Chapter 154

The audience's thoughts were once again the opposite of what she expected! ?

Looking at the comments floating on "Stardust Crusaders".

And she still ran to the comment area and even ran to 2CH to find even one bad review of Jolyne Kujo.

In this long and fruitless search.

It seems that she has understood a truth -

The taste of this audience is really the opposite of hers! ?

Then "Diamond is Unbreakable", which she basically did herself, looking for actors and demanding the storyline, couldn't it be...

a good story that can make money?

Recalling "Diamond is Unbreakable" which just started filming not long ago, Jolyne Kujo also had this idea.

She quickly threw this idea out and shouted in horror: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!"

......

Chapter 237 The industry is too complicated and you can't grasp it

Of course, Jolyne Kujo is not wrong to say so.

Deus ex machina is a new setting that has never been heard of before.

This kind of thing should be avoided as much as possible for the creation of any work.

For example, why is Sieg in "Fate/Apocrypha" criticized?

Is it because of the love brain of the character of Sadakuro?

It is indeed partly because of this.

But more importantly, "Fate/Apocrypha" is the most classic deus ex machina plot.

It seems that the magical Higashiide has never considered the rationality at all, and just added the settings that he thought were cool and powerful into the work without caring about it.

For example, Karna's God-killing Spear - [Sun Wheel, Submit to Death].

According to the setting, this is an unsolvable treasure.

Sieg, who was fighting against Karna, even if he pulled other Servants to fight against Karna, would only be wiped out by Karna.

So how did the magical Higashiide make the protagonist Sieg win?

It's very simple. Since none of the Servant that appeared in "Fate/Apocrypha" could take on Karna's ultimate weapon, and none of the legends of these Servant had a weapon that could take on the God-killing Spear.

Then why not just give a Servant an original weapon that can just restrain the God-killing Spear? ?

So even if you look through the entire Greek mythology, you can't see what the "Little World Surrounding the Sky" has to do with Achilles. Even before, Achilles had never used a shield, but it blocked the God-killing Spear, allowing Sieg to successfully return Karna to Valhalla...

And there is more than one mechanical deity like this in "Fate/Apocrypha"!

Instead, it happened to Sieg countless times.

In this case, is it important to the story of "Fate/Apocrypha" whether there is a protagonist like Sieg?

Doesn't it mean that replacing Sieg with another passerby will have no impact on the story of "Fate/Apocrypha"? !

...This is the main reason why the industry believes that the Deus Ex Machina should be used as little as possible unless necessary.

The most important thing in a work is always the protagonist.

Only in this way can the audience put their own perspective into the story and immerse themselves in the story step by step with the protagonist.

Even in a group drama, there are several main characters who play this role and open the story adventure for the audience.

Once the protagonist's presence is diluted by the Deus Ex Machina.

Let the audience feel that the protagonist is unworthy of the position, and it is difficult to put themselves in the protagonist and integrate into the story.

Then it will be like Sieg.

Not only is the character unlikable.

Even "Fate/Apocrypha", the first Holy Grail War work with 14 Servants and a bunch of popular heroes such as Jeanne d'Arc and Karna, has become unpopular.

There are such examples in it.

Jotaro and Stardust Crusaders, both of whom are ex machina, will surely become even more popular!

Yeah, the ratings have risen again.

Although it sounds incredible, this reality is actually presented to all the viewers who watched this scene.

Even those in the industry who are also watching Stardust Crusaders, either for new technology or simply to observe and learn, feel that this simply goes against their common sense for many years!

Didn’t Ex machina say that it would have a negative impact on the work? !

Just when they couldn’t help but have the same feeling as Jolyne Kujo, thinking that the taste of this audience is probably the opposite of what they know.

There are still people with discerning eyes who see the "magic" used here.

"Although I have heard of it before, this year's newcomers are really amazing."

At this time, because of the establishment of the remake of EVA, Anno Hideaki came to the door again.

Therefore, Toshiro Otsuki was curious about this new technology that gave Anno Hideaki such an idea, and paid special attention to "Stardust Fighters" that used this new technology.

After seeing this, he said: "It is said that the deus ex machina gave Jotaro a time-stopping ability, but in fact, the foreshadowing was laid long before."

“First, we use the mirror image opposition between [Platinum Star] and [World] in the OP screen to tell our audience that they are the same type of stand-in, and then continue to deepen this impression through Jotaro’s words. "

"Then it completely created an atmosphere of despair, completely detonating the foreshadowing that had been laid in advance! And used the memory of how DIO used the [World] to dig out the power of stopping time, to provide this A mechanical deity, this is the final foreshadowing and ending!”

The reason why "Stardust Fighters" is so different from the same deus ex machina was roughly told to Toshiro Otsuki.

After he figured this out, he sincerely sighed: "I have to say that Green Dolphin Studio really taught the industry a lesson. At least before this, all of us were OPs who didn't know the work. Is it possible to shoot like this?”

Yes, "Stardust Fighters" can complete this perfect deus ex machina.

In Otsuki Junlun's opinion, it's because of its OP!

After all, if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that Green Dolphin Studio has already buried the foreshadowing of [Platinum Star]’s true substitute ability and the ability to stop time.

