Chapter 1473 The King of Animated Movies

In the newspapers over the past few days, there was a lot of discussion about the huge 50 million bonus bonus from Kirin Records, and the news that they had sold hundreds of millions of music tapes through this tour.

In Yin Jun's view, how much money he can make from the second tour is secondary.

What is more important is the spread of influence of Hong Kong singers.

The most important thing is that people in the mainland are now very receptive to Xiangjiang's music.

Whether it's Mandarin or Cantonese, they can accept it.

It's no wonder that the mainland has just got on the right track and is very lacking in entertainment culture. Hong Kong has developed music and film culture for 40 or 50 years, and it is leading the trend.

You read that right, Xiangjiang Entertainment in this era is definitely not just about movies and TV series, they are also leading the trend in singing.

No matter how great the influence of Japanese music on Xiangjiang was in the previous life, this life is different.

With Yin Jun's original future songs and the group of future songwriters invited from Baodao, Xiangjiang's music has already surpassed that of Japan, and has been admired by many Japanese musicians.

Every year, a single that Yin Jun writes for Matsuda Seiko and Lee Soo Man becomes one of the best songs of the year. While helping the two become famous, Yin Jun's reputation is firmly established in Japanese and Korean music. In the Hall of Honor.

Now in the Mainland, because Xiangjiang's songs are so popular, the audience can sing almost all the songs in the concert. The chorus of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" has become a normal repertoire in every concert.

To be honest, such a full chorus is a great enjoyment and a great honor for every singer.

Liang Xiaolong sheds tears every time and is moved.

He was originally a man of the world, but now that he sees how honest the compatriots in the mainland are, he likes it here even more, and he has the idea of ​​​​doing more for them to make a living.

In the previous life, there would be such a lively and joyful concert, but this time would have to wait for another ten years.

Now that he came early, Yin Jun's hard work was not in vain.

If it weren't for the severe crackdown on crime that has been launched in the mainland, Yin Jun would have been eager to send out the third batch of tour teams after the Spring Festival.

In the third batch of concert tours, the boy will bring out the top performers. People like Tan Yonglin and Chen Baixiang will be there. Maybe Yin Jun can coax Zhang Guorong to come and participate in a few concerts.

Of course, this is just talk and thought.

All thoughts that are divorced from the facts are very unnecessary.

Not to mention that the mainland is now under extremely strict control. Whether such a concert with tens of thousands of people can be approved is still a problem.

Considering the current consumption power of mainlanders, three concerts in one year would be a huge squeeze on their wallets.

Also, as for the enthusiasm for chasing stars, I have not been completely conquered by Hong Kong stars, and I have not been used to watching their TV series and movies. Without these all-round blessings, just having three concerts a year is also a kind of devastation.

Even in 2020, if a person who likes music goes to seven or eight concerts in a year, he will feel bored.

Three, four, five or six concerts a year are relatively reasonable.

Concerts are different from watching football matches. You can watch football matches every week, and you can watch them by changing teams, but if it’s a concert, you can’t watch it every week. It's just like watching a movie. It always takes a while to brew the emotion before you have the motivation to watch it.

That was still nearly 40 years later.

Today's people's concepts have not been formed. Maybe they can be better cultivated in the future than in the previous life, but it is definitely not the case now.

Two or three years later, when the mainland cracked down on various crimes and achieved great results, and began to focus on the economy, it happened to be the time when Hong Kong movies became more and more blooming.

At that time, no matter how actively we used TV dramas, movies, variety shows and music, these four major killers, to conquer the mainland entertainment market, it would be a natural success.

…

Two days ago, Toshio Suzuki, the editor-in-chief of Kirin Semimonthly, called Yin Jun and told him that he would bring someone over who might change the world of comics.

Yin Jun knew who Suzuki Toshio was going to bring without even thinking about it.

Besides the most outstanding animation genius in Japan, who else?

Or it can be a little exaggerated to say that he should be the number one animation genius in the world, because he has used the essence of animation to contribute one classic after another to us all.

In his animations, you can understand life, but it is also full of expectations for beauty.

This is the essential difference between Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons and those in the United States.

Many people even believe that only Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons are real cartoons.

Yin Jun knew that Hayao Miyazaki had submitted his "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" comic to "Kirin Half Monthly" from the beginning.

After publishing like this for about two years, "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" became the top three comics in "Kirin Semi-Monthly".

Hayao Miyazaki certainly didn’t come here for the Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind manga itself.

Looking at the time, it is time for Hayao Miyazaki to direct his first animated film in the true sense and start his cheating life.

This comic book movie is naturally the "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" that he is currently drawing.

Many people don't know that Hayao Miyazaki actually drew comics from the beginning, basically the same as Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda.

It's just that his talent in animated movies is more prominent, so his talent in comics is overshadowed.

In fact, except for the first "Lupine the Third" series of movies, starting from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", all the animations he produced, including the main characters, scenes, etc., were all drawn by him personally. As you can see The characters, animals, etc. are all the works of Hayao Miyazaki himself.

Because of this, all of Hayao Miyazaki's movies have a soul and can express Miyazaki's own thoughts to the greatest extent.

Yin Jun likes Hayao Miyazaki's animated films very much. This art itself has transcended national boundaries and will not make Chinese people deliberately think that Hayao Miyazaki is Japanese.

And there is a very important point. Miyazaki Hayao is a famous Chinese-leaning sexist, the same as Tokuma Yasukai.

In fact, Hayao Miyazaki and his group, including Toshio Suzuki, Isao Takahata, and Joe Hisaishi, all belong to this group.

Otherwise, Hayao Miyazaki would not have publicly called out the then Cabinet Secretary-General in 2013 to ask him to apologize to China and South Korea for the XXX issue.

