Comic changes are every year, especially in recent years.
Tokyo Ghoul, Fullmetal Alchemist, Disaster of Nanao Saiki, Gintama, Grim Reaper...
Watching this classic anime work have been remade into a movie, the hearts of the little friends must be mixed.
We always like to use so-and-so animation "tragically humanized" to describe its comic adaptation of live-action movies.
In fact, the advent of comic book live-action movies is not a bad thing in itself.
It is a testament to the quality of the original work and has the potential to take the work out of the loop.
However, how to present the original two-dimensional works in a three-dimensional way on the basis of respecting the original work is a very tricky problem.
<h1>01</h1>
Looking back at the history of comic book adaptation of live-action movies, very few people can get universal praise, and most of them cannot escape the fate of the street.
Since then, the current situation of "changing the color of the smell" has finally been formed.
I think that whether a live-action comic can be successful or not, two factors are crucial: one is the casting, and the other is the adaptation, which is indispensable.
For the selection of role actors, the word "suitable" is emphasized.
Therefore, as soon as the makeup photo of the heroine of the live-action version of "Death" came out, I knew that many people had been dissuaded.
And that's not even the worst example.
Everyone knows tear-jerkers about CLANNAD, but have you ever heard of its live-action version?
The picture below left an indelible psychological shadow on me when I first saw it...
So, is there anyone who can achieve the god reduction of the character?
My answer is, yes.
In the movie "NANA", Mika Nakajima, who plays Nana, is such a model.
On the one hand, Mika Nakajima played nana with a queen-like temperament in the manga; on the other hand, Nana's role also made Mika Nakajima win the Japan Academy Award for Best Newcomer and was nominated for best actress, which has since ushered in the peak of her career.
<h1>02</h1>
The film NANA (aka The Other Me in the World) is based on the manga of the same name by Ai Yazawa and was released in Japan in 2005.
For its original manga, perhaps rarely mentioned now, but at that time it was known as the "bible of girls".
NANA was serialized in 1999 in Shueisha's Cookie. It once topped the Japanese manga sales list with 230w sales, breaking the record of 13 consecutive titles of One Piece, which is the first girl manga and is extremely popular.
It mainly tells the story of two girls who also read "NANA" but have completely different personality experiences, and after a miraculous encounter, their fates are intertwined.
Nakajima plays Nana Osaki, the female lead singer of the punk rock band Black Stones, and the film begins with a concert scene.
Many viewers commented on Meijia's version of "NANA":
"Only Mika Nakajima can play such a role.
Outside of her, there is no Nana Osaki in the world. ”
Don't think it's a rainbow fart blown by brainless fans.
In reality, Mika Nakajima has an innate sense of poignant beauty, which coincides with Nana's independent and mature qualities.
And because of her own singer status, her control of the singing scenes on the stage in the movie is particularly handy, and the aura is properly full of points.
Mika Nakajima's Nana is undoubtedly the most brilliant of the entire film characters, but it is also remarkable that the other characters in the film, although difficult to resist Nana's light, did not drag the film back.
"NANA" and the later "July and Ansheng" are somewhat similar, both adopting the configuration of the two heroines. Aoi Miyazaki plays Nai Nai as another heroine.
Compared with the towering "cold beauty" Osaki Nana, Komatsu Nana is more like a naïve child of the same age.
Aoi Miyazaki can be said to perform Nai Nai's liveliness and delicacy very well.
Although his words and deeds seem a bit "silly and sweet" today, from the perspective of "cuteness is justice", Miyazaki Aoi's childlike face itself has largely shown the charm of Nai Nai.
In addition, Akiji, Nai Nai's ex-boyfriend played by Yuta Hiraoka, not only meets the standard in appearance, but also has very natural acting skills.
At first, when he went to the station to pick up Nai Nai, he was shocked to see the girl's heart, and then when he split his legs and Sachiko, exposing his "big pig's trotter" nature, he was angry and gritted his teeth.
It can be seen that the success of the casting alone has already made "NANA" dump most of the hot chicken live-action comics dozens of streets.
<h1>03</h1>
The original "NANA" is a long work, and to be adapted into a film of less than two hours, a large-scale cut is inevitable.
