《花生連環(huán)漫畫(huà)》從二十世紀(jì)五六十年代起就深受孩子們的喜愛(ài)。后來(lái)《花生連環(huán)漫畫(huà)》被改編成了電視動(dòng)畫(huà)片。后來(lái)導(dǎo)演史蒂夫·馬蒂諾又把它搬上了電影大銀幕。
As a lifelong fan of the Peanuts comic strip and television special,Steve Martino says that getting chosen to direct a computer-animated(動(dòng)畫(huà)的)Peanuts movie struck him as “a huge responsibility”.When he accepted the offer,he knew the importance of staying true to the original artwork that cartoonist Charles Schulz created,starting in 1950.
“When I was very young, I was often lost in reading the comic strip,like many children.I used to just lie on the floor and stare at the drawings.I think the Peanuts characters were some of the first characters I tried to draw or copy”,Martino said.
Though Charles Schulz died in 2000,his family has been making sure children today can enjoy the Peanuts.The Peanuts Movie came to theaters on November 6,2015.Martino had a special kind of balancing act:bringing the Peanuts characters to life with computer animation while staying true to the original artwork.“I thought that with computer animation there would be the opportunity to bring these characters to life and make their world feel a little more real,” he said, “But it was very important to me that we find the way that Charles Schulz drew.”
作為《花生》漫畫(huà)和電視特輯的終身粉絲,史蒂夫·馬蒂諾說(shuō),被選中執(zhí)導(dǎo)一部電腦動(dòng)畫(huà)的《花生》片,讓他覺(jué)得“是一份巨大的責(zé)任”。當(dāng)他接受這個(gè)提議的時(shí)候,他知道堅(jiān)持原著的重要性,原著是漫畫(huà)家查爾斯·舒爾茨從1950年開(kāi)始創(chuàng)作的。
“當(dāng)我還很小的時(shí)候,我就像許多孩子一樣,常常迷失在看漫畫(huà)中。我過(guò)去常常躺在地板上盯著畫(huà)看。我認(rèn)為《花生》的角色是我嘗試去畫(huà)或模仿的第一批角色。”馬蒂諾說(shuō)。
In addition to following Schulz's way of drawing,Martino had the film's casting director(星探)listen to thousands of recordings to choose actors who sound like the original Peanuts characters from TV.And thanks to recordings of Bill Melendez,the director of the original Peanuts animated TV series and the voice of Snoopy,the lovable beagle(獵兔犬)sounds exactly the same.
This attention to detail required extra hours of work of the film's crew,but Martino thinks it was worth it. “We took much care in the making of the movie because we should be true to the original artwork that Schulz created,” he said.
盡管查爾斯·舒爾茨于2000年去世,但他的家人一直在確保今天的孩子們能夠欣賞 《花生》?!痘ㄉ箅娪啊酚?015年11月6日上映。馬蒂諾有一種特殊的平衡方式:用電腦動(dòng)畫(huà)使《花生》人物充滿活力,同時(shí)保持原著的真實(shí)性?!拔艺J(rèn)為,有了電腦動(dòng)畫(huà),就有機(jī)會(huì)讓這些人物栩栩如生,并讓他們的世界感覺(jué)更真實(shí)一些?!彼f(shuō),“但對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),找到查爾斯·舒爾茨作畫(huà)的方式非常重要?!?/p>
除了按照舒爾茨的創(chuàng)作方式外,馬蒂諾讓電影的星探聽(tīng)了數(shù)千張錄音,選擇了那些聲音聽(tīng)起來(lái)像電視中的《花生》原版人物的演員。多虧了最初的《花生》動(dòng)畫(huà)片的導(dǎo)演比爾·梅倫德斯的錄音和史努比的錄音,才使得可愛(ài)的獵兔犬的聲音聽(tīng)起來(lái)完全一樣。
這種對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的關(guān)注需要電影攝制組額外工作幾個(gè)小時(shí),但馬蒂諾認(rèn)為這是值得的?!拔覀?cè)谥谱鬟@部電影時(shí)非常小心,因?yàn)槲覀儜?yīng)該忠于舒爾茨的原創(chuàng)作品?!彼f(shuō)。
