Dream Agent——Jin Minwen
/yakumo=A
few years ago, I talked to people about the film "Perfect Blue". Most of my friends would tell me that it was the supervision of Otomo Keyang, and I would correct it every now and then. But at that time, Mr. Jin Min's fame was indeed beyond the reach of today. At that time, we were only familiar with Hayao Miyazaki Otomo Katsuhiro and Oshii Mamoru. Hayao Miyazaki’s films were full of fairy tales and full of vivid tension. Otomo Katsuhiro’s films were meticulous in detail and the screens were amazing but the script had a kind of unspeakable rejection. Oshii Mamoru The theme of the film is heavy and close to realism and rich in thought. We can't comment on Jin Min yet, because we knew very little at that time. After pursuing it carefully, the mottled path behind him also began to slowly emerge in front of him.
Kon Satoshi was born in Hokkaido on October 12, 1963. After entering Musashino Art University at the age of 19, he began to publish manga on "YOUNG MAGAZINE". In 1990, Kodansha released his first personal manga "The Return of the Sea" (*Note 1), and in the same year, he used the animation "Old Man Z" (*Note 2) supervised by Otomo Katsuhiro to set the role of art in the same year. Entered the animation industry for the first time. Before his debut work "Perfect Blue" was born, there were 7 years of obscurity, so chances are for those who are prepared. In the past 7 years, he has tried both in the animation and comics industries. In 1991, Kodansha released his second booklet "World Apartment Horror" (*Note 3), which was also featured in the anime "Running Melos" The layout of the middle office. The next few years were very important years in Mr. Jin Min’s career: "Her Memories" script, art setting and design in Otomo Katsuyo's "Memories"; layout in "Mobile Police Patlabor2"; "JOJO Bizarre Adventure" OVA The script, storyboard, and performance of Chapter 5 (yes, you read it right). After that, he temporarily bid farewell to animation and continued to create manga. The unfinished serialization of "セラフィム~266613336の Wing~" on "ANIMAGE" of Tokuma Bookstore (*Note 4) from the May 1995 issue to A total of 16 times were serialized in the November 96 issue. The original story is Mamoru Oshii; in the spring of 1995, a total of 19 times of the work "Opus" (*Note Figure 5) was serialized on "コミック・ガイズ", but unfortunately they seem to be all There is no one-way book, and there are very few people who have seen it.
In his early years, Mr. Jin Min was exploring in animation and manga. It is said that he became obsessed with the Gundam animation series in high school and started his artistic career. However, the works of Mr. we are seeing now do not have the shadow of robot animation. This is due to the influence brought by the live-action movies of the college years. So when we saw Jin Min’s animation, we felt more of the atmosphere of the movie, and he was more like a film director. Speaking of this, I turned a corner. Animation itself is a branch of the movie. I have discussed the similarities or differences with many friends. One question always lingers in my mind: If an animation script can be used by real people. Instead of performing, is it really necessary for the original artist and animators to draw it frame by frame? My answer to myself is that animation has an unparalleled innate advantage when it comes to expressing shots that cannot be taken in reality, but it can be artistically abstracted and processed at any time when expressing reality. Nowadays, movies and animations have gone from the earliest. Related to the current fusion of comics and comics, the boundaries are getting smaller and smaller. Many practitioners in the animation industry are also learning the use and editing of film lenses. Mr. Jin Min is a prominent representative of it. One of the outstanding features of the animation he supervised is magical realism. The "play in play" of "Perfect Blue" and "Millennium Actress", and the invasion of reality by fantasy in the TV work "The Delusion Agent" are all good examples. And he also maximized the most gorgeous effect of montage, making people intoxicated or immersed in the carefully created environment of the entire film.
First supervision work-"Perfect Blue" (*Note 6) In
1997, Jin Min returned to the animation industry again, and as the first animation supervisor, he won wide acclaim in the industry for his excellent "Perfect Blue". "PB" should be classified as a suspense thriller according to the classification of the movie. The very famous director of this genre is Hitchcock, so for a long time we nicknamed the suspense thriller Hitchcock (laughs). Quite a part of this type of film is based on mental cases to firmly attract the audience. Psychology is a broad and profound knowledge. To be able to write a script into an excellent psychological film requires the script writer to have considerable attainments. Like the "Silent Lambs" series, you will feel the fear caused by the unknown in the play, and you will substitute yourself into the protagonist of the film's perspective in a form of psychological mapping.
