This time, Bluestar Technology sent someone to ask the big director in the animation industry to handle the matter of Hatsune Miku's promotion of the film, and talked to a total of ten big directors before and after, and these ten directors are also the world's top ten famous animation directors.

Their works have become world-famous animation masters with stunning graphics, vivid tones, and wonderful themes, and these directors have injected life into the world of animation, making anime a mainstream culture in today's world.

Names like "Pikachu" are still full of nostalgia.

There is really a lack of directors in this area in China, and there is no way to do this, so I can only invite foreigners, and on the other hand, inviting the director of this book is also helpful to develop the local market.

Of course, there is no shortage of animation masters in Europe and the United States, but it is obvious that the director of the same cultural circle is relatively more suitable.

Bluestar Technology sent someone to talk about cooperation this time, and Hayao Miyazaki was among the top ten directors, and the popularity of this director does not need to be said too much.

His 2001 film Spirited Away was the first film to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.

In addition to Miyazaki, there are also such as:

Noboru Ishiguro: representative works such as "Macross Fortress", "Astro Boy", "Legend of Galactic Heroes" and other works;

Yuki Tomino: representative works such as "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Astro Boy";

Mamoru Oshii: Representative works such as "Lucky Star Kid 2: Qili Dream Man";

Shinichiro Watanabe: representative works such as "Interstellar Cowboy" and "Chaos Samurai";

Hideaki Anno: This student of Hayao Miyazaki has works such as "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and "Nadia of the Incredible Sea";

Katsuhiro Otomo: Representative works such as "Akira" and "Labyrinth Story";

Takahata Xun: representative works such as "The Grave of Fireflies";

Osamu Tezuka: Representative works such as "Amu Tong" and "The Great Forest Emperor".

Satoshi Kon: His representative works include "The House of the Ministry" and "Red Hot Peppers".

About these ten animation masters, Bluestar Technology has been to find and talked, and everyone listened to the requirements and budget investment of Bluestar Technology, especially the investment of 450 million US dollars.

One by one, they were surprisingly unanimous in an exclamation of "Nani", and they were petrified on the spot.

This was their first reaction when they learned of this, and after confirming that it was correct, there was only one thought in their minds:

Lose your marbles!!!

There's no doubt that the sheer amount of creative freedom and a $450 million horror budget is a fatal attraction for these great animators, and a budget that is so big that it means that it can be a masterpiece that can be built into the history of animation.

They really can't understand this behavior of Bluestar Technology, these big groups really have money and nowhere to spend?

As an IT giant, Bluestar Technology is indeed a layman in film entertainment, and generally goes for fame, so I very much hope to ask Hayao Miyazaki to take charge of Hatsune Miku's promotional films.

However, there is one important point, Bluestar Technology has also done a very good job, that is, knowing that he is a layman, he will not interfere too much, just provide funds and logistics, and let professionals polish them.

It's not good to buy the director's hands and feet or something, cough cough......

Interestingly, while these animation masters were excited, more than half of them wanted to take over the collaboration, but the other half politely declined while saying that they wanted to be the director of this work, and tried their best to recommend a ruffian colleague Hideaki Anno to direct the work, including director Hayao Miyazaki, the industry's number one name, is also one of his recommenders.

After understanding some of the basic requirements of Bluestar Technology, these recommenders admit that their personal style may ruin the birth of a classic work, and Hideaki Anno, who almost single-handedly completed the creation of "Neon Genesis Evangelion", is an animation director who is very much in line with the requirements of Bluestar Technology.

The final director was confirmed, and it was Hideaki Anno.

……

In mid-June, Hideaki Anno came to Bluestar Technology.

"To be honest, director Hideaki Anno, there are a lot of people in my company who are trying to stop me from choosing you to direct, and when I insist on doing so and making a decision, it feels like the sky is about to fall."

At this moment, a man sitting opposite Luo Sheng was Anno Hideaki, who had rushed from Yuben to meet Luo Sheng.

"Mr. Luo, in fact, I can't believe it." Hideaki Anno said that he communicates in English, so he doesn't need to bring a translator with him.

Hideaki Anno is known as a ruffian in the industry, and it is said that he has intensified conflicts with the audience, and has also received a large number of threatening letters and even bullets.

In an interview, he openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the audience, threatened to "educate" the audience, and then began to disgust the audience by playing with the characters, and satirized the audience who invested in the virtual characters through Shinji's psychology and behavior.

