"If I say I sell my art but not my body, will you hit me?"
"Even if you give me money, I don't want to sleep with you." Shion snorted coldly, "I don't think you are stupid enough to take it literally, right?"
The corners of Nanaya's mouth twitched slightly. He certainly would not understand the young lady's words in a literal and ambiguous way.
Obviously, this young lady didn't want my body, but wanted me to work for her.
"I'm sorry, Miss Washimine, but am I not yours now?"
Nanaya shook his head in his heart. He didn't know why this young lady was suddenly interested in him. He was just a director, and there was a huge gap between him and Washimine's gaming industry.
"Really?"
Washimine Shion asked back in a tone that seemed very innocent.
Nanaya nodded and said, "Yeah, am I not working on Jifeng's Goblin Slayer?"
"But this is only temporary, right? After the project is over, you, Kiryu, should no longer cooperate with me, right?" Washimine Shion rubbed her fingers gently on the edge of the teacup, "I hope you, Kiryu, can work for me forever."
"...Can you tell me the reason?"
Washimine Shion's eyes sparkled. She leaned closer to Nanaya and said, "Because Kiryuu, you are really amazing. You are just a director of Goblin Slayer, but you have brought me benefits far beyond this movie."
"The benefits of motion capture technology are beyond our imagination. Kiryu, this move of yours has brought countless conveniences to our Washimine future."
Washimine Shion was very sincere when she said this, and both her actions and expressions were impeccable.
Nanaya raised his eyebrows: "I thought Miss Washimine you would blame me for acting without consulting you."
Nanaya is very clear about how useful motion capture technology will be in the future.
Although it is certainly an exaggeration to say that motion capture technology is omnipotent, there is no doubt that this technology is the future of special effects technology.
If Nanaya himself hadn't had any money, he would have wanted to sign the relevant agreement with Weta Workshop on his own.
Although it is not yet clear, the technology of motion capture will have a vital impact on both the film and game industries in the future. If you can get a patent for this technology, you can say that you don't have to worry about food for the rest of your life.
Nanaya brought Washimine with him just out of convenience, not because he cared much for Washimine, but because he hoped Washimine would teach him after mastering this technique.
Even if he doesn't direct a movie with a budget of more than 50 million U.S. dollars in the future, Nanaya, who focuses on commercial films, will definitely have a demand for special effects technology.
As someone who is used to watching Hollywood movies, he is very demanding in terms of the realism of special effects. The exaggerated special effects technology in Japan is far from what Nanaya wants.
Washimine Shion covered her mouth with a smile: "How is that possible? I really believe in you, Kiryu."
In fact, Washimine Shion was a little angry after knowing that Nanaya acted on her own. She was not a technical background and only had a vague understanding of the prospects of motion capture technology.
But there is someone in Washimine who understands the prospects of this technology, and that person is the current Washimine president, Satoru Iwata.
Satoru, who came from a technical background, immediately saw the benefits of motion capture technology and praised Nanaya's vision.
Apart from anything else, with the help of motion capture technology, Washimine's game development can be much smoother.
3D can be said to be the trend of game development, but 3D modeling is undoubtedly an order of magnitude more difficult than 2D. How to make the movements of game characters more realistic has always been the goal of all current game developers.
Motion capture technology can make up for this shortcoming very well, which is like a long-awaited drizzle for Washimine, which currently lags behind Sony in the gaming field.
Washimine Shion believed in the vision of her brother Satoru Iwata, so she agreed to bring her team to New Zealand for negotiations.
At the same time, Washimine Shion also began to pay attention to the director Kiryu Nanaya, not simply from the perspective of a film financier, but from the perspective of a leader.
Washimine Shion, who is eager to enter other entertainment industries, has recently discovered her shortcomings. She has ideas to expand Washimine, but lacks someone to execute these ideas.
In the business field, Washimine Shion is good at financial operations and equity competition, but she is not so good at specific projects in the entertainment industry.
Although she initiated the game-to-movie project of "The Saint and the Brave", she was a complete layman when it came to the specific operation.
Even after the "Goblin Slayer" project started, although Washimine Shion was the first producer of the film, most of the preparatory work was done by Kiryu Nanaya.
There are only three things that Washimine Shion does: giving money, contacting the partners that Nanaya needs, and finally signing the relevant agreements.
After experiencing this series of events, Washimine Shion became very clear about one thing - humans as creatures have their limits.
When you excel in one area, you will inevitably be lacking in another area.
Leave things you are not good at to people who are good at them. This is the principle that Grandpa Shion taught me.
Now that you know where your shortcomings are, it's just a matter of finding someone who can execute the project.
So Washimine Shion took a fancy to Nanaya, whose execution ability was fully demonstrated during the preparations for "Goblin Slayer".
Although Nanaya is by no means the perfect choice in terms of experience, he is growing very quickly.
More importantly, Nanaya has something that those experienced veterans don't have—a forward-looking vision.
Whether it was in the deployment of the design for the "Goblin Slayer" project, or in directly intervening in the motion capture technology when he saw the opportunity during the production process, especially the "Goblin Slayer" peripheral money-making plan submitted by Nanaya at the beginning of the project, Washimine Shion was amazed.
