The Freedom of Expression-Ep 22, Guest: Morikawa Toshiyuki
(starts with casual baseball talk between J, K, and T while watching the game)
J: Ah! Leader! We already started! The director is waving!
K: Haha, oh yeah.
J: The broadcast already started! There are aready comments coming in! We were too engrossed in the game!
K: We actually have yesterday's game on our screen here. This is the moment where Hiroshima are about to score.
J: Aghh, no! What a terrible time to start the show!
K: Yeah, haha
J: What an awful show, so insensitive! Anyway, Kaoru, please introduce yourself.
K: Yep, This is The Freedom of Expression Live, Im Kaoru from Dir en grey.
J: And I'm Joe Yokomizo.
T: And I'm Tasai from Tokyo Sports
*applause*
J: Yes, so the viewers can't see, but we are watching the game from yesterday on the channel DAZONE, between Hanshin and Hiroshima in the Climax Series. And this is just where Hiroshima score??
K: Yeah
J: But you dont care, right??!
K: Hahaha. What do you mean by that?!
J: *looks at the game* Aghhaghhh! Thats where they scored?!
K: Yeah, see. Its terrible, we might lose!! (*sarcasm - He already knows Hanshin won the game*)
J: Oh, you are awful!
K: Hahaha
J: You know, Kaoru was so happy in the dressing room, I've never seen him so smug!
K: No no...
J: Those were the kind of smiles you would never expect from the Leader of DIR EN GREY!
K: Hahaha
J: You didn't have a care in the world! Anyway, Leader, today is gonna be a kind of celebration special edition for 'THAT', right?
K: Yeah
J: And 'THAT' is...
T: Joe, don't forget about Youtube!
J: Ah, Youtube! We are broadcasting on youtube too! But hey, Youtube viewers! Only half way for you! Do not imagine that you can watch the whole thing on Youtube!
T: Joe, don't make them sad.
J: No, I mean they can see the juicy parts on youtube, and then be lured over to Niconama. Its a sophisticated trap, you see.
K: Well, yeah, right?
J: Yes, but hey, there are a lot of comments coming through on youtube too. You can see their names.
T: Yeah, like "Its the Tigers collab Happi coat!"...Yeah, it is.
J: Ok, Leader, remind everyone again what we are celebrating!
K: Well, the Hanshin Tigers have made it to the Nihon Series.
*loud applause*
J: Congratulations! They made it at last!
K: Ah, I thought this moment would never come....Eh?!
*Morikawa san enters singing the Hanshin Tigers song 'Rokkou Oroshi'*
M: 🎶Rokkou oroshi ni sassou to
souten kakeru nichirin no
seishun no haki uruwashiku
kagayaku waga na zo Hanshin Tigers
Oh oh oh oh Hanshin Tigers
Fure Fure Fure Fure🎶
(※Official Eng lyrics found here.
'Dashing swiftly through the wind blowin’ from Rokko
Like the big sun soaring in the clear blue sky
Mighty spirit of the youth shows the victor’s grace
The name that shines in glory “Hanshin Tigers”
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Hanshin Tigers
Go, Go, Go, Go!')
Congratulations!
*applause*
J: Incredible! It's today's guest, voice actor Morikawa Toshiyuki!
M: Thank you
J: Your spirits are not dampened!
M: No, really, congratulations.
J: But what are you doing here?!
M: Well, I was hoping that it would be me and Kaoru watching a Hanshin vs DeNA game today. ※T.N-Morikawa is a DeNa(Yokohama) fan.
J: Ahh, now you are in a difficult position!
M: Ah, but really, Hanshin have been so strong this year! We were well and truly beaten.
J: Kaoru, don't you have anything to say to Morikawa san?
K: About Yokohama? Well, last year WE were well and truly beaten by them! We didn't get a single win at their stadium. We couldn't win!
J: Haha, look at Morikawa san's smug face.
M: This was my face last year!
J: Haha, right?!
K: Honestly though, I'm glad we ended up with Hiroshima instead of Yokohama this time. Yokohama would have been scary!
M: Yeah, I can understand what you mean. Actually, I told Coach Miura(Coach/manager of DeNA) that I was coming on this show..
J, T, K: Ehhh?!
M: I said, 'I'm going on Kaoru from Dir en grey's show to undergo public execution...
J, K, T: Hahaha
M: Anyway, he told me to make sure to talk a lot about the greatness of Yokohama.
J: I see, I see...Uhh, we're gonna be kinda celebrating later though...
T: Joe, don't say that to our guest!
M: Hahaha
J: But hey, you've written a lot down for us to use later on, right??!
M: Yes, but why don't you explain the connecton between myself and Kaoru.
J: Oh, of course, the connection is that Morikawa san provided the narration for the Dir en grey interview special that was broadcast on WOWOW last month!
*applause*
K: Thank you!
M: Oh, no, it was my pleasure.
J: By the way, the WOWOW interview special will actually be broadcast again tonight at 2:45am...
