Chapter 404. 'Spirited Away' (4000 words)

Shankan Yama really felt that Higashinoji couldn't figure it out, or that the other party was just joking about himself seriously.

No matter how you think about it, you can't make this decision suddenly.

But what happened next was very straightforward and subverted her idea.

Higashinoji really called several giants in Higashino Studio, namely Yano Ryuichi, Seo Daigo... and Hosokawa Koharu were called over and mixed up.

"Are you really going to make an original animated movie?"

Looking at Higashinoji who was talking to Yano Ryuichi and the others, Chiashi Yamaguchi swallowed.

Until now, she realized that she knew very little about Higashiji, a young man.

When others digging wells, they pay attention to steady development. They must go into three, and then dig wells to continue to seek steady development.

It's different when it comes to Higashinoji.

He had to enter three or four hundred meters and wanted to finish all the wells in one day...

This is simply.

but...

But Chiaki Yama felt indescribable in the young man Higashinoji.

She had an inexplicable feeling that the other party could really do it.

...Not talking about the idea of ​​Qianxia in the mountains.

On the other hand, Hosokawa Koharu and the others were stunned for a long time after hearing Higashinoji's proposal to make an original animated movie.

I was stunned for a long time.

Even what Higashinoji said later, they didn't hear clearly.

This is indeed a bit rude.

but...

"Teacher Higashino, isn't this step too big?"

As Higashinoji's right-hand man, Yano Ryuichi was the one who has been with him the longest in Higashino Studio and the one who knows him the most.

But even he, at this time, he heard the original animated movie that Higashinoji said... he frowned and asked.

This step is indeed too big.

Although Higashino Studio has produced two animation works that won the Ji Guan, there are only two works.

It is completely different from a large company like Tokyo Animation. They have enough experience to make a theatrical movie.

What experience do they have?

There is only experience in making two animations.

There is a big gap between animated movies and animations!

Can Higashino Studio have that kind of strength?

For example, people who just learned to leave want to challenge running.

This step is really too big, and it may even hurt yourself.

But none of these are the most critical...

The most important thing is-

"Taiwano, let alone whether Tono Studio has the ability to produce original animated films, the most important thing is the script story of the animated film."

Hosokawa Koharu has also worked with many investors, and of course he understands what is the most important thing in making original animation films.

Rather, it needs to be divided into three points.

The first point is production funds, which are natural and nothing can be done without money.

And of course there is no need to mention this first point. It is absolutely no problem for Higashinoji to make money over the years to invest in making an animated movie.

Then the second point is talent and production strength.

Today, Dongye Studio is still quite immature, but its strength has been recognized by many people. It is probably no problem to make animated movies.

Then the third point is the production cycle and time.

This is even more important.

Now that the schedule for "Unnatural Death" has ended, Higashino Studio is in its free time and has enough time to make animated movies.

Since all the above points have been overcome.

Then the most important thing next is the original animation plot story.

And this...is also the most important of all the priorities.

Whether it is looking for a voice actor or creating a protagonist's character... the script is a must.

"I remember Mr. Higashino was a scriptwriter? Did you have any research on script writing?" Seo Dago asked curiously.

He had watched the "Midnight Bell" animated movie version produced by Higashinoji and Tokyo Animation, and naturally he knew that the other party had experience as a scriptwriter.

but...

The situation is completely different.

At that time, Higashinoji's "Midnight Bell" animated movie was supported by the story of the original manga.

Seo Daigo has never seen Higashinoji's original animation film script creation ability.

But considering that the other party is now one of the Japanese comic masters... he is also a little curious.

However, Higashinoji's next sentence broke his fantasy.

I saw Higashinoji shaking his head and saying, "I don't have the experience of writing original animated movie scripts."

Cough cough cough cough cough...

Looking at Higashinoji's smile, Seo Daigo and the others didn't even know why the other party could still laugh.

Want to challenge original animated movies without experience?

