Chapter 7 - Will It Become A Cliché Or Will It Be Innovative? Hayao Miyazaki's Concerns

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.

The same character.

He is evaluated differently in the eyes of different people.

But.

Fang Yuan does not need to evaluate Hitler.

He only needs to tell the story.

Show the life of Hitler to the audience.

As for how to evaluate?

That is the audience's business.

It's that simple.

...

Fortunately.

He did not choose a script or a novel.

This third-person perspective narration.

It has done a good job of this task.

...

[In Alois's plan, he hoped that Hitler would follow his path and become a civil servant. ]

[But he was soon disappointed. ]

[Hitler was not interested in this. ]

[When he was young, Hitler's favorite things were history and painting. ]

[He liked the heroic stories in German history. ]

[This made him feel deeply proud of his nation. ]

[When Hitler learned about the historical origins of Germany and Austria in class, and when he heard the people's call for the establishment of a "great unified German Empire", he soon regarded Germany as his spiritual motherland. ]

[As he himself said: Germany was the place of his childhood dream and secret love. ]

...

Here it comes!

As expected!

This is a protagonist whose personal destiny is deeply tied to the destiny of the country!

And this bond between him and the country.

It was firmly tied at the beginning of his life!

...

When seeing this paragraph written by Fang Yuan.

Little Leo was more certain of his guess.

If this story goes as expected.

It will develop as he guessed!

...

Little Leo commented.

"Although we don't know what the story about Hitler will be like in the end."

"But from the background setting, from the portrayal of the protagonist's childhood experience by contestant No. 111, it is not difficult to guess one or two."

"First, Hitler regarded Germany as his spiritual homeland."

"This made him yearn for Germany."

"Second, Germany unified Austria in history."

"So in this story, it will also be unified."

"So it is not difficult to guess that the protagonist named Hitler will go to Germany."

"And he will complete his painting career in Germany, and through his own struggle, he will become a world-renowned painter!"

"And in this process, he encountered the wave of the times of the unification of Germany and Austria."

"And in this wave of unity, what happened in the process of national unification will have a crucial impact on Hitler's life!"

"And ultimately shaped his achievements!"

...

Leo is not just an actor in this world.

He is also a very good screenwriter.

And in Hollywood, the United States.

There are many such stories that combine personal and historical backgrounds.

Related creations have almost formed a set of perfect templates.

Therefore, this speculation about the subsequent story is very consistent with the mainstream creation direction of current film and television scripts.

It is very reasonable.

...

Jiang Wen nodded.

Obviously, he also agreed with Xiao Lizi's speculation.

"The personal destiny is combined with the national destiny, and the intention is lofty."

"Now the framework of the story has been laid."

"And the setting of this story framework is also very consistent with the current development status of popular film and television works."

"The breakthrough and entry angle of contestant No. 111 are very promising."

"If he has the ability to control this story and does not deviate, it should not be difficult to advance."

...

Jiang Wen is not stingy with his praise.

This is not because of Fang Yuan's identity as a Dragon Countryman.

But the growth of this story itself deserves this praise.

As far as the frameworks shown now are concerned.

If the subsequent story is handed over to an experienced screenwriter.

It is not difficult to become another classic Hollywood commercial film like "Lord of War".

...

At this time.

Miyazaki Hayao suddenly spoke.

"Although my works are mainly in the field of animation, I don't know much about the creation process of movies."

"However, through the explanations of Director Jiang and Mr. Leonardo, I now have a rough outline of the story that contestant No. 111 will create in my mind."

"But, I think there is another problem now..."

...

Suddenly, he changed the subject.

"Since we can all guess the subsequent development of the story."

"Then, can this contestant's story still be considered exciting?"

...

As soon as Miyazaki said this.

Jiang Wen, who had just given a good review, was stunned.

And Leo next to him paused.

He also frowned.

...

Miyazaki's meaning is very simple.

If it develops as they speculated.

This story is indeed qualified.

It may even reach the level of excellence.

But!

Don't forget where this is!

Creative Competition!

...

Wen Si Quan Yuan Creative Competition.

This is a stage for showing creation, innovation, and all kinds of unrestrained creativity.

Why is it so popular?

Isn't it because of the continuous emergence of new trends that bring new vitality to the film and television, animation, game and other creative industries?

But now.

You can all guess the subsequent development of Hitler's story.

So.

Can such a story still be considered a creative story?

...

Miyazaki Hayao doesn't need to explain.

Everyone understood what he meant.

For a moment.

Several people couldn't help but be silent.

Yes.

The story is a good story.

But no matter how good a story is, once it falls into clichés.

It allows the audience to easily guess the subsequent development.

Then such a story.

Can it still be called good?

...

"Miyazaki Hayao's speech makes sense."

Seeing that there was a bit of a lull.

Maimaiti immediately took over the topic.

"On the stage of our "Wensiquanyong Creation Competition", creation, innovation, and creativity are very important."

"But what Leonardo and Director Jiang said just now are just their speculations."

He said with a smile.

"How will contestant No. 111 improve this story?"

"Until the complete story is revealed, none of us will know."

"I think we can all look forward to it."

"What if he can surprise us?"

"What if he can bring us a brand new story?"

...

Maimaiti was warming up the audience.

He was also speaking for Fang Yuan.

You can guess.

But you can't just draw conclusions about Fang Yuan's story.

What if he can really surprise us.

What if he can show a Hollywood story that is not so templated?

...

"Look, he started writing."

Noticing that Fang Yuan paused for a moment.

He started writing again.

Maimaiti reminded.

So everyone looked at the screen.

...

This time.

There was obvious curiosity and expectation in their eyes.

Hitler written by Fang Yuan.

Will it really be like what Leo speculated.

Become a standardized film and television story?

Or...

Will it take a different path?

...

In the room.

Fang Yuan tapped the keyboard.

Accompanied by a series of crisp knocking sounds.

New words.

Appear on the paper.
