"Wealth, fame, power, the man who once owned everything in this world, the'One Piece' Goldo Roger, said before his execution, people rushed to the sea: "Is my wealth? If you want it, you can give it all. You! Go find it, I put everything there!” So more and more people rushed to the sea, and the world ushered in the “Era of the Big Pirate”!” On August 4, 1997, the "One Piece" comic One sentence also opened the era that belongs to it.
The protagonist of "One Piece" is Luffy. His dream is to find One Piece and become the One Piece. Later, Sauron who wants to become the world's largest swordsman, Nami who wants to map her own world, Usopp who wants to be a truly brave sea warrior, Sanji who looks for the sea of miracles, All Blue, wants to be " Chopper of the omnipotent doctor, Robin who is looking for the historical text, Frankie who wants to build a dream ship, and Brooke who must meet the whale "Rab" by appointment have become partners of Luffy to realize their dreams. Embark on an adventure together. This pirate group of only nine members has conquered several generations in the real world while becoming famous in the world described by Oda Eiichiro.
Japan conducted a questionnaire survey on the content of "Which manga do you want your children to read", and the final result "One Piece" ranked first. The reason for choosing One Piece was that the 20-year-old said that “One Piece has a deep description of the importance of friendship and what justice is”. The 30-year-old believes that “this work is a textbook of life”, and the 40-year-old said "I hope that One Piece will let the children understand the importance of companions." In terms of the influence of "One Piece", the results of this survey can be said to be global.
"One Piece", which has been serialized for 15 years, has been published in more than 30 translation versions in the world, with a cumulative circulation of more than 200 million copies; in Japan, it has even become a teaching material for "human rights education". In terms of theatrical version, the 11 movies that have been released have a box office of more than 1.7 billion yuan. The hottest enemy: Z may eventually exceed 7 billion yen (approximately 508 million yuan) at the box office. The lead singer of this movie is Canadian singer Avril Lavigne, known as the "Little Pop Queen". The joining of international singers represents the far-reaching influence of "One Piece", but also successfully promotes it to the world. On the other hand, animation derivatives are everywhere: from posters, ornaments, models to jewelry, theme restaurants and even theme parks. In Oda Eiichiro's annual income, the licensing fees for peripheral derivatives amount to 9 million U.S. dollars. These achievements made the cartoonists who debuted in the same period sighed that "one mountain cannot hide two tigers".
The hot-blooded anime "One Piece" that tells adventurous stories can gain excellent reputation and results for a long time, and have a profound impact. What is its charm?
1. The fascinating plot
The stage of "One Piece" is an extremely open world. This world is intentional by the author. It is precisely because of the openness that one can build detailed or grand scenes, set various characters, construct different types of stories, and have enough space to leave a foreshadowing.
The plot of "One Piece" is a solid foundation for its success. With his rich imagination, the author has set up stories with different chapters, constantly attracting readers with twists and turns: At this moment the Straw Hat Pirates return to the ground from the sky island, the next moment you find that they are in a naval fortress! This episode finally defeated some strong players, thinking that the Boss was ready to debut, but in the next episode you will see the defeated enemies plan to detonate the entire building and die with Luffy and them! When recalling the past, you only know how bizarre the encounter between two people who are bound by fate can be; you will understand what the success or failure of this battle means for both sides... At the same time, there is an appropriate amount of white space to give the readers personal imagination space, which is the success of the plot setting.
On the other hand, the author is good at leaving a foreshadowing, and this foreshadowing is often revealed only after many episodes. The whale "Rab" appeared when Luffy and they had just entered the great route, and knew that the reason it kept hurting itself was to find a former partner. And this partner is Luffy’s eighth partner Brook, spanning nearly 300 episodes back and forth. If you follow the speed of one episode of the animation every week, this foreshadowing has been "sleeping" for more than 6 years. In other words, in the early stage of creating "One Piece", Eiichiro Oda had already conceived the content of the next 350 episodes. This kind of plotting ability cannot but make people admire.
2. The spirit of the characters is moving
"One Piece" is a passionate anime that makes people laugh and cry. Laughing is because of various interesting things in their adventure, and crying is moved by their spirit.