K: Oh, great timing!
J: Right?! So everyone, please check it out. Anyway, because of this connection, here we are with Yokohama fan Morikawa for this Hanshin crelebratory special!!
T: Look at that comment! "All my fave people in a row, I'm about to have a heart attack!"
J: Ahh, wow. Hey, by the way, how did you two come around to this idea of baseball talk?
M: Well, this is actually the first time we've met.
J: Really?!
K: Yeah
J: Well, Yokohama were doing better last year, now its maybe a bit of a tougher position for you, but you are just here for your team, right?
M: Yes
J: So, just say whatever you like.
M: Haha, I'll try my best.
J: Ok, the notifications. We are always asking for comments and messages from viewers. Anything is ok, thoughts, suggestions, requests, anything. People using X, formerly Twitter, can use the hastag TFOE to contact us. Anyone can watch the first half of the show for free, but you need to be a member to watch to the end. If you become a member, you can watch these broadcasts in the archives for one year, and also enjoy members only videos. So please use the link at the top if your screen to join, Leader, point to it please, and enjoy the show to the end. Ok, lets just take this moment to properly introduce Morikawa san. Tasai san, could you?
T: Well, he needs no introduction, I'm sure you all know him, but he has had a career in voice acting spanning 40 years! He has worked in anime, narration, dubbing for foreign movies...He is even known as the king of BL anime. In anime he had voiced Ubuyashiki Kagaya in Demon Slayer, Takumi in NANA, Nick in Zootopia, the second voice for Nohara Hiroshi in Crayon Shin-chan, and so many more that its impossible to count them! For foreign movies, he has voiced the dubs for Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, for Keanu Reeves...I mean, even just those two are exciting enough! And if you go to Disney Sea, you will also hear Morikawa san's voice in certain areas of the park too.
J: Ah, incredible! Well, it would be great to hear some stories from the world of voice acting from you, but for the main part I wanna try and stick to baseball talk.
M: Hanshin talk, right? Hanshin winning, right?
J: Yeah, hey by the way, speakIng of your work, are you actually in a band too?
M: Oh yeah, kinda. Its like a vocal unit with fellow voice actor Tachiki Fumihiko san. He has quite a husky voice. So its him and me, and we are called '2Hearts'. But both of us tend to have a really busy VA schedules, so its actually a miracle if ever our schedules coincide...in one sense we are a miracle pairing, haha.
J, K, T: Hahaha
M: I'm hoping we can actually do more with that.
J: You did the narration for Dir en grey's interview special, so that must mean you were aware of Dir en grey?
M: Of course, I knew of them. But I'm quite seperated from the music world in general, so since I was asked to do the narration, I've done a bit of checking online, sorry!
K: No, no
M: But I thought you guys were really cool! As for rock, I like hard rock most. I LOVE Guns and Roses, I used to listen to nothing else! Years ago when I went to LA, I went to see them in West Hollywood in this venue called Troubadour. Its a really old place, The Doors, and Jim Morrison etc have played there before. Anyway, I was able to join them on stage! I'm just a VA, but I told them I was an artist, and they let me sing! I love them so much. There's also the venue called Whisky a go go, right? Thet let me on stage there too!
T: Did you sing there??
M: No, I didn't sing there, just went onstage.
J: On this topic, do you have any questions for Kaoru about the music world?
M: Well, you've come so far with one band, but don't the members ever feel like going in different directions? Haven't they changed their outlook since starting the band?
K: Hmm, yeah. Well, things do come up sometimes which we have to discuss and work out, but generally yeah, we haven't changed all that much. No one has ever really directly said, 'We need to do this!' or ' We need to go like this!' or that kind of thing. Someone might say something like, 'I'd like to do something like this for the next album', but no one has ever actually tried to force the band a certain way.
M: Ahh, but still, to continue on like this...the members must all be of the same feeling.
J: Isnt it kinda like family, being in a band?
K: If it were like family, wouldn't you eventually wanna leave though?
J: Ah, ok, yes. If you are with them constantly, you wanna leave home..
M: Like, 'I'm leaving home!' haha
K: Yeah, hahaha.
J: Hey, a comment just came in saying Morikawa san's songs are also really cool! Is it that you were having musical differences with the partner in your vocal unit?
M: No, no, its simply that both our schedules are too busy.
J: I see, ok, haha. Lets just leave it at that. Uh, so I'd like us to focus on baseball if we can. Yokohama didn't do so well this year, but Morikawa san, how long have you actually been a fan of Yokohama.
M: Oh, I've been going to watch them for as long as I can remember, my parents would take me...as Yokohama fans. Well, the team are the Yokohama DeNA Baystarts now, but back then they were called the Yokohama Taiyou Whales.
J: Ahhh yes! The first baseball hat I ever bought was a Yokohama Taiyou Whales hat! I liked that player, John Sipin!
M: Then why did you become a Hanshin fan??
J: No, no, this is just for this show!
