Chapter 3799: God-Level Remarks
The first cartoonist from Japan is the god-level Akira Toriyama, so who will be the next one? How many will there be? All the fans sitting in front of the computer are looking forward to it.
"Everyone, now please allow me to introduce the fourth famous cartoonist from Japan - Mr. Takehiko Inoue!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
Takehiko Inoue! Hearing this name, everyone was moved again, especially some of the fanatics, who jumped, cheered, and went crazy.
Who is Takehiko Inoue? His most outstanding representative work is only one - "Slam Dunk". However, although it is only one most outstanding representative work, it is enough to establish Takehiko Inoue's status in Japan.
"Slam Dunk", an inspirational comic and animation work with high school basketball as the theme, was broadcast on Japanese TV from 1993 to 1996. Together with "Dragon Ball" at the time, it was a masterpiece that contributed to the popularity of "Weekly Jump" and was unique in Japan. Of course, "Dragon Ball" was already in its final stages at the time, while "Slam Dunk" was in its rising stage. However, coincidentally, the two works were completed almost at the same time, which directly led to the final gloom of "Shonen Jump".
"Slam Dunk" is a hot-blooded manga with basketball as the theme. In Japan, its status is known as the three major sports manga together with "Captain Tsubasa" by another god-level writer Takahashi Yoichi and "h" by Adachi Mitsuru. Of course, "Prince of Tennis" came later, but its influence and status are far from comparable to these three sports manga. However, there are also differences between these three anime.
"Captain Tsubasa" describes the growth of the pure football boy Ozora Tsubasa, who grew up from elementary school to a young man, and finally led Japan to win the World Cup. To this day, "Captain Tsubasa" is still being serialized. Of course. Now it describes the struggle history of Ozora Tsubasa in the La Liga. This anime has directly affected the development of Japanese football. It can be said that without "Captain Tsubasa", Japanese football would not have the current momentum and status.
As for "h", it is a baseball manga. However, compared to the description of football in "Captain Tsubasa", the status of baseball in "h" has faded a little. In "h", the real theme is first love. It is the astringent and pure love between the twin brothers Uesugi Tatsuya and Uesugi Kazuya and Asakura Minami. This is very touching and enviable. I envy why I can't have such a pure love.
"Slam Dunk". It is different. Compared with the above two works, each with a different focus, "Slam Dunk" is about basketball, but it is more about the dreams, beliefs and passion of high school students. Especially the characters with different personalities but touching characters created in it make its fans fascinated and crazy.
There is the cool Rukawa Kaede, who almost fascinates all female fans. There is Sakuragi Hanamichi, who has a funny face but is simple and touching, and there is Mitsui Shou, a bad guy who finally turns over a new leaf. There is Takenori Akagi, the mainstay of the basketball team who struggled to support his dream, and Ryouta Miyagi, who played for love and fell in love with basketball (the same as Hanamichi Sakuragi). This is a basketball manga that combines humor, passion, love, and brotherhood. It is the well-deserved No. 1 in basketball manga, which has touched countless people and made countless people fall in love with "Slam Dunk".
"Hello everyone, I am Takehiko Inoue. I am honored to come to this "Anime Village". To be honest, I haven't really touched comics for many years. Over the years, I have been in a semi-retired state. But unexpectedly, I still received an invitation from Mr. Lin, and he sincerely invited me to remake the high-definition version of "Slam Dunk". I am very moved! I am also willing to be here,
for all the fans who love the "Slam Dunk" manga, to remake the high-definition version of "Slam Dunk" once again." Takehiko Inoue said with a smile.
Regarding Takehiko Inoue, he is also an old acquaintance of Lin Feng. Lin Feng once found Inoue Takehiko and produced the "Slam Dunk" National Competition episode that has always been regretted by all fans. Therefore, there was no big wave when Inoue Takehiko came this time. After receiving Lin Feng's invitation, Inoue Takehiko came. Compared with the twists and turns of Akira Toriyama, it was much smoother.
