Chapter 1480: The King of Animated Movies
In the newspapers in the past few days, there has been a lot of discussion about the 50 million huge dividend reward of Kirin Records, as well as the news that they have sold hundreds of millions of music tapes through this tour.
In Yin Jun's view, how much money can be made on the second tour is secondary.
What's more important is the diffusion of the influence of Xiangjiang singers.
The most important thing is that the people in the mainland are now very receptive to the music of Hong Kong.
Whether it's Mandarin or Cantonese, they're okay with it.
It is no wonder that the mainland is now on the right track, and there is a great lack of entertainment culture, such as Xiangjiang, which has developed music and film culture for forty or fifty years, and is leading the trend.
You read that right, the Heung Kong Entertainment in this era is definitely not only movies and TV series, they are also trend-setting in singing.
No matter how much influence the music of Japan and Ben had on Hong Kong in the previous life, this life is different.
With Yin Jun's original future songs, and a group of future songwriters invited from Treasure Island, Xiangjiang's music has already surpassed Japan's, making many Japanese musicians worship.
A single written by Yin Jun for Matsuda Seiko and Li Xiuman every year will become one of the best songs of the year, which helped the two become popular at the same time, and also made Yin Jun's prestige firmly hung on the hall of honor of Japanese and Korean music.
Now in the mainland, because the songs of Xiangjiang are so popular, the audience can sing almost all the songs in the concert, and the chorus of every concert of "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" is already a very normal reserved program.
To be honest, such a chorus of the whole audience sounds like a great enjoyment and a great honor for every singer.
Liang Xiaolong sheds tears every time and is moved.
He was originally the character of a person in the rivers and lakes, but now that he sees the compatriots in the mainland being so simple, he likes it even more, and he has the idea of making a living and wanting to do more for them.
In the previous life, it seemed to be so lively, such a carnival concert, and it would take more than ten years at this point in time.
Now that he has come ahead of schedule, it is not in vain Yin Jun's hard work.
If it weren't for the fact that the mainland has now set off a severe crackdown on crime, Yin Jun would have been eager to send a third batch of touring teams after the Spring Festival.
In the third batch of concert tours, the teenagers will come up with the people at the bottom of the box, Tan Yonglin and Chen Baixiang will be on it, maybe Yin Jun can coax Zhang Guorong to come over and participate in a few shows.
Of course, this is just a matter of thinking about it.
All ideas that are divorced from the facts are very unnecessary.
Not to mention that the mainland is now super strictly controlled, and it is a question whether this kind of concert event of tens of thousands of people can be approved.
Just with the consumption power of mainland people, three concerts in a year is a great squeeze on their wallets.
In terms of the enthusiasm for chasing stars, I have not been completely conquered by the stars of Xiangjiang, I am not used to watching their TV series and movies, and without these all-round blessings, just three concerts a year is also a kind of destruction.
Even in 2020, if a person who likes music goes to see seven or eight concerts within a year, he will be bored.
Concerts three or four, five or six times a year are more reasonable.
A concert is different from watching a football game, you can watch a football game every week, and you can watch it with a different team, but if you want to watch a concert, you can't watch it every week. It's like watching a movie, you always have to brew a burst of emotions before you have the motivation to watch it.
And that was nearly 40 years later.
Today's people have not formed their concepts, or they can be cultivated better than in their previous lives in the future, but they are definitely not now.
Two or three years later, when the mainland cracked down on all kinds of crimes, achieved great results, and began to focus on the economy, it was also the time when Xiangjiang films were blooming more and more.
At that time, no matter how actively you used TV dramas, movies, variety shows and music, the four killer features, to conquer the entertainment market in the mainland, it was called a matter of course.
……
Two days ago, Toshio Suzuki, the editor-in-chief of Kirin Semi-Monthly, called Yin Jun and told him that he would bring someone who might change the world of manga.
Yin Jun didn't have to think about it, he knew who Toshio Suzuki was going to bring.
