Chapter 202: Sumiko's Melancholy

The popularity of "Fullmetal Alchemist" certainly brought another problem, that is, the problem of "Sumiko's Melancholy". What about such a "Sumiko", it can be said that Wen Xun is the product of Wen Xun's brain, although the idea of such a novel is not what Wen Xun saw from a dream, but it is very strange that the people of Kadokawa Bookstore are very interested in such a brain-open, Wen Xun wrote a novel purely for his own coolness, and even cried and shouted to let Wen Xun transfer the publishing rights in Japan to them, and even this Kadokawa Bookstore also negotiated with Wen Xun, if the sales performance is up to standard, then it will make the animation of "Sumiko's Melancholy", And as Wen Xun requested, each episode has a different opening and ending animation.

Wen Xun is actually a little looking forward to such a thing, but because he has been busy with "Steel Forge" before, he doesn't have much time to deal with such a new book. Now that "Fullmetal Alchemist" is selling well, Wen Xun finally has time. After he had time, of course, he first had to prepare for such a small story. Originally, when "Steel Chain" decided to make an animated film, his "Sumiko's Melancholy" actually just wrote something that was considered an outline, and in fact, he didn't even decide on the character or anything. Now after the broadcast of "Steel Chain" received a very good response, he played around in Japan and relaxed, and then returned to China to get ready to get "Sumiko's Melancholy".

Such a "Sumiko's Melancholy" is just like what I said before, this is not something that Wen Xun sees from his dreams, but the product of his brain. Originally, he wanted to write a character based on his sister. The results are written and written. Maybe it's because I have been playing with my sister all day since I was a child. Therefore, Jia Hong gradually subconsciously wrote such a character based on his sister more and more off the line, and in the end, he simply became a "female neurosis" existence. Of course, such an evaluation of "female neurosis" must be Wen Rou's evaluation from her standpoint, and from other people's perspectives, such a role is still more interesting. Even if it's crazy, it's the kind of crazy and interesting little wildcat girl.

To write a story about such a girl going crazy, Jia Hongjian once wrote that such a girl would start high school on the first day, and he said that he had no interest in ordinary human beings. If you're only interested in all sorts of superpowers, aliens, and the like. In this case, it definitely looks like such a little girl is crazy, right? And that's not all! In fact, there is really a circle of "aliens" and "superpowers" around her, how funny is this, how nonsensical is such a story, and how brain-opening? It can be said that such a story is a novel that makes Wen Xun feel surprised and makes Wen Xun feel all kinds of surprises. Such a novel that surprises the author may also surprise many fans in Japan? Because this is a kind of anti-logical nonsense funny of Stephen Chow? Who knows, anyway, Kadokawa Bookstore is willing to publish it, why doesn't he Jia Hongjian publish it? He can't afford to worry about whether Kadokawa Bookstore can make a profit, and he's not the owner of Kadokawa Bookstore, right?

It's come at such a time. Wen Xun began to design and write seriously. He began to prepare various character lists, and first finalized the characters' personalities. In such a finalized process. He was also lazy - he chose a more stereotypical way of stereotyping the character, that is, he took a way of first defining the character traits and then enriching them. For example, if you want to set up a female character, it may be to set her personality as a cute character first, and then carry out the specific character design and related experience/family characters or history design work. One of the advantages of this is that it designs products with the factory, so that various "products" can form a "machine sea" strategy, so as to cooperate with each other and improve the purpose of the manufacturer's products for the occupation of consumer layers at all levels of the market.

In fact, generally speaking, there are not many authors who use such a "stereotype" in novels, because from the perspective of traditional literary and artistic creation, although it is convenient and easy to create characters in such a "theme" first way, it is also easy to become characters who are too rigid and do not feel like real people. This is a relatively exclusive practice in the traditional literary and artistic circles of China, Japan, or any other country. According to the previous statement, that is, to summarize typical characters, that is, to find several similar characters to merge, is a kind of character from life, and is a kind of exaltation and typification of such a character from life that exists in real life!

