This time, Blue Star Technology sent someone to Japan to invite the director of the animation industry to take charge of Hatsune Miku's promotion of the film. In total, we talked to the top ten directors, and these top ten directors are also the top ten famous animation directors in the world.

Their works have become very famous animation masters in the world with amazing pictures, vivid tones and wonderful themes. These directors injected life into the animation world, making animation a mainstream culture in today's world.

The name like "Pikachu" is still full of nostalgia.

There is really a lack of major directors in this regard in China now. There is no way to do this, so I can only invite foreigners. On the other hand, hiring Japanese directors will also help to develop the market locally.

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

This time, Blue Star Technology sent someone to discuss cooperation, and Hayao Miyazaki was among the top ten directors. There is no need to say too much about the director's popularity.

For example, works such as "City of the Sky" and "Princess Ghost", his 2001 film "Spirited Away" was the first Japanese film to win the Oscar for Best Animation.

In addition to Hayao Miyazaki, there are also:

Shin Ishiguro: his representative works such as "The Fortress of Time and Space", "Iron Arm Astro Boy", "The Legend of the Galaxy Heroes" and other works;

Yuyuji Tono: his representative works such as "Mobile Suit Gundam", "Iron Arm Astro Boy";

Oshii: his representative works such as "Fukulele Boy 2: The Beautiful Dreamer";

Shinichiro Watanabe: his representative works such as "Star Cowboy", "Chaos Samurai";

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

Katsuyo Otomo: his representative works such as "Akira", "The Story of the Maze";

Isao Takahata: His representative works such as "The Grave of Fireflies";

Osamu Tezuka: representative works such as "Amuto" and "The Great Emperor of the Forest"

Ginto: Representative works such as "Mima's House", "Red Chili Pepper"

Bluestar Technology has visited and talked about these ten animation masters. Everyone has listened to the requirements and budget investment of Bluestar Technology, especially the investment of 450 million US dollars.

One by one, they were surprisingly consistent with the exclamation of "Nani", and they were petrified on the spot.

This is their first reaction to knowing this situation. After confirming it, they only had one thought in their mind:

Crazy!!!

There is no doubt that giving great creative freedom and a terrifying budget of $450 million is fatal to these animation masters. A speechless budget means that a masterpiece can be created with the foundation stone. Even if it fails, it can leave a strong mark in the history of animation.

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

As an IT giant, Blue Star Technology is indeed a layman in movie entertainment, and usually goes to fame, so I really hope to invite Hayao Miyazaki to come out of the mountain to take charge of Hatsune Miku's promotional films.

However, one thing is very important. Bluestar Technology has also done a good job, that is, knowing that it is an outsider, you don’t interfere too much, just provide funds and logistics, so that professionals can carefully polish it.

If it turns out, it will be hard to buy the director's hands and feet, cough cough...

Interestingly, while these animation masters were moved, more than half of them wanted to take on this collaboration, but the other half expressed their desire to become the director of this work and declined. They also strongly recommended a ruffian peer, Hideaki Anno, to direct the work, including director Hayao Miyazaki, the industry's largest star, and is also one of his recommended people.

After understanding some basic requirements of Blue Star Technology, these recommenders admitted that their personal style may ruin the birth of a classic work, and Hideaki Anno, who almost completed the creation of "Evangelion" alone, is an animation director who is very in line with Blue Star Technology's requirements.

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

...

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

"To be honest, Director Hideaki Anno, many people in my company are trying to stop me from choosing you to direct. When I insist on doing this and making a decision, they seem to be falling."

At this moment, a man sitting opposite Luo Sheng was Anno Hideaki who came from Japan to meet Luo Sheng.

"Mr. Luo, in fact, I can't believe it." Hideaki Anno said, using English communication, so he didn't need to bring a translator with him.

Hideaki Anno is called a gangster in the industry. It is said that his conflicts with the audience have intensified and he has also received a large number of intimidation letters, even bullets.

