PS: I just got a chance to go to Japan, all the way from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji in Hakone to Kyoto and then to Osaka. I rushed to the theater to watch "Your Name" the night before returning home. Seeing all the way in the movie, there is a magical feeling of breaking through the dimension wall. Especially at Lake Kawaguchi at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Hakone, a volcanic lake formed by volcanic eruption on a high mountain. Surrounding the lake is a small town. Hakone Shrine is hidden on the hillside. Standing under the torii gate of Hakone Shrine, there is a mirror-like lake in front of you. Last night In the movie, I saw the mountain lake where Sanye lived. The iconic big screens on the streets of Shinjuku, Sangenjaya, Jingu Gaien, JR Express Line, and Shinjuku, Tokyo, where the teenagers are located, are really strong. The usual intentions in Cheng Ge's movies: Flying vehicles, starry sky, sea of clouds, rapid and orderly flow of people, Shibi's tall buildings, shuttle trams, falling chalk scraps, none of them are missing. The teacher who appeared on the film gave me the illusion of Mr. Yukino. Let's talk about the story, it's perfect. After so many years, Brother Cheng finally made a normal movie, a movie that made me cry. It is different from the urgency of story narration in the previous three novels, and it is also different from the regret that there is only reality flow but not the world in the short story. Nearly 100 minutes of the film, the first 30 minutes explained the distance of space for the opening, another 30 minutes explained the distance of time for the turning point, and the climax broke out for another 30 minutes, and finally ended. The narrative is clear, the usual intentions have not fallen, and the opening turn has a foreshadowing. Moreover, the most commendable thing is that Cheng's previous films will stop at the turning point, leaving behind the regret of love but not being able to be lonely in the deep sea. But this time, Brother Cheng finally let go of the audience and let go of himself. So, Brother Cheng, you can really do it. Dividing line ------------------------------ Recently I saw an interview about Xin Haicheng, in which he put his own The audience is targeted at people over 25 years of age. I thought to myself, it's no wonder that when I watched it before, I looked indifferently and fast forward. What is it? The 43-year-old Makoto Shinkai’s new film "Your Name" was released today in Japan. "When I reach an adult age, I want to give what I once got to someone who is similar to what I used to be." A country girl and a city boy got up one day and found that they had exchanged souls and lived with each other. Life, at this time, a comet that will occur once in 1200 is about to descend on the earth...Although the resources are far away, but after reading the pilot novel version and the published pv, I can't help but feel: From the 2002 "Voice of the Stars", 14 years have passed, The fair-skinned and shy youth has become an uncle with a beer belly, and Xin Haicheng finally paid enough for the tuition. [Hello Animation] "I became obsessed with CG when I was 10 years old. I was still in elementary school. From then on I started to draw some simple illustrations in BASIC language." In 1996, Shinkai University graduated from the game company Falcom to study CG. . "At that time I was crazy about the 16-bit true color of the computer. The use of those wonderful colors in computer painting is really touching." In 1999, Xin Haicheng produced an 87-second black-and-white animation short film "Remote World", Xin Hai The image of sincerity is emerging: trams, roadblocks, sky, pedestrians, light and shadow, aircraft. "Sky, do you want to fly? This world is so beautiful, but it's unacceptable. Until I find my true partner, I stay there By my side. From the early summer to early winter of 1999, Xin Haicheng completed his hand-practicing short film "She and Her Cat" alone, with less than 5 minutes of black-and-white images, fragments of the life of a woman and a cat in four seasons, and Xin Haicheng's narrative style emerged: There is no ups and downs in the monologue, the arrogant empty mirror, the prose narrative, and the ethereal soundtrack. "I think I, probably she, too, I still like the world. [One advance and one retreat] In 2002, Makoto Shinkai, who had worked at Falcom for 5 years, resigned and created a 25-minute ultra-long independent animation "Voice of the Stars" in 7 months, creating the era of personal CG animation in Japan. The girl traveled on a battleship. In the cosmic battlefield 8 light-years away, the young people who stayed on the earth only rely on mobile phone text messages. The transmission time of text messages is getting slower and slower as the light years continue to expand. Eight years later, the young man received a text message: "Twenty-four years old. Ah Sheng, hello, I am fifteen-year-old Mei Jiazi. So far, I really like everything about A Sheng. "The young man is an adult. At this moment, he is about to set off and drive a warship to the universe. Eight years ago, he had learned that the space fleet was wiped out during the fight against the enemy, and the girl’s life or death was uncertain. "I clearly remember that, that. In summer, I regard eight years as eternity. "Xin Haicheng's theme is emerging: time and space are intertwined, communication barriers, love is always difficult to speak, love cannot be obtained. "When I first started creating "Voice of the Stars", I was still working in the company. If working in the company is a daily life, going home to create "Voice of the Stars" is like a non-daily life during the festival. I quit my job halfway and spent 7 months making it. My daily life is nothing more than creation. That is really a very happy thing. "How does one person make animation?

