Thirty years ago, in 1988, Japanese anime was in a golden period of rapid development. In September of that year, Hiroyuki Nishisen, a 25-year-old manga artist at the time, began serializing "I Am Big Brother", which became famous for mixing and matching hot-blooded action comics with funny comics. Especially in the general environment at that time, although "I Am Big Brother" involved the theme of bad boys and gangster struggles, the frequency and degree of violent scenes in the work were low, which was a small clear stream at that time. As a result, "I Am Big Brother" was able to end in a 9-year series, and an anime and OVA were launched.
However, "I Am Big Brother" stops there. After all, in that era, the "Saint Seiya" and "Dragon Ball" as the representative of the king's road blood comic and the same emphasis on the combination of funny and fighting "Chaos Horse 1/2" are in their heyday, in 89 CLAMP's "Holy Biography" came out and opened the aesthetic girl comic school, compared to the rough style of "I am big brother" The competitiveness is extremely limited. This also makes it even in the 90s, when China was eager for Japanese comics, not many fans knew about this work.
Thirty years later, in 2018, the autumn Japanese drama "I Am Big Brother" conquered Chinese audiences in just a few weeks, becoming a popular Internet celebrity drama against the market in the mainland market where Japanese dramas were declining, and becoming a source of happiness that saved countless young boys and girls from sorrow. The Douban score has climbed all the way, and now it has reached 9.2 points, which is also very high in the past Japanese dramas. (Friendly reminder: The "I" drama officially ended yesterday, please buy melon seeds in the front row and look forward to the second season.) ）
The old generation of the new is too reasonable to be reasonable
Judging from the starring lineup alone, it seems that there is no reason why the "I" drama is so hot. He Laixian, who plays Takashi Sanbashi, will turn thirty next year, but he did not have many achievements in his debut in 2006, and his acting career is more of a supporting role. In 2011, He Laixian starred in the film version of "Kiss of Heaven" starring Keiko Kitagawa, and in the same year, he co-starred in the Japanese TV version of "Crazy Horse 1/2" with "Chinese Otaku National Wife" Shin-Huan Yui. Although he serves as the male number one horse, the number one character promoted by this drama is Tiandao Qian, played by Xin HuanJieyi, and most of the dramas in which the "wife of the whole people" serves as the big heroine... You get the idea.

There was not much repercussion from the co-performance with the two heroines, and He Laixian returned to his ordinary supporting career. In addition to the aunt is the 80s famous for the 83cm long legs of the entertainment industry and the uncle is played in the "Brave Devil City" in the tuanbo Otama Nobu, and in 2015 became the new Caledonia tourism ambassador (what ghost?). In addition, the topic points are really very few. Until he starred in the movie "The Disaster of Nanao Saiki" last year...

▲This dance step can be said to be passed down by Zhao Si's relatives
▲Chang Wei! You also say you can't dance!
As a result, He Laixian's super beauty and funny skills officially broke out, and in "I Am Big Brother", mitsuhashi, played by him, is a super demon with both fighting strength and intrigue and intrigue. In a duel with the other school bosses, mitsuhashi's way of making the other party obediently dig a pit and bury himself. In order to retaliate against the pranks of others, Mitsuhashi locks up the abandoned school building that the other party has deceived into deserted people, and when he is hungry, he tricks his opponents into eating grass and taking photos and group hair... Outside the plot, the Mitsuhashi play played by He Laixian in the play is full of energy, and Yan Yi does not stop for a moment, dancing wildly in situ without a word. Xie Guangkun was speechless when he saw this violent Yan Yi; Zhao Si could only silently shed tears when he saw this soul-destroying dance step...
▲The little brother usually looks like this
In contrast, Kentaro Ito, who starred as Shinji Ito, was much luckier. Born in 1997, he had previously been mainly engaged in modeling and various supporting roles, and his first starring role caught up with such a blockbuster, and He Laixian, who was 8 years older than him, could only lament the bad luck of the times. Ito in the play is a standard hot-blooded boy, and his combination with Mitsuhashi is an invincible match. In the show business circle, the little brother has always used Kentaro as a stage name before, and after playing Ito this time, he has restored his real name to the outside world, which shows the depth of the little brother's entry into the play.
▲ The millennium beauty girl who was officially complained about by "Gintama"
In addition to the two relatively unfamiliar starring actors, the rest of the actors are familiar with the old drama bones. The heroine Hashimoto Kana believes that everyone is no stranger, this "once-in-a-millennium beautiful girl" as the future representative of the royal idol has single-handedly made the AKB48 major ACEs in the heyday of the heyday think of danger, so that nogisaka 46 Mizoya, known for her appearance, trembled, until she participated in "Gintama" in 2016...
▲……
▲The previous second was beautiful
▲ The next second is like this...
