Section 140
"That's enough." Spielberg nodded, "I already have the outline of the story, let my team take over."
"Um... I think this issue needs to be discussed further." Amanozaki held back a sentence.
"What? Are you not happy that I changed your script? Then don't ask me. Just go to Hollywood and find a pheasant director to help you with the scenes!"
Amanozaki rubbed his nose and blew out two blasts of cold air without saying anything.
Although the translation has paid great attention to tone, Amanozaki still knows the words starting with F and D.
He knew that the old guy was scolding him, but he couldn't do it.
At this time, Lin Shuyu, who had disappeared without knowing when, came up with Kangna in his arms. He approached the two of them with a smile on his face like a spring breeze. He pointed his finger back and spoke a gentle foreign language to his lips: "That's not what Amanozaki meant. It's a fact." It’s not just you, the management also feels that this book is a bit petty, so we plan to discuss how to change it.”
"Well, everyone is here. I'm just waiting for you to say a few words to everyone."
So the ambitious Spielberg calmed down his aura, straightened his clothes, and asked Karenina whether she was dressed appropriately and what her mental outlook was. After receiving the approval from the young mature woman, she glanced at Amanozaki. :
"Follow me closely, the director's operations will never be mastered by an outsider in his lifetime."
When the two entered the cabin, there was a burst of lively compliments. Lin Shuyu came over and helped Amanozaki smooth down his sleeves and button them up. Kangna also helped Amanozaki straighten his tie. Li Junzi could see clearly in the captain's cabin. , I thought that this scene, even if my own teacher saw it, would only say that it was a happy family of three.
So he slapped his thigh: "The eldest brother is the eldest brother! The harem is harmonious and not chaotic, it's really awesome!"
But the two of them were not talking to each other, but were discussing seriously.
"After discussing the on-site storyboarding, is it too late? Do you need the help of a screenwriter to turn it into a script?" Lin Shuyu's palms were full of sweat, and when they brushed against Amanozaki's wrists, they felt wet.
Amanozaki turned over two gems with his fingers: "As long as the government and Spielberg don't argue, I can finish the storyboard in thirty minutes. What about you? Are you sure you can learn the technique from him? He said, the director The skills are not something that an outsider can learn. There are so many equipments, the ability to control the scene, arranging actors, and setting up camera positions, which is very troublesome. "
Lin Shuyu smiled lightly, covering his mouth with the back of his hand to prevent his teeth from being exposed. His dark eyebrows were curved into green mountains, and his eyes were curved into crescents, with ripples of light rippling in them:
"What's the point? No matter how difficult the scheduling is, can it be difficult to deal with the construction site? Can it be difficult to deal with the material rationing and combat configuration of large and small fleets? Can it be difficult to negotiate with seven or eight sub-rudders at the same time? Arrangements for camera positions and actors can only be learned by rote memorization in a few days. It’s hard to say what inspiration is. It’s not something that [Heaven and Man] can learn. It’s up to you.”
Amanozaki also smiled when he heard this, but compared to Lin Shuyu's restraint, his face was much more unrestrained, and two rows of neat teeth were exposed:
"What I don't lack most is inspiration."
When it comes to what themes are the most popular in Japanese animation after the millennium, after 2012, it is naturally Isekai. Bone King, Moe King, Isekai Custom Girl, Shield Hero, new programs every quarter, Isekai are all on the list. famous.
But before 2012, super power series, especially those with super power themes, were the real kings.
"Lelouch of the Rebellion", "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", "fate/zreo", "Sky Realm", "A Certain Magical Index", "Full Metal Panic"...
The dramas and comics in Amanozaki's mind can create a new world where gods and demons dance wildly.
What's more, if Japanese comics are not enough, Chinese comics, American comics, and American movies can also be copied.
Who doesn't know how to be a copywriter? He can make just one Marvel movie series for several years.
That is authentic Armenian positive energy!
"Nozaki, it seems we've finished talking inside."