M, K, T: Hahaha
J: I honestly know nothing about baseball though.
K: Surely you never wore that?!
J: No, I did in elementary school. There wasn't anything else going on in those days, there wasn't pro-soccer, or anything like that.
M: But to wear a Taiyou baseball hat then, that was ahead if its time!
J: Yes! The orange and green, right?! It was a forerunner, right? You would get bullied just for wearing it!
K, M, T: Hahah
M: Anyway, since that time I've been going to the Kawasaki stadium, and also the Meiji Jingu stadium. Actually, back then the stands in the Jingu stadium were all just earth/soil. I used to be always sat with my back to the game digging holes in the mud, and the Taiyou players would get mad at me.
K, J, T: Hahaha
M: Like, 'Oi, start supporting us!!'. There were that few people there, that the players would shout over to me for more support!
J: Haha, so empty! You couldn't even get away with taking your eyes off the game?
M: Right!
J: Conversely, the players should have been focussing on what they were doing! Nevermind looking at you!
M: Haha, yeah. So since then we have gone a looong time without any major wins.
J: From my point of view, its seems like Hanshin and Yokohama are both the same kinda 'often losing' team.
K: Thats right.
M: Hanshin have been Japan champions once before, right?
K: Yes
J: What about Yokohama?
M: Twice! Twice! hahaha.
J: Omg, no fair! The Giants and such are always winning!
M: The fist time Yokohama won was in the 1960s.
J: What?! The same era as the Vietnam war?! What are you saying? Don't you have anything more recent to celebrate??
K: Haha
M: Well, they won again more recently in 1998.
T: The Machine Gun lineup?
M: Yes, thats right. So I took a day off work then, and celebrated with them from the stands.
J: Ah, you were there? So you understand how Kaoru feela now?
M: Yes, I do. But for Kaoru, the real fight starts from here, right? You are aiming for No.1 in Japan, right?
K: Yeah
M: So if it all goes smoothly, Hanshin will be number 1, they will enjoy celebrating, and then by next season they can return back to the lower levels to cool off....
K: Hahaha
J: Ah, harsh! Next year will be the Baystars' year?
M: I hope so!
J: Thats harsh, pulling Hanshin down off their pedestal like that!
K: Haha
J: Morikawa san, I like your character!
M: No, but you know, once the players reach their goal of becoming No.1 in Japan, they have a lot going on. They will have their celebratory trip, they will be pampered in all their interviews...
J: They will appear on tv shows too.
M: Yes, so following all this, its back to the grind.
J: By the way, Kaoru, we will talk more about this in the second part, but did you think the Baystars were strong this year?
K:. Yeah, but Hanshin were stronger. haha. Last year we were totally beaten by them though.
M: Yeah, but since Okada became the manager of Hanshin, they've really transformed.
K: Our opening match this season was with Yokohama, and we had a good start straight away, so I was excited about that.
J: You thought it might happen?
K: Yeah, oh, also, last year and the year before, Yakult came out top in the Central league, but this year they were in 5th place. So its like Morikawa san said, about slumping after you win.
M: Yeah, Yalkult's slogan this year is 'Ok, lets go'...
J,K,T: Hahaha
M: Go where???
J: It sounds like to just go shopping or something, haha.
M: So you can really tell where they're at now by looking at their slogan.
T: What was Yokohama's slogan this year?
M: It was, 'Yokohama Challenge'.
J: Oh, Challenge is a good word. What was Hanshin's slogan again?
K: THAT (アレ/A.R.E)
J: Oh, thats what THAT was?? I didn't realise that was the slogan!!
K: Hahaha
J: They won with that slogan?? Maybe I should make THAT my life motto!...Ok, I think we still have a bit more time on the free section....Yes, I finally understand what THAT means. But Hanshin have had a lot of different managers before, right? This year's manager, Okada, if you even just look at his face, he is shocking.
T: Joe, don't say that.
K: He has a serious look.
J: He does! What do you think is good about him?
K: Well, he believes in the team. He was saying, Why couldn't the team win last year, even with this great lineup?? So he is just making most of the team.
J: Morikawa san, what do you think it is that has made Okada lead the team to victory?
M: He is unwavering. Since he started the role...There was one time this season where, what was it again? That thing with one of the other directors about changing the pitcher. I really thought he was determined when I saw that. He envisions the future victory over the of situation right in front of him. Some fans and other people were questioning his decisions previously, but now they don't really. I think maybe he is also a bit difficult to approach. For those young player, he is too much of a legend, there is quite a distance between them. I think thats a good thing. Like, even if he gets too serious...
J: He has a kind of dignity about him, or a kind of simultaneous dignity and foolishness.
K: Yeah, so he doesn't even have to say things directly.
J: Really? I see. Is it also that he prioritizes the team as a whole over individual players skills, and that mindset has then permeated the team?
M: Yes, there is an element of that.
T: Tasai, whats your opinion?
