Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 404 "Spirited Away" (4000 words)
Qianxia Yamagami really felt that Higashinoji had lost his mind somewhere, or that the other party was just making fun of herself seriously.

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to make this decision suddenly.

It's just that what happened next subverted her idea very simply and neatly.

Division Higashino actually called several giants of Higashino Studio, namely Yano Ryuichi and Seo Daigo. Including Hosokawa Koharu were called to get involved.

"Are you really going to make an original animated film?"

Looking at Higashinoji who was talking with Yano Ryuichi and the others, Yamagami Chinatsu swallowed her saliva.

Only now did she realize that she knew very little about the young man Higashinoji.

Others pay attention to steady and steady development when drilling wells. They have to enter three, and then drill wells to continue to seek stable development.

When it comes to Dongyesi, it is different.

He has to go three to 400 meters, and he can't wait to finish drilling all the wells in one day
That's it.

But
However, Qianxia Yamagami had an indescribable sense of trust in the young man Higashinoji.

She had an inexplicable feeling that the other party could really do it.

Let's not talk about Qianxia Yamagami's thoughts.

On the other side, Hosokawa Koharu and the others were also stunned for a long time after hearing Higashinoji's proposal to make an original animation film.

I was stunned for a long time.

Even what Dong Yesi said later, they didn't hear clearly.

That's really rude.

but.
"Teacher Dongye, isn't this step too big?"

Yano Ryuichi, as Higashino Division's right-hand man, is the person who has stayed with him the longest in Higashino Studio, and also the person who understands him best.

But even he asked with a frown when he heard what Higashinoji said about the original animated film.

This step is indeed too big.

Although Higashino Studio has produced two animation works that won the Season Crown, there are only two works.

It is completely different from big companies like Tokyo Animation. They only have enough experience to make theatrical movies.

What experience do they have?
I only have the experience of making two animations.

There is a big gap between animated movies and animation!

Can Dongye Studio have that kind of strength?

For example, a person who has just learned to walk wants to challenge running.

This stride is really too big, and you may even strain yourself.

But these are not the most important.
The key is--

"Mr. Higashino, let's not talk about whether Higashino Studio has the strength to produce original animation films. The most important thing is the script story of the animation film."

Hosokawa Koharu has also cooperated with many investors, and of course understands what is the most important thing in original animation film production.

Roughly speaking, there are three points.

The first point is the production cost, which is natural, and nothing can be done without money.

Of course, the first point need not be mentioned. There is absolutely no problem with the money that Higashino has earned over the years and invested in making an animated film.

Then the second point is talent and production strength.

Nowadays, Higashino Studio is still immature, but its strength has been recognized by many people, and there is probably no problem if it really wants to make animated films.

Then the third point is the production cycle and time.

Needless to say.

Now that the schedule of "Unnatural Death" has ended, Higashino Studio is in a free period and has enough time to produce animated films.

Now that the above points have been overcome.

Then the next most critical thing is the plot story of the original animation.

And this point is also the most important among all the points.

Whether it is looking for a voice actor or making a character design for the protagonist. The script is a must.

"I remember Higashino-sensei was a script designer, right? Could it be possible that he has also studied script writing?" Seo Daigo asked curiously.

He had seen the animated film version of "Midnight Ring" jointly produced by Higashino Division and Tokyo Animation, so he naturally knew that the other party had experience as a script designer.

But
The situation is completely different.

At that time, Higashino Division's "Midnight Ring" animation film was supported by the story of the original manga.

Seo Daigo has never seen Higashino Division's ability to create original animation film scripts.

But considering that the other party is now a member of the masters of Japanese manga, he is also a little curious.

But Higashino's next sentence shattered his illusion.

Higashino Division smiled and shook his head and said, "I have no experience in writing original animation film scripts."

cough cough cough
Seeing Higashino Tsukasa still smiling, Seo Daigo and the others don't even know why each other can still laugh.

Want to challenge the original animation film without experience?

