Chapter 631: Studio Next Projects II
[Ghibli Movies - Spirited Away]
That's right!
Theo chose to produce 'Spirited Away' as the first animated movie that his animation studio would release. It was only after a long time of doubt that he chose this one, as he had spent a long time deliberating which movie would be the best to open the market for Studio Ghibli movies from his past life.
'Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (Kaze no Tani no Naushika)' was the first movie that Studio Ghibli released in his last life, and Theo absolutely loved this movie. But after thinking for a long while, he concluded that the movie theme wouldn't be appropriate for the first movie of the studio in a world like Azure Star.
Overall, the legacy of World War II in Japan has left a profound mark on the nation's history, culture, and collective memory. Studio Ghibli films sensitively explore the themes of war, resilience, and hope, drawing inspiration from Japan's wartime experiences while advocating for peace, empathy, and understanding in a world scarred by conflict.
But the Sakura Abode Country wasn't affected by the global conflict that stormed the world in the last century, so the Sakurean wouldn't be able to relate to this theme. So, Theo decided to choose a movie without the war-related theme.
Plus, 'Spirited Away' was one of his favorite movies, and he wanted to share this masterpiece with the world!
Everyone in the meeting room was surprised when they read the screen. They had thought that they would start the production of the other works from the Fuji Co.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
'A movie?' Everyone asked themselves as they waited curiously for Theo's explanation.
"That's right. A movie. We'll produce our very first animated featured film." Theo smiled happily.
At that moment, the screen showed an amazing drawing that Theo did base on the magical world of 'Spirited Away'.
After almost a year of practice, Theo achieved a level of skill in painting and drawing that very few could achieve. So, when he seriously focused on drawing something, it would always achieve excellence.
"Wow"
"That's an amazing piece, boss."
"So beautiful."

Everyone complimented as they appreciated the picture on the screen.
"This picture depicts one of the scenarios of the movie. If you open the second document that Amber distributed, you'll find the script of the movie. Now you can read the script, after all of have finished, we'll continue with the meeting." Theo instructed.
Everyone hurriedly picked up the script and started reading right away.
She would finally be able to focus her work on anime production and not on company management. That's because the studio hired people much more adept in management to take care of these things, plus the Umbrella Corporation was managing them as well. Ryoko couldn't wait to start working!
For example, before she had to take care of the Kuramaroll negotiations, but now Theo placed these negotiations with the legal team that Sam separated to manage the Kuramaroll Streaming Service.
Before the launch of the [SAO] Anime and the Kuramaroll Streaming Service, Sam promised to complete the separation between the Tokyo Studios and Kuramaroll, plus she even said that she would separate a floor in the Umbrella Corporation to place some managers exclusively to take care of the streaming service operations.
"We'll start with the world-building design. Brianna, what do you..." Ryoko started the discussion about various aspects of the movie's pre-production as she consulted the chiefs of departments and sections.
Here and there, Theo helped them with his ideas, but the meeting was more about Ryoko and the others brainstorming on how they could produce something amazing.
Theo looked at their focused faces and felt proud to have so dedicated employees in his studio. He trusted Ryoko, so he didn't worry about the work they would do, and if they committed any mistakes he would discard their whole work, he would simply point at the mistakes and explain to them how it should be done. This way everyone would be able to become better at their jobs, consequently the next time they needed to do similar tasks, they would be much better at it.
Just like that, the meeting went by for another two hours, before Ryoko reluctantly called for
the meeting to end.
She still had a bunch of things to discuss with her staff, but it was already lunchtime and everyone was hungry already.
Theo exited the meeting room as he chatted with Ryoko and others when he suddenly felt his cellphone vibrate.
He looked at the display that showed [Babe<3], he smiled as he answered the phone, "Hey,
babe."
"Really?"
"No way!"
"Well, if you think so, I trust you. But I have to admit that I'm a little nervous." He laughed
nervously.
"Okay, love you."
"Bye."
Theo ended the call as he resumed his walk toward the studio food court.
His girlfriend had scheduled his first live performance!