This is an excellent strategist.
In many aspects, Nanaya has demonstrated a sensitivity to new things far beyond others, which is the most important reason why Shion Washimine took a fancy to him.
With this forward-looking guy, maybe with his help I can really bring Washimine to an unprecedented height.
"…"
After listening to Washimine Shion's explanation, Nanaya was completely stunned.
Family members know their own business.
Kiryu Nanaya didn't have any special vision, just the experience of the past 20 years. He only had a little knowledge, and if he really worked under this young lady, he would be squeezed dry and discarded in a minute.
Therefore, the very realistic Nanaya thinks that he should just focus on making movies, as venturing into the business world is simply not suitable for him.
"I'm sorry, Miss Washimine, please find someone else."
Nanaya declined the young lady's kind invitation with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Kiryu, you are still very humble." Washimine Shion obviously would not let him go so easily.
"No, thank you."
Nanaya refused again.
Shion smiled playfully and said, "Forget about learning from Hu Shi, it's useless even if you learn from Lu Xun~"
"…"
[Why does this young lady even know this? ]
Nanaya felt that he was in a difficult situation.
"Or..." Washimine Shion raised her lips, "Do you like the little sister of the Ryutani family more than me, Kiryu? You really are a lolita complex."
[Why do you think of this kind of thing? ]
Although to some extent, Illya is much cuter than the business lady in front of him. But if he admitted this, he would be beaten out by this woman.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
But Nanaya's three consecutive JPGs were obviously not very useful, and Washimine Shion followed closely.
"Then can you tell me, Kiryu, why did you reject me?" Shion laughed, but it brought great pressure to Nanaya.
Why do you say the same tone as what Shizuka said to Fat Tiger?
Nanaya shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm really not qualified. Apart from making movies, I'm just a person who talks on paper. It's okay to come up with a bad idea occasionally, but it's troublesome for me to really execute it."
However, Washimine Shion immediately caught the loophole in Nanaya's words. She clapped her hands and said, "So, Kiryu, you admit that you can make plans? Then sign this."
Nanaya subconsciously took the agreement handed over by Washimine Shion, and was stunned for a long while looking at the various legal clauses on it.
"What is this?"
Shion said very calmly: "Equity Agreement, you will serve as my personal planner, and as a reward you will receive 0.2% of Washimine's shares. You cannot transfer or sell these shares, nor can you exercise the corresponding shareholder voting rights, but you can enjoy the corresponding share dividends every year."
"So what do I need to do?"
Seeing Nanaya was somewhat interested, Shion's smile deepened: "Help me to come up with ideas and make corresponding suggestions for Washimine's plan in the entertainment industry. As long as your suggestions are useful, I can give you more bonus every year."
"What if it fails? You won't ask me to bear the loss, right?"
"No, you only have the right to make suggestions. I am the one who makes the final decision. At most, I will deduct your bonus for that year."
"This condition is too good."
Nanaya frowned, he was a little unconvinced about the other party's conditions.
There is no free lunch in the world.
Even though it is only 0.2% of the shares, for a company like Washimine with a size of over 10 billion US dollars, this amount of shares held by an individual is not a small amount at all.
Although he is unable to exercise his rights as a shareholder, the annual dividends are a huge sum of money for Nanaya.
"If you have any doubts, Kiryu, you can ask a dedicated legal advisor to check it out."
"I will."
Nanaya said very frankly.
Shion seemed very aggrieved and said: "What a pity, I thought you, Kiryu, would be very touched and would gladly accept it."
"Haha. Ms. Shion, we are all adults now, so we must be cautious about agreements and contracts."
Nanaya would never give in on such a matter. It is better to be a villain first and a gentleman later than to be sold out directly.
"But since you accepted the agreement, Kiryu, that means you have ideas about this position, right?"
"That's about right."
Of course Nanaya would be interested in this position which almost pays for nothing.
"Well, Kiryu, can you help me with something? Consider it a return gift for this dinner, and I'll give you a bonus afterwards."
Shion blinked her big eyes and looked at Nanaya. Perhaps she wanted to imitate Illya's eyes, but Nanaya felt a chill.
After all, the other party's age...
"Ahem, so what is it about?"
"This, of course, is about idols~" Shion laughed, "It's about the development of Trier, who you are very familiar with, Kiryu~"
"What?!"
pS: “I can’t do it, thank you” comes from Hu Shi. This was the telegram he sent to his students when he was promoting vernacular Chinese and told them that he refused to be a secretary of the Executive Yuan.
I have seen this story several times when I was in school. I think you all have an impression of it, right? If you haven't seen it in the new textbook, you can search it on Baidu.
Speaking of which, if Hu Shi and Lu Xun were put into modern society, they would always have a kind of love-hate relationship. I guess they would become the CP objects of many people. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Obviously Ming Mi-chan just wanted to make a joke, but why does this chapter become so obscene when the title is combined with the previous one... Is it because of the word [干]?
