Chapter 148: A Cutting-Edge Director

Liu Xin also had thoughts about Shen Zhenghui not coming to her studio to take a look after visiting Murahama Shoji, but she didn't complain like others. Liu Xin, who arrived at the company early in the morning, first downloaded the electronic version of "The Legend of Wukong" in the mailbox, and then handed it to the office staff to print several copies, and gave the manuscript to everyone at the theme discussion meeting.

Everyone is interested in this novel, especially Zhou Hua, a veteran employee of a beautiful movie, "Havoc in Heaven" is a classic animation, and this time they met the script of such a monkey play, they thought more than the average person. The words of Jin He are very attractive to young people, and the charm of his works can be relate to anyone who has suffered from secondary two diseases.

So Liu Xin asked for a week to postpone the topic selection meeting, during which time everyone should read through "The Legend of Wukong" and put forward their opinions on the story and consider how the story should be done.

Zhou Hua considered the connection of work, and felt that he should still put forward an alternative, and he couldn't concentrate on everyone to get the pit of "The Legend of Wukong".

Liu Xin then accepted this proposal very humbly, so the scheduled discussion continued, but everyone had no intention of discussing, and Liu Xin was not interested in mentioning that Shen Zhenghui would continue to adapt C1amp's work. Everyone was disturbed by a "Legend of Wukong".

In the past, the studio-made zuò animation was all created by Japanese, but at this time, a work of the Chinese itself appeared in front of them, and the standard of this work was quite high, and there was the possibility of adapting it into animation, which made young people who were engaged in animation because of their dreams feel excited and excited.

Seeing that the meeting could not go on. Zhou Hua had to announce the dismissal of the meeting, and at the same time asked everyone to finish reading "The Legend of Wukong". A group of people dispersed in a hurry.

After the meeting ended, Zhou Hua had a small meeting with Liu Xin and Ma Zhen.

"Mr. Liu, have you ever asked Mr. Shen if he is really determined to make this cartoon?" Zhou Hua was a little uneasy in his heart, "Can it recover the cost of making a TV animation in China?" If it is made into a movie animation, will it be released in Japan? Is this subject also facing this problem in Japan? ”

Liu Xin hasn't thought about it so much, she is still immersed in the relationship breakthrough last night, and she thinks self-righteously that it will be a successful work of her own, as for how to succeed. She doesn't have the brain to think about it yet.

"Ugh. This Mr. Shen also came over and went to visit Murahama Zhangji, otherwise you will ask him when he comes over later? "Liu Xin is a little hesitant.

Zhou Hua thought that there was some difficulty in this, and left immediately after hearing that Shen Zhenghui and Murahama Zhangji had met. I sighed badly in my heart. thought that Shen Zhenghui was not optimistic about this project. This is Liu Xin's wishful thinking.

Liu Xin is concerned about another question - whether Shen Zhenghui is showing a certain attitude, that is, he still regards himself as a business partner rather than a confidant.

This question made Liu Xinqing feel depressed until she received a call from Shen Zhenghui.

"You're saying Shoji Murahama is ready to make our studio completely independent from Gonzo." Liu Xin suddenly became excited.

"Yes. It's equivalent to getting out of the state of being attached to Gonzo now, although it's still a cooperative relationship with Gonzo, but whether it's in the selection of topics and in the system, it will be relatively independent, do you understand? ”

Liu Xin took a deep breath, "Understood." ”

"The first step is to be an independent legal person, independently registered, are you ready?" Shen Zhenghui continued to ask on the other end of the phone.

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said in a firm tone, "Get ready, there is no problem." ”

"Okay," Shen Zhenghui's tone on the other end of the phone was also very calm, as if it was a simple matter, "I asked Natsumi Horiguchi to help you get this matter, Kasuga should have a certain share, this does not affect your daily management of the animation company, but I mean that the company must absorb a certain number of Japanese employees, can not completely become an overseas branch of the Chinese, this is only you yourself to talk to Gonzo, it is best for personnel to do a certain amount of communication." Share setting, I asked Mitsumi Fukuda, according to the 2-to-2-2-2.5-3.5 setting of the Kasuga, Gonzo, me, and you Quartet, and you are the president, what do you think? ”

Liu Xin felt like heaven had opened its doors, "No problem!" She stood up and shouted.

