After waiting for 26 years, basketball fans around the world finally waited for good news.
A few days ago, the classic anime "Slam Dunk" announced the launch of a new theatrical version, and the video is scheduled to be released on December 3rd of .
This is the film and television revision of the work after 26 years since the TV version of "Slam Dunk" was broadcast in 1996.
As the original author Inoue Yuhiko successively released "Shona North Five Tigers" posters, countless people's youth were also brought back together.
Although only
And for the king of feelings that have returned to the screen after 26 years, combined with the video information, I have found four highlights worth looking forward to.
Looking forward to click one: The latest news of Xiangbei 5 tiger generals
I have to say, the author is very good.
only uses 5 posters, and he "thawed" the memories of "Slam Dunk" that had been sealed for 26 years.
On social media, he presented the protagonist group in a hand-painted portrait - Xiangbei High School five-member group.
When each character is given an exclusive line, the image of the Five Tigers of Xiangbei is suddenly obvious.
freak guy Sakuragi Hanamichi appeared first. This basketball rookie who has just been in contact with basketball comes with such a line
Isn't it okay for beginners?
This straightforward and childish speech revealed his big-name personality in one fell swoop.
Sakuragi 's old enemy Rukawa Cassia appeared in a familiar and harsh look;
with "Can't you be willful?" 's inner monologue appeared in the upper right corner, and the phenomenon of the rebellious young Rukawa Cassia hindrance returned. On the portrait of
, the other two first releases in Xiangbei Mitsui Shou and Miyagi Liangda respectively expressed their feelings in one sentence.
"Is the former middle school MVP not possible?" "Is the problem children not okay? " lightly pointed out their past experiences, and was quite a bit of letting go of the past and starting over.
Team captain Akagi Takaki The sentence "(like) Gorilla can't do it?" reminds people of familiarity with the anime scenes, but also brings contrasting joy. After this simple and crude "five picture stream" of
, the exclusive feelings belonging to "Slam Dunk" surged back to my heart.
, and the return of Xiangbei Wuhu after 26 years will also experience the bonus of the evolution of animation technology.
In addition to the script being checked by the author Yuhiko Inoue, three animation directors including Miyahara Naoki who are well versed in CG technology are also invited to participate.
Compared with "Slam Dunk" with thick lines 26 years ago, the new theatrical version is expected to make the picture quality more delicate with the help of a large number of CG technology.
film crew also revealed that they also captured a 40-minute real basketball game with CG technology, and injected the action into specific animation production, which will further increase the realism of the film.
With these technological means bonuses, the upgraded version of "Slam Dunk" is worth looking forward to.
Looking forward to the second point: Will the national competition come this time?
After the new "Slam Dunk" was scheduled, in addition to his feelings, fans in the comment area also called out again . The topic of that has been looking forward to for 26 years:
coach, I want to watch the national competition!
Please allow me here, please give me some popular science.
"National Competition" is the independent plot of the comic version of "Slam Dunk", and it is also the climax of the entire IP recognized by the climax.
It tells the story of Xiangbei High School participating in the highest-level high school competition in the country and defeating two powerful enemies in a row while being extremely dissatisfied.
Among them, their battle with the defending champion Shanwang Industrial in the second round is the most inflatable battle for IP.
When it was extremely despised, the five tigers of Xiangbei who were fighting for the championship were both back and forth with the favorite Shanwang.
Under the battle between the two sides exhausted all their strength, Xiangbei finally narrowly defeated his opponent with the key mid-range shot of Sakuragi Hanamichi and completed the counterattack feat.
After eliminating the defending champion in the following match, Sakuragi and Rukawa Kaede's Century Flash were even more popular in "Slam Dunk".
Although the national competition is extremely important in the "Slam Dunk" series, due to the later differences between the author Yuhiko Inoue and the animation company, the plot ultimately failed to appear in the TV version.
With the ending of the TV version, it was held at Xiangbei High School and ended at the national competition . The 26-year plot blank has become a difficult time for countless fans.
Now with this theatrical version being put on the agenda, the exciting "National Competition" appearance on the screen has also become a hot topic for fans.
. Combined with the statements and related information of the creator behind the scenes, you can roughly draw the answer:
National Competition may be available, but there is a high probability that the Battle of Shanwang will not be there.
The three executive directors of the film once hinted in an interview that the plot of will present a game and will not be the plot material of the TV version.
From the perspective of the TV version plot connection, it is reasonable to appear in the theater version of the national competition immediately following the plot.
But from the schedule , the highly anticipated battle of Sanwang is actually the second battle in the national competition in Xiangbei. Before that, they still had the first round of the competition with Toyoyu High School .
From the plot order, the probability of the Battle of Sanwang precedes the Battle of Toyama is not high.
Secondly, Because the Battle of Sanwang is extremely long and has a line-free storyboard before the winning goal alone.
The plot content is extremely rich, and the theatrical version of about 2 hours may be difficult to be completely beautiful. This is also the reason why the Battle of Shanwang is not optimistic about being filmed in the theatrical version.
