The animation of “Mobile Suit Gundam UC”, which was created by Fukui Harumi’s original novel and SUNRISE, was officially launched in 2010. It spanned 4 years and ended in 2014 with the full 7 chapters of OVA. In 2016, this book will re-edit the story of the whole 7 chapters, and added the new OP and ED to the original TV platforms of “Mobile Suit Gundam”. Nagoya Station is also entitled “Mobile Suit Gundam UC RE: 0096” in the form of TV series. Broadcast. This time, we may wish to review this work again, and look at the birth of this work and the behind-the-scenes stories from this interview with the supervisor of the ancient bridge and the producer Xiao Xing. .
In the early spring of 2008, the producer of SUNRISE Studio No. 1 is looking at the animation of “Mobile Suit Gundam UC”. Because the original novel of Fukui Harumi is in the first place, I want to adapt it to animation. Need a performer who has a great understanding of the original and the adaptation to complete the visualization of this work. Fukui Harumi, who has made a deep impression on “Gundam”, has completed the skeleton of “UC”, and to adapt it to animation requires a person who can cover these skeletons. From many supervisory candidates, the small shape thinks of the ancient bridge. One Hao. .
Guqiao was still in a studio in Jixiang Temple, and the first two volumes of the “UC” novel were placed on the table. Coincidentally, the small form found him, and when he arrived at the coffee shop of Kokubunji, he discussed it. Xiaozi still remembers the conversation between them at the time. In short, the form of “UC” is OVA. This is decided in advance. The reason is that we hope to target the audience of a higher age. Around this goal, the planning of “UC” begins. .
When I took this task, Guqiao did not feel any pressure. I was not under pressure when I made all four volumes of OVA “Rurouni Kenshin – Meiji Swordsman Romance Tan – Reminiscence”. If it is completely original, there will be pressure. Guqiao said that since there is a novel in the first place, then what should be considered later is how to adapt, the producer will not lose direction. .
In the beginning, I only considered making OVA works with a total of 4 words and 40 minutes of speech. The small form also knows that only 4 words of OVA naturally cannot fully include the original. After all, even this is the limit for the producer. It is. The practice is like a TV series usually containing advertisements. The length is about 40 minutes. In short, this is the first goal. The ancient bridge supervisor said that after all, he and others are “old humans”, and they can’t predict the future. They didn’t even think that it would be six years. .
Although it is not a tiring errand in the process of production, the mechanics are very troublesome, and there are many settings. The problems one by one, and the ancient bridge feels a headache. The end of every word only means a moment of rest. Because I have to go on to make the next one, I don’t even have time to review it. Moreover, the original reservation was still to be guaranteed within two years. After 6 years, the animation was finished. The ancient bridge didn’t feel like being hollowed out. The feeling of liberation was there, and not only did it not lose weight because of heavy work, but it was more and more horizontal. .
I have some thoughts about the night, and I often do the dream of “doing the animation”. I always feel that there is nothing to do at hand. Even if I slept, I still have nothing to do with waking. Being chased by time. Similarly, the small form of the producer is no exception. One or two weeks after the completion, I often dream of the dream of continuous repair. The ancient bridge often dreams of returning to the original artist era. “This work has been discussed, but there has been no movement for more than half a year. How is this good?” This nightmare entangled the ancient bridge for 30 years. .
“UC” is the “Gundam” series of the first part of the ancient bridge. Moreover, the timeline of “UC” is not enough in the UC years, so it must be done in the future. At the same time, in order to distinguish from other Gundam works, but also to come up with their own originality, on this point, first of all, the original novel of “UC” can be regarded as a long piece, animation can not be all-encompassing, all the elements are described, supervision The biggest role is to act as a “decision maker”, which means choosing the original. The elements left behind are not found in other works of Gundam, which is the originality of this work.
Regarding how the story should progress, Guqiao thinks that this is a process of “mystery”. “What is the ‘Laplace Box’?” Around this setting, the “Banaji’s identity” is passed on the way. Who is Audrey? The announcement of these questions finally unraveled the whole picture. On the one hand, it can’t be artificially produced. On the other hand, it can’t be fully implemented. In terms of performances, it is set up only once. As an ovum, only repeated viewing can start the effect. .
For Guqiao, the movements of swaying, the acting and expressions accompanied by real feelings, and the feelings of emotions from the heart, these natural expressions and behaviors due to emotions, the resonance generated by the music will be substituted. Feeling, this will also change the perspective of the story. “UC” eulogizes “the ups and downs of adults”, so more is not from the perspective of the protagonist, so it can be seen from the perspective of the surrounding adults to see Banerjee’s perspective is particularly important. Chapter 1 is Cartiers, Chapter 2 is Dr. Hassan, Chapter 3 is Taksa, and Chapter 4 is from Captain Chennai. The show is also controlling as much as possible to let the protagonist move the feelings to other people. In theory, this is an extreme creation method, but under such circumstances, “obstacle” can only be excluded by “physical” methods. .
