ALL NOVEL Chapter 450
Chapter 450 Won the Grand Prize for the Second Time
On December 26, this is the day when the world’s fixed cultural media art festival awards awards.
That night, as the supervisor of “Your Name”, Makoto Takagi was invited to participate in the award ceremony.
Now that he has been invited, it means that “Your Name” has won the award, but it is still uncertain whether it is a “big award” or an “excellent award”.
If you remember correctly, the animation “Your Name” won the Grand Award of the Media Art Festival of the Cultural Affairs Agency in another world, but it did not win the three major awards.
In the same year, Naoko Yamada served as the supervisor of “Sound No Shape”. Although it only won the award for excellence at the Media Art Festival of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, but at the Tokyo Animation Awards, he killed “Your Name” and won the award in the animation film department.
Because of this honor, “The Shape of the Voice” was blown by many people.
In fact, “Shape of Sound” is indeed very good, but this animation mainly has an advantage in the subject matter, because this is not a commercial animation film, but an animation film with a literary orientation.
Literary and artistic animated films will be more dominant in the awards.
The subject of campus bullying is also more sensitive. It is probably easier to poke the heart of the judges and kill “Your Name”, which is not impossible.
As for the opinions of some black fans, they think that the animated film “The Shape of the Voice” is purely a defense for campus bullying. This view is too one-sided. It can only be said that these people did not understand the animation at all.
In this world, the Tokyo Animation Awards corresponds to the Shiraishi Prize, but it is just a bit similar in the award setting, and it is not completely equivalent, because the Shiraishi Prize in this world focuses more on commercial achievements.
It’s not that the artistry is not important, but to win the Shiraishi Award, you must first have a certain degree of commercial performance, and secondly, you must consider the artistry.
It can be said that Makoto Takagi cannot guarantee the Kyoto Animation Award and the Grand Prize of the Media Art Festival of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, but he thinks that there will probably be no problem with the Shiraishi Award next March.
Of course, including this media art festival of the Cultural Affairs Agency, it is a good thing to be able to win the grand prize, even if he can’t get the grand prize, he doesn’t care very much.
After all, it’s not the first time he has won the awards of the Media Art Festival of the Cultural Affairs Agency. He has won several other awards, not knowing how many times. The original “Magic Girl Madoka Magica” even won the grand prize of three major awards at the same time. .
Xin Haicheng from another world, before making “Your Name”, had not won the Media Art Festival award of the Cultural Affairs Agency, and may still need this award.
Since Takagi Makoto has already taken it, he is relatively indifferent. If he is willing to give it to him, he will accept it. If he is unwilling to give it to him, he will not regret it, let alone complain.
Moreover, “Your Name” has won several international animation awards. As a commercial animation, so many international awards are enough, there is no need to ask for too much.
He thought so, but…
Several animations that have won the award for excellence are announced one by one, and there is no “Your Name” from the beginning to the end.
Then, the host immediately announced the award-winning work: “This summer, an animated movie was released, which completely detonated the entire movie market. So far, the cumulative number of people mobilized has exceeded 20 million, and it is very popular both at home and abroad. The interesting plot has attracted countless viewers, and some of the content in the animation is also worthy of reflection…”
There is no doubt that the work that won the grand prize at the Media Art Festival of the Agency for Cultural Affairs this time is “Your Name”.
As for the reason for the award, it is said that this animation involves some traditional cultural elements of the island country, as well as a tribute to classic literature and classic film and television works.
In addition, this animation also involves some problems and reflections in small towns and metropolises.
In short, the connotation is profound and the artistic value is high.
After listening to the reasons for the award, Takagi Makoto was so confused that he wondered if anyone helped stuff money into the jury.
But then I think about it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the traditional cultural elements of the island country, the tribute to classic literature and classic film and television works, these are indeed the animation “Your Name” has.
As for the problems and reflections in small towns and big cities, he didn’t see it, but he is not the real author after all. Maybe Xin Haicheng, the real author of this animation, does anyone really have this meaning?
In any case, the reason for this award is convincing.
Another thing is that although the awards of the Media Art Festival of the Cultural Affairs Agency pay more attention to artistry, this is only the default rule of everyone, and in fact there is no explicit stipulation.
Based on the box office results of “Your Name”, it seems a bit unreasonable not to give awards. Moreover, the few animations that only won the award for excellence do not necessarily have so deep connotations. Compared with “Your Name”, it can be described as half a catty.
Although Makoto Takagi doesn’t care much about whether he can win the grand prize, he is still very happy now that he has won it, because this is the second time he has won the grand prize of the Media Art Festival of the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
After all, it is one of the three major awards in the animation industry in the island country, and it is also the most golden award. It is difficult for others to win the award once. To win this award twice, there are only a few people in the animation industry as a whole. They are all big brothers.
Now it’s Makoto Takagi’s turn to win the award twice, it seems invisibly, the compelling character of the whole person has improved a lot.
When the light fell on him, he followed with a smile.
Then, he was on the podium at the invitation of the host, received the award and expressed his acceptance speech: “Although it is the second time to win the media art festival award, he is still very happy and very excited. Thank you to the jury. , Thanks to everyone in the production team for their hard work and dedication, and also to all the audience who likes this animation…”
An official acceptance speech, but after speaking, there was still thunderous applause.
On the Internet, it was learned that “Your Name” was awarded a grand award at the Media Art Festival of the Cultural Affairs Agency, and Makoto Takagi became the latest second-time award-winning supervisor. Netizens couldn’t help but talk:
“It’s amazing, the box office is super high, and it can win big prizes. It’s worthy of my favorite “Your Name”.”
“It’s not in vain that I watched it back and forth seven or eight times, and contributed tens of thousands of yen to the box office.”
“Old thief Takagi is still strong. He won the media art festival award for the second time. In this way, even among a group of animation masters, he can be regarded as the best.”
“It’s a pity that this guy announced that the pen has been closed. If you continue to do it, it may really be the era of his Takagi Makoto in the future.”
“The awards of the media art festival have all been won. It seems that it may be another animation that has won three major awards. It is a pity that this is an animated film, not a TV animation, otherwise the gold content will be higher.”
