Scripter Xuan Xuyuan can be used to describe his forward momentum as "unstoppable" in recent years. Popular works such as "Madoka Magi" (2011) and "The Psychometrician" (2012) continue to appear in front of our eyes, and the recently released "Paradise Chase" shows us his royal side. Lao Xu's fans also enthusiastically support this expert who is active in the animation and special effects drama industry at the same time, and even Lao Xu has become a phenomenal existence, so much so that as long as the three big characters "Xuyuan Xuan" appear in a work, it seems that every qiē has something to do with him. However, Xuan Xuyuan is just an ordinary person after all, and in the face of the current situation, he also seems to have some unpleasant thoughts. Recently, some Japanese media have paid attention to this.

In an interview with the magazine "NEWTYPE" (December 2014 issue), Gen Kubuchi expressed some of his opinions.

"Animation isn't something that can be made by one person, so if you think that all the parts you see that move people's hearts are made by the name 'Void Abyss', then what should people who really put their heart and soul into the work think?"

"I feel that it is usually the director who is on the cusp. So whether a character is popular or not is not something I can control. I don't know why scripters are getting so much attention. In any case, in the end, it is the director who is responsible, and our job as a scripter is only to provide a series of opinions for the animation drawn by the director. ”

It seems that some people would think that this is just a modest expression, but it is not. Gen Hibuchi expressed his doubts about the phenomenon that "the work of a scriptwriter is equated with the entire animation work".

In an interview, Gen Xubuchi also mentioned the "motivation" and "goals" contained in the work he was responsible for the script. However, he denied that these settings were new or original, and denied his own authorship.

For example, the work that made him a well-known scriptwriter in one fell swoop was "Madoka Magical Girl ☆ Magic". This work tells the "battle" of the magical girls, and the "melancholy unfolds" of the tragic death of the main characters at the beginning of the story. "Three episodes to turn around" has now become common knowledge for many people. Many people think that this setting is unprecedented and highly praised, but Xuyuan Xuan thinks that this is not the case:

"For example, there are only works where girls fight, and there have been animations like "Magical Girl Naye" before. So it's not that "Madoka Magical Magic" is something new. And the misfortune of a magical girl or something,It's a natural theme in the previous Gongkou game industry.。 ”

He likened Madoka's popularity to "the traditional cuisine of the countryside brought to the big city, and it became an instant hit." Indeed, when "Madoka Magical Magic" first aired, there was a debate between different otaku genres about the novelty of the work. In fact, as the "culprit", Xuan Xuyuan just added these elements to the work. This kind of approach of looking at problems from an objective perspective can be said to be the characteristic of the old void.

At the end of the day, the script doesn't make it directly visible to the audience. For this reason, it is not very easy to evaluate the scripter. In fact, when asked, "How is an animation script different from a game script?" At that time, Xuyuan Xuan replied:

"It's completely different. It's like a novel-type game.,Almost half of the plot is the same as reading a novel.,So the hard work is closer to that of a writer.。 The text will be displayed directly in front of the player, so be aware of the need to "make our text expressive". As for the animation script, it is important that the director and the performers understand the intent, and the audience will not read it. If you have to say it, maybe the voice actors will take a look, but this is also translated into a completely different thing through the acting skills of the voice actors. To put it bluntly, it's just a blueprint. ”

In addition, when talking about "Psychometric", Lao Xu also said that the "Future Police" genre has previously had "Ghost in the Shell" and "Mobile Police". To distinguish himself from these works, he also referred to the work of Philip Dick. When recognizing the importance of making similar works, it is also necessary to be very aware of the position occupied by the works you create. I'm afraid that this kind of calm perspective that separates himself from his character as a writer is precisely the reason why Xuan Xuyuan was able to succeed.

However, at the same time, fans' evaluation of Xuyuan Xuan is very different from his own thoughts. And this is probably also caused by social media such as Twitter on the Internet.

In fact, in the special album of "Paradise Chasing", Xuan Xuyuan also expressed his opinions when talking about online speech. When asked about the changes in the information environment in the past 15 years, Lao Xuan first said, "From the perspective of the times, it has suddenly become negative." Then he also made this testimonial:

"What is the so-called 'from now on, thanks to the Internet, everyone will be able to become friends'. For example, when our generation goes to society, it can still be regarded as a kind of rose**, so it is relatively naïve. But I didn't expect that now because of the relationship between the Internet, before people love and care for each other, they have long been torn apart because of prejudice and hatred. This is something we didn't expect, and it's a very sad result. ”

In addition, when "Madoka Magi☆ Magic" was launched, it also happened to be the stage of Twitter's widespread popularity. In this regard, Lao Xu believes: "Unconsciously, Twitter has become a very scary medium. It's getting hard to use day after day. When the festive commotion on the Internet becomes mainstream, it becomes difficult for us to find the information we want. I think there's a terrible phenomenon on the internet right now, which is that even a lie can cause a festive commotion, and people think it's okay. ”

"Once this phenomenon becomes common sense, then we can't just talk about it. After all, this is a world where I don't know how people will attack it, which is the so-called speech restriction. ”

In the cyberpunk-style sci-fi work "Paradise Chase", the computer world "Diffa" grasps the key to the story. And Tong Guò's work may also reflect a disappointment of Xuyuan Xuan with the Internet, right? Of course, even if he threw this question to Xuan Yuanxuan, his answer might just be "You're thinking too much......
