Poverty story after Tokyo actress

"Two weeks?"

Hiss... This time sounds familiar. Speaking of it, it seems that Caihua took her to the comic exhibition two weeks later... It's a coincidence.

"Okay, but why do you suddenly want to take me to the concert? Could it be your idol opposite?"

"Idol? Uh... also~forget~" Makoto smiled, and that sly expression made Jiang Bai think about it for a while, what kind of ghost idea does this girl have?

"Speaking of which, Makoto, you like listening to music so much, who is your favorite singer?" Jiang Bai asked suddenly thinking about it.

"Why, Jiang Bai, do you want to guess whose concert I went to see?"

"Just asking, by the way, I want to know who influenced Zhenqin to become a bad girl who wants to get pierced ears~" Jiang Bai smiled slightly, and touched the pierced ears next to Zhenqin's ears.

"Well~" Zhenqin didn't refuse Jiang Bai's touch, and even took the initiative to rub it, like a kitten, and then she replied: "Well, piercing my ears is my own idea. There aren't many heavy metal rockers, because they're so wild. I just like heavy metal."

"And if you really want to talk about your favorite singer... By the way, Jiang Bai, do you know Hirasawa Jin?" Makoto asked Jiang Bai.

"Pirasawa Jin?"

I know, I know too well, Master, as long as you have a deep understanding of the Japanese music scene, this big guy can't help but know.As the leader of Japan's avant-garde electronics, this big guy has a great influence on Japanese contemporary culture.

Everyone who plays games knows Hidetaka Miyazaki, right?The creator of soul games, the most classic Black Soul series, was created by Hidetaka Miura under the influence of Kentaro Miura's "Legend of Sword Wind". Players even ridiculed that Black Soul was Hidetaka Miura's reminder to Miura do.

And how was such a legendary "Legend of Sword Wind" created?According to Miura's own words, he is a fan of Hirasawa Susumu, and "Legend of Sword Wind" was created by him while listening to Hirasawa Susumu's music.

Later, "Legend of Sword Wind" TV Miura directly suggested that the production team Hirasawa come in to create the soundtrack, which is enough to show Miura's admiration for Hirasawa Susumu.

In addition to Miura, there is another big brother Jiang Bai respects very much who is influenced by Hirasawa Susumu, that is the leader of Japanese magic realism animation, the textbook of animation editing, Toshi Kon.

Compared with Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Oshii, and Katsuhiro Otomo, who have rich works and always maintain enthusiasm for creation, Kontoshi has very few works. He has made four animated films and one animated TV in his life.

However, the four classic films with completely different styles have profoundly influenced many later filmmakers, such as "Mima's House", "Tokyo Godfather", "Millennium Actress", and "Red Pepper".

Although there are only these four animated films, no one can deny the status of these four films in the history of animated films. Even in the entire film history, these four films of Toshi Kon are insurmountable peaks of the same type.

And this film tycoon, he is also a fan of Susumu Hirasawa... and he also has the same virtue as Kentaro Miura. When the millennium actress and Chili Pepper created, he asked Susumu Hirasawa to make the soundtrack.

One of these two bigwigs is from the manga industry and the other is from the film industry. Are there any bigwigs in the music industry who have been influenced by Susumu Hirasawa?Yes, Kenshi Yonezu.His stage demeanor of letting go of himself was influenced by Susumu Hirasawa.

And let me tell you an interesting fact, even in the cute two-dimensional, Hirasawa Susumu has a great influence, the cute character in the previous cute cute animation masterpiece "Light Voice Girl", is called the dull Hirasawa Yui by the audience ...

Did you find that the two last names are the same?It’s not a coincidence, the prototype of this dawei is really Susumu Hirasawa, so... Susumu Hirasawa has another daughter in the mouth of the fan community~

In this way, it can basically be found that Hirasawa Jin has a profound influence on the cultural circles of Dongying, and Makoto will think of the master as an idol in this way, which does not surprise Jiang Bai.After all, Jiang Bai himself really likes it.

