Chapter Ninety-Four: EVA Broadcasting in Progress (Part I)
"The program of action of the cruel angels,
And you will fly by the window,
Burst out of the scorching pathos,
If this plan betrays your memory,
Embrace the splendor of the universe,
Boy, become a myth......"
EVA's new promotional PV made with ODA's character was soon broadcast on TV Tokyo, and the song "Cruel Angel's Action Plan" performed by ODA NOBUNA quickly became popular. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Or rather, it quickly became popular.
This kind of popularity is different from the previous "please give me wings" and "don't admit defeat", because of the difference in music style and connotation and other factors, the former is widely spread among the whole people because of the Hanshin earthquake, and it is a song that can be sung by the whole people, and it is the most widely sung, while the target audience of the latter is young people, and the scope of communication has been reduced, while the popularity and popularity are actually wider.
And the third song's Cruel Angel Action Plan is a hit among anime fans, targeting a smaller and more accurate target group.
In the final analysis, although ODA is a virtual idol group with anime images, in fact, their first two songs are actually not related to "anime" at all.
And the Cruel Angel Action Plan, this song is the animation track that is really created for animation, and the rhythm and lyrics are tightly tied to what the animation wants to express and express.
The difference between this can be roughly felt by people who are not in the field of music.
At the very least, as an animated OP all the time, it is powerfully adapted to the duration of the OP, and the things that should be expressed must be expressed within 1 minute and 30 seconds, not 4 minutes like ordinary songs.
That is, to show the content of an entire song in the so-called TV, size.
The role of ODA and NOBUNA in the promotion of EVA is positive and obvious.
To put it simply, if the G company felt that the copyright fee they paid for it was too painful, now they may have felt that it is worth the money or the value for money.
It's not self-consolation, it's a de facto value for money, and in just one week, the popularity of EVA has grown exponentially.
A lot of anime information magazines,Don't take the initiative to look for it from the G agency.,Because of the existence of ODA, they take the initiative to report on the new EVA.γ
In fact, this PV is compared to EVA's op.,Basically, there's nothing remarkable about it.,It's nothing more than focusing on portraying the characters.,Highlight the body of EVA.,Plus a little bit of two operation scenes and the scene where Asuka and Ayanami Rei drive EVA to fight the Apostle.γ
Of course, many of the footage in this 4-minute PV was cut directly from the TV, especially the battle with the Apostles...... The reason is very simple.,It's just to save money.,G Society won't go to make battle pictures specifically for PV.γ
One is that PV is in a hurry, they don't have so much time to craft, and the other is that their funds are really tight.
As for the four characters of ODA, they are basically "bystanders" in the PV, in fact, they are the singers of the song, but the protagonists of the PV story are Rei Ayanami and Asuka, ODA is just showing their faces, even if they are promoted in order to continue their fame, resulting in a lot of such appearances, they cannot become the protagonists.
After all, they are not plot characters, of course, there is a sense of logical separation from the story and the picture.
As for the professionalism of the song singing...... Well, there's no way to care too much about this, because ODA is just an idol group, and you can't pursue singing skills too much.
And the singing can't be said to be bad.,And in fact, what's inexplicable is that no matter how good or bad the singing is.,ODA is liked by anime otaku.,This kind of publicity is effective.γ
The song is naturally very good, and it is a song that can be sung for 20 years, and this song is sung from Yoko Takahashi to Kikuko Inoue, Eimiri Kato, Aika Yoshioka, Hatsune Miku, Katsura Daisy, ......
Now let's start with an ODA NOBUNA.
The effect of ODA can be seen from the popularity of posts on the ACGN forum, and in the past, there were not no posts about EVA in the forum, but at first glance, there were a lot of replies to such posts, but the actual number of people who participated in the replies was very limited, and only a small number of loyal fans of EVA conducted in-depth analysis of the work.
And it is precisely because of their "professionalism" that ordinary readers will quickly retreat even if they click on the post.
If it is too profound, it will make the general reader lose interest, and repeatedly argue about certain details, which will make people feel that this is an over-interpretation.
But now the topic of EVA is starting to gradually rise, and it not only suppresses the topic of other shonen manga, but also the frequent shoujo manga fans.
After all, this is a work to be animated...... Or this is the ontology is animation.,And this animation is about to play the work.γ
In fact, no matter how this work is interpreted, its essence and core are carried with the strong personal thoughts and impressions of the original director Hideaki Anno, and this strong personal meaning is difficult to fully express for the manga.
Manga and animation are inseparable, but they are not the same form of expression after all.
EVA has been serialized in the weekly Shonen ME for almost 10 months, but it has been tepid, or the word "tepid" is a bit too much, because EVA is tepid and tepid.
Because this is not the story style of shonen manga at all.
In the early 80s and early 90s, especially in the 80s, there was a particularly serious situation in weekly shonen manga, that is, it was almost possible to equate combat manga with shonen manga.
Or if it's not a combat comic, it's not a pure shonen manga.
Like Dragon Ball, Sun Wukong slashed all the way from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road with two watermelon knives in his hands, and overturned Pike Vegeta Frieza Ob all the way to the shonen manga.
On the other hand, EVA, the character setting and the entire story structure are too complex, and the interpretation of the work is obscure, and this kind of stream-of-consciousness work is indeed not suitable for shonen comics.
This has nothing to do with the quality of the work.,It's just related to the theme and the way the story is told.,Works like EVA,In fact, it should be placed on monthly comics.,Even on youth monthly comics.γ
After all, with the comprehension of middle school students, it is difficult to make any in-depth interpretation of a manga, and overly complex works are not within their comprehension.
And animation is different, the animation has a wider range of ratings, the age of the viewers is more spanning, and there are more people who can accept and understand the story, EVA wants to become popular, so it still has to be animated.
It's a very good story in itself.,And there's quality assurance in animation production.,Plus G Society has a detailed business plan.γHibiscus Society's auxiliary bonus.,It's hard to think about this animation if it's not popular.γ
