My Animation Era

"anyway……"

“Does the so-called communication from hell exist in the form of emails or websites?”

At the first background setting seminar held by the animation "Hell Girl" production team, someone raised this question.

Gu Miao didn't know the answer to this question either.

Perhaps in terms of setting, the "Hell Communication" in the plot is more like an email. After all, there is a process of sending emails.

But judging from the way the original work was presented, Gu Miao felt that this was more like a website of a special nature.

All right!

Don’t worry about this. Whether it’s an email or a special website, its function is the same, which is to allow the client to convey resentment information to Xiaoai’s team.

From this perspective, Gu Miao felt that using "email" seemed more appropriate.

only.

This email is quite special!

The special thing is that ordinary emails have a mailing address, which is a unique email address. However, the hell communication sent to Hell Girl does not require an email address. Just fill in "Recipient: Hell Girl" and the email will be delivered.

And if you want to send this email, you also need to open a specific homepage at a specific time to send it.

“Isn’t that still a website?”

Someone questioned: "Open a specific web page at a specific time, and then send a specific email. The so-called hell communication is actually the communication method on the web page?"

"That's understandable."

"First open this special website, and then you can send mail to the hell girl." Gu Miao explained, "This website is a prerequisite for hell communication. Do you understand what I say?"

"OK! Got it!"

Website + email, the website needs to be opened at a specific time, such as twelve o'clock in the morning? This is a prerequisite for opening the website!

Only by entering this special website can you send a hell communication email to the hell girl, and no step in this process is missing.

With Gu Miao's explanation, everyone finally understood that the essence of "hell communication" is in the form of email. But if you want to send this email, you still need to go to a specific website.

It sounds a bit convoluted, but the process is actually just two steps. Open the website to edit the email content, click send, and wait patiently for a reply from the Xiaoai team.

“Then comes the execution of the commission!”

"When the client unties the scarecrow's red string given by Hell Girl and the contract is established, a curse pattern will appear on the client's chest, which is a sign of the agreement to go to hell after death."

Gu Miao pressed the pause button, causing the big screen to stay on the PPT page about "Hell's Curse Pattern", and then continued to explain.

"...This is the remaining part of the contract, and it is also the price that the client needs to pay after entrusting the Hell Girl team to punish the resentful person."

honestly.

Regarding this hell curse pattern, Gu Miao has always wanted to complain. Why does this thing look so like the unspeakable pattern?

Probably because his thoughts are impure and easy to think wrong! The meaning of this curse tattoo is very scary, but when it is tattooed on a little girl, it always feels weird.

"How do you understand this price?"

"Literally, the client will fall into hell after death! How else can we understand it?"

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the sentence "falling into hell" should be understood. Just hearing this sentence, it seems that the price is not very heavy!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that everyone was starting to argue, Gu Miao quickly stopped him and said, "Let me explain to you the setting of falling into hell."

"It may be difficult for you to understand just the concept of hell, so just imagine the eighteen levels of hell in our ancient Chinese mythology. After death, you will experience multiple punishments such as being put in a frying pan and having your tongue pulled out."

"There are heaven and hell in foreign countries. If nothing happens to these clients, they could go to heaven to enjoy happiness after death, but now they can only go to hell to suffer."

This is the price.

People who could go to heaven must end up in hell after death in order to eliminate their resentment.

"That's pretty serious..."

"yes!"

Gu Miao also sighed with emotion: "The curse is two-way. When you send the other party to hell, you will also fall into hell. Doesn't it matter even though this is the case?"

"This sentence also goes both ways?"

"yes!"

Gu Miao smiled happily.

With Xiao Ai's reminder, 99% of people may think that she is reminding the client in good faith.

But think about it from another perspective.

Can this sentence also be applied to perpetrators who are resented by their clients?

Take the campus bullying in the first episode as an example. The girl who was bullied used hell communication to send the bully to hell, and ended up falling into hell herself.

This is what everyone sees.

But what everyone didn’t see, and what they didn’t think of immediately, was that the bully stepped on the victim into hell, and ended up going into hell himself, which also echoed this sentence.

…

Hell Girl is interesting.

In this animation, the ultimate idea explained is two words: fairness!

The perpetrator will eventually go to hell, and the victim who sent the perpetrator to hell will also be implicated and fall into hell after death.

Judging from the results, both sides suffer!

This can explain the two profound meanings of the animation. The first profound meaning is that evil will be punished. No matter how big or small the evil deed is, there will definitely be retribution and punishment.

The second profound meaning is that it is not advisable to fight violence with violence, because the curse is two-way. While you send the other person to hell, you cannot escape the punishment of hell.

Gu Miao's point of view is that one can sympathize with the victims in the animation.

However, the deep meaning conveyed by the animation "Hell Girl" is not to encourage everyone to respond to violence with violence. If you are wronged, you should retaliate twice as much. Because the price of doing so is very heavy, injuring the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred by yourself.

certainly!

This is Gu Miao's personal opinion.

It may not be correct. He is just trying to understand and deconstruct the special animation work "Hell Girl" from a personal perspective.

During the production process, he still had a "cold eye" attitude.

That is to say, ignore it without sympathy.

As Ma Kui said, this kind of animation should not include too much private goods and personal feelings. The most correct way is to drink a bowl of water.

Everything is based on little love.

All the protagonists of the incident, whether the perpetrators or the victims, are all green leaves used to set off the red flower of Xiao Ai, and they must not be ignored.

Speaking of little love...

In the original version, the girl is wearing a kimono. Naturally, the Wanbao version cannot wear this outfit, so she has to change into Hanfu.

Gu Miao, who didn't know much about dressing up, didn't know what clothes would suit this girl, until Akun gave him a bad idea.

"Why not use those paper figures as a reference?"

Horror movie, right? !

Gu Miao was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat when she thought of Xiao Ai, who was wearing the same clothes as the paper man and had no expression on her pale face.

This won't work...

Although the animation has some horror elements, it cannot be full of underworld stuff. It is too "down to earth".
