Volume 1 Chapter 202 Sumizi¡¯s Melancholy

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The popularity of "Fullmetal Alchemist" has certainly brought about another problem, and that is the problem of "Sumiko's Melancholy".  Such a "Su Meizi" can be said to be the product of Wen Xun's imagination. Although the idea of ??such a novel was not something Wen Xun saw in his dream, it is strange that the people at Kadokawa Bookstore have such a strong impression on them.  A brain-opening novel that Wen Xun wrote purely for his own pleasure was very interested. He even cried and shouted to ask Wen Xun to transfer the publishing rights in Japan to them. Kadokawa Bookstore even talked to Wen Xun.  Okay, if the sales performance reaches the target, the animation of "Su Meizi's Melancholy" will be produced, and as Wen Xun requested, each episode will have a different opening animation and ending animation.

    Wen Xun actually had a little expectation for such a thing, but because he had been busy with "Steel Refining" before, he didn't have much time to deal with such a new book.  Now that "Fullmetal Alchemist" is successfully selling out, Wen Xun finally has some time.  After he had time, of course he would first use it to prepare such a novel.  Originally, when "Melancholy" was decided to be an animated film, he had actually just written what was considered an outline for "The Melancholy of Sumiko", and in fact, the character's personality had not even been finalized.  Now that "Steel" has received a very good response after being aired, he played around in Japan to relax, and then returned to China to prepare for "The Melancholy of Sumiko".

    "Su Meizi's Melancholy" is, as mentioned before, not something Wen Xun saw in a dream, but the product of his wild imagination.  Originally, he wanted to write a character based on his sister.  The results are written and written.  Maybe it's because I've been fighting with my sister all day long since I was a child.  Therefore, Jia Hongjian subconsciously made the character based on his sister more and more out of line, and in the end it simply became a "female psycho".  Of course, the evaluation of such a "female psychopath" must be made by Wen Rou from her perspective, but from the perspective of others, such a character is quite interesting.  Even if she is crazy, she is still the kind of crazy and interesting little wildcat girl.

    To write a story about a girl going crazy, Jia Hongjian once wrote about a girl who went to high school on the first day and said that she had no interest in ordinary human beings.  If you are only interested in various superpowers, aliens and the like.  This will definitely make such a little girl crazy, right?  Not only that!  In fact, there are really a circle of "aliens" and "superpowers" around her. How funny is this? How nonsensical and imaginative is such a story?  It can be said that such a story is a novel that surprised Wen Xun and made Wen Xun feel various surprises.  Such a novel that surprises even the author may also surprise many fans in Japan?  Because this is kind of Stephen Chow's kind of illogical and nonsensical comedy?  Who knows, Kadokawa Shoten is willing to publish it anyway, why doesn¡¯t Jia Hongjian publish it?  It's not like he has to worry about whether Kadokawa Bookstore can make a profit. He's not the owner of Kadokawa Bookstore, right?

    It has come to such a time.  Wen Xun began to design and write seriously.  He first prepared various character charts and finalized the character's personality first.  In such a shaping process.  He was also lazy - he chose a more stereotyped way to shape the character's character. In other words, he adopted a method of defining the character traits first and then fleshing them out.  For example, if you want to set a female character, you may first set her character to be a cute one, and then carry out the supporting specific character design and related experience/family characters or history design work.  One advantage of doing this is to design products with the factory, so that various "products" can form a "sea of ??machines" strategy to cooperate with each other and improve the purpose of the manufacturer's products to occupy all levels of the consumer layer of the market.  .

    In fact, generally speaking, there are not many authors who use such a "set" in novels, because from the perspective of traditional literary and artistic creation, it is convenient and easy to create characters in such a "theme" first way.  It's okay, but it's also easy for the characters to become too rigid and not feel like real people.  This is a relatively exclusive approach in the traditional literary and artistic circles of China, Japan, or other countries.  According to the previous statement, it is to summarize typical characters, that is, to find several similar characters and merge them. They are characters originating from life and are an elevation and typical of the real characters originating from life.  change!

