"Mr. Mo, there is a Japanese director named Hayao Miyazaki who wants to see you, saying that there is something very important to come from Japan, and now that he is in Hong Kong, do you want to see him?" The little secretary Yinan pushed open the door and came in, interrupting Mo Fei, who was writing and drawing, asked.

The other side must not have hung up the phone and waited for news, otherwise with Yinan's sensibility, he must have told himself in a closed-circuit call, and he would never be so reckless.

Couldn't you stop the pen in your hand, Miyazaki is here, you don't have to think about it, you know, the eight achievements are for that song, Hisaishi let the brother, I'm really sorry, let my brother do this job for you, who made your name "just let".

"Look at my schedule, if there is nothing important this morning, let him come directly, I see that I am going to the United States again, who knows when I will come back, people come all the way from Japan, I can't let him run in vain."

Inan answered and walked outside, thinking as he walked, the boss's performance today is very abnormal, there is no usual feeling at all, is there anything special about this Japanese?

It should also be said that Miyazaki's reputation is not loud enough now, and there is only one official screen work "Valley of the Wind", at most, it is a little famous in the Japanese animation industry, and the future Japanese animated film is still far away, and Inan doesn't know that he is normal.

Hayao Miyazaki personally went to Hong Kong to find Mo Fei, because of the song "Kingdom of Heaven" that Mo Fei had tampered with. He was working on an animated film "Castle in the Sky", and invited the famous Japanese musician Hisaishi to give the film soundtrack, and after Hisaishi saw part of the movie, he directly told Miyazaki that he couldn't do the soundtrack of the movie, because someone had already made the best soundtrack for the movie, and there was no more suitable one. It was suggested that he come to Hong Kong to negotiate with Mo Fei.

It is said that Japanese movies are not very good now, but Hong Kong films are dominating Asia step by step, and this Mr. Mo Fei is even more of a posture to go global. This made it difficult for Hayao Miyazaki, who was aiming to revitalize Japanese animated films, to accept, but Hisaishi had once again refused to score the film. And put that piece to him, and after listening to it, Miyazaki had nothing more to say, and this was the music he wanted.

Before coming to Hong Kong, Miyazaki had done a lot to know Mo Fei, who had only taken more than two years to make achievements that other filmmakers might not be able to do in his lifetime, and he was really afraid that Mo Fei would not be able to watch an animated movie and refuse to do so. Previously opposed. Later, it was hope, but now he is worried, and Miyazaki can't tell his mood clearly.

When he met Murphy, Miyazaki took a serious look at the Hong Kong gold medal producer. The guy who was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, it's really hard to believe that someone who has made so many achievements has such a young face, and suddenly Miyazaki thinks. Isn't this also the pride of Asian cinema.

Relaxed, Miyazaki was able to speak, bowed to Mo Fei very politely, and said, "Hello, Mo San." Excuse me, I'm Hayao Miyazaki, from Ghibli Studios in Japan, please advise. ”

He could understand simple Japanese, but formal conversation was a problem, so he temporarily recruited Honami from the set to be his translator, and he didn't worry that the translator would lie to him.

"Hello Mr. Miyazaki, I don't know what you came to Hong Kong to find me, we don't seem to have dealt with each other before, right?" Of course, Honami will not lie to Mo Fei, and every word is translated according to Mo Fei's original meaning.

"Well, last winter, I took on the job of directing a film, and now that I'm halfway through production, it's time to prepare the soundtrack. I came to Hong Kong in the hope of getting Mozambit's authorization to use that excellent song "Kingdom of Heaven" as the soundtrack for this film, and I will give a satisfactory copyright fee. "At this time, the Japanese were super rich, and every day they thought about what it would be like to buy the White House and turn it into a toilet, and they were more confident when it came to money.

Mo Feixin said that my brother is waiting for you to come to the door, but it can't be too easy for you, otherwise the faces of the Chinese people will not look good, thought about it for a while, and said: "What kind of movie is it, will it be released in many regions?" ”

Hayao Miyazaki is numb, it seems that he cares a lot about his tunes, if the scene is small, there may not be anything to talk about, but he can't just talk about it, embarrassed: "That's the case, this movie is an animated film, and there is no scale for the top screening yet, but I will try to communicate with the distributor and strive to distribute this film to Europe and the United States, at least in Asia." ”

"Well, in fact, as a film director, Mr. Hayao Miyazaki, you should know that if you use too much soundtrack, it will lose its meaning, and there are very few songs that can endure, and I can't guarantee that this song will always be popular, so if I want to make a soundtrack, I hope it can be a film that attracts enough attention." If it's a Hong Kong movie or a Chinese-language movie, it's easy to say, but if it's a Japanese movie, then I'm sorry, this bamboo bar has to be knocked a little.

