Global monopoly of technology

This time, Bluestar Technology sent people to Japan to invite major directors in the animation industry to direct the promotion of Hatsune Miku's film. A total of ten directors were asked to talk about it. These ten directors are also the top ten famous animations in the world. director.

Their works have become world-renowned animation masters with their stunning pictures, vivid colors and wonderful themes. These directors have injected life into the animation world, making animation a mainstream culture in the world today.

Names like "Pikachu" are still full of nostalgia.

There is really a lack of directors in this area in China. There is no other way but to invite foreigners. On the other hand, the use of Japanese directors is also helpful to open up the local market.

Of course, there is no shortage of animation masters in Europe and America, but it is obvious that Japanese directors who belong to the same cultural circle are relatively more suitable.

Bluestar Technology sent people to discuss cooperation this time, and Hayao Miyazaki is among the top ten directors. The director's popularity does not need to be said too much.

Such as "Castle in the Sky", "Princess Mononoke" and other works, his 2001 movie "Spirited Away" was the first Japanese film to win the Oscar for best animated feature film.

In addition to Hayao Miyazaki, there are such as:

Ishiguro Noboru: Masterpieces such as Macross, Astro Boy, and Legend of the Galaxy Heroes;

Tomino Yoshiyuki: Masterpieces such as "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Astro Boy";

Oshii Mamoru: Masterpiece "Fortune Boy 2: Beautiful Dreamer" and other works;

Watanabe Shinichiro: Masterpieces such as "Interstellar Cowboy" and "Chaos Warrior";

Anno Hideaki: This Hayao Miyazaki student has works such as "Evangelion" and "Nadia of the Sea of ​​Unthinkable";

Otomo Katsuhiro: masterpieces such as "Akira" and "Maze Story";

Takahata Hoon: Masterpiece "The Tomb of Fireflies" and other works;

Osamu Tezuka: Masterpieces such as "A Mu Tong" and "The King of the Forest"

Jin Min: Masterpieces such as "The House of Unma" and "Red Pepper"

About these ten animation masters, Bluestar Technology has gone to find and talked about, everyone has listened to Bluestar Technology's requirements and budget investment, especially the investment of US$450 million.

One by one surprisingly agreed with the exclamation of "Nani", petrochemical on the spot.

This was their first reaction when they learned of this situation. After confirming that they were correct, they had only one thought:

crazy!!!

There is no doubt that granting great creative freedom and a horror budget of 450 million US dollars is fatal to these animation masters. The budget full of speechless means that it can provide a cornerstone to build a masterpiece, take a step back It is said that even rushing to the street can leave a strong stroke in the history of animation.

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

As an IT giant, Bluestar Technology is indeed a relatively layman in film entertainment, and is generally famous for its reputation. Therefore, I very much hope that Hayao Miyazaki will be able to take the lead of Hatsune Miku's promotional film.

But one thing is very important. Bluestar Technology has also done well, that is, knowing that you are a layman, don't interfere too much, just provide funds and logistics, and let the professionals to carefully polish it.

It turns out that it’s not good to buy the director’s hands and feet, cough...

What's interesting is that while these animation masters were heart-moving, more than half of them wanted to take over this collaboration, but the other half said they wanted to be the director of this work and declined, and they strongly recommend it. A stubborn colleague Anno Hideaki directed the work, including director Hayao Miyazaki, the industry’s biggest star, as one of its recommenders.

After understanding some of the basic requirements of Bluestar Technology, these recommenders admitted that their personal style may ruin the birth of a classic work, and the creation of "Evangelion Evangelion" by almost one person is very in line with Bluestar Technology. Animation director on request.

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

...

In mid-June, Anno Xiuming came to Bluestar Technology Company.

"To tell you the truth, Director Anno Hideaki, many people in my company tried to prevent me from choosing you to direct. When I insisted on doing this and made a final decision, they seemed to be falling."

At this moment, the man sitting across from Luo Sheng is Anno Hideaki who came from Japan to meet Luo Sheng.

"Mr. Luo, in fact, I can't believe it." Anno Hideaki said. He communicates in English, so there is no need to bring an interpreter.