Of course, this is Aiwujiwu. Jiang Bai himself likes Hirasawa Jin mainly because she likes Kon Min.

But it's a pity... Jin Min is a typical jealous talent. When his career was in full swing, he was suddenly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In the end, he could only bid farewell to the audience with his unfinished posthumous work "Dream Machine".

Jiang Bai likes the deep humanistic care in Jin Min's works very much, which Jiang Bai also admires.

Toshi Kon's animated films are very different from other great directors, such as Katsuhiro Otomo and Hayao Miyazaki. Although they also show humanistic care in their works, their content has always been far away from the masses.

Kon Min focused on the urban crowd, and Mima Yabe focused on the current idol industry.The Godfather of Tokyo looks at the homeless in the big city.

The Millennium Actress not only expresses the actor's pursuit and obsession with the acting career, but also expresses the changes of Japan from wartime to modern times.And Red Pepper, with the most magical images, expresses the psychological alienation of the contemporary urban population in the increasingly collapsing modern society.

And this style of focusing on society is similar to but different from Oshii Mamoru. Oshii Mamoru uses cold brushstrokes to show those cold realities, while Kon Min uses a self-deprecating technique to mock those wrong things.

Oshii Mamoru and Kontoshi Ebaku both like it, but if she really had to say which one she likes the most...she would still choose Kontoshi.

Not for anything else, just for the meticulous depiction of Chiyoko's persistent pursuit of art in "Millennium Actress", the kind of romance of falling in love with the struggling self on the road of chasing dreams, that is Jiang Bai's favorite movie, It is the most romantic gift Kon gave to the profession of actor.

Therefore, Jiang Bai has a great preference for Jin Min.Kon Min is also capable of accepting this partiality.

It's a pity... Alas... God is jealous of talents...

"Ugh……"

Thinking of Jin Min's untimely death, Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh.

This surprised Makoto a little, no, didn't I just say that I like Hirasawa Jin?Why did you suddenly sigh?Could it be that Jiang Bai hates Hirasawa Jin?

"That...Jiang Bai, why are you sighing? Don't you like Hirasawa Jin?"

"Ah? No, I just think of Jin Min... It's a pity that he died young..."

"Jin Min? That... is that today's Jin, the sensitive Min?"

"Yes, Kon Min."

"Isn't he still alive and well?"

"...What? Didn't he die of pancreatic cancer?"

"Well, yes, he was indeed diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but after several years of recuperation, he is much better now, and he came back to work last year, and he is still working now."

Hearing Makoto's words, Jiang Bai's mind became confused, and so on... I almost forgot, this is a parallel world, Jin Min in the previous life was too busy to cultivate because of the busy work of the director, but there seems to be no such thing as Jin Min in this world. Works, that is to say... Toshi Kon, he didn't become an animation director!

"Well, Makoto, what is Jin Min doing now?" Jiang Bai immediately asked excitedly.

"Um, he's an editor now..."

"Editor...that's right, he does have that ability..."

Hearing that Jin Min is still alive and not being a director, Jiang Bai's mind suddenly became active.An idea popped up in her mind.

"Makoto... Didn't you say that you are going to appear in the three major film festivals? Now... the conditions have come..."

Chapter 96 The key to the three major film festivals

What are the conditions for being on the stage of the three major film festivals? The answer is to have a good movie.

It sounds like nonsense, but the definition of a good film by the three major film festivals is indeed a very debatable issue. After all, different film industries have their own evaluation standards, and it is possible to make a film that echoes the standards of the three major film festivals , is the first condition to be on that stage.

And what are the standards of the three major film festivals?That has to start with the respective styles of the three major film festivals. The first is Italy’s Golden Lion of Venice. As the earliest film festival in the world, Venice is considered the most authoritative international film festival representing the wave of films, and they The judging criteria of the film focus on art and avant-garde films.

