Just when the Red Army was in full swing, Tang Ning was frowning at Osamu Tezuka in the office. It's not because of anything else, but because today Osamu Tezuka handed him three samples, claiming to be a trilogy of adult animations that he has been contemplating with great concentration.

In fact, in later generations, Osamu Tezuka did make a trilogy of adult animations: "A Thousand Nights and One Night Story" in 1969, "Cleopatra" in 1970, and "Bellathona the Sorrowful" in 1973.

The so-called "adult animation" was positioned as having the existence of that description at the time, and in the three works, the pictures that depict inappropriate children are full of literary and abstract painting atmosphere, which fully reflects the rich imagination of Osamu Tezuka. But now it seems that adult animation should not only involve this aspect, but also have the profound themes and connotations of adult society and real life, and it is different from ordinary childish animation.

The first two "A Thousand Nights and One Night Story" and "Cleopatra" are like two pots of mixed vegetable soup, the ingredients are very rich and both are delicious, but after everything is boiled in, the taste may not be as good as imagined, and these two animations give people such a feeling. "A Thousand Nights and One Night Story" tells the story of the "gangster" Arudin's fortune and his fantastical journey along the way, "Cleopatra" is another new interpretation of the beauty plan revenge, portraying Caesar like a fool, and finally discovering that the pharaohs and Octavian of Egypt are both gay. Why do you connect "A Thousand Nights and One Night Story" and "Cleopatra" together, mainly because I think that whether it is the style of painting or the telling of the story, to some low-level jokes, they all belong to the same category.

Compared with the first two films, "Sad Bella Turna" is definitely the best of the three, both in terms of painting style and storyline. I like the pictures of "Sad Bellatuna", which are all made of gouache paintings, and the colors are faint. It's very beautiful, just like a comic strip slowly moving on to the story, because of the relationship between the pictures, "Sad Bella Turna" completely gives people a sad feeling, the color, the picture is used so well! And the music is great too. Beautiful girl forced slave and husband forced newlywed. was supposed to start a new happy life, but on the wedding night, the slave was forcibly exercised by the lord and took away his virginity, because of this, the husband Qiang could not forgive the slave and drank all day long. Later, Qiang could not complete the lord's tax collection task, and was cut off by his hand, and the slave was forced to survive for the sake of his family. She sold her body to a dark demon and became a tax collector, and the people of the village began to embrace her. The lord was dissatisfied with the high prestige of the slave, so he punished her for being possessed by the devil, and then the slave escaped, and became a real vassal of the devil and became a witch in people's mouths. After the outbreak of the Black Death, the slave used her magical powers to help many sick people recover. Because of the magical and powerful power, the strong slave is respected by everyone. In the end, the lord tricked the slave's husband to take her back to the castle and convict her of the witch's crime and burn her alive. "Mournful Bella Turna" is a sad story about the process of a kind and beautiful girl who is forced to become a shrine maiden, and it is a sad story with strong medieval colors.

However, Tang Ning didn't want to agree to Tezuka's request at this time. Because he felt that now was not the time to develop this kind of animation, he pondered for a moment and said to Osamu Tozuka: "Worm-san, your idea is very good, especially "Sad Bella Turna" is definitely a work that can win awards. But I don't think it's time to develop it now.,After all, the Japanese animation market has just started operating.,Works of your genre.,The impact is too strong.,I'm afraid the society won't be able to accept it for a while.。 ”

Osamu Tezuka asked a little puzzled, "I know there are more adult shots in this series, but now the streets are full of pink movies and private theaters, and my adult animation is nothing compared to these large-scale things, so I think it should be fine." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said: "Brother Worm, you are wrong, these two cannot be compared together, no matter what, animation is oriented to children in the perception of the general public, even if you want to reflect the adult society in it, reflect the theme and connotation of real life, you should not add too many adult shots, or don't add at all, otherwise there will definitely be defenders coming to denounce you." ”

Osamu Tezuka said depressedly: "To be honest, sometimes I really think that Chinese people are very hypocritical, obviously I like one thing in my heart, but on the surface, I still pretend to be a decent man, and some people even grasp a detail to attack and slander the whole work." ”

Tang Ning smiled: "There is no way to do this, in fact, adult comics or animation are not without a way out, but it takes time for the comics industry to slowly expand its own field, and after the emergence of comics of all ages and knowledge levels, the adult animation market can be regarded as mature." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Ning seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "Actually, you can refer to Miyazaki's creativity, his overall view is stronger than yours, when I chatted with him a while ago, he said that he wanted to make an animated film that reflected post-war life and anti-war themes, I think this idea is good, and your apprentices, Fujiko Fujio and the two brothers, they recently designed the theme of the future robot cat, I think it is also very interesting." ”

Osamu Tezuka said with some surprise: "You mean the manga that Hiroshi Fujimoto and Suo Yasuko are tinkering with?" But don't you think that's too naïve? ”

Downing's heart is a little naïve, but this Doraemon has been popular for more than half a century, and it is loved by children all over the world, until the Olympic Games are held again in Tokyo in the future, and you still use this blue fat man as a mascot when the Olympic Games are held again in Tokyo, and do you think your "Astro Boy" is not naïve?

So Downing explained: "Although it is indeed a little naïve in the eyes of us adults, but this comic is originally made for children, which is in line with the acceptance of children, many of the props in it are very creative, and it can also have a little bit of educational significance, and the end of the story is to tell the children that if their own quality is not improved, even if they have more props, it will not work, so I think if you promote it, the results should be good." ”
