Chapter 361 Kato Ichiro

However, the impact of Chen Feiyu joining Xuan Yao Company continued to expand.

Chen Feiyu's reputation in the animation world wasn't just influential in China.

He had a certain amount of fame worldwide!

Many animation masters from other countries had communicated with Chen Feiyu.

So, when they learned that Chen Feiyu had left the animation world to produce short videos, they felt sorry for him.

They constantly paid attention to Chen Feiyu's movements, planning to invite him back to create animations.

However, Chen Feiyu had been declining these invitations for various reasons.

They felt regret, but didn't force Chen Feiyu to return.

But now, they suddenly heard that Chen Feiyu had joined an unfamiliar film production company.

This was simply unheard of in their worldview.

Although film production and animation production were similar in the overall framework, there was a huge difference in content.

A filmmaker who tries to make animation is sure to fail miserably.

These people truly admired Chen Feiyu's role in the animation industry, so they naturally didn't want to see Chen Feiyu end his career in such a dim manner after being silent for so many years.

Kato Ichiro, far away in Japan, was Chen Feiyu's most ardent fan.

When he was young, he followed his mentor to China to study and exchange ideas.

At that time, the young Kato Ichiro met Chen Feiyu, who was a producer at an art film studio.

Chen Feiyu was young and vigorous, with advanced ideas and superb film production technology.

As a student, Kato Ichiro was deeply impressed by Chen Feiyu's ideas and technology.

When he was in China, he followed Chen Feiyu every day, wanting Chen Feiyu to impart some experience to him.

It could be said that, besides his mentor, Chen Feiyu was his second guide on the road to animation production.

After returning to Japan, he devoted himself to studying technology, and gradually gained his own reputation in the Japanese animation world.

By the time Chen Feiyu left the art film studio, he had become a master in the Japanese animation field.

He even had some international fame.

When Chen Feiyu chose to leave the art film studio, Kato Ichiro, who was far away in Japan, invited Chen Feiyu to Japan to create animations with him.

The conditions he offered at the time were very generous, not only persuading the company to settle Chen Feiyu.

He also promised Chen Feiyu that once he joined his company, he would be on an equal footing with him, and even the general direction of animation production would lean towards Chen Feiyu's ideas.

This was exciting for any animation producer.

Because they could focus all their attention on animation production.

However, after hearing Kato Ichiro's conditions, Chen Feiyu still declined Kato Ichiro.

He said to Kato Ichiro.

"I'm afraid I can't agree to these conditions."

"When I create animation, I still want to promote traditional Chinese culture more, so I'm sorry I can't agree to you."

Because Kato Ichiro had been influenced by Chen Feiyu's ideas, he naturally understood why Chen Feiyu refused him.

So he didn't force it.

However, he had been paying attention to Chen Feiyu's movements in Japan.

So when he heard that Chen Feiyu had joined a film production company in China, he felt terrible.

He said to his assistant.

"Chen Feiyu is a genius in the field of animation that I respect very much. In those years, his animation ideas could be said to be world-leading, reaching a unique level."

"Even though he hasn't returned for so many years, I think he is still very talented."

"I have invited him to Japan to produce animations many times, but he has refused me."

"I thought he might choose to open his own animation production company to create animations, but I didn't expect him to choose a film production company."

Kato Ichiro's assistant said respectfully.

"Is it possible that the conditions offered by this film company were so generous that Chen Feiyu chose to join them for the sake of profit?"

"That's not possible."

Kato Ichiro shook his head.

"From what I know, Chen Feiyu's personal life is still relatively wealthy."

"When he left the art film studio, he cashed out his previous stock options."

"In terms of personal wealth, he should not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life."

"Even if he squanders it, he shouldn't be short of money, because he doesn't have any bad habits."

"So there must be his own reasons for joining this film production company."

"Go and check for me, what is the background of this film production company called Xuan Yao Company?"

The assistant went down to check the latest information on Xuan Yao Company. Kato Ichiro sat alone in his chair.

He felt very sorry in his heart.

He believed that he was Chen Feiyu's confidant. Apart from him, no one could understand Chen Feiyu's amazing animation production ideas.

He believed that gold should shine, and Chen Feiyu could not just decline like this.

He had originally planned to wait until he had produced another animated film before taking his work to Chen Feiyu to persuade him to return.

But he didn't expect that Chen Feiyu would choose to join a film production company at this time.

Wasn't this just wasting Chen Feiyu's talent?

Whether Chen Feiyu went to make movies as a screenwriter or produced animation in this film company, it was a waste of Chen Feiyu's time.

An animator's life is only so precious for a few decades, and Chen Feiyu has already wasted a lot of time.

His peak time cannot last long, and now such a choice is undoubtedly wasting Chen Feiyu's artistic life!

Kato Ichiro sat in his chair, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry.

Before his assistant could find out the news about Xuan Yao Company, he booked a ticket to China himself, planning to meet Chen Feiyu in person.

He wanted to use his actual actions to tell Chen Feiyu what was the right choice.

During this period of time, Kato Ichiro felt that he had a deeper understanding of animation.

So he felt that if he saw Chen Feiyu again, he should be more persuasive than the last time he saw Chen Feiyu.

Especially now that Chen Feiyu has chosen to join Xuan Yao Company to realize his animation ideas.

Then why not choose to cooperate with him, Kato Ichiro?