Isn't this nonsense?

This is not how the castles in the sky are built.

Even if you are a genius, you can't be so willful-

But Higashinoji seemed to be willing to act today.

He noticed what Yano Ryuichi and the others thought, but continued indifferently: "But I already have some ideas about original animated movies."

"Have some ideas..."

Seo Daigo couldn't help but curl his lips as he heard this.

As the editor-in-chief, he has heard many comic authors say this.

This is equivalent to painting a big cake, and it is not convincing at all.

After all, the thing about "ideas" is something that everyone can have. Without formal book planning, "ideas" are nothing.

Higashinoji obviously knew this, and he did not continue to talk about this topic, but just said with a smile:

"I will take out the first half of the story tomorrow and discuss it later."

Yes, I'd just have to work hard for a night to take out the things I took out and come and discuss with them later.

"Okay, I get it."

As for Higashinoji's particularly unreliable words, Seo Daigo and the others nodded without thinking.

After all, Higashinoji is the largest in Higashino Studio.

At most, they are partners who work under Higashinoji. It is okay to give suggestions, but interfere with Higashinoji's decision-making... that would be too arrogant.

"Yano San, do you think the original animated movies mentioned by Mr. Higashino are reliable?"

Seo Daigo couldn't help but ask Yano Ryuichi beside him.

He felt it wasn't reliable anyway.

Higashinoji wanted to write a story that convinced him in one night? And it was a story about an original animated movie?

This is too joking.

He is the editor-in-chief of Iwatsuki Publishing House.

The eyes are only high and not low.

He has also seen countless excellent stories.

It was just one night... I wanted to come up with a story that made him feel good and well-written - it was too difficult.

Yano Ryu shook his head when he heard Seo Daigo's question.

He and Seo Daigo had the same opinion.

Excellent works must be carefully crafted by the author for a long time, forgetting to eat and sleep, and finally crafted carefully before they can be produced.

Just something to prepare for one night...

Don't say anything else.

I guess I can't figure out the settings or story structure at that time?

So... Compared to him...

Yano Ryuichi was actually even more curious about what Hosokawa Koharu thought: "Editor-in-chief Hosokawa has been working with Higashino for three years. What do you think?"

That's right.

If you really want to say that you have been with Higashinoji for the longest time and the oldest qualification.

There is no doubt that it is Hosokawa Koharu.

As the editor-in-chief of Higashinoji, she must be the one among them who knows Higashinoji's situation the best.

"Hey? Me?"

Suddenly asked a question, Koharu Hosokawa raised his head and replied subconsciously: "Oh... I think Mr. Higashino should be fine."

"ah?"

This answer made Yano Ryuichi and Seo Daigo stop and look at Hosokawa Koharu incredibly.

Because of this answer from Hosokawa Koharu...

Isn't it too confident?

Yes...it's too confident.

I even felt a little blindly following.

Mr. Higashino is indeed the leading manga master in Japan, and many fine mangas have been born.

But... I took out a fine original animation script in one night?

Isn't this a joke?

Of course, Seo Daigo and the others would definitely not say that, but just smiled and said, "Editor Hosokawa is really amazing. So what is the basis?"

"In fact, this is not the first time that Mr. Higashino is like this. "Unnatural Death" only took two weeks to draw the original manuscript of comics, and "Hanzawa Naoki" only took one week to draw the original manuscript of comics... This is my basis."

Hosokawa Koharu answered the two questions calmly: "Teacher Higashino's story creation ability surprises me every time."

Well...

Hearing this, Seo Dago and the others were all a little lost.

Drawing a national-level work like "Unnatural Death" in two weeks?

A week-long painting appeared in the popular "Naoki Hansawa"?

No... Is it necessary to think about whether Higashinoji draws comics without drafting it?

As we all know, after a cartoonist completes a serialized comic, it usually takes several months, six months, one year, etc. to come up with the next work.

Isn't this span of Higashinoji too big?