Hashimoto seems to have awakened from this yanyi and is out of control. In the subsequent "The Disaster of Nanxiong Saiki" and the original work "I Am Big Brother", we can repeatedly witness the millennium beautiful girl constantly releasing herself, gradually drifting away on the road of Yan Yi... After watching this drama, I am afraid that you will not lack memes in half a year...
What does the name of another female protagonist, Kiyono, say... belch...... This makeup, the face of 24 girls 42. But to tell the truth, the appearance of such a Showa is really not easy to find now.
▲ I have seen this series of memes, which proves that you were also surfing the Internet that year
Jiro Sato and Takeshi Muro have been the right-hand men of director Yuichi Fukuda since "Daredevil Breaks into the Magic City". The Buddha played by Jiro Sato was also a big Internet celebrity of the year...
▲Feel the sudden change of painting style
What is even more rare is that the supporting actors of this drama are also very promising. The red high boss Imai was beaten in various ways in the play, and now he has also begun to become popular on the Internet, just as the so-called "everyone in the film is showing, only Imai is being beaten." The actor Taiga is the second son of the big senior in the Japanese showbiz circle and the "prince of the underworld" Aichuan Sho, the gangster film hero Nakano, who usually takes the literary route and participates in more literary and artistic films, he also lets himself go in the play, and he is beaten alive and buried alive to eat grass. Gossip a sentence, his former gossip cohabitation girlfriend is Munwaki Mai, who understands nature (manual dog head).
▲Some people say that Mitsuhashi Daddy is the hidden boss...
Kotaro Yoshida, played by Mitsuhashi's father, has become popular in recent years with the urban emotional chicken soup drama "Tokyo Wound story", which is also a true comic in this drama. Of course, the uncle has released himself once in advance in this spring's late-night drama "Uncle's Love", which is not strange for the time being (this is also a big sand sculpture drama this year, and we have time to talk about it). Mother Mitsuhashi and Sensei Yamaguchi do not play many supporting actresses, but both are the top players of The Japanese National Treasure Theater Troupe Takarazuka. Mitsuhashi's mother is played by Jun Setuna, who is the chief of the Takarazuka Tsuki group in the 90s, and Shika Aibara, who is the chief female number one of the Takarazuka Snow Group, and they are all famous and famous figures.
Yuichi Fukuda: The anti-routine routine master is not a manga change, but a magic change
Putting so many big celebrities together is a hard job for any director, not to mention letting the male Yihe come to the virtuous yanyi to explode, and letting the millennium beautiful girls and a group of literary and art celebrities fly themselves. But for the film's director, Yuichi Fukuda, this is not a big deal. After all, your comic adaptation is a manga, and the Fukuda group's manga is a magic change...
Influenced by his father, who loved comedy since childhood, Fukuda first became a screenwriter and became famous by Japaneseizing European and American funny memes, and then his unique understanding of comedy and his control of drama structure and rhythm quickly made him a new generation of directors who attracted much attention. After several years of stumbling, the 2011 summer Japanese drama "Daredevil Breaks into the Magic City" has become a masterpiece that establishes Fukuda's directorial style.
The basic framework of "Brave City" comes from the RPG "Dragon Quest", and Futian has created a complete set of anti-routine solutions while strictly following the classic routine of the RPG. For example, the characters in the film are sand sculptured like early RPG characters, only in the village house can be archived, the characters die to go to the church to be resurrected, etc., although in the adventure mode is fully in line with the routine, the plot is full of anti-routines. For example, in the conventional routine, the brave must protect the beautiful big miss, and the big miss in the film looks like this...
▲ Naomi Watanabe, who was not yet popular in 2011, was scolded by Takayuki Yamada dozens of times
The brave voiced this after getting tired of fighting...
The enemies in the film will be stupid enough to lick their own poisonous knives and commit suicide, the Buddha's instructions are not reliable, and the brave ones achieve their adventure goals in the first episode... All this sand sculpture setting, the spearhead directed at the ultimate proposition of the king's road routine - when the demon king is not a demon king but a weak chicken, when the threat facing the world is only a false alarm, then the brave or the brave? Does the adventure still make sense? Such deconstruction clearly goes beyond adaptations. However, such a magic change route has been praised by Japanese audiences, especially game lovers, and se, the game company that produced "Dragon Quest", even took the initiative to fund the production of the next two seasons of "Brave Dragon City".
Relying on this magic drama, Yamada Takayuki changed his previous serious xiaosheng image, coupled with his contemporary work "Dark Gold Ugly Island Jun", which allowed him to smoothly transform into a representative of the acting school of male stars. Fukuda also developed his own unique style and team, and after the equally hilarious "Gintama" and "The Disaster of Nanao Saiki", big names such as Jiro Sato, Takeshi Muro, and Kana Hashimoto became regular members of the Fukuda group. When this style continued into "I Am Big Brother", Fukuda deconstructed different bad teenagers for us.
