New Century Anime Warrior

Can we copy Chapter 91?

Matsutani and his party said they were going back to adjust to the time difference, but as soon as they entered their room, they had the translator contact the hotel manager and request to rent a small meeting room.

Then they gradually gathered here.

"We didn't find any eavesdropping devices, did we?"

Sasaki Takashi asked, although he knew that given China's attitude, it was highly unlikely that they would do such a thing, but people are always wary of the bad things they have done in the past.

After all, I've actually done it myself.

"It's been checked, there's no problem," an assistant replied.

"Let's begin."

Matsutani Takayuki, who had been calm and collected all along, finally spoke up.

"Chong, you go first."

Takashi Sasaki is Matsutani Takayuki's disciple and his most favored successor. In the future, he will inherit the position he holds and the vast political assets behind it.

"These are all amazing concepts, whether it's the reason that leads to the giant humanoid weapon or the world-building."

"The Gundam project only stated that it was a war between a colony and Earth, but judging from the keywords that Tsukasa specifically extracted, it is an allusion to the story of colonists rebelling against their mother continent."

Matsutani nodded: "A political metaphor."

"Yes, that's what I think is the most groundbreaking aspect of these two proposals."

"Our company, Higurashi, has always been focused on children's content, but looking back, animation is just an entertainment product and shouldn't be defined as exclusive to a certain age group."

"I used to think that late-night shows were vulgar, but now I realize that it was just our perceptions that were vulgar."

"Gundam's concept appeals to teenagers, while its story can capture the attention of teenagers and even adults."

Matsutani Takayuki listened silently without saying a word.

Kentaro Saegusa also expressed his opinion: "I found that both works have a certain degree of hard science fiction elements, which means that strong settings are very important."

"The setting doesn't have to be that rigorous, but it must be believable. In our previous works, the settings were too casual, and older viewers inevitably felt that they were unrealistic and childish."

"This misconception is perhaps why we've always thought this market is only for children."

After listening to Kentaro Saegusa's analysis, Takayuki Matsutani looked at Jun Kanzaki. Although his position was not high, he represented the attitude of the God of Wealth.

"I have already seen a vast market. Si Jun truly deserves his reputation as the Empire's strongest mechanical illustrator. These two mecha designs are too mature and too detailed."

"I even think that with just a few minor modifications, we can go straight to the engineering design stage and start prototyping."

"This allows us to quickly bring related toys to market."

"Moreover, whether it's Gundam or that theatrical project that I didn't quite understand, their worldviews are very grand and their perspectives are far-reaching, not limited to one country or one region, which naturally allows them to cover the global market."

The more people analyzed and discussed it, the more amazed they became.

As the voices faded, everyone looked at Matsutani Takayuki, the true decision-maker of the team.

"————" After a moment of contemplation, he asked the question that he cared about most and that was the most crucial.

"Can we do it ourselves?"

"Or rather, can we copy it?"

Upon hearing this, the three core members exchanged glances, each trying to find the right words, while the other accompanying personnel simply lowered their heads and remained silent.

"I think it's possible, but it will take time."

As the person in charge on the surface, Takashi Sasaki had to make a statement at this time.

"It's all just window paper, it'll break at the slightest touch. We did consider making science fiction works for a wider age group before, but our economy has stagnated for twenty years."

"I've long since lost any hope for the future."

"Science fiction is an art form oriented towards the future, and only countries that still have a future can do it well."

"Just like we believe in American science fiction, and we believe in ourselves from decades ago."

"If it were the 1970s or 80s, perhaps we would have had some geniuses who could lead us down this path."

"But now—I'm even worried that we won't even be able to copy it properly."

Sasaki Takashi's words made the already low atmosphere even colder.

These are all true elites, and they all understand the underlying principles.

Although the usual work environment is very informal, personal ability has nothing to do with the system.

Their hasty arrival was also driven by the sense of crisis among a small group of people at the top.

Island nations are, after all, countries sitting on a powder keg, constantly facing earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and typhoons.

In many matters, they are used to considering the worst-case scenario, but they are also prone to going all in and betting everything.

Because they really didn't have that much time to hesitate.

If you don't take a gamble, you'll die — but if you do take a gamble, you might die, or you might live.

At this point, Kentaro Saegusa also spoke up, agreeing with Takashi Sasaki's point of view from the perspective of a producer: "We don't have similar experience before. If we start from scratch, it will not only be slow and costly, but also risky."

"Didn't our original series, 'Quantum Mecha Atlas,' also get influenced by the market and ended up being turned into a school harem anime?"

"Just like what Sasaki-kun said earlier, we can copy, but we don't have time to polish it."

Jun Kanzaki added, "Moreover, the peripheral design may take more time. The overall design of that religious sci-fi work is relatively simple, consisting of large mecha parts. We can handle it with the design team that used to work on mainstream peripherals."

"But that Gundam is clearly at the level of industrial-grade mechanical design. Many parts seem to have practicality and functionality, rather than being mere decorative components."

Having fully understood everyone's thoughts, Matsutani Takayuki sighed deeply.

"Why haven't we seen a genius like this on our side?"

"Is this what they mean by a vast and resource-rich land with outstanding people?"

With this remark, a sense of loss settled over the meeting room.

"Little brother," Lin Che called out to Si Hua.

"Is there anything you need to tell me, brother?"

Do you think they will compromise?

In fact, Lin Che already had the answer in his heart, because Song Gu and the others couldn't afford to wait or waste time.

But Lin Che, as Lin Lin's older brother, was just testing Si Hua because he had nothing better to do.

"Yes, they will. They have no other choice." Si Hua said without much thought, "After all, they are capitalists."

"Although they are still greedily desiring to have it all, their greed will outweigh their reason once they realize that the longer they delay, the less money they can make."

"Capital's short-sightedness means that once they smell the aroma of money, they will pounce on it without hesitation."

"If we had only shown them some raw materials like flour and eggs today, they might have been more determined to copy directly."

"But what I served was basically ready-made food that could be eaten with your hands. How could they resist?"

"Just like that line says, it's all my money."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Che was first taken aback, and then burst into laughter.

He had considered many possible answers, including costs, market cultivation, and pressure from higher authorities.

But I really didn't expect Si Hua to answer from the perspective of their class nature.

This person has actually studied the art of dragon slaying.

"So what's next?" Lin Che asked, even more curious.

"First, behead them! Then piece them back together, take them flying, let them have some soup, make some money, and finally reluctantly take them in as dogs."

"Just like I told Uncle Chen before, we have to floor the gas pedal, accelerate and accelerate, and conquer Mount Fuji first."

"Then keep hitting."
