What are the noteworthy details of New Gods: Yang Jian?

Went to the cinema yesterday to watch this movie, let's talk about the feeling first. If the total score of this movie is 100 points, I would give it 80 points, of which the storyline accounts for 20 points, and the other 60 points are the animation effects and scene design. From the movie, we can see that Chasing Light Animation is really dedicated to animation design, and the technology has reached the international mainstream animation production level. However, they are still not very good at storytelling, the main line of the whole story is not clear, the plot is a bit confusing, and the design of the characters is mostly a bit of a tiger's head and a snake's tail.

We have seen the latest work produced by Chasing Light Animation, "New God List: Yang Jian", and we mainly feel that the details of the following three aspects are worth paying attention to:

One, the styling design of the characters and scenery

The design of the main character, Yang Jian, is very unique, and the performance of Yang Jian's clothes is a detail, and Yang Jian's position in the show is that he is a god of despair, and belongs to the state of leisure and wildness. In the play, Yang Jian is positioned as a downtrodden deity, belonging to a relatively idle state, but he used to be very graceful, so the texture of his clothing is still relatively elaborate, "The texture of the white robe is relatively expensive silk. And the lapel of his outer robe has not been buttoned up because Yang Jian's character is easy-going and dashing, which makes him look more relaxed and lazy as a person." The care that went into the production is truly evident everywhere.

The most striking thing about the opening scene of this movie is the collision of rich traditional Chinese elements with technological cyberpunk. The mix of traditional Chinese elements such as pavilions, musical instruments, calligraphy and painting, and the flying sky with machinery, airships, and modern transportation makes for a unique visual impact. From this, we can see that the production team played a very good imagination, the purpose is to do a collection of Chinese and Western culture here, to achieve the two cultures of **** Ming. This is also a reflection of the producer's more far-reaching intentions.

Second, the difference between the main characters in the drama and the other previous feudal gods

There have been too many movies and TV dramas about the feudal gods, and the story has been told by everyone. New Gods: Yang Jian is trying to make a breakthrough here and give me a refreshing story, so many of the characters in the show have been rewritten. For example, the villainous protagonist "Shen Gongbao", who was an uncompromising and meticulous villain in the original story, has turned into an insidious lurker who endures insults and humiliations here. The plot is designed to inspire Yang Jian and Shen Xiang to fight, and the logic of the movie is very open-minded. However, the movie is too short, and he hangs up without unfolding the character's inner world. Therefore, the viewers are not sure what to make of it. The movie is a great example of a characterization that can be used in a variety of ways, but it is also a great example of a characterization that can be used in a variety of ways.

Three, the traditional culture of the national style of support is very eye-catching

There are a lot of traditional Chinese cultural elements in the film, which is more prominent in the dance of the fly, I think a lot of people go to see the movie may be heard of this good look before the next buy tickets. Chasing Light Animation themselves said that this is one of the most difficult passages in the film to produce, production of the entire scene *** took about 12 months, a lens to do a month." And in order to recreate the historical features behind the story, the Chasing Light Animation team traveled to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. The difficulty of the production lies in the dance itself, which must be presented in a state of weightlessness, and they first found professional dancers to perform the live choreography first, and then creatively display it again through animation means.

The other thing is that Yang Jian's fight in the Tai Chi diagram is a display of the animation team's imagination and design, without any reference.

In order to present the abstract elements of traditional Chinese culture through CG animation, the design team brought the audience a cultural and shocking visual experience. The design team worked on the project for more than half a year, creating many different scenarios. In order to be able to highlight the oriental texture in the CG footage, we discarded several concepts with stronger three-dimensional structure, and instead used ink and two-dimensional style presentation to give a classical mood of people swimming in paintings, and this scene took more than a year from design to final production, ****."

Chinese comics are not what they used to be, from the instant success of "Return of the Great Sage" and "Begonia of the Big Fish" in earlier years to "White Snake: Origin", "Nezha's Descent of the Demon Child", "Ginger", "New Gods: Nezha's Rebirth" and other national comics are undoubtedly getting more and more beautifully made, but we can have the ratings from Douban show that it is on a downward trend. People are not satisfied with cool animation design, but are increasingly looking for education and enlightenment behind the animation. The beauty of the eye can only excite people for a moment, only the work that touches the heart is the masterpiece of the legacy.
