Both of them introduced their chosen actors in front of Naoki Nagayama, refusing to give in to each other.

Nagayama Naoki looked at the photos on the table. They were all handsome actors who were famous in the entertainment industry. Each one of them was outstanding in terms of acting skills and image.

However, due to the unspoken rules of the current film industry, almost all male actors have to hone their acting skills and accumulate qualifications... so most of them are over thirty when they become famous...

"These... are a bit older!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the two directors and said,

"Isn't there anyone younger? You know Tiger of Ginza said that you want to become famous at a young age... This is how it feels to be shot!"

"Become famous at a young age..."

Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor looked at each other. The one who became famous at a young age must be the most outstanding male idol!

At present, Neon's most famous male idols are all in Johnny's...

"Naoki-san, are you talking to Johnny & Associates?"

"...Um, that's not what I meant..."

Naoki Nagayama quickly shook his head. After all, a large part of the characters in "Tiger of Ginza" were based on himself. If Johnny's male idols were to play the roles, he would be a little uncomfortable. After all, those idols were all given to Kitagawa...

...

Thinking of this, Nagayama Naoki suddenly raised his head:

"You don't have to limit yourself to neon. You can look for actors from an international perspective...actors from Hong Kong, Taiwan and other regions are not impossible..."

In this era, the entertainment circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan are closely related to neon, and many celebrities are also famous in neon.

When he said this, he was actually thinking about whether Liming would make his debut now. After all, he would make Naoki Nagayama feel threatened in terms of appearance~

"Hey... let's go look for it again!"

Komori Masataka seemed to understand, nodded repeatedly, and then pulled Kijima Kyun out of the office.

.......

Seeing that the relevant personnel had gone out, Naoki Nagayama lay down again~

Just when Nagayama Naoki thought he could continue to be lazy and rest, the office door was knocked again...and then pushed open!

"Naoki-san!"

Itou Shuichi walked in so calmly~

"...."

Alas~~It seems that I am too lazy today!

"Shuiichi-san..." Nagayama Naoki sat up straight again, "What's wrong?"

"Regarding the materials you gave to the animation studio before..." Itou Shuichi handed over some manuscript papers and some set text content, "These feel very messy..."

Nagayama Naoki saw some images sketched on the manuscript paper, including the image of Totoro from "My Neighbor Totoro", the Unit-00 of "Neon Genesis Evangelion EVA", and even the Titan from "Attack on Titan"...

These were all drawn by him after recalling them before. However, he was not a painter himself, so he could only use sketches to outline some prototypes of the protagonists and distinctive images.

Then when the people from the animation studio found it, they sent it all over and asked them to look at it for reference. They are all cartoonists anyway, so maybe they can draw the original work?

It's not that he doesn't want to do animation, it's just that it's too troublesome... He doesn't want to be a painting machine!

"ah...."

Nagayama Naoki scratched his head,

"This is just an occasional inspiration. I drew it casually...to enrich them with material, thinking it might be useful in the future..."

"What's wrong?"

Itou Shuichi sat on the sofa, poured a glass of cold water, drank it, and then sighed:

"In the past few days, I went to see the animation studio I invested in before... Although the young people there seem to be very talented, the whole studio is like a headless fly..."

"Since its establishment, I have only drawn some hot-blooded comics...and some manuscript materials..."

They are cartoonists themselves, this is their job, and it is very easy to draw cartoons based on movies!

"Hahaha, I'm too busy with other things, so I never wanted to take care of it..."

What can Naoki Nagayama say?

Do it on a whim and then forget about it?

Just like the bosses of many companies, they built a project on a whim and then threw it aside to let their subordinates do whatever they wanted? Then the subordinates did not dare to give up and could only maintain it...

"Hmm~"

Itou Shuichi didn't mean to criticize too much. Anyway, investing several million yen was just a small amount of money.

"But this year, I wanted to try animated movies, so I went to see the studio..."

"Now I want to ask Naoki-san if he has any comments."

Nagayama Naoki was very excited when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Of course no problem!"

"Future animated movies must be the hallmark of neon movies!"

"It can be seen from the current Doraemon series and the previous "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" that people are very receptive to animated movies. In the future, the box office of animated movies can exceed that of real movies!"

Decades later, animated movies have become a symbol of neon movies!

Itou Shuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki with some surprise:

"Is Naoki-san so confident in animated movies? Then why haven't you tried to make one before?"

"Because..." Nagayama Naoki scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "It's too troublesome..."

"..."

Itou Shuichi showed his dead fish eyes,

"Naoki-san, say it again? I didn't hear you clearly..."

"Hahaha~"

Naoki Nagayama slaps haha,

"Actually, my painting skills are not good... and I don't want to paint things all day long..."

Although the second dimension is wonderful and the paper figures are cute, I am just as wonderful in the third dimension now!

And how can Paper Man compare to his own Mingcai?!

Akina can give me a baby! Can the paper man do it?

"As an animation director, you don't have to draw all day long..." Itou Shuichi wanted to retort, "You only need to supervise the quality!"

"But the entire movie still needs someone who understands comics and animation to be responsible for the overall style and quality of the animated movie!" Naoki Nagayama said.

Behind every hit movie, there must be a director who understands animation as the core!

Osamu Tezuka, Makoto Shinkai, Hayao Miyazaki...

"Shuichi-san, if you want to make an animated film, you first need to find this talent!"

Yi Tangxiu nodded and asked:

"Naoki-san recruited Yoshihiro Togashi and Gosho Aoyama, can't they?"

"..." Old thief... Naoki Nagayama nodded and shook his head, "They should be reliable cartoonists, but as directors they may not be able to..."

"I see!"

Itou Xiuyi stood up, his face became serious,

"It seems that I watched animated movies too easily before!"

"Naoki-san, I decided to go to the animation departments of Toho and Toei for training..." Itou Shuichi's voice became softer, "It's best to recruit some talents..."

"Well...if we can, that's fine...but everyone knows you, right? Will they let you in?"

When he said this, Itou Shuichi looked at Nagayama Naoki in surprise:

"As long as our tree friends invest in one of their movies, it will be fine... then we will be on site as relevant personnel to supervise, so that no one will say anything...

You won't lose money by investing in Toho Toei's movies, and you might even make a small profit..."

Itou Shuichi summed it up in one sentence:

"You know, our tree friends are now among the richest in the entertainment industry! We tree friends are not short of money!!"

"..."

Well, this sentence of “no shortage of money” is quite confident!

However, Naoki Nagayama is also looking forward to it. If his own animation department can really be established, what kind of "Evangelion", "Garden of Words" and "Unknown Flower" will come in the future...

Can they all be released in advance?! Maybe I can see the masterpieces of previous lives before the millennium!

Suddenly I feel like watching anime!!
