Best wishes for animation production - #568 - Chapter 564 Threat? (2)
March 18th is the day that the final episode of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is scheduled to be aired.
YUKI studio welcomed a guest – Fujiku Kazuyo.
Gu Xue met the BPO director in charge of the so-called Broadcasting and Youth Related Committee in the conference room.
He looks about fifty years old, with a plump figure and a belly unique to middle-aged men, but his whole person is very imposing, and he feels calm and self-confident when sitting.
Probably because of his high position.
“Is this Supervisor Gu Xue? He is really young and promising. This is my first time to visit an animation production company, and I didn’t meet the person in charge immediately. But seeing him late has its advantages. It is as expected from the outside world. Likewise, Supervisor Gu Xue is so graceful.”
As soon as Gu Xue came in, the director named Fujiku Kazutomo was quite polite. He stood up on his own initiative and extended his hand with a smile on his face.
But Gu Xue is not a fool. What B said is so sinister and angry.
So Gu Xue had no intention of shaking hands with him. She smiled and nodded to him, then said hello to Yu Jingyao on the side and sat down.
Fujiku Kazuyo watched Gu Xue sit down, his smile froze.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, Yujing Yao quickly motioned for Fujiku Kazuyo to sit down and gave him a step to get down.
Fujiku Kazutomo slowly retracted his hand, suppressed his smile, and sat down.
“Let’s get straight to the point, Director Fujihisa, what’s wrong with Puella Magi Madoka Magica?”
Gu Xue asked directly. What bothered her most was being polite.
“I remember telling your studio about the specific reason.” Kazutomo Fujiku also put on a businesslike expression.
“But I don’t understand why an animation without any bloody scenes is labeled as ‘violent’, ‘brutal’ or ‘bitter’?”
Fujiku Kazutomo crossed his hands on the table and said calmly: “I believe Supervisor Gu Xue knows this best. This “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is far from being rated PG-12. It is completely impossible to make a U-turn. It was broadcast in a time slot other than the late-night slot, not to mention the PG-12 rating, the plot that completely subverts the magical girl theme, and the collage style that can easily cause discomfort.”
Gu Xue said calmly: “The scenes of the U-turn have been processed. The collage style is a characteristic of animation. I don’t think there is a problem at all.”
“This is just what you think.” Kazutomo Fujiku narrowed his eyes, “Your animation company believes that it does not represent the views of the general public, nor does it represent the views of the Broadcasting and Youth Related Committee.”
Gu Xue: “So?”
“Please change the rating, mark the age, and try to change the plot, otherwise the BOP will most likely not pass the review.”
“A rating of 18?”
“That’s right.”
“Ha.” Gu Xue smiled and stopped talking.
“This is outrageous.”
Yujing Yao, who was sitting next to Gu Xue, frowned and took over Gu Xue’s place and said, “No matter how good it is, “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” will never be rated at the highest level.”
Kazutomo Fujiku smiled and said: “This is a classification based on the specificity of the subject matter. If it were an ordinary animation, we would not do this, but who knows that this is the favorite magical girl subject of junior high school students.”
“But this is too much. In the industry, this is simply outrageous!”
“As I said just now, your animation company believes that it does not represent the views of the general public, nor the views of the Broadcasting and Youth Related Committee.”
“Can……”
Snapped!
Kazutomo Fujiku suddenly stopped smiling and slapped his palm on the table.
There was a loud bang.
“I said! You can’t represent the public! Are you a BPO, or are we!? But buts! There are so many buts!”
His palm startled Yu Jingyao.
It also startled Sato Ei, who was eavesdropping outside the door.
There was a squeak.
The door was pushed open.
Sato Ei’s 25th son still hasn’t been able to change his habits.
She stood at the door of the conference room, facing the gazes of the three people in the conference room, at a loss.
“Speak of it.”
The arrogant Fujiku Kazumo removed his palm from the table and looked at Gu Xue, “Supervisor Gu Xue, I remember that I said hello to your studio before coming here, right? The results of this review cannot be leaked before they come out. But it seems that your studio didn’t take this seriously, and instead acted in a submissive manner, letting the people below expose the matter, and also led the public to expose the BPO to public attack.”
“Not only that, but people below are even being eavesdropped outside. Supervisor Gu Xue, the management of your studio is really worrying.”
“Isn’t this the one in front of me, Director Sato, who told the story about the review?”
Fujiku Kazutomo turned around and looked at Sato Ei calmly: “YUKI studio is indeed full of talents. Everyone is as beautiful as Director Gu Xue, but it is a pity… rude!”
There are four words for not being polite.
Kazutomo Toku suddenly burst out and roared, scaring Sato Ei’s shoulders.
She glanced at Gu Xue uneasily.
“The so-called politeness is not as simple as greeting someone with a smile.”
Fujiku Kazutomo tapped his fingers lightly on the table: “It’s like some things can’t be solved by being self-righteous! The industry? Think? The most famous YUKI studio in the industry now? Is this what it thinks it is? Even stealing Listen! Are you all aboveboard!? Are you still standing there? Don’t you even know how to apologize!?”
“Supervisor Sato!” Kazutomo Fujiku yelled again.
“I……”
Sato Ei was frightened again and did not dare to look at Gu Xue anymore. She heard what had just been said and knew that the current situation was a bit troublesome. She looked at the calm and confident Fujiku Kazuyo… and bent down. , want to apologize.
“right……”
“Um…Director Kazutomo Fujiku, right?”
Sato Ei’s apology was interrupted before she could say it.
Sato Ei looked up and found that Gu Xue had stood in front of her at some point.
