Chapter 176: Overlooking the Scenery (I)
"While it's interesting to be able to see the whole process of a story from the beginning to the end of the story, there's something to be lost in that position...... For example, the freshness and expectation of the picture. ”
From this point of view, the people who make the story are not only faced with "spoilers", and the animation does not have a relatively wide editing space like other images, so if you only use the "marginal effect" of the film itself, there is no need for people like Miyadai to enter the theater again.
However, his concerns could not be limited to the story, and in fact he came.
"The Realm of Emptiness" is composed of seven independent and connected stories, and in a word, the overall style can be described as "the daily battle of the ability system". In a separate chapter, the realm of emptiness can indeed tell an independent story with a beginning and an end, but this story carries with it a sense of ambiguity that is difficult to peek into the essence - although those incredible murders have been solved, what is the reason for the killings?
The motivation of the "murderer" requires the audience to understand a certain amount of thinking, and these thoughts cannot be completed at one time, it is hidden in the whole story.
"So according to this statement, the viewing experience of the audience who knows nothing about the original work will be more than that of those who have read the original work?" Mai Iwami said that she was also the one who had seen the original film many times before the screening, but her job responsibilities prompted her to come to the scene to see it.
Fortunately, although the "Overlook" screening is small, Kyoto still has a screen that is a "local product" that is shown on time, so they don't have to travel far to see the films they have already seen.
"Specifically, down to the realm of emptiness, I really think so." Unexpectedly, Gong Daiyu really nodded and said...... Of course, this is a completely subjective statement, and those who have studied the original work naturally have a deeper understanding of the story and the film, and in the same way, people who really see the story for the first time are often more likely to have a sense of amazement.
In general, although TYPE-MOON is the popular support of the empty realm, not all the people who come to watch the movie are Moon Kitchens, and the Moon Kitchens may not have seen the original, and the Moon Kitchens who have seen the original work may not necessarily come to see the movie......
Gong Daiju hopes that the audience who has watched the film can be satisfied and satisfied, although this "small wish" is a bit too exaggerated.
"Although the screening time was cold and the scope of publicity was narrow due to the scale, I really didn't expect all the screenings to maintain 100% attendance for three days...... The expectations of the fans are real. The senior sister seems to be lamenting the "combat effectiveness" of TM fans.
"It also shows that some of Aniplex's work is in place." Miyadai added that the significance of AX's participation should also be recognized, and they are coordinating the work such as publicity and release.
It has been three days since the initial release, and although in the mass media and pan-entertainment publicity, it is basically rare to see the large-scale publicity of the empty realm, but it has always maintained the record of full houses...... Of course, this has to do with the comparison between the fan base and the size of the screening, with only eight screens in the entire island country, and even if it stays full, it won't be a "miracle".
After all, the reasonableness is quite easy to explain.
Correspondingly, if it is a "big production" with a release scale of 300 pieces, no matter how big it is, it is impossible to maintain this kind of attendance...... It is the "niche" theatrical version of the animation that is screened on a small scale and does not expect to recover the cost at the box office that can do this kind of thing.
While chatting, the two walked into the theater while checking their tickets...... Because of the scale of the screening, tickets overlooking the scenery are naturally quite difficult to buy, but Miyadai and Iwami Mai don't have to worry about buying tickets after all.
After entering the theater, a hint of coolness will isolate the heat of the summer night outside, this coolness is certainly not caused by the atmosphere of the empty realm, but a great invention called central air conditioning is working...... Although the story of the Empty Realm is indeed quite cool.
In the slightly dim light, Gong Daizu quickly found the two seats, and after taking a seat, he waited for the opening of the film, and when he left the scene for ten minutes, he glanced around roughly and found that it was indeed full...... The position of the two is only in the back row, which is more convenient to count the number of people.
Miyadai just wanted to tilt his head to say that this was a scene that the producer was happy to see, but the film had already begun.
In terms of story order, the chapter "Overlooking the View" should take place after the "residual pain", but this is not a problem, in fact, even in the chapter Overlooking the View, there are some "inconsistencies" in the chronological order of the story.
The story of the Empty Realm revolves around a magical association and a "supernatural" case called "Jialan-no-do", and the story is set in a city called "Kanbuzi City...... It is based on a certain city in Tokyo, and the city of Kanbuko in the story is also located in Tokyo.
There are three members of the Jialan Hall, the heroine has two ceremonies, the male protagonist Kuroki Kanya and the clue of the story, the owner of the Jialan Hall, the magician and the puppet made by the Aozaki orange.
But the first scene of the story takes place not in the magic workshop, but in the home of the two ceremonies...... At the beginning of August '98, one evening, Kurotongan also visited the residence of the two ceremonies with a certain issue of the magazine and a box of Häagen-Dazs.
And this simple room, too, is shown through the perspective of two people - a bed, a refrigerator, a telephone on the floor, and that's it.
It doesn't look like a girl's room at all, but like a doll's house...... To a considerable extent, this is to explain the heroine's character at the beginning, she is indeed "cold" and emotionless like a puppet.
However, in the overlooking landscape, the motivation for the two rituals to act is to reclaim Kuroki's consciousness or soul from the hands of another "lady...... The basis is a rather lame "first come, first served" principle.
Whoever discovers first has ownership...... There is sometimes nothing wrong with this assertion.
According to the original author's definition of the work, this is still a "boy meets girl" story...... Although he has many other definitions.
