Evening.

Ching Chi Won strolls down the path outside Studio Ghibli.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the gaps in the forest's cascading leaves, dappling the light and shadow and falling to the ground.

On the cleaned streets, there is a touch of warm red.

At the entrance of Studio Ghibli, there is a wooden bench.

At first, Qing Zhiyuan didn't quite understand why Miyazaki wanted to put such a chair outside, and originally thought it was an ornament, because the shape of the chair was also unique, and there were two small wind chimes hanging on it.

However, when he got closer, he noticed two small children sitting on the bench.

The children are not very old, about 6 or 7 years old.

One boy, one girl.

In the autumn of October, the girl also wears a skirt, which is the kind of layered gauze skirt, which looks like a bright and moving little princess.

It feels like coming out of the cartoon.

When Qing Zhiyuan walked outside the house, he happened to meet Hayao Miyazaki, who was about to get off work.

"Huh? Qingsang, why are you here? ”

"Just passing by, stop by and say hello, see if you're still there, if there's no one, I'll be ready to wander back." Qing Zhiyuan smiled.

That being said.

Actually, Qing Zhiyuan is indeed a little worried about the animation progress of "Princess Mononoke", but he is embarrassed to urge Hayao Miyazaki, so he wants to come and have a look.

Miyazaki, a master of standards, an idealist, an inspirationist.

If he didn't have inspiration today, he wouldn't have made any progress at all.

It is even possible to draw for a few days in a row, and suddenly feel that the previous manuscripts were all waste, so they tore all the manuscripts and threw them in the trash.

Tearing down and starting over is a common thing for Miyazaki.

"Ha, I'm just about to get off work, why don't you come in and sit down?"

Studio Ghibli is really Ching Chi Yuan's ideal, the whole home with a fairy tale atmosphere, and there are heavy and beautiful curtains outside the window, if you don't know that this is a company, it is really no different from a villa.

"Does it bother you?" Qing Zhiyuan smiled.

"It's fine."

Hayao Miyazaki waved his hand, "Just in time to help me move the chair in." ”

"Huh?"

Qing Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, "Do you still have to move this chair in?" ”

"Hmm."

Hayao Miyazaki nodded, "The main thing is that I'm afraid of rain, or being damaged at night when no one is around." ”

"I'm also the first to come to the office every morning and move it out."

"Don't you feel tired?" Qing Zhiyuan asked curiously.

"Not at all." Miyazaki laughed, revealing a large pear vortex.

"It's also a resting place for children and those who love Ghibli."

"Ah~ I see."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

Miyazaki smiled and wiped his hands on his apron as he walked over to the two children.

"Well, that's all for today, I'll have to move the chair in."

When the two children heard him, they reluctantly got down from the bench and stood on the ground.

The girl obediently walked up to Miyazaki and bowed to him.

"Thank you for Castle in the Sky"

"Haha, thank you too."

Hayao Miyazaki reached out his big hand and stroked her forehead.

The girl took the boy and said goodbye and ran away.

I don't know why, when Qing Zhiyuan saw this scene, especially when he heard the girl say [Thank you Sky City], there was an inexplicable touch in his heart.

"I really envy you, Miyazaki-sensei." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"No, I have nothing to envy."

"Carrying the hopes and dreams of the children, and being grateful."

Qing Zhiyuan said, it's really strange, everyone is working hard to chase their dreams, bringing a beautiful and warm experience to the audience/players, why do I receive all the blades and scolding?

"You'll have this day too." Hayao Miyazaki smiled and encouraged.

……

The two of them went to the second floor, and Miyazaki turned on the lights, and at the same time invited him to sit down on a chair and make a pot of tea himself.

"Well, let's sit down casually, I've been busy lately, it's really a bit messy."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded and looked silently.

There are a lot of original drawings on the wall with thumbtacks.

It can be seen that it is basically from the hands of Hayao Miyazaki.

And these paintings are not storyboards, they are original paintings, which can be regarded as a frame in the entire cartoon.

