Chapter 422: Not necessarily
Nanako Toshida seemed to have something on her mind the whole time, and it was like this during the banquet, and it was still the same after getting into Kei Fujiwara's car.
Through the curtain of light woven by the street lamp, Nanako Toshida suddenly spoke, "Fujiwara-sensei, do you think I can be a screenwriter?" Fujiwara Kei glanced at him and nodded: "Of course you can, Tokada, you already have creative experience, and this time you won the second prize, and if you exercise for a while, you can even be the main creator." The judges gave you a high evaluation of your work internally. Nanako Toshida remained silent, and after a long while, she said, "Fujiwara-sensei, can I ask you a question?" ”
"You ask."
"I would like to ask, did you deliberately encourage Mr. Miura by giving him the award because he had experienced unfair treatment?"
"Absolutely not." Kei Fujiwara said,
"He won because his work was so good, and it had nothing to do with what he had been through. I don't give any honor to others because of pity. It is also an artifact that supports offline reading, and the expression on Nanako Tokata's face changed slightly, and she asked again: "That...... Mr. Fujiwara, I don't think you will give me the second prize just because you know me? "Kei Fujiwara
"Haha" laughed twice: "You shouldn't have been worrying about this, right?" Nanako Toshida nodded a little embarrassedly: "Indeed, I have always felt deserved this honor because I felt that I knew Fujiwara-sensei, so I have always felt deserved......"
"You're overthinking." Kei Fujiwara said,
"I don't give honor to others because of pity, and naturally I don't give special care because of who I know." Speaking of which, he also gave an example: "We have a screenwriter named Monet Shiraishi, who is also the episode writer of "Tokyo Cinderella", and she also participated in this big prize, but she didn't return in vain, and she didn't even get the second prize. Fujiwara Kei told the details: "She also writes a romantic drama, and she collides with you, between your work and her work, the judges and teachers voted and finally chose yours; felt that her work was really good, so I thought about changing her script to a different category, so I put it into the family drama category, but I still failed. This is the truth, after Monet Shiraishi lost the election, I heard that he was very disappointed, and he fell into self-doubt for a while.
"So don't have too many doubts about your award. If I were to choose cronyism, the first one to choose would be Monet Shiraishi. When Nanako Toshida heard this, her brows suddenly relaxed, and the things that had been annoying her all this time had been answered.
.. After being sent to the vicinity of the Nako community in Tokata, the vehicle slowly stopped, Nanako Toshida got out of the car, and bowed to Kei Fujiwara: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fujiwara, I have strange ideas and I'm causing you trouble." Fujiwara Kei smiled: "It's not a problem, Toshida, you have a fair attitude, even if the result is beneficial to yourself, it is still the same, this is a rare quality." ”
"You've won the prize, Fujiwara-sensei......"
"By the way, you are now a writer and have the qualifications to become a screenwriter, are you willing to come to our company to report on your work?" Nanako Togata nodded repeatedly: "I have it." ”
"That's good, someone will contact you, I hope we will cooperate happily in the future." As he spoke, Kei Fujiwara reached out of the driver's window and shook Nanako Tokata.
…… Two days later, Kei Fujiwara finally met the withdrawn animator. Keiichi Otomo, 45 years old, worked as a pilot when he was young, and later retired from the manga industry and engaged in the manga industry.
Because he was interested in comics, he worked as a children's picture book for a while, and later became an animator by someone else, and began to be an independent animation director in his thirties.
has made several works, and the results are not bad, and now he is well-known in the circle.
Kei Fujiwara looked at his work, and there were advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the picture is exquisite, rich in details, and very craftsman-like, just an ordinary lens picture, which will have extremely rich content, which not only reflects the director's own meticulous observation, but also shows the fine production attitude of the animators.
It is also said that in an era of rapid development of computer technology, it is not possible to insist on using hand-drawn animation to create animation.
Of course, there are also shortcomings, most of Keiichi Otomo's works are self-written and directed, but his stories are too profound, and many times I feel that there are too many things to express, and adults feel quite heavy when they watch it, not to mention that it is the main consumer group of cartoons - children.
"It seems that not only the creative concept is similar, but even the style of the work is similar to that of Hayao Miyazaki......" Kei Fujiwara couldn't help but say in his heart.
Always trying to express profound content in the work, this is also Miyazaki's creative style. For example
The theme of "environmental protection" is reflected again and again in many of Miyazaki's works. This includes, but is not limited to, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.
But Miyazaki is also a master in screenwriting, and he doesn't force it to comprehend the ideas of his works.
If you can understand it, you can understand it, and if you can't understand it, it's also very good to just treat the film as a pure entertainment film.
But Keiichi Otomo's skills in this area are obviously weaker than Miyazaki's. This is also the great thing about Hayao Miyazaki, everyone thinks that he is just a master of animation art, ignoring his amazing talent in screenwriting.
Keiichi Otomo seems to have only the talent on the side of Hayao Miyazaki's animation, and on the writer's side, there is a clear lack of talent.
Kei Fujiwara is needed to make up for him. After seeing Keiichi Otomo, Keiichi Otomo stood up - he was not tall, more than six meters tall, looked a little taciturn, bowed slightly to Keiichi Fujiwara, and then sat down again.
Oshii-an helped introduce the other party.
"Mr. Otomo, this is Mr. Fujiwara, a well-known figure in the broadcasting industry, very young, right, haha, but his achievements should not be underestimated, and now he is a man of the year in the broadcasting industry, the literary world, and the film industry. Now I have my own production company, and I am also interested in animation. ”
"Fujiwara-san, this is Keiichi Otomo, and he can be regarded as half of my teacher. When I was in a class at the Academy of Fine Arts, I took a few classes with Mr. Otomo, and I wanted to paint oil paintings, but it was because of Mr. Otomo's inspiration that I decided to enter the animation industry and experience the joy of this industry. Mr. Otomo is a very good animation director, and I still have a lot to learn from him. ”
"I have admired the daimyo for a long time." Kei Fujiwara held out his hand. Keiichi Otomo also stretched out his hand and shook it with Kei Fujiwara, and then asked directly: "Fujiwara-san, I plan to open a new studio, I heard Oshii say that you intend to inject capital." Fujiwara Kei said, "That's true, and I'm asking for more than 40 percent of the shares." Megumi Otomo shook his head and said, "It's too high, Fujiwara-san." I've experienced the pain of not having absolute control, and if I really want to make my own thing, I personally have to own more than 67% of the shares. ”
"Do you have any money?"
"I can borrow it."
"Is there a bank willing to lend it to you?"
"There must be." Megumi Otomo nodded and said with a serious expression, he is also well-known in the animation industry, and it should not be difficult to open an animation studio and take out a loan.
He thought so. But Fujiwara Kei suddenly thought of something at this time, he pinched his fingers and said in his heart: That's not necessarily.
Because of the financial tsunami, it may be just around the corner......