T: Well, just as the others have said, but also, if you look at the Pacific league, teams like Orix and Lotte are always changing up their batting order, they don't really play baseball with a fixed shape, wheres Hanshin are really playing and winning 'proper' baseball, by keeping a solid team each time.
K: They havnt really changed up their order at all since starting the season.
J: Oh, is that unusual?
K: Well, it used to be the norm, but teams change up their order more often these days.
J: Oh, look at the screen! Its showing footage from 1985.
K: This was the year Hanshin got to No.1 in Japan.
M: Okada was a player then, right?
K: Yes, he was.
J: I'm not entirely sure if my memory serves me right, but was that also when Kakefu san and Bass san were in the team.
K: Yes, yes. Thats when Colonel Sanders was thrown into the river.
J: Oh, that was then?! Osaka people are crazy!
K, T, M: Hahaha
J: Why on earth did they throw Colonel Sanders into the river??
K: Cause it looks like Bass!
J: Really?? They need their brains checking! I don't understand that at all, haha. I didn't know it was thrown in because it looked like Bass. Ahhh. If you compare 1985 to this year, how are they different?
K: Oh, they are totally different.
M: The style of baseball is different too.
J: Ok, please explain, I'm sure there are many viewers like me who know nothing. How is the style different?
K: There used to be...what was it called, the lucky zone. It made it easier to get home runs, if your hit landed in there. It was like a fence, slightly inward from the wall.
M: In high school baseball too, the lucky zone became kinda like a bullpen.
J: Oh I see. But now it doesn't exist?
K: No, it used to be easier to get a home run.
J: Ahh, I see. Well, I suppose the game changes as technology advances. And the pitchers must be throwing different balls too.
K: Yeah, their throwing speed is much faster.
J: How fast can they throw?
T: They can easily throw at 150km these day.
J: Wow, thats amazing, I didn't know that. I gave up watching baseball a long time ago, but I'm giving my all with it just for today.
T: Actually, I have a question for Morikawa san...What would you say was the one thing the Baystars were missing this year, which would have helped them win? From the fans' perspective.
J: Ahh, thats a tough question! Don't we need alcohol yet?
M: No, its ok. Well, before the season started, all the fans agreed that the lineup we had ready was going to give us the best chance to win. But the reality was that after the season started, the conditions of each individual player didn't combine to make the team we had hoped for. It wasnt the right balance, and of course Yamazaki etc were unwell. And then there was Soto, he joined the team midway during corona, and he was here from the start of the season this year. But he somehow didn't excel. A lot of the players who we had placed high expectations on didn't quite fullfill their potential. They couldn't keep the batting line connected. The pitchers did a god job, but their fatigue started to show in the later stages. While we were busy trying to figure out how to retain a good balance, Hanshin just shot off into the lead.
K: But at one point Yokohama did catch up so there was one one game between us.
M: Yeah, that was our peak, haha. We thought we were on a roll then, we we actually just sunk straight down after that.
K: I had thought that might be the end for Hanshin.
J: Weren't you pretty happy in the early stages??
K: No, no. As I said before, I couldn't trust the team. I thought our only future was to start losing.
M: As for the balance between the six teams, Chunichi just couldn't win. All the other five teams were determined not to lose against them.
J: If you lost against them you were hopeless?
M: Yes, and then Yakult found themselves falling.
T: And then The Giants suffered bit.
M: Oh, 10 in a row, right?
J: Morikawa san, no wonder you have no time for your band activity, you are too busy watching baseball!
M: Haha, no I watch it at night, I record the games and watch them later.
J: Ahh, you really love it though. Ok, so we are at about 30 mins now, so we have come to the end of the first part of the show. When we start the second part we will do Kanpai, and get straight into the party to celebrate..is it the Central league win?
M: No, the CS (Climax Series) win.
J: Ah, ok. So ever, please have a drink ready to join us for that. That will make it a bit more exciting for those of you like me who know nothing about baseball. So, everyone please become a member. Let me explain how it works. The second part of this show is for members only, so you have to be a channel member if you want to watch to the end. If you join, you can watch this broadcast in the archives for a year, and you will also get an extra members only video in the coming days. We challenge ourselves to all sorts in these extra videos so please 'Check It Out!'. Ok, How to join! There should be a blue link at the top of your screens now. Leader is pointing to it. Please use this link to joIn. Also, thank you to everyone who has been watching on youtube. We will continuing on Niconama, so please use the link in the discription to jump over to niconama. Ok, here's how to pay for membership. If you click the blue link, you will get a page asking you to choose your method of payment. Choose your preferred method, click proceed, enter your details, and thats it. If you have yet to join, please do so to enjoy the rest of the show. So, Morikawa san, do you have ny announcements?
M: Announcements? Not Yokohama related? Haha. Well, I'm currently featuring in a movie showing nationwide, called The Creator. I'm doing the voiceover for Ken Watanabe for some reason.
K: Wow!
M: So please check it out in theaters. I'm Ken Watanabe!