In addition, from "Phantom Blood" to "Battle Tide", Green Dolphin Studio's tradition of liking to play OPs has been inherited, making the audience pay special attention to the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" OP.

In this way, Jotaro's sudden stop of time is not so much a deus ex machina.

Rather, it is part of the story in itself.

However, Anno Hideaki on the other side had a different view on this and said: "I think Otsuki you are simply overthinking."

“The most important thing about the work is that it is interesting!”

"It's just that if other works include deus ex machina elements, it will make the whole work no longer interesting and give the audience a bad feeling. This will make us feel that deus ex machina is something difficult to grasp. . But "Stardust Fighters"..."

Watching the battle between Jotaro and DIO in "Stardust Fighters" did not stop because of these words they said.

Anno Hideaki was full of interest and did not even look at Toshiro Otsuki. He still stared at the picture in front of him and said: "You will think that the offensive and defensive battle between Jotaro and DIO that revolves around stopping time is... Isn’t it interesting?”

Chapter 338 Who doesn’t want to chase dreams?

As an original animator who studied under Hayao Miyazaki.

When Hideaki Anno created his works, he naturally could not help but inherit many of the views of his teacher, Hayao Miyazaki:

For example, rather than stories, he also prefers to use exquisite special effects and performances to attract the audience's attention.

For example, it is said that the funds for "EVA" were about to be burned out, and the violent battle scene between Unit-00 and Water Angel in the second episode...

And I feel that the first thing to consider in a work is whether the audience likes their work or not.

That is, can their works cater to the market?

Only after considering this important matter related to their life and death.

Only then can they have this free time to consider their own artistic pursuits.

...

Under the guidance of these views, the most serious impact on Hideaki Anno himself is that "EVA" is just work, while "New Ultraman" and "New Kamen Rider" are life!

Only "EVA" made money.

Only then can he have the money to pursue his dreams of "New Ultraman" and "New Kamen Rider"!

So compared to Toshiro Otsuki, who is either a professor or a temporary special lecturer at relevant universities and loves to train newcomers in the industry, his views are derived from a professional perspective.

Hideaki Anno was only seen after Deus Ex Machina.

The duel between Jotaro and DIO in "Stardust Fighters" not only did not become boring because of this.

On the contrary, it is more intense, more confusing, and more interesting than before!

This is why Hideaki Anno, although he was replying to Toshiro Otsuki's words, his eyes and brain were all focused on "Stardust Fighters".

Especially when Hideaki Anno saw "Stardust Fighters"——

Jotaro's initial actions on Time Stop.

In fact, it is not that he also used time stop in [World].

Instead, it was through the hand-to-hand combat between [Platinum Star] and [World], without using the ability of a substitute, but simply using six-dimensional speed, strength, and precision.

Using a faster speed and more precise precision, he attached a magnet to DIO's bracelet at a perspective that DIO could not detect in advance.

It was only when DIO approached him that he created the illusion of moving his fingers.

And there was a link between them, when DIO discovered Jotaro's little trick.

After learning the truth that the fingers can move, it is not because [Platinum Star] and [World] are the same type of avatars and both stop time, but simply because of the principle of opposite attraction of magnets.

This idea completely occupied his mind, and he didn't even bother to set up defenses. He walked in front of Jotaro without being cautious, and then... he was almost killed by Jotaro who entered the range!

The reason why the so-called Deus Ex Machina did not affect "Stardust Crusaders" is no longer important to Hideaki Anno.

Rather than thinking about such boring questions.

It is better to focus on "Stardust Crusaders" and watch the battle of wits and courage between Jotaro and DIO.

How can Jotaro, who has just learned to stop time and only has one or two seconds to stop time, survive and win in the hands of DIO who has a full five seconds to stop time?

Once even the audience has the same idea as Hideaki Anno.

Then whether Deus Ex Machina is really no longer important~~

At the same time, along with this idea.

Hideaki Anno naturally thought about how to apply this "Deus Ex Machina" to the remake of "EVA"?

Although Hideaki Anno has publicly said more than once that he hates "EVA".

His way of dealing with "EVA" is to continuously drain the pond of fish to make money from otakus.

But he has to admit that "EVA" is really popular.

Even if he is so reckless, it does not affect his next reckless money-making at all.

But if this time, he is no longer just adding a strange joint product to "EVA" on such a small matter.

Instead, he makes drastic changes to the plot of "EVA" itself, the story of why "EVA" is so popular.

Can these "EVA" fans who have silently endured his recklessness for so long continue to endure it?

Even Hideaki Anno, who never takes "EVA" fans and viewers seriously, can't help but be a little bit muggle about this kind of thing.

Of course, it is not impossible not to change the original plot.

But as mentioned earlier, after making enough money with "EVA", Hideaki Anno only has dreams in his heart.

Or he could make more works to increase his influence and pursue his dream.

In this case, if he simply remade the original "EVA" plot, wouldn't it leave a negative impression on others that he has run out of ideas?

So he had to change the plot!

But how to change it?

Just when Anno Hideaki was distressed about this.

Unexpectedly, it was Green Dolphin Studio that gave him an answer again——