"Now let me introduce the fifth well-known cartoonist from Japan, Mr. Hayao Miyazaki, who is known as a master of the generation!" Lin Feng introduced.
Hayao Miyazaki! Seeing this person appear here, domestic anime fans are not as crazy as before, but for Japan, it is really moving. Especially for the Japanese media, it almost collapsed. Hayao Miyazaki's status in the Japanese comics industry is like Kurosawa Akira in the Japanese film industry. He didn't write many comics, but mainly animations, and he was called Kurosawa Akira in the Japanese animation industry. The animations he led won the Japanese box office champion several times.
"Princess Mononoke" was the first time that Hayao Miyazaki won the box office champion of the entire Japanese film industry. This is the box office champion of the entire Japanese film industry, not just the champion of Japanese animated films. It can be said that this is the most faithful reflection of Miyazaki Hayao's personal charm and the charm of his works.
But then, the record of "Princess Mononoke" was broken by the Hollywood epic blockbuster "Titanic". Afterwards, Hayao Miyazaki was killed by overwork by director Yoshifumi Kondo, who was being groomed as his successor. Then director Isao Takahata's "rstheyamadas" (Chinese translation: "My Neighbor Yamada-kun") failed at the box office, and the film lost billions of yen. This caused director Isao Takahata to retire sadly. Faced with this crisis, Hayao Miyazaki had no choice but to come out again. In order to save the crisis and restore his reputation, Hayao Miyazaki came out again.
And this time, Hayao Miyazaki's new work is to shock the world and pick up the masterpiece that is truly recognized by Hollywood-"Spirited Away".
"Spirited Away" narrates a short fragment of Chihiro's life, telling how she gradually released her potential and overcame difficulties when she faced difficulties. This is exactly what Miyazaki wants the audience to understand. However, at first, the outside world was not optimistic about this "Spirited Away", and even director Isao Takahata, who has retired, advised him to be cautious and avoid making the same mistakes as himself. But Hayao Miyazaki believes that this is a film different from his other stories in the past. In the past, the protagonists he wrote were all his favorites. But this time Hayao Miyazaki deliberately made Chihiro an ordinary character, an inconspicuous typical ten-year-old Japanese girl. The purpose is to let every ten-year-old girl see herself in Chihiro. She is not a beautiful girl, nor is she particularly attractive, and her timid character and listless demeanor are even more annoying. When he first created this character, Hayao Miyazaki was a little worried about her, but by the time the story was almost finished. However, he firmly believes that Qianxun will become a likable character.
Subsequently, at Miyazaki's insistence, "Spirited Away" was released. For the dignity of the Japanese animation industry and to defend Japan's box office record, when "Spirited Away" was released. Even the then Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi stepped forward to help him promote it. With its strong publicity power, Hayao Miyazaki's personal charm, and the appeal brought by his comeback, "Spirited Away" once again won the first place in the total box office, making history with a box office of more than 30 billion yen. At this time, the annual economic total of Japanese animation was only 500 billion yen. In general, the top-grossing film in an annual box office is often less than 3 billion. A powerful publicity campaign even mobilized the Prime Minister to support the premiere. Hayao Miyazaki's success began to receive international recognition, and his works won international film awards such as Oscar, Venice, and Berlin.
After "Spirited Away", Hayao Miyazaki retired again. Start training new people. As a result, after the newcomer took over, the box office performance of "The Cat's Repayment" was once again unsatisfactory, forcing Hayao Miyazaki to come out again. "Howl's Moving Castle" was released in 2004. Although it did not break the box office of "Spirited Away", it was roughly the same as "Princess Mononoke". This is still a miracle. A miracle at the Japanese box office. An animated film can achieve the same level of box office as a movie. It's nothing short of miraculous.
Subsequently, Miyazaki was in a state of semi-retirement in these years. But the various miracles he created have always been active in the hearts of Japanese animation fans, and he is also a figure who has always been talked about by the Japanese media. As a result, such a big shot suddenly came to China, to the "Animation Village", and became a guest of Lin Feng, the most hated person among Japanese people. How could this not make the Japanese media angry and furious?
