Chapter 605 "Spirited Away"

"The characterization of the old thief is really awesome..."

"Really, this point has always been present in Lao Zei's works, but it is really taken to the extreme in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

…

The character creation in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be said to be at the textbook level. In the previous life, many characters in it can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even an illiterate old lady in the countryside can tell the story of Guan Yu. Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang's character traits are enough to prove everything.

When it comes to the ideas in this book, it is a matter of opinion and wisdom.

The old thief usually does not express too many personal opinions on the interpretation of these works, which is quite mysterious. But the most mainstream view now is that although this work shows the process from "union" to "division" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty , but "division" and "combination" do not have the same status.

This kind of "dividing" does not reflect the author's wishes. On the contrary, the old thief's writing is heartbreaking for this period of "divided" history. What the author devotes all his time to describing is the difficult process from "division" to "unification", which is the great achievement of heroes from all walks of life who fought hard for reunification.

Before "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was released, there was a certain distance between the old thief and traditional writers, including the transformational work "The Lord of the Rings". In fact, the style of the previous best-sellers is still very mature.

But as soon as this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was released, the old thief immediately became the No. 1 writer in Xiazhou!

Not just bestsellers, but all authors.

Even Zhu Xiahua, the world's leading writer, was full of praise for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and said, "This book is a treasure of Xiazhou"!

Just one book shattered all Xiazhou’s traditional literary authors’ perceptions of old thieves!

The huge waves caused by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are still continuing, and will last for a long time, affecting several generations.

The old thief is still the same old thief, and he likes to continue exploring in multiple book fields. Even some relatively unpopular novel types will have amazing vitality in the hands of the old thief.

But what readers didn't expect was that the old thief could even write historical novels, and he wrote them so well!

Even the most staunch fans of Lao Zei's books would never have imagined that Lao Zei's writing skills are so amazing.

…

Lin Qiu has always been quite clear about his plans for releasing works.

After entering a new stage, every subsequent work will be a masterpiece, a work that has left a splendid appearance in the entertainment world of previous generations.

For example, the just-released "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the currently filming movie "Titanic", and the upcoming animated movie "Spirited Away" to be released in early August!

In his previous life, in 2001, Hayao Miyazaki's masterpiece "Spirited Away" won many international awards including the Golden Bear Award at the 52nd Berlin International Film Festival and the Best Animated Film Award at the 75th Academy Awards. Saki's pinnacle work!

In the field of animated movies, the status of "Spirited Away" needs no introduction at all. Even viewers who have not watched this movie have more or less heard of the famous name of this animated movie.

Just this summer, in a few days, "Spirited Away" will meet Chang'an animation fans all over the world!

Chang'an's animated film "Your Name" last year swept many international animation awards and reached dual milestones in terms of box office and influence of animated films. It's really shocking!

Because of this, the vast audience and movie fans in Kyushu are so looking forward to what kind of masterpiece Changan can produce after "Your Name"!

That’s right, it’s a masterpiece!

Now audiences and movie fans across Kyushu are demanding not just a masterpiece, but a masterpiece!

Whether it is "Attack on Titan", "Slam Dunk" or "Your Name", they are all so amazing, breaking the audience's understanding of the animation industry, and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has already made the old thief a god Forum, everyone has more reason to believe that "Spirited Away" will be a masterpiece!

Judging from the style of the current trailer, "Spirited Away" is still very different from the previously released "Your Name", and it seems to be very healing.

But it is estimated that no audience will be deceived by this appearance. After all, the old thieves have learned a lot from the past. Basically, what seems to be a "cure" turns into "depressive" after it is officially released and launched online. Even "Your Name" Fans burst into tears.

"Spirited Away" tells the story of a 10-year-old girl, Chihiro, who accidentally came to a different world of gods and spirits. In order to save her parents who turned into pigs, she went through many hardships and finally succeeded in rescuing her parents.

Any artistic creation is rooted in history and reality, and looks to the future. The judgment of a masterpiece is not only in terms of painting skills and aesthetics, but also in terms of ideology.

Although it is an animated film, its content contains rich philosophy of life, including the truth and hypocrisy of human nature, kindness and ugliness. It is a rare animated film.

Compared with the young movie fans of "Your Name", "Spirited Away" may have a wider audience.

As the poster for "Spirited Away" says: [A fable and fairy tale for children and adults].

Both children and adults can find something different in the classic anime movie "Spirited Away".

…

As long as the official work of Changan Film and Television Company is released, there is no need for too much publicity. As early as a few months ago, it has been ranked at the top of the want-to-watch list of major film and television apps.

Once the name "Old Thief" is attached to him, his popularity will soar at a terrifying speed.

"Spirited Away" is no exception, and it can occupy a place even in this summer season when global blockbusters are suppressing it.

I have to say that there are really a lot of big-budget films coming from Kyushu this year.

In fact, movie fans have expected this since last year and the year before that. This year, they will be concentrated on the most popular summer movie. It can be said that there is a fierce fight. Early next year, Lin Qiu's super-big production "Titanic" will be released.

This summer, "Spirited Away", as an animation film produced by Chang'an, rarely chose to avoid it.

"Spirited Away" is not in a style that can compete head-on with these blockbusters, and since it is an anime movie, it still suffers from a head-to-head confrontation with real big-budget theater movies, so it was released in August and staggered reached the peak period of blockbuster fighting.

…

"The blockbusters released this summer are really good. Director Chris has been sharpening his skills for seven years, which is in sharp contrast to Lin Qiu, who is as productive as a hen!"

"Eh? Although the box office in Jiuzhou has exceeded 1 million, it doesn't seem to be a big splash in Xiazhou. I don't see many people discussing it."

