“Young boss is a primary school student! It was published between 2003 and 2013 with 20 volumes and a cumulative sales volume of over 3 million popular children’s literature. The TV version was completed on September 22nd, and the theatrical version was officially released in Japan on September 21. In June 2018, he was selected at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The animation was officially released and received a high evaluation. .
The supervision of this work is the supervision of paintings of Ghibli works such as “Shen Seiji of Spirited Away”, the original painting of Hiroyuki Hiroshi, and the “Ice of Andalusian Summer” directed by Eggplant and Migratory Birds with Travel Boxes “There is also a very high quality,” young boss is a primary school student! “It is the supervised work of Takahashi Hiroshi after 11 years, and it is the first theatrical version.” The script is played by Yoshida Reiko, “The Grace of the Cat”, “Leeds and Jade Birds”, “Girls and Chariots”. .
Unlike the TV animated version, the theatrical version compresses the volume of the original 20 volumes into one, and adds the original chapters that were not in the original, and stuffed into the content that can be enjoyed by both men and women. Before the release of the theatrical version, Anime! Anime! And dmenu interviewed Takashi Hiroshi, and asked about the charm of the work, the difference with the original, and other secrets. .
As we all know, Takahashi Hiroyuki is a full-fledged bicycle enthusiast. The encounter with the original is also strongly recommended by the same bicycle enthusiast, Gu Dong, who is the president of the animation studio DLE. One of the production companies, when planning, Gu Dong hopes to hand over the work to Gao Song. .
Gao Hao thinks that she and her children’s literature are almost missed. What’s more, this is still a work for little girls. It was initially repulsive. However, after picking up the original work, she was deeply attracted by the original worldview and lamented. It is a bestseller.” The first volume of the original book has all kinds of whimsy, “I can put these elements into a work”, and Gao Song was also impressed by the original. .
The most attractive is the background of the hotel as the stage, and in such an essential “hotel management” theme, it is cleverly stuffed into the fantasy elements such as the ghost, the drama and personality The conversation between the passengers is also very interesting, and it can be tempted from time to time. Such a theme is rare today, and the descriptions in the book that can only be reflected by only a little girl make the sorghum feel extraordinarily fresh. There are still many, adults can not do it, and standing on the position of primary school students, can transcend this boundary of dialogue, Gao Song also has a strong interest in such a clever dialogue. .
When you want to adapt the original to an animation, Takahashi naturally thinks that it is very suitable for adaptation into TV animation. At the time, Gu Dong said to Gao Wei, “TV has to be done. I support it there. The film has to be done, but I want to ask you to do supervision.” Since it is a theatrical version, how should I start? The configuration, which is what Gu Dong wants to see. After hearing the words of Gu Dong, Gao Song began to worry. There are 20 volumes in the original work. How can these articles be chosen to string together the whole story? Finally, Gao Song decided to focus on the most subtle part of the original work, namely, the growth of the heroine, the synthesis of the first volume to the 20 volumes. A coherent work. .
The original work rarely involves the important element of “parents’ death”, which is mainly considered by the age of the readers, and as a theatrical work, a movie, its object layer It is much larger than the original work, and there are also many children who watched the original work nowadays have grown up, so Gao Song decided to use this element as the entrance to the film, and will overcome the story of the death of the parents into the story of the growth of the protagonist Xiaozhi. Ring. .
Speaking of the charm of the original work, it is the great responsibility of the innocent little weaving. How to put the painful past of the parents to the drama, the balance is extremely difficult to master. At the screening meeting, Gao Song was worried about whether the original readers would put forward the protest that “this feeling is too much worse than the original?”, but he heard that he heard almost the impression that “the impression of the original is not damaged”. . Gao Hao also laughed at himself. Maybe he heard all the words. After all, I can’t say bad things in front of myself.
Gao Wei said that the adaptation of the TV series should be more faithful. After all, the charm of the original chapter should be expressed only through the TV series. As a movie, it can only focus on the growth. To write a story about the growth of Xiaozhi, we must pay attention to the relationship between Xiaozhi and others. What is visible to the naked eye is the change of the environment. From Xiaozhi, I left the familiar metropolis and went to the hot spring street in the countryside to express her growth through the small weaving in the eyes of the guests, grandmothers and other people in the store. .
