Follow “Your name. After that, the producer of “The Son of the Weather” was also served by Kawamura. Produced a number of popular movies such as “Advertising”, “Peach Blossom Period”, “Cosmic Brothers” and “Parasitic Beast”, and now it is an unshakable best-selling machine. In the new work “The Son of the Weather”, he continued to fight side by side with the new sea, and continued the success of the previous work

“Your name was released in 2016. “Beyond the imagination of the production team, not only won the national box office in Japan, but also won the recognition of national film festivals. At the same time, the main team has been discussing: “What should I do next?”

If you use Miyazaki’s work to make an analogy, “Your name. “Equivalent to the “Princess Mononoke” that set the box office record in 1997. Then, the next goal is the 2001 Spirited Away. According to this, Kawamura believes that the next work should be the work of Xin Haicheng’s writer

Unexpectedly, the answer to Xinhai that he waited for was “I want to be a king of entertainment.”

It is said that when Kawamura got the plot outline of Xinhai’s hand-in-hand, he felt that although this film was based on “Wang Dao Entertainment Film”, it would become a controversial work

In this work, I describe the struggle of young girls who would rather violate the theory of society and insist on self-selection. Chuancun thought, Xinhai really pays attention to a very uncomfortable place. The world today is becoming more and more difficult to breathe. As long as it is said to be unruly, it will be attacked by the crowd; in turn, it is easy for people to stand on the side of criticizing others. Kawamura himself hates this contradictory mentality, so after listening to Xinhai, he thought that he wanted to write a story that pointed to this point. He is very much looking forward to the audience to see the hero’s final action, what kind of evaluation will be given

Xinhai has the same perception. At the production conference, he declared that he had to be the “most orthodox entertainment film”, but at the production report meeting, he also commented that the new work is “a movie with disagreements.” It can be seen that there are contradictions in what kind of works to be made in Xinhai’s own heart. He wants to be a popular route, and it is a crying and laughing, happy and moving entertainment piece. This is his true heart; the conclusion will lead to controversy, and this is his true heart. In Kawamura’s view, it is possible to create a wonderful balance of two contradictory feelings. Perhaps it is the writer’s character of Xinhaicheng

Many people think that it is the production power of Kawamura’s vitality, and that the niche director Xin Haicheng has been drawn to the public’s line, and that you have your name. The success of the book. For example, “Your name. At the end of the rumor, it is said that Xinhai was supposed to be the story of the male and female masters who passed the “five centimeters per second”, but Kawamura’s intervention in force corrected the ending

For this misunderstanding, Kawamura has already made a negative statement, saying that Xinhai has already decided to do so at the beginning. It’s better to say that in recent times, Xinhai itself is more like an entertainment industry, and Kawamura has become a person who wants him to do something tall, so that the supervision and producer positions have reversed

As a producer, Kawamura will certainly put forward various ideas to stimulate the director’s creation. But, in “Your name. The same is true. Xinhai was interviewed and said, “This is the idea that Mr. Kawamura wanted to come out.” Kawamura himself had no impression at all. Everyone’s ideas are mixed together and they become the final work. Because they have been working together for a long time, Kawamura does not distinguish between who is the opinion

When making “The Son of the Weather”, Xinhai will also feel confused, and I don’t know which direction the show should go. When the material received is confused, Kawamura will not give his own answer, but will ask a straightforward question: “Where is it wrong?”

Kawamura believes that the audience is very cruel. Many times, even if the creator explains how he or she has made such a work, the audience will only feel that “I don’t know why it is not good anyway.” He himself may also be interested in imitating this perspective of the general audience. The reason why he did not give an answer is very simple, because he wants to see what Xinhai will do before he makes films with him. Kawamura himself writes novels and scripts, and shows his purity in these works. So when he is making a movie with Xinhai, he will be interested in how Xinhai will give a “correct answer.”

Therefore, Kawamura said that if he said that he had made a major contribution, he would let RADWIMPS and Xinhai meet

The music of Son of the Weather is also served by RADWIMPS. However, in fact, Kawamura originally considered the possibility of changing the author of the music. It was that Shino had sent the first draft of the script to RADWIMPS for the impression of the first draft of the script, and Noda wrote the song as an answer, and it was settled once and for all. One of the songs that Noda sent at that time was to become the theme song of the movie “Loveにできることはまだあるかい” (for love, what else can I do). When Kawamura heard the song, he felt: “This piece is stable.” From the title of the song, he surprised him: You have sent such a question to Xin Haicheng, who has been filming a love film. This is also very contradictory, making him interesting

