Chapter 143. The Boiling Industry
---
"Sages judge as, not thoughts, because if thoughts were judged, there would be no saints in this world."
Simply put, whether a person is good or saintly isn't judged by their thoughts or words but by their as. For example, Liu Bei is often called a hypocrite who sought to win people's hearts, but during the chaos of his time, he didn't it the atrocities of other warlords—like massag cities leg the people's lives. Regardless of his reasons for not doing these things or how others sndered him, this was Liu Bei's greatest virtue.
This is also why a certaiern natioe experieng many chaotic eras, finds the Three Kingdoms particurly captivating. Without such virtue, the Three Kingdoms would be just another chaotic period like the Sui-Tang era.
Simirly, how someone's ihoughts be captured on film? Or, in the case of plete virtual filming, where memories are temporarily blocked and everything is performed through subscious enat, how an actor's inner monologue be filmed?
It's essentially impossible.
Even Pucd his team, when filming, shoot ses without inner monologues first, then ter film the inner monologues and splice them in during post-produ. However, this results in a signifit disect betweewo.
It's like if two students pgiarize the same essay from the i—anyone immediately tell that something is off. Simirly, the signs of reshooting in full-dive filming are gringly obvious due to the i realism of the teique, making it hard to match the actor's emotional state during the inal shoot.
This is why, during the filming of "Battle Tendency", Pucci's team repced inner monologue ses with voiceovers to expin the characters' as instead of tinuing with the problematic approach.
Even the best actors struggle to recreate the exact emotions they felt during the inal shoot when reshooting these inner monologues.
But now...
With stands trolled by their users' spirits, moving acc to their will, if these stands aren't used for bat but instead are desigo look like their users, could they represent the characters' ihoughts? Could they act as a visual representation of the characters' subscious while shooting the main plot?
Given how poorly virtual filming captures ihoughts, this possibility struck a chord with Kinoko Nasu, who had long struggled with adapting his own works to the s. The heavy use of inner monologues in his novels ofteo rewrites during the adaptation process, leaving the final film nearly unreizable from the source material.
Havihe effects of this and-based teique, the first thing that came to this Kinoko Nasu's mind was: "Damn it! That studio tricked me!"
"Thirty years east, thirty years west, don't look down on the poor! We're not do!" shouted the usually calm Kinoko Nasu, passionately fired up.
…
Although not as excited as this particur creator, others in the industry closely following "Stardust Crusaders" were simirly intrigued by the potential of this and-based teique.
As word spread and more knowledgeable insiders began the significe of this innovation, even those who hadn't previously been ied in "Stardust Crusaders" turheir attention to the show.
"These young people today are terrifying," remarked a stubbly man watg "Stardust Crusaders" through a full-dive helmet in a room somewhere, visibly impressed.
In earlier works, Akiyuki Shinbo had used teiques like freeze frames and oversized text to bypass the challenge of filming ihoughts, which had already shocked this man. But after being reended "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" by a friend, he slowly worked his way through the story until reag "Stardust Crusaders".
Only then did he uand the true meaning of his friend's words.
"I knew you'd be ied in this eique," Yoshiyuki Sadamoto said with a smile. "Didn't you always pin that current virtual filming tech wasn't good enough to capture your work perfectly?"
"Well, now that you've seen this eology, don't yret not waiting a bit loo film your project, Anno?"
"...It is a shame," Hideaki Anno replied, ign his friend's teasing and seriously pting the possibilities. "But there are bes to waiting."
"Huh?" Sadamoto blinked, puzzled.
"Well, if we wait, we could always justify a remake by using this eology. Releasing a remastered version would give us an excuse to... 'give back' to the fans," Anno said, grinning.
"They might even be happy about it. After all, as long as the story is iing and the visuals are pelling, they'll buy it. These fans are so devoted that they'll buy anything with the "EVA" name on it, even if the tent has nothing to do with "EVA"..."
Having discovered through his "New tury Cash Grab Pn" that products ranging from razors and barbells to jewelry and car mirrors could sell well simply by spping the "EVA" brand on them, Anno had long since figured out his audience.
If those ued products could sell, imagine how much more profitable a remade "EVA" using this eology would be. Fans would surely flock to buy it, and they could release a whole new wave of merdise alongside it.
A win-win!
"But whether we remake it or not depends oher this eology is really what we think it is..."
