In 1998, Japan's "Weekly Shonen JUMP" serialized a manga "Goku" with the theme of Go. This manga has been well received since its serialization!
In 2001, a group of great Japanese scriptwriters joined forces to put this comic on the big screen. 's professional Go explanations, chess methods, and the protagonist's counterattack made many teenagers fall in love with Go.
, as a comic in the form of "science popularization" and "interest," undoubtedly, "Soul of Chess" is a success. Even after many years, this Japanese comic still has a high score of 9.2 points. Even afterwards, China created its own "Go-Interest" work "Go Boy", but it can only be subordinate to "Go Spirit".
can be seen from this, the achievement of this Japanese comic!
In 2020, the best-selling author Zhuoyue Foam and Yumi Mikuta (one of the six screenwriters of "Soul of Go") co-director Liu Chang, brought this 19-year-old super-fire anime "Soul of Go" on the big screen again. And it's still in the form of a live-action version.
As everyone knows, the most feared of comics is the adaptation of the live-action version, because after most of the comics are adapted, they are separated from the original plot, which makes the original party the most unhappy. Many netizens even made up a slogan: comics are the sky, animation is the earth, real people destroy the sky-destroy the earth!
Of course, nothing is absolute.
is like the live-action version of the domestic animation "Drawing Jianghu", and many netizens believe that the live-action version is highly restored! Therefore, "God of the Game" is a fairly well-reproduced work. Since its release, the praise has been good, and of course there are many controversies! The biggest controversy of
is the appearance of Zhang Chao (Chu Ying), and the plot timeline of the live-action version is completely different from that of the Japanese version, which is very different from the original. This also makes many original authors say that can’t accept it. !
Due to the high popularity of "God of Chess" at present, in response to some complaints and controversies from netizens, director Liu Chang also stood up for the first time and responded to the doubts of netizens!
For example, the controversial Chu Ying's style was complained by netizens as "Oriental Undefeated + Black and White Impermanence", ennnn...Although this is not very good, but it seems that Chu Ying's style really has such a thing!
However, Liu Chang responded: Chu Ying's style is actually to cater to the aesthetics of the original party members , because the "Zuowei" in the Japanese comics is a chess player in the Heian era, so the style is retro Japanese. However, also added a lot of Chinese elements to make Chu Ying more Chinese, such as embroidery on clothing!
Although I did not find the embroidery on Chu Ying, Director Liu Chang has the final say!
because of the spitting in the shape, the plot spitting incurred is the fault of this drama!
However, Director Liu Chang's response to the plot is much more convincing! Since
is an adaptation, it must have something of its own, so the birth time of Chu Ying is set as the most prosperous dynasty of Chinese Go, Nanliang, which is also in line with Chu Ying's setting of Go as life. On the basis of changing the timeline, the modern picture has not changed the arc, after all, the original plot is already exciting enough.
has passion, dreams, youth rebellion, and inspirational future , so it retains most of the main story and classic dialogue, and even the clothes on the time body are carefully selected to meet the original party aesthetic.
Therefore, the production team of "Soul of the Chess", used the form of "drama" to adapt "Soul of the Chess" into a true film and television drama that tells the pure Chinese story .
Although Chu Ying's style is difficult to describe in a word, I still have to say that Liu Chang's response is really convincing. Because the story is adapted into a Chinese story, it is good to tell a pure Chinese story. After all, Go originated in the Spring and Autumn Period of China and flourished in the Southern Liang Period. Therefore, the story is more meaningful with the narrative line of Chinese stories.
At the same time, in terms of clothing, retains some of the "classic details" of the original work, but also adds Chinese style elements to make "While "Hire of the Game" conforms to the original aesthetic, it is also accepted by more people . In this regard, the director and screenwriter are really well-intentioned!
In addition, Liu Chang also responded positively to the problems of the modern timeline, which is why the timeline has been extended further. The main reason is that the audience of Riman's "Soul of Chess" is children. The Chinese version of "Soul of Chess" has a wider audience, from children to adults.
However, in my opinion, the most important thing is that the original party members have grown up. Let these 20- or 30-year-old adults go back to the youth version of "Soul of Go", let alone whether they will suffer. Come to the ridicule of peers around you, I'm afraid they are also psychologically separated. expands the time horizon, not only has a wider audience, but also allows the original party to recall childhood classics as a matter of course!
On the whole, the Chinese version of "The Soul of Chess" is really a successful adaptation! After all, as in the adaptation of "Drawing Jianghu", the plot modeling completely uses the elements of animation, then I might as well watch the animation directly, at least there is no sense of violation!
and Director Liu Chang is also practical. Whether it is an adaptation of the plot, this Japanese comic has been reorganized and turned into a pure Chinese story! It is still the preservation of the original clothing, allowing the classics to reappear. In fact, to some extent, it is already very good. There is really no need to favor one another!