Who else is there besides Hitomoto's best animation genius?
Or it can be a little exaggerated to say that he should be the number one animation genius in the world, because he uses the essence of animation to contribute one classic after another to all of us.
In his animation, you understand life, but it is full of expectations for beauty.
This is the essential difference between Miyazaki's cartoons and those cartoons in the United States.
Many people even believe that only Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons are real cartoons.
Yin Jun knew that Miyazaki had submitted his "Valley of the Wind" comics to "Kirin Semi-Monthly" from the very beginning.
After about two years of publication, "Valley of the Wind" became one of the top three manga in "Kirin Semi-Monthly".
Miyazaki certainly didn't come for the Nausicau manga itself.
Looking at the time, it should be time for Hayao Miyazaki to direct his first animated film in the true sense of the word and start his own open life.
This comic book movie is naturally the "Valley of the Wind" he is painting now.
Many people don't know that in fact, Hayao Miyazaki drew manga from the beginning, basically the same as Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda.
It's just that his talent in animated films is more prominent, so it hides his comic talent.
In fact, in addition to the first "Lupin III" series of big movies, starting from "Valley of the Wind", all the animations he produced, the main characters, scenes, etc., were drawn by him himself, and the characters, animals, etc., that everyone saw were all Miyazaki's own works.
Because of this, all of Miyazaki's films have a soul and can express Miyazaki's own thoughts to the greatest extent.
Yin Jun likes Miyazaki's animated films very much, this kind of art itself has transcended the boundaries of countries, and it will not make Chinese people deliberately think that Miyazaki is a Japanese himself.
And it is also important to note that Hayao Miyazaki is a well-known X faction who leans towards China, which is the same as Tokuma Yasuku.
In fact, Hayao Miyazaki and his group, including Toshio Suzuki, Isao Takahata, and Jean Hisaishi, all belong to this faction.
Otherwise, Hayao Miyazaki would not have publicly shouted to the then Minister of Cabinet X in 2013 and asked him to apologize to China and South Korea for the xxx issue.
is so talented, and can also have a heartfelt goodwill to Huaguo, then such a day, I should be well cultivated!
In the first two years, Yin Jun also endured it, and did not force himself to disturb Miyazaki's development trajectory, but he was worried that his interference would change the fate of such a film master.
For a genius master like Miyazaki, there is no need for Yin Jun to give him any guidance and help at all, just by himself.
Not to mention that when Miyazaki painted "Valley of the Wind", he was already about 40 years old, and his personality and values had already been formed.
What he needs now, or the reason why Toshio Suzuki brought Miyazaki over, is just for Yin Jun to support his dream of an animated film.
After all, in this world, Yin Jun is not only a great screenwriter, a great filmmaker, but also has the world's best animated film production team - Disney.
Today's Miyazaki is not the master that Disney looks up to, so if he wants to make animated films, he must also hope to learn from some of the strengths of others.
Of course, Miyazaki is not without experience, as he was the art director of Takahata 15 years ago, when he made his first animated film.
And Hayao Miyazaki made the second animated movie of "Lupin III" 4 years ago, but this movie is derived from comics, scripts or something, and post-editing or something, he can't interject.
In this way, the film made according to the factory model has no soul at all, so its quality is not high, and the box office is even lower.
After the box office fiasco of "Lupin III", Miyazaki took this as an insult and vowed that he would never make such a movie again.
So in Miyazaki's own mouth, "Valley of the Wind" was his first film.
……
Yin Jun thought back to the matter of Hayao Miyazaki, as well as the matter of Studio Ghibli, and before he knew it, it had reached the agreed time.
The door to the small conference room opened, and Toshio Suzuki walked in with a man with black hair and glasses.
Yin Jun glanced at it, Miyazaki was not as handsome as he was with white hair and a white beard, and he was still the coolest in an apron.
The current middle-aged version of Hayao Miyazaki is a bit like a simple and harmless uncle, no different from the people he meets on the street.