"I'm glad that you're so confident, and Natsumi Horiguchi will assist you in the preparations, so be it." Shen Zhenghui hung up the phone.

Liu Xin walked around the office, and finally couldn't help but leak the news to his colleagues. The employees at the bottom were greatly encouraged, and the cadres above the middle level were still a little worried, especially Zhou Hua and their high-level leaders, Zhou Hua himself asked, "Is the direction of the exhibition determined to be completely detached?" In addition, we don't have enough management staff, and if we really break away from Gonzo and expand our own department, if the management can't keep up, it will take a long time to adjust. ”

"So the company also has a stake in Gonzo, and we also have to get some people from Gonzo to come over." Liu Xin explained.

"That's what Mr. Shen talked to Murahama Shoji about today?" Zhou Hua asked.

"Of course," Liu Xin said.

"Another question is that none of our employees have settled in Japan for a long time, so what should they do if they have to return to their home countries every once in a while?" Ma Zhen asked a question, he and Zhou Hua have been in Japan for a long time, they want to go home and go crazy, now that they have established a company in Japan, won't they want to live in Japan for a long time?

"We have always had a plan for personnel exchange with Boya and Xinghui, and now it seems that it is time to implement the plan." Liu Xin replied, and at the same time began to think about it, it was really time to put the production of "The Legend of Wukong" on the plan.

Shen Zhenghui didn't have the heart to think about Liu Xin's animation company at this time, he was chatting with Miyamoto, after the edification of Fukasaku Shinji and Kitano Takeshi, Miyamoto had completely washed away the little director's submissiveness. Become calm and confident. In front of Shen Zhenghui, his attitude is still respectful, but when it comes to movies, he can gradually express his thoughts. At this time, what Miyamoto was talking to Shen Zhenghui was his thoughts on his script "Kill, Kill, Kill".

Japanese directors always have such a problem, that is, they have achieved the ultimate in details, but they often deviate from the general direction. If you can grasp the balance of these two points, you must be a master-level character, and there is actually nothing wrong with Miyamoto's script, but it is a very good ironic film. But his mistake was that he put too much effort into the details. As a result, the irony is completely eliminated. This becomes the details trump the whole, and after watching the whole film, the ridicule of Japan is not visible, but it makes people feel that the protagonist's mental illness is too serious.

So Shen Zhenghui's adaptation puts the psychology of the protagonist in a hypothetical situation. This makes the whole story extremely absurd. But the ridicule of reality is more powerful. It's like Zhou Xingxing's movie. It's obviously a nonsensical comedy, but the ridicule of reality is extremely profound and can be accepted by people. "This is the official!" in "The Judge of the Dead!" "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" shows the atmosphere of officialdom and so on. It's not a drama, but it's more powerful than the table xiàn of the drama. It has to be said that how to achieve freedom of expression is a deep science.

At least, in Shen Zhenghui's opinion, Zhou Xingxing's "The Deer and Ding Ji" and Chen Xiaochun's "The Deer and Ding Ji" are very much in line with the impression that Wei Xiaobao gave himself in Jin Yong's original work, especially Zhou Xingxing's version of Wei Xiaobao, although he understands that the plot is extremely exaggerated, but Zhou Xingxing's expression of Wei Xiaobao's character is simply unavoidable, in contrast, Zhang Weijian's "Xiaobao and Kangxi" is simply a tasteless thing. Zhang Weijian is not playing Wei Xiaobao in it, but himself, and he has seen how he pretends to be 13 from beginning to end, so although the cast of actresses in this TV series is extremely strong, it has always been regarded as garbage by Shen Zhenghui.

