The eyes of the characters in The Lion Boy are too small. Is it intentional?

Guo Man's film "The Lion King" made its debut on the big screen, with a first-day box office income of18.87 million yuan. On the first day, the box office of Guo Man's movies was in the middle and upper reaches. Although it was not as good as the series of "The Legend of the White Snake" and "The Goddess", there was great hope that the box office would break through 100 million. While getting a good box office, The Lion Boy was caught in a storm of public opinion, that is, its character's eyes were too small and it was accused of demonizing China people. Small eyes that promote traditional culture and roles have become two contradictory labels in The Lion Boy. Let's make a detailed analysis as follows:

Lion Boy focuses on traditional culture, but its painting style is not traditional? The theme of Lion Boys is lion dance culture, which tells the story of a group of teenagers learning lion dance and realizing their life ideals through lion dance. Subjectively, this film spreads the traditional culture of our country, and it is also a more authentic story of China. Besides role-shaping, it is considered as a relatively grounded and popular group in Guo Man. But the problem is that the shape of the lion boy is really controversial. Its story is about the traditional culture of China, but its characters are not "traditional" at all. First of all, Guo Man's films used to be cartoon style with big eyes, big head and small body, rough and realistic Hong Kong male style, or a combination of the two.

Neither of these two styles of Guo Man's TV movies will portray the characters' eyes too small, but the lion boy piled the characters' eyes too small to make them look a little ugly, which is completely different from the previous Guo Man style. As it happens, the prejudice against China people overseas is that they have small eyes, so the role design of the lion boy is linked to the inherent impression overseas. The debate about whether lion teenagers adapt to the inherent impression of overseas is in full swing on the Internet. Some people say it's just "anti-tradition", others say it's "flattery". What kind of situation is The Lion Boy? Bian Xiao thinks he should give time to talk.

Non-human characteristics are too inevitable for stars? The most controversial thing about the Lion Boy is that its role is very "inhuman" and looks almost like Avatar. This inhuman role design will trigger the horror valley effect of the audience. First of all, the eye distance of several characters is too wide. Some netizens have focused their eyes a little, so the role of "lion boy" is not so ugly. This method of widening the eye distance is of course very distinctive, but not all the audience can adapt to this characteristic. Moreover, "Lion Boy" draws the eyes very small, which makes the characters lose the possibility of expressing their feelings through eyes or eyes.

What's more, the lion boy has a very contradictory point, that is, it is an animation rooted in China's traditional culture and reality, and lion dancing is also a characteristic of southern China. It is reasonable that the lion boy should restore the characteristics of southerners in China, but the lion boy has not restored the image of southerners in China. Therefore, if the audience thinks that "Lion Boy" sticks to the ground, it is equivalent to admitting that they are a feature film in disguise. If they don't admit what they look like in the movie, then the traditional culture promoted by the lion teenagers will have a sense of estrangement for them.

Generally speaking, the story of "Lion Boy" is grounded, but people have built a grounded house, and the debate revolves around the grounded house. "Lion Boy" has a higher box office because of grounding gas, and "Lion Boy" was sprayed because of grounding gas. If "Lion Boy" can normalize people's settings, it may not cause such a big controversy, and the box office may be higher than it is now.

Summary:

Whether the controversy over The Sphinx will disappear temporarily may not be settled until it is released. On the one hand, the controversy of the lion boy comes from the different understanding of squinting at home and abroad. There is an inherent impression of squinting abroad, which leads to resentment at home, and the lion boy just ran into this muzzle.
