Chapter 359: Bland Happiness
Listen to Mao Lingquan gave a high evaluation of the Tomb of the Fireflies, this kind of praise is the first time, whether it is the previous Grim Reaper, a full-time hunter, has not received such high praise from him, only from the story and fun, in fact, the Tomb of the Fireflies is far less passionate and story-like than the Grim Reaper, but it is in the heart of listening to Mao Lingquan, the weight is far more than the two, in other words, this is the difference between literary films and commercial blockbusters, although the latter is hot, the viewing is very strong, but the moral contained in it is not as thought-provoking as the former in plain simplicityγ
"This Tomb of the Fireflies, Nanako, do you want to take it to apply? To be honest, Nanako, your work, although it is very good, but the problems contained in it are not small, the bombing of the airport, it is a taboo that not many people have dared to try for decades, so, if Nanako you take this work to apply, there may be a lot of trouble. Listening to Mao Lingquan asked.
"Hmm. Nanako nodded, "I know this, but it is precisely because of this time that this Grave of Fireflies will appear, so even though it may not be adopted, I still insist on using it to apply, even if it is a bloody encounter!"
Different from the situation in the previous life, in the present life, Neon is also a province to which the Dragon Kingdom belongs, so the history of Neon and the Dragon Kingdom of World War II is naturally completely different from Nanako's previous life, in this world, Neon was greatly damaged by the war during World War II because it was lonely overseas.
One of the most memorable is the bombing of the airport, this bombing, nearly half of the cities and villages and towns in Neon Province have been subjected to carpet bombing, injuries everywhere, which is why people are reluctant to mention this incident, even in the textbooks, the compilers at that time were cautious to describe this great tragedy in human history, and did not dare to cross the line at all.
And Nanako didn't think of it so much at the beginning, because she was originally going to release the Tomb of Fireflies as an alternate space-time background, but because of many coincidences, almost everyone would link it to the airport bombing incident at the first time, and in desperation, Nanako had no choice but to let it go.
glanced at Nanako's resolute expression, and listened to Mao Lingquan simply didn't say anything more, because he also felt that works like the tomb of the fireflies should not be affected by the so-called taboos, although this work is a work created against the background of a pair of brothers and sisters in the war, but the anti-war ideas in it, and the desire for peace, are more brilliant than those heavy anti-war documentaries, the suffering suffered by the two brothers and sisters in the war, far more touching than those cruel and heroic war scenes, listening to Mao Lingquan feel that this time, he must do something, for the sake of the young Chengda and his sister SetsukoFor those who have suffered so much in the war, for the noble and humble dream of peace.
Even if those people in the radio/telegraph/headquarters/bureau suppressed this work because of the taboo of the bombing of the airport, he heard that Mao Lingquan had to do it himself, make it, and spread it to the world, so that people all over the world could see what happened to these two brothers and sisters in the war!
Listening to the corner of Mao Lingquan's mouth, a smile appeared in Hexi, and said: "I understand, Nanako, Dad supports you, you just let it go, Dad will help you behind your back, support you, even if you fail this time, don't be discouraged, even if those people in the relevant departments refuse to accept this work, Dad and I will help you complete it!"
Listening to Mao Lingquan is not comforting Nanako or talking big or anything, because even if the Dragon Kingdom does not let the Tomb of the Fireflies be born in the Dragon Country because of the taboo of the airport bombing, their cat club can also be taken to other countries to do it, and now, the business of the foreign branch of Station E has officially entered the state of financing opening, and it will not be long before things will have a result.
When the time comes, if the Dragon Country is not good, they can still take the original draft of the comic to a foreign branch station to do it, and then spread it abroad, the policies of various countries are different, some businesses and films that are resolutely resisted locally, and put them in other countries, it may be legal, or even a policy-supported business, so I heard that Mao Lingquan was completely worried that this firefly tomb would be buried.