    But the process designed by Wen Xun is completely different. It¡¯s a bit like shooting a gun first and then drawing a target.  On the surface, such an approach certainly does not conform to the theory of literary and artistic creation, but who says that literary and artistic creation must conform to the theory of literary and artistic creation?  What customs are reflected in Stephen Chow¡¯s movies?What profound truth does love reflect?  No, it's just something for fun, it's entertainment that everyone thinks is fun. Why do you want it to be so real and serious?  In the 1960s and 1970s, Hollywood was still influenced by the left and reflected reality in various ways. However, in the late 1970s, it began to become more imaginary and romantic, and began to lose touch with reality and shoot imaginary things.  Are you pregnant?  Their protagonist design and so on, are they just how to refine typical characters?  No!  They are also designed more from a commercial perspective!

    ¡°For example, in some Hollywood blockbusters, they also design the protagonist¡¯s image from a commercial perspective or from an aspect that is most acceptable to consumers.  For example, for those tough guy protagonists like Arnold and Stallone, are there really such tough guys everywhere in the world?  also can not!  Isn't it possible to have a policeman or a firefighter or something like that, but just any tough guy?  Could it be that the protagonist in True Lies, who appears to be a salesman but is actually an agent, is real?  Do you just start from life and then improve it through art?  Not quite!  So we are doing this just for entertainment, so why do we do it seriously?  When we create, we know that such a character probably does not exist in the world. At the same time, after reading it, consumers also know that such a character probably does not exist in the world, but we can't write it?

    For example, the character Nagato Yuki was designed by Wen Xun to be a "three-no girl" - no words, no heart, and no expression.  Silence means basically not speaking. Even if you speak, you will use the fewest words to express what you want to say.  Wuxin does not mean that there is no heart, but that the inner feelings are invisible to others.  As for being expressionless, that is, having a poker face all day long, showing no emotion or anger, which makes people unable to understand their emotions, and even makes them feel that this person is indifferent to everything in the world.  To create such a character, Wen Xun actually designed her to be an alien character. She is also a robot made by aliens, and she was sent to study human society!  And if this happens, wouldn't it just happen that the heroine Sumiko is surrounded by aliens or people with super powers?  How interesting this is!

    Soon, after designing the origins of each of the characters, Wen Xun was ready to write the story according to the outline.  But after starting to write a chapter or two of the story, Wen Xun suddenly had a new idea.  What new idea?  That's why we should write stories in linear chronological order of story development?  After editing many of the films in other movies, the chronological order is disrupted!  Of course, if a normal movie is done like this, it will be more in the style of an art film, and it will feel like it will challenge the audience's IQ.  Although theoretically speaking, a novel like Wen Xun's and others seems to be mainly for entertainment and entertainment, and it seems that it should not be combined with such a feeling of challenging the audience's IQ.  It's just like Stephen Chow's movies don't mess with the timeline for editing, and don't engage in all kinds of artistic narratives!

    ¡°The films of such a famous Stephen Chow are all imprinted with his strong personal style.  In his films, the stories are basically told in a straightforward manner. Except for films like "Journey to the West" where the timeline has been slightly adjusted, the other films basically tell the stories honestly and in chronological order.  .  And a movie like "Westward Journey" was a big hit in Hong Kong back then, and the box office was a mess. That is to say, it was later spread to the mainland. As a result, it was rated very highly by a group of mainland college students, and it suddenly became popular in the mainland.  Woke up.  Except for such a special film, Stephen Chow's other films all tell the story honestly in order. Does this mean that such nonsensical things are better to tell the story honestly in chronological order?

    But the problem is that Wen Xun just wants to make a story that disrupts the chronological order!  His previous stories were all about storytelling in chronological order. Now that he can play with it once, he is very happy.  Originally, when we read a novel like this, we didn¡¯t do it to make money, we did it to make ourselves happy, okay?  Is it because Kadokawa Shoten is optimistic now that we must follow the market?  So should we be the boss or the hard work of money?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
