The latest original theater animation supervised by Yuasa Masahiro, “If you can ride with you on the waves”, was officially released in Japan on June 21st. It was also used as a screening film at the Shanghai International Film Festival a few days ago. It’s already sneak peek. It is the second collaboration between Yoshida Reiko who had previously cooperated with Yuasa and “The Song of Dew of Declaring Dawn”
The 2nd words of the OVA “Girls and Chariots Final Chapter” written by Yoshida were also released in Japan on June 15. Speaking of Reiko Yoshida, “Light girl! “Leeds and Jade Birds” “Cat’s Revenge”, theatrical version of “Digital Beast Adventure” “Young boss is a primary school student! “These works are not unfamiliar to everyone. From the original adaptation to the original animation, from animation to real film and television drama, from children-oriented animation to late-night animation, there is almost no type that Yoshida does not participate in. So how does Yoshida Reiko set foot on the path of the scriptwriter? What special care does she have when she writes? Anime! Anime! In the “If you can ride the waves with you”, I interviewed Yoshida and divided it into the back and forth to unveil the creation of Yoshida Reiko
Yoshida has always liked fictional stories like movies, novels, animations, and comics, but she never thought about becoming a scriptwriter during her school days. Yoshida said that he was not confident in his future, like the protagonist of “If you can ride on the waves with you”, you can’t find the way forward, although you like those fictional stories, but if you want Linking them to work, there is no confidence
Yoshida had not rented a videotape store when he was a child, and he almost grew up watching European and American movies on TV. At the time, during the winter vacation and the summer vacation, the NHK Education Channel often made special episodes of European and American movies. Yoshida was very happy at the time, such as Hitchcock’s works, as well as “The Conference is Dancing”, “Dan Feng Yang” and “The Road”. “…they make her remember.” Because at that time, I couldn’t freely choose the movie I wanted to watch, and I could only see what was on the TV, so it was completely influenced by TV. Although novels and comics are also very popular, video works such as movies and animations are more attractive to her
When I arrived at the university, Yoshida did not want to be a scriptwriter. Purely because of this, I went to work in the department of the House of Friends. The editorial department mainly produces practical books, health books and basic science research books. Although there is a small odd jobs, Yoshida still prefers to write manuscripts. I happened to see the recruitment advertisement of the script school in “pia”, so I went there. Yoshida said that he went to the script school, not to be a scriptwriter, but to be able to make friends who like movies
When I was on the script class, Yoshida didn’t think that she could become a professional scripter. It was purely my own curiosity. I was invited by a friend to participate in the “Timecraft” series and “Dragon Ball” series. Lecture of “Animation Script House” hosted by senior scriptwriter Takayama Takayuki. “Because I like movies, the work of writing scripts seems to be very interesting.” With such a mentality, Yoshida began to submit articles under the influence of friends around him. In the “NHK China Four-State Radio Drama Grand Prix”, Yoshida was awarded the “Dynamic Volunteer” for the creation of the Drama Creation Script, and was later officially adapted and broadcast on each FM
Before the official debut of the TV version of Dragon Ball Z as an animator, Yoshida also wrote a radio CD for some animations. Before the work of 2000, Yoshida left the most impressive work as “The Little Prince”. “The Little Prince of the Fight” is an original work. Yoshida participated in this work since the establishment of the plan, not only because it is a project from scratch, but also for the first time that Yoshida participated in the submission of works and radio dramas
“The little prince of the fight”.
As it was the first time to participate in the original plan, in addition to being a mess, there was almost no other impression left, and it was completely in a state of exploration. The series consisting of the original case was handled by the original dog, Belle Bell, and Yoshida learned a lot about the creation of characters and the combination of various elements
Before the script is written, Yoshida will discuss with the supervisors, producers and others to create. However, the scripter first came up with some ideas, otherwise the scene will continue to be silent, which is also the place where the scripter is hard at the starting point. For a general original work, Yoshida first writes the slogan and title of the work, and then simply writes a storyline of about 5 lines. Because it is a brand new work, there is no original work to follow, first of all, we must hang up everyone’s appetite, otherwise the plan will not progress. Then through the slogan, directly penetrate the content of the story. Yoshida believes that the slogan is the pillar of maintaining the concept of a work. After all, animation is different from novels and comics. It is a collective operation. If a person is biased, everyone may follow
“Miao Magic House”.
Tang Yuzheng has participated in the design work of “Miao Magic House” composed of Yoshida’s series of plays. He has always hoped to cooperate with Yoshida. The impression that Yuasa left on Yoshida was also “supervised as a supervised expression of painting.” His mind was filled with images and his paintings also had unique charm. When writing video works, there will be a dynamic picture in Yoshida’s mind. The script, like the design of the house, is the basis of the image. The subsequent decoration, material selection, and paint are equally important, but first there must be a design drawing to consolidate the impression
Tang Shuming’s design work in “Miao Magic House”.
In “Light Girl! “The movie “Leeds and Jade Bird” and Yoshida have worked closely with Yoshida, who has also said that “Yoshida’s script can make people feel the taste and even the color of that moment.” Yoshida said that it is because he is When writing, he usually subconsciously adds “invisible atmosphere description” to lines and explanatory texts. For example, the conversation is slightly empty, or the wording is changed. Depending on the relationship, the atmosphere will change, and the subtle differences between them must be grasped in order to write lines and explanatory texts. Another example is the habit of joining a character, or drinking water several times or straightening up. Change people’s actions based on relationships. For example, when you talk to someone who doesn’t have a good impression, add the caption “Remove the line of sight.”
Just add a few strokes and you will feel the realism of the work. This is why Yoshida is good at describing everyday works. For those trivial things in life, Yoshida believes that whether it is a small experience or experience, it seems that the parties may become a major event that shakes the world. For this reason, she will not easily let go of any details, because it may become very interesting. S story
