Chapter 143 47. What? Make "Princess Ghost" a game?!

Tokyo.

Ghibli Co., Ltd.

The company just moved to its new location in Dongxiaojinjing in August this year, and it has only been three months since then.

The new environment is good, but everyone seems to have not fully adapted.

There are not many people in Studio Ghibli now, only less than 50 people, and there is still a big gap from the 300 people at their peak in their previous life.

Since its establishment in 1985, Studio Ghibli has only been more than 7 years. In a country like Neon, it can be regarded as a [baby].

After all, Kyoto animation was established at about the same time.

However, in terms of strength and fame, it is one in the sky and one in the ground. Miyazaki, 51 years old, can be said to be a master of neon animation industry and is known as the first person after Osamu Tezuka.

Today, the Ghibli Studio is a little busy.

In a small room less than 40 square meters painted by Hayao Miyazaki, the executive Toshio Suzuki was happily installing a TV on the table, and then carrying a Sega MD game console next to it.

In fact, there is a cold knowledge and a small misunderstanding here.

Because Hayao Miyazaki is very famous and is also one of the co-founders of Studio Ghibli, many people subconsciously think that Hayao Miyazaki is the president.

But this is not the case.

Studio Ghibli was established through investment in Tokuma Bookstore.

With the investment of Tokuma Bookstore, Hayao Miyazaki joined forces with Isao Takahata and Toshio Suzuki to establish Studio Ghibli.

The name Ghibli comes from a reconnaissance aircraft in Italy during World War II, meaning "hot winds in the Sahara Desert".

Since Miyazaki's father used to work in an aircraft manufacturing factory, Miyazaki has been full of yearning for flight and the sky since he was a child, he thought of naming the studio [Ghibli].

Ghibli's first president was the famous Tokuma Yasuki, who later transferred the position of the president to the former TOPCRAFT president Toru.

Due to different opinions on business policies, Harashi resigned from his position as executive director at this time last year and was replaced by Toshio Suzuki.

The current president of Ghibli Co., Ltd. is Suzuki.

...

Such an organizational structure and coordination are actually more conducive to Ghibli's development. Suzuki is responsible for all company internal affairs, personnel management and coordination, external publicity and operation, and then release all the time and energy of Hayao Miyazaki and Isai Takahata.

, allowing them to focus on doing their own things without being disturbed by some trivial matters.

However, this actually brings some [small problems]

For example, middle-aged men like Hayao Miyazaki are always well protected and always immersed in their own world. It is difficult to make changes and changes, and they rarely think of knowing the latest world.

This may lead to inability to keep up with the times and information lags.

Often at this time, Toshio Suzuki will act as the person who opened the door to Hayao Miyazaki's new world.

For example, some time ago, when Studio Ghibli began to introduce computers as a tool, in order to let this guy [play with computers].

Suzuki thought of a way to trick Hayao Miyazaki, who was a sacred man, into using a computer.

He knew that Hayao Miyazaki liked chess very much, so he deliberately opened the chess software when Hayao Miyazaki approached.

Miyazaki Hayao couldn't help but be surprised. This big guy was able to play chess, and he couldn't help but itchy. As soon as he started playing, he praised his computer's high level.

So Suzuki bought a computer for Hayao Miyazaki on the grounds that "you can play chess."

For the next few days, I saw Hayao Miyazaki and the computer having a lot of fun.

Suzuki was secretly happy.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Suzuki went to work, he saw that the computer was placed on his desk again, and there was a souvenir from Miyazaki, which read "I won't be fooled."

It turned out that it was because the computer's chess level was too high, which killed Hayao Miyazaki, which made this guy heartbroken.

In short, for Suzuki, although Miyazaki is in her 50s, she tolerate living like a child.

No, to be precise, it looks like a little hamster.

He is very timid and extremely afraid of frustration. Once there is a turmoil, he will be deterred from his comfort zone.

This time Suzuki does not plan to put Miyazaki hamster back to her comfort zone.

...

Some time ago, I accidentally saw an advertisement about the game "Your Name" on TV, and Hayao Miyazaki actually said something like "To play the game" for the first time.

Even Toshio Suzuki was shocked.

You know, this guy used to regard the game as a big enemy.

In his previous life, Studio Ghibli produced many animated films, and they are basically very classic and internationally renowned works. There are even many game manufacturers who want to obtain game development rights for related movies.

Especially for early works like Steam Boys that had a distinctly Oriental cyberpunk style, many people think that it would be so cool if it could be developed into a game.

But what about this old man Miyazaki Hayao, it's not.

Don't let it be made into a game if you don't want it.

That's why there are rumors that Miyazaki doesn't accept the game at all, and even regards it as a great enemy, saying that he is stubborn and conservative and does not accept new things.

In fact, only part of it was said correctly.

There are several important reasons.

Ghibli has not tried gamification, but this guy Miyazaki was heartbroken because of the earliest gamification.

In 1984, Studio Ghibli was not yet established, but "The Valley of the Wind" was already well-known at home and abroad. At that time, Tokuma Bookstore produced three adaptations of "The Valley of the Wind" through its subsidiary brand "technopolis soft".

It corresponds to three types of home computers that were once popular in Japan at that time.

This may seem incredible today. They did not directly transplant it, but developed three different games for the three platforms!

However, these three games have a distinct common feature - "It's called trash that is all about raising it."

Think about it, in 1984, Rentian had not even developed Super Mario. The hardware at that time was a disaster and could not support the game screen of "The Valley of the Wind" and what Miyazaki wanted

content.

Most of the 56k games are used as the game boot screen (the restore degree of the Wind Valley is quite high), and the game just takes 10 minutes to load.

Yes, you read that right, it takes 10 minutes to load the game. It took more than a miracle to make computer games in 1984, but also to have great courage.

And the game can only be described as terrible.

It is equivalent to drawing a Mona Lisa in the movie Hayao Miyazaki, and the game is made into a bean paste.

Failure is inevitable, and it also ruins Miyazaki's thoughts on games and computers.

...

In addition to the game adaptation of "North of Wind", Hayao Miyazaki also has a reason to hate the game -

That's why he's too naughty.

He died soon after playing the game and was tortured by monsters, so Miyazaki Hamster stopped trying it out and quickly abandoned the game and was never ready to be related to the game in his life.

Now, all this was broken by a TV commercial, which really made Toshio Suzuki feel incredible.

Hamsters will even show their heads one day.

While Suzuki was installing the game console, Miyazaki Hamster watched the whole time, and he looked at the black box placed on the table in front of him with some confusion.

"Have the game consoles become like this now?"

"Isn't it? Do you think it was still 10 years ago?" Suzuki Toshio smiled.

"No, my son plays too, but I see his machine is red and white."

"That's Rentian's game console, this is Sega's MD."

Miyazaki was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"Do you have so many gaming consoles?"

"Just like us who do animation, there is not only one company that makes game consoles."

As he spoke, Toshio Suzuki had installed the game console and tried it to run it. He handed the handle to Hayao Miyazaki, "Okay, it's time to start."

What appears in the picture is the beginning interface of "Your Name".

To be honest, there is still some difference between the picture quality in the promotional video.

After all, the accuracy of hand-drawing can be very high, and the hardware level of gaming consoles is not yet reached.

However, the picture is already the top of the contemporary era and is quite close to the original picture quality.

This alone is far from comparable to the pixel style of the little bee in "The Valley of Wind" back then.

Thanks to this 16-bit computer, and Sony's support and improvements to the CD-ROM of the game console, the capacity and quality of the game have been greatly improved.

Of course, the main reason is that Pokeni's own software and hardware level is high enough.
