Miyazaki Hayao ()
Birthday: 194 1 1.05.
Place of birth: bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.
The second of the four brothers. Later, due to the evacuation during World War II, the family moved to Yu Dou Palace and Luhuma. My uncle, who lives in Lunuma, runs an aircraft factory with about 300 employees, who are responsible for manufacturing the tail rudder of the Zero fighter. Miyazaki Hayao's father is in charge of that factory. Miyazaki Hayao's mother is a very strict person, but her mind is smart. Miyazaki Hayao's brother later recalled that he couldn't help thinking of the pirate's mother-in-law in City of the Sky. Although they don't look alike at all, their personalities are quite similar. Miyazaki Hayao studied in a primary school in Utsunomiya from grade one to grade three, and then they moved back to Tokyo and transferred there. 1947, Miyazaki Hayao's mother suffered from tuberculosis and spent nine years in the hospital. The film My Neighbor Totoro can be said to have some shadows of this gloomy day.
1958 The first full-length color movie animation "Legend of the White Snake" (produced by Dongying Animation) was released. Miyazaki Hayao, then a senior three student, fell in love with this film, and he was interested in cartoons. He also decided to become a cartoonist. But Miyazaki Hayao, who used to like drawing warships and planes, found that he was not good at drawing people. After graduating from high school, Miyazaki Hayao entered Tokyo to study. I majored in political economy. At the same time, I also joined the Children's Literature Research Association. At that time, there was no such society as comic book club. The Children's Literature Research Association has the closest relationship with comics. At one time, Miyazaki Hayao was the only member of the association.
During the period of 1960, the Japanese security struggle movement caused social unrest, and many students took part in demonstrations against security treaties. Miyazaki Hayao has been watching with a conservative attitude, but after seeing the photos of the injured teachers and students published, he made up his mind to join the demonstration, but the student movement has gradually entered a low tide.
1963, graduated from Miyazaki Hayao University and entered the animation work of Dongying. After three months of training, he became an animator. Officially joined the animation industry. The first work that I participated in was 65438+ Dongying's theatrical animation "Wan Wan Zhong Chen Ji" in February of the same year. Later, Miyazaki Hayao participated in the first TV animated series "Wolf Child Ken" in Japan. At that time, the salary in Miyazaki Hayao was very low (only 19500 yen, and renting an apartment alone cost 6000 yen). Besides, some of his projects are often rejected, but Miyazaki Hayao still sticks to his ideals. After watching the Russian cartoon dairy queen, Miyazaki Hayao's creative flame became more intense. Later, he recalled: "I saw how cautious and cherished animation is ... animation is a pure and simple art, which allows us to express it through imagination ... its power is not inferior to poetry."
1964, became the secretary-general of Dongying Animation Labor Association, at that time Takada Xun was the vice chairman of the association. That year, Miyazaki Hayao started dating his colleague, Miss Takemi Ota. 1965 autumn, volunteered to help the production team of "Prince of the Sun" directed by Takada Xun to do scene design and original painting. In the same year 10, Miyazaki Hayao married Miss Takemi Ota. He had their first son in 1967 1 month. Prince of the Sun was finally released in June 1968. At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Miyazaki Hayao were involved in the production of Puss in Boots. In the second year, they participated in the production of "Flying Thunder Ship that Never Sleeps". 1April 969, the second son.
197 1 year, Miyazaki Hayao left Japan Animation to work in A-Pro with Takada Hiroshi and Yoichi Oda. 1973, the animation Panda produced by him and Hiroshi Takada was released. In this work, Miyazaki Hayao has four roles: original case, script and scene design. As soon as Takada Xun and Xiaobu left A-Pro, they joined Zuiyo Picture. In July, Miyazaki Hayao went to Switzerland to take photos, seeking inspiration for his next work Heidi in the Alps, in which he worked as a scene designer and picture composition. 1975 went to Italy and Argentina to shoot, prepared to make "Looking for Mother in Three Thousand Miles" and worked as a scene designer.
1978, Miyazaki Hayao's first work, Future Boys Conan, was broadcast on NHK, which was well received. This film shows Miyazaki Hayao's thoughts and style greatly. 1979 entered the "Tokyo Film News Agency", 1980 directed "Lubang III Kali Ostro City" (theater). Once again, it shows the adventure film style of Future Teenagers. 1982' s long cartoon "Valley of the Wind" began to be serialized in Animage magazine of German-Chinese Bookstore, and it didn't end until 1994. 1982 10, quit Tokyo Film News Agency and became a free man.
1983, the animated version of "Valley of the Wind" was planned, with Takada Xun as the producer and Topcraft Studio responsible for the production of the whole film. In July of the same year, Miyazaki Hayao's mother died at the age of 7 1 year. The theatrical animation Valley of the Wind 1988+0984 was released in March, with rich imagination and profound content.

