Chapter 878: Scene 878 Crazy Chinese
Koji Nakata started the car, turned around and introduced with a smile: "Director Li, this is the actor of our company, and it is also the translator we have configured for you this time, Miss Maki Hokita, I hope you are satisfied." He also added with a wink: "Maki's English is different from the average Japanese, and her pronunciation is very good, which is the best in our company." ”
No wonder it is a little familiar, Li Xiaole then remembered that this little girl who looked at him timidly was the new generation of Japanese actor Maki Horikita, although he had not seen the actress's play, but he still had a little impression of her, and it seemed that she was quite popular in Japan.
Seeing Koji Nakata's old bustard-like smile, Li Xiaole immediately understood...... Nima, this Toho company is not here to intervene to seek a co-production, but to promote their own actresses, and they must have gotten from Shueisha that this animated film needs a prototype actor to use motion capture technology, so they pushed Maki Horikita...... Nima, what did Chinese do when he came to Japan, why did people use beauty tricks as soon as they came...... Looking at this driving, Toho wants to push Horikita Makiri to the international level, and it is at all costs...... This translation is an excuse, but in fact, it is an "unspoken rule" to seduce you......
Thinking of this, Li Xiaole couldn't help but turn his head and carefully look at Maki Shimokita, with refreshing short hair, a tall nose bridge, plump and round lips, and a vigilant demeanor that could not hide his pure temperament, especially the big eyes, very beautiful, the slightly trembling eyelashes opened and closed like feathers, this appearance is indeed very photogenic, the figure is petite, and the limbs are slender, if it seems to be captured by anime characters, whether it is Sakura in "Hokage", Rukia Kuchigi in "Death", or Nami in "One Piece", she will be more suitable as a prototype actor......
But well, if it's Haruko Akagi in "Slam Dunk...... Not quite in line with it...... The appearance is good, but it is not cheerful enough, it is good if you can smile more, thinking of this, Li Xiaole also took out the tablet from the bag, searched for the information of Maki Horikita, and then briefly looked at her works along the way, and unexpectedly found that this somewhat cold girl has quite good acting skills, and her performance in a "Fraud Hunter" is very cheerful and sunny, which is quite consistent with Haruko Akagi......
This time he came to Japan for a tight time, and he didn't have much time for a Japanese interview, so it would be nice to be able to determine the prototype actor as soon as possible, Maki Horikita is indeed a good candidate, but it is not suitable to be a translator, and Shueisha still has to find a reliable one, Li Xiaole is also secretly weighing in his heart.
And when Li Xiaole finished reading the work of Maki Horikita, at this time, the car had already arrived at the Shueisha building in Hitobashi, Chiyoda District, and before he got off the car on the side of the road, Li Xiaole saw hundreds of young people holding signs in protest, and the middle-aged man in the turban was shouting something, Li Xiaole's Japanese was limited to simple "Yami Butterfly" and the like, and he couldn't figure out what they were shouting, so he asked Koji Nakata: "What are they protesting for?" ”
Koji Nakata was obviously a little embarrassed, and said as he got out of the car: "It's nothing, it's just protesting against Shueisha's "Hunter" being suspended indefinitely." When Koji Nakata got out of the car, Maki Horikita, who had been silent, came over and said angrily: "They are protesting against you, protesting that you want to steal the cultural treasures of our country." ”
Li Xiaole looked at Maki Kita, obviously feeling her hostility, this is not like a door-to-door delivery to find unspoken rules, but a look of opening the shelf to let herself expel her, it seems that this little girl doesn't like herself very much, but Li Xiaole at this time found out that Horikita Maki is a good thing to be his own translator, she will not be like Koji Nakata and other polite Japanese, cover up anything, this is not bad, he really needs such a direct translation in Japan.
"I advise you to give up this plan, Japanese animation is a niche culture, not suitable for international directors like you to guide, the Hollywood version of "Dragon Ball" has just been released has proved that our small country culture is not suitable for the world big screen, except for Japanese directors, no one understands the world described in anime." Maki Horikita opened her big beautiful eyes and said a little coldly.
Although Maki Horikita is criticizing the unrecognizable North American version of "Dragon Ball" that has just been released, he is actually referring to Li Xiaole.
What is anime in Shueisha Japan? For Chinese and American film and television producers, it may be just a money-making film theme that young people like, children's gadgets, and it's not a big deal.
But for the vast majority of Japanese people, Shueisha's hot-blooded comics are one of the cultural symbols of their country, in the post-war Japan in the world is in a downturn, but its country's cultural charm is unique, its own school, whether it is songs, movies, literature, there are a large number of characters who have influenced the world, but all other fields combined, but not as far-reaching as manga.
