Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Dim colors, the whole world is only black and white. \u0026 {}{}}

The quiet and soft BGM looks empty and silent, as if you are alone and abandoned by the world.

"I hate this town..."

He Chen's deep voice flowed quietly from the TV.

"Because this place is full of memories that I want to forget."

The voice that should be full of vitality is full of vicissitudes, fatigue, and confusion, as if a young woman has an old and decayed soul inside.

"I go to school every day to listen to classes, chat with friends, and return home to a place I don't want to go back to. If this continues, will there be any changes in the future?"

A person walking silently on the road, cars passing by, passing through houses and roads, seems to be out of tune with this world.

"Will a different life come?"

Walking on the slopes of cherry blossoms, the gray and white colors have a sad taste.

There is no hope, no light. If we continue like this, this gray life will eventually decay and dissipate.

If it stays like this...

Inadvertently, the BGM with a touch of sadness was suddenly replaced by a brisk BGM, and the haze that this gray world brought to people's hearts was suddenly dispelled.

On the long cherry blossom slope, there is a girl in front of the boy.

Standing on the road, closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, he suddenly said one word: "Bean Paste Bread!"

Red bean paste bread?

What does it mean?

Are you hungry?

The incomprehensible speech suddenly attracted the young man's attention.

"Do you like this school?" the strange girl continued, lowering her head. There was no one around. The boy didn't know this girl. It seemed that she was talking to herself, as if feeling the call of the soul, the boy stopped and looked at the girl.

"I love it very much!"

“But all of this is constantly changing.

"

"No matter how pleasant something is, how happy something is. Everything, all of it is constantly changing."

Gray and white flash alternately, like a fierce confrontation between brightness and haze.

"Even so, will you still like it here?"

this problem. As if he was also asking about the young man's soul, he suddenly answered: "As long as I find it, it will be fine."

This seems to be his answer to himself as well.

At that moment, in the alternating flash of colors, gray and white were suddenly replaced by colors!

The depressive, negative, and gloomy colors were dispelled, and the whole world suddenly bloomed with bright brilliance, making people's eyes suddenly light up.

The girl saw the boy next to her. A breeze blew through the cherry blossoms, and the cherry-colored petals swirled between them like a bridge. It connects the hearts of two people.

boom!

At that moment, the audience felt the violent beating in their chests. The sound of their heartbeats shook their souls.

“Isn’t it great to just find the next pleasant and joyful thing to do?”

No matter how the world changes, as long as we look for and find the source of heartfelt happiness, people's love will not be modified at all!

Happiness will not come to those who wait, but will only be caught by those who pursue it.

"We started climbing together, this long, long slope..."

The two walked side by side on the cherry blossom slope. Just as the gray and white colors were replaced by bright colors, the vicissitudes of the young man's narration were suddenly swept away. The same voice, the same gentleness, but there was a kind of happiness. , a heart-warming taste.

In just one scene, the names of the two characters were not even revealed, but the scene where the two met under the snowy cherry blossoms left an indelible impression on the audience.

"clannad" - This is a work that He Chen has been suppressing for a long time and has not yet released. It is also a work that He Chen attaches great importance to.

For this, He Chen was waiting for an opportunity.

A year of continuous operation has finally paved the way for it.

He Chen once thought about whether to publish comics first, but when he saw "clannad" refreshed by the system as "comic", he compared it with the animation effect conceived in his mind. He found that it was really difficult to achieve the effect of "clannad" that He Chen wanted with comics.

There are some effects in animation that cannot be shown in comics.

For example, the classic opening of "clannad". The alternation between gray and white can easily express one meaning: at that moment, the whole world is full of brilliance!

A few strokes are worth a thousand words.

This is difficult to express in comics.

Although He Chen has used trigger dynamic comics in horror comics, he can even insert BGM at will. However, readers have absolute autonomy in comics. This trigger is the flickering of the screen, which can have unexpected effects on horror materials. However, for this work, the effect is greatly reduced.