Miyazaki Hayao and Ghibli
Miyazaki Hayao (1941)/kloc-0 was born in Tokyo on October 5th, ranking second among the four brothers. His family originally lived in bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. Later, due to the evacuation during World War II, his family moved to Utsunomiya and Ruma. His uncle who lives in Luuma runs an airplane factory. Miyazaki Hayao's father is a supervisor in that factory. Miyazaki Hayao's mother is a strict and clever woman, which has a great influence on Miyazaki Hayao's life. Miyazaki Hayao's younger brother later recalled that when he saw the pirate's mother-in-law in City in the Sky, he couldn't help thinking of his mother. Although she doesn't look like her at all, she is very similar in character.
Miyazaki Hayao studies in Utsunomiya primary school from grade one to grade three. Later, they moved back to Tokyo and went to school in Tokyo. 1938+0947, Miyazaki Hayao's mother suffered from tuberculosis and stayed in bed for nine years. From the movie My Neighbor Totoro, we can see the shadow of the gloomy days in Miyazaki Hayao.
1958, the first full-length color movie animation "Legend of the White Snake" (produced by Dongying Animation) was released. Miyazaki Hayao, then a senior three student, fell in love with this film, and he also became interested in animation. Miyazaki Hayao used to like to draw some warships and planes, but he was not good at drawing people. Even a few years later, he was determined to become a cartoonist.
After graduating from high school, Miyazaki Hayao entered the School of Tokyo University, majoring in political economy. 1963, graduated from Miyazaki Hayao University and worked in Dongying Animation. His first work was the theatrical animation Loyalty of Wan Wan, which was released in February of the same year. Later, Miyazaki Hayao participated in the first TV animation of Japan-Wolf Child Ken.
At that time, some of his plans were often rejected, but Miyazaki Hayao still stuck to his ideals. After watching the Russian cartoon "dairy queen", Miyazaki Hayao's creative enthusiasm is even higher. He later recalled: "I saw how cautious and cherished animation is ... animation is a pure and simple art, which allows us to express it through imagination ... its power will not be lost to poetry, novels or drama."
1964, Miyazaki Hayao became the secretary general of Dongying Animation Labor Association, and Gao Tianxun was the vice chairman of the association at that time-it is said that Miyazaki Hayao was a socialist. That year, Miyazaki Hayao started dating his colleague, Miss Ota. 1In the autumn of 965, Miyazaki Hayao volunteered to help the production team of Prince of the Sun directed by Gao Tianxun with the scene design and original painting. This is the beginning of their cooperation. It is also the first step of Miyazaki Hayao's animation career. In the same year 10, Miyazaki Hayao married Miss Takemi Ota and gave birth to her first son on 1967 1 0. After the release of Prince of the Sun 1968, Miyazaki Hayao and his wife participated in the production of puss in boots. In the second year, they participated in the production of "Flying Bu Yulei" together.
197 1 year, Miyazaki Hayao left Japan Animation to work in "A-Pro" with Gao Tianxun and Yoichi Oda. 1973, his animation "Little Panda" with Gao Tianxun was released. In this work, Miyazaki Hayao occupies four positions-the original case, the script and the scene. As soon as Gao Tianxun and Xiaowei left "A-Pro", they joined "Zuiyo Picture". In July, Miyazaki Hayao went to Switzerland for location shooting, seeking inspiration for his next work Heidi, a girl in the Alps, where he served as scene design and picture composition. 1975, he went to Italy and Argentina for location shooting, preparing to shoot "Three Thousand Miles to Find Mother". 19960.8883888863 17
1978, the first work made by Miyazaki Hayao was broadcast on NHK, which was well received, and Miyazaki Hayao's thoughts and styles were displayed in this film. The teenager known as "Conan" has a pair of useful feet besides his hands. When people see Conan's energetic movements, they will unconsciously feel tired. There is no slow story composition, which is fascinating. Different from the large-scale animation described through series, the fun of the work lies in Conan's growth, and almost all women think Conan is an "ideal son". But with the development of the story, Conan, who has always been a wild child in the eyes of women, said, "I want to go back to Coral Water Island, and then I hope to come with Lana again." From this passage, we can see that he has grown into a mature man. This is not to say ".
The structural composition of Haba, who lived in nature by relying on the old civilization of Italy, was inherited by Miyazaki Hayao's later works. This is the first TV series produced by Miyazaki Hayao in the animation broadcast by NHK. This is the period when Miyazaki Hayao's style and thoughts gradually formed: romantic temperament and adventurous spirit, pure youth and growing mood.
1979, Miyazaki Hayao entered the Tokyo Film News Agency, and 1980 directed "The City of Lubang III Cariostro" (theatrical version), which once again showed the adventurous film style of "future teenagers".