T: Thats interesting, haha.
J: How many actors have you provided voice-overs for so far?
M: I've never counted, you count them.
J: Not like 100?
M: Oh no..
T: Its more like 10,000.
K: You know, Ken Watanabe is also a Hanshin fan.
J: Morikawa san, how far are you gonna stray into away territory?!
M: Very, haha.
J: I feel for you wearing that shirt.
M: Actually, yesterday, I mean this morning, I was speaking to Mizuki Nana, who sung the naitonal anthem and Rokko Oroshi at the first game of the Climax series. She was telling me she was trembling, singing the national anthem at such an important game before the whole stadium. Anyway, thats a bit of trivia for you.
J: Really?
K: It was our first time hosting a CS final at Koshien too.
J: Oh, I see. Hey, how about Dir en grey doing that?
K: Doing what??
J: Singing the national anthem.
K: Who would sing it??
J: I don't know...You could, Kaoru!
K: Haha, no way.
J: You can do it Kaoru! We'll be supporting you!! Anyway, Kaoru, any announcements?
K: Uh, the tour starts from next month, so please check it out.
J: How are preparations going?
K: Getting there.
J: Oh good. Haha, yeh, someone commented 'Metal growl opening ceremony'. Anyway, please check out the tour if you can. We will have a quick break here while we change over to the members only content with more from Morikawa san, so wait right there. Back soon! 'I became a member!' Thank youuu!

一个精神病gay的回忆录
致命游戏(2024) 我的评分:★★★★☆
这部在四川大英等地拍摄的四川省十四五重点项目剧集讲述了一个母胎单身的男同性恋因为梦见在游戏里与人搞gay,醒来后意犹未尽念念不忘穷其一生开发游戏与其再次相见的故事。
尾声看到阮澜烛是凌久时做出来的游戏角色时,雷得我半晌说不出人话。
当然这个剧不止尾声雷人,两个男主,一个长相嶙峋,一个演技猥琐,雷人是这个剧从始至终一贯到底的气质。
万万没想到在既无颜值也无演技的绝境下,国产剧里基本没有的一个元素——剧情,它空降救场了。
更没想到是硬核搞鬼剧情,搞得还有理有据有头有尾。一个擅长恐怖题材的导演在恐怖剧本里恐怖发挥,也不知道谁为谁量身定做。作为本剧唯一大咖,点进彭发豆瓣页面将会看到此人最受好评的五部作品中无间道和致命游戏同台这种神奇场面。
本剧在澳门新葡京美女荷官在线发牌官方网站上线后,有不少剧集原作对比向内容出现,看剧时的雷点绝大多数都来自原作我又一万个没想到。
从单元制作看,个人的全剧最佳单元是鬼父和英才高校。
英才高校的打光和剪辑最优,视听呈现一流,鬼父的元素应用最妙,立意也是所有关卡最高。不单恐怖场景的刻画,这两个关卡的剧本都大幅修改原作设定,甚至改出了高于原作的效果。这在连照抄原作提取剧情都难以做到的国产改编剧里,简直如神迹降临。
英才高校的原作设定是,玩家进入学校宿舍后,宿舍床板及柜子里贴的是红色符纸,且符纸可保护玩家不受门神攻击。
剧集将符纸改成奖状,且不明确交待奖状的有无对玩家的利弊。撕下或保留奖状都可能触发禁忌条件。
不知是哪位编剧改的这处细节,堪称神来之笔,我宣布他自己一个人可以仅凭此段拿一个最佳改编剧本。
你知道当我看到他们��开床垫打开柜子发现贴得到处都是密密麻麻的奖状时那种瞬间毛骨悚然的感觉吗?
