In 2012, "LUPIN the Third ~ The Woman Named Mine Fujiko~" directed by Sadao Yamamoto added bold explanations to the atmosphere of Monkey Punch's original work and received a lot of praise from Lupin fans. Inheriting that "adult color", the era setting was designed in the second half of the 1960s to the middle of the 1970s, further expanding the hardcore, realism and lust, and more sharply depicting the "past of Lupin and his party", which is Ken Koike's "LUPIN THE III.RD".
Following "The Tombstone of Daisuke Otoji" and "Blood Smoke of Ishikawa Goemon", the third work of the series, "The Lie of Feng Fujiko", starring Lupin and his party, A Little Red Ande, ushered in the series. How will the unscrupulous peak of the prey behave in the new work of 2019. "neol", a snare magazine that collects fashion, art, film, and music, interviewed Ken Koike, the supervisor of the game, on the occasion of the release of the film, what are the interesting episodes of the series from its birth to this work, and what kind of charm does Feng Fujiko have in koike Ken's eyes?
For Ken Koike, the biggest charm of "Lupin III" is the original author Monkey Punch's drawing style and narrative techniques influenced by European and American manga images, and the favorite of animation works is the first one that depicts vehicles, firearms, and installations in great detail. It was the impact of the "adult world" that he felt when he was a child, and he always hoped to create such a real-life Lupin world through his own hands. When he participated in "The Woman Named Feng Fujiko", he took the opportunity to find the producer of the series, Jing Yuanyou, and confessed to his face that he hoped to create a Lupin world that he wanted. And daisuke took the lead in the dimension only because the ratings of the chapter in "The Woman Named Feng Fujiko" were unexpectedly good, and there was no other reason.
When it comes to Feng Fujiko, her intelligent mind, outstanding beauty, and proud figure are her indispensable three elements. On top of these, Koike believes that there is another element that can charm sentient beings, and it is also the key to this work - the sense of mystery. This is the first "Lupin III" in the fuji son to impress her the most. No matter what era he is in, he always takes freedom and self-reliance as his plan of action. No matter which team Lupin is with, he is a brain bearer, and the second son has a mind that is indistinguishable from Lupin, not losing to the action of the dimension and the five right guards, and is the most loyal to her own desires in Lupin III's line, so she always acts alone.
Because Fujiko is invincible, she will set up a "weakness" in this work - the child named Jean appears in this work, thus unfolding the story of Feng Fujiko that has not been shown in the past. He whose purpose is contrary to that of fujiko but acts with him will naturally cause fujiko to be invisibly handcuffed to a shackle called "unfree". "Seduction and verbal techniques [for children] don't work." In the film, this weakness of the fuji son is also pointed out through Lupin's lines. How Fujiko will turn the danger into a disaster in such a situation is also the highlight of this work.
The idea of setting up Fujiko's weaknesses and tying women and children together came from Katsuhito Ishii, executive consultant of the LUPIN THE III.RD series, inspired by the film "Female Glorie" directed by John Cassavetti, but only as a source of inspiration, from which it was necessary to create a completely different escape journey for women and children from "Female Gloria".
Each story in the LUPIN THE III.RD series can be divided into pre- and post-production parts, and the release time is around 54 minutes, which is equivalent to the usual 2 episodes of TV animation. Koike said that although it is less than 1 hour, it is made with the tension of making more than 60 minutes each time, but after repeated verification, it is more suitable for the beginning and end of the story.
Fujiko's outfit is naturally also a major attraction of this work, and the part about the clothing design is basically decided at the script stage, and the costume is changed according to the occasion.
Miyuki Sawagi's voice is soft and rigid, the voice full of charm when flirting with men, the voice that is relaxed when fighting, and the voice that occasionally makes people feel the motherhood when communicating with Jean... Her voice adds to the charm of Fumi fujiko, bringing out fujiko's uncertain personality to the fullest, and her superb acting skills also amaze Koike.
In terms of dubbing, the sound supervisor is basically in charge, and Koike just stands on the sidelines, and if there is a place that is very concerned, then it will be communicated to the sound supervisor. Whether it is Misaki Sawajo's Fujiko or Miyano's Pincam, Koike said that it was perfect and impeccable. However, regarding the dubbing, Koike hopes that everyone can pay special attention to the dialogue between Randy and Jean.
This time, the story unfolds between Fujiko and Jean and Bingham, so Lupin and The Dimension are back in the second line and are basically in a state of "dropped". Although there are not many scenes left for Lupin III, compared with the cunning and playful feeling in the "Lupin III" series, Lupin in "LUPIN THE III.RD" is more deep and calm, and Koike also praises Kurita's accurate grasp.
In the past two works, the original Monkey Punch teacher gave high praise, but unfortunately the teacher passed away on April 11, and before this, he could not appreciate this work, which is the only regret koike feels. Although koike and Monkey teacher did not communicate much, being able to talk to him directly was already the most precious memory of this life. I also feel extremely honored to be able to participate in the creation of this work.
Bincam is a character who is good at melee combat, and the fight scene between Fujiko and this time's fierce enemy Binkam at the end of the film is a good play for Koike's supervision, how to deal with this, what means to reverse the attack, in order to trigger a completely different femininity from the first half of the story, this is Koike's stunt - long shot.
"LUPIN THE III.RD" has reached the third part, and Ken Koike is becoming more and more comfortable with hard school and realism. For the performance of the sense of realism, Koike Ken said that he would try to exclude the common details of general animation as much as possible, and use the long shots used in live-action films, using these long shots to show the character description more detailed, without the "wearing gang" shots in the animation, but also reflecting the sense of presence of the fight scene, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. In long shots, the lines will also become more coherent, but Koike is not worried about the burden on the voice actors, because they are all first-class. For the use of long shots, Koike said that it was mainly derived from his idol Quentin Tarantino.
In addition to Quentin, Koike is also very fond of the giant Fukasaku Shinji. Especially in the previous work "Blood Smoke of Ishikawa Goemon", he was particularly aware of Fukasaku Shinji's style. Some B-rated films feel, but even if they deviate from the mainstream, they still purely pursue the ultimate performance of images.
Regarding the popular "fried cold rice", Koike believes that this does not exist in the "Lupin III" series, "Lupin III" originally launched new works without interruption, and will not be affected by any specific series or works. Koike said that the root of the LUPIN THE III.RD series was because he wanted to make the Lupin he wanted to see a reality.
If only one work is produced or if it is cut off in the middle of the way, it will not constitute a "series", and I can't lift my head in front of everyone, so in "The Lie of Feng Buji", there is also a foreshadowing related to the past two works. At the same time, because it is a movie that I really want to make, I will definitely be responsible for the end of the "LUPIN THE III.RD" series as the goal at this stage. But as for how many films will be produced, Koike said that it is still a blank piece of paper, and everything must be achieved entirely by the support of the audience.
