"...A new idea came by chance, and there is only a first draft at the moment."
Putting something that was obviously a draft in front of Yamada Ichiro and Matsumoto Kenji, Sun Peng smiled slightly and said: "Or to put it more simply, it is actually just a script and some design sketches. You two can take a look first.
!”
Taking a deep breath, Yamada Ichiro grabbed the pile of sketches.
It wasn't that he didn't want to read the script first, but when he saw Kenji Matsumoto's eyes that were almost shining, he obediently read the design draft first.
As for the great director, when he picked up the script, he first looked at the title: "Howl's Moving Castle?"
"Um."
Sun Peng nodded and said nothing.
Yamada Ichiro and Matsumoto Kenji also understood what he meant, and began to quickly look through the scripts and design sketches in their hands. The sketches were very simple. They were actually some design images, including characters and the steampunk-style castle. As for the
The script is much more detailed - for Sun Peng, copying the script for a movie is the least difficult thing.
Seeing the two serious expressions on their faces, Sun Peng took out his cell phone out of boredom and began to pay attention to domestic news.
There are more and more comments about the movie "Kill Bill" today. Although it has not been officially released yet, it was only shown at the premiere, but there are still hundreds of seats in the theater, except for Sun Peng.
In addition to the celebrities who came to support the show, there were also dozens of somewhat famous film critics, and almost all of them had their own Weibo accounts.
Real record reviews are definitely reserved for various print media and websites, but short reviews on Weibo have been released one after another.
"It's bloody, violent, and foul language, but it doesn't have the traditional beauty of "Dragon Inn". What is Lao Bai going to do?"
"It's hard to imagine that such a movie was actually produced by Lao Bai. Even though I know that his favorite thing is to cross borders and create a new direction, the result is too incredible."
"What does he want to express? What is the meaning of such revenge?"
"A movie made of plasma. Apart from a brief moment of relief, nothing is left in my head after watching it... Oh, by the way, the classic soundtrack is left behind, it's great!"
…
A large number of comments criticizing the movie caught Sun Peng's eyes, making him frown and feel a little uneasy. Although he had expected this situation from the beginning, he didn't care much about the domestic box office - after all
The rating system is there. But if the reputation is too bad and the box office is too bad, it will also make people unhappy!
Fortunately, after browsing for a while, Sun Peng also found some good things to say.
For example, the film critic Xiaochong, who has seen it several times before, praised "Kill Bill" and wrote on Weibo: "This is a dazzling film that can definitely bring you sensory stimulation.
Action movie! Stop bleeding with blood, stop killing with killing, Lao Bai tells the story with a bloody aesthetic of violence
For us, a movie may not have any connotation, it just wants to give you a visual feast! Of course, more importantly, the classic soundtracks, Lao Bai used his works to tell us how much a genius can be
Only if you are willful would you use these soundtracks in a movie..."
"What kind of movie would it be without music? The clichéd revenge plot, the cheesy blood and swear words, and of course the sex appeal of leather, sailor suits and kimonos. But it's all for this
The music tailor-made for a movie can actually elevate it to the level of art. I think other than Lao Bai, there is probably no director in the world who has this ability..."
"Teacher Lao Bai! Teacher Lao Bai?"
Just when Sun Peng was reading an article by a film critic named July Flower, Ichiro Yamada's voice suddenly sounded next to him. Turning around, he saw the president of Kelly Press asking with a strange expression: "Only
These? A screenplay and some design sketches?"
"Uh, yes, that's all!"
After being slightly startled, Sun Peng smiled and nodded.
He instantly understood what Yamada Ichiro meant. After all, when he came with "Spirited Away: The Hidden God", although it was very simple, he soon had a detailed design draft and more detailed shots.
Design, character setting, background introduction, etc. But this time, Sun Peng had been "preparing" for several months, but all he came up with were scripts and sketches. This made Ichiro Yamada feel strange and a little disappointed at the same time.
.
But just when he was about to say something, director Kenji Matsumoto also said: "This script... is indeed quite interesting! And the design is consistent with the style of Spirited Away."
"Haha, almost."
After blinking, Sun Peng smiled and nodded.
Both are works by Miyazaki, so the styles are of course relatively similar, and Howl's Moving Castle also grossed nearly 20 billion yen at the box office. Can it be any different?
However, Yamada Ichiro was still a little puzzled and asked: "Teacher Lao Bai, you have been thinking about it for so long, but you don't have any other ideas? For example, the soundtrack, the lens design, etc."
Subconsciously, Yamada Ichiro must be a little dissatisfied.
In particular, Sun Peng not only provided a lot of production ideas in Spirited Away, but also arranged all the soundtracks. This is the most important thing in Yamada Ichiro's opinion. To be honest, whether it is the improvement of the script or the shots,
Whether the design is good or not, Kelly Company has enough ability to do a good job, especially with a great director like Matsumoto Kenji, it is not a problem at all. So for him, Sun Peng’s soundtrack is the most important thing, and what he is most looking forward to
of.
He had been paying attention to the premiere of "Kill Bill" yesterday.
Seeing Matsumoto Kenji's eyes looking over, Sun Peng smiled casually, shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, you two, I don't plan to continue to make soundtracks for animations this time... Well, I should say that apart from what you have got now
Besides, I don’t plan to interfere in the production of this animation anymore!”
"What?!"
"Ah? Why?"
After listening to Sun Peng's words, both of them exclaimed at the same time!
The movements and expressions of the two people were almost in sync. They also straightened up suddenly, and then widened their eyes, showing a very surprised look. However, Sun Peng, who had been paying attention to them, still narrowed his eyes and discovered sensitively.
The difference in their shocked emotions!
Yamada Ichiro was shocked and anxious, obviously very disappointed with Sun Peng's decision, but the shock of the great director Matsumoto Kenji next to him was mixed with a hint of surprise and a hint of relief!
In an instant, Sun Peng guessed Matsumoto Kenji's mentality.
Without him, the performance of "Spirited Away: The Hidden God" was so good that it broke the box office record of Japanese movies in one go and completely pushed this movie to the altar! Originally, as a director, Matsumoto Kenji
It should have gained the supreme status, but because of the existence of Sun Peng, this original gain has been greatly reduced. So much so that when many media mention this animation, they first mention Lao Bai, because his name is not only
Appeared in the position of screenwriter, as well as soundtrack, planner and even director...
So after smiling slightly, Sun Peng nodded and said: "I'm sorry, because I have a lot of things to do and am very busy!"
After smiling, Sun Peng showed his big white teeth.
Although he finally decided to cooperate with the Japanese again, and still chose Kelly and Matsumoto Kenji, it does not mean that Sun Peng is willing to invest too much energy in this. You know, in addition to deciding to let himself go next year
In addition to taking a break, Sun Peng is also cooperating with the Americans and Hafei Animation on "The Lion King". That is the main direction of DreamWorks in the future!
Spirited Away is awesome, and Howl's Moving Castle is awesome, but after all, they are not the mainstream of animation in the world!
Take Howl's Moving Castle as an example. Of the more than 200 million U.S. dollars in global box office, Japan alone accounted for more than 100 million! Even with the addition of the Chinese market in this world, how much will it end up with?
But what about The Lion King?
So you can have a script, and you can take some time to make a rough sketch, but if you want Sun Peng to invest too much energy and time, don't even think about it. So no matter how surprised the two people on the other side are, and how Yamada Ichiro is
Persuasion, but Sun Peng still refused to nod. In the end, he just shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, President Yamada, but I will only provide these things for this movie! Of course, if your company agrees, I still hope that DreamWorks can