Isn't this bullshit?
Castles in the air are not built like this.

Even if you're a genius, you can't be so capricious——

But Higashino seems to be willful today.

He noticed what Yano Ryuichi and the others were thinking, but he continued without paying attention: "But I already have an idea about the original animation movie."

"An idea?"

Seo Daigo couldn't help curling his lips when he heard this.

As the editor-in-chief, he has heard many comic authors say this.

This is equivalent to drawing a big cake, and it is not convincing at all.

After all, "ideas" is something that everyone can have. Without a formal book project, "ideas" is nothing at all.

Higashinoji obviously knew this too, he didn't continue to talk about this topic, but said with a smile:

"Tomorrow I'll bring out the first half of the story, and we'll discuss it then."

Yes, just busy all night, take out the things you have brought out, and come back to discuss with them when the time comes.

"Ok, I see."

As for Higashino Division's extremely unreliable words, Seo Daigo and the others nodded without thinking.

After all, Higashino Division is the biggest in Higashino Studio.

At most, they are partners who work under Higashino Division. It is okay to offer opinions, but it would be too arrogant to interfere with Higashino Division's decision-making.

"Yano-san, do you think the original animation movie Mr. Higashino said is reliable?"

Seo Daigo couldn't help asking Yano Ryuichi beside him.

Anyway, he didn't think it was very reliable.

Dong Yesi wanted to write a story that would convince him all night?And is it the story of an original animated film?
This is too much of a joke.

He Seo Daigo is the editor-in-chief of Iwazuki Publishing House.

The eyes are only high and not low.

He has also seen countless excellent stories.

Just one night. I want to come up with a story that makes him feel well-written and well-written-this is too difficult.

Yano Ryuichi also shook his head when he heard Daigo Seo's question.

He agrees with Seo Daigo.

Excellent works can only be released after the author has worked hard for a long time, forgot to sleep and eat, and finally refined again.

just something to prepare for the night
Say nothing else.

At that time, the setting or the structure of the story may not be clear, right?
so.compared with him
Ryuichi Yano was actually more curious about what Koharu Hosokawa thought: "Editor-in-chief Hosokawa has been working with Mr. Higashino for three years, what do you think?"

That's right.

If you really want to say that you have been with Higashino Division the longest and have the oldest qualifications.

There is no doubt that it is Hosokawa Koharu.

As the editor in charge of Dongye Division, she must be the person who knows the situation of Dongye Division best among them.

"Huh? Me?"

Hosokawa Koharu, who was suddenly asked a question, raised his head and replied subconsciously: "Oh, I think Mr. Higashino should be fine."

"what?"

This answer made Yano Ryuichi and Seo Daigo stop, and looked at Hosokawa Koharu in disbelief.

Because of Hosokawa Koharu's answer
Is it too confident?

Yeah, that's being too confident.

It even feels a little blind.

Mr. Higashino is indeed Japan's leading manga master, and many high-quality manga have been born.

But... come up with a high-quality original animation script in one night?
Isn't this a joke?
Of course, Daigo Seo and the others definitely wouldn’t say that. They just smiled and said, “Editor-in-Chief Hosokawa’s words are really amazing. So what’s the basis?”

"Actually, this is not the first time Mr. Higashino has done this. "Unnatural Death" only took two weeks to draw the manga manuscript, and "Hansawa Naoki" only took one week to draw the manga manuscript. This is my basis .”

Hosokawa Koharu answered their questions calmly: "Ms. Higashino's ability to create stories surprises me every time."

Uh.
Hearing this, Seo Daigo and the others lost their voices a little.

Draw a national-level work like "Unnatural Death" in two weeks?

Draw "Naoki Hansawa" that appeared in the fire in a week?
Isn't it possible that Dong Yeji draws comics without thinking about drafts?
As we all know, after a cartoonist completes a serial comic, it usually takes several months, half a year, a year, etc. to conceive before he can come up with the next work.

