New Haicheng's latest film, "The Son of the Weather", will be released in China on November 1. I can't help but wonder what kind of story this film tells, because of his good opinion of "Your Name." and his eagerness for the unknown. Because it was only released on July 19 in Japan, and people who have seen the film left low comments on Douban. So I bought the novel before the film was officially released.

The novel version of "The Son of Weather" in China was published by Baihuazhou Literature and Art Publishing House, which was released a month earlier than the film. The reservation will be opened in the middle of September, and the color paper and posters of the same size as the book will be included in the reservation, which will be delivered after the National Day. This colored paper is more collectible than the poster.


The colored paper is small, and there is no place to put it. It doesn't take up space. If you don't like it, you can put it in a book. This is very good.
The book is hard cover hardcover, which is very good. The hard cover is resistant to turning pages. But this cover design makes people suspect that it has the element of rush work, and can be completely covered with movie posters. Later, it was found that the cover of the Japanese edition was the same, and then it was associated with that of Uniqlo's Xinhaicheng co branded short sleeves. I can only stop complaining about the cover.

It must be that "Baihuazhou Publishing House" wants to divide the market before the film is released. Therefore, after obtaining the copyright of the novel, it urgently translates "The Son of the Weather". Therefore, there are many unsatisfactory aspects in the translation of this novel. It is not a bad time. For example, the translation of "Ayane" into "Ayane" is correct, but the translation of "Kana" into "Kanai" is a bit problematic. It has the same problem as the translation of "Miyamoto Shigeru" from "Sanye" in the film. However, this only shows that the translator is not very interested in the works, and there is nothing to be tangled about.

Back to the content of the novel. After reading half of it, I felt more and more that Brother Cheng really could not write novels. It was a kind of novel simply adapted from the movie script. There is no sense of literary value. People who are disgusted with the translated works will only become more disgusted with the translated works. It is not too tasteless to read. When changing roles, use separators to distinguish between them. The story is basically narrated directly by the first person. If you miss the separator, you can't understand what you are talking about. The same is true of the novel "Your name.".

Novels are not like movies. When the film is dark, the audience will know that it is time to change the narrative protagonist. But the novels are all distinguished by separators, which is really a bit laborious. Therefore, the novels modified by these two films, if only for ordinary readers, are not interested in seeing such words at all. So I don't recommend buying at all. If you want colored paper posters, there is no need to buy books.

Rather than let me read the novel, let me watch the movie directly. I was so angry that I searched the TC resources of the "Son of Weather". It really has

The quality of the pirated film is much worse than that of the film released by "Junming", but I still managed to finish it. Of course, I also went to watch it after the official release, and the five students watched it again together.

So I have passed the second brush. I haven't seen the movie theater twice, except for the video website. After all, I'm lazy and poor.

The second brush pays more attention to the details of the film, and the feeling of the second brush is really different from that of the first brush with emotion. So I have made some modifications and improvements to the impressions I wrote before, so that the overall look more words, less water.

The rain in the "Court of Words and Leaves" is matched with the common "stereotypical" story: the boy meets the girl, and the collision of love, separation, and reunion are the end of a happy reunion. Add the rhythm of "your name.", the soundtrack of the original class, and the production team of the original class. These elements are all put together, which is probably the "son of the weather". Of course, it's not a simple combination. I just say this because I have high expectations for novels, and I feel a little resentful when I see such novels. So the first time I looked at it, I thought, isn't this your name 2.0?

The quality of the film itself is certainly more advanced than that of the previous film. Not only the figure painting, the combination of light and shadow, the rain splashing on the ground, the world on the clouds, all let me sink into it.

At the same time, most of the worldview in "Your Name." starts in the summer of 2021 after the Tokyo Olympics. There are many known characters, such as Sanye and Lihualong. But the royal envoy and Zaoyaxiang couple noticed it when they were brushing for the second time. It's very exciting to see other characters in another movie. I hope to see all the characters in Shin Hai Shing's universe together.

But when I get older, I always think about whether the logic is rigorous, whether the dialogue is reasonable, and whether the action of the characters is appropriate. Otherwise, how about hydrology!

The reason for the low score of this movie is probably the plot.

There is a very unreliable part in the film, which is the newly added "violence element of the adult world" - guns. I don't know what kind of pistol it is, but Fan Gao's explanation that "take it with me as a amulet" is hard to convince. High school students should have a certain understanding of guns, but in the film, Fan was afraid to throw the gun into the distance after he fired a shot. I asked my fellow soldiers about the risk of fire. But nothing happened in the movie. Moreover, in the later story, the male owner found the gun again. At this time, at least one month has passed, during which there was heavy rain, and the gun was thrown at an abandoned residential building. The gun should be affected with damp, but Fan Gao still fired a shot, and nothing happened.

For the gun part, maybe I was too sophisticated. Maybe it's not a big problem. But the police department is more difficult for me to accept. After entering the police station, they can even run out of the interrogation room, which makes people doubt the ability of the police. In the story of climbing to the top of the building at last, the part where Tianye can hold down the old criminal policeman also surprised me. Only by experiencing continuous abnormal weather, the old criminal policeman gave some water to explain.

Then the film said, "It rained in Tokyo for three years.". It's normal that Tokyo was flooded by the rain of the next three years, but at the end of the film, the plants grew as usual and were full of green. It's obviously not right

No more entanglement, there must be something wrong with the people who seek truth in the fictional stories.

Ensure the depth of your work while maximizing commercialization. The choice between the two, let us see the "son of the weather". After all, we need to have a proper meal. Only when we have a proper meal can we have the strength to make what we want. It is difficult to dedicate life to animation like Hayao Miyazaki, but it is not easy to gain market recognition. To achieve this, the story and characters will be carefully polished in the future, and the works that will be recognized by the audience will surely be launched.