Don't want to do a month? Just follow the week? And it's getting shorter and shorter?

This is really...

Seo Daigo and Yano Ryuichi looked at each other, and their original firm thoughts were a little shaken.

If you really have this kind of plot conception ability...

Maybe Shima Higashino can write the original animation script one night?

The three of them were a little curious.

Teacher Higashino...

Is it OK?

......

Higashinoji obviously doesn't know how to read minds, so he naturally doesn't understand what Seo Dago and Yano Ryuichi were thinking.

He just calmed down for a while and then turned on the computer.

Typing the title on the computer document.

《千と千尋の神隠し》.

Looking at this long list of Japanese characters, someone may not know the name of the animated movie.

But if it is mentioned in Chinese translation, many people will probably know it.

This is Miyazaki's "Spirited Away".

Perhaps many people have discovered that this title is much simpler than the Japanese title above.

This is because the Chinese translation does not translate the word "Shen Yin" into it.

Higashinoji believes that the Chinese translation of the name "Shenyin" probably has no special meaning, probably because the Celestial Empire does not understand the word "Shenyin".

If the title is translated literally as "The mysterious disappearance of Chihiro" will feel a little worse, losing its original cultural significance, and having more suspense, it is not easy to read.

However, as the local customs were followed, Higashinoji thought about it and still maintained the original title - "Sheng and Chiaki".

When it comes to "Spirited Away", someone may think of its honors that come one after another.

The 75th Academy Award for Best Animation Feature Film, the 52nd Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award, the No. 1 in Japanese film history, the most popular animated film...

In Higashinoji's previous life, "Spirited Away" dominated the box office of Japan with a box office of 301 billion yen for 19 years. It was not until the movie "Demon Slayer: Blade" was released later that it was pulled from the top throne.

A full nineteen years.

The whole of Japan is dominated by such an animated movie.

From this point, we can also see how high the level of "Spirited Away" was in Japan at that time.

Put aside these digitized things.

Let’s take a look at what is hidden deep in "Spirited Away".

This animated film was originally a work in Japan that was known as "what is worth watching for both the elderly and the children".

The child naturally watches the fantasy god in "Spirited Away". The short-haired heroine Chihiro, who has a simple and kind personality, strong and brave personality, and goes through fire and water for her friends.

The elderly see more broadly.

What they value more is the hint of Japan's loss due to the "bubble economy" in "Spirited Away".

This can be seen from the original title of "Spirited Away".

‘Shen Yin’ means being hidden by ghosts and gods because they violate ghosts and gods, and they are lost in direction - this is what it means to imply those Japanese who are lost because of the bubble economy.

It was as if Chihiro's parents saw the words of the food in the empty hotel: "I'll just pay if someone comes here."

This concept of "credit" that enjoys first and pays later is the root cause of Japan's bubble economy becoming completely lost.

In other words, "Spirited Away" is not just an animated film that portrays the Chihiro family's family being hidden and lost.

More of the film is actually based on the Chihiro family, which reflects that many people in Japan are still in the lost stage after the Japanese bubble economy.

And this is the finishing touch of "Spirited Away".

Many people say that after watching "Spirited Away", there is always a complex feeling.

In fact, it is not just Chihiro's parents in the play.

I am actually in a state of "lost" in the movie.

At a young age, I was carrying a mortgage loan and worried about the bride price of one or two yuan every day, wandering between the two points and one lines of the company and the family... I looked up and couldn't see the future, and I couldn't see the toes...

Everyone is lost.

The faceless man in the animation is the same... He forgot his original appearance, confused, cold, lonely, and easily affected and assimilated...

Many young people today are also faceless men?

And it is this strong resonance and an inexplicable sense of loss...

It is more popular to love the kind, strong and fearless Chihiro in "Spirited Away".

This is undoubtedly ironic and contradictory.

I am obviously a faceless man.

But he longs to be the brave Chihiro.