And Bluestar Technology's "virtual idol" plan is precisely to put people into virtual characters.

Because of this, the project department unanimously objected to Luo Sheng's choice of Hideaki Anno to direct the promotional film of the "Virtual Idol" plan, because Anno has a criminal record.

This time he was given enough creative freedom, and the project team was really afraid that Hideaki Anno would be foolish, and once this kind of thing happened, it would not only be a matter of losing the budget of $450 million, but also pay an even more expensive time cost.

"I've always liked to make the impossible possible, and I think there's a strong connection between people and their work, but it's also distinctive, and of course from a viewer's point of view, I'd love to send you a blade." Luo Sheng looked at Anye with a smile and added: "To tell the truth, you guy is holding EVA to sell albums and sell peripherals to make crazy money, no matter how the audience reacts, take revenge on the audience, especially EVA fans." ”

"Do you also look at my work?" Hideaki Anno couldn't help but feel flattered when he heard what he said, he didn't expect such a big-name audience.

For Luo Sheng, the audience, Hideaki Anno said that he didn't dare to be scared or offended, and he could spend an incredible 450 million US dollars to make a pure CG animated film for advertising.

This kind of person can't be offended, what if he buys his hands and feet?

Anno Hideaki is actually very empty, don't look at Luo Sheng's youth, but the aura released by his every move, word and deed crushed the 47-year-old Anno to death.

A big guy is a big guy.

"Of course, why not?" Luo Sheng spread his hands, and then added with a smile: "In fact, the outside world has always positioned me as a leader in the technology and business worlds, but it ignores the side that I have as an ordinary person, especially a young person, I also play video games, watch animation, and listen to music." ”

Anno Hideaki said in his heart: Are you an ordinary person? I believe you are a ghost, ordinary people can achieve such an achievement? Will there be this leisure time?

Obviously, Anye was deeply skeptical of Luo Sheng's words, how could he have time to play games and watch animations when he was in charge of such a large group company, to be exact?

Unless there are 48 hours in a day.

Polite words, just listen to it, Anno reminded himself in his heart.

Luo Sheng is not suspicious of employing people, and immediately went straight to the point: "Director Hideaki Anno, I have given you the theme of Hatsune Miku's promotional video, I will not interfere with your creation, including scripts and the like, and the company and the project department will not interfere, and provide you with all the resources and logistics you need, I will provide you with what you want." ”

"But I only have one request, before the end of this year, give me a classic masterpiece of about 90 minutes, and even if the budget of $450 million is not enough, I can add it. But if you mess up, I'm going to make it impossible for you to get involved in the animation world, even if it costs me a billion dollars, which means you're going to gamble your entire career, or even ......."

Hearing Luo Sheng's undisguised threat, Anno Hideaki laughed dryly on the surface, but in fact, his third leg was shaking, he had never seen such a ruthless one, and his heart was empty to death.

This Nima has a big deal.

Listening to Luo Sheng's tone, if it is really messed up, it is a trivial matter to be spent on hands and feet, and no one will be gone.

Do you have to take such a big risk to create art?

Anye really didn't dare to doubt Luo Sheng's words, it can be seen from the 450 million budget to make a movie for advertising, this is clearly a master who does not treat money as money, offending such a world's top rich, a small director, I am afraid that the whole world has no place.

"I'll do my best." Hideaki Anno said weakly.

"Don't panic, don't take it seriously if you're joking with you, I respect artists very much, just create with peace of mind." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Anye said in his heart that he was even more panicked, he knew that this would be the case, and he would not accept this order if he said anything, but now it is obviously too late to regret it.

Sure enough, there are no free benefits in this world for people to take for nothing.

In this way, this ruffian director intimidated Luo Sheng at all without following the routine, and gave Zhizhi a good obedience in minutes, and honestly engaged in creation.

In a sense, it is easier to produce classic masterpieces, from ancient examples, or ancient buildings, or porcelain, etc., the reason why those skilled craftsmen can create ancient and modern artistic treasures, in addition to their own exquisite skills, are also doing it with their heads, and if the ruler is not satisfied, he will lose his head.

Luo Sheng is not a person who sticks to form, and can take unconventional means when necessary, and a talented ruffian director like Anno has to use unconventional means.

After all, motivation comes from stress.

Compared with Luo Sheng's way of exerting pressure, the audience is simply weak in sending blades and threatening letters.
