Plagiarism - 160 Five Goodbye Firefly

"Ah, I thought I was going to shoot Nezha, Sun Wukong and other characters that Chinese people like. Also, I suggest to the boss, to put some of our excellent Chinese works on the animation screen, and introduce our splendid Chinese culture to Westerners. " Su Zeqi said a little disappointed.

Tan Jiabao nodded and said, "Sooner or later, we will film Chinese classics such as "Journey to the West" and "Feng Shen Bang". But this requires us to make long-term preparations, and it is a huge project to put them on the screen. At present, there are still huge differences between Chinese and Western cultures, especially Westerners know too little about China. Therefore, we have to slowly cultivate Infiltration, slowly make them accept us, and even cannot do without us. During this process, we not only have to quietly implant Chinese culture into our works, but also, we have to earn a lot of money from them. Only In this way, we can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood."

"I understand."

Tan Jiabao continued: "I'm going to tell the story now, and you record it carefully."

"Okay!" Yi Huisi said happily: "I like listening to the boss tell stories and scripts the most. Oh, by the way, do you want to call Sister Lala to listen to it?"

"Okay, go and call her here."

After a while, Deborah came in with a smile and said, "Okay, don't call me if you have any stories!"

"Hehe, this is a tragedy. I'm afraid you'll cry when you hear it." Tan Jiabao said with a smile.

"I won't!"

"Okay, now the two ladies should get their handkerchiefs ready as soon as possible, and I'm going to start talking. The title of this animated film is called "Goodbye, Firefly". The story takes place in the Great Southwest in the Chinese theater of World War II. The name is Xiaogang, a 13-year-old student, and the heroine is Yingying, a little girl over 3 years old. Xiaogang and Yingying are brothers and sisters..."

Yes, what Tan Jiabao was talking about was the famous Japanese film "Grave of the Fireflies".He adapted it a little, and it became a story that happened in Southwest China.And it's flawless, without any flaws.

Tan Jiabao knew that the production of Japanese feature-length animation films in the early postwar period was dominated by Toei Animation Company, which was established in April 1956.Toei Animation has recruited major animation talents such as Yabushita Taiji, Yamamoto Zenjiro, Mori Yasuji, etc. Toei Animation Company has created too many firsts in the history of Japanese animation: the first color feature-length animated film "White Snake", the first The first wide-screen work "Sarutobi Sasuke" and so on.Decades later, the animation industry has formed a powerful industrial force in Japan, and its momentum is approaching that of Hollywood.Japanese TV animation series have successfully entered the European market because they have earned enough domestic income to be exported at low prices.Western European TV stations headed by the Italian state-run TV station RAI have invested in Japan to produce new TV cartoons.During this period, geniuses and masters such as Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, Mamoru Oshii, and Katsuhiro Otomo emerged in Japan, making Japanese animation the second largest animation production base in the world besides Hollywood.

Now that Tan Jiabao has come to this world, and has now acquired Disney.He intends to do a big job in this industry.In Hong Kong, the animation department of Tang Dynasty Entertainment is also in the process of preparation.Relying on Disney's technology and Tan Jiabao's script, he believes that he will achieve remarkable achievements in this industry.

"September 1944, 9, I died."

Tan Jiabao uttered the shocking first line of the animated movie "Goodbye Firefly", and then slowly said: "A young man in rags is lying dying on the train station where people come and go. Towards the end of his 13-year-old short life. His expression was painful, his eyes were dull, and suddenly his eyes lit up. In a trance, the boy saw his dead sister waving to him, and he saw the summer full of fireflies. At that time, the elder brother and younger sister were happy, the small iron box full of candy, the fireflies flying all over the sky, the older brother holding the younger sister’s hand to run in the night, and the younger sister’s silver bell-like laughter.”

In a few short sentences, Tan Jiabao set the tone of this movie into an extremely heavy and bleak style.His voice was low and his expression was solemn.And the hearts of the three people listening to the story sank at the same time. They all knew that the fireflies flying all over the sky and the laughter of the brothers and sisters were the ruthless foreshadowing of the upcoming tragedy.The whole room was silent, they held their breath, eager for Tan Jiabao to continue talking.

Tan Jiabao has already accumulated a lot of storytelling experience since he was a child.Besides, the storyline of the Japanese "Goodbye Firefly" is already exciting, so Tan Jiabao whetted everyone's appetite effortlessly.They began to pay attention to the fate of the two little protagonists.