Therefore, most of the movies on the Venice Golden Lion are directed by veteran famous directors, and they are basically gangsters fighting. Therefore, if you want to get the Venice Golden Lion, you must have some international fame first. This is the worst movie to get into. Festival.Correspondingly, Venice's evaluation of movies is relatively pure, and people like the movie itself.

Then came Cannes. Cannes was a little more relaxed, and it even had an Oscar-like flavor, because they followed the marketing route.

Therefore, there are many more works that can be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival than Venice, and there are more awards.They focus on movies that are both commercial and artistic, because this kind of movie can be understood by the audience and can also make the audience feel nb.

Compared with the tea party of filmmakers like Venice, the distance between Cannes and the audience is closer.Moreover, Cannes pays more attention to newcomers in the industry than Venice. The Venice Film Festival is where big bosses fight, so Cannes is where big bosses bring newcomers to the world.

Therefore, the reputation of the Cannes Film Festival among the audience is generally higher than that of Venice and Berlin Silver Bear. Most people start with the three major film festivals from Cannes.

As for the last Berlin Silver Bear, this style is different from the previous two. Venice focuses on art, Cannes focuses on marketing, and Berlin Silver Bear focuses on the social nature of movies.

To put it simply, they like movies that can express the pain points of the current social environment, the pain points of the current political environment, and the current living conditions of the people.To put it nicely is to go deep into society, but to put it bluntly, it is a politicized film.

However, now that the literary and artistic environment is becoming more and more politically correct, and Venice and Cannes are paying more and more attention to political gimmicks, Berlin Silver Bear is quite honest, and they still continue to make that kind of social film.

In this way, Jiang Bai has a clearer idea of ​​how to get Zhenqin to enter the three major electronic syllable festivals. The first place to go is Berlin, because Berlin Silver Bear is the one that has the least requirement for the director's reputation, and it is also the nationality of the film. One of the least demanding.

Venice is where big guys fight. If you don’t have enough experience in the film industry, you are not qualified to enter. Cannes also needs famous directors to show themselves their gold content. As for newcomers, it’s better to play with your newcomers.

Berlin, on the other hand, does not refuse any work, and they will really give it to them, regardless of your country or origin.

Picking Berlin, then Cannes, and finally Venice, and everything is difficult at the beginning. It is really difficult for Dongying’s current film industry to go to Berlin, because few people are willing to deeply cultivate the pain points of Dongying’s current society.

If I really want to point it out, Takeshi Kitano is one, but this ruffian director has been out of action for many years. As for the director who succeeds Takeshi Kitano...he is not in Japan, but in China, that is Jia Zhangke.

Jia Zhangke's films are deeply influenced by Takeshi Kitano, and Takeshi Kitano also sponsored Jia Zhangke in the early years. He himself also likes this junior very much. These two can be regarded as teachers and friends.But in Dongying, Takeshi Kitano really has no successors, and even Takeshi Kitano himself has a very stiff relationship with the film industry in Dongying, and he did not stop talking about it after he left the film.

Apart from Takeshi Kitano, Hirokazu Kore-eda may be the only one who can help Dongying films to carry the flag. This director's film style is gentle and powerful, and the details are true. filmmakers.

He even sent Dongying the youngest Cannes actor, 14-year-old Yuya Yanagi.It's a pity that although Liu Leyumi became famous at a young age, the film industry in Dongying has no way to continue this glory for him.

After growing up, Yumi Yanagaku obviously didn't have the aura she had when she performed "Nobody Knows" when she was young, and she felt like she was slandering Zhong Yong. This can be regarded as the tragedy of the Japanese film industry.

In addition to these two, Jiang Bai really couldn't think of another filmmaker who wanted to be pulled out.So Jiang Bai's idea at the beginning was to let Zhenqin find Hirokazu Kore-eda to film, and let this big guy bring Zhenqin to the stage of the three major film festivals.

