Chapter 266 ZARD and the Fairy Tale of Time

Kitahara Sosuke's mansion, lobby, and private cinema.

Hayao Miyazaki and Ran Kitano had been waiting for a long time. Sitting on the sofa with them was a beautiful girl with a reserved expression, wearing loose jeans and trousers. She kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands, lowered her head slightly, and did not dare to look at Miyazaki. Jun and Kitano Ran.

The three of them didn't know what they were talking about, and they were chatting about each other. Hayao Miyazaki was the most interested, Ran Kitano echoed the master, and the beautiful girl occasionally interrupted, looking slightly out of place.

Kitahara Sosuke came with Ito Marika, Kitano Ran and Miyazaki Hayao quickly stood up and bowed. The beautiful girl on the sofa just said "Ah", slowed down a beat, got up in a panic, and kept bowing and apologizing.

"Uraike-san, welcome." Kithara Sosuke smiled generously and waved to indicate that she shouldn't be too nervous. He also said hello to Kitano Ran and Miyazaki Hayao, and took Ito Marika to sit on the sofa.

Kitano Ran started to serve them tea and snacks like a hostess. The ambiguous relationship between her and Kithara Sosuke, a genius like Hayao Miyazaki could naturally see it at a glance, and laughed without saying a word, and did not dare to really let the big boss know. woman serves herself.

"Long time no see, Mr. Miyazaki, have you brought the movie?" Kitahara Sosuke still has great admiration for this animation master. The success of the last "Kiki's Delivery Service" also made Studio Ghibli famous. The business does not restrict the studio from accepting orders on its own, and it also strongly requests Hayao Miyazaki to serve as the director of Kitahara Animation.

Hayao Miyazaki was also grateful for the kindness of the banker who was just the department head in the past. He smiled and nodded without saying anything, and played the newly produced animated movie blockbuster for them - "The Fairy Tale of Time". 》.

Hayao Miyazaki originally had a similar idea, but when the bubble economy burst, he modified the background according to Kitahara Sosuke's wishes and set the story in Kyoto.

The male and female protagonists both returned to their hometown from Tokyo. They were childhood sweethearts, but had no contact after leaving their hometown. At this time, they met and became neighbors in the countryside. The male protagonist is an employee of a high-tech club, and the female protagonist is an employee of a temple. witch.

The story is mainly based on the love line, supplemented by the career line. The beautiful pictures show the classical beauty of Kyoto, and the beauty of technology is also intertwined in it, which is amazing.

It can be said that the entire script of "The Fairy Tale of Time" has been completely different from the original one due to Kitahara Sosuke's excessive interference. It has been changed beyond recognition. Kitahara Sosuke is also very worried about this. If the box office fails, it will be embarrassing. .

After all, this animation was the highest-grossing movie in Japan in 1991, with a box office of 1.87 billion yen and a net profit of 1.2 billion yen.

This time, with the full support of Kitahara Animation, there is no problem in terms of funding. The cost has been increased to 1 billion yen. It can be called a masterpiece. In this era, every frame of animation can be used as a wallpaper collection.

"Sunny day, cloudy day, rainy day, which weather do you like best?"

As soon as Kanai Miki's beautiful voice sounded, Kitahara Sosuke felt that this movie would be successful!

Sure enough, if you spend money on a big production and have a master like Hayao Miyazaki at the helm, it won't be bad!

After watching the animated movie, the three women all fell into yearning for the quiet life in Kyoto.

The impact of the bursting of the bubble economy has indeed penetrated into all aspects of people's lives. Especially Marika Ito, who fell from a height, was the most emotional. Sachiko Kamaike, who also worked hard for life and ideals, was also sighing. Incessantly.

She originally thought that joining the new club would give her a chance to realize her musical ideals. She endured the discomfort and worked as a Qingliang photo model for more than half a year. Not only did she not get a singing opportunity, she was even hinted at by the leader about hidden rules.

She was almost ready to give up on her ideals, but thanks to the help of Kitahara Sosuke, she managed to survive. At Kitano Ran's suggestion, she jumped to Kitahara Entertainment without hesitation and became the first artist signed by Kitahara Entertainment.

"What do you think?" Hayao Miyazaki asked expectantly.

"It's great! The life in Kyoto depicted in the animation is so desirable!" Ran Kitano immediately replied, "I think the movie will definitely be a hit."

"The love between the male and female protagonists is also very touching." Marihua Ito nodded.

Only Uchiko Sachiko was a little silent. Kitahara Sosuke looked at her and asked in a low voice: "What do you think about Uraike-san?"

"Eh, eh, me?" Kamaike Sachiko looked up at him, her clear eyes reflected Kitahara Sosuke's handsome appearance. Her cheeks were slightly red, and then she nodded, "Very, very pretty, that's right."

"That's it?" Kithara Sosuke looked at her with a smile, "Please just say it, it doesn't matter."

"I don't think the theme song is very nice." Kamaike Yukiko shrank her head, feeling that this was a bad expression, and quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, no, I mean, it just doesn't match this animation very well, ah, I’m just talking nonsense, Master Miyazaki, please don’t mind Mr. Kitahara!”

This is exactly what Kitahara Sosuke wants!

Hayao Miyazaki did not feel that her words were offensive to his work. Instead, he nodded slightly and agreed: "Actually, I have also considered the theme song, but with our existing resources, this is what I can invite musicians to produce. The best song, the other songs are even worse.”

After all, Beiyuan Entertainment has just started. Especially in the music and film and television circles, its reputation is very low. Even if they are willing to pay a big price, many well-known musicians are not willing to pay attention to them.

Several people fell into silence.

The excitement just now passed suddenly.

Kamai Sachiko shrank her head and glanced at Kitahara Sosuke, wondering if she had offended this big boss.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked over, he saw Kitahara Sosuke's bright, boyish smile.

"Is it okay if we let Rika-chan and Uraike-san work together to create a new theme song?" Sosuke Kitahara looked at the two of them, "Riaka-chan studied music in Vienna before and is the most outstanding young pianist in Japan. He is very accomplished, and Uchi-san’s musical talent is undoubted. If the two of them collaborate, they should be able to create amazing sparks, right?”

"Eh? Are we together?" The two looked at Kitahara Sosuke and looked at each other again.

This proposal is groundbreaking, but it doesn't seem so unrealistic.

This was still the big boss's suggestion, and of course others present nodded in agreement. However, the release date of the movie has been determined, and suddenly changing the theme song would be extremely stressful.

Kamachi Sachiko bit her lip, and after several mental battles, she nodded in agreement.

Marihua Ito would naturally not object to being able to work in the music career that he loves again.

The two hit it off immediately, and in order not to waste time, Kithara Sosuke simply let them use the music room of the mansion as a recording studio and studio location, and also asked Kitano Ran to help find band partners.

"Band? Form a band?" Kitano Lan was shocked by his novel idea.

Kitahara Sosuke glanced at Uchiko Sachiko and Ito Marika, nodded vigorously, and said seriously: "That's right, if we want Uraike-san to become an instant hit, a regular band to serve her is essential, and if there is a stage name, it is also necessary Confirm it.”

"Haiyi!" Kitano Lan nodded, "Then I'll go to Tokyo and ask."

"A band specially formed for, for me?" Sachiko Kamaike looked surprised and looked at Kitahara Sosuke with wide eyes.

"Yeah, I've thought about the band's name too, it's called ZARD!"