▲ Some people say that the special attack suit is also one of the origins of the "all-evil man"...
"I Am Big Brother", which came out in the 1980s, mainly depicts the "hard school" that was popular in the Kanto region of Japan from the 1970s to the mid-to-late 1980s, that is, the Japanese "ツッパリ". Hardcore bad wear more neat student uniforms, and pursue novelty in hairstyles, blonde hair, airplane heads, and large pointed heads are representatives, and girls wear extremely long skirts, popular eighties perms. This genre eventually developed into the Tyrannosaurs and Flying Cars, and the long-length "special attack suits" are representative costumes. Of course, in the 80s, in addition to flying cars, gathering crowds to fight, robbery and injury and other vicious crimes occurred from time to time, the funny and soft violence characteristics of "I Am Big Brother" made it different from other works at that time, and in essence, it also diluted the negative impact of hard school.
▲ Standard Yankee style, colorful
Beginning in the mid-1980s, "soft" bad things began to sprout in the Tokyo area. These teenagers often wear free, loose clothes, and the widening of the trouser legs of the school uniform is the norm, coupled with the colorful tops, which are still synonymous with bad in Japanese, "ヤンキー" (Yankee). The emergence and development of this faction was accompanied by the whole process of Japan's bubble economy from the end of the carnival to the total collapse, so these Tokyo urban teenagers were more lazy and self-indulgent, and the activity units were mostly grouped in small groups, which was different from the traditional hardcore large group brawl with schools and regions as units. The tokyo soft faction leaders also played by Muranobu in episode 5 of the "I" drama are representatives of this style, and it can be seen that they are significantly different from hardcore bad guys such as Ito.
▲ The dress in the big IP of the FC era "Hot Blood Hardcore" is a standard hardcore bad
Today, the hardcore is yesterday's yellow flower. I believe that the enlargement of the funny elements by the manga author Xi Sen and the director of the play, Fukuda, is also intended to put aside the bad deeds of the hardcore and simply construct a youth drama depicting the high school life of that era. Especially today, when the Heisei shingle is coming to an end and Japan is about to change the New Year's number, it is of special epochal significance to use extremely exaggerated methods to shoot a youth drama of the Showa era. In this sense, magic reform is not bad. Just like our ivory mountain village, it is also a civilized new countryside that has thrown away from ignorance and simply competed in facial arts and dance skills.
The End of the Hardcore: Learning to Reconcile with Society with Difficulty
At the end of the hard-line bad culture, Japan's bubble economy has completely collapsed, and these bad teenagers face a Japan after graduation that they have never seen since they grew up with a good life. Perhaps for this reason, there are many examples of hardcore teenagers making a face and making contributions to society. A very classic is the most popular "Heisei Gosanjia" in the early 90s, except for Oda Yuji, who is well known to the country for starring in "DongAi", the other two male stars are related to the hardcore bad. Eisaku Yoshida explicitly admitted that he was a hardcore teenager, and Kasei Daishu has been on the edge of gray, and finally bid farewell to show business in 2008 for smuggling drugs.
In "I Am Big Brother", the three guest stars not only pay tribute to the "Hot Blood College" series, but also hint at the contributions and hardships of hardcore teenagers after entering society.
"Hot Blood College 2" king Oguri Shun, became a barber who painstakingly advised his juniors not to fight.
Takayuki Yamada, the king of "Hot Blood College 1", became a custom shop waiter who flirted with the pornographic uncle every day.
Yumi Yanagi, the king of "Hot Blood College 3", is a bookstore clerk who can only show his comic ambitions to high school students who can only rub comics.
In this way, such hard-core teenagers who are struggling to reconcile with reality, their hardships are inherently unheard of by the world, and I am afraid that not many people in today's society are willing to listen to them. I once watched a documentary about the Japanese gangsters, and the once-agitated teenagers were now just ordinary uncles sitting in the tavern, continuing to talk about their motorcycles. One interviewee said in the film that he was willing to pay any price to go back to that era, because then he could do whatever he wanted, and that was the real youth.
Compared with them, we are actually lucky to watch "I Am Big Brother" and recall our youth in a laugh. When you see this article, "I am Big Brother" has ended, and friends who have not seen it must not miss this opportunity to watch ten episodes in one breath! Friendly tips: Remember the ancient precepts to smile without showing teeth, otherwise the face hurts and don't look for me (manual squinting eyes).
In fact, the final battle with the underworld is also a classic routine of hard school bad works, and the routine master Fukuda will certainly not miss it. The fight between bad boys and gangsters is actually a very interesting topic in bad culture, and we have the opportunity to talk about it again. Now the little electric fish just wants to collapse on the bed, waiting for the good news of the renewal of the second season of "I Am Big Brother".