He is so talented and has a heartfelt kindness to China. Such a Japanese should be well cultivated!

In the past two years, Yin Jun also endured it and did not force himself to disturb Miyazaki Hayao's development trajectory. He was just worried that his intervention would change the fate of such a film master.

For a talented master like Hayao Miyazaki, there is no need for Yin Jun to give him any guidance or help, he can do it himself.

Not to mention that when Hayao Miyazaki painted "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind", he was already around 40 years old, and his personality and values ​​had already been formed.

What he needs now, or the reason why Suzuki Toshio brought Miyazaki here, is just to get Yin Jun to support his dream of animated movies.

After all, in this world, Yin Jun is not only a great screenwriter and a great filmmaker, but he also has the best animated film production team in the world - Disney.

Today's Hayao Miyazaki is not yet the master that Disney looks up to, so if he wants to make animated films, he must hope to learn from the strengths of others.

Of course, Hayao Miyazaki is not without any experience. As early as 15 years ago, when Isao Takahata produced his first animated film, Hayao Miyazaki was his art director.

Moreover, Hayao Miyazaki made the second animated movie "Lupine the Third" 4 years ago, but this movie is based on comics, scripts, and post-editing and production, so he couldn't be involved. talk.

Movies produced in this way according to the factory model have no soul at all, so their quality is not high, and their box office is extremely low.

After "Lupine the Third" failed miserably at the box office, Hayao Miyazaki took it as a humiliation and vowed to never make such a movie again.

So in Miyazaki's own words, "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" is his first movie.

…

Yin Jun thought about Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, and before he knew it, the appointed time had arrived.

The door of the small conference room opened, and Suzuki Toshio walked in with a man with black hair and glasses.

Yin Jun took a look and saw that Hayao Miyazaki was not as handsome as with his white hair and beard, and he looked the coolest in an apron.

The current middle-aged version of Hayao Miyazaki is a bit like an honest and harmless uncle, no different from the people you meet on the street.

"Mr. Yin!"

Toshio Suzuki and Hayao Miyazaki used the most accustomed etiquette of the Japanese and bowed to say hello when they came in.

"Mr. Suzuki, Mr. Miyazaki, thank you for coming all the way!" Yin Jun smiled, shook their hands and said, "Please sit down."

"Well……"

The two looked at each other.

Hayao Miyazaki couldn't help but asked, "Mr. Yin, you...how do you know me?"

"I have watched "Lupine the Third" directed by Mr. Miyazaki, and I have also watched your "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind."" Yin Jun said, "Compared with other people's works, I like your expression in "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" very much. The artistic conception that came out. When I saw the first stand-alone volume, I felt that this comic should be made into a cartoon."

Hayao Miyazaki was speechless.

He turned to look at Toshio Suzuki, his eyes saying "I'm convinced, he is really a genius."

Suzuki Toshio smiled, took Miyazaki and sat down on the sofa, and said: "Mr. Yin, your idea is actually very consistent with the purpose of our visit this time. I brought Miyazaki to visit you precisely because I wanted to Make this Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind into an animation.”

"Can."

Yin Jun's answer was still so simple, which made it impossible for the two of them to say a lot of prepared words.

This time, not only Hayao Miyazaki, but also Toshio Suzuki himself has an illusory feeling that "happiness comes so easily, it's hard to believe."

If he hadn't known Yin Jun's personality, Suzuki Toshio would have thought that Yin Jun was lying.

"Mr. Miyazaki, what kind of animation are you planning to make?" Yin Jun tilted his head and asked, "Astro Boy or The Lion King?"

"Of course it's "The Lion King."" Hayao Miyazaki said without thinking.

"Astro Boy" is a classic work of master Osamu Tezuka. He invented the method of rapid animation production.

"The Lion King" is Disney's classic 2D animation. It took more than a year and a team of hundreds of people to produce it.

Yin Jun compared "Astro Boy" and "The Lion King", and Hayao Miyazaki understood it all at once and made a choice.

This is also natural.

If Hayao Miyazaki had always made cartoons with a 24-minute episode, then there would be no great animator in the future.

Although Hayao Miyazaki's animations are not as meticulous in details as Makoto Shinkai, and do not have astonishingly exquisite picture quality effects, the various tones, atmosphere rendering, character movements and expressions of his animations...the more important spiritual connotation, But it is far more than Xin Haicheng.

So even if the global box office of Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name" surpassed "Spirited Away" fifteen years later, no one thinks that Makoto Shinkai has surpassed Hayao Miyazaki.

Even Xin Haicheng himself never dared to have such an idea.

Hayao Miyazaki represents that kind of spiritual connotation, which Japan has not had before and will never have in the future.

His thoughts passed by in a flash, and Yin Jun asked: "What are you going to do?"

After such a conversation, Miyazaki was somewhat prepared for Yin Jun's conversation style.

After hearing this, he came up with his own plan, "If possible, I would like to go to Disney to work for half a year, and then come back to start producing "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind." I hope that Mr. Suzuki will be the general manager and Mr. Takahata Isao will be the director. Producer. If the production cost is 100 million yen, I would be very grateful."

After a pause, Hayao Miyazaki added: "Half of the copyright of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" belongs to your company. If it loses money and cannot make money, I will not receive any director's compensation, and all overseas distribution, video tapes, and peripherals will I don’t want any income from the product. I won’t talk about it until I get my money back.”

"good."

Yin Jun smiled and said, "At Disney, you can bring your own team there. I guarantee that they will be open to you to the maximum extent. As for your other requirements, there is no problem. I am willing to give you 200 million days for the production cost. Yuan, I only have one request, use all your strength to make this movie a success."

Hayao Miyazaki is already forty years old.

But after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel excited, stood up and bowed again.

"Mr. Yin, I will definitely burn my life with all my strength to do it well!"