[Just like the neon of the real world, if it weren't for the open policy, how could there be *** and other artists who are both virtuous and artistic, if there is no ***, wouldn't the majority of otaku have to live in a boring world without pornographic jokes? γ
"So be it. Listening to Mao Lingquan said, "The sketch of the Tomb of the Fireflies, just put it here for me, I will have someone copy it tomorrow, and then save the original manuscript, and I will help you complete the application, and I will also communicate with the school."
If the school is afraid of the impact, then it is up to us to submit the application in the name of the cat club, in short, go to the radio / television / general office / bureau to try it, if not, we will make plans. β
Listening to Mao Lingquan's detailed consideration, because of the special event of the bombing of the airport, the influence on this work is not ordinary, he estimates, if Nanako just hands over the sketch to the school, it is very likely that he will not even be able to pass the school level, after all, some school teachers, for this kind of important things, it is not an ordinary avoidance.
I heard that Mao Lingquan had encountered similar things several times when she was young, because the students' works involved some sensitive/sensitive things, and in order to prevent any trouble, the school actually directly seized and destroyed the students' works!
So this time, I heard that Mao Lingquan deliberately kept a heart, he wanted to keep the original manuscript, and only took the copy to apply for submission, so that even if something happens, it will not cause irreparable consequences, after all, a work like the Tomb of the Fireflies should not be hidden and buried because of some stubborn prejudices, or even the fate of destruction.
Nanako naturally has no opinion on listening to Mao Lingquan's ideas and requirements, she still wishes that her father could communicate these things for her, Nanako has always hated trouble the most, and her father can come forward to help her take over these things, which is naturally great.
So Nanako smiled and nodded, "Well, take this matter, please Dad you, I'm sorry for you." β
"Huh. Hearing Mao Lingquan also smiled, "You're welcome, it's not too early, Nanako, you have to go back to school tomorrow, just go and rest, tomorrow Dad will start to deal with this matter." β
..............
The next day, Nanako went to school early, and listened to Mao Lingquan with the manuscript of the Firefly Tomb and came to the cat club.
"Xiao Zhang, you go and reproduce this comic, you can do it yourself. Listening to Mao Lingquan say to the secretary Xiao Zhang, he handed him the original manuscript in his hand, "Oh, by the way, you can find someone to find Mr. Cheng Jun and see if he is in the comic club, if he is, you can ask him to come to my office." β
Secretary Xiao Zhang nodded, "I see." β
Listening to Mao Lingquan rarely use such a serious tone to tell himself, let alone tell him to do it himself, so, this work to be reproduced, must be very important, Xiao Zhang, who figured out this section, did not dare to slack off, and found an employee of the production team who came to make coffee in the aisle at will, and asked him the president to ask Mr. Cheng to come over for a visit, Xiao Zhang came to the printing room, and after politely refusing the help of an employee, he began to reproduce it himself, and his eyes never took his eyes off the machine for a moment.
In less than ten minutes, the secretary Xiao Zhang returned to Tingmao Lingquan's office and handed over the original manuscript and the copy to Tingmao Lingquan.
At this time, the old man Cheng Jun also walked in slowly, "Lingquan, you are looking for me, is there something wrong?"
Now, Old Man Cheng is already a member of their cat club, although he is only a director in the production team, but Old Man Cheng does not have the perfunctory behavior of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, but is very serious about helping them cultivate the employees of the production team, and now, the production team of the cat club has been able to produce animation independently, Nanako's life in a different world from scratch, and the plot of the first season is almost over.
Listening to Mao Lingquan, who was standing in front of the safe at this time, he put the yellow paper file bag of the original manuscript containing the tomb of the fireflies into it, "Uncle Cheng, you are here, please wait for me for a minute, wait for me to put the things first." β
Old man Cheng smiled, walked to the sofa in the office and sat down, and made himself a cup of tea, "Hehe, okay, anyway, those boys from the production team are already on the right track when they come in, and I don't need to keep an eye on it all the time, so I'll be lazy today, come to you to drink tea and rest."
Ay.... Who's that? Xiao Zhang, right? Quickly bring me your president's best tea....."
