After Li Yi's interview, Zhang Haiyang also spoke about the creation process of "Nezha Haohai" on behalf of Xingman.
"When "Nezha Haohai" was being produced, Director Li mentioned to us that he hoped to add more Chinese elements to this animated film."
“So, we added many Chinese elements in the soundtrack, character design, colors, etc., including folk paper-cutting, Dunhuang murals, New Year paintings, traditional Chinese paintings, and theatrical masks.
This is a relatively bold attempt by our Star Comics. During the production of "The Return of the Great Sage", there will be fewer elements in this aspect. However, I believe that everyone will be interested in the movie "Nezha Haohai" after watching it. Discover these things. "
"Many of our current animated films are under the banner of national comics, including our star comics, but they are a bit embarrassing to say, because the earlier "WALL-E" and "The Return of the Great Sage" actually have some or It is less influenced by the style of Hollywood animated films and island animation. Therefore, we hope to make "Nezha Haohai" a truly original Chinese comic film full of Chinese characteristics!"
This was indeed Li Yi's original request.
Because the original version of "Nezha Hao Hai", among other things, can be said to be absolutely unmatched in its use of Chinese elements into the film.
Li Yi believes that this is also the key reason why this animated film can become a Chinese comic classic.
The image of Nezha, the image of Li Jing, costume design, action design, etc., it can be said that if you look carefully, you will find that some Chinese dramas, Dunhuang murals and other elements are really integrated into it.
After the interview, the Rebels came on stage, which also received thunderous applause from the audience.
For many guests and fans present, it was not easy for the Rebels to return to the stage after so many years.
After the Rebel Band sang "Nezha Haohai", the movie officially started.
With the previous interviews, Li Ke is looking forward to "Nezha Haohai" more and more.
And some film critics also recorded another point that needs attention in their notebooks: "Chinese elements"!
In fact, looking at many of the current Chinese animated films, there are many people who use the banner of Chinese comics. However, the irony is that these films under the banner of Chinese comics can easily be found in them. The shadow of “foreign culture”.
It is not limited to characters, plot structure, etc.
Or you can say that this is inclusiveness, but to be truly inclusive, you must first have your own characteristics. On the premise of making your own characteristics good, you can add some other foreign cultural elements. This is tolerance, otherwise If so, it can only be considered imitation at best.
Back to business.
The lights at the premiere dimmed.
The original noise in the theater also gradually decreased until it disappeared.
On the big screen, after the scenes of the production company, dragon logo, etc. passed, it was the familiar "Director Li Yi's work again!"
Of course, strictly speaking, "Nezha Haohai" cannot actually be regarded as "directed by Li Yi"!
Because of this animated movie, Li Yi did not interfere too much.
After all, he doesn't understand animation production technology, and the original "Nezha Hao Hai" was a hand-drawn animated film, but now this version is a 3D version of the animated film.
The difference between the two is still very large.
As soon as the film opened, the soundtrack dazzled the audience and guests.
Zhang Haiyang previously said that "Nezha Haohai" truly incorporates many Chinese elements, including the soundtrack.
The opening soundtrack is a chime BGM.
It can be said to be full of Chinese classical charm.
The first picture is of Chentangguan, which is located on the coast of the East China Sea. On the towering stone tablet, there are three big characters "Chentangguan" engraved on it!
The camera changes, and the calm sea suddenly becomes turbulent, and the stormy waves sweep across, forming a huge whirlpool. The 3D special effects make people feel like they are in the midst of the stormy waves, and even the waves splash, giving people a feeling of rushing towards them.
Some viewers even stretched out their hands to stop the film involuntarily.
On the sea surface, huge whirlpools rolled the sea water into the sky, forming a huge water column.
Among the water pillars, giant dragons soared into the sky, white dragons, black dragons, red dragons, and green dragons.
Different from hand-drawn animation, the scales and whiskers on every dragon here are clearly visible.
When the giant dragon hovers over the sea, people can't help but think of the white dragon in "The Return of the Great Sage".
It's just that there is only one white dragon, but there are four here!
The green dragon burrowed into the clouds, and there was lightning and thunder.
Heavy rain fell from the sky.
On the calm sea, rough waves suddenly arose, and many ships were immediately capsized.
This scene truly explains what it means to move the clouds, spread the rain, and make waves!
The red dragon took a sudden breath and sprayed flames towards the forest. Suddenly the forest burst into flames, and countless animals fled in panic.
The black dragon palm wind and the black tornado wind helped the fire, and the sea of fire became more intense, driving countless creatures into the sea.
When the white dragon passed by, the wind and snow raged, turning Chentangguan into a vast expanse of white!
The Dragon King of the Four Seas turned into a human form, hanging on the sea, laughing wildly!
Then he transformed into a dragon and drilled into the seabed.
The title of "Nezha Haohai" appears on the big screen!
"Damn, these special effects are awesome!"
"When the wind and snow were raging just now, I actually had the illusion that the temperature was plummeting!"
"The special effect of the fire-breathing red dragon is so realistic, right?"
"The soundtrack is amazing, so touching! And it's really Chinese!"
Accompanied by Beijing opera-like BGM, the subtitles of the main creative staff passed.
The scene came to the quaint ancient building, the home of Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan.
Li Jing was walking back and forth uncomfortably.
In front of the desk, curls of smoke rose from the incense burner, forming the shape of a white crane, and then scattered in all directions.
There was a burst of cramped footsteps, and Li Jing, who was walking back and forth, suddenly stopped.
"Master, master, my wife is pregnant!" Butler Wang Er hurriedly walked in and said with cupped hands.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Li Jing asked quickly.
"Ah, this..." Wang Er suddenly ran out of words.
"You are hemming and hawing, is it possible that you can't even tell the difference between a boy and a girl?" Li Jing suddenly frowned in dissatisfaction.
Butler Wang Er stretched out his hand and made a circle and said, "Master, you'd better go and see for yourself!"
Li Jing suddenly moved quickly towards the delivery room.
Some knowledgeable people’s eyes suddenly brightened.
In fact, when Li Jing appeared, some people were surprised. Li Jing was the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan. He wore a red robe to represent wealth or nobility, and the knee armor and sword on his body symbolized his loyalty, bravery and integrity. Li Jing's two sword eyebrows and furrowed eyebrows reflect his restrained seriousness, which is quite similar to the facial makeup and appearance of military commanders in operas.
In addition to his clothes, Li Jing's movements also reminded some people of the influence of Peking Opera. As a general, he walked with his head held high and every step he took, showing the demeanor of a majestic general.
When Li Jing learned that his wife had given birth to something unknown, he hurried to the delivery room. At this time, he was holding a sword in his left hand and clothes in his right hand. The pace was surprisingly similar to the general in the opera!
These are all details, but it is these details that surprise some knowledgeable people.