多看一眼会应激的惊悚。
当然,如果你校园生活幸福可能体会不到。
这个奖状不仅恐怖氛围一流,悬疑设计巧妙,也成为与门神高度相关的重要伏笔,奖状之所以出现在宿舍是完全有缘由的。而非原作里一个可有可无帮助玩家的道具。
原作中江信鸿也是坏人,门神最后含恨消失。
剧中的江信鸿则是合理懦弱,在面对门神被校园霸凌时想救而不敢,最后与门神解开误会。
剧版这个伟光正的结局并不虚伪。是有逻辑、可令人接受的伟光正。
更重要的是,剧本在达成这个伟光正之前,三番五次反转剧情,至少设计了三段不同的冲突,大大增强了故事可看性。光是门神在郊游被欺辱那段,演员都演了至少三个版本?从这一点看,改编也比原作好。
本恐怖片不耐受星人因为实在太害怕这个关卡,至今不敢写关卡主角的名字。
此关卡中的所有东西都让我害怕。校园恐怖的恐怖不在于恐怖,在于,校园。它做得比所有国产校园剧都校园。
鬼父几乎全篇推翻原作设定,以一男带三娃开场,诡异阴森的男主人搭配闪灵双胞胎加一的黑长直女娃,头上红发卡口中卡鸡蛋,画面过于鬼畜,鬼父称号名副其实。
后来发现三胞胎女娃其中一个是鬼父他妈。更鬼父了。
关卡中阈限空间感十足的回廊、公共浴室、昏暗转角,时隐时现的含蛋小男孩,每次都在晚上看这剧的我真是被吓得少活五十年。
尤其那几处占满画面的血红字幕转场。每次一duang出来就像在给我的生命倒计时。
这个文字叙事只在鬼父和箱妖出现过。用得可以说是起死回生。尤其箱妖情节薄弱,文字叙事融进故事中,增强了剧情节奏和画面质感,这个杂糅了新世纪福音战士和Skam(?)的表现手法大幅提升逼格。
此外,本关的内核居然还包含很多国产剧想炫又炫不来的人文关怀。剧情元素既惊悚又穿越既科幻又多重时空既喜剧又温情,杂糅在一起居然没有不伦不类,故事伏线完整回收,鬼父的偏执和误入歧途的自我拯救显得最后的圆满真挚可信,看得人眼前一亮。
剧本的关卡改编相比原作更生动紧凑,情节取舍得当详略有度,门内世界的恐怖和危险在视听效果加持下被渲染得格外真实,镜头语言临场感强,jump scare和东洋恐怖结合得自然流畅,稀烂的配音令两位男主本不富裕的演技雪上加霜,使原本恐怖的剧情更添惊悚。是国产剧少见的去原作糟粕取其精华的改编。
每个关卡的恐怖之处在于,剧情一直在展现不确定的危险,触发就会死的禁忌条件是什么不知道,对手是什么不知道,如何解决不知道,全是来自未知的恐惧。
原作中亦有不少双男主女装闯关情节,实写剧集放弃阮南烛是女装大佬这种极其二次元的设定完全是明智之选。
现实并非没有女装大佬,但你无法要求一个一米九双开门霸总,在霸总的时候一米九双开门,在女装的时候又美艳小巧。
小说可以任凭读者想象,读者脑中的人物形象可依需随时变幻。一旦作为实写剧拍出来,形象投射就彻底固定,一米九大汉的女装违和度,在实写剧里会变成无法忽视的灾难。你会看到lady beard在那里卖腐。
除开攻的女装大佬设定,原作中还有不少日式轻小说桥段,角色仿佛多啦A梦,男主随手就掏出一个pos机。剧本删掉这些陈旧的纸片人风格内容,使故事的现实质感更统一,完全是为观众着想。
原作虽是BL,写得仍是直人认知的异性恋本位世界观。所有人都在扮演异性恋。每看两行都不禁皱眉:太直了。
异性恋本位世界观的创作者会不自觉崇拜男性,塑造世间罕有的好男性。你是不是不止一次说过阮澜烛绝世好攻这种话?剧中尚有祝盟对徐瑾超出必要以上的刻薄,原作中此类情节更甚,看似情趣,实则爱丁堡打小三。包括原作描述阮南烛时使用“他身上有好闻的香味但并不女气”这种,认为“女气”是贬义词的恐同手法。
BL文的作者恐同,其实是这个世界的常态,他们都恐得无声无息微风细雨。毕竟世上直人多。这个世界就是异性恋本位的。但从来如此便对么?
改编剧本为应付外界及自我审查不得不大量删除BL情节,反而令剧中的恐同浓度一定程度下降了。
门的设定在原作中是将死之人必会进门,在门内存活可以赢得门外现实中活下来的机会,门反而成为凭空而来改写人生的奖励。剧中的门则是突如其来的危机,这让观众不得不一直追随主角看他如何摆脱险境,是更易吸引受众追剧的改编。而不是,反正他都要死的过不过关无所屌谓不会亏本。剧情所谓的“好看”常常来自那些意料之外的亏本。
关卡的世界观设定在原作中也更快餐,只为恐怖惊悚,门神没有苦大仇深的过往和必须要成为门神作乱的理由,少了剧本中苦心积虑(甚至有些过犹不及)营造的人文关怀,显得故事缺乏厚度和深度,继而影响双男主之间的情感塑造。
写配角没有人文关怀,写主角难道就有了吗?
