The story took place in the 1990s, telling the story of the game players, teenagers and girls from the love of the “high score girl” finally ushered in the second season of TV animation. On this occasion, ddnavi also interviewed the original author of the comic book, Mr. Alice, and one of the initiators of the animation, and the producer of Warner Bros., who is a Warner Bros. in Japan. The interview is divided into the top and bottom. The first part will revolve around the first phase of the animation. The secrets of the animation production scene, such as the difficulty of making a real game picture in the play, the casting process of seiyuu, etc. After the
Animation was launched, the reminder of the betrayed Twitter did not stop, and the vast majority of them came from foreign audiences to send him private messages. Everyone sent a gratitude to him and thanked him for creating such a wonderful work. He is also very surprised. After all, the original story is about the story of Japan in the 1990s. I did not expect to be able to bring emotion to overseas audiences. Of course, most of the credit is attributed to the animation, so that this work is not only in Japan, but also spread across the borders to overseas
Hegang producers said that Netflix has contributed to this. In addition to the first issue of the Chinese market, which was broadcast exclusively by iQiyi, the overseas audience was watched by Netflix, and the response was very good. Every country has its own game culture, and the games played are not the same. Tsuruoka also sees the different opinions of various countries from the reply of everyone, which is very interesting
Although the promotion is almost in Japanese, it is occasionally released in English by the person in charge of overseas affairs, and will also attend overseas activities, and directly see the strong response from overseas audiences. I was deeply impressed
However, Tsuruoka is still more intimate with the domestic audience. After all, this is the story of Japan’s gameplay in the 1990s, with battle fighting games and nostalgic pure love stories as the main line. The Japanese audience is more able to feel the nostalgia in the animation, and realize that the animation will show the enthusiasm of the time. Everyone in the animation production team is working hard to show this enthusiasm. Here, Tsuruoka expresses sincere gratitude to everyone who supports the animation
Tsuruoka said that since the “High Score Girl” is to be adapted into an animation, it would be meaningless if the real game could not appear in the play. In the first period, there were already a lot of games that appeared in the show. Before that, I naturally greeted the game manufacturers and got permission
This business is actually in the animation preparation stage, it takes a lot of time, and every game that appears in the animation needs to sign the corresponding contract. Unfortunately, the copyrights of some old games have disappeared and they have not been realized. These games have to be replaced with other works. The scripting session takes place after the contract is signed. The production process of the second phase has basically maintained the first phase, and I look forward to your future development
Regarding the game contract, Tsuruoka said that it is very cumbersome, such as “Heartbeat Memories”. If you want to have the sounds and songs of the seiyuu in the animation, you must not only confirm with Kolemei, but also contact the seiyuu office. In order to put Happy End’s “Female 々しい野郎どもの诗” in the play must also be confirmed to the copyright party of the song. In short, confirmation and confirmation, no sloppy, Tsuruoka is also very grateful to the copyright parties for their cooperation
At the time of the project, Tsuruoka wanted to bring in the game makers together and make them lively. And just in time, Japan began to popularize retro games. Tsuruoka also hopes to use the “High Score Girl” as an opportunity to repay the game makers who lend them the game
When discussing with the original maker Square Enix, there was a mention of the related advertisements with various game manufacturers when the TV broadcasted, and Tsuruoka felt it. And instead of taking the name of the product directly, it is a matter of perfunctory, but the combination of the advertisement itself and the content of the animation, and even the advertisement that the game fans will smile, just like Chunxiong and others are playing the current game
So on this issue, after consulting with the TV station, a joint advertisement was released between this A-Part and B-Part, and submitted to the TV station together with the image of this article. In a sense, linked advertising has also become part of this article. On the one hand, as a reward for the various game manufacturers, on the one hand, it does not forget to add the elements of spoof to make the animated audience happy. The manufacturers were also very happy after seeing such advertisements, so the second issue continued to use the same approach
The second half of the first issue is mainly about “Devil Warrior”, and he is good at using the role of Forbes, so the production team did not hesitate to ask for the “player” to personally take the real operation of Forbes in the play..
押切 indicates that it is quite terrible when it comes to the real machine operation of the game. First of all, the actual operation of the game is also scripted. For example, when the opponent takes off, he has to punch repeatedly. However, when he is playing, he always makes a move first. After all, he usually plays for the purpose of victory. Therefore, when the other party takes off, the corresponding move will be involuntarily made
However, this time you have to come up with “acting skills”, this is not easy, you can not falsify the original game. Therefore, occasionally you need to deliberately lose to the other party, the other party is a beginner will be merciful. When he was doing the real machine operation, he did not think that this would reflect Xiaochun’s mood
In the real operation of the game, the animation group specially invited the friends of the game center Mikado to help, especially Chunxiong and Jing’s “Super Street Fighter IIX” showdown, Chunxiong and Xiaochun’s “Real Soul” “King of Fighters” “Devil Warrior” won three games and so on. Betty said that they are equivalent to the actors in the game. Originally, you should ask a more advanced gamer to help. And the animation is not the first-class skill, but the “acting skills.”
