Chapter 340: The Witch's Express

After listening to Yuta Fujiwara's translation, Master Miyazaki replied without even having time to think, "Even if the 3D animation you said could be popular, I would continue to stick to the current animation." If I had to describe it, it would be as if the camera was now widespread, but there were still traditional painters who painted. I'm the kind of traditional painter who insists on painting. ”

This answer completely made Song Mu determine the gap between her and Master Miyazaki, which made her feel irritated and taken for granted. Under the domination of this contradictory feelings, Song Mu couldn't help but sigh: "Perhaps, this is the real difference between an artist like you and a producer like me......"

In the face of Song Mu's praise, Master Miyazaki showed the same posture as always: "Miss Song, we just chose different directions on the road of pursuing art, which does not mean who is high and who is low, so there is no need to be so arrogant. ”

Song Mu didn't really put herself at the level of an artist because Master Miyazaki said that, only she knew her own affairs best, she knew that she was really just an animation practitioner, nothing more.

But this kind of question has no point in arguing, Song Mu has fully satisfied his curiosity, and simply changed the topic directly: "Speaking of which, in addition to the additional computers, I also see that there are a lot of Doudoulong decorations in your company." ”

"Yes, all of those Beanie Dragons are made by you. They have almost become the signature of our desert heat. Hearing Song Mu mention Doudoulong, Master Miyazaki's face showed a trace of gratitude mixed with emotion: "Who would have thought that although the box office of "Doudoulong" was unsatisfactory, these images have helped us earn back far more than the box office. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember a funny thing, and he couldn't help laughing for a moment, and then tried hard to control the urge to laugh and said to Song Mu and others: "Speaking of which, thanks to these surrounding blessings, many theaters have found us, saying that they want to re-screen "Doudou Dragon", and asked us if we are willing." ”

Seeing that Master Miyazaki was smiling happily, Song Mu also joked: "So did Mr. Miyazaki agree?" If it is really as Mr. Miyazaki said, the re-release of "Beanie Dragon" is estimated to be higher than the original box office, right? ”

Master Miyazaki shook his head and said, "Although Takada has repeatedly said that if "Beanie Dragon" is released again, the "Witch's Express" I am currently producing will get more funding, but I think that since it has passed, I might as well let it pass, so I didn't agree." ”

Song Mu couldn't quite understand Master Miyazaki's artist-like choice: "Since the past is all over, why not let it exert its residual heat and pave a broader path for your next animation?" "The Witch's Express" should be adapted from that one, right? It costs a lot of money to buy copyrights. ”

"The Witch's Express" Song Mu knows, this animation is adapted from the same name "The Witch's Express", which can be said to be the beginning of the desert hot wind turning losses into profits, and it was released in the country that year, attracting more than 2 million people to watch the movie, creating a box office of more than 4 billion national dollars, becoming the highest-grossing movie in the country that year.

"Oh? Miss Song has watched the original of "The Witch's Express"? Master Miyazaki did not answer Song Mu's question, but was curious that she actually knew about this work.

Of course I haven't seen it, but I've seen your film countless times! Song Mu complained in her heart, but she couldn't answer like this, she affirmed with her usual expression: "Yes, I have read the original, so I can't understand your choice." Moreover, with the spread of the image of "Doudou Dragon", there must be many viewers who missed it who also want to make up for their regrets, so that these audiences do not have the opportunity to see the great work of "Doudou Dragon" in the cinema, won't it also become a regret for "Doudou Dragon"? ”

"Sometimes, regret is also a kind of beauty." Master Miyazaki replied first, and then winked mischievously, "Besides, isn't there a videotape version?" If you really want to watch it, you can watch the tape at home to make up for it. ”

"And what about the production budget for "The Witch's Express"......?" Song Mu still refused to let go of this problem.

Master Miyazaki actually didn't want to answer this question very much, but he had already been asked three times by Song Mu, and it would be a little rude to avoid talking about it again. Master Miyazaki sighed and said, "Witch's Express...... Perhaps there is no need for production expenses anymore. ”

Master Miyazaki's Students: "......"

Sun Liang, Shen Chang and others: "??? ”

Song Mu: "!! ”

As Master Miyazaki's words came out, the warm atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became a little cold.

Song Mu was a little unclear about the reason for each of the people present, but Song Mu suddenly remembered something.