For example, the city in the sky has a large structural diagram, which is the structure of the entire city floating in the clouds, like a large multi-layered cake, and the colors are also very rich.

However, unlike what is shown in the animated movie, when Qing Zhiyuan looks closely, he can see that there are many lines drawn with pencils.

It's obvious.

That's what inspiration is used to find the blueprint.

And then look at Porco Rosso, Lupin III, My Neighbor Totoro......

"I found something very interesting." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"These original drawings are all the most critical designs in every movie, and you can feel the infinite creativity as soon as you see them, just like the needle of the whole animation."

"Well, awesome!"

Miyazaki gave him a thumbs up.

"I'm a person who works differently than many animators." Miyazaki sat in a chair with his feet apart, his large apron resting on his knees.

"Some people like to use text as a script, some people start writing a script after thinking about the story first, and some people just draw a storyboard.

What about me?

I don't like words, I like to draw them directly.

You have to find the most important thing first.

As soon as this thing appeared, then all the stories were there. ”

Qing Zhiyuan glanced back and found that the old man was quite proud when he said this.

You're really embarrassed.

It's because of your creative style that the progress is slow, okay?

To some extent, Miyazaki has a rivalry with the famous Chinese director Wong Kar-wai.

At first, I didn't think about what kind of movie I wanted to make.

It was probably just a vague impression, or even a name, and then I started shooting.

In the process of shooting, it is a process of constantly looking for inspiration.

When inspiration comes, then draw the keyframes and think about the story.

It is possible that the story will come all at once, and then the overall production process will be smooth.

What if you don't come?

Then this one person will have to delay all the progress of everyone.

In terms of creative methods, Qing Zhiyuan has nothing to say.

The master has his own unique way of working, and perhaps this is the reason why Miyazaki's animation is so good-looking, not bound by time and the pressure of the outside world.

It's all about chasing what you really want.

However, as a partner, even for the employees of the project, it is actually quite difficult to meet such a master.

Because you don't know when you're going to start working.

The original storyboard is the basis of everything, equivalent to the design drawings of the construction, without which it simply cannot work.

And this thing, only Hayao Miyazaki is doing, or by shaking the dice.

It was at this moment that Qing Zhiyuan discovered the painting of "Princess Mononoke".

In fact, it is quite conspicuous, just in the middle of the other wall, and you can see that the new degree of the drawing paper has only recently been nailed.

He couldn't help but stand up and get closer.

The painting on the wall is a very classic scene -

Princess Mononoke wears a mask, rides on the back of a white wolf, holds a dagger in her hand, and the overall color is dark, even in the back of Princess Mononoke's back, it is almost black.

In such an environment, Princess Mononoke and the white wolf suddenly become extremely prominent, and with the movement and blurred lines, they express the sense of charge at this time.

It's very tense.

It's a sense of speed.

"Wow, Miyazaki-sensei, you've found the answer." Qing Zhiyuan stared at the words on the wall and sighed.

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's words, Miyazaki couldn't help but laugh with relief.

"Your eyes are amazing. That's the answer I only came up with yesterday. ”

Seeing this, Qing Zhiyuan's heart is a little more stable, everything is developing in a good direction, now that Miyazaki has found the key frame he wants, then the production of "Princess Mononoke" should not be a big problem.

"However, I can't always think of a particularly good final performance scene when it comes to unicorns."

Miyazaki lit himself a cigarette and reached out to scratch his head.

Damn!

Don't overturn it!

"Huh? What does that mean? ”

Although Qing Zhiyuan was a little worried in his heart, in order to avoid stimulating the old man's sensitive nerves and causing it to affect his future painting, he still pretended to be calm and asked casually.

"A sense of sacredness and oppression,"

Miyazaki raised his hand and gestured in the air, "It's hard to catch this feeling." ”

He stood up, walked to his wooden table, and picked up a painting he had just drawn today.

Qing Zhiyuan looked at it and probably found the problem.