As it is said that when the character of “High Score Girl” wants to have a voice with seiyuu, it is like watching another work. Because it is a “high-scoring girl” made by other people, although the original manga is to cut his own painting, the animated version is not his own work. When “Spring of Triangle Grass” was adapted into a real film, he also had the same feeling. After all, he was not a video person. At this time, he always felt that he could not help himself. This time The animation is also about, the only thing on the production staff table is that there is no effort
About the selection of “High Score Girl”, it was very interesting when he saw the image. When I arrived at the dubbing scene, I was only in the initial test stage, and I was called “perfect!” At this time, the cut is not the original author, but an ordinary animated audience, purely regarded as the audience of the “High Score Girl” animation
Of course, the animation group also sought advice from Beche, and it was decided by the sound supervisors of Akira Kawasaki, the supervising Yamakawa Yoshiki and J.C. STAFF. What Tsuruoka often hears is how crystal seiyuu is good. Although Jing is a silent character, it does not mean that she will not speak, she just does not speak
In the animation, some of her reactions will also add some sound or gasp, which must be matched with seiyuu, which is already determined during the audition phase. And 3 starrings: Chunxiong, Jing, Xiaochun also does not matter whether to use the strength of the big card to send seiyuu, as long as they meet the role itself
押切 also agrees with this view. Although he knew that some cartoonists were painting, they already had the impression of the character’s seiyuu. But I don’t know about seiyuu. Therefore, when asked who to choose, he is also confused. After discussing with the beggar, the three stars decided to choose by audition, and many of them were sent by sound. The number of participants was more than that of Tsuruoka
After they actually heard it, they also hesitated about the casting. Especially in the scene where Jing was crying in the third, because there is no line, it is difficult to distinguish the difference. Of course, this may be a bit of a deceptive component, and some can still hear some subtle differences and flash points, but there are not many people who can perfectly display the image of Jing, and finally choose the bell yarn bow
In the audition stage, Lingdai also tried Xiaochun’s role. It is natural to say that it is cool and strong from her voice. There is a lot of tension in the acting of crying, and it is this play that everyone agrees that the Belle Yarn Bow is a strong candidate for Ohno, and when she saw her file, she was surprised by Tsuruoka. It is a complete newcomer. And even if the general new seiyuu 歹 也会 档案 档案.
This “mystery” makes everyone curious about her. However, she also got a lot of works after “High Score Girl”, and now she no longer has to hand in the scrolls
For the voice of Chunxiong, there is no comment on the beggar. Chunxiong is a slogan in the impression of Tsuruoka, so the big premise is the person who can fully master these lines. Chunxiong is also the most important role, so he is very cautious when choosing, and he has to change from primary school students to high school students, both in age and in spirit
At that time, although I thought about using female seiyuu to match the young boy of the boyhood, the production team hoped to be able to hear the unique stupidity of the grown-up boys from the sound, and Chunxiong can be said to be the game idiot in the 1990s game trend. The spokesperson of the man, therefore, still hopes to use male seiyuu. Another point is very important, that is, Chunxiong can not be too handsome in acting
In the audition phase, every time you listen to a voice, you will try to draw Chunxiong’s face. I will think that if this person is worthy, then Chunxiong should be like this. Sometimes Chunqin, who has a long chin, is sometimes a Chunxiong with a knife and a samurai face, and sometimes a Chunxiong with a thick eyebrow. But when he heard the sound of Nagasaki, his voice was exactly the same as Chunxiong’s face. This also left a deep impression on Beche. And the character of Tianqi is also very good, and it is just right for him to dub for Chunxiong
Selected Chunxiong and Jinghou, weighed the voices of the two and decided to choose Xiaochun. Tsuruoka personally believes that Xiaochun should behave more naturally. It’s not that you can’t be too cute, but you can’t feel like a show. The Guangyou Youji dubbed Xiaochun was the artist firm SUNMUSIC (which was retired on October 1st), and also had the experience of a child star on TV. Her voice is relatively unpretentious and very natural
In the view of the cut, every seiyuu of the animation is chosen to be seamless and impeccable. In the first period, because the original comics were still serialized, when I knew the character’s voice, it was easier to draw. Especially in Xiaochun, the sound of the vastness echoed in the mind of the beggar, while thinking and painting, the pen is like a god
The first episode of the animation, the original comics are still in serial. In fact, Tsuruoka had already asked about the future development of the begga comics. At that time, as an editor, he told me that the 10th volume of the book would be finished. At that time, Tsuruoka was already calculating the second phase of the animation. And the animation was also good, and the 2nd phase was absolutely hopeful. Hegang found the Matsuzak producer of J.C.STAFF at the time. After the two discussed it, he made a good applause and decided to make 2 issues on the spot
“High Score Girl” is a love drama. If you want to continue, it is not impossible. However, Mr. Becher has already decided that the 10th volume of the book should be completed. Tsuruoka said that when judging from the relationship between Chunxiong and Jing, the first volume in a certain sense has already seen the final outcome. Later, although the story became complicated because of the family relationship and the appearance of Xiaochun, the mood of the two did not change
The teacher does not want the relationship between the two to drag on, so I decided to explain the final ending in the 10th volume of the book, although it is still longer than he expected, but the ending and the game can be said to be Perfectly combined, I hope that viewers who have not seen comics will be able to witness the long-distance running of Chunxiong and Jing through the second phase of the animation
