Chapter 736: Cause and Effect

"Teacher Huang, long time no see. When he met Huang Shaotian, Jiang Yan greeted him with a smile.

"Little Jiang, tsk, the change is quite big, I don't dare to recognize it. Huang Shaotian glanced at Jiang Yan, and then said.

"What's wrong with me?" Jiang Yan asked.

Huang Shaotian teased: "It's become more beautiful, I'm afraid that if I talk to you as an old man, I will be beaten to death as an old pervert." ”

Jiang Yan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Teacher Huang, it's really a joke." This time, we will cooperate, and I will ask the teacher to take care of me later. ”

"The last time we cooperated, you were still on CCTV, and you didn't think about it in a blink of an eye. I think you'd better take care of me, haha. ”

The two joked and came to Tianman's studio. Tianman also opened a review program on animation.,It's similar to "Meet at the Premiere".,But there's only animation.,But it's not limited to Tianman's works.,It's not limited to movies.,TV version and ova, etc., will also be introduced.,One issue a week。

The host is naturally Jiang Yan, and the special guest invited to this episode of the show is Huang Shaotian.

"Ping'an City has changed too much, I just came here a few years ago, but when I came this time, I didn't recognize that this was Ping'an City, I thought I had come to the legendary Gensokyo. ”

"There is also the Baiyulou Snack City, Teacher Xiaohe is really amazing, Leng has created such a snack city, so that people don't want to come out when they drill inside. ”

"What about the housing prices here, I want to settle in Ping'an City. ”

"By the way, is the program allowed me to spray Teacher Xiaohe?"

Huang Shaotian's mouth never stopped from beginning to end, chattering for a long time, Jiang Yan felt that even if he was locked up in the house alone, he could talk to himself for a lifetime.

"Personal build yì. For the sake of your own safety, please be cautious. Jiang Yan said.

Huang Shaotian was shocked: "So dangerous? Could it be that this is really the legendary man-eating Demon King City?"

"Alright, no kidding. It's time to record the show, the ratings of this show are not bad, I'm worried about what bad things will happen to you when you meet excited fans. This is Ping'an City, there is not much of anything, there are many fans and thieves. ”

As soon as the studio was ready, the two ended their small talk, and after the director made an OK gesture, they began to record the show.

“《steins; Gate" from the initial blandness. is not favored, and the final sensation has brought us a wonderful journey through time and space. I believe that the audience and friends already know Mr. Huang Shaotian next to me very well, and I don't know what Mr. Huang Shaotian thinks of "Steins; How's Gate?"

After Jiang Yan's brief opening remarks, he led the topic to "Steins; Gate and Huang Shaotian. Huang Shaotian immediately entered the state and calmly took over the topic.

"Traveling through time and space is an old theme, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, for the mysterious topic of time and space, people have never given up their fantasies. 《steins; Gate is unique in style, and the plot height far exceeds other similar works. Tong guò is engaging, and the ups and downs of the super unfolding storyline are substituted for the audience's feelings. A lot of people think it's slow, but I want to say. The previous plots are by no means nonsense, but an important foreshadowing for subsequent development and ending orientation. ”

"At the very beginning, the real John Tito, Euratom, not a simple parallel timeline as the basis of logic, enough flavor; The different levels of science fiction of 'letting simple text information travel through time and space', 'letting consciousness travel through time and space', and 'letting people travel through time and space' are realized along with the story; in the middle of the story, there is a shocking reversal, and the plot is gorgeously advanced with Madger's 'man is essentially temporal', and the perfect plot fits the changes in the timeline. ”

"It seems that you have a lot of interest in Steins; Gate's rating is very high. Jiang Yan continued.

Huang Shaotian continued: "Personally, I think that the most important factor in works on the theme of traveling through time and space is the setting of 'cause and effect'. Whether you can grasp this factor well is directly related to the success of the whole film. And the most classic is from effect to cause. That is, the beginning is the result of the formulation, and then it is substituted into the subsequent process. And this process will eventually lead to the result of that formulation. This makes it easy to set up suspense. Arouse people's curiosity to the fullest, and see the end can give people a sense of sudden enlightenment. ”

"Hear you say that "Steins; Gate seems to be just that. Jiang Yan said, "Unlike Hollywood genre films, which fix contradictions and plot climaxes, "Steins; In the first half of "Gate", the characters are placed in their proper positions, showing the changes in the timeline with small coincidences and small details, and the plot is like a series of arcs drawn slowly spirally with a pencil. When halfway through the plot, the plot turns around, like using a colored pen to repaint all the circles you have just drawn with the color of a dream. In the last few episodes, the pen is just at the place where the pen is put down for the first time, and all the arcs are perfectly closed, and the curtain is wonderful. ”