Hayao Miyazaki really wants to use the song "Kingdom of Heaven", and he also wants Mo Fei to score the movie as a whole, once again expressing his sincerity, and said: "Mo Sang, please believe, I am very sincere to ask you, and I also hope that you can be responsible for all the soundtrack work of this movie, this movie will definitely become a classic in my opinion, but if there is no good music, the overall level will be reduced a lot, so please Mo Sang, you must help, please!" ”

After pretending for a long time, Mo Fei finally agreed to Miyazaki's request and agreed to score the movie "Castle in the Sky", of course, the price will not be low, otherwise I am sorry for Mo Fei's fame and identity.

The song "Kingdom of Heaven" bought 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Hayao Miyazaki took 1 million Hong Kong dollars for the film's system soundtrack, which seems to be a lot, but Mo Fei doesn't feel much at all. This film was bought in Japan for about nearly 1 billion yen, which is converted into more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is cheap to receive more than 1 million from him. If it weren't for Miyazaki's name, the song would indeed belong to "Castle in the Sky", and don't even think about this soundtrack. (The so-called "Castle in the Sky" 500 million yen on the Internet is the distribution revenue, not the box office)

After the negotiation, Miyazaki once again expressed his gratitude to Mo Fei, and asked Mo Fei to go to Japan to have time to play. He is willing to be Mo Fei's guide, as a landlord, and is willing to chat with Mo Fei about many topics about movies.

After finishing speaking, I found that the translator who had changed was so familiar. As if I'd seen it somewhere, I took off my glasses and rubbed my eyes. Put it on again and take a closer look, sure enough, it is Honami Suzuki, the heroine of "The Silence of the Lambs", and Miyazaki's mind is alive again.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Honami Suzuki?" The attitude is very polite, and there is no arrogance in the treatment of women in Japan, maybe because of being in Hong Kong, or because of the need for others.

"I'm Honami. Can you please help me? Honami is also very polite, but for some reason, there is also a lot of humility that Japanese women should have.

"That's right, I'd like to ask Ms. Honami to be able to do one of my voice jobs on this film. Please don't shirk, the remuneration will satisfy you. "With Mo Fei's example in front of him, the reward will not be low.

It's still okay to dub the cartoon, of course I won't object, and the matter was quickly settled. Honami took the time to spend three to five days in Japan to do dubbing performances for the movie, and the salary was 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and when he arrived in Hong Kong, almost 6% of the box office was consumed.

To say that this Japanese movie skin is really not cheap. It's much more expensive than Hong Kong's, Hong Kong movies are extremely prosperous now, and the ticket price is only 22 Hong Kong dollars, and Japan is now almost 40 Hong Kong dollars, and it's easier to pile up the box office.

Miyazaki didn't expect things to be handled so quickly, although he had prepared for failure before, and he had also thought about asking a friend to ask a filmmaker from Hong Kong to help him speak, but he still didn't dare to guarantee success.

Then he talked about some topics about the movie, and Miyazaki wanted to say goodbye, he was now full of thoughts about how to get the movie done quickly, and then he would be able to start the soundtrack, you must know that the song "Kingdom of Heaven" directly drunk him.

Mo Fei didn't plan to just let Miyazaki leave, the use value of this guy has just begun, and there are still hundreds of billions of cartoons at the box office in Japan waiting to be earned, wouldn't it be too much of a loss to let go of this future animation master.

"Mr. Miyazaki, I don't know if you have any plans after this movie, do you already have a film appointment?"

"Well, there are no new film contracts yet, but I don't know if my company will have any arrangements." Miyazaki can react, it is likely that there is a liar looking for him to shoot, this should be an opportunity, the legendary films that this person has invested in are quite powerful, but he can't be too positive, right?

Mo Fei didn't care what he was thinking, and said directly: "Oh, that's right, I know that you created a picture book called "Princess Mononoke", and I want to adapt that picture book into a movie, which is technically produced with the most advanced animation in the United States, and I believe it will be a great success, and Mr. Miyazaki's name will also be known to everyone with this movie."

As for your album, I actually have adapted it. One day, Nacal, the cursed pig god from the west, was about to invade the village where Ashidaka was located. Seeing that Na was pressing step by step, in order to protect Kaya and the girls in the village. Ashitaka stepped forward, and although he later killed Nacob, he was cursed by the evil god and his life was not saved. In order to solve the mystery of the curse and save himself, Asidaka left the forest at the instructions of Grandma Hi and followed in the footsteps of Nacob to the west.

