Chapter 167: The smile of the Three Goddesses

Xu Qingru's various brain-opening settings about "EVA" certainly deeply attracted the old two-dimensional people of the "Love Travel" company, so they are full of passion for the perfect production of this animation.

And when this project was announced, the two-dimensional fans who were fans of her because of "Madoka Magical Girl" were of course full of expectations for this animation!

"It's an anime about mechas.,It's so feeling.,I like this theme so much!"

"Seriously, compared to the magical girl theme, it feels like a mecha is a man's romance!"

"Nonsense! Mecha are all weak chickens, and macho men love to watch magical girls! ”

"Xu Qingru's brain hole, I definitely recognize it, I just hope that this "EVA" will not be as depressing as "Madoka Magical Girl" ......"

"Probably not.,Mecha-themed anime.,It's definitely cool.,It's over watching the bloody battle!"

"That's right, Xu Qingru still understands Shuangwen very well, after all, she is in charge of the original "Shooting the Condor", which is quite cool, and she can look forward to "EVA" first-hand."

……

After all, Xu Qingru's screenwriting ability has been vividly demonstrated through the previous "Magical Girl Madoka", and then the popular "Condor" comic once again proved her talent, of course, everyone is looking forward to her next animated work.

But obviously, those who guess that "EVA" is a "cool text" will definitely be pitted, it is not a cool text, the setting of the male protagonist can be twisted, and all kinds of playing literature and art, playing stream of consciousness, is quite in line with Xu Qingru's "literary girl" character design.

This time, the promotional resources of "EVA" are also full, mainly the animation of "Madoka Magical Girl", which really made a lot of money for "Aiyou", and also exercised the animation production team, so everyone is actually more confident in "EVA".

Around the end of June, the promotional warm-up of "EVA" reached its peak, and its theme song "Cruel Angel's Action Plan" was first released, which is clearly the promotional MV for this anime.

Xu Qingru sang this classic anime comedy in person, and then I don't know how many ACG lovers she has captured, everyone is already clamoring for her to go to the music festival or hold a concert directly.

When the time comes, she will definitely be able to see how neat and uniform the actions of these supporting otaku will be, and how much she will be loved by them!

The effect achieved by the promotional MV obviously exceeded the expectations of the "Aiyou" company, but they also had to sigh that Xu Qingru was a real cow critic, and the music and painting were unique!

After that, "EVA" was broadcast on time as a "new episode in July", and it began with -

In 2015 AD, a giant humanoid creature appeared in the world. The UN forces dispatched, referring to the creature as the "Apostle", attacked it violently, but all failed. Even the most powerful N2 bomb only slowed down the apostle for a short time.

At the same time, a teenager named Shinji Ikari receives a letter from his father who has been absent for ten years, and is summoned by his father Gendu to the NERV headquarters underground in the third new Tokyo city.

Faced with his son, who he hadn't seen for a long time, all Commander Ikari said was: "Get on EVA." ”

Shinji refuses to accept orders, but he changes his mind when he sees a badly wounded girl about to attack on the first plane.

Without special training, Shinji and EVA were able to synchronize with the Apostles. The first plane, which confronted the Third Apostle after launch, stopped its activities after being attacked by the Apostle on the head because Shinji was unfamiliar with the operation and had no actual combat experience.

After Shinji fell unconscious, the first machine miraculously reactivated, and in a state of loss of control, he defeated the apostle with overwhelming combat power.

Faced with the indifferent attitude of father and son, Misato Katsuragi asks Shinji to live with her. Misato praised Shinji's achievements in battle, but Shinji wished that the words came from someone else.

This is the content of the first two words, in these two words, in fact, there are many places that make readers feel extremely exciting, first of all, the setting of the third apostle water angel who attacked, which can be described as extremely exciting, and all aspects make people feel very imaginative.

The second is the description of the underground cavity of the third new Tokyo City, the first EVA machine, and the force field, which are amazing.

And the animation uses a lot of special effects that are comparable to movie blockbusters, the effect is quite explosive, the whole animation is gorgeous and exquisite, Xu Qingru has brought her best painting style to the extreme!

Compared with the first two episodes of "Madoka Magical Girl", the first two episodes of "EVA" detonated a climax in the plot, that is, the rampage counterattack of the first machine!