Therefore, Shen Zhenghui rushed to seek the strength of the expression, and the expression of the struggle of human nature Miyamoto poured cold water. Shinji Fukasaku and Takeshi Kitano are brutal aesthetic ideas formed after years of self-excavation, and Miyamoto's imitation after being shocked by the great director's side, Shen Zhenghui said to Miyamoto that he must shoot according to his own style, if he doesn't have his own style, he has to look for it slowly, and the way to find it is to try to shoot according to the style of the original work, and then see where his understanding and expression can take the work.

Miyamoto is still not tough enough after all, at least he didn't dare to deny Shen Zhenghui's statement back then, or he also felt that Shen Zhenghui's statement was correct, so he accepted Shen Zhenghui's revised script, of course, Shen Zhenghui also said that he didn't know enough about Japanese things, this script can only be used as one of the references, if Miyamoto really wants to shoot according to this script, he still needs to continue to find excellent screenwriters to Japaneseize this script. Of course, the most important thing is to strike a balance between the details and the big picture.

Almost all of the scripts submitted by Miyamoto were killed by Shen Zhenghui, because he did not have a good grasp of this balance. A script that only wants to express something ethereal doesn't need to be written at all, just shoot it as you like Wong Kar-wai when you feel it; Excessive force in the details resulted in a mess of the whole film, just like carving with rancid ingredients, and great directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have also done such things. Therefore, it is not surprising that Miyamoto made such a mistake at all, that is, Takeshi Kitano himself also planted his heels in familiar gangster films.

Finally, when Miyamoto asked Shen Zhenghui what type of screenwriter he should find to adapt the story, Shen Zhenghui pondered for a while, "You can try to find a cartoonist to help you read the script," Shen Zhenghui said, "The most important thing in this script is to have enough imagination, and on this point, it is best for cartoonists." ”

Miyamoto seemed to have figured out something, "Are you talking about the wonderful fantasy of this protagonist?" Because Japan itself is a country of anime, borrowing anime itself to express Xiàn is more expressive than relying on the protagonist's own performance? Miyamoto suddenly became excited, "You're too accurate." He patted his head and continued, "I came back from director Shinji Fukasaku and director Takeshi Kitano, and I was infused with a violent expression, and now that I think about it, I really tried too hard, so it seems that the protagonist is like a psychopath. ”

"The protagonist does look like a psychotic person later." Shen Zhenghui replied.

"No, it's different. You change it like this, the protagonist is just an ordinary person who crosses the ordinary in a certain aspect, but he is still the same as an ordinary person in other aspects, in this way, he expresses himself according to the ideas of ordinary people, which is more expressive and impactful for our audience, I really understand, you are really a genius. ”

"Uh......" Shen Zhenghui can't say that Miyamoto's own brain is too good, in a sense. What Miyamoto said was not bad at all. His own understanding was quite correct. But Shen Zhenghui didn't think so much about it when he conceived it, he relied more on his own memory fragments, put together the later things together into such a story, and now tell the meaning of the whole story. He felt like he was a bit of an afterthought.

But that's nothing. For the traverser. Always know the result first, then go through the process, and finally know the meaning.

"Did Shen Sang recommend a cartoonist to me?" Miyamoto looked at Shen Zhenghui seriously and asked.

"Ugh." The cartoonists in Shen Zhenghui's mind are either too old or have not yet debuted, he thought for a while and said, "Recently, we had a cooperation with C1amp, and I think they are quite good in terms of general layout." Shen Zhenghui felt that he was a little heartbroken when he said this, he didn't read much of C1amp's comics, but isn't the focus of female authors falling in love? If Lu Luxiu's political layout hadn't been modified by himself, it would probably be similar to a child's play, but anyway, it was all filmed by the second middle school for the second middle school, so it doesn't matter at all.