Higashino Division's span is too big, isn't it?
Not for a month?Just take the week as the unit?And it's getting shorter?
this is really
Seo Daigo and Yano Ryu looked at each other, and their originally firm thoughts had been shaken a little.

If you really have the ability to conceive a story like this.
Maybe Higashino Division can really write the original animation script in one night?

All three were a little curious.

Higashino teacher
Will it work?

Higashino Tsukasa obviously doesn't know how to read minds, and naturally he doesn't understand what Seo Daigo and Yano Ryuichi are thinking.

He just meditated for a while, then turned on the computer.

Typed the title on the computer document.

"Thousands of Thousands of Spirits".

Looking at this long string of Japanese characters, some people may not know the name of this animated movie.

But if you mention its Chinese translation, it is estimated that many people will know it.

This is Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away.

Perhaps many people have discovered that this title is much simpler than the Japanese title above.

This is because the Chinese translation did not translate the word 'Shenyin' into it.

Dong Yesi believes that the Chinese version of the name removes "Shenyin", which probably has no special meaning, probably because the Chinese side does not understand the word "Shenyin".

And if the title is translated directly into "The Mysterious Disappearance of Spirited Away", it will feel worse, losing the original cultural meaning, adding more suspenseful meanings, and it is not easy to read.

But do as the Romans do, so Higashino thought about it, and just kept the original title-"Spirited Away".

When it comes to "Spirited Away", some people will probably think of its ensuing honors.

The 75th Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film, the 52nd Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award, the No. [-] in Japanese film history, and the best-selling animated film.
In Higashino's previous life, "Spirited Away" had a box office of 19 billion yen and occupied the number one box office in Japan for [-] years. It was not until the theater version of "Demon Slayer" was released that it was released Pull down on the first throne.

A full 19 years.

The whole of Japan is dominated by such an animated movie.

And from this point, it can be seen how high the level of "Spirited Away" was in Japan at the time.

Get rid of these digital things.

Let's take a look at the things hidden in the deep layers of "Spirited Away".

This animated film was originally known as a work that was "worth watching no matter the elderly or children" in Japan.

Children naturally watch "Spirited Away" as the fantasy god, simple and kind-hearted, strong and brave heroine Chihiro with short hair who goes through fire and water for her friends.

Older people, on the other hand, take a broader view.

What they pay more attention to is the hint in "Spirited Away" that Japan is lost because of the "bubble economy".

This can be seen from the original title of "Spirited Away".

'Shenyin', which means being hidden by ghosts and losing their way because of offending ghosts and gods-here is referring to those Japanese who have lost their way because of the bubble economy.

It's like Chihiro's parents saw the words of the food in the empty restaurant: "Just pay when someone comes over."

This "credit" concept of "pay first and pay later" is the root cause of Japan's bubble economy, which is completely lost.

In other words, "Spirited Away" is not just an animated movie that portrays the Chihiro family being hidden and lost.

More is actually based on the Chihiro family as a microcosm, reflecting that many people in Japan are still in the lost stage after the Japanese bubble economy.

And this is the finishing touch of "Spirited Away".

Many people said that after watching "Spirited Away", there is always a complicated feeling.

In fact, it's not just Chihiro's parents in the play.

I am actually in the state of 'lost' in the movie.

I was burdened with housing loans at a young age, worrying about the gift of one gold and two dollars every day, wandering between the two points of the company and the family. I can’t see the future when I look up, and I can’t see the toes when I look down.
Everyone is lost.

The same is true for the faceless man in the animation. He has forgotten his original appearance, confused, cold, lonely, and easily assimilated by influence
Many young people today are also faceless men?
And it's this strong resonance, and that inexplicable sense of disorientation.
It makes people love the kind, strong, and fearless Chihiro in "Spirited Away".

This is undoubtedly ironic and contradictory.

He is obviously a person like the faceless man.

But he aspires to be the brave and fearless Chihiro.

This is also the point that Higashino must grasp the most in the production of the animated film "Spirited Away"!
