"I've talked about the method of animation production before, and today we're going to talk about the idea of the work. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This is an adult class opened by Longhua University, recruiting people who understand this aspect or have relevant volunteers, and these people are also lecturers or associate professors in the animation major of Longhua University, and today it is Liu Huayang's turn.

Liu Huayang is a super first-line lecturer in animation at Longhua University, only one step away from associate professor, his style is very casual, he doesn't like to prepare for classes, he always talks about what he thinks, this way makes his level look high and low, so he has been a lecturer for ten years, he has not been promoted to associate professor.

"The idea of the work should be considered from five aspects: the author's life, the creative background, the keywords of the work, and the main characters. ”

Liu Huayang put the whip in his hand on the table and said, "The first thing to say is the profile of Qingbai's character. ”

"From the information on the Internet and my investigation in all aspects, I know that Qingbai, 16 years old, a demon capital, debuted with "Death", and has created "Five Centimeters per Second", "One Piece", and participated in the creation of "One Punch Man", of which "Five Centimeters per Second" was made into an animated movie and broadcast, with a box office of 3 billion in the first month. ”

In terms of galgame, "Fate stay night" reached the sixth place on the galgame best-selling list and is expected to win. ”

In terms of animation, he first produced a musical animation "Lovelive!" and launched a girl group Muse, and most of the songs in this drama have a youthful atmosphere, which matches his personal age. ”

In terms of music, he created Vocaloid, and shortly after the Spring Festival, he used more than a dozen songs produced by the software to slaughter the dog music chart, and then recalled and redone it because of a major loophole, and there is no news so far. ”

The bilibili barrage network he produced became the first place in the potential list of new websites this year, and broke the previous record set by Penguin.com. ”

He is also the founder of the live streaming platform, and he also serializes two light novels that are not too popular on the Internet, and he is the first cartoonist to participate in the crossover promotion...... Half a year after his debut, he was saddled with a title that other people would take ten or even twenty years to obtain, and he is even expected to participate in the selection of the top ten young people of the Dragon Kingdom at the end of this year. ”

Liu Huayang's words shocked everyone. Before he explained, everyone could have imagined that Qingbai had done so many things, and the products he created had become so deeply rooted in their lives.

For example, the live broadcast platform, now many people will go to the Tianwang live broadcast network to watch those anchors live playing games, wild adventures, cooking, etc., and some people will often sprinkle hundreds of thousands of dragon yuan in rewards, coupled with the hard work of the Tianwang Group, the new thing of live broadcast has long been well-known.

The reputation of the bilibili barrage network is also very high,Now there are a lot of young people mixed in this website,Among them, the house dance area、Music area、Homo area is a large area with a huge amount of traffic,The website also has six or seven million online volume every day,It's basically equivalent to iQiyi、Penguin.com These large websites。

The animated film "Five Centimeters per Second" is also famous enough, and the box office of 3 billion in the first month represents at least 50 million people who have seen this movie.

As for the others, although I don't know very well, the gold content of the dog music chart is still very high, and the songs he created can be slaughtered, so it means that his ability to make music is unquestionable, does such a genius really exist?

Liu Huayang looked at the students in the audience who didn't keep their mouths shut for a long time because of shock, and he was secretly proud in his heart. These people have been looking at themselves every day since the beginning of the class, and now there are finally people who are younger than them and have much better grades than them, so that these people know how high the sky is, how thick the ground is, and feel good.

Liu Huayang clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention and said: "After talking about the experience, the next step is to the creative background." ”

"It takes more than half a year for a work to complete the first episode from the filing of the case, and the production team of the magical girl Madoka is about three times that of the other production teams, so according to one-third of the events, that is, three months, so what did Qingbai experience during the events from the end of April to the beginning of May?"

Looking at the silent crowd below, he felt his majesty for the first time in this class, and his voice became higher and higher: "Is there a classmate who can answer?"