Why! Why do they all go to the 'Animation Village'? Why? The Japanese media roared for nine days, blaming the sky and the earth. They didn't understand what was going on and why this happened repeatedly. Akira Toriyama was like this, Inoue Takehiko was like this, and now Miyazaki Hayao is like this too. This is also the case with Aoyama Gouchang and Anzi Suxiong. Why? What exactly is this for?
"Hello everyone, I am Hayao Miyazaki. Maybe for Chinese animation fans, I may be relatively unfamiliar." Hayao Miyazaki walked up and said with a smile. Indeed, for most Chinese fans, Hayao Miyazaki's name is well known, but not many of his works have been seen. None of his works have been screened in China, and those who have seen them have mostly watched them online. This is completely incomparable with everyone's understanding of Akira Toriyama and Takehiko Inoue through comic books. Therefore, it is normal for Chinese people to be relatively unfamiliar with Hayao Miyazaki.
"But I believe that we will get to know each other in the future. I have always wanted to show my movies in China. I hope that Chinese animation fans can also see the power to move them from my movies. And here I am. , I am preparing to create the last work in my life, "The Wind Rises." I hope to create it here and dedicate it to everyone. At the same time, I hope that Chinese fans can see this movie as soon as possible! Saki introduced.
What! Hayao Miyazaki created his last animated film in China. Doesn’t this mean that he is about to retire? Retreat? How can Hayao Miyazaki retire? If he is going to retire, who will be the leader in the Japanese animation industry? Of course, even if he retires, why do he have to retire after creating his last work in China? What does he mean by this? He is Japanese, not Chinese! Especially in terms of Hayao Miyazaki's background, his family is a Japanese military manufacturing enterprise. It can be said that his family also manufactured various weapons that caused disasters in China. He should be considered an enemy of China. How could he retreat in China?
At this moment, the whole of Japan was boiling. They didn't understand in a thousand ways. They couldn't understand Miyazaki's mentality. Why did he choose to retire in China? To be honest, the Nanjing Massacre was also caused by his family! Why did he choose to go to China? Why? I don't understand, I don't understand at all!
Miyazaki smiled slightly.
"I think there must be many people in Japan who don't understand why I choose to retire in China. Why?" Miyazaki's face gradually became serious. "I have always felt that we Japanese people should face history positively, not distort it. What happened in the past cannot be changed. No matter how high-sounding the reasons for aggression are, it is aggression. Then, we Japanese people owe China and South Korea an apology. In any case, we owe them an apology. But now, the Japanese government deliberately erases or distorts this history. In my opinion, this is to let the Japanese people take this wrong path again in the future. The world needs peace, and we Japanese people need peace even more. War always brings only pain. In addition to benefiting those in power and a very small number of people, the vast majority of people have to endure only suffering and grief, as well as the separation of their families!" Miyazaki's voice was low and angry.
"The Wind Rises" is a work that describes the beautiful love in the war years. I hope everyone can see the good things of humanity from this work, and come together to resist those bad things. War, I hope it will never come again!" Miyazaki said with hope.
At this moment, Miyazaki received support from all Chinese fans, including those Western netizens who were not familiar with Miyazaki. Miyazaki's remarks showed them a public figure's understanding of public knowledge and his yearning for peace. Of course, correspondingly, in Japan, all right-wing elements are denouncing Miyazaki's treason and threatening to ban Miyazaki throughout Japan. This is a complete traitorous statement!
There is nothing wrong with the war! Japan was absolutely not wrong in World War II! It was for the future of the Japanese people. Miyazaki's remarks were extremely wrong, extremely absurd, and extremely ridiculous! This is simply a kind of disloyalty to the emperor and a betrayal of the emperor! There was a sound of condemnation from all over Japan.
"Thank you!" Akira Toriyama and Takehiko Inoue expressed their gratitude loyally. (To be continued.)
