by yourself, actually it doesn't cost much money... Manga artists are everywhere, it doesn't cost much money, just need time to run-in and train...

"It doesn't matter, I have plenty of money!!!"

Naoki Nagayama finally felt the coolness of a rich man saying this sentence... extravagant and inhuman!

"..."

After being silent for a while, Shuichi Yin Tang asked in a low voice:

"Naoki-san, you are idle at home these days, so you want to throw money out, right?"

"Uh... indeed a bit idle..."

"Then throw the money to me!!! Throw it to me!!! I have no money!"

Naoki Nagayama was helpless: "...... Shuichi-san, you are a billionaire after all, can you not be so shameless!!"

"I don't... if being shameless can make Naoki-san throw money to me, I would rather be shameless!!"

The words the two said were like manzai, making Akina, who was eavesdropping on the side, cover her mouth and laugh non-stop.

In the end, Naoki Nagayama had to interrupt Shuichi Yin Tang's unreasonable trouble:

"Shuichi-san, since we already have capital, we must learn to do what capital big shots do! Buying time with money is a very cost-effective business..."

"In short, you can contact these two recently..."

Naoki Nagayama paused,

"Then let the wind out, saying that Shuyou is going to enter the animation industry and is in urgent need of high-quality talent..."

"Naoki-san, according to our current status, what is said is not a joke!"

Shuichi Yin Tang reminded that according to Shuyou's current status in the entertainment industry, what is said will even cause fluctuations in the stocks of animation companies.

If Naoki Nagayama speaks in person, it can even set off a wave of heat in the animation industry~

"Hmm~" Naoki Nagayama nodded, "This time I am serious!"

"Alright then..."

After continuing to talk for a while, Shuichi Yin Tang hung up the phone.

After continuing to talk for a while, Shuichi Ito hung up the phone.
