There is such a type of work, the plot, painting are very good, but sometimes like to engage in some of the public's favorite benefits, rubbing the edge of the ball is basically indispensable, such as Umezu Taichen's "Kite", 17 years of comic animation "Wild Gambling Abyss" are such animations.
This kind of work is not like a simple welfare-oriented animation, just to show people the welfare is pulled down, but on the basis of excellent production, or for the sake of the plot need to do a good job (GHS), or add some old color critics of the director's personal bad taste.
Today's animation to talk about, the old color batch with many benefits can eat support, but the content is very excellent, and the douban has obtained a high score of 8.7, this animation is——
The Golden Boy
Mr. Oe, a graduate of the Faculty of Law at the University of Tokyo, gave up his diploma and worked in society, although he completed his credits ahead of schedule.
He was not satisfied with staying in one place, and every time he learned new knowledge from this place of work, he quickly rode his own pink two-eight bars to the new place of work.
One day, when he was working, he was suddenly hit by a car, but he did not expect that the president who hit him was a rich and powerful president, and directly gave a million yen to Kintaro to let him repair the car.
Kintaro did not expect to see the president again, and the next day he went to the Internet company where he worked, only to find that the owner of the company happened to be the beautiful president who bumped into him.
The president saw that Kintaro was a newcomer, so he only arranged for him to clean the toilet and other chores, Kintaro began to YY the president when cleaning the toilet, just happened to be bumped into by her, originally wanted to directly open Kintaro.
In the end, Kintaro struggled to stay, but he still had to start with chores, and the president looked at Kintaro's efforts and had a change in his impression of him.
However, because Kintaro did not know much about computers because he did not have a computer at home when he was teaching himself, he directly unplugged the power supply of the whole office when cleaning, resulting in the software that the company was making had to be redone.
Later, the president found that Kintaro had spent all the million he had given him, and completely thought that he was a rotten person, which led the president to open Kintaro in a fit of anger.
However, just a week later, the president was overwhelmed because he could not meet the deadline for delivering the software, but found that Kintaro had already made a piece of software and sent it to the president, and the president also secretly approved of him because of Kintaro's ability.
She hurried to chase after Kintaro, but found that Kintaro was long gone.
At this time, two old men came to the company to find Kintaro, and the president learned after a question that It turned out that Kintaro had given the car repair boss a million to pay off the money of the underworld.
"Golden Boy" is basically the story of Kintaro working in various places, and each episode can meet a beautiful woman.
However, Kintaro belongs to the strange people who cannot delay their studies no matter how colorful, and the beautiful women of any place cannot make him stop and stay.
If you ask which woman is his main palace, it may be that learning is the real main palace.
The most difficult thing about this harem is to distinguish the temperament of different heroines, and "Golden Boy" does this perfectly.
In painting, it is not possible to distinguish who is who just by taking off the hair, and the character setting also makes the characters' personalities and hobbies in line with their experiences.
For example, in the third episode, Kintaro goes to work at a noodle shop, and meets Noriko, the daughter of the noodle shop owner, who is not an open type at all.
In this episode, the director does not put any welfare shots at all, so as to avoid causing the character setting to feel uncoordinated with what she has done, and the hobby flower arrangement set by the director for Noriko is also completely in line with her youthful and quiet image.
The heroines of the second and fifth episodes, Naoko Katsuta and Reiko Terayama, have a great contrast with Noriko's image, and their personality settings are closely related to their own background, which will only make people feel logical.
For example, Naoko Katsuta came from a family of mayors involved in the black, because her father's majesty no one dared to approach her, leading her to hope to find (seduce) a man with a backbone, not afraid of his father's majesty, to be her boyfriend.
And Reiko Terayama, because she came from a traditional rich family with many rules, also caused her to look very polite on the surface, but she was actually a person who liked to drag racing.
In addition to the excellent character development, the plot of this animation is also excellent.
For example, in the sixth episode, Kintaro went to work for an animation company, because this company happened to supervise the hospital, and the construction period could not be completed, and Kintaro contacted the heroines he knew before to help.
The president of the Internet company helped make the cg effect; Naoko Katsuta acted as a voice actress; Noriko sent udon noodles to cheer up the employees; Sumizu Squirrel took her own swimming position for the animation company to use; and when the negatives were almost undelivered, Reiko Terayama rode her motorcycle to help hand over the negatives.
The setting of this plot brings together all the heroines that Kintaro has met, which makes people feel reasonable and very novel.
Of course, the male protagonist is still too arrogant in essence, and his speed of learning will still make the audience feel a little unreasonable.
However, the comedic elements added to the animation dilute the unreasonableness to a certain extent, turning the male protagonist's pretense into a laughing point, which can also make the off-line plot in the animation accepted by the audience.
Of course, if only the plot is outstanding, then this animation is just an ordinary bloody animation, and the most outstanding thing about Golden Boy is the exquisite language of the camera.
For example, in the third episode, in order to show Thatkiko misunderstands that Kintaro does not approve of her relationship with Kitsuki, she uses some crooked pictures to formally reflect a feeling of instability.
In this episode, when Mu Twilight wants to attack Noriko at the horse farm, when he actually touches Kintaro, he also uses the camera of riding a horse with Mu Twilight to touch the male protagonist around, reflecting his X desire.
This is a metaphorical picture, which well reflects Mu Twilight's impatient mood.
This technique of editing, known as tonal montage, usually cuts together several shots of the same theme or emotion to reinforce the meaning of the entire shot.
In the fourth episode, when Kintaro first met the swimming champion Fast Water Mackerel, the director used hitchcock zoom, that is, the effect of the character's immovable background shrinking to shoot the fast water cantata.
This technique is generally to express people's fear psychology, and here it reflects the psychology of Kintaro's color intentions, which is also very appropriate.
If you go to see the credits of Golden Boy, you will naturally not be surprised by the wonderful production of this animation.
Director Hiroyuki Kitakubo once directed different short stories with Katsuhiro Otomo and Yasuto Umezu in an anime "Robot Carnival".
Another director, Hiroyuki Morita, was once recruited to direct "The Cat's Reward" when Ghibli was recruiting new people.
In addition to the director, other staff members also have a lot of resumes, such as the painting supervisor Hiroshi Izusaka, the character design Kawamoto Toshihiro, and later held the same position in "Star Cowboy".
It is this group of animators who have joined forces to create this wonderful work.
