Chapter 584 Sakuragi Hanamichi! The Genius Appears!

Lin Qiu is really too productive.

Although many music fans have always said that Lin Qiu is a "pigeon" who releases an album every few years, it must be said that every year Lin Qiu has produced a series of excellent works. The 18 songs in Tang Anning's album are simply songs tailored by Lin Qiu for her.

It is a blessing for a singer to meet a songwriter who suits him. If Lin Qiu's main job was not a director, it is estimated that all the singers in Xiazhou would ask Lin Qiu to write songs for him. But now Lin Qiu is too lazy to even release his own album, so how can they bother Lin Qiu again?

After the new year, the two supplementary works of the "Lord of the Rings" series, "The Silmarillion" and "The Hobbit", were released together, supplementing the world view and story of the Lord of the Rings world. Among them, the obscure content in "The Silmarillion" made thousands of professional book fans constantly smack their lips.

It can only be said that such a grand world view and story can only be written by Lao Zei.

…

After several years of development, the scale of Changan Film and Television Company has become larger and larger, and its influence in Jiuzhou has also risen.

In the casting of "Titanic" this time, the actors from Jiuzhou were almost scrambling to get in. After Hansen, who played Jack, was decided, the actress Ruth was easy to choose.

Because in this world, there are always more beautiful women than handsome men in terms of visual perception, and there are countless beautiful actresses active in the entertainment industry. As long as Lin Qiu wants, many beautiful actresses want to climb into Lin Qiu's bed in order to win the position of the heroine of a blockbuster.

After many auditions, Lin Qiu chose Lydia, a little flower from Mizhou. Interestingly, Lydia's English name is the same as the name of a song in Xiazhou, Lydia.

In the previous life of "Titanic", if you ask who the male lead is, I'm afraid any young person can answer it. After all, it's Leonardo Dicaprio, who is a famous work.

But if you ask who plays the female lead, I'm afraid most people can't answer it.

Kate Winslet's ascension in this play is far less than that of Leo.

Lin Qiu was 120% satisfied with the pair of male and female protagonists. When they appeared in front of the camera, they were just two words - pleasing to the eye!

Before the filming started, when the two came together, the crew members were already smacking their lips. To be honest, they had been following Lin Qiu to shoot movies for so many years, and had never seen such a delicate girl and such a handsome boy!

Before the filming officially started, the new Oscars officially arrived under the attention of the public!

Before the start of this year's Oscars, film review magazines and critics around the world predicted that this would be another infighting between Xiazhou directors and Xiazhou directors, Ye Zhiyuan's "Inception" and Lin Qiu's "The Pursuit of Happyness"!

And what happened at the Oscars ceremony was exactly in line with the predictions of all walks of life in Jiuzhou!

Ye Zhiyuan and the crew of "Inception" won 6 awards!

"The Pursuit of Happyness" also won five awards, and the two almost won all the awards with gold content!

What's more interesting is that the plot of this year's Oscars ceremony is exactly the same as last year!

Ye Zhiyuan won the Oscar for Best Director for two consecutive years!

The final award for Best Picture went to "The Pursuit of Happyness"!

Such a final result made the Xiazhou audience excited and a little amused, because although Lin Qiu won the Oscar for Best Picture in succession, he never won the Oscar for Best Director!

However, it still completed the re-election of Xiazhou directors and Xiazhou films in the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture.

In fact, both Lin Qiu himself and the industry expected this result. After all, neither "Manchester by the Sea" nor "The Pursuit of Happyness" belonged to the director's outstanding films. In the previous life, "The Pursuit of Happyness" won many awards, but its director Gabriel Muccino did not receive much praise. All the praise went to the famous movie star Will Smith.

But Bratt and Gabe participated in Lin Qiu's film and won two consecutive Oscars, which made the whole world see Lin Qiu's terrifying ability to create stars!

