Tokyo life starting with painting

The feeling is different from Akiyoshi Osawa.

On one side, Konoe Ryoka and Takahashi Yumi looked in their eyes.

The plot of "Spirited Away" is actually very simple.

The plot unfolds as Chihiro Ogino's family mistakenly entered the world of gods. Her parents were turned into pigs because they stole food from the gods. Chihiro also stayed in this place because she forgot her name and signed a contract with Yubaba. continue working.

If she wants to save her parents, Qianxun can only stay here to work and live.

The plot is so simple that it can be summarized in just a hundred words.

But although the plot seems simple, the process from Chihiro Diye entering the world of gods by mistake, to her parents turning into pigs because they stole food from the gods, was indeed presented in a particularly interesting way by Tono Studio.

Even young girls like Takahashi Yumi and others found it very interesting and were curious about the technique that was like a divine spell.

Yes.

Fun.

This word seems simple to say, but it is very difficult to do it.

In particular, it is very difficult to make animations that children watch in a way that both young people and adults will find them interesting.

Takahashi Yumi watched with great interest.

Fujiwara Aoi, who didn't have much interest in the animated movie at first, quickly got into the mood and started watching it seriously.

Chihiro makes mistakes in the movie and then gradually learns and grows up

She can be like the beginning, feeling boring about the bouquets given to her by her classmates, looking very slow, rude, uninterested in many things in the outside world, ordinary. Then she will gradually grow up, save the river god, save Faceless man helps him find a place to live

Perhaps the scene that touched Aoi Fujiwara the most was the scene where Chihiro escaped from the hot spring house, watched the faceless man running from behind, and then took the water train.

"Qianxun, that guy is coming after me!"

Ling and Qianxun were friends. Although they were not friends at first, after a period of contact, she found that she had fallen in love with this little girl named Qianxun.

Therefore, when she saw the faceless man persisting in following him as if he wanted to hurt Qianxun, Ling also frowned with anxiety on her face.

"It's fine."

Chihiro shook her head, then turned back and shouted: "I'm here!"

Chihiro seemed to want the faceless man to follow her.

But this behavior confused Ling: "What do you call it for?"

Aren't you afraid it will hurt you?

Ling actually wanted to say this.

"That person only became bad when he entered the oil house. It would be better if he left there."

Chihiro's expression was serious.

The reason why Chihiro said this in the movie is simple, because in the hearts of children like her, the distinction between good and evil is so clear.

But looking at the audience below, Qianxun's innocent tone made them feel like a thorn in their backs, and they even sighed.

In their eyes, the oil house, which exudes blackness but is restless and luxurious, does not represent this society?

In their eyes, faceless men are actually young people and employees who are lost in society.

They are often humble, gentle, and brave before entering society, but after entering society, they spend a lot of money for the respect of others. Similarly, they also become greedy and gluttonous.

Is it really better for the faceless man to leave the oil house that exudes the atmosphere of the market and seems to blacken people's hearts?

This is a proposition.

It is a proposition that some adults who are a little older and have more complete thoughts can't help but think and sigh.

They savored Chihiro's words over and over again, and they didn't stop until in the movie, Chihiro was rowed by Ling and brought to the water train track.

Watching Qianxun get out of the wooden bathtub, Ling shouted loudly: "Qianxun! I said you were clumsy before, but now I take that back!"

In the distance, Qianxun didn't answer, just raised the hand holding the shoe and waved it gently.

She seemed to be saying goodbye, but also seemed to be explaining something.

This scene is beautiful.

The sky is blue, mixed with the white of the clouds, and there are faint blue water waves under your feet, spreading all the way, the water and the sky seem to be dyed into the same color.

Seeing Qianxun walking further and further, Ling also turned around and loudly warned the faceless man not to hurt Qianxun.

If she had just met Qianxun, Ling would never have cared about Qianxun's life or death.

But after getting along with him these days, she has gradually recognized Qianxun.

The faceless man didn't speak, and just walked forward with faltering steps.

As Qianxun said, after leaving the oil house, he gradually found his original appearance.

"Do you want to come with me?"

