“…… A new idea by chance, and there is only one first draft at the moment. ”

Putting something that was obviously a draft in front of Ichiro Yamada and Kenji Matsumoto, Sun Peng smiled slightly and said: "Or to put it more simply, it's actually just a script and some design sketches, you two can take a look at it first!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Ichiro Yamada grabbed the stack of sketches.

It's not that he doesn't want to read the script first, but when he saw Kenji Matsumoto's almost glowing eyes, he obediently looked at the design first.

As for the great director, when he grabbed the script, he first looked at the name: "Howl's Moving Castle? ”

"Hmm."

Nodding, Sun Peng did not speak.

Ichiro Yamada and Kenji Matsumoto also understood what he meant, and began to quickly look through the script and design sketches in their hands. The sketch is very simple, in fact, it is just some design images, including the characters and the steampunk-style castle, and the script is much more detailed - for Sun Peng, picking up the script for the movie is the least difficult thing.

Looking at the serious looks of the two of them, Sun Peng took out his mobile phone boredly and began to pay attention to the domestic news.

Comments about the movie "Kill Bill" are slowly increasing today. Although it has not been officially released yet, it was only shown at the premiere, but there are hundreds of seats in the theater, in addition to the stars who cheered for Sun Peng, there are dozens of film critics who are somewhat famous, and almost all of them have their own Weibo.

The real record reviews are definitely left to various print media and websites, but the short reviews on Weibo are fresh out.

"Bloody, violent, foul-mouthed, but without the traditional beauty of "Dragon Gate Inn", what is Lao Bai going to do?"

"It's hard to imagine that such a movie is actually from Lao Bai, even if I know that his favorite thing is to cross borders and create a new direction, but this result is too unbelievable."

What exactly is he trying to say? What is the point of such revenge? ”

"Except for a brief period of relaxation, there is nothing left in my head after watching a movie that is piled up with plasma...... Oh yes, that classic soundtrack was left, super awesome! ”

……

A large number of comments criticizing the movie caught Sun Peng's eyes, which made him frown and feel a little uneasy. Although he expected this situation from the beginning, he didn't care much about the domestic box office - after all, the classification system was there. But if the reputation is too bad and the box office is too bad, it will be unpleasant!

Fortunately, after looking through it for a while, Sun Peng also found some good words.

For example, the film critic Xiao Worm, who he had watched several times before, praised "Kill Bill" and wrote on Weibo: "This is a dazzling action movie that will definitely stimulate your senses!" Stop bleeding with blood, stop killing with killing, Lao Bai uses a bloody violent aesthetics to tell us that a movie may not need any connotation, it is to give you a visual feast! Of course, more importantly, the classic soundtracks, Lao Bai used his works to tell us how willful a genius can be to use these soundtracks in a movie......"

"What kind of film would this be without music? Corny revenge plots, cheesy plasma and foul mouth, and of course, sexiness piled up with leather suits, sailor suits, and kimonos. But with music that is completely tailored for this film, it can be elevated to the level of art, and I don't think there is a director in the world who has the ability to do so, except for Lao Bai......"

"Teacher Bai! Teacher Lao Bai? ”

Just when Sun Peng was reading the article of a film critic named Qiyuehua, Yamada Ichiro's voice suddenly sounded beside him. Turning his head to look, he saw that the president of the Kelly Club had a strange expression and asked, "Is that all?" A script and some design sketches? ”

"Uh, yes, that's all!"

Slightly stunned, Sun Peng smiled and nodded.

He instantly understood what Ichiro Yamada meant, after all, when he came with "Spirited Away's Hide" before, although it was also very simple, but then he soon had a detailed design draft, as well as more detailed lens design, character settings and background introductions, etc. But this time, Sun Peng has been "preparing" for several months, but only the script and sketches are brought out, which can't help but make Ichiro Yamada feel strange and a little disappointed.

But just when he wanted to say something, director Kenji Matsumoto also spoke: "This script ...... It's really interesting! And the design drawings and Spirited Away's style are also in the same vein. ”

"Hehe, almost."

Blinking, Sun Peng smiled and nodded.

are all works of Miyazaki Okami, of course, they are relatively similar in style, and Howl's Moving Castle is also a box office of nearly 20 billion yen, can it be worse?

However, Yamada Ichiro was still a little puzzled and asked, "Teacher Bai, you have been thinking about it for so long, and you don't have some other ideas?" For example, the soundtrack, and the shot design, etc.? ”

Subconsciously, Ichiro Yamada must be a little unsatisfied.

In particular, Sun Peng not only provided a lot of production ideas in Spirited Away, but also took care of all the soundtracks, which is the most important thing in Yamada's opinion. To be honest, whether it is the perfection of the script or the design of the shots, Kelly Club has enough ability to do it well, especially with a big director like Kenji Matsumoto, which is not a problem at all. So for him, Sun Peng's soundtrack is the most important thing, and it is also what he is looking forward to the most.

Yesterday's premiere of "Kill Bill", he has been paying attention to it.

Seeing Kenji Matsumoto's gaze also look over, Sun Peng smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry for the two, this time I don't plan to continue to make the soundtrack for the animation...... Well, I should say that I don't plan to meddle in the production of this anime anymore other than what you have now! ”

"What?!"

"Huh? Why? ”

After listening to Sun Peng's words, the two of them exclaimed at the same time!

The movements and expressions of the two were almost synchronized, and they also straightened up suddenly, and then their eyes widened, and they put on a look of surprise and very cinematic looks. But Sun Peng, who had been paying attention to them, still narrowed his eyes, and sensitively noticed the difference in their shocked emotions!

Ichiro Yamada was shocked and anxious, obviously very disappointed in Sun Peng's decision, but the shock of the great director Kenji Matsumoto next to him was mixed with a hint of surprise and a hint of relief!

In an instant, Sun Peng guessed Kenji Matsumoto's mentality.

Without him, the results of "Spirited Away's Hidden Spirit" are so good that they broke the box office record in Japan in one go, and also pushed this movie to the altar completely! Originally, as a director, Kenji Matsumoto should have achieved supremacy, but because of Sun Peng's existence, this original gain was greatly reduced. So much so that when many media mention this animation, the first thing to mention is Lao Bai, because his name not only appears in the position of the screenwriter, but also the soundtrack, planning 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 I'm very busy!" ”

After laughing, Sun Peng showed a mouthful of big white teeth.

Although in the end he decided to cooperate with the Japanese again, and still chose Kelly and Kenji Matsumoto, it does not mean that Sun Peng is willing to put too much energy into it. You know, in addition to deciding to give yourself a break next year, Sun Peng is also cooperating with Americans and Hafei Animation in "The Lion King", which is the main direction of DreamWorks in the future!

Spirited Away is great, and Howl's moving castle is also great, but they are not the mainstream of world animation after all!

Take Howl's Moving Castle as an example, of the more than 200 million US dollars at the global box office, Japan accounts for more than 100 million! Even if there is a bonus in the Chinese market in this world, how much can it be in the end?

But what about The Lion King?

So the script can be there, and the rough sketch can also take some time to do it, 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 were, and how Yamada Ichiro persuaded him, Sun Peng always refused to nod, and finally 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 will participate in the investment and production......"
