“in the summer, on that sky, we changed the shape of the world.”

In the age of chaos, the indifferent and gloomy society, alone and away from home, came to Tokyo to sail high and stumbled in the torrent of strange cities, unable to find their own place. What appeared in front of him was like a sun-filled, incredible girl in the rain

“Now it’s going to be fine.”

Girls Yangcai has a special ability to make the small space around you clear in the short term. Fan Gao was dumped by human beings and ability, and started a business with her to help people who are eager for sunny days. They brought a short sunshine to all parts of Tokyo and a smile to the people who saw the blue sky. This made them feel their value for the first time and felt that they were recognized by the world

However, Yangcao did not tell that the sail is high, there is a cruel price behind her ability…

When the world and the beloved girl are placed at the ends of the balance, where should the sails go?

Running, struggling, crying, in this special summer, teenagers and girls will decide how they and the world survive

Because “Your name. The popularity of the new, Xin Haicheng not only became the top best-selling director in Japan, but also became one of Japan’s best-selling novelists. “Your name. The novel version has become the best-selling book in Japan in 2016 with a sales record of over one million. Three years later, the official novel of “The Son of the Weather” was also written by Xin Haicheng himself, and it also achieved gratifying results

Although popular movies must have an official novel version, it is an unwritten rule in Japan; but already watched the movie again, and then spend an extra sum of money and (more precious) time, reading the story is basically the same What is the meaning of the novel version? This is not just a question that readers will be curious about, and Xinhaicheng may have such concerns. Therefore, he has to spend one and a half pages in the postscript of the novel to explain the difference between the film and the novel

In Xin Haicheng’s own words, movies are not just articles, but also the expressions and colors of the pictures, the feelings and rhythms of the sounds, and the superimposed information of sound effects and music, etc., so the core The things are simpler, and the exterior decorations are more effective. The novel does not have these things. The “content” of a movie is a story, and the picture and sound are the “containers” needed to convey this “content” to the audience. The “content” and “container” of the novel are the same thing

With a compact and succinct movie, many things don’t need to be said, but the emotional impact of the picture and sound is forced to “make” the past. This set is difficult to work with in a novel composed entirely of words. Therefore, the content of the novel must be richer than the movie, and the descriptions intentionally omitted in the movie can be added to complement the experience brought by the picture and sound

Specific to the “Children of the Weather”, give a detailed example (should not pose a spoiler). At the beginning of the movie, there was a plaster on the face of the sail, but it did not explain why. In the novel, it is explicitly mentioned that this is because the sail was high in the dispute with his father before leaving home, and was injured by his father’s beating. If you don’t pay attention to watching movies, you will have a sense of ignorance when you read the novel. When you watch a movie, you will notice the cause of the audience, but you will see a smile. This is the beauty of “one dish, two delicious”

The novel basically uses the first person narrative of the male protagonist to sail high, and at the same time inserts the first person monologue of other characters in multiple places, telling the readers about the past events of the supporting actors and the mood of them facing the role of the protagonist. Through these descriptions, the image of the president of Sailao’s editorial office and the former Xia Mei and other people are more rich in three-dimensional, and their actions in the work are more easily understood and accepted by readers. This is also the unique superiority of the text media

Not only that, although the movie already has “your name.” “The character debut, but if you read “your name.” The readers of the novel version and the novel “Another Side: Earthbound”, and then reading the novel “The Son of the Weather”, may be able to discover the deeper connection between the two works in the world view

Of course, the “Child of the Weather” novel is not a gift to fans. As an independent novel, it can also be established. Although Xin Haicheng’s writing is not as good as the first-class writers, he is also plain and close, and he will not feel any obstacles when reading. He can easily participate in the world of works. Moreover, this simple style of writing, coupled with the protagonists of the cooperation, is just right, making their confusion and slamming on the paper, and more exciting readers’ resonance and protection

Although the “Child of the Weather” movie will not be released in China until November, but the novel has been introduced to the country by Tianwen Jiaochuan this month, to meet with you. Whether you are anxious to be an enthusiastic audience, or a cautious reader who wants to read a novel and then decide whether to watch a movie, you should not miss this novel version written by Xin Haicheng himself and telling the same story from another angle. Even if you want to leave the freshness to watch the movie, then read the novel again, you can have a deeper understanding of the work