After a moment's hesitation, a girl with eyes stood up, and she replied: "The two biggest events in late April and early May, one is the Spring Festival, and the other is the 'Death Cartoonist' incident that shocked the whole country, according to the lecturer, these two things should be related to Qingbai, right?"

Liu Huayang nodded, motioned for her to sit down, and then said: "He participated in the Spring Festival in April, and the Vocaloid was a great success, and the V family was in the newspapers, and it became popular all over the country overnight, but then he met it." The Death Cartoonist' incident, followed by the revelation that Vocaloid had a major loophole, he was a 16-year-old boy, and in my opinion, his understanding of the world during this period was still very superficial, and he had not even formed his own worldview, so the works he created during this period would inevitably bring his own experience. ”

"For him in this period, he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, he is injured when he is alive, even if he is already devastated, there are still people who want to come over and step on this broken body and spit on him twice, and at this time, he has experienced what is a 'sense of existence', which also provides a hotbed for the creation of "Madoka Magical Girl" later. ”

"It's no secret that most writers put more affection into their characters than their parents and friends, and Qingbai is clearly the same, he loves his characters, and even declared himself a 'warrior of love' on Weibo before the broadcast of Madoka Magical Girl. It can be seen that his feelings for the characters in his pen are absolutely beyond imagination. ”

Because of this, his portrayal of Madoka and Xiaoyan is very realistic, their efforts, sacrifices, love and courage will never be wasted, absolutely real, absolutely unforgettable, even under the power of magic, which can create miracles, this reality cannot be erased. ”

Rubbing his nose, Liu Huayang continued: "This drama seems to have a perfect ending, but this is in exchange for the sacrifice of Xiaoyuan and Xiaoyan. ”

"Madoka has become a god, the concept of incarnation no longer exists, and Xiao Yan keeps a secret alone, looking forward to seeing each other one day, and the two of them are definitely not easy to solve. The other three, Kyoko, Sayaka, and Asami, the death trio, can be regarded as the right object to be saved, so this drama is not a happy ending. ”

"In my opinion, this is because once there is a happy ending, it is equivalent to negating the sacrifice of Xiaoyan and Xiaoyuan, so the efforts they made, the hardships they have endured, the blood they have spilled, and the courage to persist will all be in vain. Without these, the emotion brought by this drama will be reduced by at least half. ”

Picking up the water cup and taking a sip, Liu Huayang continued: "Next is the key word. In my opinion, there are three key words in this work, miracle, hope and despair. ”

"Many works praise miracles and praise miracles, but are there really so many miracles in this world?"

Looking at the people in the audience who were thinking like electricity, Liu Huayang said like a cannon: "Miracles, can't be done, can't be done, or the probability of occurrence is so small that it is called a miracle, so miracles in this world do not exist, even if there is, it is not a pie-in-the-sky miracle, it is not a miracle, it is a fantasy." ”

According to the setting of the work, a woman wants to get the fire to resist wild beasts and cold, she made a wish to Kewpie to get the fire, and this fire is a miracle, this miracle is so big that ordinary people can't bear it, for this miracle, she will give everything she has, whether it is the future, the body, or the soul, she has to pay in exchange for a miracle that is only once in her life, this is an equivalent exchange, how much miracle you want to get, you have to pay the same or more price. ”

"In this world, the operation of all things is unimaginable precision for human beings, no matter what the considerations, a single human being in the face of this colorful and splendid world interwoven by hundreds of millions of living beings, is just a small gambler on a huge roulette wheel, the greater the miracle promised, the bigger the bet, and the worse the final payment and loss. ”

"Hope and despair are relatively simple. ”

Liu Huayang selected the fragments of the deterioration of Sayaka's soul gem in episodes 8 and 9 and introduced: "How much hope I have gained, how much despair I have gained. ”

At this time, Qingbai had basically been abandoned by the world, and he experienced despair and hope. ”