Huang Shaotian nodded and said: "There is another point, many science fiction works will be very jerky and difficult to understand, and they will play esoteric. But I think that the most important thing for science fiction works is to be easy to understand, at least not pretending to be profound. Just because it's less jerky doesn't mean it's superficial, it's 'logical' that's the point. Many of the works that are called 'brain-burning' are not because of how difficult they are, but because they are logical, and if you clear your mind, it is easy to understand, in fact, it is just a 'because so' story. ”

“《steins; The whole work of "Gate" is very rigorous from beginning to end, as much as possible to 'justify itself', the cycle of cause and effect. From the first episode, the foreshadowing was laid: I saw my assistant stabbed to death. This key point led to a series of subsequent events: sending the first D-mail -- entering A-World Line from β World Line -- Seeing A-World Line's assistant -- Stumbling upon the combination of an electronic oven and a mobile phone -- Beginning to study D-Mail -- Studying Memory Transmission...... Until the death of Justification, this place began to enter the climax, Okabe countless memory transmissions, and later the assistant helped him find the root cause, and then solved the cause, and finally found that it was back to the original point. ”

"This foreshadowing is beautifully buried, and the process is really wonderful. But the one that made me feel the most 'finishing touch' was the last two episodes, how Okabe escaped the confinement of the world line and 'rescued' his assistant from the law of cause and effect. It's exciting, ingenious, and plausible – and of course, it's based on the story's worldview. Speaking of the highlights, Huang Shaotian couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, and kept gesturing with his hands.

"How Okabe can escape the confines of the world line, how to rescue his assistant under the shackles of the law of cause and effect, the conclusion given in the play is 'deception' - deceiving the original self. Because at that time, there was only one condition that triggered Okabe's text message: to see the assistant lying in a pool of blood. And it doesn't matter if you're dead or not. Like the assistant who slept on the red paint? It doesn't matter. Because the moment he sent the text message, Okabe went to the A World Line to 'drift', and after he came back, he didn't know any news from the β World Line in the past two weeks. Of course, I won't know from the news whether the assistant is dead or not. ”

Huang Shaotian paused before saying, "Steins; What first attracted me to Gate was its science-based setting. The theoretical framework of time travel as a theme is not as simple as a blue fat man popping out of a drawer, but is based on the existing theory of time machine qì and a little fantasy. ”

"The excitement of the characters in the work when they discover unknown phenomena, the persistence in the process of establishing a hypothesis, carrying out realization, failure, and re-realization, and finally the joy of the original understanding and the success of the invention all touched my curiosity and explored with them. This work also has as many as 224 annotations of huge information knowledge content,From this point alone,It's not difficult to find that this work is not a pure fantasy system,It's a science fiction work based on reality,Not only that,It's also a non-pretentious insinuation of things that exist in reality such as cern、dmfun,Give people a huge sense of reality、A sense of substitution,People can't extricate themselves from it。 ”

Speaking of "insinuation", Huang Shaotian smiled teasingly, Tianman's works often get into Tianman's products, and it has gradually become a feature of Tianman.

"As the story progresses, the twists and turns of the plot become another element that attracts me. As the price of distorting time and space, cause and effect step by step, fate also mercilessly mocks the characters in the work. Again and again nonsensical deaths have brought about more and more spiritual destruction, and the efforts to jump in time again and again have finally brought only the conclusion that the will of the world cannot be defied. The best efforts were rewarded with a chasm called despair. However, this qiē is not in vain, it is precisely because of the accumulation of these bits and pieces of the past that the world and self are finally redeemed. ”

"The characterization in the story is impressive. Jiang Yan said.

Huang Shaotian said: "The two heroines, Hong Liqi and Mayuri, one is a calm positivist who publishes articles in Science magazine, and the other is a very cute and naïve ordinary girl. I don't know how the Great Demon King set up the characters at the beginning, I just think there are two heroines, one represents the rational of logic, and the other represents irrational intuition. 《steins; In the story of "Gate", whether it is the lack of the rationality of Hong Liqi or the intuition of Mayuri, Okabe cannot hold on to the end of the story. ”

"There is also the protagonist, the sentence 'I am a science madman Phoenix Academy', from the naivety and ridiculousness at the beginning, the weakness when I can't do anything, the sadness and sadness after the decision of life and death, to the calm and calm of life and death after the catastrophe, it is the process of a child growing into a hero, I have to say, the interpretation of Okabe by that dubbing is very wonderful......"