In order to allow the perfect combination of reality, illusion, and dream without leaving any flaws, the film adopts the "play in play" method, using Wei Ma as an actor to enable the audience to compare the reality of Wei Ma and the play "Double Mind" (*Note Figure 7) The position of Yoko Takakura creates confusion, deliberately blurring reality and illusion, so that the three keywords "fallacy, terror and incitement" mentioned by Min Min accompany the audience from beginning to end, and the tension can be eliminated until the end of the film With a sense of horror. "In the film, the substitution of identity is cleverly used, and the Wei Ma on the stage is shaped into a split personality. The audience takes for granted the scenes of the confrontation between Wei Ma’s past self and the real self as a manifestation of personality split. In fact, it is true. Separation of identity barriers’ will never show two selves at the same time. The idol’s “Weian” is the hallucinations and auditory hallucinations of Weian, a typical manifestation of hysteria... The most successful thing in "PB" is to put the lens in the future. Ma’s dream and reality are switched back and forth, and Hyeri, Liumei, and Me-Mania all have almost similar opponents in succession, so that the audience does not know why, but also obtains the expected dramatic effect." ("Related to
also questioned the phenomenon of the Japanese show business. A friend once vowed that he would never set foot in this circle after watching "PB" (laughs).
In the "Memories" "Reminiscence of the Girl", Jin Min's participation and the collaboration of Otomo Katsuyo in "PB" can feel the consistency in shaping the fallacy to a certain extent. Jin Min combined the magnificent picture of master Otomo Keyang with his own unique montage and successfully became the master. (*Picture 8)
The true meaning of water lilies-"Millennium Actress" (*Note picture 9)
The shock I got in this film is not enough to express in words. Jin Min started to produce this original animated film in 1998, and until it was released in 2002, it made everyone in the world marvel at it, and a feast of imagination and revolution made everyone boiling. "Millennium Actress" made Minami acclaimed, and he became a figure similar to that of famous animators such as Hayao Miyazaki in one fell swoop. At the same time as "Spirited Away", he won the Grand Award in the Animation Department of the Media Art Festival of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, the Best Animation Award of the 6th Fantasia Film Exhibition, the Art Innovation Award, and the 33rd Orient Express Award for the Best Asian Film Award Awarded, the Best Animation Award at the Pan-Asian Film Festival, and the Fantasy Film Festival in Canada and Spain. The charm of this film can't be described in the beautiful words and trophies...
Why do I use water lilies as the title? Maybe many people can't think of why. But in fact, water lilies play a decisive role in this film. The lead character of the story, Tachibana, also plans to make a documentary about Fujiwara Chiyoko. Before his interview with Chiyoko, who is more than ancient, he brought a precious gift to her. It was Chiyoko's lifelong spiritual sustenance. In the conversation, Tachibana told the audience that his company name is LOTUS, which is water lily. The still images of the water lilies in the pool where Chiyoko lived in seclusion also flashed back into the audience's eyes many times. The flower language of water lily is innocence, and its metaphor is Chiyoko. Like the protagonist of "PB", Chiyoko is also an actor. The director naturally introduces the drama into the film again. The interplay of drama and life has become the most fascinating part of the film.
Chiyoko's life seems to have been blessed by gods and Buddhas. The experience of life is always accompanied by earthquakes. She was born with the Great Kanto Earthquake. She was "very predestined" with Tachibana after the earthquake. She began to prepare for the new after the earthquake. The pursuit. At this point, I couldn't help being touched by this innocence and perseverance... Chiyoko met a painter in the Huaji era and helped the painter escape the pursuit of the thought police. In her own warehouse, when the young man described her dream, the girl was infected and regarded it as her dream. The painter promised her that in return for her life-saving grace, when peace came, she would be invited to go to her hometown to complete the beautiful snow scene together. The important prop of the film is the key. The painter accidentally lost it on the snow while escaping. Chiyoko took this sustenance to pursue the youth as an opportunity to enter the film industry, reflecting her personal experience, historical situation and Japanese movies in the film plot. History of development. The footage of the movie is cut through the opening of the "door", allowing her to shuttle through the millennia of time and space, running non-stop between the real and the imaginary, following the trace of Lord Key.
