The original animation “Hisone and Masotan” was successfully completed, and NewType magazine interviewed this series to form Okada Yuri, reviewing the bits and pieces behind this work. .
Okada said that although she was slightly distressed at the end, she wrote the script for Hisone and Masotan as a whole. Looking back, “Hisone and Masotan” was very happy, so she was still unfinished and wanted to continue writing. .
For Okada, it is quite rare to be able to finish work so early. So when other staff members were still working hard, she and the supervisory supervisor met with each other and gave me a training: “How do you feel relaxed, do you think you are done first?”
Of course, the work of Hisone and Masotan is indispensable. Okada took over the proposition put forward by the general supervisor of Sakaguchi. The first thing to do is to think about how to write this proposition as a story. .
However, the method of the general supervision of the mouth of the mouth gave her a lot of room for thinking. For example, the general supervisor of the mouth of the mouth asked her to write “the dragon mimicry into a fighter plane”, but did not say why the dragon should be mimicked and how the pilot took the dragon. So although the question is very large, her degree of freedom is also very high. .
The general supervisor of Sakaguchi gave her a lot of room to play, and the answer sheets she handed in would be recognized as long as they were interesting. Such a broad mind makes Okada feel very challenging. .
In addition, in this work, Okada’s ability to correct the track has also been greatly tested. The general supervisor of Sakaguchi always suddenly came up with an idea and gave her a realization. For example, when Okada was writing the final ceremonies, the general supervisor of Sakaguchi suddenly asked her: “What about the story of letting Zenggen sacrifice his life in exchange for the great ceremonies?”
Okada himself will certainly resist this idea. She had a rough expectation for the story of the last episode, and wanted to take the trust relationship that the characters walked along to build the center. Therefore, she did not choose one of the two to write, but to find the compromise between what she wanted to write and what she wanted to do. However, if we simply add the two together and divide it by two, then it will make both of them unable to let go, so what she is finally looking for is a slightly different point from the middle. .
In Okada’s opinion, “Hisone and Masotan” is not only a test for herself, but also a new challenge for the general supervisor of Sakaguchi. Although he was involved in animation before the general supervision of Sakaguchi, he was not familiar with the current animation production scene. Therefore, his ideas are often rejected by people around him: “This is too difficult for animation,” or “can’t do this in a series.” Although he understood that he had to make concessions, he refused to give up his ideas easily. Okada also felt his entanglement, so he was also thinking about how to realize the wish of the general supervision of the mouth. .
For this reason, not only Okada, but also a person. The requirements of the general supervision of the Sakaguchi are much more burdened on the screen than the script. Supervising Kobayashi and the staff of various departments are also trying to achieve his expectations. Everyone has slightly broken the rules of the animated world, and has challenged many things in this work. .
The image of the characters in the works is also completed by the general supervisor of Sakaguchi and Okada in the negotiation. However, the character setting of the five D drivers is dominated by Okada. .
At first, the general manager of Sakaguchi wanted a strong personality and said that he wanted to set the protagonist as a lie girl. The general supervision of Sakaguchi and Okada’s initial relationship were a plan to promote another novel adaptation of a live-action movie. The plot of that work is very heavy. Affected by this, when the general supervisor of Sakaguchi cooperated with Okada, he wanted to get a bunch of girls who were very dark inside. .
However, when they planned the “Hisone and Masotan” plan, they were catching up with the time when Okada didn’t want to write a dark story. She wants to make her work brighter. However, the setting of the lie is very strong, Okada believes that to replace it, you must think of a new and powerful setting. The result of her thinking is that the girl who can’t talk too much.
A girl who does not lie at all, sounds like a plus point, very attractive. But Okada believes that such people will actually be very violent. People live in society, sometimes they have to lie in order not to hurt others. And such a girl, even this lie is denied. Okada feels that this setting is also very dark under the circumstance, and the general supervisor of the mouth should be willing to accept it. Moreover, since the protagonist does not lie, it will naturally bring harm to the surrounding. If you want to write teamwork, it will produce a tension in the plot. .
And about other D pilots, Okada said, because this time the general supervisor of the mouth does not want the so-called “mother sister”, she thinks that the debut role can not be the kind of girl who is easy to become a love object, all of a sudden There is a lot of ideas. In other films, male characters are not the type that can easily become a love object, but it is difficult to get through the shaping of girls. .
In the “Hisone and Masotan” girls, how to shape the name is a big theme in Okada’s heart. She likes the story of this defeated character who does not admit defeat. At the end of the day, because there are many settings for the big ceremonies, the scenes describing the name are inevitably reduced. How to write the scenes that she is not present makes Okada very troublesome. .
If you have another chance to participate in “Hisone and Masotan” in the future, what kind of script does Okada want to write? She said that when participating in original works, the film often asks for all efforts to write ups and downs. So, if she can, she wants to write a plain daily story. .
Okada believes that the daily life of the Self-Defense Forces will be very different from the daily impressions of ordinary people. When she participated in this work, she was able to go to the base to find the material, and felt that the flowing air in the daily life was obviously different from the outside, which made her very interesting. She believes that describing this every day, for animation, will become non-daily. .
In addition, she not only wants to write girls, but also wants to write the daily routines of those strong uncles, such as Zeng Tian’s bathing scenes. Although it may be written, no one wants to see it. .