"Attacks from the national media, blocking from the top, criticism from the public, contempt from peers, and huge loopholes in the works...... All the pressure is on a 16-year-old boy, it is not easy for him to persevere, think about it from another person, think about it, what he has experienced, if you change someone, you may not be able to bear it, so he has experienced despair that he should not experience at this age. ”

After that, the rise of the bilibili barrage network, the popularity of the live broadcast platform, and the contrarian rise of "Five Centimeters per Second" pulled Qingbai up from the abyss of despair. ”

"Make a wish to Kewpie to seek the power of miracles, and then make up for the price of gaining power, and slowly become a desperate witch, the experience of these magical girls is from hope to despair, and Qingbai is the process of hope-despair-hope, through his experience and combine these two keywords, you can understand the connotation of the work. ”

After saying so much in one breath, Liu Huayang was also a little tired, and looked down at the time, now there were only ten minutes left before the end of class, and he didn't plan to continue grinding.

"The last thing to talk about is the characters. There are six main characters in this play, they are Madoka, Koho, Apricot, Kewpie, Sayaka, and Asami. These people can be combined with the people around Qingbai. ”

"Madoka represents the people behind him who silently support him, Xiaoyan represents the people who have been supervising and urging him, Kyoko is the people who have helped him from outside, Sayaka represents his friends, Basumi should be the one who brought him into the industry, and Kewpie is the newspaper of this world. ”

"Of course, these are my guesses, and the real analysis of the characters still has to be seen in conjunction with the works. ”

"Madoka is a cowardly girl, she longs for miracles, she likes cute things, and then she has her own view of right and wrong, and she has her own commitments, especially in the last episode, the moment she stands up for all magical girls, her character image is completely plump, if you have to describe it, she is probably salvation. ”

"Xiao Yan is a walker who has experienced infinite time, and the meaning of her life is Madoka, to fight for her, to make her happy, she would rather be a villain, even if she is hated. In the eleventh episode, when she fought with the witch to exhaustion and was about to become a witch in the end, this plot portrayed her to the extreme, and the things she experienced in the tenth episode were shown to the audience one by one, which made her the biggest sorrow in the show, so she was probably sad. ”

"Ba Asami,The first magical girl to receive a bento in this show,At the same time, she is also the leader of Apricot and Madoka,In other timelines,She's also the leader of Xiaoyan.,She is a big sister in the play throughout.,Only in the tenth episode she blackened after knowing the truth about the magical girl.,Show something different.,So my definition of her is a mask.。 ”

"Apricot is a tragedy, her wishes were misinterpreted by her family, and she finally met someone like herself, and after recognition, she died in front of her eyes, became a witch, and was occupied by despair, in the ninth episode, her performance clearly tells us that she can't beat the witch, but she is reluctant to hurt her recognized friends, and when she chooses to die with Sayaka, who incarnated as a witch, it moved me as a person who is nearly forty years old, plus the role song of the last two, there are basically no people who are not moved, right? So my definition of her is determination. ”

"Sayaka is a very difficult person to define, she is more like an ordinary person, but it is not easy to define ordinary people, she is Kyosuke Uejo's childhood sweetheart, but she was robbed of her sweetheart by a good friend, her despair, and her wishes turned into despair under various coincidences, and she also became the only magical girl in this drama who incarnated as a witch, holding on to hope and despairing, and finally chose to die...... If I had to define it, it would probably be ordinary. ”

"Kewpie, as a key player who ties the five together, has only one definition, and that is chance. If he hadn't given everyone the opportunity to become magical girls, then they wouldn't have experienced miracles at all, and they wouldn't despair, they would just be ordinary girls who like fantasy, and they would spend their lives ordinary, get married, have children, and die......"

"Dangdangdang......"

The sudden ringing of the bell interrupted Liu Huayang's speech, and the moment he heard the bell, he simply packed up his things. Now is the time when station B is lively, if the lecture is not work, he still needs to rely on this to support his family, he has already expected to stumble.

looked at Liu Huayang, who didn't look back, students, you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless.

"Eh, everyone knows what Lecturer Liu is like, so let's disperse. ”