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

In an interview, he once publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the audience, threatened to "educate" the audience, and then began to disgust the audience by playing with the characters, and satirize the audience who devoted themselves to the virtual characters through Shinji's psychology and behavior.

And Bluestar Technology’s "virtual idol" plan is precisely for people to devote themselves to virtual characters.

Because of this, the project department unanimously opposed Luo Sheng's choice of Anye Hideaki to direct the promotional film of the "virtual idol" project, because Anye has a history.

This time, he was given enough creative freedom. The project team is really afraid of Anno Hideaki's fooling around. Once this happens, it will not only be a problem of the US$450 million budget, but also pay more. Expensive time cost.

"I always like to make the impossible possible. I think that there is a close connection between people and the work, but there is also a clear special case. Of course, from the perspective of an audience, I really want to send you a blade." Luo Sheng Looking at Anye with a smile, he added: "To be honest, you guys are holding EVA to sell albums and selling crazy money around, regardless of the audience's reaction, revenge the audience, especially the EVA fans."

"Do you also watch my work?" Anno couldn't help feeling flattered when he heard this. He didn't expect such a big audience.

For Luo Sheng, the audience, Anno said that he did not dare to be disgusted, did not dare to offend, an unbelievable $450 million to shoot a pure CG animation film for advertising.

This kind of person cannot be offended, what if he is bought by him?

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

The big guy is the big guy.

"Of course, why not?" Luo Sheng spread his hands, and then added with a smile: "In fact, the outside world always regards me as a leader in the science and technology industry and business circles, but ignores what I have as an ordinary person, especially a young man. On the one hand, I also play video games, watch animations, and listen to music."

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

Obviously, Anye is deeply skeptical of Luo Sheng's remarks. How can there be time to play games and watch animations for such a large group company?

Unless there are 48 hours a day.

Just listen to the polite remarks, An Ye reminded himself in his heart.

Luo Sheng is employing people without doubt, and he immediately went straight to the topic: "Director Anno Hideaki, I have already given you the theme of Hatsune Miku's promotional film. I will not interfere with your creation, including scripts, the company and the project department. Will not interfere, and provide you with all the resources and logistical needs you need, and 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. Even the $450 million budget is not enough. You can add it. But if you mess up, I will let you in the animation The world can’t go on, even if I spend 1 billion dollars, which means you will bet on your entire career, even..."

Hearing Luo Sheng's undisguised threat, Anye Xiuming smiled on the surface, but in fact, his third leg was trembling. He had never seen such a cruel and guilty heart.

This Nima stall has a big deal.

Listening to Luo Sheng's tone, if it is really messed up, it would be a trivial matter to be paid for, maybe people will be gone.

Do you have to take such a big risk to engage in artistic creation?

Anye really doesn’t dare to doubt Luo Sheng’s words. From the 450 million budget to shoot a movie for advertising, it can be seen that this is clearly a master who does not treat money as money and offends such a world’s top rich man. , A small director, I am afraid that the whole world has no place to shelter.

"I will do my best." Anno Hideaki said weakly.

"Don't panic, don't be serious about joking with you, I respect the artist very much, just create with peace of mind." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Anye expressed more panic in his heart. He had known it would be like this, and would never take this order, but now it is obviously too late to regret.

Sure enough, there is no free benefit in this world for people to take for nothing.

In this way, the director of the ruffian was intimidated by Luo Sheng, who did not follow the routine, and he was submissive in minutes, and honestly engaged in creation.

In a sense, it’s easier to produce classic masterpieces. Judging from ancient examples, such as ancient architecture or porcelain, the reason why those skilled craftsmen can create ancient art treasures is not only their own exquisite skills, but also Do it with your head hanging, if you make the ruler unsatisfied, you will lose your head.

Luo Sheng is not a person who sticks to form, he can use unconventional methods when necessary. A talented scoundrel director like An Ye has to use unconventional methods.

After all, there is motivation only when there is pressure.

Compared with Luo Sheng's method of exerting pressure, the audience's ability to send blades and threatening letters is simply weak.