"The main reason is that the popularity in Xiazhou was completely robbed by "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

"Hahahaha, you are right. The whole Internet is discussing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", just like the whole Internet was discussing Xiazhou 3A's first masterpiece "Black Wukong" some time ago. It is really awesome."

"Anyway, I bought a ticket for "Spirited Away". I have to go see the works of Old Thief and Lin Qiu no matter what."

"It just so happens that I'm a little tired from watching "Three Kingdoms" during this period. Let's relax."

With the end of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the release of "Spirited Away" has undoubtedly become another focus for Xiazhou movie fans.

Mainly, even if it is fighting in the ring and competing for Oscars, that is still a matter of "Titanic". Animation movies and Oscar awards are not closely related.

Xiazhou audiences have high expectations for "Titanic" because it is Lin Qiu's second big-budget film after "The Truman Show". In addition to last year, Lin Qiu has already won the Oscar this year. Having won two consecutive Best Picture Awards, Xiazhou audiences are naturally looking forward to a possible third consecutive win next year!

Therefore, the audience's mentality when watching "Spirited Away" is quite relaxed.

…

Spirited Away release date.

Because it is during the summer vacation, we can see that there are many children in major shopping malls. Although it is hot during the day, in the evening, the major shopping malls are crowded with people.

The works of Lao Zei and Lin Qiu are actually rarely promoted as suitable for children. They only have the animation "Digimon" that was once popular in the three eastern states, and the previous "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".

Judging from the content of "Digimon", it is indeed suitable. From this point of view, although the old thief is not a human being, he is not very good at making fun of it, so fans can feel free to bring their children to watch the movie.

"Has the old thief been focusing on this children's literature recently?"

"Hahahaha, it seems so. It is said that the old thief's new book is also suitable for teenagers under the age of 15 to read."

"Maybe I have tried writing and drawing in other fields, but I haven't tried it in juvenile books."

"But wouldn't it be too childish?"

"Whatever, let's watch it first. Look around, aren't there all adults? And let me tell you, you have watched "Digimon" more than once in the dormitory. Why didn't I watch what you said about "Digimon"? Baby "Where's the childishness?"

"Hehehehehe...too..."

Outside the theater, two male college students were discussing with each other while checking tickets.

Mainly, the children's works of the old thief are not like the traditional Xiazhou children's works. The traditional Xiazhou children's works are really childish and not suitable for those over 8 years old, especially adults.

But the old thief's children's works can be watched with gusto by even adults, who are even more addicted than children. It is no exaggeration.

As he talked, all the fans who bought the tickets for the premiere of "Spirited Away" walked into the theater one after another and sat in their seats with great anticipation. This is a sign of respect for the old thief's work!

"here we go!"

"Shh..."

Many children could be seen in the theater, and their parents put the children in their seats. Some naughty children even saw their parents making silent gestures.

I have to say that it is extremely happy for parents to take their children to watch animated movies by Lao Zei. You must know that before Lao Zei came out, they took their children to watch children's cartoons, which was simply torture.

Now they can watch "Digimon" with their children at home while watching it themselves.

The theater owners also nodded with satisfaction when they saw the endless stream of movie fans entering the theater.

Before the rise of Chang'an Film and Television Company, the theater industry was losing money, but the cake was only so big, and the cake was usually eaten by the largest shopping malls, leaving only the rest to private theaters. There's residue left.

But the rise of Chang'an Film and Television Company, Lin Qiu, Ye Zhiyuan, and Zhou Kai, produce at least three masterpieces a year, and sometimes four or five. In addition, the rise of Chang'an Film and Television Company has driven the development of the entire Xiazhou film and television industry. Talking about today’s cinema industry, it’s a hot cake!

Even if the competition is fierce, you don’t have to worry about no one coming to see it!

In the entire Qincheng, every one of the seven or eight theaters was full!

…

The lights in major theaters gradually went out.

The first feeling given to the audience is soothing. A piece of soothing music kicks off the classic animated film "Spirited Away".

"That's the feeling..."

"The feeling of two dimensions..."

"Cool……"

Even before it airs, some fans are already extremely excited.

In this stressful society, the reason why the two-dimensional world is so popular is because the audience has no pressure when enjoying it.

Even when "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was broadcast, the atmosphere was serious, which was different from animation.

Audiences have never expected the profound thoughts that anime and anime movies can bring, they just enjoy this fictional world.

In the first scene, the first thing that catches the audience's eyes is a card and a bouquet, and then a girl's face.

An unhappy face.

"Eh?"

"Is this the heroine of this anime?"

"Looks so small..."

"I'll be honest... I don't look good..."

"Hiss...it really doesn't fit in with the aesthetics of modern animation."

"Believe in the old thief's aesthetics!"

"I think it's pretty good. Maybe it's because I've seen too many two-dimensional anime faces. I even feel that many anime heroines now look the same. Except for Lao Ze's, Lao Ze's anime heroines really have their own characteristics. ”

The first time they saw Qianxun, many viewers complained in their hearts.

However, Lao Zai's aesthetics have always been online. When "The Name of the Flower" was released, many anime fans couldn't get the appearance of the heroine at the first time. However, Lao Zai's animations have always been about advancing the storyline.

Chihiro's face is very ordinary, fundamentally different from those ordinary female anime characters.

The girl's name is Qianxun, and she is just a 10-year-old fourth-grade elementary school student, similar to many children in the theater.

"This is the countryside. It feels like you have to go to the nearby town if you want to buy anything."

"I can only adapt slowly."

"Look, Chihiro, this is your new school."

"Beautiful, right?"

In the car, her parents said to Qianxun, and Qianxun did look unhappy and muttered:

"The old school is still better."

In a few simple dialogues, the story background of the characters is roughly explained.

Qianxun had to move with her parents, leaving her original school and friends, which made Qianxun quite unhappy.