Whether it is literature, movies, or songs, Japan has always been in its own small circle, it is difficult to step out of its own country to become a popular culture in the world, but anime is different, Japanese anime is an all-age, borderless culture, loved by countless anime fans around the world, even the Chinese who regard Japan as an enemy, are growing up watching "Ichishu", "Flower Fairy" and "Saint Seiya".
And what makes the Japanese most proud is that even the Americans, who have always ruled them, have been conquered by their comics, "Slam Dunk" has sold 140 million copies worldwide, "Doraemon" has sold nearly 200 million copies worldwide, and "Dragon Ball" has sold more than 35000 copies, many of which have surpassed the sales of American comics in North America.
What's more, behind these comics, there are Japanese people who can prove to the world that they are no longer the military country that exterminated humanity during World War II, but have stepped into the forefront of world civilization, no matter how much you hate Japan, you can not watch Japanese dramas, do not watch Japanese movies, refuse to listen to Japanese songs, but you have to be impressed by the charm of Japanese anime.
Those classic anime works are the pride of every Japanese person, but when these classics are remade into movies from other countries, it makes the Japanese feel very angry^
Either they have been adapted into inexplicable plots such as the Hong Kong version of "City Hunter", or they are absurdly completely Hollywoodized like the just-released North American version of "Dragon Ball", completely losing the original spirit of friendship, youth, and blood in Japanese anime.
The Japanese feel that directors from other countries don't understand them at all, and they can't imagine how another Hollywood director can spoil their pride, especially when the Japanese media reported on Li Xiaole's words to Chinese reporters: "Since Japan has taken away our best cultural treasures, then of course I can also take their best works of art to shoot." ”
Looking at these protesters, Li Xiaole knew in his heart that he had probably been set up as an "enemy" in the minds of the Japanese, and the protests of Japanese anime fans were also understandable, originally he didn't want to cause trouble and go through the back door, but Li Xiaole inadvertently saw the protesters when the car turned, obviously divided into two groups of people, one group is young anime fans, and the other group of dozens of people are people over 25 years old, most of them are middle-aged, and their voices are very loud, among which there are signs with "Senkaku Islands", "Immigration" and "China" Kanji such as "robber" and "emperor......
Li Xiaole's eyebrows immediately raised, and he pointed over there and turned his head to ask Maki Horikita, "What are these people doing?" Not like an anime fan? What are they holding on their signs? "These must be the so-called right-wingers.
"Yes......" Maki Horikita followed the direction of Li Xiaole's finger and saw those people over there, his face was also full of disgust, and he said with some embarrassment: "It's all some political topics...... It's nothing. "These political topics are too sensitive, people in the entertainment industry will not touch them, and the right-wing is a very small number of people in Japan, and everyone hates them.
"What do you are, I ask?" Li Xiaole asked in a low voice.
Li Xiaole's face was cold, which startled Maki Horikita, but she had a stubborn personality, and she didn't want the firm to force the Chinese director who was full of scandals to be a translator...... Chinese crime rate in Tokyo is so high that it has reached 13 percent of the total...... Protest against the construction of Tokyo's Chinatown...... Expulsion of Chinese expatriates and so on......"
"Oh...... That's right. Li Xiaole nodded calmly, not looking angry at all, and then asked Koji Nakata, who had already gotten off the car: "Do you have any colored pens, the kind that writes big-character posters?" ”
"Yes." Koji Nakata didn't know why, their agent took this propaganda tool in his bag, returned to the driver's seat and turned it out of the bag and handed it to Li Xiaole, Li Xiaole took a colored pen, took a piece of paper from the bag and wrote a few words, and then turned it back, and wrote these words upside down on the window behind the car by the light through the paper, and then said to Koji Nakata: "Go, drive through the gate, rush through the group of right-wingers, be careful not to scare those ordinary comic fans."
Koji Nakata watched from the car and wrote a few Chinese characters upside down, although he didn't know what it was, but he also understood that it must not be a good word, and he also stammered in horror: "This is not very good, right?" ”
"Afraid of what?" Li Xiaole said coldly: "As long as you rush over, I will play the heroine captured in this movie to Horibei." ”
"Wait......" Maki Horikita was stunned for a moment, and said with wide eyes, "I'm not ready yet...... What exactly is this written? ”
Koji Nakata next to him gritted his teeth when he listened, thinking about the task given to him by the company, and thinking that his car was double-sided glass, and people outside couldn't see the people inside, so he nodded simply, stepped on the accelerator directly, and rushed over with the horn.
Just look at the group of guys holding the name card and shouting, they were all exclaimed, so frightened that they even crawled to the side, scolding a bunch of Japanese, at this time Li Xiaole suddenly rolled down the window, stretched out his head and hand, looked back at these guys, and raised a big middle finger~~
This crazy action, Koji Nakata and Maki Horikita were stupid......