Third, Considering that the early theater version (4 consecutive films were filmed between 1993 and 1996) used the Hunan North warm-up match as the main content, this time there is also the possibility of "the plot of the extra-staff competition".
Therefore, this time we can look forward to the screenization of the "National Competition", but the expectations must also be retained.
Looking forward to point three: Will it be far away to restart the IP?
The wonderful Battle of the Mountain King is likely to be "nothing" this time, but judging from the attitude of the author Yuhiko Inoue, perhaps the Battle of the Mountain King is not far away.
As a well-known "willful artist" in the comic circle, Yuhiko Inoue has high requirements for his works.
When he is not satisfied with the adaptation of the work, he will make willful moves that deviate from commercial interests;
During the TV screening of "Slam Dunk", Yuhiko Inoue was dissatisfied with the animation production team's strategist design and plot, and repeatedly protested to the producer.
. As the quarrels accumulate, Inoue Yuhiko chose to directly reclaim the copyright in 1996, which made the "National Competition" chapter fall directly into nothing...
Perhaps due to the differences with the production team, Inoue Yuhiko also made the decision to finish the comic that year.
In 1996, when he took back the copyright of the animation "Slam Dunk", Yuhiko Inoue directly finished the comic under the temptation of huge commercial value...
The ending of the comic , Shotoki was eliminated in the next game of winning the Battle of the King of the Mountain, and Yuhiko Inoue also brought the story to an abrupt end with a few strokes.
Although there were thousands of fans' signatures at that time, "Please Inoue calm down" , he still responded hastily on the grounds that "the plot was already thought of a few weeks ago."
Now 26 years later, the "temptation" of the production team's relaxation of voice, he began to change his attitude, who was originally resistant to the animation version. The word "The first" in the title of the movie
is also speculated to be a signal that Inoue Matsuguchi restarts the IP series.
Perhaps, in the days to come, the unstable Inoue will further satisfy our "uneasy" of "will be difficult to calm down".
Looking forward to point 4: Is there a prototype for the story of Slam Dunk?
In addition to the above three expected factors, "Slam Dunk" also has a fourth reason to look forward to.
Although it is old-fashioned, it is still out of date now. That is, the close connection between the animation IP of and reality can always touch people's hearts.
Inoue Yuhiko's creation was inspired by the Japanese men's basketball team's failure to attack the Barcelona Olympics. After witnessing that the men's basketball team could not escape the Asian arena, he made the decision to encourage the next generation of basketball teenagers with passionate comics.
So, he created the main character of "Slam Dunk" based on the real NBA star.
runs through the entire IP, and most of the main characters can find the corresponding real prototypes.
male lead Hanamichi Sakuragi is based on the NBA player Rodman who has a very poor scoring ability in but is obsessed with rebounding , while the elegant Rukawa Kaede is considered to be based on Jordan as the template.
Later, captain Akagi directly moved away the nickname of NBA legend Ewing "Gorilla".
When the two-dimensional world collides with the third dimension, Yuhiko Inoue uses the extraordinary superstar template to tell some hard stories that ordinary people in can hear.
For example, behind the fame of stars, they often have the experience of flying to save the ball regardless of the consequences.
For example, some talent gaps in often cause some people to be humiliated by their opponents.
But even though it has become the "black background board of the top ten balls", its attitude of facing the defense head-on is worthy of our recognition.
In some main plots, "Slam Dunk" also has elements that draw on reality.
For example, the "national competition" , which has made countless fans talk about for many years, is very close to the US NCAA
Every March, 64 college basketball teams from all over the United States are invited to participate in the competition. Under the cruel winning and losing system, some soul-burning moments are produced.
In 2013, Caspian University, which had never had an NBA player in the team history, overturned the NCAA championship four times in the first round of the 64th, and Duke University , which was quite real-life version of the Battle of the King .
Caspian University leader McCollum was only 1.57 meters tall in high school, but he led the team to overthrow the giants in just two years. This shows the inspiration of each of them.
Although Caspian University failed to win the championship in the end, and only the main player McCollum was finally selected for the NBA, the script of defeating the Giants is still very exciting. The day of defeating Duke has also become the official anniversary of Caspian University.
In the comic version of "Slam Dunk", these protagonists eventually left in the face of an loser, and even the emotional line between Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko Akagi had no result.
Even the author Inoue himself admitted that the locker room of Shonoku High School is "many of problems" and does not have the ability to win the championship at all.
But this does not prevent us from being secretly happy because of the highlights of some games in Xiangbei, nor does it prevent us from being moved by their passionate attitude of "every goal must be fought for".
This attitude of "dedication and regret" like youth is also touching people's hearts because of the reality of the kernel, becoming the enlightenment of generations of basketball teenagers.
This is also the reason why the new theatrical version of "Slam Dunk" has not been released yet, and IP alone can cause netizens to frantically flood the screen.
After all, from Sakuragi Hanamichi and others, we see ourselves who loves life and strives hard.
Maybe there are all kinds of setbacks in life, but at least love can always keep it bright for us.
All of this also corresponds to the famous saying of Yuhiko Inoue, the author of "Slam Dunk":
If love goes against hope, then I choose to love.
