Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 381: Magic is the mirror of the heart, the popular Koizumi Hongzi
"Meow meow meow!"

Hearing Gigi's normal cat meow in front of her, Kiki was completely dumbfounded.

Why did Kiki suddenly not understand what Jiji said?

Because the reason why Kiki can understand Gigi's words is not because of magic, but because of her pure and innocent heart, which has created an inexplicable and wonderful connection with Gigi.

However, when that heart was no longer so pure, Kiki also lost the ability to communicate with cats.

During this period of time, Kiki is no longer the carefree little girl. She has experienced setbacks, grown up, made friends, and had other thoughts.

And Gigi also has her own favorite cat.

Both the man and the cat seemed to have changed.

So they could no longer understand each other's voices.

People always lose something in the process of growing up. Perhaps this is the price of growing up.

Not only did Kiki lose the ability to communicate with Jiji, she also found that her magic was gradually disappearing without her noticing.

She can't fly anymore!

Qiqi suddenly panicked.

But the reality is always cruel. No matter how many times she tried, even if she broke her broom, she still couldn't change the fact that her magic was weakening.

Seeing Kiki falling down the hillside repeatedly with a panicked look on her face, the audience showed expressions of heartache and sympathy.

"Why can't Chi-Chi use magic anymore?"

Ayumi asked in confusion.

"Because magic is a mirror of the inner self."

Conan explained.

Ayumi nodded, not quite understanding.

"In the movie setting, the witches' magic power is a spiritual power that is directly related to their mental state."

“When Qiqi first arrived in a strange city, she was filled with enthusiasm and longing for an independent life, and magic (the ability to fly) was an extension of her innocence.”

"But with the pressure of reality, negative emotions such as being laughed at, work problems, loneliness, inferiority and self-denial, etc., gradually made Qiqi fall into self-doubt."

"This psychological burden undermined her trust in her own abilities."

"She forgot what her mother told her - to always smile!"

Onino Takeshi explained in a low voice to Shinna Kaori who also had doubts.

Kiki's weakening magic symbolizes the "identity crisis" that is inevitable during adolescence.

After leaving her familiar environment, she had to redefine herself: from a "witch" who relied on her talent to an ordinary person who integrated into society.

When she tried to imitate others (such as her envy of fashionable girls) and cater to other people's expectations, she lost her original purity.

It's like when we step into society from our simple and beautiful original family and ivory tower and come into contact with things we have never been exposed to before, our ideas will naturally change.

The "loss of speech" of the black cat Jiji is also meaningful, symbolizing the separation of Qiqi from the innocence of childhood.

When a person begins to face the world independently, the "imaginary companion" (or childlike perspective) that once accompanied him or her will gradually fade away.

These are the metaphors and symbols left by Mr. Gong, and are also the necessary path to growth.

However, the interaction between Jiji and the white cat at the end also implies that growing up is not about losing all innocence, but about learning to coexist with different stages of self.

In a word, growth is not a linear process of becoming stronger, but a process of constantly finding your original intention in the midst of loss.

This is also the theme of this movie.

The weakening of magic is not a "failure", but a sign of transformation.

When Kiki no longer viewed magic as a label of a special identity, but instead transformed it into a love of life and the courage to help others, she truly grasped the essence of magic.

Therefore, when Kiki saw her good friend the dragonfly in danger, she, who had been unable to fly, finally flew into the sky again!

At that moment, the worry for friends and the desire to save each other surpassed all utilitarianism and negative emotions.

……

The movie is coming to an end.

It is also the highest part of the dynasty.

Airship in distress!

Everyone showed anticipation.

Many viewers come here just for the "real scenes".

Gui Yewu did not disappoint them.

The footage of the hijacking incident was directly edited in.

Watching the extremely realistic and thrilling scenes on the screen, the audience exclaimed in amazement and shouted that it was so exciting.

This is a first-person perspective, it’s worth the money!

Although the criminals were eventually arrested, Dragonfly accidentally fell off the airship.

Kiki, who saw this scene on TV, was shocked.

Without caring about anything else, he snatched the mop from the uncle next to him and kicked his legs!
With Kiki's surprised expression, she flew up again!

At the critical moment, she instinctively chose to put aside her anxiety about "whether she could fly" and acted purely to save her friends, and the magic naturally reappeared.

The final result is of course a happy ending for everyone, as Qiqi successfully rescued the dragonfly at the critical moment. At the end of the movie, Qiqi is still delivering food, but the smile on her face shows that her mood has changed.

She was no longer depressed or self-doubting, but found her goals and dreams again.

I have a new life and made new friends.

She also fell in love with the city more and more.

Even though she still couldn't understand what Gigi said until the end, she would continue this friendship in another way.