This incident was so insignificant in Song Mu's huge memory that she didn't remember it at all before Master Miyazaki said it. Today's Literature Network

It wasn't until Master Miyazaki said that "The Witch's Express may no longer need production funds" that that memory came back to her mind - the original author of "The Witch's Express" did not agree with the adaptation of this work into a movie, so that the anime "The Witch's Express" was almost stillborn.

Because of this kind of thing, Mr. Miyazaki didn't want to talk about it? Song Mu secretly thought in his heart: "However, "The Witch's Express" was finally filmed. It's not just as simple as shooting, it's even become a hit! ’

Just when Song Mu was thinking nonsense, Master Miyazaki also felt the oppression of the atmosphere in the room, he coughed lightly, and after attracting everyone's attention to himself, he showed a not so bright smile and said: "Miss Song, don't think about it, it's all a matter inside our desert hot wind, don't let this ruin everyone's interest." ”

"It's not a bad idea." Song Mu could see the reluctance on Master Miyazaki's face, and didn't want him to feel uncomfortable about it, so Song Mu casually relieved: "Come on, Mr. Miyazaki, the results of "The Witch's Express" must be very good after the animation is made, and the hot desert wind will soar from now on." ”

Because it was said casually, Song Mu didn't notice that the position she was standing on was after the release of "The Witch's Express", but Master Miyazaki didn't know this.

Even if Song Mu personally admitted that she had watched "The Witch's Express" and knew what "The Witch's Express" had achieved in the end, it was impossible for Master Miyazaki to believe what she said.

Therefore, Master Miyazaki only guessed that Song Mu was worried about the results of "The Witch's Express" after its release, which made him, who didn't want to talk about it, couldn't help but smile bitterly at Song Mu: "Thank you Miss Song for your comfort, but this matter is not what you think, in fact, it is the author of "The Witch's Express" himself, who does not agree to adapt this work into an animated film. Now that "Witch's Express" has been temporarily suspended, this temporary is also likely to become a permanent ......"

Speaking of this, Master Miyazaki sighed: "If "The Witch's Express" becomes a permanent shutdown, where is the need for more money? ”

After listening to Master Miyazaki's words, Song Mu found that Master Miyazaki seemed to be wrong, and carefully recalled what she had just said, and then realized that what seemed to be just now was indeed prone to ambiguity.

The problem is that she can't give a reasonable explanation yet, and if she doesn't give an explanation, Miyazaki's misunderstanding is even more plausible.

For a moment, Song Mu couldn't think of a more reasonable statement, so he simply opened his mouth and led the topic in another direction: "Why doesn't the author want to make "The Witch's Express" into an animation? ”

Maybe this question asked Master Miyazaki's itch, or maybe Master Miyazaki couldn't take it after he said it, in short, he didn't run away from the questions related to "The Witch's Express", but gave the answer directly: "Since Miss Song has read the original work, she should know that "The Witch's Express" is actually a relatively relaxed and heartwarming little story, but its dramatic tension is insufficient, and there is no big scene and story climax that the audience needs, so we made a bold adaptation of the original book...... This is a bit difficult, so please wait a minute. ”

After speaking, he said to the people on the side, "You go to Suzuki and get a copy of the script." ”

The man got up and went out in response, and Master Miyazaki continued to say to Song Mu: "Miss Song, let's take a look at our adapted script directly, as long as you read the script, I believe you will understand." ”

It was three or four minutes before the man came back with a stack of scripts. He handed over the script to Master Miyazaki, who in turn passed it on to Song Mu.

Because they are all in Mandarin, Song Mu couldn't understand it directly, so he had to ask Fujiwara Yuta to read it to her word by word.

For a while, only Fujiwara Yuta's voice was still echoing in the reception room, and Song Mu and his entourage, except for Song Mu, listened quietly to the content of the script.

As for Song Mu himself, after listening to the beginning, he went directly out of the world......

I can understand after reading the script...... But this script is just like the animation I've seen in my last life! I haven't seen it, but it's actually the original book! Compare the finished animation with the animation script, and I can compare a ball! Song Mu's heart roared.

After the roar, Song Mu began to think hard, thinking about how he could fool the past for a while: 'Mr. Miyazaki said that the original book is a light-hearted little story, and that it lacks big scenes and climaxes? Other words...... The climax of those airship accidents or something,Aren't they originally in the original book.,But the animation plot needs to be added? ’

After this bold idea popped up in his mind, Song Mu suddenly felt that he seemed to have a way to fool the past......
