Chapter Forty-Seven: Companions of the Masters

Later that day, Sid and Britney, who had had had enough, turned on their phones to make a phone call, and within a few moments, the contact team of Fire Lion and RB, as well as several senior detectives from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, rushed to Sid and Britney.

When Friscia and the others jumped out of the car out of breath, Sid was still leisurely holding a plate of octopus balls, tasting them with Britney left and right, and the group of people were not in one place, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Sid also smiled cheaply: "I've been busy all day, I'm tired, do you want to eat some octopus balls?"

But fortunately, Britney was not late for the NHK TV show that day, and the timing made people wonder if Sid had calculated it on purpose.

――――――――――――――――――――

"I'm sorry. Sid shook his head firmly, "I don't have the idea of selling the rights to the novel yet, Mr. Miyazaki." ”

Hayao Miyazaki, who was opposite, sighed slightly, "That's a shame, I've read several of your fairy tale novels, Alice in Wonderland and How to Train Your Dragon are great stories, so I'd love to try and adapt them into our new anime." ”

Sid fantasized about the 2D Japanese-style "How to Train Your Dragon", and immediately couldn't stop shivering, it was terrible. That kind of standard American adventure animation, I don't think it can be expressed in 2D.

But then again, with Lao Gong's strong adaptation ability, even if it is changed all over at that time, it will definitely be a completely different story with the same fur.

Taking advantage of the time when Britney was busy preparing for the concert, Sid visited Studio Ghibli in Koganei City, a western suburb of Tokyo, in the spirit of being idle and idle.

Of course, there is only one purpose here, to fulfill a dream that I wanted to fulfill in my previous life - to meet the last film master of RB, Hayao Miyazaki.

As the only film master after Akira Kurosawa who can enjoy global fame, Miyazaki's animation not only goes beyond the scope of animation, but also beyond the scope of RB and even Asia. It's a back-to-basic, subtle ability, and even now, Sid thinks he's not quite the director.

"Okay, let's have a casual conversation then. Old man Miyazaki shrugged, gave up his plan to "blackmail" the script from Sid, and said to Sid.

The two are now sitting in the lounge of Studio Ghibli's headquarters, and although Sid's visit is not a surprise attack, the studio still shakes up and down at the visit of Sid, the latest Hollywood director. NHK TV also took the opportunity to send an interview team, although the scale was small because the old man Gong was annoying, but the TV station still sent a complete shooting team.

Because of the persuasion of Toshio Suzuki, the producer and studio operator, the old man Miya reluctantly agreed to the conversation and interview, but Sid actually didn't know anything about it, and when he got here, he found that there was an interview with a reporter.

But Sid was also very interested in having the opportunity to talk to the old man of the palace, so he readily agreed. Just before the official start of the interview, Sid had a private conversation with the old man of the palace.

"So, may I ask the two directors, what touched you and made you decide to become a director?" Toshio Suzuki looked at the questions that NHK had prepared for them in advance, and they were really boring and mediocre questions.

Old man Miyazaki pouted first, unhappy that he was actually pulled out of the studio because of such a boring interview, you must know that it is an important initial preparation period for "Spirited Away".

The old man Gong directly shook off bluntly: "Because there is no money." ”

This nonchalant answer embarrassed the NHK TV staff in the room, and Sid couldn't help but laugh after listening to the real-time translation of the translator, and then said, "Me-Too." ”

When the old man heard Sid's answer, he raised his eyes and looked at the American kid opposite him with some surprise. Toshio Suzuki is not a rigid person either, and he couldn't help but put down the question board in his hand when he saw that the questions prepared by the NHK side were so official.

Sid looked at the slightly awkward atmosphere in the room and said with a whim, "Mr. Suzuki, it's better to do this." How about me and Mr. Miyazaki asking each other questions, and then we answering each other?"

Sid's idea immediately made Miyazaki's eyes light up, and his old man immediately clapped his palms, "That's it!" Both protagonists said so, and the others had to do it.

"Boy, you ask first. Sid originally wanted to respect the old man first, but he didn't expect the old man to let him come first.

Well, come on.

Sid smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Miyazaki, my favorite 'Princess Mononoke' in '97. The kind of story that mixes the cruelty of reality with the spirituality of nature makes me fall in love with it. ”

When the old man heard Sid's praise, he smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”

Sid smiled and continued, "Then my question is, when creating a work, do you sketch out the complete picture in advance and then start writing, or do you explore and experiment in the process of creation?"

Old man Miyazaki quickly replied: "I have always followed my own goals, persevered as much as possible, and finished as much as possible, and only by reaching the end can I know what I can do." Until then, I didn't know what the outcome would be. What about you?"

In the end, Old Man Gong threw the same question to Sid.

"Me?" Sid smiled, "I'm the opposite. I'm a storyteller, I don't start filming without a full story, for me it's like sailing out into the dark sea, I hate that feeling!"

Sid's answer made the old man laugh: "I didn't expect you to be so young and so conservative." ”

Sid had no choice but to shrug his shoulders without saying a word, and then spread out his hand to ask the old man to ask a question.

After thinking for a while, Old Man Miyazaki asked, "I've read some of your novels, and I've heard some of your novels. As far as I know, you've created a wide range of stories, from fairy tales to Indiana Jones-esque adventures. How did you come up with these different stories?"

Sid frowned and touched his chin before replying, "Special, or 'different' attributes." This is the common core and origin of all my work. Whether it is a children's fairy tale, a teenager's adventure, an adult-oriented suspense, or even a housewife's story. My ultimate pursuit is to break the original boredom and create something new, and the most important thing is to grow in faith and soul. ”

After a first conversation, the old man Miyazaki soon found that the young man opposite him had quite a good insight, and it seemed that there was no vain under the fame. The Hollywood prodigy is not the boast of the media.