Regarding the mechanical part, many of them are from the original “Mobile Suit Gundam” and the theatrical version of “Mobile Suit Gundam F91”. This is the place where Xuan Ma Xuan Yan, who is supervised by the mechanical masterpiece painting, is extremely particular. After all, the stage of “UC” is the cosmic century that began from the first generation, and it is impossible to completely complete the good setting from the past. This aspect is mainly controlled by the mechanical design of the shackles and the black horse. Of course, Guqiao himself personally corrected some details in the first chapter, and changed the wreckage of Kira Deka to Zagu. Musse adjusted the position. Chapter 7 Opening AMX-107 Bawu fit lens is also a bit of “Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ” fit scene, this is to inherit the past, not simply pay tribute. .
In the view of Guqiao’s supervision, Banaghi is a top student, as depicted in the play, in real life, even if it is around, it will not be annoying, and everyone likes the type. The shortcoming is that the young is not sophisticated and also has a second taste. In the animation, the discerning person can understand what kind of character he is. But a role like him, for modern young people, is not very confusing with Barnag and cannot resonate. After all, the video works are more superficial than the novels, but the ancient bridge said that the voice of the inner mountain anghui for the voice of Banagi has made up for this, and the ancient bridge is also grateful for the acting of the inner mountain. .
Banaji did not grow from beginning to end. The surrounding adults looked at the unchanging Banaji. What do they think about their inner feelings and what kind of action they took? This is the entry point for UC. . From the tapestry of the unicorn, the position of Banajji has been clearly demonstrated and plays a role of reconciliation. Banaj will gain experience, but his nature will not change. He will remind the surrounding adults of the lost things and act as catalysts. .
Ful Franto is the transcender, and Guqiao hopes to portray him as a character with a “no false personality”, for which Angelo will be intoxicated. The ancient bridge is different from the original idea of Fukui Harumi. The ancient bridge does not want to clarify whether Ful Franto is the return of Xia in the play. It is not important. I hope that this issue will be “ambiguous”. He not only relied on force, but also tried to break Banaji by reasoning. In the face of this impeccable, above all abilities, this is also a problem for Barnag, who is the master of the family. The ancient bridge also hopes to throw this question to the audience to think. Ichida Hideyoshi’s acting is more in line with Fol-Franto, and even in an empty environment, he can feel his huge “existence”, which is also shaped by the ancient bridge. Image of. Even if placed in an entertainment work, his settings are not reasonable. Because it is an “up to adult-oriented work” in the plot climax needs to mobilize the rational thinking of the audience, but even so can not be too blunt, need to adjust moderately.
In the early stages, the ancient bridge had a plan to prevent Liddy from shooting Maritan, but now this is the ideal ending that Guqiao thinks is the best. The role of Liddy is vomiting and is a line of shame. It makes people feel heartbroken. However, considering that Liddy was also eroded by NT-D, Guqiao chose to forgive him. Banaji also confessed Gilber with his own hands, and no one condemned him. The captains of the captains of Akama, the captain of the squad, are all good old people. .
Mary Tan also touched the development of the plot. The masters led by the small form also struggled for a long time in the final chapter when they killed or did not kill. Because she runs through the entire collection, it is easy for the audience to focus on her. As for the plot of her guarding the Akama, according to the distance of 150 kilometers, we can’t see her performance, but the elements of fate embodied in her body have to feel The impact of her departure. Guqiao himself has no special likes or dislikes for these characters. Forcibly speaking, the commentator who is slightly exposed on the bridge of La Kelam in Chapter 4 is his heart, and nothing more. .
When I was 14 years old, Ichihara Hiroshi first came into contact with the sci-fi animation – “Space Battleship Yamato”, and looked at the first generation “Gundam” four years later. Although it is a war drama, the overall bright atmosphere has always remained in the heart of the ancient bridge. What is up to yourself, Guqiao has been thinking about this issue, but it is difficult to draw a conclusion. .
In fact, before the launch of “Gundam”, Guqiao went to Studio Nue’s illustrator Kato Zhizhi’s hometown to discuss the future direction, Kato and he said, “One such work has to begin. Oh, Guqiao also heard that this threshold is relatively high, but after reading the first words, it seems that no one else has said so. In the process of watching, the relationship between Xia and Amro touched him. The seemingly serious war film always makes people feel warm, and the ancient bridge is deeply touched by this work reflecting human nature. .
