吉卜力恐解散 宮崎駿時代的謝幕？
This summer, the new Studio Ghibli movie When Marnie Was There directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi could be Ghibli's last.
由米林宏昌執導的電影《回憶中的瑪妮》是吉卜力工作室今年夏天推出的最新力作，而這部作品或將成爲吉卜力工作室的絕響。
Studio Ghibli is best known for iconic anime like My Neighbor Totoro, Grave of the Fireflies, and Kiki's Delivery Service. Last year, the creator of many of Ghibli's best known works, Hayao Miyazaki, retired from making feature animated films.
吉卜力工作室製作過《龍貓》、《螢火蟲之墓》、《魔女宅急便》等一系列著名動畫。去年，製作過多部賣座動畫的宮崎駿宣佈將停止動畫電影創作。
Insider told Japanese site News Cafe that Ghibli's latest release, When Marnie Was There, "seems like it will be the last [from Studio Ghibli]." The article appeared on Rakuten, one of Japan's largest web portals.
知情人士向日本網站News Cafe透露，吉卜力工作室的最新電影《回憶中的瑪妮》“可能會成爲工作室的最後一部作品”。這篇報道出現在日本最大門戶網站樂天網上。
"From here on, it appears as though this won't be a studio that makes new works, but instead, manages its copyrights."
“從此以後，吉卜力工作室應該不會再繼續製作新的作品，以後將主要進行版權管理工作。”
The insider added animated films required tremendous amounts of money, so there is pressure for the films to be successful so Ghibli can cover its costly production expenses as well as, I'd imagine, remain healthy and profitable. By the insider's count, each film apparently needs to make at least ten billion yen (US$100 million) to cover all its production costs as well as, I'd imagine, turn a healthy profit.
知情人士還稱，動畫電影製作成本高，因此電影必須大賣，若不能大賣，工作室就無法支付高昂的製作費用，並維持良好的運營和盈利。每部電影需要至少有100億日元（1千萬美元）的票房才能夠收回電影製作成本，並且有不錯的利潤。
"There's no choice but to dissolve the studio, because it's unable cross the high hurdle of announcing a new film on an annual basis."
“由於不能每年都出產一部新電影，無計可施之下只能解散工作室。”
A bright point is that Goro Miyazaki, Hayao Miyazaki's son, is directing Ghibli's first animated TV series, Ronia the Robber's Daughter. The computer animated series is a co-production, however, with Polygon Pictures and will debut this fall.
不過宮崎駿長子宮崎吾朗目前正在執導吉卜力首部TV動畫《綠林女兒羅妮婭》，讓人感到一絲欣慰。該部動畫是吉卜力工作室與日本頂級CG公司Polygon Pictures一同負責製作，將於今秋上映。