There is only one "king". In the "Era of Big Pirates", how many people stood side by side and dared to shout "I will be the king of Shanghai Pirates"? When a 17-year-old kid introduces himself to others, "I am the man who wants to be the king of Shanghai thief" is an inevitable statement, and said it simply and confidently. Even though people would be laughed at, Luffy never changed his mantra. For this simple and simple dream, he tried his best in every battle, never escaped, and made himself stronger. However, Luffy has never been conceited. He will not despise anyone because of victory or strength. He will not show off his success and treat anyone with an equal attitude. It is this true self-confidence, persistence and persistence to dreams that have allowed him to get more and more partners in this sea, and let every member of the pirate group respect and obey him who gave them full respect and freedom. The special captain.
Luffy’s eight partners have their own dreams, and their dreams have also been ridiculed and denied: Nami's dream is almost shattered because of being controlled by the murloc; Sanji is bullied by other cooks because of her dreams; Brook has only one set of bones left, and was ridiculed by Ryoma as "a man who can't keep his promises"...but in their hearts they have not given up their dreams, because that is what supports them to live in a difficult situation. belief. It is precisely because of this persistence that Luffy will do everything possible to make them a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, but never force them. They made the choice of Luffy's invitation according to their own hearts, and at the same time they made the choice, they had made the consciousness of sacrificing for their companions.
During their adventure, they met Princess Vivi who was struggling to stop the country’s civil strife, the uncle who believed that the Golden Bell exists on the island of the sky even though humiliated, the old man who wanted to see the sunshine again in the rest of their lives, and so on. They thought for themselves. The perseverance of thinking and perseverance deeply touched everyone, allowing the Straw Hat Pirates to fight side by side with them without complaint and help them achieve their dreams.
The characters in "One Piece" are firm-willed, unremitting efforts, sincere feelings, positive attitudes, and positive thinking. They move everyone not only in the fictional world, but also in the real world. Readers are inspired by their Feeling sad because of the loss, excited by their battle, moved to tears by their success.
3. Fits with realistic emotions
"One Piece" is the same as other hot-blooded animations in terms of character creation, deliberately exaggerating a certain aspect of the character's personality. Luffy's self-confidence, Sauron's persistence, Chopper's cuteness and so on. The reason for this treatment is that the author realizes that these aspects are things that people lack and don't have in reality.
In the reality of the material world, many people gradually lose themselves in the busy day and night, forget their original dreams, and go with the flow. When these high-speed spinning tops stopped one day, would they still have the courage to dream, or would they have been cowardly dreaming for fear of being laughed at?
Today, as the gap between the rich and the poor is becoming more and more obvious, people who consider themselves superior because of their wealth and status are everywhere, and there are also many people who consider themselves humble. When one day, when they sit together and become a team, will pretentious people think about why the other party has to endure these pains, and will those who feel inferior think about why they can’t enjoy certain rights?
In reality, people have lost a lot of things: confidence, courage, hard work, friendship, trust... When people feel empty in some ways, they can find some comfort in the fictional world. In "One Piece", readers of all kinds can find resonating characters, find all kinds of emotional comfort from each story, and get all kinds of emotional inspiration.
Every partner joining has a special story that belongs to everyone. Sauron wanted to work with his best friend for the goal of being the world's best swordsman, but his best friend died unexpectedly. He asked the teacher to give his best friend's sword to himself, "I will work hard with her to become the world's best. Jianhao, let my name resound from heaven!" Chopper was expelled by the same kind because he came with a blue nose. After eating the fruits of everyone, he wanted to get along with humans in a human form, and was also called a "monster". ". When Chopper was hurt physically and mentally, he lost hope in his life. He met the quack doctor Shiruluk. He not only taught Chopper’s medical skills, but also healed Chopper’s trauma. In the end, he died because of the ruler’s despicable joke. ·····Stories that make people's chest warm are conveying feelings of friendship, equality, family affection, courage, etc., and these are precisely the emotions that people lack or distrust at the moment.