The composition and color of Miyazaki's painting itself have nothing to say, but in such a picture, there is still a gap between the mountain beast god seen by Qing Zhiyuan and what he imagined.

The destructive power is strong, as a terrible breach has been opened throughout the forest.

However, there is no sense of awe.

"The bigger something is, the more oppressive and shocking it is." Qing Zhiyuan thought about it and said, "But, I think there is another condition. ”

"Huh?"

"Slow."

"Slow?" Miyazaki's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped something.

"One more point." Qing Zhiyuan continued, "The sense of awe does not have to be through destruction, but it can also be in other forms, such as withering and corruption......

The mountain beast god itself is in charge of death and rebirth, so when expressing its negative effects, can you portray this feeling of slowly withering? ”

"Ahh

Miyazaki was agitated and stood up from his chair.

He finally understood.

"Thank you so much, Qingsang, you came at the right time today, and you woke me up all of a sudden."

"Berserk has nothing to do with awe, and it's great that you made me understand that."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled with satisfaction.

No, these are all things that you will do in the future, I just discussed with you in advance what you think about the future.

The two chatted until late, almost at about 1 o'clock in the morning, when Qing Zhiyuan left Ghibli.

Although the body is very tired, the brain is extremely excited.

Very good.

This time it was stable.

As long as Miyazaki's thoughts are sorted out, "Princess Mononoke" should be done quickly.

The game will hopefully be released next year.

……

In October, the PV of Pokeni's new game "To the Moon" was broadcast on TV.

The picture begins with a round moon hanging in the sky.

A boy and a girl sat on a broken log on the lawn, looking up at the sky.

There are many stars in the sky, and it is very beautiful.

In terms of painting style, it adopts the dreamy fairy tale style of "The Man in the Bed", and this time it is used to the fullest, making people have endless fantasies about this starry sky.

Immediately after, soothing music flowed slowly, and some words appeared on the screen:

[This is a story about memory]

[This is a story about love and promise]

【To the Moon】

……

This is followed by some in-game clips and gameplay demonstrations.

[New Decryption Element]

[When the truth is peeled away step by step, that moment...... What will happen? 】

On the tower, the lights flickered.

Men and women gently snuggled up to each other and danced.

Although there are only two shadows, it is unusually romantic.

"I would like to spend my whole life reminding you of the promise you made with me under the moon"

- "What if you forgot or got lost?"

- "We'll see each other on the moon, fool! ”

——《To the moon》

Pokeni Co., Ltd.

Producer: Mika Ishino.

Agreed with you:

November 24th.

See you or leave you.

……

After the PV of pokeni's "To the Moon" was broadcast, the positive comments about the game on the Internet gradually increased.

"PV is better than the game entities you see at the game show."

"yes,I watched the forum before.,A lot of friends who came back from the Tokyo Game Show don't seem to have a very high evaluation.,I thought this year's Pokeni was a garbage galgame"

"Could it be because the previous expectations were too low, so this time I was so touched to see PV. It's really a lot better than I expected. ”

"Great, I thought I wouldn't be able to play Pokeni's galgame this year."

"P Society will have at least one galgame every year.,Last year's CL and LL were both in the second half of the year.,It's not surprising to see going to the moon now.。

"Although there is no squeamish part of the galgame of the P club, there is a strong attraction inexplicably.

What's more, this game is still made by Mika Ishino. ”

"The painting style of "The Man in the Quilt" is really the white moonlight in my mind.

I can still see it in "To the Moon", which really touches me. ”

"Great, 'To the Moon', my favorite 'Quilt Man' dreamy style, paired with my favorite producer, Mika Ishino.

What kind of effect can be produced in the end? ”

"Seriously, I was skeptical about "To the Moon" at first, after all, the feedback from the Tokyo Game Show was not very good, and now after watching the PV, I have to consider whether I should start it."

……

After reading the comment, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help frowning fiercely.

Damn, how bad did you think this game was?
