Hello everyone, this is Jianman Club!

Because of the participation of a number of popular stars such as Yang Mi , Gong Jun , " Fox Demon Little Matchmaker " has been on the hot search for many times. As a domestic animation IP that has been serialized for 7 years, this animation It has won the love of countless fans for its excellent story creation and profound emotional portrayal.

For many people, this is more than just a story. "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker" has created characters such as Baichu , Tushan Honghong, Wang Quan Fugui and other characters so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that even though many big-name stars have now joined them , but many people are worried that "live action will destroy animation."

It can be seen that this animation is indeed very well done, so much so that many comic fans came out to speak out for it. In the Chinese comic market, there are not many successful long-form animations focusing on love in the past few years, so this animation may have a bit of a "white moonlight" meaning to many people.

The live-action version of

that became popular before it was aired. If you want an animated IP to reach new heights (and make money at the same time), live-action is inevitable. After all, the "circle" of the second dimension is still quite small compared to the third dimension. There are a lot of people, and the way to recover costs is relatively simple. This is also an important reason why many classic IPs have been adapted into live-action versions in recent years.

In other words, it is difficult to make real money from animation, and many national comics rely mostly on the feelings of some people + the help of some capital . When an animation is somewhat famous, expanding the market is the best way.

However, compared to some animations, "Fox Fairy Matchmaker" can be considered as "calm" as . After all, it has been 7 years since this animation was updated, and the IP is really popular. The time is not now either. However, there should be no problem for this animation to be self-sufficient in the first two years. After all, the audience is already quite large compared to many Chinese comics.

's current live-action version is not a new attempt, but it is necessary for "Fox Fairy Matchmaker". 's clichéd love story can no longer meet the needs of some comic fans, and some viewers complained that "the level has dropped." . The creation of new stories still takes time. The arrival of the live-action version at this time can not only maintain the popularity of the IP itself, but also "make some money" for animation. In fact, it is not a bad thing in itself.

And the configuration of Yang Mi + Gong Jun + Yuan Bingyan and others can be regarded as the "top-class" ancient puppet combination in the entertainment industry today. Yang Mi's appearance and popularity are enough to make an IP active. Even the producers said her look was great. Since Gong Jun finished filming " Shanhe Ling ", he has also become a highly popular representative among new niche actors. Although not as exaggerated as Xiao Zhan , he is still quite popular. Yuan Bingyan has filmed several female-led dramas that have received good responses. This time she chose Fox Demon because of the influence of the IP itself. The fact that the live-action version of

html's "Ocean Red Chapter" is now popular before it is aired is inseparable from the popularity of the work itself that has accumulated for several years, and it is also inseparable from the "publicity" effect of these people in a short period of time.

Not surprisingly, this will be an inseparable model for many popular animations in the future, and the time between animation and live-action versions may become shorter and shorter.

refers to "Douluo Dalu" and "Fights Breaking the Sphere" that have been released in the early stage, as well as "Under One Person", which has been repeatedly reported for filming.

Of course, the live-action of an IP may be a good thing for the animation itself, but for comic fans, it may not be a good thing.

htmlThe "love classic" achieved in 77 years

is different from the Japanese comic market, which has played the love theme "badly". The number of love stories in the Chinese comic market is actually not large, let alone full-length animation. When "The Little Matchmaker" was first released, it won the "hearts" and tears of many comic fans with its "reincarnation and renewal of fate" setting.

"Fox Demon Little Matchmaker" has been updated to the present, telling a total of ten chapters of the story, including the Xiasha chapter between the best master in the Western Regions Fan Yunfei and Ice General Li Xueyang; the first soldier of the Yiqi Dao Alliance, Wang Quan The Royal Chapter of the sadomasochistic love between Fu Gui and Qing Tong, the spider spirit; the Moon Red Chapter of the past between the two protagonists Dongfang Yue and Tu Shan Honghong; the Qian Yan Chapter of the flower-picking thief Yan Ruyu and the Western Region policeman Lu Jian; the Southern Chapter ; The Bamboo Industry Chapter between King Power, Rich and His Father King Power and Hegemony and his mother (it is rumored on the Internet that this story will star Liu Shishi ); and the subsequent tail life chapters, Jin Chenxi chapters, and Mu Tiancheng that have gradually declined in level of criticism Chapter, Two Flowers Chapter.

