"Slam Dunk" was released, and many people also entered the cinema because of it.
Only 3 days after its release, the box office has exceeded 300 million, and there will be more audiences in the follow-up to brush second or even triple brushes.
I'm not at all surprised by such results.
After all, a group of hot-blooded teenagers playing basketball have long been reflected in the youth of countless people.
A sentence of "see you in the national competition", waiting for 27 years, "Slam Dunk" finally completed 3 agreements with the audience.
However, after watching the movie, there are a few more things you might want to know.
1. National competition 27 years late
The 31-volume manga of Slam Dunk began serialization in 1990 and was animated three years later.
When I was a child, many people watched the first 1-22 volumes of animation, which is what we often call the TV version.
However, the subsequent volumes 23-31, that is, the national competition chapter, suddenly came to an abrupt end.
As for the reason, it has not been known.
It was not until later, in an interview, that it turned out that Inoue Yuhiko had a conflict with the publishing house and the TV station, and the production of TV animation was terminated.
The reason is simple, TV stations and publishing houses hope that he can meet the expectations of the audience and let Xiangbei win the national championship.
However, Inoue Yuhiko said "no" to this.
He believes that such an ending is completely inconsistent with his original intention!
Therefore, the animation ends with the Xiangbei team boarding the train and heading to the national competition, and there is no follow-up again.
As the ending of the comic, the national competition is undoubtedly the highlight of the entire chapter of "Slam Dunk".
Because of this, the movie version of "Slam Dunk" turned the last battle in northern Xiangbei into a movie.
On the one hand, the complete ending is guaranteed, and on the other hand, it makes up for the regrets of the audience.
2, the final ending of the movie "Slam Dunk"
National competition, masters like clouds.
The Xiangbei team was placed in the "death group" against defending champion Shan King.
In the film, Inoue abandons the linear narrative method and creates a suffocating peak showdown throughout.
Xiangbei was once ahead in the first half, and in the second half, the mountain king used the "zero point tactic" to force Xiangbei into a corner.
In the end, Kaede Rukawa passed the ball to Sakuragi Hanamichi and completed the lore.
The Xiangbei team won the game by a narrow score.
However, the follow-up story, the author Inoue Yuhiko, explained that Xiangbei lost miserably to Aiwa Academy in the next competition, and was eliminated.
Later, in the face of a petition from fans, Inoue Yuhiko refused to continue painting.
His answer remained the same: "This is the best ending I can think of." ”
However, to be honest, "Slam Dunk" can not be drawn like this.
For example, let Xiangbei win the national championship, and then everyone realizes their dreams, and finally let the lover finally become a dependent.
In short, meet all the expectations of fans.
Let me ask, is that still youth?
In fact, after the battle with the mountain king, the people of Xiangbei have already proved themselves on the basketball court.
Although it is a little regrettable, this is the best interpretation of youth.
3, Inoue Yuhiko finally broke his word
In 2004, Slam Dunk was celebrated selling more than 100 million copies.
Inoue Yuhiko came to Misaki High School in Kanagawa Prefecture to hold an exhibition and drew the final story "Ten Days Later" on the blackboard.
In fact, it was ten days after the end of the national competition.
Miyagi became the captain of Shonbei, but also began to worry about not being able to play the role;
Mitsui Shou practiced shooting harder in preparation for next year's national competition;
Akagi does not play basketball, studies seriously, and prepares for university;
Kaede Rukawa learns English and prepares to go to the NBA;
Sakuragi Hanamichi lay on her hospital bed, watching NBA games, vowing to play in the United States, and shouting "Because I'm a genius!" ”
After many readers saw it, some people cried, some people were excited, and some people were happy...
Everyone seemed to have returned to that bloody summer, and soon returned to reality again.
4, the movie "Slam Dunk" still leaves regrets
When many viewers watch the movie "Slam Dunk", they may have a deep resonance with Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede, the century high fives that crossed time and space.
Although I was still touched by the storyline, I couldn't help but leave regrets.
The reason is simple, it seems to be different from the memory of "Slam Dunk".
The story of the movie version still tells the peak showdown between Xiangbei and the mountain king in the national competition.
However, Inoue Yuhiko chooses to unfold the narrative from the perspective of Miyagi Ryota, telling the story of Miyagi Ryota's past, who grew up in a single-parent family, suffered major changes, and finally reaped success and friendship on the basketball court.
It's not too much of a problem, but it always feels like something is missing.
In my opinion, the movie version of "Slam Dunk" that is being released is more like a side story with Ryota Miyagi as the protagonist.
Maybe more interspersed with Kaede Rukawa and Sakuragi Hanamichi, as well as the perspective of Mitsui Shou, maybe the story will be a little better.
Therefore, for some audiences, the movie version of "Slam Dunk" still left a big regret.
5. The story that has to be told behind the scenes of the movie
Whenever the music of "I Want to Say I Love You Out Loud" sounds, it seems that you can feel the blood rushing to your heart.
In fact, as the theme song of "Slam Dunk", its fame is not inferior to the work itself.
This is agreed by the majority, and there is no controversy.
And the ending song of "Slam Dunk" - until the end of the world.
In fact, its real name is not the one that everyone knows now, but "Until the End of the World".
When the song was originally used as the ending song, it was accidentally miswritten as "Until the End of the World".
Unexpectedly, the name is more in line with the animation scenario.
And this is not the first film of "Slam Dunk", as early as 1994 and 1995, related movies were released.
This time, the movie version of "Slam Dunk" corresponds to the content of volumes 25 to 31 of the manga.
The main line of the story comes from the 1998 manga "Earrings" featuring Ryota Miyagi, which depicts his family relationships and childhood experiences.
In general, this wave of "two-way rushing" memory killings has long gone beyond the dimension carried by the movie itself.
There is no so-called novelty, but we can't forget that midsummer, a group of people brought us touch.
After all, after so many years, our hearts are still like teenagers!