Whenever RADWIMS makes a new song, Xinhai will be triggered and the protagonist’s lines will change. Kawamura felt that the picture and music interacted with each other, forming an interesting multiplication effect of musical drama. The scene in which the picture is layered with the music layer is the essence of Xinhai Animation, which makes Kawamura move

The main character of this article is 声 汰 和 和In recent years, large-scale animated films often use famous actors to make voices for the main characters; but “The Son of the Weather” pays more attention to whether the sound is suitable for the role, and has auditioned the scale of 2,000 people, and finally selected the two now. In this way, the acting skills they recorded are very different from the stable acting skills of the 20-year-old actor in the ten-year-old character, but they are as fast as the weather, with a sense of insecurity, but actually more than ten. Older people will make a living acting

The first time I learned that the theme of the new work was “Weather”, Kawamura’s first reaction was to “see the ‘new sea cloud’ to see enough.” At least as far as he knows, painters who can describe the cloud as a biologically diverse and fascinating painter are rare in the world. The rain in “Yi Ye Zhi Ting” also left a deep impression on him. Therefore, he is very much looking forward to what kind of image the new work will become

The title of the new work, “The Son of the Weather,” was settled by Kawamura and Shinkai while drinking. At the beginning, the two wanted to add the word “weather” to the title, so they listed candidates such as “Weather You” and “Weather Lovers”. But chatting and chatting, they began to think: “Is this work a simple love story?” It seems that this is not the case

I don’t know if it’s fortunate or unfortunate because of your name. The popularity of the book, this work must be made to the world. In this case, we must choose the common theme of the world. The theme of the new sea election is “weather.” The weather is a huge phenomenon on the scale of the earth. Although human beings have made such great technological advances, they will still be manipulated by the weather. Do not say that they interfere with the weather as they please, and even the forecast weather is not allowed

So, since you have to face such a universal theme, you can’t take the title of “Weather Rainy” or “Weathering Lovers”, which can only express the title of the actress Tianye Yangcai, but at the same time It is also symbolic, implying our human beings who can only survive in the palm of the weather. So the two thought of the title of “the son of the weather.”

A lot of viewers watched the movie and would care about it: the work did not describe the past of the protagonist’s sail, nor did he mention that he would leave home because of what. Xinhai has been hesitant about whether or not to describe the past of the sail, but Kawamura said “I don’t think it is necessary” and gave him the courage to abandon these descriptions

Kawamura believes that it is because of the “Your name” that more than 19 million people have watched. After the movie, he hopes that “The Son of the Weather” will become the “party movie” of many viewers. He told Xinhai that everyone, when they were young, had the urge to leave their home, school and city. Therefore, in the work and the specific description of the past story, it is better not to write at all, let the person watching to fill the plot with his own life. In the movie, there is also a role like Suga. I once had the same idea as Sail, but I finally chose to compromise with the society. He hopes that the adult audience will also recall the memories of what they once had for someone. He hopes that no matter whether it is a child or an adult, even a grandfather and grandmother, everyone can become the “party” of the film. With this wish, he and Xinhai decided what to describe and what to describe

In the view of Kawamura, Xinhai is a painter. Animations have paintings, background art, CG and various special effects photography; but the images produced by so many processes, once adjusted by Xinhai, will immediately become completely different. Now, Hollywood is making a real-life version of your name. 》. Americans often ask Kawamura: “How did it come about?” and Kawamura did not understand at all. What did Xinhai do and how to do it would have such a picture. He only knows that the picture of Xinhai always touches him: “It turns out that the sky in this person’s eyes is this color.”

“The Son of the Weather”, whether it is the blue sky that often appears and the dark sky that rains, or the evening sky that is stained with red and orange, is not worthy of the reputation of Xinhaicheng, very beautiful. Coupled with a slightly backlit character, the worldview of the work is vividly expressed. As long as you look at the 10-second screen, anyone can see it: “This is the work of Xin Haicheng.” The creators with such strong personality are rare

Although Xinhai will hear all kinds of opinions from Noda Yojiro and Kawamura, as well as various noises from the outside, he has his own clear world view, no matter what others say, it will not waver; At the same time, he has a soft body that can listen to the necessary opinions and absorb them. The charm of Xinhai’s works is also inseparable from this attitude

Following “Your name. After the success of the “,” the world’s attention to making new works, although there are pressures, but this situation is rare, Sichuan Village is also happy. He personally believes that “The Son of the Weather” is a very punk work, I hope that everyone can feel the rebellious challenge when watching