The stories in all chapters are connected by the modern characters Bai Yuechu and Susu after the reincarnation of Dongfang Yueyu and Tushan Honghong in the main line. Therefore, each story will contain some content of the main line story.

However, no matter which story, the love line is the most important. One person and one demon renew their relationship through reincarnation. The sadomasochistic love affair in the previous life is so deep that it basically takes a funny route in this life . This kind of reversal is also One of the highlights. In particular, the transformation from kingly power and wealth to , king, wealth and is the most dramatic of all stories.

Take the currently filming "Moon Red" starring Yang Mi and Gong Jun as an example. The relationship between the little Taoist Dongfang Yue Yue and the domineering Tu Shan Honghong is very tortuous. The two people in love were separated due to various entanglements in the world, and they were left alone. He used his life to fulfill another person, and the other person used all his magic power to continue this fate.

Judging from the story itself, the stories in each chapter of "Fox Fairy Matchmaker" may not be amazing. So why does this IP gain so much attention?

The key point is that the whole story incorporates several romantic elements unique to Chinese people:

. The setting of the fox demon's "reincarnation and continued relationship"

Perhaps other countries have had the same type of film and television dramas, but the fox fairy and The story of the scholar has been circulated in China for hundreds of thousands of years. Many people can think of the story they have seen before. The most classic ones are probably the image of the fox in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and "Feng Shen Bang". .

And what this kind of reincarnation represents is " deep affection and single-mindedness", which is a belief that you must be yours in every life. Although the times have changed and your personalities are different, the heart that likes you has never changed. This kind of emotion is very important to you. It is also very valuable to many people.

. The barrier between humans and demons is broken

Although it does not involve the concept of "different species", in the stories we are familiar with, the love between humans and demons will not have a good outcome after all. In the story Although this barrier also exists, two people who love each other finally break through this barrier and achieve each other .

. Sublimation from tragedy to comedy

Tragedy aesthetics has been fully used in this work, and has even tortured many comic fans. The gap between human beings and monsters has existed since ancient times, and the animation also raised this issue. , so every story you see at the beginning is presented in the form of tragedy.

It is precisely because the protagonists in each story could not be together in the previous life that the story of the later life is created. The transition from tragedy to comedy not only arouses the emotions of the audience, but is also a sublimation of emotion. As long as two stars The hearts that love each other continue to move towards each other firmly, and they will eventually have a happy ending.

With these layers of emotions as a foreshadowing, the story’s appeal naturally increases.

real person destroys animation?

In order to build the "foundation" of "Fox Fairy Matchmaker", the animation production took at least two or three years. It is not until the end of the Yuehong chapter that the story may have reached its true climax. The content of subsequent chapters will be high and low. There are ups and downs, but the impact on the entire IP is not too great.

Nowadays, the arrival of the live-action version has made some old fans a little worried. Will the scene of "live-action destroying animation" happen again?

I have said it at the beginning about the effect of real people on animation. As for the issue of "destruction", it depends on how the comic fans understand it. When it comes to the problem between actors and character images, everyone may have their own ideas. The most important thing is In fact, there are only two points, one is the acting skills of , and the other is the restoration of the plot .

These two are both veteran actors in the entertainment industry. They are still good at acting. This is relatively stable. However, if you want to perform two-dimensional things in the three-dimensional, you still need to think carefully. The grandiose cousin and the tone are both difficulties.

The second one is to restore the plot. The love line is definitely not a big problem, but some settings make people curious. For example, at the beginning of , some comic fans proposed to make the famous scene of the king, power and wealth being hit by a sword first , and then consider the live-action version.

These two questions can only depend on the arrangement of the actors and props team, or the special effects team. It is currently unknown. The animation is adapted into a live-action work. Because the animation comes first, there are a lot of things that need to be compared and shot. I don’t know about the Yuehong chapter. What's the arrangement here?