In the design of the character, Gao Wei said that it is mainly to restore the original illustration of Yashamei. But after all, the original work has been 15 years, and the style of Yashamei is constantly changing, so the style of animation will be as close as possible to the style of the second half of the original. Although the stage is a hot spring street that keeps the past, the era has changed to modern in order to cater to today’s audience. For example, taxis and cars that travel in Hot Springs Street have been converted into electric cars, and the sound of the engine is not heard. Of course, the exhaust pipe is not visible. There is also a hidden setting. This hot spring street has achieved self-sufficiency to some extent, with geothermal power generation, and can also grow vegetables and livestock on the plateau in the mountains. Therefore, hot springs have also been established as a tourist resource. .
This hot spring street is based on the Ma Hot Spring in the original work of the teacher, and the sorghum is also taken to the Arima Hot Springs. However, it was found that there was no identical prototype except for the terrain. After all, the original setting is actually near Izu, and the prototype of Arima Onsen is because I can see the sea there. .
“Spring House” is also a prototype in reality. It is a hotel in Kyoto with a long history. The young bosses there are good at the tea ceremony, and they are even more fascinating. Gao Song went to the store to take the materials, but unfortunately because of the rush of time, I could not stay there for one night and returned to Tokyo that day. When they went back, the proprietress also personally gave them gifts, and they were packed in small bags according to people’s points. Gao Wei also noticed that when she sprinkled water, in order to prevent the shoelaces from being splashed by water, they also tied the laces one by one. .
Gao Wei also heard that this hotel has also received high praise from Miyazaki. Hayao Miyazaki took the “Fengfeng” when he went to the hotel with Pixar’s John Lasseter. Because of not being used to sitting cross-legged, Lasseter also put his feet straight up when he was eating. At this time, the boss gave him a towel to cover it. This move moved to Lasseter. I heard that the sorghum of this matter also felt that there was no way to go. .
In addition, there is a hotel called “Entertainment First” on the Noto Peninsula, where the boss has written several books. In the play, the Yinji meal of Kanda (in order to pray for the peace of mind, the meal for the left-behind people) is based on the book written by the proprietress. .
When drafting the composition, Gao Song also cares about some details. For example, when he can’t step on the edge of the tatami and enter the room, the hips can’t face the recess and greet the guests. In addition, the tatami before the recess cannot be at right angles to each other. Since she couldn’t face the guests at the time of the ceremony, when the first small weaving of the guests in the play, the sale would tell her “Fast off!” In order not to step on the edge of the tatami, so take it in the play. It is also a policy of walking 3 steps horizontally and 5 to 6 steps vertically. .
In the painting of the kimono, Gao Song said that he painted more when he was in the Wind, so he got used to it, but the sleeves were still difficult to draw. For example, when the sleeves are rolled up, the hem (hem) is folded. Because the position and shape of the waist are different, the folding method is different. Sometimes the waist looks too long. In short, it is difficult to paint. . .
Speaking of Hayao Miyazaki, in fact, the “Augment of Andalusian Summer” was also handed down by Miyazaki Hayao to Takashi Hiroshi. “Read and read, read it and help me!” Only let him start the heart of making animations. Although Hayao Miyazaki is a benefactor of Gao Song, he is also a negative teacher in Gao Yan’s eyes. .
When doing “The Summer of Eggplant Andalusia”, the title of Gaochun was written on the “first disciple” supervised by Miyazaki. Gao Hao responded himself, but this is not the case. I am not at all.” The first big disciple.” Gao Wei explained that Ghibli Studio does not have an apprenticeship system. Ghibli is essentially a company that makes films for Hayao Miyazaki, so Miyazaki is the “king” of Ghibli.
Hayao Miyazaki said, “I want to listen to some people’s opinions and then make films.” In fact, there are very few people who can give him advise. “After all, everyone is afraid that they can’t open their mouths.”
“Miyazaki said yes, but I don’t think it is right. Although he will take the initiative to say ‘welcome everyone’s rebuttal’, he will definitely ask you, ‘That’s a better idea.’ Let everyone be afraid. Even if there is no good idea, let’s take a look at it, and there are still too few people who can speak in front of him.
Finally, Gao Wei believes that the world today is in a period of great turning. It is precisely because the world has changed so rapidly that it will take a breath to see a work like this. In addition, the characters headed by Xiaozhi have completely followed the original style of painting, which is very cute. I hope that everyone can notice the activity of Xiaozhi, which can only be shown by animation. .