Whether it is creating stars in the film industry or in music, Lin Qiu's ability in this area is too terrifying. In the new movie "Titanic", Lin Qiu boldly used two young actors!

At the moment when the male and female protagonists were decided, the fate of these two young actors from Mizhou was truly changed!

...

"Director Xiazhou's creativity is really too strong! The four films in these two sessions are all brilliant!"

"Will the Oscars be completely dominated by Director Xiazhou?"

"Is the era of Director Xiazhou coming?"

"Next year, it is estimated that only Lin Qiu will fight alone. Ye Zhiyuan's new film should not catch up with the Oscars next year! It is said that it is a masterpiece with quality no less than "Inception" and "Witness for the Prosecution"!"

Globally, Director Xiazhou and Xiazhou's films have been praised for their outstanding achievements in the Oscars!

Mainly because the quality of the films is too good, there is almost no big controversy.

These excellent works are controversial because they did not win awards.

But it is not so easy to say if it will be a three-time champion. First, there are more than one blockbuster released this year, and Ye Zhiyuan's new film may not be able to catch up with this year's Oscars!

Ye Zhiyuan just got married and came back from his honeymoon.

The preparation and casting of the new film "Shutter Island" have basically not been done. Even if Changan is more efficient, it is estimated that it will take until July or August to start filming.

According to this calculation, it is unlikely to be released at the beginning of next year. Although Zhou Kai's Marvel series has gradually become the best superhero movie in the world in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, this kind of commercial film is not very competitive in the Oscar Awards.

In this way, next year's Xiazhou movies should all depend on what kind of results Lin Qiu's "Titanic" can achieve.

In the previous life, James Cameron and "Titanic" won 11 awards including the Best Picture at the 70th Academy Awards, and also won the Oscar for Best Director with the film, becoming the best winner!

Today's special effects technology is far superior to any era in the previous life. Lin Qiu believes that if he can shoot more shocking visual effects, he will be able to sweep the world and impact the Oscar Awards and the world film history total box office record at the same time!

...

In the film industry, the start of filming has always been less concerned.

The filming of "Titanic" is divided into three parts. After the filming in Mizhou is completed, the entire crew will go to Xizhou to complete the rest of the filming.

With the official start of filming of "Titanic", Lin Qiu once again devoted himself to the work. The difficulty of this filming task is the scheduling of various props.

Although Hansen and Lydia are two new actors, they both have certain filming experience.

And the overall difficulty of acting in this film is definitely not as good as the starring actors of "Manchester by the Sea" and "The Pursuit of Happyness".

...

In Xiazhou, many fans of Lin Qiu and Lao Zei have been following them from middle school to college, from college to society, which has become a habit.

Whenever these two have works released, even brothers and sisters who don't contact much on weekdays will chat about it in Moments or groups.

In this prosperous era of entertainment, it must be said that Lao Zei and Lin Qiu are the "gods" in their respective fields.

There are similarities in their works, but the core is different.

Lin Qiu has always encountered relatively few doubts, but Lao Zei's journey is really too bumpy.

Just being scolded on the hot search list is more than once or twice.

Even though the achievements are unprecedentedly outstanding, there are still many doubts every time a work comes out.

But Lao Zei's life is a life of struggle, and the seemingly unpopular works that come out one after another prove everything.

This year's sports-themed work "Slam Dunk" is another work that breaks the world's audience's perception of sports anime!

For a long time, in the entire animation industry, the portrayal of sports themes has tended to be "superpowers".

Superpower football, superpower basketball, superpower volleyball, as if in the animation world, reality and blood are not related. In competitive sports, once the pursuit of reality will lead to a significant reduction in drama, thus becoming a niche.

The previous masterpiece sports anime "Prince of Tennis" is a work that promotes superpower sports. Various middle-second-degree explosive moves appear on the tennis court, Tezuka's "Zero Serve", Yukimura's "Five Senses Deprivation", one more exaggerated than the other.