Since the establishment of the Straw Hat Pirates, since they called each other companions, they are a whole. For the sake of partners, for the sake of dreams, even if I bet on my own life, I will not hesitate. Their friendship is the absolute trust that can be trusted to each other; as long as their backs appear in front of them, they will give people a sense of security. "As long as life is there, everyone can do or can't do things. I will do the things you can't do, and you will do the things I can't do!" "I do my part. Next, it’s your turn. If you don’t do well, I’ll beat you up. If you have this kind of determination, you can be considered a team spirit!" These classic words well interpret the connotation of team spirit. Therefore, in "One Piece", They are all determined to do what they should do.
"One Piece" uses action rather than preaching to tell us these profound truths. It is precisely because most of us lack and do not believe in these emotions and spirits, and do not have the confidence and courage of the people in the Straw Hat Pirates, and the persistence and persistence of dreams, that is why we feel that these are so real and so touching in the comics. . Readers think that the people in the anime are very handsome, and this "handsome" has largely transcended the appearance of these characters, and touched their spirit. The perfect fit with real emotions makes "One Piece" resonate greatly with readers of all ages, which is also its greatness.
Fourth, the representative logo is clear
Before "One Piece" appeared, or many people would think that the one piece banner was a simple skull pattern. But in "One Piece", the various flags that appeared are surprising: the original skull pattern in the one piece flag is just the basic element, and black is not a fixed background color. Adding different patterns represents different characters.
For example, the world’s strongest pirate White Beard, his pirate flag represents a skull with a white beard; the Four Emperor’s red-haired pirate flag is a skull with three red scars on the right eye and two western knives on the back. His appearance and characteristics are related to the weapons he wears; Luffy’s Pirate Banner is a skull with a straw hat, highlighting his most obvious characteristics. When the various pirate flags appear, readers can judge who is now gathered together, without the need for the author to spend more time to outline these characters.
In addition, when setting the characters, Eiichiro Oda carefully matched them with exclusive features. Luffy’s straw hat, Sauron’s three earrings, Sanji’s curly eyebrows, Usopp’s long nose, etc., as long as you make a close-up of these features in the picture, you will know who is on the scene. These settings are simple and vivid, and people will remember them at a glance.
The representative logo is very clear, making it easy for readers to remember the main characters, and also easy to grasp the relationship between the characters in each unit story. Even if "One Piece" is regarded as a member of the fast food culture, it can meet the needs of such readers-as a reader The next time you look at it, as long as you see the representative sign, you will know who is doing what at this stage. On the other hand, these signs have also become the signs of animation peripheral items, and customers can choose the products they want based on the patterns.
In an interview with Japanese local media, Oda Eiichiro told reporters that after the 40 episodes of Fishman Island, the protagonist will enter the new world. The initial plan is 13 years, and 2025 will usher in the end of One Piece. Today, this hot-blooded anime has a lot of "loyal" readers, and they have a unified name-"sea fans". In the next 13 years, "Sea Fan" will introduce this rare work in its own way, so as to attract more people to watch "One Piece" and expand its scope of influence. In this way, "One Piece" will instill various positive spirits into more people, and have a greater impact in height and breadth.
Japanese hot-blooded animation has influenced generations of people with the spirit of "friendship, hard work, and victory". "One Piece", "Naruto", "Slam Dunk", "Dragon Ball" and other animations have a common feature: if you don't give up, there is hope. As Japanese animation moves to the world, the values of bravery, kindness, struggle, hard work, and responsibility that have always been implemented in animation have also been passed on to readers around the world. Readers of different ages and different personalities can resonate in the role of passionate animation. At the same time, Japanese hot-blooded anime is a growing animation. Readers are growing and authors are growing. The authors project their own experiences and thoughts in the works, so that the plot reflects the current situation and changes in society. Even if serialized for several years or decades, the authors and The gap between readers is not great. The emotional resonance and tacit atmosphere make Japanese hot-blooded animation attract readers of all ages, not only in Japan, but also in the world, it has a profound impact, maintains its vigorous vitality and endures for a long time.