As an independent animation completed by oneself, "Voice of Stars" made Xinhaicheng's reputation and brought him into the path of animation supervision. This is a step forward. Two years later, in 2004, Makoto Shinkai brought a new work "The Other Side of the Cloud, the Place of Promise" that implemented the theme of the previous work. The boy driving a fighter plane rescued the girl who was trapped in a parallel world. "At the moment, what bothers me is how to create a good script." Makoto Xin's troubles are revealed in this 90-minute animation. The captured details and emotions presented in the fragmented images resonated with the short film "Voice of the Stars". In "Yunbi", Xin Haicheng tried to use prose narrative techniques to narrate these fragmented images, as well as occasionally insert narrative flashbacks, and the empty shots everywhere are interspersed in a patchwork manner, so that the whole film achieves a sense of dispersal. Rhythm of looseness. The sleeping girl is the key to parallel time and space. When the girl wakes up, the world is about to perish, save her or save the world? Good ideas that were concise and innovative are consumed in this fragmented, clueless plot. This is a retreat. [Two advances and two retreats] The thirteen-year-old train, the seventeen-year-old waves, and the twenty-seven-year-old passed by. In 2007, Xin Haicheng brought a new work "5 Centimeters Per Second" composed of three fragments, which is by far the most famous work by Xin Haicheng and the most well-known work in China. The strong and innocent feelings between people have more ardent meaning in a fragile world, because it will eventually die. The protagonist Guishu's first kiss under the 13-year-old cherry blossoms understood this inevitable despair. "At this moment, I want to share the feelings of these 13 years with Mingli, but the next moment after this is immense sadness. What lies before us is a huge and colossal life, and the vastness that blocks us. There is nothing we can do with time." Growth makes the body inert, everything is arranged in an orderly manner. In the closed and unfamiliar world, the world secretes inhuman factors, and the soul disappears from here. The grown-up noble tree could not get rid of this inhuman discomfort and poisoned calm, broke up with his girlfriend of three years, and resigned from the high-paying company where he was employed. "Even if a sentence is good, even if there is only one sentence, it is what I really need, but why doesn't anyone tell me." "In reality, we live in a society where we live without worry, and how we want to live is personal freedom. In such a society, if you can’t have a good relationship with others and there is no special reason, then you can only look for it in yourself. I want to find the feeling that I can’t find it, and leave it as it is in the film. Show up." In the spring, the still-declining noble tree walked past the cherry blossom trees under the railway, looked at the petals flying slowly, and suddenly remembered. There was a woman walking by, and the two passed by on the railway. At that moment, a faint light suddenly lit up in his heart. He slowly turned to look at the woman, and she slowly turned around. At the moment when hearts and memories were about to boil, the limited express train on the Odakyu Line blocked their vision. "After the tram passed, she should still be there. It doesn't matter whether she is there or not. If she is that person, it would be quite a miracle." In the end, the other party disappeared on the railway section, but was bathed in the cherry blossom rain in spring. , Guishu smiled.