Chihiro, who had become strong and brave, reached out and asked the faceless man.

"Ahhh."

The faceless man nodded slightly and followed Qianxun on the train to the bottom of the swamp.

The water ripples sparkled.

The water train cuts through the waves and carries Qianxun to the bottom of the swamp.

This is the most beautiful scene among the many animated films Aoi Fujiwara has seen.

Especially the moment when the just-right pure music soundtrack sounds, it even makes people feel an indescribable sense of peace.

It was as if the train would run like this forever.

This is undoubtedly Fujiwara Aoi's favorite scene.

Whether from the perspective of painting or from the perspective of its metaphor, she inexplicably fell in love with this work.

In addition to this scene, there is another scene that Aoi Fujiwara likes the most.

That was the scene where after Chihiro arrived at the bottom of the swamp, she met Granny Yu's sister, Granny Qian, and after asking for forgiveness, she rode away on a white dragon. Chihiro thought of the white dragon she had seen before, and also thought of Bai Long. The name of the dragon means that he will meet the amber master early.

Bailong found his own name.

At the same time, shining silver-white scales were flying in the night sky, like shooting stars.

The next moment, Bailong revealed his human body and held hands with Qianxun in the air.

This scene also made Fujiwara Aoi very emotional, especially the detail of Chihiro's tears being blown into the air by the strong wind, which she captured.

But why is Qianxun crying again?

Fujiwara Aoi quickly remembered what Grandpa Boiler said to Ling before.

‘Don’t you understand yet? this is Love! is love! ’

Is it love?

To be honest, Higashino Tsukasa's work does not describe much about male love and female love.

But when I thought of this sentence, it gave Fujiwara Aoi a very reasonable feeling.

This should be love.

Whether it's the love of a lover or the love of a friend, it's all love.

At the end of "Spirited Away".

Chihiro was recognized by all the monsters and ghosts in the soup house.

Even the greedy Yubaba looked at her with admiration.

She passes the test and can return to the human world.

Bailong took Qianxun and ran to the river, asking her to run along the way she came and not to look back.

At this time, Qianxun seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly raised his head and asked Bailong what he would do. Bailong told Qianxun that he would no longer be Yubaba's disciple, and agreed to meet Qianxun again.

But before that, Fujiwara Aoi clearly remembered what Granny Yu said.

If one betrays the contract in the world of gods, the body will be torn apart.

In other words, if Bailong breaks the contract, he should be torn apart.

Fujiwara Aoi was just wanting to see how the next plot should unfold.

How will Bailong meet Qianxun in the real world?

But the next moment——

The entire film ends as Chihiro leaves the world of gods and gets into her father's car.

And this discovery also made Fujiwara Aoi open her mouth.

She can't accept it!

Is this the end?

Gone? !

what's up?

She felt an indescribable feeling of melancholy.

Perhaps Tonoji wanted to use this scene to express the idea of ​​looking forward, letting the past pass, and not being bound by the past anymore.

But this indescribable feeling of regret still made Fujiwara Aoi sigh.

She stayed there for a long time, unable to recover.

But at the next moment, the ending song of "Spirited Away" sounded.

The melodious voice that seemed to reach into the soul brought her out of her melancholy and regret.

This is the song that Higashinoji asked Mizukuchi's grandmother to sing.

Unlike the injured Kimura Yumi in his previous life, the opponent's breath was stable and his singing voice was clear, which made many people immersed in the song in the blink of an eye.

It sounds so nice

The entire "Spirited Away" from beginning to end.

All gave Aoi Fujiwara a new understanding of the animated film industry.

It wasn't until after the theme song "Forever" ended that Aoi Fujiwara officially gave her evaluation.

Excellent product.

Even far above the quality.

As long as you savor this movie with your heart, you will have endless aftertaste.

To be honest, Fujiwara Aoi even feels like watching it a second time.

Really beautiful

You only need to look at Yumi Takahashi who is still in a daze to know the charm of "Spirited Away".

But Takahashi Yumi was in a daze for only those few minutes.

When she finally recovered, she looked at Konoe Ryoka with a sad face: "It's terrible! Ryoka! It's really terrible!"

