"New Gods List·Yang Jian" will be released on August 19. was hotly discussed by the entire Internet on the first day it was released.
The early promotion of the film was contrary to the high-profile normality of Chinese comics in the past. It was just set on August 15th and was hastily launched on the 19th.
These In 2017, Chinese comics gained momentum and their reputation became more and more popular. In addition, the production team of "Yang Jian" and "Green Snake" and "White Snake" are all affiliated to Chasing Light Film and Television.
is ahead of the curve, and expectations are naturally high.
The background of the story is locked 1500 years after the Shang and Zhou wars.
At this time,
had just experienced the catastrophe of heaven and earth, the decline of heaven ,
The down-and-out Yang Jian took the Meishan brothers and Roaring Sky Dog to make a living as a bounty hunter and monster catcher.
In the catastrophe 12 years ago,
Yang Jian, who lost his eyesight, no longer had the arrogance of Erlang Shen in the past, and lived a muddleheaded life with money to do things.
One day, Yang Jian accepted a reward from a mysterious woman to hunt down a young man named Chenxiang.
The story behind does not need to be introduced, I think everyone knows...
The adaptation of the animation is nothing more than scene production and special effects. There are four parts: output, character design and plot core.
We can fully believe that Chasing Light can perfect the first three parts.
But after watching the movie, the plot core of this film made the audience more or less I feel that it is not worthy of such a magnificent production.
"There is too much to express, but cannot take into account all the details" is a consistent problem of chasing light ,
"Nezha Rebirth" has already suffered a loss from chasing light, although it has changed in "Yang Jian" , but still left many flaws in the plot.
For example, the two stories of Yang Jian chopping Taoshan to save his mother and Agarwood chopping Huashan to save his mother are forcibly linked to , and
are attributed to the same reason, which makes the plot seem too thin.
It can be seen that the screenwriter tried hard to integrate elements that are familiar to the public,
but he never made the story logic clear, which made the audience unconvinced.
After watching the movie, many friends raised such questions :
If every time the mountain is split, the person being crushed will be wiped out, then what is the meaning of splitting the mountain?
In order to suppress the power of Xuanniao, Master Yuding made a plan that resulted in Yang Chan exhausted the power of the lotus lantern and was crushed under the Huashan Mountain.
But the fact is that even if Xuanniao was sealed, the people still experienced a great disaster.
Yang Jian and Chen Xiang braved the world's disapproval and broke the conspiracy of the real person Yuding, splitting the mountain to save their mother,
but they still had to sacrifice Yang Chan to resolve it. The black bird disaster,
's so-called pursuit of the cycle of adaptation, and the endless growth of all things,
in the end, except for the sacrifice of Yao Ji and Yang Chan, the two resentful mothers, there is no other difference.
Telling the story in this way not only makes the story lose its original sense of logic, but also makes the female characters with similar identities overly stereotyped.
The three female characters in the film who serve as story clues: Yao Ji, Yang Chan and the Wushan goddess have very similar personalities.
Perhaps the Wushan Goddess, as Yang Chan's best friend, can bring more conspiracy and hostility to her body,
But she can't get rid of that kind of sacrificial stubbornness and self-motivation.
I don't know when,
"Goddess" This image must be sacrificed, righteous, and full of tragedy to be complete.
makes people think about why a good character must die before he can stand?
Perhaps it started when Nuwa sacrificed herself to benefit all things and mend the sky with her body.
The endless life of all things requires spiritual sacrifice in order for the cycle to continue.
But how is this different from the act of dedicating oneself to suppress demons?
Such an ending is difficult to be logically consistent with the spiritual core that it originally wanted to express.
Perhaps future screenwriters can focus more on small things,
explore the "human" nature and shortcomings of gods, which is not enough to establish the characters rather than the aura of greatness and righteousness.
In this regard, "Nezha Magic Pill" seems to be better than "Yang Jian".
uses a Nezha that we have never seen to establish the main tone of the character and find resonance between the audience and the character.
passed Character growth leads to the character's personality and sacrifice.
It is precisely because Mowan Nezha has the fear, loneliness and desire of ordinary people,
that his final words of "Fuck destiny, my destiny is up to me" are more real.
Only then can he sacrifice himself for what he loves. Even more precious.
Of course, the flaws in the content of "New God List Yang Jian" are only apparent in comparison with the full production effects.
The whole movie gives the audience more that is "worthwhile" and is "shocking" .
The audience put forward demands for the plot, which also represents everyone's love and expectations for Chinese comics.
The beautiful 3D picture shows the beauty of Chinese style three-dimensionally.
The rise of national comics is by no means an empty talk. The advanced punk national trend is breathtaking and has become a gluttonous feast for moviegoers.
In the Penglai Island, ancient oriental buildings are lined up in rows, the flying boats are bustling, and the beauty is overwhelming.
In the land of Yingzhou, fairy music plays in unison, and strange clouds and pavilions emerge in endlessly.
The song "Flying Heaven" by the Wushan Goddess in Xianlefang perfectly reproduces the exotic mysterious beauty of Dunhuang,
The interior decoration is extremely All the luxury described in "Tongquetai Fu",
the goddess dances gracefully in "Luo Shen Fu",
as beautiful as the closing moon of light clouds, fluttering like the snow falling in the flowing wind, it is so beautiful.
Jinxia Cave flows out with gurgling clouds and vast mist, the road is simple, and the winding path leads to secluded areas;
Huashan Mountain twists and turns nine times, the statues of gods are majestic and solemn, and the miraculous Taoist fairy wind winds out;
Tianlao lingers The enlightened beast with nine heads, representing power and imprisonment, is gloomy and majestic;
The ink and wash rendered in the Tai Chi illusion slowly fade away, hiding the solemn murderous intention...
The unique oriental characteristics details are full of meaning. Chinese aesthetics.
"Here I am, Yang Jian of Meishan!"
Following Jiao Enjun, there is finally an animation that perfectly reproduces the Erlang Shenjun in the hearts of Chinese people.
He has sharp edges and corners, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like a crown jade, and a handsome figure.
Whether it is the handsome ranger wearing a turban and slightly opening his robe, or the Dharmakaya Yuanshen who has reopened his heavenly eyes and swallowed the world with anger,
Yang Jian's handsomeness is the presence that makes people brighten their eyes in the movie.
Every look, every moment, during the movie watching, you can always hear exclaims of "so handsome."
In addition to Yang Jian, Shen Gongbao, Roaring Sky Dog, the Four Heavenly Kings...
Even that reselling elixir The Little Medicine Fairy, every character is extremely brilliant..
fairies and monsters, countless mythical beasts and monsters in " Classic of Mountains and Seas " came out of ancient books and were presented to the audience one by one.
Shen possessed by Li Bai Male Leopard, the Four Heavenly Kings with different personalities,
they are made of flesh and blood, subversive yet fitting, dazzling yet simple,
five thousand years of cultural beliefs blossomed into stars in a movie.
Maybe " New God List Yang Jian " is not perfect ,
but its attitude allows us to see that the national comic industry is growing rapidly and is hungry for breakthroughs.
This summer vacation, I hope that "God of War" can become a majestic episode that will stick in the hearts of the audience.