“Senior.” Sato Ei pulled Gu Xue, a little worried.
“Supervisor Gu Xue.” Fujiku Kazuyo put on a smiling face.
Gu Xue swung her ponytail, protected Sato Ei, and said calmly: “Let’s put this issue aside for now. I want to ask you, is there any room for maneuver on the censorship of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”?”
“This… of course.”
Fujiku Kazutomo paused, and after pondering for a while, he gave the answer, and the smile on his face became wider.
What a famous supervisor, he just gave in after a few words of fear!
“Oh? Then tell me.”
“Supervisor Gu Xue, let me ask you a question first.”
Fujiku Kazutomo shook his index finger and asked: “Do you think your YUKI studio is under great pressure to independently fund animation production?”
“good.”
“Don’t try to be brave, I think it must be big, right? After all, your studio has only been established recently and has frequently produced excellent works in the past two years, so you will definitely face such pressure. So, I think, you might as well…”
“Might as well?”
Fujiku Kazutomo coughed and said with a smile: “We might as well introduce some external funds, so that more people can participate in excellent animation production, and with more people, BPO can also listen to more people’s opinions. Only in terms of review can we be fair and impartial.”
Gu Xue showed a sweet smile: “Oh~ I understand, for example? Do you have anyone to recommend?”
“There are also, for example…Itano Records.”
“I understand.” Gu Xue continued to smile and nodded.
“Then…” Fujiku Kazuyo smiled like a chrysanthemum.
“Little Sato.”
Gu Xue suddenly interrupted Fujiku Kazutomo, turned to look at Sato Ei, and asked: “Where are you now?”
Fujiku Kazutomo: “…?”
Sato Ei said weakly: “Conference room, senior…”
Gu Xue asked: “Where is the conference room?”
“The conference room of YUKI studio.”
“Um.”
Gu Xue nodded, patted her on the head, then turned around and looked at Kazutomo Toku, her smile instantly stopped: “Director Kazutomo Toku, did you hear clearly what I just said?”
Fujiku Kazuyo frowned: “Supervisor Gu Xue, what does this mean?”
“Huh? Didn’t you hear clearly?” Gu Xue rubbed her wrist, “I’ve finished asking my questions. It’s time for us to talk about another thing. Let me ask you, Director Kazutomo Fujiku, where are you now? place?”
“…YUKI Studio.”
“Well, very good, then let me ask you, who is the Supervisor Sato you are talking about?”
“…” Fujiku Kazuyo fell silent, his eyes uncertain.
“Can’t you hear it still? Then I’ll ask again.”
Gu Xue was very patient and said calmly: “Let me ask you, who does the Supervisor Sato you call belong to? Where does he belong, and where are you?”
On the side, Yu Jingyao suddenly burst into laughter. She shook her head, stood up and said, “Little Sato, go and call Chen An and Sekiya Acheng.”
“Oh…” Sato Ei was about to agree.
“No need to scream.”
A voice sounded.
Several tough men walked in from outside the conference room, and the leader… was Miss Mihara.
Five tough men walked into the conference room, forming a vague encirclement of Fujiku Kazutomo. Everyone was looking at Fujiku Kazutomo, and among them, Miss Mihara’s gaze was the most terrifying…
Fujiku Kazutomo froze, swallowed, and his eyelids twitched.
“Director Fujiku, you haven’t heard clearly yet? Your ears are really bad. Let me ask you, who does the Director Sato you call belong to? Where does he belong? And where are you?”
Fujiku Kazuyo looked at Gu Xue, his lips trembling.
Gu Xue’s patience finally ran out.
With a sullen face, she suddenly raised her pink fist and punched the table with a harder punch than Fujiku Kazutomo’s just now.
boom.
There was a loud bang.
Fujiku Kazutomo was so frightened that he jumped up and his butt briefly left the chair.
Gu Xuejiao shouted: “Answer me!”
“…Y, Y, YUKI Studio.” Fujiku Kazutomo was confused, his eyelids trembled, and he finally spoke.
“Well, then who am I?”
“…The supervisor and boss of Y, Y, YUKI Studio.”
“Isn’t that very clear?”
Gu Xue smiled, then immediately stopped smiling, and punched the table again: “Then why are you pretending? I am the boss of YUKI Studio, Sato Ei, you are my person, and you are YUKI Studio Who are you? What does it have to do with you? Why are you talking so much? Who do you think you are?”
Fujiku Kazutomo: “…”
“Apologize.”
“…”
“Apologise to Sato Ei.”
“…”
“Apologise!” Gu Xue suddenly shouted with gloomy eyes.
“R-I’m sorry…” Kazutomo Toku quickly bent towards Sato Ei and lowered his head.
“You want a share of the pie? Are you trying to intimidate me with this kind of trick? It’s amazing. Let me tell you the truth. I’m fighting with you. BPO, civil society organization, it’s amazing.”
Gu Xue said lightly.
“Get out.”
Fujiku Kazutomo quickly picked up the briefcase on the side, rolled and crawled, passed through the gap between the macho men, and escaped from the conference room.
“Self-righteous.” Gu Xue’s voice came from far away.
When Fujiku Kazutomo arrived at the door of the conference room, he paused, clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and was about to turn around and say some harsh words.
brush.
Outside the conference room.
The entire YUKI studio suddenly stood up and looked at Kazutomo Fujiku coldly.
The moment the door opens.
The conversation in the conference room was spread out.
Fujiku Kazuyo felt the cold gazes coming from all directions, and instantly gave up the idea of saying harsh words.
He ran away from YUKI studio.