"Oh, I've heard of them, very popular girl groups." Miyamoto held his chin and nodded, "You really need the guidance of a manga artist in the details, and the most important thing is to combine fantasy with reality." Gong Bi Quge got up and put away the script that Shen Zhenghui showed him, "Thank you, president," he bowed, "I will do my best to perfect this script and show it to you." ”

Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "There's no need to be so anxious." ”

"No, I feel that my blood is burning," Miyamoto said sincerely, "This time I came back from China and saw the scene of Mr. Stephen Chow at work, so I said to myself, Miyamoto, I want to devote all my body and mind to the career of directing, and seniors like Stephen Chow are my role models." ”

"Well, it's better for you not to learn from him." Shen Zhenghui blinked.

"Yes, sometimes I think Mr. Zhou is doing too much, but his attitude towards movies is sincere and serious," Miyamoto didn't know how to understand what Shen Zhenghui meant, "I think this is also a warning to me, I used to think of directing as an identity that can gain fame and profit, and now it seems that I am really too young." ”

For Miyamoto's perception, Shen Zhenghui didn't know how to say him, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on." ”

"Hey, I will." Miyamoto walked to the door, then turned around again, "President Shen, I will try my best to become one of the best directors in Hasuga, I hope you can give me this opportunity." ”

Shen Zhenghui spread out his hands, "Of course," he said, "Kasuga also has great expectations for you, otherwise why would we send you to study with Director Shinji Fukasaku, Director Takeshi Kitano, and Director Zhou." ”

"Yes, thank you!" Miyamoto bowed again, "I'll boldly ask you to cancel it for this dinner," he said, "and now my whole mind is spinning with this story, and I want to grab it and write the script as far as I can." ”

Shen Zhenghui was shocked by his work attitude, and said a little stunned, "Okay, but you pay attention to your body, don't work too hard, combine work and rest, we still need you to shoot many, many movies!" ”

Miyamoto bowed again and walked out of the office quickly.

Shen Zhenghui stood in place, looking at his back a little stunned, has the fate of this director, whom he has never heard of before, changed? No, it should be said that there has been a change a long time ago, and now it is showing in a surprising direction!

Natsumi Horiguchi walked in and looked back at Director Miyamoto in the distance with some surprise.

"Director Miyamoto is in a hurry!"

"He was in a hurry to find his inspiration." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips and said, "You came just in time, let me tell you, Director Miyamoto won't be eating with us tonight, and he is in a hurry to find his muse." ”

"Ahh Natsumi was a little stunned, "I've already made it." ”

"Well, then I'll treat you to a meal to thank you for your hard work this time. Oh, by the way, I'm calling Ayaka Kuroishi, and I've worked hard for her during this time. ”

Nazumi Horiguchi pursed her lips, "Then do you still want to call Miss Liu Xin?" ”

"Of course." Shen Zhenghui nodded, "Speaking of which, she still needs your help with a lot of things over there!" Just let her invite you to dinner in advance. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Natsumi shrugged.

"Oh, do you have something to do?" Only then did Shen Zhenghui ask Horiguchi Nazumi's intentions.

"Oh, the task of "Wukong" that you asked me to find someone to translate has not been out of the website channel of Guò Babel, and a professor at the University of Tokyo and an associate professor of Chinese took on this task and signed a contract saying that it could be translated in half a month."

"He can translate nearly 10,000 words a day, is it really fake?" Shen Zhenghui was a little surprised.

"This, isn't it that you and Miss Liu Xin asked for everything?" Natsumi was a little helpless.

"Well, it's a first draft anyway, and it's a big deal to make elaborate revisions later." Shen Zhenghui asked casually, "What about the websites that are invested in the spring?" Shen Zhenghui doesn't have shares in these websites, so he doesn't particularly care about them.

"It's still burning money!" Natsumi complained.

"It's okay, the turning point is coming." Shen Zhenghui smiled, remembering that he had a whim, and casually boarded the 6 website of the light novel, before Shen Zhenghui's interference gave this website a refreshing and concise page, and the starting point, many Japanese young people chose to express their works on this website, Shen Zhenghui saw a familiar name on the page recommendation, and fell into contemplation all of a sudden. (To be continued!)