"Mr. Yin!"
Toshio Suzuki took Hayao Miyazaki and used the etiquette that he was most accustomed to, and bowed and greeted him when he came in.
"Mr. Suzuki, Mr. Miyazaki, you have come from afar, and you have worked hard!" Yin Jun smiled, shook hands with them, and said, "Please be seated." ”
"Uh......"
The two looked at each other.
Miyazaki couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Yin, ...... How did you know me?"
"I've seen Mr. Miyazaki's Lupin the Third, and I've seen your Valley of the Wind. Yin Jun said, "Compared with other people's works, I like the artistic conception you express in "Valley of the Wind". When I saw the first single book, I thought that this manga should be made into an animated film. ”
Hayao Miyazaki was directly speechless.
He turned his head to look at Toshio Suzuki, and the meaning in his eyes was "I'm convinced, he's really a genius."
Toshio Suzuki smiled, took Miyazaki and sat down on the sofa, and said, "Mr. Yin, your idea is actually very consistent with the purpose of our coming here this time. I brought Miyazaki to meet you precisely because I wanted to animate this "Valley of the Wind". ”
"Yes. ”
Yin Jun's answer was still so simple, so that a lot of the words prepared by the two of them couldn't be said.
This time, not only Miyazaki, but even Toshio Suzuki himself has an illusory sense that "happiness came too easily, and people can't believe it".
If he didn't know Yin Jun's personality, Toshio Suzuki would have felt that Yin Jun was lying.
"Mr. Miyazaki, what kind of animation are you going to make?" Yin Jun tilted his head and asked, "Is it going to be a Astro Boy or a A Lion King?"
"The Lion King, of course. Hayao Miyazaki said without thinking.
"Astro Boy" is a classic work of Osamu Tezuka, and he invented the method of rapid animation.
"The Lion King" is Disney's classic 2D animation, which took more than a year and a team of hundreds of people to produce.
Yin Jun used "Astro Boy" and "The Lion King" to make a comparison, and Miyazaki immediately understood and made a choice.
It's also natural.
If Miyazaki had been making 24-minute episodes, there would have been no future great animator.
Although Miyazaki's cartoons do not have the same details as Makoto Shinkai, and there are no stunning picture quality effects, the various tones, atmosphere rendering, character movements and expressions of his animations are ...... The more important spiritual connotation is far more than that of Makoto Shinkai.
So even if Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name" surpassed "Spirited Away" at the global box office fifteen years later, no one felt that Makoto Shinkai surpassed Hayao Miyazaki.
Even Makoto Shinkai himself never dared to have the slightest thought like this.
Hayao Miyazaki represents that spiritual connotation, which Japan did not have before and will not have in the future.
With his thoughts flickering, Yin Jun asked, "What are you going to do?"
After such a conversation, Miyazaki has been a little prepared for Yin Jun's conversation style.
Hearing this, he came up with his own plan, "If I can, I want to work at Disney for half a year, and then come back and start working on "Valley of the Wind." I would like Mr. Suzuki to be the general manager and Mr. Isao Takahata to be the producer. If you can have 100 million yen for the production cost, I would be very grateful. ”
After a pause, Miyazaki said: "Half of the copyright of "Valley of the Wind" belongs to your company. If it loses money and can't make money, I don't receive any director's remuneration, and I don't want all the income from overseas distribution, videotapes, and peripheral products. I'll talk about it until I'm back at the beginning. ”
"Good. ”
Yin Jun smiled, "Disney, you can bring your own team over, I promise they will be as open to you as possible." As for your other requests, there is no problem. I'm willing to give you 200 million yen for the production cost, and I only have one request, to put all your strength into it, and you must make this movie well. ”
Hayao Miyazaki is already forty years old.
But hearing this, he couldn't help but be excited, stood up and bowed again.
"Mr. Yin, I will definitely burn my life with all my strength to do it well!"
