As a veteran film fan, I express my deep admiration for the ability of Japanese people to name TV dramas.
Obviously, China and Japan are in the same cultural circle, and the cultural barriers are small enough.
But I still often don't understand why the Japanese are like this...
Let's name the film and television drama, can we be a little more rustic...
One leisurely afternoon, I opened a video software as usual.
Suddenly, I was caught in the eye by a long text:
At the age of 30, he is still a virgin and seems to become a magician
These sixteen words are read three times in turn, twice upside down, and jumped three times in a column of equal differences.
Found that the words can be read, but connected together... I couldn't understand it.
So, curiosity exploded, I encyclopedia a bit.
This is the name of this BL drama, which is from the Japanese urban legend: a 30-year-old boy who is still a virgin will have magical magic...
Well, then I understand.
But he frowned and found that things were not simple.
So what is this "Rapper Bites You Will Become Rapper"?
Rapper is known to mean rapper.
Isn't it true that there is also an urban legend in Japan that rap skills can be spread through human bites???
Well, could this be...
Did the 30-year-old virgin get the magic...
And this drama is not yet the title party, the screenwriter is honestly in the people.
Honestly summarizes the main content of the play in one sentence. (Resulting in the audience being dissuaded even more)
The main story line is:
The townspeople are suddenly turned into zombies, and not only that, but the zombies even sing rap!
Whoever gets bitten turns into the same zombie rapper! If the heroine and others want to survive, they must fight with rapper zombies with each other...
I couldn't understand it, but I was blown away.
In the name of the Japanese drama, there is also the classic "how to do" series.
"What to do if my brother loves me too much"
"What to do if my sister loves me too much"
"What should I do if I'm too popular"
……
Me: What if humans are too Versailles?
I was also impressed by another: "Please don't chant the Buddha in the ward";
The male protagonist is both a monk and an emergency doctor.
As soon as he appeared in the ward, people were panicked...
Because either he is going to save people this time, or he is going to go beyond people...
So this drama I would like to call it: "Heal Me, Exceed Me"...
What else is "I'm going to live well in the next life";
This life is also good to live well...
"Something Is Wrong With Us";
I like this kind of self-aware person.
"We Can't Be Beasts";
Listen to the king's words, as if listening to one seat.
"My Husband's Job Incompetence";
Fortunately, it was just incompetent work.
Shaving. Then picked up the female high school students. 》；
Me: Write. Then write about the work injury.
"My Business Is a Long Story";
Your name doesn't read short either...
"Had a Great Time Last Night";
How enjoyable, to expand on, I have color in my mind...
"I want to eat your pancreas";
Don't come here... I'm going to call the police...
"Please fall in love with me who waste firewood";
I politely reject you.
"Even so I still like you";
Thank you.
"Maybe suddenly, tomorrow I'm going to get married";
A hundred years of good union, Goodeby (good bye).
There is a word between the lines that reveals the sadness and helplessness, the listener sheds tears, the smeller is sad, and the grief of the workers is reversed into the title of the Yellow River.
It is called:
"I work for a black company and can't stand it anymore"
Of course, in the above mentioned dramas, there is no shortage of high-quality and high-quality works, but it is the title of this play... It's hard to put into words.
Why is the name of a Japanese TV series so strange and nonsensical?
One is related to the language differences between China and Japan, and the daily expression habits;
The other has to do with the fierce competitive environment.
Every day, new works come out, and viewers may only have a few seconds to decide whether to watch a film or tv series.
The title of the play reflects the content, point of view, and style of a play, which is an important factor affecting the audience's judgment.
In order to attract the attention of the audience, the producers did everything they could to make the name of the play...
Over time, it became what we see now.
All in all, the naming of Japanese dramas probably follows the following points:
1. Condense the main content of the TV series.
2. Highlight the highlights.
3. The title of the play is too long, and some will use some punctuation marks to increase the sense of tone.
However, even after understanding the naming routine of Japanese dramas, sometimes I still can't guess what this drama is about...
For example, "Where Did My Skirt Go".
When I looked at this name, I thought it was the story of an urban beauty who loved to lose her skirt.
Who knows, this turned out to be a 52-year-old gay women's clothing tycoon, teaching experience as a teacher in a private luxury high school...
Another example is "In a world that is neither black nor white, the panda laughs".
Seeing the title of this play, most viewers have in mind "a giant panda that likes to smile on a cloudy day"
But in fact, the plot is a social theme story about "male and female protagonists jointly investigating the gray events in the world and exposing the hidden truth"...
Fortunately, there are also several TV series that play by the rules.
For example, "Hell Rock Chapter of Early Death and Early Reincarnation".
It is about a male high school student who died young, reincarnated repeatedly in hell in order to visit his former crush.
Then, after completing his wish, he and the other ghosts in hell play rock and roll together...
Don't underestimate this story, the Douban score is 7.8!
And "Every day when I come home, I see my wife pretending to be dead."
The real name is like its drama, and the man's wife is pretending to die every day to show the man.
The richness of his death methods and the superb acting skills are true, which makes me clap my hands and applaud.
The last time I saw it seemed to be in "Forensic Qin Ming"...
Of course, the corpse in "Forensic Qin Ming" is not as cute and loving as the male protagonist's wife...
And "It Would Feel Disgusting If It's Called Being in Love."
I risked being mentally hurt and dared to watch a little bit of this anime.
Indeed, if this is called love, it feels a little disgusting...
"Diary of the Achievements of a 38-Year-Old Divorced Single Woman Trying a Blind Date APP"
"I won't obey what Kurosaki says"
"Male copywriter, take parental leave"
Can't Write It!? Screenwriter Keisuke Yoshimaru's Unorganized Life"
"A Year of Meeting 70 People Through Dating Sites and Recommending Books to Their Liking"
"Young Pig-headed Teenagers Don't Dream of Bunny Girl Sister"
"The World That Will Absolutely Become BL VS The Man Who Never Wants to Become BL"
These various titles are now a culture in the Japanese film and television industry.
If one day, the title of the play is normal, it is estimated that the audience is a little unaccustomed.
Audiences who love Japanese dramas know that the settings of Japanese dramas are always very strange and eye-opening;
However, these Japanese dramas can convey warmth and true feelings through funny settings, bring us laughter and laughter, and heal a tired heart.
This is also the unique charm of exclusive Japanese dramas.
What other interesting title do you know?