另外,可能是编剧随手无脑一改,双男主的名字居然改得很好。
阮澜烛的澜,凌久时的凌。与原作人名相比,读音好听,字形好看,音形义俱全,取得信雅达,也比原作更像人名。
澜烛有水有火,狂波微火;久时天长地久,旷日累时。
竟还有些隐喻二人的结局。
那么,本剧顶梁柱之关卡剧情什么时候开始拉垮呢,从雨中女郎。后续故事仍算完整,但相比前面的关卡来说缺乏巧思和逻辑,一系列重要配角也下线得仓促降智。因为好兄弟一辈子的两位男主此时终于想起来要搞gay了,还以为你们在BL剧里不谈恋爱是双双被宫刑了呢。两位男主在关卡中所占比重越大,关卡的破绽和扑街度就越高。 你说要那俩男的有啥用。难听难看的。
阮澜烛面对凌久时主打一个话往野了说嘴往近了凑,凌凌在阮哥面前像努力跟领导做朋友的外包员工,两人最频繁的肢体接触就是随时给对方一个直男拍。剧中的久时看上去性格善良心思细腻,对祝盟的兄弟香草泥来者不拒,属性可能天然呆。阮哥反而更符合直男特征。BL文家中常备中医,就有一个看上去爱玩SM的兽医随时把脉。难怪姓阮的能看到凌久时身上的光,游戏视角看主角皮肤嘛。
你看人名和前后文这样写是不是很抓耳挠腮。这种抓耳挠腮的观感贯穿全剧搞gay始终。
长相嶙峋的哥们儿,与中国直女所写BL文必备一米九双开门霸总狂攻形象相去甚远。河童式头身头肩比,该整未整的蒜头鼻,整成悲伤蛙的弥天大眼,我们就称之为河蛙哥。
演技猥琐的哥们儿,仿佛一个不懂中文全瞎全聋的文盲,居然是北京电影学院表演专业排名第二出身。内娱的学术体系真是独辟蹊径自成一派。我们就称之为第二哥。
河蛙哥在雨中女郎说“我要进去救他”时,在听到凌久时说“我愿意”时,在扫晴娘里面对凌久时试伞的提议时,都贡献了与阮澜烛高度适配的演技,只有这三处我才终于看见阮澜烛或许真的很在乎凌久时。
河蛙哥的演技当然远在第二哥之上,路边随便拉条野狗的演技都在第二哥之上。但包括cv在内的河蛙哥一到重头戏就过度表演,“看啊我好深情我好愤怒我好悲伤我好入戏”的做作感呼之欲出。
在平头哥家流泪,在箱妖中送走凌久时,为程千里遇害发怒掷刀,在别墅与凌久时摊牌,最后执行净化与凌久时离别,这些情绪激烈的高潮场面无一不令人出戏的拉垮。
重头戏演技扑街的危害看来远大于日常演技扑街。当然这并不是说第二哥的cv就平安无事。第二哥cv全程以一种学习动画三年的大学配音社团风,把第二哥本就没有的演技配得灰飞烟灭。我也是第一次见到这么飞来横祸祸不单行的双簧。
第二哥全程豆瓣评分2.9的落跑甜心女主模式,但我有一个暴论:
在演凌久时爱阮澜烛的时候,第二哥演技最好。甚至因为此时河蛙哥演技莫名其妙下线,反而有种反制对手的意外。
当阮澜烛与凌久时的互动并非仅局限于爱情,也就是说,当那个情也可以发生在朋友、亲人甚至路人之间时,第二哥接这种感情戏就很猥琐,接不住也不想接。
当这个情是对阮澜烛唯一纯白的爱时,
你想想,是不是替阮哥包扎手腕的时候,被阮哥点额头的时候,被阮哥堵墙角的时候,在阮哥面前包饺子的时候,发现阮哥居然没死不敢相信的时候,第二哥终于不聋不瞎也不文盲了?
最后凌久时送阮澜烛完成使命,情节设定是一个悲伤的分别时刻,阮澜烛在疯狂流泪但因为河蛙哥(及cv)演得太做作我出戏了,镜头一切到凌久时发现他居然掉了一滴泪直接惊了。
就那么爱吗?
第二哥be like:搞gay可以,卖腐不行。
全剧真搞gay时长就是第二哥演技在线的总时长。
第二哥演技歹毒,但阮澜烛的直球在剧中沦为无效卖腐也有剧本问题。
他常常对凌久时说,我需要你,你没有女朋友可以找别的。真当凌久时跟他交流想法时,他的回答又多是:我们是你的朋友,你是我的好朋友。
如此一来,阮澜烛每次或真或假的告白在凌久时眼里都成为社团诗朗诵即兴主题演讲。
包括阮澜烛常常隐瞒凌久时做事。隐瞒看上去是为凌久时着想,似乎有种独自承受苦难的凛然大义,其实是将凌久时推开,既不爱人也不爱自己,只愿成为某种抽象宏观的英雄。
不会搞gay或许是因为不能搞gay,但居然连异性恋也拍不好。平头哥和庄庄,熊漆与小柯,从对话到肢体互动全程看起来像亲兄妹。
剧组的世界观是天下有情人终成亲兄弟姐妹。平等歧视所有恋。
连异性恋都拍不好,除了整体演技水平低迷,剧中表达情感的台词出现得都很突兀。角色只是说了听上去花里胡哨的话,为什么在当下场景说出那些台词既无逻辑也无情感支撑。
例如诗朗诵金奖得主演讲大师阮澜烛的
“我会保护你一辈子,无论是你的一辈子,还是我的一辈子”
“我需要你,字面上的意思”
“我永远体会不到梁祝化蝶前���夜的等待”
“我因你而存在,又因你而消失”这种为他人而活的内核甚至又踩我雷点。
这些话看上去漂亮,但过于口号过于缥缈,听上去跟“公司就像你温暖的家”不相上下。誓言应该出现得更谨慎更唯一不可替代。当你想起这些信誓旦旦的话语时应该想起轰烈的刻入眼眸的场景,而不是文字。但现在就只有文字。
全剧唯一金句只有那句,“过年就能阻止生死吗”。这也是剧中唯二gay的场面之一。另一处是“再忍一忍”。
凌久时在年夜饭前的餐桌上包饺子时随口一问:“过年也要过门吗?”