There are also popular anime such as "Kuroko's Basketball". It has to be said that adding superpower entries will instantly make sports anime popular.

There is no example of a sports-themed anime that pursues realism that has become popular in the world.

"Slam Dunk" is an anime that depicts the characterization and the basketball game itself. Even after more than ten years, even if it is just the name of a supporting role in it, it is still enough to attract a large number of Slam Dunk anime fans.

And the extremely outstanding group portrait description is the biggest charm of "Slam Dunk" that distinguishes it from other sports anime.

...

Question and expectation coexist!

It is in line with the expectations of global anime fans for this sports anime!

After the broadcast of two super animes in succession, even the anime clubs in Yingzhou now have a learning mentality when watching Chang'an anime.

The sports theme itself is not a small niche. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many Kyushu people to pay attention to every Kyushu Olympics. But how to make sports anime and how to combine it with the two-dimensional style of anime is a huge problem.

In the eyes of these anime clubs, it seems that "Slam Dunk" will give a most textbook answer.

In this atmosphere, Slam Dunk premiered in May when there were few entertainment works!

"Take a look at Lao Zei's sports anime!"

"Look forward to Lao Zei breaking our perception of sports-themed works again!"

"It feels like another super popular national anime idol is coming."

"Look forward to it! This is the first time that an anime blockbuster has been released in such a short time."

"Let's see if this anime can catch up with Attack on Titan. I personally feel it's hard, but Changan must have a reason to do so..."

Before it was officially aired, the expectations of anime fans all over Kyushu have already exploded!

It's all the popularity accumulated by Attack on Titan!

All of Changan's anime works seem to be snowballing. The end of each work will be followed by the next work that amazes the audience.

"It's on!"

"Here it comes!"

Changan Animation is still updated on time. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, this sports anime work that was famous all over the world in the previous life and popular for 20 to 30 years has finally come out!

“This song is so beautiful!”

"I've listened to it countless times this week!"

The opening theme song "I Want to Say I Love You Loud" (君が好きだと声びたい) was released in the trailer a week ago. The BGM created by Lin Qiu is as amazing as ever, and the most important thing is that it fits the anime perfectly!

The BGM in "Attack on Titan" is particularly passionate, the sentimentality and warmth in "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day", and the piano art in "April". This classic song, the first line of lyrics is very suitable as soon as it comes out.

The dunking scenes of basketball players one after another in the trailer made everyone excited, especially the boys who love basketball. They have been looking forward to it for countless days and finally waited for the launch of "Slam Dunk"!

The only thing these boys expect in this anime is...

Passion!

Passion!

Still passion!

But no one expected that the protagonist of the first episode of "Slam Dunk" was not a boy who loves basketball.

You know, in previous sports anime works, the template of the male protagonist is fixed. In fact, most of the protagonists in the past life are also like this, whether it is "Captain Tsubasa", "Blue Prison", "Blue Reed", "Haikyuu!", or even "Prince of Tennis" and "Kuroko's Basketball", the protagonists all have certain abilities.

There has never been a protagonist with zero basketball foundation like "Slam Dunk".

…

"Sorry! Sakuragi!"

"I like Oda from the basketball club!"

The first scene is a middle school girl shyly rejecting the male protagonist of this work-Sakuragi Hanamichi!

"Failed!!"

Sakuragi roared, but Sakuragi's best friend Sakuragi Army was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "Congratulations, Sakuragi!"

"In the three years of junior high school! You have been dumped 50 times!"

"This is a world record that no one can break!"

Is this the male protagonist of "Slam Dunk"?

When seeing the first plot, the corners of the mouths of countless anime fans twitched, and some even laughed out loud!

Red hair, tall, and a simpleton, this is everyone's first impression of Sakuragi.

This is completely different from the previous cool, or passionate sports anime male protagonist image. From the first scene of the first episode, it brought everyone a new idea.

"How will the old thief portray the protagonist Sakuragi Hanamichi?!"
