However, he didn't care too much about Misora Skylark's joining Kobe Performing Arts Company, because he had already learned from Matsuda Yoshiko's inside line that Misora Skylark had an extremely unclear relationship with Kazuo Taoka, and it was precisely because of Kazuo Taoka's protection that Misora Skylark was able to develop smoothly in the entertainment industry.

And it won't take two years for the so-called "Skylark Scandal" to happen, the cause is that Misora Lark's brother Tetsuya Kato took advantage of the popularity of Misora Skylark, and also started his acting career in the entertainment industry under the stage name of 'Ono Toru ', and then because he couldn't control it, in the 48th year of Showa, that is, in 1963, he successively committed gambling, gambling for profit, illegal possession of firearms, injury and other crimes, and the Misora Lark's family could not explain the relationship with the underworld clearly, causing a nationwide storm of rejection. Civic activity centers and other companies all politely rejected the performance of Misora Skylark, which had a great impact on Misora Skylark's career.

Although you don't have to care about the skylark, you have to pay attention to the cooperation between Kazuo Taoka and Toei, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble for your East Asian film and television to develop, it seems that you have to have a good chat with Akira Kurosawa, and by the way, recall what good films you can learn from in the next few years.

The two chatted and walked towards the film company, and as soon as they arrived at the door of the company, they happened to meet Osamu Tezuka coming out, and for the company's only cash cow, Tang Ning and Sakurai are very respectful, because now the cartoon "Astro Boy" is so popular that it has set a record of 30% of the national average rating, and the highest once reached 40.7% of the super high ratings. Because many film companies are poaching Osamu Tezuka, fortunately, Osamu Tezuka's ethics are still quite good, and because it was Tang Ning who dug up and provided him with ideas, he resolutely did not change jobs.

But today it was obvious that he had something on his mind, and he didn't have time to greet Tang Ning, so he said directly: "Boss Tang Ning." You've just arrived, and I have a business to discuss with you. ”

Tang Ning nodded: "Well, Tezuka, you say, what's going on?" ”

Osamu Tezuka frowned and said, "Boss, a young man came to apply just now, and he is very good." But his production philosophy is completely different from ours, and I feel that his path is more suitable for Hollywood's high-input and high-output direction. ”

Downing also had a bit of a headache when he heard this, because of the limited cost and production speed, Japanese animation has always taken the path of low cost and high output, and it was not until the eighties and nineties that a batch of high-cost and high-quality animation movies such as "Castle in the Sky" and "Spirited Away" emerged, after thinking about it, Downing asked: "Are you sure this young man is very good?" ”

"It's really good, and it's highly educated and talented. Why don't you go meet him, boss. ”

After following Osamu Tezuka to his office, Tang Ning met this young man who was highly praised by Osamu Tezuka, this young man had a delicate face and was a little shy, and as soon as he sat down, Osamu Tezuka introduced: "This is the boss of our company, Mr. Tang Ning and Mr. Sakurai, this is Hayao Miyazaki, a very talented rising star." ”

Hearing this name, Tang Ning couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart that this person really couldn't help but chatter. Just now, I was thinking about "Castle in the Sky" and "Spirited Away", but now I actually saw Hayao Miyazaki. Is there really a providence in the dark?

If Osamu Tezuka is the master of the generation who created Japanese animation, then Hayao Miyazaki is the biggest contributor to the development and growth of Japanese animation, going to the world, and winning the Oscar. His "Spirited Away" won the 75th Academy Award for Best Feature-Length Animation in 2001 and the 87th Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2015.

Hayao Miyazaki can be said to be a legend in the Japanese animation industry, and without him, Japan's animation industry would be greatly inferior. He was the first thinker to elevate animation to a humanistic level, and he was also a spiritual pillar for three generations of Japanese animators. Hayao Miyazaki while breaking the shadow of Osamu Tezuka's giant of insects. With his resolute character and uncompromising struggle, he has set an example for future generations of animators.

Because of this respect in his heart, Tang Ning took the initiative to reach out and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Miyazaki, do you want to come to our company?" ”

Miyazaki didn't know why Tang Ning was so polite to him, so he said with a slight trepidation: "That's right. Mr. Downing. I've always loved manga, and I used to want to be a manga artist, but then I realized that I really didn't have the talent for it, and then I saw Mr. Tezuka's "Astro Boy", and I suddenly realized that I could animate, so I didn't have to be original, and I could put all my favorite works on the screen. Because I admire Mr. Tezuka very much, I hope to join your company and have the opportunity to learn from Mr. Tezuka. ”

Tang Ning asked again: "But I heard Mr. Tezuka Osamu say that you are different from his creative philosophy." ”

Hayao Miyazaki explains, "There are indeed differences, and I feel that if the cost of Astro Boy's 100 episodes were put into one episode, the effect would definitely be much better than it is now." Of course, I also know that my idea is not very realistic, if it is really filmed like this, the company will definitely lose money, but this is definitely the direction of the future development of anime films. ”

After chatting for a while, Tang Ning understood why Miyazaki had such an idea, in fact, it has a lot to do with his upbringing, he was born in 1941, just 19 years old this year, and his family runs an aircraft manufacturing factory, so even in the late stage of the war, he can maintain a fairly subsistence life, and he has not been short of money since he was a child, and naturally he will not have any specific concepts about cost control. Moreover, he is the second son in the family, and the eldest son inherits the family business, so he can choose his own career according to his liking, so he has created a more romantic artistic concept.

However, the strange thing is that in this kind of family and this kind of growth environment, he unexpectedly had thoughts and doubts about the privileges of the family, which can be clearly seen from his later works, especially the anime film "Grave of the Fireflies", although it did not achieve much commercial success, but its artistic achievements cannot be erased, and I think this is Miyazaki's most touching and contemplative anti-war film.