Xu Qingru's version of "EVA" was originally based on the original animation, but she made the picture more exquisite, tall, and the characters more beautiful, and the rest of the place did not change much, and the work also used a strong stream of consciousness technique, a large number of religious and philosophical imagery, full of forced style.

Even the title of each episode has a Chinese main title and English subtitle, for example, the subtitle of Episode 4 is Hedgehog's_Dilemma, Hedgehog means hedgehog, and Dilemma means dilemma. The implication is that the hedgehog wants to give warmth to its friends, but the closer it gets, the more it hurts others.

In fact, in the third and fourth episodes, the style of stream of consciousness has already been shown.

Shinji's life changed dramatically because he became an EVA driver, but in some ways, he was blamed instead.

Like the protagonists of many dramas who fight for humanity, their existence is instead seen as a threat.

The Fourth Apostle was eliminated by Shinji on his own, but no one would think that he was some kind of passionate savior, on the contrary, his rebellion against his environment out of his negative concept made a deep impression, and I believe that many people feel the same way.

Hoping that others will care, but creating a character that people can't get close to, and their contradictions will evolve into a final one, and they will begin to hate themselves. Running away is only a small manifestation of this mentality.

In the fourth episode, in order to describe Shinji's emptiness, the background changes from the city to the natural scene, and that technique is called a literary abstraction.

Viewers who have watched "Magical Girl Madoka" before should feel cordial, and call this technique too right, and sure enough, it is Xu Qingru's style!

However, the stream of consciousness is the stream of consciousness, if you don't delve into the various symbolic meanings, if you just regard it as a sci-fi special effects animated blockbuster of "Ultraman fights little monsters", you can actually watch it very high, anyway, it's EVA beating the apostle.

In the fifth episode, the depiction of Ayanami Li left the audience with a full sense of suspense and expectation, after all, she has no mouth, no heart and no expression, and her appearance is as delicate as a doll, everything about her seems to be a mystery.

Just by looking at the first five episodes, you can find that in fact, "EVA" is a work with a lot of highlights, but those readers who like to watch strong protagonists will be very unhappy with all kinds of tangled and cowardly Shinji Ikari, while the other part is the opposite, they like that kind of delicate psychological changes, expecting the cowardly Shinji Ikari to become strong in the end.

The focus is on the growth of the protagonist!

Zhang Ye, as Xu Qingru's classmate and a loyal fan of "Shooting the Condor", of course he went to watch this animation after the broadcast of "EVA".

First of all, he thought that the theme song of this anime, "Cruel Angel's Action Plan", was so good!

Next, just the first words of the beginning of this animation, he was attracted by the novel world of various sci-fi settings constructed by Xu Qingru.

He was amazed by her imagination and immediately became intrigued by the anime.

Like the previous "Magical Girl Madoka", he only read the first episode, and then abandoned the pit, it's too boring, I don't have the patience to see the back, even if it explodes later because of its popularity, all kinds of stalks are out of the circle, and he is not interested in tasting it again.

Zhang Ye didn't pay attention to the metaphors in the details of this "EVA" at all, he felt that the storyline was quite simple and easy to understand, and the characters were very beautiful, which made him feel very comfortable watching it.

There's a slight flaw.,It's that the male owner is too cowardly.,If he enters the animation to drive EVA instead of the male owner.,It's definitely not a word.,How can you be like the male owner's mother-in-law?

Zhang Ye really still prefers Guo Jing, the protagonist of Xu Qingru's "Shooting the Condor", that is an iron-blooded real man!

After the animation plot unfolded, the violent counterattack of the first machine also made him feel mentally shocked, and he found that the grand battle between this kind of large robots was much more bloody than the fight between two martial arts masters!

For some reason, a sentence appeared in Zhang Ye's brain - mecha is a man's romance!

There are battle scenes in the first three words, Zhang Ye is very happy, he is completely fascinated by EVA things that look like large robots, and he said that if there is such a figure when, he will definitely buy it and collect it.

With these three words, he decided to chase this animation!

But the fourth word made him frown wildly - Xu Qingru's stream of consciousness and strong literary style really appeared, this kind of trick that uses a whole sentence to describe the inner changes of the male protagonist, and only Xu Qingru can play it, anyway, he doesn't like this word, and he also hates all kinds of stream-of-consciousness techniques, of course, what he hates the most is the male protagonist's cowardly escape!