When listening to Mao Lingquan and sitting down on the sofa opposite Old Man Cheng, Old Man Cheng's tea had already been brewed, and the tea used was still the superb red robe that Mao Lingquan had treasured for a long time, which showed that Old Man Cheng was really not polite at all, you must know that this tea was reluctant to drink even Mao Lingquan!
"Ha, this tea is good. Old man Cheng commented, "Authentic and superb red robe, I still remember the last time I drank this, it was still at your old father-in-law's, this tea is really more expensive than gold, and the quantity is too small......"
Looking at Old Man Cheng's stunned appearance, Mao Lingquan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then said, "Uncle Cheng, I asked you over today because I have a very important matter to discuss with you..... This is Nanako's latest work, so take a look at it. β
"Oh?!" Old man Cheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mao Lingquan with some puzzlement.
I heard Mao Lingquan make a 'please' gesture to the sketch on this table, and he didn't explain, anyway, as long as he saw this work, Uncle Cheng would naturally understand everything.
Old man Cheng was not polite, he wiped the sweat stains and tea vapor on his clothes casually, cleaned his hands, and then picked up the sketch, put on elderly glasses, and looked at it carefully.
"It's ..... Airport bombing?!" Old man Cheng was also like Cheng Yao and them, he made such a judgment, he frowned, and thought, no wonder, Lingquan will be this reaction, Nanazi's little girl's heart is a little big and wild, nowadays, almost no one dares to touch the pit of the airport bombing, but Nanazi, this little girl, dares to do nothing.
But..... I just don't know if this is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or if he really has the confidence and ability to break this taboo in the comic industry.
As time passed, Old Man Cheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and after a long time, he finally finished reading the entire comic.
"Hey.... O children of war. Old man Cheng sighed, his face was not abnormal, but his eyes were slightly red, obviously, he was also hit by the encounter between the brothers and sisters in the work.
Listening to Mao Lingquan asking, "Uncle Cheng, what do you think of this work?"
"It's very good, it's definitely the kind of excellent work that can be remembered and touched a lot. Then Old Man Cheng's voice changed, "And Lingquan, you..... Are you worried about the attitude of the above? You came to me today to discuss this matter. β
Listening to Mao Lingquan nodded, "Yes, no one can deny that this Tomb of the Fireflies is definitely one of the best works that depict the suffering caused by the war to people, but it is too sensitive/sensitive, after all, it has been trying to heal the fear and pain caused by that bombing over the years." β
Old man Cheng pursed his lips, "Lingquan, don't be too pessimistic, I believe that even if this is the case, it can't hide the excellence of this work, and the people above will also have this consideration, and they will definitely not be killed directly with one rod."
Anyway, I think that no matter what happens, it can't hide the excellence and connotation of this work, so even if those guys from the relevant departments have ideas, I will compete with him!"
.......
Three days later, this Tomb of the Fireflies appeared in many submissions from the Radio/Television/Headquarters/Bureau, and was jointly recommended by the Cat Club and Modu University!
Because of the strong support of Old Man Cheng, an old-timer in the comic industry, even if the University of Modu has concerns, he gritted his teeth and joined forces, after all, as Old Man Cheng said, even if this work has some sensitivity/sensitivity problems, it is too good and worthy of the University of Modu to grit its teeth and participate.
In the work, there is such a recommendation and plot commentary.
This work, the tone is gray, full of sad and helpless atmosphere, the beauty of the fireflies in the sky even more contrasts with the cruelty of war and the damage to the human body and soul, in my opinion, this is the best interpretation of war!
Our peaceful life today is not easy to come by, and because of this, people seem to have forgotten how happy this ordinary peaceful life is, and be prepared for danger in times of peace, if we want to maintain this ordinary happiness, we must recognize what war will bring!
So, please let this work be selected, don't be prejudiced against the work for any reason, it's the best! I saw the suffering caused by the war, which made me sigh even more, the plain peace, it's really happyββ recommend Cheng Jun.