"Why?"

Konoe Ryoka is obviously also savoring the plot of "Spirited Away".

At this time, when I heard Yumi Takahashi's words, "It's too bad," I couldn't help but froze.

What's wrong?

Is it worse to watch a movie?

She didn't quite understand what Takahashi Yumi meant.

"Spirited Away is so good, isn't it not bad?"

Seeing that Konoe Ryoka didn't seem to understand what she meant, Takahashi Yumi reminded her again.

".ah?"

Fujiwara Aoi thought to herself, is this guy being stupid again?

"Spirited Away" is so good, shouldn't Higashino be happy?

How could it be worse?

What's so bad eh——

Soon, Fujiwara Aoi seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed instantly.

Wait a minute, it's really bad.

She remembered that Higashinoji said that as long as "Spirited Away" won the first place, he would marry Konoe Ryoka.

So strictly speaking, the word ‘terrible’ is really the right word.

Fujiwara Aoi explained the matter to Konoe Ryoka, which made everyone else stunned.

Among them, Chihaya Higashino's performance is probably the most exaggerated.

She originally thought that she would study hard, cultivate herself, and finally use her own efforts to repay her brother.

As a result, it now seems that before she can repay her brother's debt, his brother's family seems to be about to separate?

This progress is too fast.

I haven’t even developed yet!

Chihaya Higashino couldn't accept it.

But considering the performance of "Spirited Away" just now, she was speechless.

This animated movie is really good.

According to Higashino Chihaya's vision, "Spirited Away" does not have such a lofty goal as being number one in Japan, but it will definitely be a high-quality film.

The little girls were discussing quietly over there.

On the other side, Osawa Akiyoshi once again gained a new understanding of Higashinoji's abilities.

I originally thought that this was my first time making an animated film, and the final effect would only be average.

But who would have thought that Higashinoji could perform so well?

Both the painting and the soundtrack add a lot of charm to this work.

But as a president in the publishing industry.

Of course he can't just look at these superficial things.

What he values ​​more is actually Higashino Tsukasa's hint about Japan being lost due to the 'bubble economy' in "Spirited Away".

At first, Osawa Aikichi thought he was overthinking.

Higashinoji should not think so broadly.

After all, it is my first time to create an animated film. I want to think so carefully and design the core of the film so perfectly.

This is too difficult.

But when Osawa Akiyoshi saw the back - the faceless man who had forgotten his name, hinting at Japan's working generation, and the smoky and luxurious oil house hinting at today's society, he was able to be sure.

Higashinoji really thought about it a lot.

"Qianxun's family was hidden by the gods. Doesn't this just mean that their family has lost their way? Does it mean that they want to reflect the current environment?"

Osawa Akiyoshi breathed out a little, and he really felt that Higashinoji was the kind of person with talent and ideas.

If it were him, he would definitely be able to use Higashinoji's name to package a good animated commercial movie. After all, making money is his first priority.

But it is precisely this idea that makes it impossible for Osawa Akiyoshi and people from other publishing houses to package a work like "Spirited Away".

A hint to the current situation where everyone is lost.

I hope people can be as brave and tenacious as Qianxun to find their way home.

This is the highlight of the entire film "Spirited Away".

It sublimates the theme of "Spirited Away".

And Japan is precisely the country that values ​​‘theme’ and ‘ritual sense’ the most.

An old man who has been cooking for many years is called the ‘God of Cooking’, and someone who mixes wine can also be called the ‘God of Mixing Wine’. Anyway, in this country, there is absolutely no shortage of XXX gods.

Therefore, the sublimation of the theme of "Spirited Away" actually happens to cater to the mentality of many people.

From Osawa Akiyoshi's perspective, "Spirited Away" is really expected to become a classic.

This made him feel inexplicably melancholy and regretful.

"I should have injected capital before."

Osawa Akiyoshi sighed, feeling that he should have been tougher at that time.

As long as he can get part of the investment rights for "Spirited Away", he will feel that he has made a lot of money.

After all, this animated movie has performed so far.

It's just perfect.

Thanks to Zhonghua Yimin for the reward! Thank you so much!
