Let me start with a little science.
Do you know, what is the most valuable IP in the world?
Is it the "Reunion 4" that has just swept countless film history records?
Or the veteran "Sci-Fi Religion" and "Star Wars" series?
nonono.
When these two are added together, it has just been evenly matched.
Pokémon .
In 1999, it appeared on the cover of Time magazine.
Its soul "person" Pikachu became the second most influential person of the year .
By 2003, the image of Pikachu alone could make 800 million U.S. dollars a year.
"Forbes" stamped and certified "the most profitable virtual character of the year" .
In 2016, it launched a game that made countless teenagers stay away at night (by mistake) .
Bull not bull?
There are even better ones.
It not only makes people addicted, but also makes people tear B——
As soon as the first trailer was released, the comments immediately became annoying:
How did this Pikachu grow hair?
How can this Pikachu speak?
Why is this Pikachu so "cheap"?
To be honest, today's article is difficult to write.
Don't blame anything else.
I am really a sister, I can't help but stare at each picture for a long time...
All right.
Moe has also been sold.
Closer to home, Sister Tiao will take everyone today to answer the "three souls".
Look at the "Pikachu" you don't know much about.
01
You don't know me at all, you just want to punch me
This time, let's solve two.
First, "there is no hair" .
Adjust the calendar forward to 1989 .
Nintendo, one of the world's three major video game giants, launched the GameBoy game console.
Within 2 months, it has swept over tens of millions of sales.
Don't be embarrassed, Sister Tiao knows you must have played.
At the same time, an avid enthusiast Tomo Tajiri joined Nintendo and established GameFreak, a game development department.
The characteristics of the game console's "online communication battle" reminded him of the experience of catching insects and exchanging insects when he was a child.
Well, it is probably similar to our "fight cricket" .
Based on this idea, he developed the first version of the "Pokemon" game.
but.
The aesthetics of a straight steel man is too unreliable.
For the monster image of this version of the game, no one is too much to pay for it.
Just catching up, new game consoles of the same category have been released one after another, and sales are even worse.
At this time, the entire ACG (animation, manga, and game) industry saved lives——
The release of the extra-special comic "Pipi Biography" , on the contrary, caused a round of popularity.
You have seen it too.
At this time, our protagonist is not even C.
But soon, plans for an animation were put on the agenda.
This time, it won with high votes and became the core of the cartoon "Pokemon" .
Pikachu .
According to designer Atsuko Nishida, its name comes from the Japanese word "pika" , which means electric spark.
"Chu" is the sound of a mouse calling.
(The one who doesn't want to show his face in the middle is Nishida Atsuko himself)
Its prototype is a squirrel .
When I saw the round dessert at home, I tried to lengthen it visually and add a pair of cute ears to give it some squirrel characteristics.
Since it is a squirrel, it must be hairy .
Pikachu's Wikipedia also said very clearly-
"Fur" means fur and fur.
Look at how Pikachu looks when it discharges in the animation, it's a bit more obvious.
As for the rubbery feel that Vision gives us...
That should be the reason why the technology is not mature enough.
Come again "Will you speak" .
Friends who have watched anime know that Meow is a Pokémon who can speak human words.
At the beginning of Pikachu's design, like Meow Meow, he had the ability to gradually learn human language.
As for why I haven't said...
The story behind it is really interesting.
That year, Pikachu's voice actress Otani Yujiang came to the recording studio to try out.
Everyone was stunned when he opened his mouth.
She can express all kinds of emotions using only the three words "Pikachu".
Dear creators, it’s so good, the characters are bright and cute.
Yes, let's not talk about it at all.
Twenty years later, the "Pokemon" series ushered in an anniversary theater version of the film.
Inside, Xiao Zhi, who was dying, fell on the ground and asked Pikachu.
"Why do you refuse to get into the poke ball?"
In 20 years, Pikachu said the first sentence .
"Because I want to be with you all the time."
Just this sentence.
It is said that the audience in Japanese cinemas cried and exploded.
You can't understand many of the calls made by Pikachu.
But there is one sentence, it is the most shouted, you will definitely understand it.
"Picupee" .
That means "Xiaozhi" .
02
Why is this year different from the impression
Really new town, Xiaozhi.
Full of childhood memories.
When it comes to the movie, why isn't it right?
All gone?
Sister Tiao was also a little confused at first, so she asked the leader of the loyal fan next door for a long time.
