Regarding Nezha, Li Yi actually had some ideas early on, or there was more than one movie about Nezha early on.
In my memory, Nezha was very ugly, but the box office was the highest among Chinese comics!
However, to be honest, the special effects of Nezha were indeed good, but in Li Yi's opinion, the plot had big problems.
This is probably one of the biggest shortcomings of domestic animated films, such as "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".
First, let’s talk about the core of the story of “Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World”. A good story must have a central spirit, just like the core of the Great Sage, which is to save someone even though they know they can't be saved, and to do it even though they know they can't.
The core of Nezha's story should be "I have no control over my destiny."
So what is fate? Lingzhu Mowan, dual protagonist. The destiny of the Lingzhu should be to save, while the destiny of the Magic Pill is naturally to harm the world.
But in the original "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", Nezha, who is the carrier of the magic pill, has resisted the nature of the devil?
Li Yi felt that there really wasn't any!
Nezha was extremely ferocious when he was born. Later, Master Taiyi suppressed his ferocious nature with the Qiankun Circle. When Nezha went berserk, he used the Qiankun Circle to suppress him. He did not eliminate the nature of the magic pill, but only reduced the degree of liberation of the Qiankun Circle. In Li Yi's opinion, this was a huge failure.
Because as the protagonist, Nezha, as the Destiny Magic Pill, has the ferocious nature of a demon, and the core of the movie lies in resistance.
But in the end, the protagonist Nezha had no intention of actively resisting the nature of Magic Pills, but was passive!
Therefore, if you really want to use this script, since you know this flaw, you must make modifications, for example, change the passive to active.
Ru Nezha knew that the Qiankun Circle could suppress his violence, but the process of suppressing it was painful, but he still took the initiative and worked hard to wear the Qiankun Circle.
One is passive change, and the other is active pursuit of change. Li Yi thinks the latter is more appropriate.
In terms of plot, "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is actually quite different from the older "Nezha's Mind".
In "Nezha Mind".
When Nezha was seven years old, there was a drought and the earth was cracking. The Dragon King of the East China Sea refused to drop any water. He also ordered Yaksha to go to the seaside and rob boys and girls. Nezha acted bravely and beat Yaksha to death with the Qiankun Circle, and also killed Ao Bing, the son of the Dragon King, who came for reinforcements. It's not about being strong, it's about seeing unevenness on the road.
It can be said that the logic and outlook are relatively positive.
But "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" seems to express resistance to selfishness and caring for the people of the world.
However, the results were not good.
There are two rescues by Nezha in the whole film. The first time is to save a little girl who was caught by the saliva bubble monster.
But in order to save people, he would not hesitate to set fire to destroy the house, which is exactly the same as in the picture of mountains and rivers.
It's not for altruism at all, just for self-proof. This kind of self-motivated rescue is actually the opposite of a true heroic act. He doesn't care at all whether the stone statues of Ao Bing and the little girl will be smashed and used. This can also be seen as a weapon.
The second time Chentangguan rescued people, there was actually not enough foreshadowing. What the film showed was entirely because he finally understood his father's love and wanted to save his parents. Saving people may even give people the impression that they are just belligerent and incidental. If not, there should be a change in mentality.
And Li Jing is also inconsistent. On the one hand, he said that I conquered demons and eliminated demons, and I also wanted to accumulate more virtues for my son. On the other hand, he said: If one day Nezha causes trouble, I, Li Jing, will definitely sacrifice my life to seek justice for everyone!
On the other side, Nezha is destroying the city wantonly without punishment, and confinement is child's play.
Taiyi Zhenren gave Nezha Ling and the Fire-Pointed Spear to Nezha when his ferocious nature had not changed, without considering the consequences at all.
It seems that as long as no one is killed, it is not a big deal.
It can be said that this point of view is really extremely incorrect!
And is there a familiar sense of sight? The attitude of Li Jing and his wife towards Nezha shown in the movie and the attitude of Taiyi towards Nezha are very different.
He had obviously done something hugely wrong. If Nezha was not their son or apprentice, then if he did such a thing, would he be punished with a childish punishment like confinement?
Therefore, Li Yi always felt that this plot was really worthy of scrutiny.
Li Yi hasn't thought about how to change it specifically yet!
This was one of the reasons why he did not directly give the script to Zhang Haiyang and the others.
In Li Yi's view, the logic and concept of the script of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" are too different.
On the contrary, there is another older movie in my memory, "Nezha: The Devil Boy", although it is a hand-drawn animated film, but its concept is far superior to "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World"!
In "Nezha Makes the Sea", Nezha encounters the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea who comes out to kidnap the people and kills children. He acts bravely and fights the villains. However, when the Dragon King of the East China Sea comes to investigate and accuse Li Jing, he does not come forward to protect his son. Instead, he frowns. Cold right.
It seems that such a father is difficult to like, after all, the son seems to have done nothing wrong!
But this is the wonderful part of the story. In Li Yi's view, Li Jing here is actually full of contradictions and entanglements in his heart. The Dragon King of the Four Seas is not a divine power that he can afford, but also a monstrous power that he, a mortal, cannot compete with. Huge waves.
Under the rule, the people were displaced and homeless, but his son was the direct cause of this disaster. Even if he wanted to believe that his son was out of justice, the fact that he caused the trouble had already happened, and the consequences of harm were It's confirmed.
At this time, Li Jing had nowhere to appeal and seek a fair ruling.
It's not that he doesn't come forward to protect his son, but he knows that it's useless to come forward. Faced with the absolute power gap, he can only choose to draw a clear line with his son, so as to fulfill his responsibility as a parent official.
So as a father, Li Jing knew that he was sorry for his son, but he was not only Nezha's father, but also his parents' official!
So Li Jing, the strict father, faced the son who had caused great trouble with a sword that could not be cut down and a depressed look on his face. When he saw his own son commit suicide, he could only rely on the pillar and cry in grief!
Not to mention Li Jing, just Nezha, he is more like a hero than in "The Devil Boy Comes to the World"!
Maybe you couldn't understand it when you were a child, but when you grow up, I believe any parent can understand it.
Li Jing's image is definitely that of a good official and a hero, even if he has too many powerlessness.
In comparison, if Li Yi were asked to choose, he would prefer "Nezha Makes the Sea" instead of the more fashionable and novel "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World"!
The former has a rich story, while the latter has great special effects!
But for Li Yi, all it takes is spending money on special effects!
However, Li Yi did not give either of the two scripts to Xingman, but asked them to write the script first.
Star Comics currently does not lack funds or technology, but what it lacks is the writing skills of top-notch animation works!
So Li Yi at least hopes that they can try it themselves instead of relying entirely on him!
Maybe his script will eventually be used, but at least, you can't do nothing and just wait for him, right?
ps: There have been a lot of happy events recently, including several college entrance examination celebration banquets for relatives’ children, and the elders’ birthday banquet that I will attend today. I have to attend several banquets, and there will be two updates today!
I re-watched "Nezha Haohai" and "The Devil Boy Comes into the World". Now it seems that the special effects are really the pinnacle of Chinese comics, but the script seems a bit sluggish, and the story and concept of "Nezha Haohai" are really the best. Really good! So which one do you think is better to write?