Because, in this meaningless world, sober people will use absurd wine and indifferent bread to nurture their own greatness. Guishu smiled. He will continue to carry out adventurous actions in the long river of life, illuminating this desert and dominating it. This is where his territory lies. Xinhai's "Inside 5 Seconds" uses fragmented images to show Baiju's daily life, facing the anxiety and choice of meaningless life. Real works of art belong to people, and Xin Haicheng has done the best in telling the “minimal things”. This is a dual entry. I don't know whether this successful reality series gave Xin Haicheng a lot of confidence, or whether he learned about it when he went to the Middle East to participate in a seminar in 2008. In 2011, Xin Haicheng brought a new work "Children Chasing the Stars". If you don’t tell you that this is Makoto Shinkai’s work, you might be mistaken for the work of Hayao Miyazaki who was not awake and the sleepwalking Anno Rabbi who was not awake. The protagonist of the bun face inhales the LCL liquid, and in the underground world where the Ghibli-style grass and the Shinkai-style starry sky are mixed, with Lilith possessed, the ancestor of life who looks like a humanoid soldier discusses the grand theme of reincarnation of life and death. Xin Haicheng's repressive monologue has also become a girl yelling that I am very lonely, very lonely and very lonely. This masterpiece of magical realism is free from ordinary people's regrets about growing up and being unable to love. The emotional scene that Makoto Shinkai has been pouring into in the previous work can not be traced at all. The original intention of pursuing breakthrough is undoubtedly worthy of affirmation, but the pursuit of losing oneself is a step backwards. This is a second withdrawal. [Three and then after] Then Xin Haicheng himself also said that the audience reacted that the film was not shot well and the story was not clear. So Xin, with the idea of telling the story clearly, brought his new work "The Garden of Words" in 13 years. The down-to-earth and vigorous young man aims at making shoes, and encounters a professional woman who has been exhausted from walking and can't see where he wants to go. This is where you can see Xin Hai Chengcheng's work. In this film, Xin Haicheng finally tells a complete story. Compared with the fragmentary images in the short films and the expressions in the clouds and mists in the long stories, I finally tell a story with a complete succession and transformation. From the protagonist’s acquaintance-understanding-mutual affection-contradictory transition-climax eruption, inspired by the short song of "Many Leaves Collection", Shinjuku Garden Forest Park, rainy days in the rainy season, busy pedestrians, crowded trams, smooth and freehand. have to. More importantly, the protagonist of the film finally got out of deep sea autism. Although it is a taboo teacher-student relationship, it is very unlikely to be together in the future. But at the end of the film, Makoto Shinkai finally made the young man almost roared out, "You always do this, not mentioning important things, and then put on a nonchalant expression, stay alone all the time, spend your life!"
This is a big step for young people, and it is also a big step for Xin Haicheng. He finally told the story like a poem, and walked out of the deep sea loneliness that heart and heart were afraid to touch and could not touch. But this film also has regrets. The 60-minute space is not enough for a theater movie, and the motif of Xin Haicheng's time travel does not appear. After two years of production, Xin Haicheng brought a new film "Your Name" to make up for the above regrets. "I want to reflect the things I have experienced and felt in the past ten years. In Xin Haicheng's new film, the male protagonist is normal and the female protagonist is normal. Judging from the published pv, the picture is as high as ever, and the characters' movements are smooth, and He also joined his unforgettable time and space travel. The bright starry sky and meteor swarms that had always existed as a foil environment finally got rid of the fate of the empty mirror and played the key to the plot development in the film. The dramatic turn of the plot in the middle of the novel is amazing. As Xin Haicheng said, this is a work that can only be animated. The author also believes that this is a work that can only be brought by the unique Xin Haicheng that has been accumulated for many years. "Every time I make a new work, I You have to think about it, this must be a work that I can't make at the moment, and I have to think about it, I can definitely make this work now. I want to reflect the things I have experienced and felt over the past ten years in this work. "I want to give what I once got to someone who is similar to me, Xin Haicheng, I am looking forward to your new film.