Kangna's hands dipped in sugar water tugged on Amanozaki's collar, and flapped her ridged little ears a few times to help complete the eavesdropping.
Lin Shuyu pinched Kangna's young nose and praised her cutely: "Kangna is so amazing! Can you hear clearly from across the cabin?"
"Mere steel is no match for the dragon!"
Kangna imitated an adult and folded her arms, holding her head high and shaking her head:
"Kanna, that's amazing!"
Amanozaki also bent down and came close to Kangna, their noses touched lightly: "Then please tell me Kangna, what did these people say?"
"Then turn your ear and I'll whisper to you."
Chapter 160: The Charm of Otherworldly Art and Magic
After Amanozaki entered the cabin on the first floor, he found that the layout here had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The most intuitive feeling is that the space becomes wider.
This was originally a lounge or meeting room, a place where marine policemen on patrol or on duty could take a short break or hold briefings.
Nowadays, the sofas, tables and chairs, even the drinking fountains and green plants here have all been cleared out. A few large cardboard boxes with hardened spray paint on the surface are put together to form a table. A group of middle-aged people with calm and kind expressions, but with an extraordinary aura around them. He sat at the table and listened to Spielberg's nagging.
"You came just in time. I have summarized everyone's opinions."
Spielberg came over excitedly, stroked Amanozaki's back with one hand, and kindly led him into the crowd.
The director was completely excited, his mind was filled with the script, and he didn't care that he was "kidnapped" at all.
Amanozaki was guided by a foreigner and looked at each other in confusion with the Chinese people around him.
"This is from the Propaganda Department. He led the watch department to convey the message, hoping to promote the power of China in the movie."
"This is from the army. What he means is that he hopes to show more of the strength and technical level of the army. It would be better if there is a hot scene of the fight between Junwu and Queen Fish. If he agrees, Dongting and Huangshan will share the helm. Military forces can provide machine support.”
"This is from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education. They hope that the movie can adhere to its consistent policy and bring positive energy to moviegoers."
Positive energy... When Amanozaki heard the familiar words, he raised his head, looked at each other awkwardly with the representative opposite, and smiled at each other.
‘This foreigner is really stupid. You and your secretary are the only ones here who don’t know Chinese. What are you still introducing here? Putting it here will increase the workload, right? ’
The most outrageous thing is that these representatives are not officials, but various companies and consortiums that have signed contracts with Amanosaki. Some of the representatives sent this time are the same people who met at the soup house last time, and Amanosaki has met them once.
Think about it, there are so many movies in China every year, even if this time they are directed by international directors, they are not as important as the execution of the extermination order.
These people came here on behalf of their own companies and consortiums, and at the same time conveyed the will of various national departments. But Spielberg mistakenly believed that he had received considerable attention and had deep connections with China's state machinery.
For the sake of face, everyone remained silent, no one wanted to expose his fantasy.
After a lot of words, Spielberg finally stopped. He smacked his lips and said in relief: "Do you think it is difficult to integrate it? It's okay, we will help..."
Spielberg, who was chattering because of his excitement, felt as if his throat was being strangled. His voice suddenly rose and then fell silent.
Because Amanozaki has already started working on a new storyboard.
He took out the pencil from his pocket, broke it into five pieces, sharpened the lead, took out the agate stone, and carefully spliced it together.
Spielberg watched circuit board-like lines emerge from Amanozaki's hands, spreading from his hands to agate and pencil, and then finalized.
Amanozaki placed the automatic pen with the magic engraved on it on the paper, turned to Spielberg and said, "Are there any other requirements?"
"Well...it's gone for now."
"good."
Amanozaki smiled slightly and said, "Wait a moment."
As he stood up, Lin Shuyu turned the tablet sideways, and Amanozaki was slightly lost in thought while looking at the various requirements she recorded.
"Can I take it? It's too much to ask for. Why don't we discuss losing some weight?"
"No, that's just right. I've already thought of it."
Amanozaki released his magic power, and all five pens started to move.
"Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" is indeed difficult to carry the grand narrative of the main theme.
