Developed by DMM Games and Nitroplus, it led the warrior “Sword Men”, a sword-inspired warrior, and the sword-making simulation game “Sword Frenzy-ONLINE-”, which has been fighting for history. Since the game was launched in 2015, it has attracted many players. The animation project and ufotable have successively adapted two TV animations, “Sword Frenzy – Huamao”, “Live Shot / Sword Dance”, musicals, stage plays and other multimedia projects have also been successful, NHK Red at the end of 2018 In the white songs, the musical “Sword and Sword Dance” sword man’s performance, let everyone feel this “social phenomenon.”
The production was published for about one year, and the first live-action series “The Movie Sword Dance” was released in Japan on January 18. The script of this work consists of “The Battle of the Real Sword”, “The Sheriff’s Team”, “Kamen Rider”, “Kamen Rider OOO”, TV Animation “JOJO’s Bizarre Adventure”, “The Attacking Giant”, “Multiple” Luo, such as the popular special drama and animation of Kobayashi, played a more important role in this work. On the occasion of the film’s release, livedoor NEWS and animateTimes also interviewed Kobayashi and talked about the creation of the story of “The Movie Sword Dance”
Before writing a script for the movie, Kobayashi only knew the name of “Sword Dance” until she took the job and she went to play the game. For the adaptation, Kobayashi said that there is no difficulty in the creation of the story, but it takes more time to collect the content. In order to grasp the character’s character, as a reference, I will definitely go to the stage works and collect the lines of the game. While watching the musical, she also waved a light stick with the ordinary audience. She deeply felt the enthusiasm and love of the work in the seat and left a deep impression on her. In terms of stage plays, Kobayashi mainly aims at close-up observations of how the Suzuki expansion of the three-day moon is similar, but the setting itself is very interesting. For example, the story of the “burning instinct temple” that everyone knows is usually the guardian of history, which is the mission of the protagonists. However, this is not the case in the stage play “Swords and Dances”. It is because of the need to protect history, so it is necessary to kill the characters in history, which makes Xiaolin raise interest
When I first received the script and received the job, Xiaolin was surprised at the first time, “I didn’t expect this to be made into a movie!” However, the original “Sword and Dance” theme is very close to the era I like. The drama, the drama of the era can shoot the scenes of the dance guns, so it is quite frank to say “very interesting.”
Xiaolin was influenced by the drama of the times and the criminal drama since he was a child, especially the drama of the times. From the beginning of elementary school, he was watching the series of “Yuanshan Ajin”, “Yuhu Huangmen” and “Must Kill”. Become the origin of the scripter. Today, the number of TV dramas on TV is far less than before, but in the games, animations, and 2.5-dimensional works, the works of the era are popular. However, Kobayashi still prefers the drama of the past with a “real knife”, and now such works are more inclined to “new era drama” or “new style drama.” It’s not the hair of the head of the moon, the hair is scattered, there are other strange shapes, the costumes are also strange costumes, and even the name is not, there is no set of past “time drama”
Although there has been some touch on the styling, Kobayashi is willing to try to accept this freshness. Sword men are fixed characters, can’t be changed, but if you add historical characters here, their wording, manners and ways of thinking should be adjusted as close as possible to the past era dramas
From the PC web game, “Sword Frenzy”, the animation is adapted with two themes, and the stage play is divided into two forms: drama and musical. So in order to distinguish other multimedia, first of all, how is the sword about the debut in the movie version decided? Kobayashi said that the first decision was to play Suzuki’s expansion of the tree on the 3rd. Starting with him as the main character, and then determined is “the actors of the stage drama version”, the general lineup is decided. Then, according to the needs of the plot, the sword man who finally appeared will be screened
At the beginning, there was no special designation to use the Instinct Temple as a stage. Just after determining the “knife” selection, the stage background was chosen. According to common sense, the story background should be selected first and then the actors should be selected. The story background has multiple candidates. It must be the Warring States, or it may be the end of the curtain. However, I still hope that many people who come to see the “Sword and Dance” for the first time can see this world view at a glance, starting with a light audience. Even if there is a lot of friends who have played games, they are not necessarily familiar with history. Therefore, if you choose a more biased history, it is estimated that everyone will not be very interested… Although Xiaolin laughs that he likes this very much, but in this case, he has to add a lot of necessary explanations. The film still needs to be enjoyed by the audience. For the “premise.”
In addition, the real film needs to be taken to the scene. If you want to use the extras, you should also consider the costumes of the people at that time… In order to alleviate these burdens, Kobayashi has a finale. The “Instinct Temple” is entirely based on the shooting. And the result. The historical drama is also a cross-cutting theme… How to adapt the history that has been settled, this must be “organs” above and below the story. After various meetings and discussions, the story was finally set. Kobayashi also revealed that when she wrote, she did not set a theme. In short, after seeing it, everyone thinks that it is interesting. At the time of writing, I just kept thinking about adding a lot of dance knives that I also liked. The sword men’s handsome play, nothing more
For the center of the story, playing Suzuki’s expansion of the tree on the 3rd, Kobayashi said that he had only seen two stage plays outside the “Sword and Dance”, such as “Threeどころじゃない 吉三” (original case “three people Ji San”). The youth club is dominated by Maori Yuhong. In the past, through the introduction of the younger generation and actor Tang Qiaochong, he met with Kobayashi. Kobayashi also introduced Maori to the producer of Kamen Rider Oo, and the Maori participated. A lot of scripts including the “Kamen Rider OOO”, including the heroes of Toei. Because of this special photo, Kobayashi also went to see the stage play dominated by Maori. Suzuki’s on-the-spot play left a deep impression on Xiaolin
Because now the actors’ heads are very different from the past, now the young actors’ play is closer to the overseas style. The legs are long, the characters are high, and the body shape is not suitable for a knife. However, Kobayashi said that in this situation, actors like Suzuki worked very hard to challenge the orthodox play, which left a good impression on her. Therefore, when I learned that the movie version of the three-day moon was played by Suzuki, Kobayashi was very relieved. The role itself is ok, there are not many places to change, but Kobayashi hopes to give him more space for acting. “If it is Suzuki, this scene is very interesting.”