For so many years, he has also favored a Yumi Liu Le. As for whether Makoto can win the best heroine in his hands, Jiang Bai himself is hard to say.

Although Jiang Bai said that he would definitely help Zhenqin to the top three, how to get her to go up is really not an easy task.Especially in the general environment where Japan requires actresses to be more beautiful than acting.

After thinking about it, Jiang Bai finally even had the idea of ​​making a movie and sending Zhenqin up.However, after all, I am still an actor until now, so it is not so easy to cross the border.

However, the moment Zhenqin said that Jin Min was not dead, Jiang Bai suddenly felt that those troubles were cleared up in an instant, Jin Min is not dead?And you haven't entered the directing industry yet?That is simply a charcoal in need!

Why Jiang Bai is so happy, because although Toshi Kon is an animation director, his movies can easily be adapted into real people, except for the pictures of millennium actresses and red peppers, but his debut work "The House of Wei Ma" is a An animated movie that can really be adapted into a live-action movie!

Moreover, someone really did this in the previous life, and the finished product is the famous psychological horror movie "Black Swan".And this movie won Natalie Portman the Oscar for Best Actress that year.

Such a movie is really tailor-made for Zhenqin!And another point is that the film of Mima's Yabe focuses on the pain points and social contradictions of the bottom of society, perfectly echoing the judging criteria of the Berlin Silver Bear Film Festival, and successfully grasping their G-spot.

This is why Jiang Bai was so happy when he heard that Jin Min was not dead. This is really a bright future for Jiang Bai.

"Makoto, didn't you say you wanted to be in the three major film festivals? Now the conditions are here! This Kon Min is the key to help us open the doors of the three major film festivals!"

Jiang Bai happily said to Zhenqin, but these words made Zhenqin a little inexplicable, because she didn't know why Jiang Bai was so fond of this editor named Jin Min.

According to her understanding, Kon Min is a well-known editor, but the editing style is so magical that it often makes some directors who are seeking stability quite a headache, because the editor is too free to let himself go, and the finished product always makes the director subway old.

Just such an editor, why was Jiang Bai said that he was the key to the three major film festivals?

"That...Jiang Bai, do you like Kon Min's editing style?" Makoto guessed and asked.

"No, no, Makoto, he may not be well-known now, but when he becomes a director, you will understand. In short, we must meet this Jin Min in the future."

Speaking of this, Jiang Bai is even a little excited in his heart, because she really likes Jin Min, and meeting this master, for Jiang Bai, it feels like a fan meeting an idol.

"Well, since Jiang Bai you have said so...then I will believe you."

Zhenqin saw that Jiang Bai's face was sincere and did not seem to be lying. Thinking about it, Jiang Bai had never lied to her. She should have her reason for praising Jin Min so much, so she stopped entangled.

"Well, Jin Min put it aside, I have already said my favorite singer, then Jiang Bai, can you tell me about your favorite singer?" Zhenqin suddenly leaned over and asked Jiang Bai.

"My favorite singer?" Jiang Bai couldn't help being stunned, it's really hard to say, she has a lot of tastes, so she likes many musicians, and it's really hard to find who is the favorite.

"I like quite a lot. If I only put it in Dongying, I will find it... I will choose Yoko Kanno." Jiang Bai thought for a while and replied.

Yoko Kanno, who is more familiar with the old fans, may be familiar with it. He is a regular guest of animation soundtracks, and his most famous one is "Cowboy Bebop", which he collaborated with Shinichiro Watanabe.

This talented music girl is full of talent and has many works. She has been active since the 90s of the last century until now.

"Cowboy Bebop" by Shinichiro Watanabe, "Tokyo Reverberation", "Ghost in the Shell" by Mamoru Oshii, "Inverse A Gundam" by Yoshiyuki Tomino, "Umi Street Diary" by Hirokazu Kore-eda...