If it is positioned as a commercial movie, it completely adopts the narrative mode of Chinese main theme movies, but it is a bit rigid.
However, the active commercial competition on earth has allowed all countries to create movie types with their own cultural characteristics.
When it comes to the most ruthless integration of cultural propaganda into movies globally, you have to look at old American and popcorn movies.
I saw the pencil brushing out lines and forming shadows, attracting everyone's attention.
It was a group of buildings drawn in pencil, covering half of the mountain, full of the rough, hard smell of metal and concrete. A huge white dragon, with the assistance of a helicopter, projects strong light on the black tide.
Confronted with White Dragon. It was a huge king fish and a community of four-clawed fish like the ocean tide.
Just countless parallel straight lines vividly display the confrontation between man and monster, dragon and king fish.
The same scene was staged on five pieces of manuscript paper, and Amanozaki, as the creator, was holding a tablet at this time, listening to Lin Shu's retelling and correction of all Party A's needs using "Heaven and Man", without caring about the storyboard at all. What the script looks like.
Ordinary people can embody the things in their minds by coding, drawing, performing, etc. Therefore, using extraordinary power to "print" the images in the user's mind is not magic, but magic.
Yes, not painting, but copying the images in my mind.
In fact, using magic to create images in your mind is much cheaper than "teaching" magic pen painting skills and then creating.
The difference is probably the same as that between a copier and smart AI painting.
But even so, for Spielberg, this is an incredible ability.
He looked at Amanozaki with bright eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
In his eyes, Amanozaki is no longer a person, but a combination of multiple things.
That is a computer that runs special effects, a self-propelled team storyboard creation machine.
Especially when Spielberg asked other people around him and saw Amanozaki’s unique style of vertical paintings and short stories with strong aesthetics through their mobile phones.
Amanozaki's status in his heart rose to an unparalleled status.
For a director, a person who can turn what everyone is discussing into a mature storyboard on the spot, reduce financial expenses, and can also use 'physical' means to improve the film and television effects, is more useful than any other superpower.
He rubbed his hands, squatted and looked at the storyboard carefully, and made up his mind to bring Amanozaki into his team.
Because he directly manipulated the five magic pens, the actual time to create the storyboard was not 30 minutes. Amanozaki completed the second version of the storyboard in about ten minutes.
"Everyone, take a look."
Amanozaki and Lin Shuyu spread out the storyboards on the hardened cardboard according to the page numbers. The first thing the management representatives saw were three bold characters.
Around the river.
It not only needs a giant dragon fighting a queenfish, but also needs to show the power of the army, highlight the strength of China, and simply insert the brand of capital.
Amanozaki gave up the idea of modifying "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" and instead adopted a more commercial script based on the near future, the city, and the American movie "Pacific Rim", which was deeply influenced by Japanese comics and special effects such as Ultraman and "EVA".
It's just that the "Monster Hunter" was replaced by Kanna, and the monster was replaced by a four-clawed scale fish.
"If the city is used as the background, the advertisement can be directly inserted into the neon lights of the city, and the city landscape can be displayed through a slow motion of more than ten seconds, while inserting the advertisement."
Amanozaki said to several representatives of the capital party who requested advertisements.
Their demand is not excessive. The advertising demand is based on the original contract and promised to increase investment in exchange. It does not need hard advertising like Shuhua Milk in "Transformers".
Amanosaki took a large piece of kraft paper from Lin Shuyu and stood it up. Five pens floated in the air, quickly sketching a city night scene with a sense of cyber technology. Dense landmark buildings were lined up one after another, and the deep and shallow shadows marked the lights. Several billboards stood in the middle, rendering the city's lights and wine with their own characteristics.
The representatives nodded gently. They may not understand movies and art, but Amanosaki's intuitive on-site drawing, the service method without waiting, and the high-quality output made them very enjoyable.
This is a feeling that everything is under control. The waiting time means uncertainty. The design plan was reworked because a satisfactory plan could not be obtained on site.