On the way, he heard from the pimple monk that the bullets that had killed Nacob's curse came from the ancient forests of the West, inhabited by mountain beast gods and giant beasts. So he set out for the West. On the way, he rescues two people who have fallen into the valley after being attacked by Mona, a mountain dog, while transporting iron ore, and meets Princess Mononoke for the first time. Ashidaka miraculously crossed the forest under the guidance of the wood spirit, and sent the two people back to the city of Dadala in Albershi, in the city of Dadara, he uncovered the mystery of the curse of the boar god, in order to obtain iron ore, humans continued to destroy the forest, angering the boar king of the forest, Naga, so that people could not go deep into the forest, after Alberthy arrived, he attacked the forest with advanced stone and fire arrows, and Naga, who guarded the forest, was hit by her musket bullet and became an evil demon because of hatred!

And learned the story of Princess Mononoke from the mouth of Alberth, it turns out that Princess Mononoke is actually an abandoned child raised by Mona, a mountain dog, she thinks that she is a mountain dog and not a human, she is full of hatred for humans, and she is bent on killing Alberth, who destroys the forest. Asdidaka felt that perhaps Princess Mononoke could know how to lift his curse.

That night, in order to protect the forest and kill Albersy, Princess Mononoke attacked Dadara at night. When Princess Mononoke is in a critical situation, Asdidaka wants to resolve her conflict with Albercy and asks her how to lift the curse, so she stands up to stop Princess Mononoke and Albershi's fight, and is shot in the process, putting her life in danger. Princess Mononoke, who was taken out of Dadara by Asidaka, became hostile to Ashidaka at first, but was eventually moved by Ashitaka's sincerity and bravery, and as Asdidaka was too badly injured, Shan took him to the forest of the Mountain Beast God in the hope that the Mountain Beast God would save him.

The mountain beast god revived Ashidaka, but did not remove his curse. At this time, the wild boar herd, which was deeply disturbed by humans, was determined to fight to the death with humans to save their homeland forest, under the leadership of the pig god Oto. On the eve of Ashidaka's departure from the forest, Mona tells Asdidaka about Princess Mononoke's tragic life story and the conflict between the forest and humans. After Ashitaka leaves, Shan leads the other two mountain dogs out of Mona and joins the herd of boars in a battle with the combined forces of Alberthy and the samurai and wandering monks, serving as eyes for the two blind Otoshi. The Abbers had been preparing for this battle for a long time, and their ultimate goal was not to destroy the wild boar herd, but to use them as bait to find the mountain beast god and hunt the head of the mountain beast god.

In the battle between Albercy and the wild boar herd, the wild boar herd was almost completely wiped out, leaving only the boar god B, Shan and the mountain dog. They set out towards the island where the mountain beast god was staying, hoping that the mountain beast god would heal Lord B's wounds. On the other hand, when Alberthy led her male soldiers to hunt for the mountain beast god, the city of Dadara was attacked by samurai, and only the women defended the city, and when Dadara was in danger, Asidaka came.

It turned out that he had also been attacked by the samurai's stragglers after leaving Shan, and Asidaka learned outside the city of Dadala that Albert had gone to hunt the mountain beast god, and in order to save the mountain beast god and Shan, and also to inform Albert to come back to save Dadala, he set off towards the forest again. In order to find the mountain beast god, Alberthy and the samurai army put on wild boar skins and painted wild boar blood to disguise their human identity, followed the retreating Otoshi and Shan, and when they reached the island where the mountain beast god was located, the army surrounded the boar god and Shan, and attacked them.

The boar god, full of anger and resentment, saw that he had become an evil demon, and Shan who had saved him from it would also be implicated, and Ashidaka, who had just arrived, wanted to save Shan, but he was unable to do so. Seeing that the situation is irreparable, Mona arrives in time to recapture Shan, and Mona, who is about to die, tells Asdidaka to let him live with Shan. The Mountain Beast God came out and took the lives of Lord Otoshi and Mona, while Asdidaka rescued Shan with the help of the White Wolf God.

Alberts, however, took the opportunity to shoot the head of the Mountain Beast God, and the enraged Mountain Beast God began to absorb life to retrieve his head. Mona, who was only left with her head, was under the control of the mountain beast god and bit off one of Albersy's arms. In order to save the forest, Asidaka and Shan took back the head of the mountain beast god that had been snatched from the pimple monk. The mountain beast god who had lost his head and regained his head left with a bang when the sun came out....... Do you think it's okay to adapt it like this? ”

"This, this is simply ...... Now, I don't even know what to say, Mosan, you are really good, you are the best screenwriter I have ever seen, and I may not be able to do this by adapting it myself. When this movie is over, I will come to Hong Kong again and finish this "Princess Mononoke" with you. Hayao Miyazaki was really a little excited, his album had just come out, but he didn't expect that he would adapt the movie so soon and make a story, and a sense of pride in being recognized spontaneously arose.