The reason why Jiang Bai likes it is because of her changeable music style, which can make Jiang Bai, a musical omnivore, full.

However, in this parallel world, due to the tepid animation industry, Yoko Kanno did not become famous in one fell swoop as she did in the past with Cowboy Bebop, but gold always shines, and it took a year or two to become famous with the manga soundtrack.

"Is Yoko Kanno? Well~ There are quite a lot of people who like this one. Since Jiang Bai said domestic, which one do you like most abroad?"

"Overseas? Hmm~ I like David Bowie quite a bit, and I like queen too, ah... Ingmar is also good, anyway, I have mixed tastes, and I really like a lot of them."

The names were called out from Jiang Bai's mouth one by one, and the corners of Zhenqin's mouth gradually turned up, because she was also very familiar with these. This feeling of being able to hear things that resonate in the population she likes is really quite happy.

Looking at the smile at the corner of Zhenqin's mouth, Jiang Bai suddenly asked: "Hey, Zhenqin, didn't you say that you can sing? Do you want to have one?"

"Huh? Okay~Which song does Jiang Bai want to hear me sing? It's not me~I can sing quite a few songs~" Saying that, Zhenqin showed a proud look on her face, as if nothing could stop her.

In this regard, Jiang Bai raised a sly arc at the corner of his mouth and said, "Well~ Bohemian Rhapsody?"

"..."

For a while, Zhenqin couldn't help but froze, and said awkwardly: "Jiang Bai...you are making things difficult for me, right..."

"Hmm~ Don't you know how to sing anything?"

"... Well, it's really difficult for you to choose... Do you want to see me suffer, Jiang Bai?" Looking at Jiang Bai's suppressed smile, Zhenqin raised her brows and snorted softly: "But it's very difficult. It's a pity~ I can really sing!"

I saw Makoto swiping on the phone, and the accompaniment of Bohemian Rhapsody played leisurely.

With the accompaniment, under Jiang Bai's surprised eyes, Zhenqin smiled slightly, cleared his throat lightly, and was about to start singing: "Ahem... Mama~ just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger now he's dead..."

This is the first time Jiang Bai has seen Zhenqin's singing ability. Both the English pronunciation and the power of enunciating words are impeccable. The only flaw may be that Zhenqin sings a female voice, which sounds a bit inconsistent.

The most important thing is that Zhenqin's sense of power and excitement when singing really made Jiang Bai feel that Zhenqin's singing at the moment really looks like a female version of Uncle Ya. Is it really worthy of learning vocal music?Professionals are different...

"...Mama～oooh～I don't wanna die! I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all!" After the first verse, Makoto stopped singing, and the rest was a bass solo.

"Oh! Great..." Seeing Zhenqin stop to rest, Jiang Bai immediately praised and prepared to applaud, but Zhenqin raised his hand lightly and his consciousness did not stop.And Jiang Bai, who is very familiar with Bohemian Rhapsody, understands that she is going to sing the next paragraph.

However... that is the most rare part of the whole Bohemia, Makoto really intends to sing in such a simple environment?

Before Jiang Bai could be surprised, as the bass solo ended, Makoto took a deep breath and began to sing: "I see a little silhouette of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the fandango? Thunderbolts and lightning! Very, very frightening me !Galileo↑galileo↓Galileo↑galileo↓Galileo, figaro～…”

Jiang Bai couldn't believe that this section of Zhenqin actually sang it all in one breath, especially the high note that Galileo repeated several times...

Just when Jiang Bai sighed, when Zhenqin was singing high, a loud cry suddenly exploded in the bedroom next door: "Old sister! What are you screaming there! Let no one sleep!"

With Caihua's loud cry, Zhenqin's passionate emotions stagnated for an instant, and the singing stopped immediately, imitating Uncle Ya's raised right hand, which stopped awkwardly in the air. At this moment, she and Jiang Bai could only look at each other with embarrassing expressions...