阮澜烛反问:“过年能阻止生死吗?”
说这句话的阮澜烛不仅没有门内扮演祝盟时的插科打诨,相比平时门外的严肃沉稳甚至更冷峻锋利。无论有没有门的存在,生死都是人世间无法阻止的命题。
中国人讲究过年,深仇大怨常常一句“大过年的”似乎就能偃旗息鼓。过年犹忌谈论生死,仿佛你不提它,它就不存在。
但过年就能阻止生死吗?你我都终将独自面对世界尽头。听上去冷淡刺耳绝情扫兴,但这是他的心里话。尤其对他这种永远无法体会生死的人来说。
当然他每次对凌久时都说真心话,只是心里话是难听的、有恶意的、甚至伤人的。
这应该是凌久时第一次窥到阮澜烛内心。
看这段时正值年节,看着突然觉得很动人。动人的瞬间都来自阴暗又随处可见的舞入尘埃的日常。
至于那个“再忍一忍”,可以说是全剧搞gay巅峰了。台词在适当的场景出现得恰到好处,说了又不明说,说得暧昧克制留白,说完又只是轻点额头,明明清水却暗暗色情,是处理BL情节时往往生硬造作的东亚BL剧最应呈现却几乎无剧展现的含蓄之美。
或许由于本剧省十四五重点项目的身份,编剧们在改编原作时,除了大刀阔斧删改原作中的BL情节,还不断将剧情渲染得和谐敬业富强文明,剧中所有门神的问题都得到妥善解决,正义感化邪恶,所有人不断贡献智慧与力量携手共创新的辉煌,天下大同河清海晏。
不仅不搞gay,还不断表衷心。台词句句是漂亮国亡我之心不死,美国是什么不能说的中文吗,就这还不给你播。真是爽死你了。
两个人相爱而已,“我就是爱你,就得爱你”,这有什么不能播的?
事实证明,舔狗舔狗舔到最后一无所有。站起来不许跪。
这个剧,吓人中随机散发雷人,雷人里透着几丝动人。那结局不是HE是什么。
凌久时耗费五十年只为再见阮澜烛一面,现实世界普通人的五十年是什么概念?
他要经历无数的生老病死,要工作要吃饭要交房租要应付无数个24/7,要努力让自己不死,让自己无论经历何种折磨都保持当初坚毅的决心,就算他运气好被天使投资几个亿不用上班挣钱只需专心整他那个增强现实游戏,那种无法预测的结局和不知要耗多久的等待,活着的每一天对他来说都是一万年。
结局堂而皇之盖章凌久时此生唯爱阮澜烛,前77集都在演不咸不淡的领导员工情,最后一集突然gay成这样我也是惊了。
这剧居然也不是耽改,是真gay剧。
编剧是误打误撞还是为爱鼓掌?奇思妙想认为程序员狂敲代码就能造出一部混合现实游戏就算,是觉得一个大活人拼命做一件事五十年很简单很轻而易举吗?
不是五千年也不是五十万年,是普通人看得见摸得着的竭尽全力的五十年,是一个人能记住的一生。
看剧的过程中我一直觉得凌久时这个男主没有成长,剧情不断前进,男主居然没有失去和收获,没有个人危机要解决,也没有什么过往心结,没有不得不面对的boss,从头到尾既看不出角色特性角色本身也没有起伏,单元角色和配角反而各有突破。
主线居然没有内核。
当你把这个剧看作凌久时的回忆录时,就会发现,凌久时的隐身和弱化是他自愿的,他不需要展现自己的疯癫人生,他只需要阮澜烛。
凌久时在回忆这件事时,并没有讲述开发游戏的五十年有多辛苦,可能对他来说不值一提。回忆录的点滴都是爱上一个人和与一个人相爱的过程。
中国耽改在剧情上的宿命都是二人去一人归,在制作上的宿命是,好看的人,好的演技,好的剧本,三者只活其一。
诚如我所言,耽美耽改耽丑剧,用心和用钱,但凡做到其中一点,剧就能播出。尽管此剧雷点重重,在耽字头的剧集里,前60集剧本可以排第一。
本剧也说明一个真理,影视作品最重要的还是讲好一个故事。一切为剧情服务,哪怕只是讲成故事会,其他所有灾难甚至都不是灾难。