"However, in the war years, joy is always short-lived. The air raids by the Japanese invaders began, and my mother died suddenly during the bombing. In the face of the sudden blow, all my brother could do was to hide the news of his mother's death from his young sister. In the empty square, my elder brother was performing horizontal bars for his sister who was crying and looking for her mother. The two thin figures looked so thin in the sunset. Perhaps, at that moment, my elder brother tried to carry all the sorrows and decided to live in the chaos. The two brothers and sisters were too young, so they went to seek refuge with their relatives. However, the war alienated the family, and the poverty of material made people indifferent to each other. More and more white eyes and less and less in the bowl The rice implying that they had to leave. The elder brother finally decided to take his younger sister to move away and build a home of his own. However, when he was singing and leaving happily, how could he have expected that he would die because of the war? A tragic reversal of fate awaits them?"

Having said that, Tan Jiabao stopped.He saw several young men listening intently, Yi Huisi was actually taking notes, and Deborah was urging Tan Jiabao.

After taking a sip of tea, Tan Jiabao continued to talk: "The fireflies are flying again, but the brothers and sisters' misfortune keeps coming. Hunger and disease are the biggest problems that plague them. In order to make the younger sister no longer hungry, the older brother had to steal it. When the plane is bombing. Whenever he finds some food in the empty house, he will be extremely excited. Note that the film should have given more ink to this life: abandoned homes, desolate wilderness, tranquility Alternate with cruelty, indifference and tenderness coexist. In the dark abandoned cave, the elder brother caught fireflies into the mosquito net, and the fireflies flying all over the sky flickered in the sultry summer night. The elder brother hugged his sleeping sister tightly, fearing that a If you let go, you will lose again. However, what the young brother doesn't know is that war itself means loss."

"The life of a firefly is only one night, and everything passes away in the slightly drunk summer wind..."

"..."

"The boy finally died, under a large pillar at the station. The boy's soul left his body, and he was floating around. His indifferent expression melted the moment he saw the little girl. Gently clapped his hands I patted her on the shoulder, sister, my favorite sister, I came to see you. We are finally... reunited again. The boy held his sister's hand, and the two souls sat quietly in a corner of the carriage. The light in the distance outside the window imprinted on the faces of the siblings, fiery red, reminiscent of the warmth of a fire."

"Sister, are you tired? Then go to sleep. Don't worry, it's very quiet here. There is no war, no planes, no burning petrol bombs, no homes that have become ruins, no hunger and cold, and no one will drive us away... ……Only those beautiful fireflies, like stars, twinkling………Sleep, sister, sleep………Brother and you, we will never be separated again…”

Tan Jiabao's tone became lower and lower. Everyone was immersed in the story of two tragic children in this war era, and their hearts were already extremely heavy.

The house has been very quiet.Tan Jiabao suddenly sang:

low black sky

Bright stars follow

worms fly worms fly

who are you missing

low black sky

Bright stars follow

worms fly worms fly

who are you missing

The stars in the sky are crying

Withered roses on the ground

cold wind blow cold wind

as long as you are with me

"..."

"This song is called "Insects Fly", and it is the theme song I made for this movie. Huier, go and translate the lyrics into English."

"Finally, the end of the film is marked with a line of text: 'May our world be forever peaceful!'."

After the story was finished, Deborah and Yi Huisi's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and Liu Zhuoqi also shed a lot of tears.Yi Huisi closed the notebook, wiped away her tears, and said with a sob: "I will write this script tonight. Oh, this story is too heavy, too sad, and so touching. It's so pitiful... I think of my younger brother, and I love him too, just like the elder brother loves his younger sister in the play..."

Maybe it touched Deborah's mind, she stood up and ran out of the room, and then everyone heard her saying loudly: "I swear, I will never watch tragic movies or listen to tragic stories again."

Liu Zhuoqi has already drawn the portraits of the two protagonists.According to Tan Jiabao's suggestion, after making some minor changes, several vivid images of brothers and sisters in distress came out.

They were talking vigorously when Liao Yingxi rushed in in a panic. He said loudly, "Boss, it's not good. Mr. Perici was assassinated. He was shot in the face. His life and death are uncertain now!"

"Ah—" everyone in the room stood up.
