Through the picture to feel the temperature of life, the movie of the same name, “The Son of the Sea Beast”, adapted from the original of the Fifty Fathoms, was released in Japan on June 7. This work was provoked by the Watanabe, who was the dinosaur of the movie “Doraemon A Dream of the Year”, “The Movie Doraemon Daxiong and the Hulk”, “Cosmic Brothers”, etc., on the occasion of the release of the theatrical version, Watanabe Supervisor accepted an interview with rooftop to describe the experience of the work and the difficulties encountered in the production process

Watanabe was a loyal reader of the Fifty Fathoms before he received the work of “The Son of the Sea Beast”. When he learned that “The Son of the Sea Beast” was to be animated, he was also surprised. Watanabe also hopes that this video-based opportunity will allow more readers to appreciate the charm of this work. When planning the project, Watanabe wanted to let the audience feel the grand theme that the work itself should express and the strong women who shared the works of the Fifty Fathoms

Does not directly give a single result or conclusion, but hopes to hand over the depth of his work to readers and viewers to interpret it. Stimulate the reader’s curiosity and feel the “greatness of life”, which is also the common theme of the fifty-five works. In addition to the theme, another great charm of the Fifty Fathoms that Watanabe feels is his ability to penetrate the five senses. Watanabe praised, like the Fifty Fathoms, who wrote the art of the writers who had the skills to write the depths of the fallen stars. Through this opportunity of animation, they once again felt the charm of comics, and they admire the five bodies

“Where does life come from, where does it go?” – No one can give a definitive answer to this proposition. Watanabe is also very cautious about this. How to choose the content of the original work is also the first time to let the side of the brain And spend part of the time, in order to make the audience attractive to this theme. Watanabe said that in addition to the theme, the role is also very attractive, as far as possible not to cut the part of the character, but want to pick up. In the last part of the Watanabe set up a set, I hope to convey this idea to the audience, in order to let the audience bring back the feeling of A Haihuahua

“Take the reader an explanation” is also one of the charms of the original. Watanabe also did a lot of white processing in the film. The tips given by the producers gave the audience their own ideas to export the answers. He also looked forward to what kind of chemical reaction would happen. In this way, the focus of production can be placed on the overall quality, and the differences perceived by the audience will become colorful due to the brilliance of the participants. For example, the expression of water and animals in painting, the clever combination of CG and hand-painting is beyond his imagination

Watanabe Supervisor In order to let the audience better understand the personality of the works of the Fifty Fathoms, in addition to the hard work in the sound of the screen, the age of the voice actor is as close as possible to the character. For example, Lu Tian Ai Cai, who is voiced by Huanhua, is 14 years old like her, and Watanabe believes that only the age can be similar to the feeling of silk flowers, thus emitting the sound and acting that only 14 years old can show. Watanabe’s purpose of using actors who are active in real-life film and television dramas rather than professional seiyuu is to let the actors naturally sound their characters through their own feelings, rather than deliberately using acting to show their characters

In the acting of the sound, the actor who is similar in age tells the mood of these characters. For example, when Huanhua said to her mother, “Where can I do it,” Watanabe thought that it should be released here. However, Ashida used a more calm voice when dubbing. “This is even more hurtful.” This is something that the actor can stand in, and Watanabe feels a lot of benefits

In addition to the voice of the actor, the effect sound of this game is also unique. The sound supervisor of this work, Yu Songsong, has been playing in the industry for many years, and according to his judgment, the effect sound of each scene is added. The stitching of lines and music requires careful calculation, and sometimes it is necessary to do the work of “subtraction”, using the most direct and simple sound to reflect the depth of the work. Hisaishi is also a composer that Watanabe has always liked, and he is excited to work with him

The theme song is invited to the Mizuo singer, and it also gives people the feeling of generational replacement. A miraculous cooperation, from the perspective of Watanabe, can also feel the tide of the heart, but also the welfare of Tomizu attracted more young audience. The original author, Fifty Fathoms, also had a conversation with Watanabe after the film was completed. Fifty Fathoms gave this book a high praise. “They all come from the same seed. There is the same fundamental part that I want to express in the work of “The Son of the Sea Beast”, except that I paint comics, and Watanabe supervises the animation.” Watanabe I also decided to hide the words of the Fifty Fathoms as a medal

The audience can be interested in the work, and Watanabe is very satisfied. At the time of “line photography”, Watanabe felt the heart of every participant. The enthusiasm they injected into the film broke the first difficulty they encountered when participating in this work. Pass their heat to every viewer. At the beginning of Watanabe, he even did a good job of being able to do it for a few years or even forever

Finally, Watanabe said that it is hard to say whether this work can be recognized by all the audience, but he has absolute confidence in the investment in the work. This is the product of their love for the original. Including the voice actors. Everyone has the most sincere love and enthusiasm for the characters. For this animation, painting and dubbing seem to be a matter of course, but every staff member is worthy of respect. It is because of their common efforts that we can weave this unique world. “The Son of the Sea Beast” is a very extravagant film, I hope the audience can fully feel. In addition, I hope that viewers who have seen this work in the cinema can go to see the original comics and even go to the Enoshima Aquarium to experience it for themselves