Guqiao believes that this is not only the credit for scripts and performances, but also the music of Watanabe Yuefu has played a big role. Drive emotions through music. It is an ideal type of background music in the mind of Guqiao. Compared with the “Dahe”, all the elements are controlled very well, and people can feel comfortable. They can use “miracle” to refer to such works. Like the “Dahe”, they are extremely high in the heart of the ancient bridge. Status. .
The first time I watched the super-powered works of Guqiao was in the sixth grade of elementary school, and I saw the comic book “Babylon 2” in Yokoyama, so the setting of “NewType” is not unusual. . This type of predictive ability can be understood as an exchange obtained by putting a life on the battlefield. Although Guqiao has revisited the theatrical version of “Mobile Suit Gundam III Meets in the Universe”, in the section about NewType, Guqiao believes that the TV version is more realistic for the interpretation of Newtype, and depicts it in the most beautiful form. This kind of possibility. .
After more than 30 years of contact with “NewType”, Guqiao can also realize the short-lived state in a certain period. The mutual understanding between people is extremely limited. Not only today’s online society, if everyone confides in the realities, the world will become a mess. Since what we are going to do is an entertaining fantasy work, these ugly parts can only be used as a measure, because what we really want to convey to everyone is “hope.” Whose heart is surrounded by the glory of the moment, just because it is fleeting and precious, and what we have been pursuing for a long time, it is reality, not fantasy. The work itself is more important than the result, which has a subtle difference. The word “enthusiasm” runs through the whole drama, and Barnag is struggling. “Even so, we as well…” The liberated soul is finally freed and disappeared. Although this kind of ending is a little embarrassing, but as a Newtype, he needs to fully reflect his role. .
If you use the era to explain the relationship between Oldtype and Newtype, the ancient bridge is like a father and son inheritance also has a variety of forms, this can be said to be the end of the “community in the universe” end of the ensemble Alright.
As the final chapter of the whole drama, the seventh chapter “On the other side of the rainbow”, the ancient bridge thinks that the biggest attraction is all the lines of Sayam of Nagai Ichiro and the “Soft Chest Touch” of the unicorn. As far as the robot battle film is concerned, it can be described as “there is no one before.” Plus the overall selection of performances. An image of the new Jean-Jean passing through time and space. The original paintings of the super-god of the village 濑 让 古 古I am more aware of the visual performance of the big picture effect, like the experience of the playground’s rides. .
As a small form of producer, the favorite is the scene of the new Jean-Jean and the unicorn. Armed confrontations. The ancient bridge revealed that the last unicorn used a hand knife for the protection of the joints, not in the imitation of the gold warrior Gold Lightan. This scene makes the small shape suddenly clear. .
New Jean’s multiple arms are not armed with armed arms. The main purpose is to obliterate the opponent’s intentions. With the size of Nakano Sun Plaza. Not moving like a mountain. It’s better to move faster than the sorrowful banshee, enough to make the opponent stunned. This is a super-original painting by Takaya Hiroshi, which is also accompanied by a middle sheet that is responsible for Japan. The small form indicates that robot animation should give priority to refreshment. .
Although the “UC” that spanned six years has taken the form of “Boy meets girl”, it is not the same as the general love story. In the first chapter, the encounter between Banerje and Audrey made Banaghi have the idea of trying to work for her. .
Ancient Bridge said that this is just a superficial surface. In fact, this scene confuses war as a “nest”. The urge to horrify and resist after the loss of the “nest”. From the words of Audrey who want to stop the war, Barnag felt his heart in his heart. This transcends personal love and is the bond of the soul. If there is no such relationship, they will not resonate in their hearts when they see the “Dame and the Unicorn.” Let’s take a look at this “Dame and Unicorn”. Four of the six are the ladies looking at the unicorn, and the other two are the ladies who touch the unicorn. So at the beginning, the lion, Lidi, who was driving the banshee, had no chance of winning. .
Although this is just an explanation of Guqiao personally, he believes that the encounter between Banaj and Minerva is not accidental, but inevitable. Even Gu Qiao believes that the image of Banaj is the crystallization of the desire of the Earth’s inhabitants in the real century and the desire to end the war. Minerva is the crystallization of the wishes of the inhabitants of the universe. The jewels taken out of the cabinet were named “real”. From the results, although the expected blueprint was completed, it was the biggest treasure to cherish this process. There is no more beautiful composition. .
Finally, Guqiao said that his father had only one wish for the child. The ancient bridge, which has not yet been a father, sent this wish to this work – “Imagination is an endless source.” Please let go of your vision and taste the work again. .