The modeling of the characters in "Thousands" follows the simple typicality. In the poster, the mole under the corner of Chiyoko's eye recognizes the uniqueness of the character in a very simple way, making people unforgettable. It is worth mentioning that one of the second-line idol groups in "PB" that is not numb also has a mole under the corner of his eye, which is the opposite of Chiyoko. Maybe since then, the image of Chiyoko has slowly formed in Minami's mind. The music of this film is made by Hirasawa, and the perfect embedding of the picture and the beautiful main melody make the film icing on the cake. And when the theme song "LOTUS-2" of the same name is played, I believe that the innocence in everyone's heart will be proved by tears. And the story of Chiyoko will stay in our memory forever.
Run, run, until these legs no longer belong to me, until this last swim breathe. In the agreed place, in the vast pure white scenery, an indescribable feeling makes people imitate the distant interstellar. On the barren surface of the moon, an easel was supported on it, and the moonless snow in the painting was turning around. The wind had blown, and the man had gradually gone away. (*Photo 10)
Warm tea-"The Godfather of Tokyo" (*Note 11)
Jin Min was highly anticipated after the "Millennium Actress", and "The Godfather of Tokyo" has naturally become the focus of people.
The film tells the story of three Tokyo tramps, Jin, Ahua, and Miyuki, who accidentally picked up an abandoned baby girl. The three experienced countless coincidences and tribulations and finally found the birth parents for the baby girl. Many people commented that this film is Jin Min’s transition from magical realism to realism, but in fact this film still follows the director’s personal ideas, and has made fresh attempts to a considerable extent. There are countless coincidences in the story. And accident is an artistic treatment to highlight the drama.
To a certain extent, the film alludes to the reality of Japanese society, the lives and experiences of certain people at the bottom, with great humanistic caring spirit. Through a period of wonderful but reasonable coincidences and encounters, every small accident is like an irresistible force, leading to an unknown future with everyone's doubts. And from it, the past of the three people is naturally drawn, and the attraction of a little bit of peeling and silking leads to the climax of the film. The vivid personalities of the characters are more vividly off the screen, especially the haiku that Ahua creates and recites after each episode, which is deeply remembered by this intelligent "woman".
The film production lineup is also very luxurious. The script comes from Nobumoto Keiko, who owns the masterpiece "White Line Stream". I believe that if I say "Cowboy Bebop", "Wolf's Rain" and other names, more people will join the ranks of surprises; the music is from Takeshi Kitano's "Zatoshi" Keiichi Suzuki, who worked on the soundtrack, still remembers the perfect combination of percussion and sunrise in the film; the character design was completed by Toshi Kon and the animation supervisor of "Millennium Actress" Kenichi Konishi; in addition, " "Spirited Away" animation supervisor Masaji Ando, and "Tanuki Wars" animation supervisor Nobuharu Otsuka also joined the production ranks, which can be described as a large collection of representative figures in the Japanese animation industry. (*
Picture 12) A new attempt-TV work "The Delusion Agent" (Note Picture 13)
After "Tokyo Godfather" once again won the success for Jin Min, he chose a new attempt. This is also his first time to supervise the TV version of animation. "Agent of Delusion" is also an animation of magical realism, which emphasizes the influence and erosion of phantoms on the real world. Now that all 13 episodes have been screened, the animation author who asked to keep the mystery will not write. What impressed the author was a funny story in which three people agreed to commit suicide together. If I have the opportunity next time, I will explain the length of the 13 episodes slowly for the readers. Moreover, because the music was recreated by Hirasawa, it is naturally impressive. His latest work is the soundtrack of "Branded Warrior" on PS2, which is still remarkable.
For
the relationship between the ending length, the topic has been decided to end here. Director Jin Min’s future path is full of expectations and brilliance. He also hopes that more people will have the opportunity to enjoy his unique films. Here is my friend Kk’s great assistance in translation