About Suzuki’s performance on the scene of the Oda Nobunaga’s confrontation with Yamamoto’s history, Kobayashi said that the acting is mutually influential. It is because of the performance of Yamamoto’s farming history that it can trigger the performance of Suzuki’s expansion. The acting in the video works is different from the acting on the stage. For Suzuki, who plays the same role in both aspects, he should be deeply touched by these difficulties. However, he and his partner are playing with actors such as Yamamoto Farming, who has super-high performing skills in video works. Under their guidance, The atmosphere is naturally manifested, and the acting is different from the past. Kobayashi believes that even the audience who are used to the stage series will see the same actors in the same role in the film will be very different
Kobayashi said that the three-day moon in the stage play has not shown how to express his feelings. How to make the three-day moon in the movie close to emotions is also a major issue. Even so, I can’t understand too much, but I can be a little angry, smile a little, be gentle, and have such feelings in it. Deliberately let the audience see the change of feelings
In the movie, we must first give people a real sense of reality. This kind of realism is reflected in the comparison between humans and sword men. Sword men have existed as swords in the past, and even in the future they are resurrected by human bodies, they are still swords. However, Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, who are played by Yamamoto Farming and Hachishima Homo sapiens, are different. They are people who lived in that era. They gave the Nobunaga and Hideyoshi a heavy acting, and from their lines and behaviors, they were completely the atmosphere of the orthodox era
Due to the busy work, Kobayashi took a day to shoot the scene. When I went there, I was shooting a huge action scene. When I heard the loud voices of the actors and actresses who played the soldiers and the time-going army, it gave a very grand feeling. It was also the first time that Kobayashi and the swordsmen’s actors met, only to say hello, and Suzuki said something. However, Iwasawa Izumi, who played the Japanese No., was also the rock of the year, Iwasaki Akira (Wan Yongyang Zhao played the masked knight Birth/Idamin in the “Kamen Rider OOO”, who was the master of Kobayashi
In the interview of the actors, you are also honored to be able to play the works written by Xiaolin. Everyone said that although they are the same character, the feeling in the film is obviously different from that on the stage. Kobayashi said that the biggest advantage of playing the same role in their group of actors is that if there is something wrong with the character, they will directly correct it. After all, they have played so many roles, no better than them. I have a good role, so I am very at ease
As for the world view of the work, Kobayashi said that because he wants to shoot action martial arts movies, it is not only the story of those historical figures, but also the play between the time marching army. Therefore, in order to show that they are “enemies”, this time it is very straightforward to point out that the time-trading army has a clear purpose and is doing small moves behind it
For the eight knives selected this time, Kobayashi said that the balance is well grasped both in terms of numbers and actors. I hope that everyone can take the sword men who did not participate in this movie as an expedition. In the movie, the trust relationship between the sword man and the trialer can also be felt. Kobayashi said that this point is to supervise the demands put forward by Yevune. “This must be written out.”
Once again, I would like to explain the charm of the “Sword and Dance” that I personally feel. Xiao Lin said that when I first watched the stage play, I felt that the setting was very interesting. In addition, it is also strongly felt that players like characters with personalities, and producers will also cater to players for creation. At the time of film production, Xiaolin once said: “I am a person who is in special shooting, ‘Meng Point’ may not be written, but ‘flame point’ will definitely be.” For this, Xiaolin said, the audience We will definitely want to see the cute point of “Sword Men”. But these cute points have already existed in the hearts of the audience and the players, so if you can associate them in this way, you can enjoy them. The audience can understand the point they like, and the movie version is what everyone thinks is interesting and is dedicated to you, and then the audience will feel it
Initially for the hairstyles and costumes in the show, Kobayashi still has some concerns about what they will be photographed in the sun. I can’t imagine the scene where the sword men and the people of the Warring States period will stand together. The images they see in the end are better than their style, color and framing. Thanks to Ye Yun supervision and swords. The cooperation of men. “It’s great to see the sword man in the image!”
As a time drama enthusiast, Xiao Lin said that he still likes to play with swords and swords. Especially in the movie, you can see the fighting scenes of these real swords, which is even more exciting. Nobunaga and Hideyoshi are also very good. Although they are movies of sword men, the scenes of the two “old men” are equally brilliant. Therefore, a thousand words merge into one sentence, “I hope everyone can see this movie!” Come to the cinema, enjoy it through the big picture, no longer come when you can’t miss it. Look at it a few times and feel the handsome fighting posture of the sword men on the big screen