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

Bluestar Technology's "virtual idol" plan is aimed at people's efforts to devote their feelings to virtual characters.

Because of this, the project department unanimously opposed Luo Sheng's choice of Hideaki Anno to direct the promotional movie of the "Virtual Idol" project, because Anno has a criminal record.

This time he was given enough creative freedom. The project team was really afraid that Hideaki Anno would mess around. Once such a thing happened, it would not only be a problem of wasting a budget of 450 million US dollars, but also paid a more expensive time cost.

"I have always liked to turn the impossible into the possibility. I think people and works are both closely connected but also distinctive. Of course, from the perspective of an audience, I really want to send you a blade." Luo Sheng looked at Anno with a smile and added: "To be honest, you are crazy about selling albums and selling peripherals to make money, regardless of the audience's reaction, and take revenge on the audience, especially the eva fans."

"Do you also read my works?" Anno Hideaki couldn't help feeling flattered when he heard what he said, and he didn't expect there would be such a big-name audience.

Regarding Luo Sheng, Hideaki Anno said that he did not dare to argue or offend him. He could spend 450 million US dollars in an incredible amount of USD to shoot a pure CG animation movie for advertising.

Such a person cannot be offended. What if he gets it?

Hideaki Anno is actually very weak. Although Luo Sheng is young, the aura released by every move, every word and action has pushed Anno tightly to death.

The boss is the boss.

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

Hideaki Anno thought to himself: Are you an ordinary person? I believe you, a ghost, can ordinary people achieve such achievements? Will there be such leisure time?

Obviously, Anno was deeply suspicious of Luo Sheng's words. To be precise, there are two companies in charge of such a large group. How could he have time to play games and watch animations?

Unless there are 48 hours a day.

Just listen to the polite words, Anno reminds himself in his heart.

Luo Sheng is not doubting people, and then he immediately went straight to the point: "Director Anno Hideaki, I have given you the theme of Hatsune Miku's promotional film. I will not interfere with your creation, including scripts, nor will the company and project department interfere, and will provide you with all the resources and logistics needs you need. I will provide you with whatever you want."

"But I only have one requirement. Before the end of this year, I will give me a classic masterpiece of about 90 minutes, and even a budget of $450 million is not enough, and I can add it. But if you mess it up, I will make you unable to make it in the animation world, even if it is the price of $1 billion, which means you will be gambled on your entire career, or even..."

Hearing Luo Sheng's uncovered threat, Anno Hideaki laughed dryly on the surface, but in fact, his third leg was shaking. He had never seen such a cruel person and felt so guilty.

This is a big deal.

Judging from Luo Sheng's tone, if he really messed up, it would be a trivial matter to spend money on his hands and feet, and he might have lost all the people.

Do you have to take such a big risk when doing artistic creation?

Anno really dared not doubt Luo Sheng's words. It can be seen from the 450 million budget of a movie used for advertising. This is clearly a person who does not treat money as money and offends such a top rich man in the world and a small director. I am afraid that the whole world will have no place to stay.

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

"Don't panic, don't take it seriously when you joke with me. I respect artists very much, just create with peace of mind." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

After hearing this, Anno said he was even more panicked. If he had known this would happen, he would not have accepted the order no matter what he said, but now it is obviously too late to regret it.

Sure enough, there is no benefit of free in this world.

In this way, this gangster director did not play according to the routine and threatened Luo Sheng, and was obedient in every minute and went to create honestly.

In a sense, it is easier to produce classic masterpieces. Judging from ancient examples, ancient buildings, porcelain, etc., the reason why skilled craftsmen can create artistic treasures that are unprecedented and extraordinary is that in addition to their superb skills, they are also doing things with their heads. If the ruler is dissatisfied, they will lose their heads.

Luo Sheng is not a person who sticks to the form. He can use unconventional means when necessary. A talented ruffian director like Anno has to use unconventional means.

After all, only by stress can you have motivation.

Compared to Luo Sheng's way of putting pressure, the audience sending blades and threatening messages are simply weak.