But animation must follow the rhythm of the director (He Chen). He can perfectly combine BGM, pictures, atmosphere, etc., and shape everything to the extreme.

So He Chen gave up on the "clannad" comic, which was the only one. He really couldn't draw comics with the same effect as animation, so he devoted all his energy to animation.

In order to maintain the unity of style and the high quality of the animation without any broken scenes, the storyboards, character design drafts, and the director all worked in person to supervise the entire production of the animation from beginning to end.

Do your best to make this one the best it can be - because, from the moment "clannad" first started being serialized and "clannad" hadn't appeared, He Chen's eyes had already fallen on "clannad".

The game planning of "clannad" started very early. He Chen had extremely strict requirements and loaded all the new modules that had been prepared for it into "clannad". The production cycle was long and he kept improving, striving to turn this into a movie. An immortal classic.

In order to prevent the script from being leaked, He Chen signed a very strict confidentiality agreement with his employees, so that except for the "clannad" production team of the game department, and Ye Jun and Daisuke Ono, who are mainly responsible here, no one knew about Tianman's new work. It has been developed for more than half a year.

The animation plot route of "clannad" is the same as before. The Nagisa line was chosen. Before the game was released, He Chen used animation to warm up. At the same time, it also prevents the audience from being disturbed by the game, allowing them to focus on the plot of the animation.

Regarding the dubbing of "clannad", it is also an all-star lineup of Tianman. It can be said that "clannad" represents the most powerful group of people in Tianman and even the entire dubbing industry. Other female characters are not a problem. Tianman has the most female dubbing. The only thing that bothered He Chen was Okazaki's dubbing.

The voice of the original Okazaki is not special, but He Chen wanted a better "Okazaki" that could match the perfect "clannad" in his mind.

Yamada Tomokazu has dubbed Yuichi in "", and he is the most similar character.

If "clannad" had no after-story, but only a before-story, Tomokazu Yamada would indeed be competent.

But in the story after-, Okazaki moves from childishness to maturity, from a boy to a man. This step-by-step spiritual transformation in the ups and downs must be expressed in the subtle differences in the voice.

Tomokazu Yamada is far from enough - his "acting skills" are very good, he can be funny (Gintoki), and sensational (Yuichi), but maybe because of his awesome background, his life has been almost smooth, and nothing is too big. He has not been married or had children. He cannot express such a change from youth to maturity.

The voices of Xu Yue, Jun Fukuyama and Daisuke Ono also have their own characteristics, but they still cannot satisfy He Chen.

Needless to say, Mr. Xing's style was completely different from Okazaki's, but he fit in well with Chunyuan, so he was naturally assigned to Chunyuan by He Chen.

After walking around and finding no one, He Chen tried it himself. He has the experience of traveling through time. He has lost family members and gained family members. He has fallen and sunk, and has fought for the light again. He is rich in experience.

After listening to He Chen's dubbing, everyone unanimously decided to let the boss handle this arduous task himself.

As creators, they said that apart from He Chen, no one could understand this role better than him. If He Chen didn't deserve it, who else could?

So in the end, He Chen put on his armor and went into battle in person!

Not to mention anything else, as long as you say in the advertisement before it is aired that "The porter himself dubs, writes, directs, produces, draws, and creates characters", it will be difficult for this work to become popular.

He Chen also thought about the timing of "clannad" for a long time.

The playback speed is too fast, making it difficult for the emotions of "clannad" to brew. The story of "clannad" is gentle and warm. It is the accumulation bit by bit before and the final wave of explosion that makes people unforgettable.

Even though Tianman's production speed is very fast under He Chen's full supervision, the playback speed of "clannad" is still updated every week.

It leaves people with enough time to reminisce, but at the same time, the emotions brewing in this story will not fade with the passage of time.

The update time is every Wednesday, prime time!

This is also a time that He Chen finally determined after carefully considering the playback speed and various things in the next year!

In this year, Wednesday is destined to be a day that will be remembered by everyone. (To be continued...)

ps: Something happened today, so the update is late, sorry.

Hurry up and try to catch up.