And the process designed by Wen Xun is completely different, a bit like shooting first and then drawing a target. On the surface, such an approach certainly does not conform to the theory of literary and artistic creation, but who said that literary and artistic creation must conform to the theory of literary and artistic creation? What customs and customs does Stephen Chow's movies reflect, and what profound truths do they reflect? No, it's just a funny thing, it's an entertainment that everyone seems to be fun, why should it be so real and serious? In the 6070s, Hollywood was still influenced by the leftists and reflected reality in various ways, but in the late 70s, didn't it also begin to slowly become illusory and romanticized, and began to slowly disconnect from reality and shoot some imaginary things? Their protagonists are designed or something, is it how to refine the typical characters? Not at all! They're more of a commercial design as well!

For example, some Hollywood blockbusters, they also design the image of the protagonist from the commercial level or the aspect that is most acceptable to consumers. For example, those tough guy protagonists like Arnold and Sylvester Stallone, is it true that there are such tough guys everywhere in the world? Neither can it! Can't you move a policeman or a firefighter or something, just all kinds of tough guys? Could it be that the protagonist in "True Lies", who is ostensibly a salesman but is actually an agent, is real? Is it from life and then art uplifted? Not really! So we're just doing this for entertainment, so what's the matter? When we created it, we knew that such a character was likely to not exist in the world, and at the same time, consumers also knew that such a character was likely to not exist in the world after reading it, but we couldn't write it?

For example, the character of Yuki Nagato was designed by Wen Xun as a "three-no girl" - no mouth, no heart, and no expression. Silence means that you don't speak at all, and even if you speak, you use the least number of words to express what you want to say. Heartlessness does not mean that there is no heart, but that the inner feelings are invisible. And expressionless, that is, all day long, poker face, joy and anger are invisible, people can't help their emotions, and even feel that this person is cold to everything in the world. Such a character was made, in fact, Wen Xun designed her as an alien character, she was also a robot made by aliens, and she was sent to study human society! And in this case, wouldn't it be just right for the heroine Sumiko to have aliens or superpowers around her one by one? How interesting is that!

Soon, after designing the origins of the characters, Wen Xun was ready to write the story according to the outline. However, after starting to write a chapter or two of the story, Wen Xun suddenly had a new idea. What's new? So why do we write stories in a linear chronological order of story development? After many of the films on other people's movies have been edited, the chronological order has been disrupted! Of course, if the general movie is done like this, it will be more in the style of an art film, and it will be a bit of a challenge to the audience's IQ. Although theoretically speaking, Wen Xun's novel itself seems to be mainly for entertainment, as if it should not be combined with this feeling of challenging the audience's IQ. It's like Stephen Chow's movies don't have all kinds of disrupted timelines for editing, and they don't engage in all kinds of artistic narratives!

Such a famous Stephen Chow's films, they are all branded with his strong personal style. In his films, the stories are basically flat and straightforward, except for films like "Journey to the West", where the timeline has been adjusted a little, the other films are basically honestly telling stories in chronological order. And "Journey to the West" was a big death in Hong Kong and Hong Kong, and the box office was an ugly mess, that is, it was later transmitted to the mainland, and it was evaluated very highly by a group of college students in the mainland, which suddenly became popular in the mainland. And except for such a special case of films, Stephen Chow honestly tells stories in order, does this mean that this kind of nonsensical thing is better to honestly follow the chronological order?

But the problem is that Wen Xun just wants to make a story that messes up the chronological order! His previous stories were written in the category of honestly telling stories in chronological order, and now he is happy to be able to play them once. Originally, such a novel, we Wen Xun is not to make money, we are to make ourselves happy! Is it because Kadokawa Bookstore is optimistic now, so we have to follow the market? So are we going to be bosses or are we trying to be money? (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