1982 is an important year for Miyazaki Hayao fans. The long cartoon Valley of the Wind began to be serialized in Animage magazine of German-Chinese Bookstore until 1994. This seven-volume cartoon, which lasted 12, not only contains epic chapters, but also spans the journey of life and death. It is also the crystallization of Miyazaki Hayao's long-term thinking about environmental protection and humanism. It can be said that we should realize that Miyazaki Hayao has changed from caring about the environment to questioning the justice of "environmental protection", from caring about human beings, thinking about the growth process of young people until middle age, to questioning and interpreting the origin and significance of human beings, and finally put forward that "life is a shining lamp in the dark" at a chaotic moment, so no matter how difficult it is, the "ultimate meaning" has been reflected in this profound and magnificent cartoon.
This year, Miyazaki Hayao met another person who influenced his life, that is, the famous Yasuyoshi Tokuma Railway Construction. As the president of the largest Japanese bookstore, he keenly discovered Miyazaki Hayao's talent and funded Miyazaki Hayao and Takada to set up a studio. In the same year 165438+ 10, Miyazaki Hayao quit the Tokyo Film News Agency and became a freelance writer. 538. 10000606 166 The animated version of Valley of the Wind directed by Miyazaki Hayao began to be planned, with Gao Tianxun as the producer and Topcraft Studio responsible for the whole film production. In July of the same year, Miyazaki Hayao's mother died at the age of 765,438+0.
The theatrical animation Valley of the Wind was released in March. 1984. This film concentrates many characteristics of Miyazaki Hayao's animation, such as beautiful and exquisite pictures, colorful characters, humorous dialogue and positive spirit ... all of which make Miyazaki Hayao's reputation as a national animator suitable for all ages rise, and the film reflects the nature of self-attack due to ignorance of war and excessive plunder of human beings. Rot, which is composed of giant fungi, emits toxic gases because of toxins produced by human beings, and is regarded as a biblical treasure by environmentalists. Miyazaki Hayao's status as a leader of "environmentalism" was thus determined. Although the content of the animated film "Valley of the Wind" is only a little more than that of comics due to the limitation of film length and tolerance, and as a representative production of Miyazaki Hayao animation in a smooth period, the film's obvious emotional ending and religious complex are criticized by critics. However, its rich imagination and profound content shocked the audience and the whole film industry. In April, with German financial support, Miyazaki Hayao and Gao Tianxun jointly founded the "Ermali" Club, which is the predecessor of Ghibli.
Along with The Valley of the Wind, there is also a film, The Underwater Sapphire Treasure of Sherlock Holmes, with Miyazaki Hayao as the script. Originally, this film was produced in cooperation with Italian TV, but it was stopped for some time because of copyright issues. In the film, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes turned out to be a German beagle, and his assistant Dr. Watson was a simple and honest Scottish long-haired dog. Mrs Hudson, the beautiful heroine in One Big Family, is a Yorkshire terrier in England, and the villain is of course Shapi. It is the privilege of comics to change the characters in the story into animals. Since then, the film has been adapted into a TV version of animation, and a special article "Conan the Future Youth" has been released.
1985, Studio Ghibli was founded and began to produce "City of the Sky". Since then, Miyazaki Hayao has started the most brilliant decade of his personal animation career, which is also a decade of great development of animation.
City in the Sky is a film adapted from Gulliver's Travels by jonathan swift. Some people think its story is traditional, but that doesn't mean it's not new. On the contrary, the city of the sky is full of many new elements. The film almost perfectly depicts the landscape of the world in the time when the story happened, which is a bit of science fiction, a bit of myth and a bit of the industrial revolution in Europe. For example, old trains on elevated tracks and dark mines. The city of the sky was published in 1986, which is Ghibli's pioneering work. Miyazaki Hayao is an original work, with four important tasks: producer, script and role setting, which makes this work infused with pure Miyazaki Hayao thought from beginning to end. Joe Hisaishi, Miyazaki Hayao's music partner, also reached the peak of his music career at this time. In fact, this film discusses the theme of man and nature.
My Neighbor Totoro in 1988 and the witch's home help in 1990 can be regarded as transitional chapters in Miyazaki Hayao's works. On the one hand, Miyazaki Hayao's focus gradually shifted from nature to human beings. On the other hand, because all the works in the past are fantastic worlds full of visual impact, Miyazaki Hayao's world seems to be just a tense plot and illusory time and space. My Neighbor Totoro and the Witch's Home Delivery gives up all exaggerated performances and complicated plots, and pays attention to ordinary people and the world around them. My Neighbor Totoro's description of family affection and the meticulous description of girls' growth in "The Witch's Home Delivery" make people feel cordial and moved. The release of "The Witch Deliver" also means that Ghibli has become the beginning of box office guarantee.