People always have to learn to grow up. While we lose something, we also gain something else.

Look at the world from a different perspective.

Maybe…growing up isn’t so bad after all!
When the subtitles "End of Film" appeared, the audience burst into warm applause.

“What a great movie.”

Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki clapped their hands, looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Every adult has different feelings about this movie, but no one can deny that "Kiki's Delivery Service" is definitely a wonderful movie worth watching over and over again!
Children like Ayumi don’t have such a deep understanding. They are still young and cannot appreciate the profound theme of the movie. They just think that the witch in it is cool and the plot is interesting.

"I want to ride a broom when I get home too!"

Many people have this thought in their minds.

They also hope to fly freely in the sky like Qiqi.

Although childish, this innocence is the most precious thing.

The media reporters and film critics at the scene all looked at the man in front with admiration, sighing that it was really worthy of Takeshi Onino to make another excellent classic movie!
Then they swarmed forward, ready to interview him.

Some colleagues who had sneaked in to gather intelligence were completely worried.

Indeed, it is better to expect the Chinese national football team to win the World Cup than to expect Takeshi Ono to suffer a Waterloo!
Judging from the quality of "Kiki's Delivery Service", their movies have no competitiveness at all!

They all sighed with envy, saying, "Since we were born, why did the ghosts exist?"

……

the next day.

When the box office figures for the premiere came out, although it was expected, it still surprised many people who were paying attention.

7300 yen!
The third day was even better.

8200 yen!
Breaking 100 million in two days!

Countless people were speechless like the black cat Gigi.

Even if you are Gui Yewu, isn't this too discouraging?
Faced with the as-yet-strong Gui Ye Wu, those film companies that chose to withdraw or postpone their releases have expressed their gratitude, saying that they were lucky they ran fast... and made the right decision!
As for those stubborn guys, they were immediately numb.

I can only comfort myself that Kiki's Delivery Service is not of the same genre as their movies, so I guess there is still some soup left...

╥﹏╥

Professionals analyzed that with this box office growth trend, although it is unlikely that the box office of "Kiki's Delivery Service" will exceed 100 billion in the end, it is definitely an unattainable number.

People in the entertainment industry immediately became envious of Yoko Okino, Osamu Kenzaki, Yuki Takeno and others - now no one dared to be jealous of Takeshi Onino anymore.

If you surpass someone by one step, you may feel envy, jealousy and hatred, but if you surpass someone by a hundred steps, all that is left is awe.

There is no comparison, there really is no comparison!
Yoko Okino and others were all pleasantly surprised, they made a lot of money!
So what if he's just a supporting role? Isn't Onino Takeshi's supporting role better than other main characters?!

They are all like this, not to mention the heroine Koizumi Akako.

"Instant hit" is not enough to describe her. Just like her name, she is extremely popular!

"Kiki's Delivery Service" itself is a drama with a strong female lead, which is very flattering. Kiki's image is also very positive, which makes it easy for her to win the audience's favor.

Coupled with Koizumi Akako's beauty and unique temperament that surpass ordinary people, as well as the influence of magic, the movie has made her a national idol just a few days after its release!
His rise to fame was faster than any previous star!
Only Yukiko Fujimine back then can be compared to her.

Everyone sighed that a dazzling super star had risen in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Countless film invitations and notices came to Koizumi Akako like snowflakes.

However, these opportunities that were enough to cause other actors to get pink eye were all rejected by Koizumi Akako.

Koizumi Akako's original intention of acting was not to become famous, but now looking at the popularity of "Kiki's Delivery Service", her goal is very likely to be achieved. In this case, she will naturally retire after achieving her goal.

Compared to being a star, she prefers to tease Kuroba Kaito.

How can you develop your career when you haven’t even got a man yet?

So Koizumi Akako simply turned down everything and resolutely returned to school, with no attachment to the glamorous entertainment industry and life under the spotlight.

Although the attention paid to her increased a lot, she was already a well-known figure in the school, so it didn't have much impact.

Koizumi Akako's "Buddhism" makes everyone who knows about it sigh.

Many people who envy her think that she is ungrateful and pretending to be noble.

For those who like the girl, it’s a pity that she doesn’t know how to seize the opportunity.

But would Miss Hongzi care about this?
Compared to these trivial matters, she had another important matter to do next -

That is the creation of the Harry Potter novel!

"Kiki's Delivery Service" has already made a good start. Next, we must keep up the good work and write the novel according to the outline and settings provided by Takeshi Onino.

When the day comes when "Harry Potter" makes a sensation around the world, my goal will definitely be achieved!
She believes in Harry Potter, and she believes in Onino Takeshi even more!

Koizumi Hongzi is looking forward to the day when the second witch is born!
