Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 689: Terminator Released, Vodka: Am I Going to Be Famous?!
Takeshi Ono and the cast and crew of "Spirited Away" held a lively celebration party, while the storm outside had not yet subsided.

Even though Spirited Away has finished its theatrical run, the impact of this unprecedented animated film continues to grow.

With his boundless imagination and delicate, lively brushstrokes, Hayao Miyazaki created a unique world full of mystery and fantasy.

Whether in terms of its outstanding expressiveness or its unique technical sophistication, it has provided other animators with more inspiration and has brought about a transformative impact on the animation industry.

It has become a benchmark in the industry!
Its pioneering "aerial animation" mode, for example, uses dynamic calculations to determine the frequency of hair trembling and the trajectory of clothing swaying, laying the foundation for modern animation industry standards.

Another example is the "multi-layered transparent watercolor technique," which creates a hazy, luminous effect on the painting, and is also a groundbreaking innovation.

This technology was later adopted by studios such as Pixar in their 3D rendering algorithms.

What's even more remarkable is that Spirited Away has broken through cultural barriers and had a significant impact on the world.

The character Chihiro, whom he created as an "imperfect protagonist," broke the paradigm of the "perfect" image of Disney princesses and spurred a realist shift in works such as Frozen.

The technique of embedding environmental issues into mythological narratives has inspired the cultural expression of works such as "Coco".

This is not an isolated case.

Its influence can be described as far-reaching.

On the other hand, the astonishing box office results have shown countless people the great potential of animated films, thereby attracting more talent to the industry.

It can be said that Spirited Away played an indispensable role in the prosperity of the Japanese animation industry in later generations!
This marked Miyazaki Hayao's breakthrough, making him a leading figure among animation directors.

This future master, under the influence of Oni Takeshi, began his illustrious life earlier than in his previous life.

I wonder how many of his peers envy Takeshi Ono for bringing such a talent under his wing so early on. He has already created "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Spirited Away," and who knows how many more outstanding works will be created in the future.

Hayao Miyazaki is simply a priceless gold mine!
But such a gold mine was not for them; they could only look on with envy, each of them green with envy for Oni no Takeshi.

Then think about the stars under Oni no Eiga such as Asano Minami, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and Shimabukuro Kimie. Aren't they all incredibly popular and have immeasurable commercial value?
These people immediately became even more envious and jealous.

How come all the good things happen to Ono Takeshi?

Why don't I have such good luck?
While feeling envious, one has to admit that Ono Takeshi has a keen eye for talent.

It seems that everyone he favors achieves extraordinary success.

The title "Master of Midas Touch" is truly well-deserved!
In a short time, Guiye Pictures became even more popular, and its influence grew day by day. With its huge scale, well-established distribution channels and international reputation, it was showing signs of becoming the leading film and television group.

Not only in Japan, but also overseas, "Spirited Away" has sparked a considerable wave of movie-watching enthusiasm.

Although "Bunny Drop" was also released globally, just as Takeshi Ono predicted, due to the clash between Eastern and Western cultures, the response was not as enthusiastic as it was in Japan.

Although the box office performance was slightly inferior, the film received positive reviews and praise from many renowned directors and film critics.

Moreover, the claim that its box office performance was inferior is only in comparison to Takeshi Onino's own films.

Thanks to Takeshi Ono's global fame, "Bunny Drop" eventually grossed over $2 million worldwide, ranking among the top fifteen films of the year.

For an art-house drama, this is definitely not a bad result.

However, compared to the others, Spirited Away has indeed had a greater impact and is more popular among Westerners.

This film not only achieved great success in Japan, but also transcended cultural boundaries, generating widespread resonance and profound impact globally.

Filmmakers from around the world gave it extremely high praise, and viewers who saw it discussed it endlessly, creating quite a stir. This animated whirlwind swept the globe, not only making Hayao Miyazaki famous, but also making Takeshi Onino and Onino Pictures even more renowned and deeply ingrained in people's minds.

It wasn't until the release of another movie that everyone's attention was diverted.

This movie is none other than the one directed by James Cameron and starring vodka—

Terminator

……

As a special effects blockbuster, "The Terminator" took a long time to produce.

In fact, filming had already ended, and Vodka had long since returned to his job of killing and arson. However, due to the large number of special effects shots, post-production was time-consuming and laborious, and it has only been completed now.

Paramount finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During filming, Cameron repeatedly used various excuses to persuade Paramount to increase its investment, resulting in the final cost being 50% higher than expected!

Paramount is terrified of Cameron. Every time they contact him, they're on tenterhooks, afraid that he'll say, "We don't have enough money to film anymore, we need to add more!"

Thankfully, this guy finally finished filming.

Shirley Lansing immediately slammed her fist on the table: "Start the publicity campaign right away and schedule the release as soon as possible!"

We must make that money back!
Although Cameron is a bit of a jerk, he's definitely got a knack for it. After seeing the finished film, Shirley Lansing was very confident about it.

Under her orders, Terminator promotional posters were soon plastered all over North America.

The classic image of the "T-800" can be seen everywhere in various public places.

In North America, even when people go to the restroom at a gas station, they can immediately see a burly man in a black leather jacket, revealing his massive chest muscles, wearing sunglasses, with a rugged, angular face and a cold expression staring at them.

His well-developed muscles exuded an explosive sense of power, and the Remington in his hand gave off a chilling murderous aura.

"Hey, this guy is really cool!"

The crowd was immediately drawn to the image of this muscular man.

Cold-blooded, strong, and murderous!
The T-800's image perfectly matches Westerners' aesthetic of strength.

"I like this guy, what's his name?"

“…Uozuka Saburo?”

……

With widespread publicity, news of "The Terminator" spread throughout the streets and alleys, generating tremendous attention.

The most eye-catching of them all is undoubtedly the T-800, which looks incredibly powerful.

And the actor who played it, Saburo Uozuka, became known as a result.

Vodka, who was at the America branch base and had been keeping a close eye on the film's progress, had a look of surprise spreading across his usually cool face.
