Speaking of the upcoming release of the theater version of “Hello World”, the Nozaki window responsible for the screenwriter, first took the slogan of the official website home page: “High-speed SF youth love drama” did some analysis. According to his experience, when the slogan consists of multiple words side by side, usually the last word is the most clear core. That is to say, this drama mainly tells a love story. Therefore, when the script was written, Nozaki used the most effort for this
The rest of the “high speed” and “SF” can be regarded as the building materials for the construction of this love drama, which is equivalent to the cornerstone of the bottom of the pyramid. Although the lack of any one of them may cause the whole tower to tilt, but as The architect, the most wanting to let the world take a quick look, is the most eye-catching four-cone spire
According to Nozaki, this time the scriptwriting task is different from the usual instructions, because from the planning stage, he discussed with the Ito Zhiyan supervision and the Wujing producer to discuss the overall composition of the plot. Because the three people carefully considered the key nodes in the play during the outline stage, the scripts that they are responsible for writing are nothing more than the specific implementation of the collective research. Of course, there is a certain degree of adjustment and change at each detail, but fortunately, the overall large frame is very stable, so Nozaki did not encounter major troubles when writing
As for the hard work of creation, it has always been the same for his playwright, but most of them were quickly forgotten at the moment of writing. In particular, the script creation of video works, compared with the work of painting and sound, which has a large workload, the hard work seems to be in vain… So when it is the turn of the next work, it’s already a good scar. Nozaki, can’t help but choosing a hard way for himself
撇Opened this book, Nozaki shared some of his personal script creation experience. First of all, in order to make the main purpose of the work convey as accurately as possible, the material collection work needs to be done in many ways. Furthermore, considering that the script of the video work is limited by the “time”, it is necessary to control the unit “ベラ” (Article). If you operate on the basis of “How manyベラ” per minute, you can increase the insurance factor
In short, because there is an upper limit on the amount of text that can be carried by a certain length of time, it is necessary to refer to this limit and make a choice between the information held by the opponent. When you encounter the necessary information to accommodate the situation, you can take a variety of response strategies, and Nozaki’s customary practice is to add a note on the side of the script. In other words, after writing the words that conform to the rules in accordance with the requirements, you will be accompanied by the thoughts, the scenes that emerged in your mind, and the reference things (pictures, film clips)
As a result, you can communicate with other members of the main team before the script meeting. When you meet again, you can try to find further space for improvement. Moreover, the completion of the text can also eliminate the drawbacks of verbal data inconvenient to verify after the event, making the script’s correction iteration process more efficient and smooth
When asked to list the favorite pieces, Nozaki thought about it and talked about a description of the SF novel about the protagonist. The camera swept through the books of Greg Egan, H. G. Wells, Arthur Charles Clarke and other world-renowned science fiction writers. According to Nozaki, there is a version of the amendment, he wrote in the memo, “put the book of Philip Dick into the bookshelf.” Who knows that this has triggered a heated debate about whether or not he is reading Philip Dick’s work. If you want to know if you are reading Dick’s book, please feel free to ask the theater to find out
The three heroes of the film belong to the juvenile straight and adult straightness of different timelines, and a row of glaze that is extremely important to both of them, has been set in the outline stage, so the characters are not drama The writer is shaped according to the supervisory intention, but is naturally brewed in the process of formulating the plot
Nozaki believes that it is a great attraction for the film to be straightforward. Therefore, when he wrote, he focused on portraying the troubles and thoughts of a high school student and a 16-year-old boy. Although the experiences of that age have become old things, it is undoubtedly the inevitable stage of everyone’s mental growth, and the memories and emotional fluctuations of that period have had a profound impact on today’s Nozaki. In other words, straightforwardness is actually the epitome of the past years of most people, and even the annoyance of being straightforward to their own immaturity can also arouse the emotion and resonance of people
Adult straight, it is a straightforward appearance after ten years. For ten years, it is undoubtedly long for individuals. Of course, ten years can make people show amazing changes, but in some respects, it still remains the same. The combination of the above two points can show the traces of ten years. If the juvenile’s straightforward point of view lies in the youthfulness, then the charm of adulthood is precisely the contrast between it and the actual age. Although real life can hardly find the same examples as adult straight reality. However, the striking qualities possessed by the two men, one big and one small, and the character of the South and the North, are the portrayal of different aspects of human nature
A line of glass from the point of view of the instrument, is the kind of girl who can make the opposite sex at first sight, but the inner temperament is very similar to the juvenile. However, the way in which glazed displays temperament is far from the reality of juveniles. There is a great difference between the two. Two young people who are at the same age and sentimental age, accumulating with each other, gradually drift away. In this sense, the glass that seems to be the most “ordinary” among the three people is experiencing the adventure of a person
According to Nozaki, the Ito Supervisor did not interfere too much with his scriptwriting work, and he always took the initiative to report to the supervisor the subjective impressions and feelings when writing the script. In addition, the production staff of various departments also expressed their opinions. Everyone has a lot of business and brainstorming, so Nozaki always feels that he is only one of the participants. The biggest benefit of teamwork is that you can choose the best solution from a bunch of ideas
Chat with the important time and space crossing tools that appear in the film, the quantum memory device “アルタラ”, Nozaki admitted that he has not done too deep into Zhou Xiang’s setting. This item is only a props that can be established as an SF plot. It can be understood as a leap caused by the imagination of the human brain. The reason why the device is designed to be spherical is mainly due to the association between infinite memory devices and celestial bodies and the universe
Also known as “Good Design”, the “Hand of God” glove transformed from the three-legged crow is characterized by its ability to “interfere with the origin of the world and connect with everything.” At first, Nozaki came up with a vacuum, but it was difficult to draw a picture because of intangibles… Then he came up with an amorphous object that has three changes of solid, liquid, and gaseous… and then draws on various suggestions. The final sublimation became the current state
Finally, Nozaki prays that in the era when the movie box office is not enough, this “Hello World”, which has been in production for more than four years, can be seen by more people, and sincerely hope that the audience can be in the theater. To enjoy the multiple enjoyment and fun of the movie, please also join in