Only then did I know that the blueprint of this film adaptation was not a comic or animation.
It was the 3DS game "Detective Pikachu" released on March 13 last year .
The game setting is very close to the plot.
Young Tim Goodman, in order to achieve his goal, came to this city of Lyme where people and Pokémon coexist peacefully.
On the way, he ran into detective Pikachu.
And only Tim could understand what this Pikachu said.
(Game screen)
The creators of Pokémon Studio started to make things strange.
They hired Da Chuanto to do the dubbing, and when they opened their mouths, they had a strong uncle's voice.
"Self-righteous, frivolous and lecherous."
This is the official label for Detective Pikachu.
Those gamers were so scared to persuade them to leave when they heard this voice...
but.
There is a kind of wonderful experience in daily travel.
It's called "Once you accept this setting,..."
This sense of contrast brings a lot of room for play to the narrative of the game.
Those who first started at the time felt that it was more like a movie than a game.
This is indeed the case.
As soon as the game was launched, the live-action movie was set up.
Come to the third question.
This "funny energy" is really too strong personal style of "little cheap" Ryan Reynolds.
Cannon Ability + Talking Tuberculosis Attribute.
If you walk down the entire timeline, you will find.
There really is no one more suitable.
Put aside personal style and likes and dislikes.
The voice of the little humble is actually a kind of thinner.
In "Deadpool", he even complained about himself.
After a fight.
It feels closer to Pikachu.
Not only Sister Tiao thinks so.
Veronica Taylor , the voice actor of the British version of Pokémon, also sent a congratulatory message:
I know Ryan Reynolds will be a very good Pikachu.
look.
Officially certified.
What are we arguing about?
03
Dream city
Don't know others.
The captain told Sister Tiao that everyone who has played the game has a dream.
Want to walk in the world where Pokémon lives.
You see, the city of Lyme in the movie is like a dream of 22 years .
It still looks like several layers of dreams are stacked together.
For blueprint games , it restores many scenes.
The opening scene of the long-tailed monster making a fuss in the apartment after going crazy, restores the "long-tailed monster death incident" investigated in the game .
The HI-Cafe that appeared in the film is also Pikachu's favorite coffee shop in the game.
Even the Pokémon Lotte Kappa, the owner of the coffee shop, has been restored.
For the original animation , it also restored many characters.
There is the first generation "Yu Sanjia" which is gradually appearing.
There is a super dream with the strongest combat effectiveness of the first generation——
Even the setting of being born from dream eyelashes fossils is used.
Hidden in the night next to the apartment, "OAK" is the name of Dr. Oki, the first-generation illustrated guide .
There is also a fat Ding who hypnotizes as soon as he sings .
Ibrahimovic , the competitor of the protagonist .
And the three great gods behind Pokémon:
The god of time (Diyaluka), the god of space (Paluchya), the god of creation (Alzeus).
The best egg is hidden deepest.
Have you noticed the name of the gas?
"R" .
R of Team Rocket shuttles through the galaxy .
In addition, most of the voice actors who participated in the original animation dubbing "Rocket Team" also dubbed important roles in the Japanese version of the movie.
Brick by brick.
A bright "cyberpunk" city was built.
To tell the truth.
"Detective Pokémon" is not cool enough.
"Unhappy" in several ways.
Perhaps from the perspective of "Family Huan", it is impossible to restore the extreme conflict between humans and beasts;
Perhaps it was because I wanted to restore the game so much that I could see the whole story as soon as it appeared.
That's right, you look to the end.
But please don't rush away.
Take a closer look.
In the details of infinite memory .
You look at the Pokémon walking row upon row.
For a moment, you may see the shadow of your past in a daze.
The game is the last piece of land that many people dream of.
At the end of "Top Player" , Wade gathered all the keys and saw James in the projection.
James said:
I created an oasis because I cannot live comfortably in the real world. I don't know how to communicate with people in the real world. I have been afraid of reality all my life until I realize that I will die. That was the first time I realized that although reality can be frightening and painful, it is still the only place where you can have a big meal. Because reality is real.
Fortunately, gaming is not the only way out.
Movies are also dream-making machines.
Dreams in dreams can also be the comfort of reality.
If you can't enter such a world, sister Tiao would like to congratulate you, you are really mature.
If you still can't get out of this world, don't be afraid.
There are two more words for you-
"Thank you for playing my game."
Thank you for flying bravely in this game.