But Zhang Ye didn't know that he didn't like this sentence, but there were other people who liked it, they felt that Xu Qingru's use of this kind of stream-of-consciousness picture in the animation was a huge innovation, and the use of various imagery to depict the psychological changes of the male protagonist was also particularly compelling.

In the fifth episode, there was one place that made him excited all of a sudden, that is, Xu Qingru actually played the classic scene in the harem manga, that is, the male protagonist was driven by the will of the universe and reaped the benefits from Ayanami Li......

At this time, Zhang Ye finally really became interested in this animation, and it was because of the role of Rei Ayaami!

In fact, Ayanami Rei had already appeared in the front, but because he didn't appear much, he didn't pay too much attention to it, and in this fifth episode, he felt that Ayanami Rei's image was plump up all of a sudden, this is a female character set to be very extreme - no mouth, no heart and no expression, not like a girl in reality at all.

But he was fascinated by this blue-haired, red-eyed, expressionless, delicate and beautiful girl like a doll, and he really understood what the cuteness of "three nos" was!

And the role of Rei Ayanami made him completely fall, but it was in the sixth episode that just aired!

The sixth episode has a battle plot that he likes, this one revolves around the offensive and defensive battle against the fifth apostle, and it is the word of the "Yang Electric Cannon" debut, of course, the battle is very exciting, especially the zero machine piloted by Ayanami Rei is finally dispatched!

The user of the "Yang Electron Cannon" is Shinji Ikari, Rei Ayanami pilots the Zero machine to carry out a defensive mission, and the two beams of heat energy from the Apostle plus the particle cannon and the Yang Electron Cannon fly by staggered, and the Apostle is shot down, and Rei Ayanami blocks in front of Shinji Ikari.

At the end of the anime, there is such a plot -

After Shinji Ikari rescues Rei Ayanami from the melted machine zero, Rei Ayanami says, "I'm sorry, I don't know what kind of expression to use to face you at this moment. ”

Shinji Ikari responded, "Just smile." ”

Then Rei Ayana, who had been expressionless, was surprised at first, and then, she bloomed with a very faint smile, which is an incomparable goddess smile.

The goddess Ayanami Rei of the three noes smiled, what kind of contrast is that?

At least Zhang Ye was deeply touched at this moment, Ayanami Rei's previous protection regardless of danger, and the faint smile at this time made him extremely moved!

"Rei Ayanami's smile" has naturally become one of the most classic scenes in the entire anime!

Rei Ayanami is in the earth world, but she is the ancestor of the "Three No Girls", and has a profound influence on the later ACG world.

She has an extraordinary indifference and calmness, and her personality is not much but straightforward. She is a girl as beautiful as ice and snow, silent and silent, far away from the crowd, no one can guess her thoughts. Her smile has become a symbol. Many people say that Rei Ayanami is the most ruthless heroine in the history of animation, with no emotion and cold as ice, which is really ruthless to the extreme.

Rei Ayaami's biggest personality may be that she barely shows the slightest expression in her expression - the famous Lingbo Rei's smile, that is, such a smile creates the rich feelings of this character.

Ayanami Rei, who was born in nothing, fought for the bond between the father and son of the Ikari family that he didn't understand, and abandoned his life for this unnamed bond, which can be described as divine. And it is this persistence that has forged the hearts of people that she does not have.

Rei Ayanami is the new third form of loneliness: desocial and detached from the material world, and she is more extreme than the solitary form of post-World War II refugee existence. In this sense, Rei Ayanami is an international character, a three-nil girl.

Rei Ayanami is no longer just the heroine of "EVA", she has set the benchmark for female characters in the entire anime industry, she is a legend in the ACG world, a myth that can almost never be surpassed, and a super popular idol who has been the No.1 in many years of anime character surveys in Japan with less than three lines of dialogue per episode since her birth. No single female character can truly take her place.

Rei Ayana's smile is naturally regarded as the most classic picture in "EVA".

Of course, Xu Qingru understands the charm of the goddess's smile, so she also put a lot of effort into instructing the animation production team to portray this scene, and she spent a lot of thought on this scene, because she didn't want to desecrate the classics, she just wanted to make the classics more classic!

So with the joint efforts of Xu Qingru and the production staff, the "smile of the goddess Ayanami" in the sixth episode conquered almost all the viewers who watched this episode!

The comment area below this sentence was completely detonated by the smile of the three-no goddess!