The Red Pig was published in 1992. It is a very important work of Miyazaki Hayao, but it is often overlooked. In fact, as far as the work itself and its significance to Miyazaki Hayao's creative career are concerned, it is a work that cannot be ignored. It has always been regarded as "describing simple people and simple stories, full of anti-metropolis complex, attaching importance to environmentalism, full of love, profound and broad, suitable for families to watch." This did not suddenly start to change in 1997. Although from the appearance, this Italian story with the background of 1920' s describes the story of a red pig named Bogo, which alludes to the growth process of middle age. No matter from the exquisite pictures, warm and beautiful music or relaxed and humorous plot, it can be clearly seen that Miyazaki Hayao's production is a masterpiece. However, Miyazaki Hayao, who has always been a teenager, especially a beautiful and lively girl, suddenly turned into a middle-aged Aguisan with a pig face, which in itself is a signal worthy of vigilance. Although the red-haired girl in the film has assumed the role of an encourager to bring light and hope to the red pig, the so-called growth of middle-aged people is just "although many things cannot be changed, as long as you like yourself, you can make life different". Miyazaki Hayao's optimism has actually changed at this moment. Especially, although Miyazaki Hayao's films were unsatisfactory from the beginning of Valley of the Wind, it was the first time that the ending like Red Pig was "unreasonable". Therefore, it is from this time that Miyazaki Hayao began to reflect on all his previous works and to think about "environmental protection".
Knowing this, you don't have to be shocked by the ghost princess who appeared five years later. Although it is a bit hard and obscure because it has been reduced from the initial five hours to two hours, although too many emotional dramas have been added for commercial purposes, the characterization of the characters is not as good as Miyazaki Hayao's previous works. Princess Ghost is still the pinnacle of Miyazaki Hayao's works and Miyazaki Hayao's painstaking work on the relationship between nature and human beings. Miyazaki Hayao himself has no answer. He is facing the only hope that can be seen in this era. Therefore, this story can only be explained by describing the war stories between the materialized man and the developing human in the mountainous area in the Muromachi era when the Japanese army began to invade the mountainous area. There is no usual happy ending at the end of the film, but Ashitaka, who realized that the war is far from over, said to Xiao Sang, "Let's live together." Only in this way can we get a real understanding. This is Miyazaki Hayao's helpless wry smile and expectation when he overthrew the ideals and theories he had been preaching even if he was not convinced. The dignity of life and the inviolability of nature have been lost in the past. Without support, Miyazaki Hayao himself didn't know what would happen in the future. The theme of "being alive" has also become throughout.
At one time, it was rumored that Miyazaki Hayao would retire after the production of Princess Ghost, instead of making cartoons. He once said that the work of directing animated films is simply painstaking. Due to physical problems, he can't personally direct some large-scale productions such as Princess Ghost, and it can also provide opportunities for young people. But this doesn't mean that he will give up his animation work. Miyazaki Hayao can also do some less tiring work in animation production, such as screenwriter.
Miyazaki Hayao, who announced his retirement after Princess Ghost, finally couldn't let go of the temptation of animation, withdrew the seal declaration and announced that he would make a film based on population and environmental problems in the 2nd/Kloc-0th century. So Spirited Away came into being. Two months after its release, it became the highest-grossing film in Japanese film history, setting an unparalleled record.
Spirited Away, released in July, 20065438+0, tells a short story about Chihiro's life, and tells how she gradually releases her potential and overcomes difficulties when facing difficulties. This is exactly what Miyazaki Hayao wants the audience to understand. Miyazaki Hayao himself thinks this is a film different from his previous stories. In the past, all his leading characters were his favorites, but this time Miyazaki Hayao deliberately shaped Chihiro into an ordinary character. The goal of a typical 10-year-old Japanese girl is to let every 10-year-old girl see herself from Chihiro. She is not a beautiful girl and has no special attraction, but her timid character and listless appearance are even more annoying. When Miyazaki Hayao first created this role, he was a little worried about her, but by the end of the story, he was sure that Chihiro would become a lovely character.
In 2002, Miyazaki Hayao established the Ghibli Art Museum in Sanying City, which is a place that all Miyazaki Hayao fans are eager to visit. However, Miyazaki Hayao hopes that fewer people will come, so that everyone can enjoy it better when they visit. Although it is to build an art gallery, it actually feels like making a new movie and doing a lot of new things. In fact, it is a fairly large project, and even if it is completed at present, it does not mean the end. Miyazaki Hayao also set himself a goal for the summer of 2004, because economic depression, environmental problems, population expansion, terrorist acts and wars will make people feel uneasy and have no hope for the future. He believes that this situation will be more obvious in the summer of 2004, so children will feel uneasy, confused and curious at that time. We must do something to solve these problems. Miyazaki Hayao stressed: "In that case, what kind of movies should we give to the children who lived in that era? I must do it with this idea this time. "