Liu Xue Youyun: "Jokes are not nonsense, and adaptations are not random edits." ”
In terms of adaptation, the live-action version of "NANA" is also quite successful.
The structure of the original work adopts a dual perspective, that is, from the perspective of Nana and Nai Nai, alternating the story of their respective lives and after the encounter.
The film chooses to simplify the complexity, mainly using Nai Nai's single perspective, viewing Nana from Nai Nai's point of view, and intermittently inserting fragments of Nana's past life, in contrast to the current experience.
If the arrangement is bound to cause the loss of some of the content in the original work, but considering the information carrying capacity of the film and other factors, such a treatment is already considered the "conscience of the industry".
At the beginning of the story, on the train to meet her boyfriend in Tokyo, Nai Nai meets a cool girl with smoky makeup, Nana, and meets her.
After arriving in Tokyo, Nana and Nai Nai unexpectedly set their sights on the same room.
When they were arguing, with the "assist" of the band's bald big brother, they finally decided to share a house.
The thread of their fates was thus intertwined.
When she met Nana, Nai Nai was lucky.
In the cold wind, Nana accompanied Nai Nai outside waiting for her boyfriend Akishi to leave work, and without saying anything, she took off her coat to give Nai Nai a cute and cute, and the strength interpreted what is "boyfriend force max".
Faced with the betrayal of her boyfriend, Nai Nai became dull under the sudden blow.
Nana, on the side, said she couldn't look at it.
She strode forward to question the scumbag fiercely, and finally almost really moved her hand.
At the same time, meeting Nai Nai is also Nana's luck.
Despite their very different personalities, they know each other better than anyone else.
Nai Nai once "taught" Nana in a serious way:
"Too much self-esteem will make happiness slip away."
After learning nana and Lian's story, Nai Nai invites Nana to her home and takes her to Lian's performance site, looking for opportunities to help the two reunite.
Therefore, the magic of Nai Nai is that:
She always acted silly in dealing with her own affairs; but once she faced Nana's affairs, she could immediately transform into a little angel and solve problems for the other party.
Although "NANA" is not a lily-oriented work, the deep feelings between the two heroines truly sweetened a large number of audiences.

NANA is also known as The Other Me in the World.
It seems to me that the "other me" here can be seen on the one hand as someone who is in touch with my heart, and on the other hand one can also be a "nother" of mine.
It is through this other who is different from "me" that "I" can re-examine itself.
Nana gave Nai Nai the nickname of a puppy, "Little Eight".
She pointed out very sharply that Nai Nai was like a small dog, "looking well-behaved and obedient, in fact, it will only cause trouble."
In the movie, it is not difficult for us to see that Nai Nai's puppy attributes have actually been exposed as early as the train where the two meet.
She told Nana that she would have to refuel when she arrived in Tokyo, but the purpose of the refueling was to prevent her boyfriend from driving her back.
Therefore, for Akiji's later leg splitting, Nai Nai is not without responsibility.
Her puppy-like over-dependence made the other party gradually overwhelmed.
Compared to Nai Nai, who is not in love and will die, Nana is almost the other extreme. In Nai Nai's words:
"Nana is like a wild cat that does whatever she wants,
Live proudly and freely,
But he was carrying wounds that could not be healed. ”
Facing Nana, Nai Nai is both a little fan girl full of admiration and feels her deep inner struggle.
Nana has a sad past and has had enough of loneliness.
She loves singing and loves Lotus.
As a result, her arms have always been tattooed with lotus flowers.
But she also realized that Lotus had let her know the joy of singing, but she didn't sing for Lotus.
She has worked hard to sing for herself to this day.
Throughout, Nana's posture was proud and independent. As Mika Nakajima once said:
"In the darkest part of my life, it was I who pulled myself out of the abyss.
Without that person, I would be that person. ”
Nana and Nai Nai are two very different souls, but also "others" to each other.
With the gradual infiltration of each other's colors, the growth of the two can be clearly presented in front of our audience's eyes.
It was the worst of times and the best of times.
Making a good live-action comic book movie is not an easy task, but it is not an impossible thing.
Just as the so-called "comic change is risky, remakes need to be cautious", I hope that in the future, those warriors who dare to put two-dimensional works on the three-dimensional screen can carefully consider every link in the remake process.
Don't offend the fans and scare passers-by.
