    Listening to Du Xinghe singing "My Former Me", many students thought of the very good domestic 3D movie "The Return of the Great Sage" which was released last month.  ¡û Du Xinghe also watched this movie. He has a strong attachment to Wukong, so he was deeply touched by seeing such a movie.  Just like the theme song "My Past" sings, "The call in the heart is always lingering."  Presumably, every adult audience who is still willing to buy tickets for Chinese animated films must still be wandering in some corner of their hearts calling for the nirvana of Chinese animated films - hoping that one day, it can respect the aesthetics of the audience.  literacy, instead of wantonly squandering the audience's trust through flashy and inappropriate publicity campaigns; it is hoped that one day, it can respect the professional ethics of filmmakers, instead of just treating the film industry as a factory and a cash withdrawal machine; it is hoped that one day, everyone  Adult children who have grown up can take their children and tell them proudly, baby, I am very happy to take you to watch this movie.  I am honored that "The Return of the Great Sage" is such a Chinese-language animated film that can make Chinese-speaking audiences proud.  Once upon a time, those of us who were born in the 1980s were still children. Today¡¯s children cannot imagine how excited and transfixed we were when we saw "Calabash Baby", "Black Cat Sheriff", and "Shuke Beta".  Many people will fall asleep and let the gourd baby teach us how to be invulnerable, or they will stay awake at night because the male and female mantises eat each other.  Later, when I grew up, I stopped watching cartoons.  But when we changed the channel and found that the only cartoons on TV were cartoons such as "Blue Cat's Three Thousand Questions", "The Infested Bears" and "Fruits", we were full of doubts and puzzles.  Constrained by old-fashioned thinking, Chinese elders do not believe that adults should watch any form of animated movies, but besides that, why do we suddenly stop creating cartoons for children after the age of ten?  This is not to say that such preschool cartoons have no meaning, but no parent would be proud to drag their eleven or twelve-year-old children into the cinema to watch the "Teletubbies" movie.  Chinese animation has left a gap in the market voluntarily.  There will definitely be imported products to fill it up.  Therefore, we should not blame today¡¯s children for only recognizing Japanese comics and beautiful comics, just like we should not complain about the desolate people moving to wealthy lands when food does not grow on their own land.  I am very happy that young film and animation practitioners have realized this, and excellent films full of sincerity and ideas such as "Qin Shi Mingyue", "Quiba", "Dragon Nest: Breaking Dawn" and "Ten Cold" have gradually emerged.  Chinese animated film.  And now, another name has appeared on this concise short list.  "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage".  Similar to most successful commercial movies, the plot of "The Return of the Great Sage" is not complicated, and the theme of the story is not lonely. It is nothing more than repaying kindness, punishing evil and promoting good. This is also similar to "Journey to the West".  The story themes of this novel are consistent.  The point is that the same story can be interpreted by creative teams of different levels, and the results will be very different.  The creative team of director Tian Xiaopeng completed this story interpretation to an absolutely high level and even exceeded expectations.  The film structure is not complicated.  Single level and single line, narrated in chronological order, it tells a story before the journey to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.  The plot includes classic scenes and is not completely limited to the existing framework of the novel. The causes and consequences of rescuing Sun Wukong will give the audience a viewing experience that is different from traditional perceptions.  In addition to the high degree of completion of the storyline, the film's layout of Chang'an City, Five Elements Mountain, and the final newly added scenes will also give the audience an experience different from the novel.  About character and landscape modeling.  It can be seen that it is a key indicator to distinguish the quality of animated movies.  The movie makes a great effort at this point.  Details such as modeling proportions, halo rendering, character hair, signs of movement, etc. are very natural.  Even though the roughness of the layers can still be seen in some scenes, it can also be covered up by the excellent camera sense.  The plot and scenery are only used to explain the existence of the characters.  The character settings of this animated film are layered and faithful to the original work, in addition to the protagonists such as Monkey King and Zhu Bajie. Care can also be seen in the settings of many peripheral characters.  From the raccoon in "Guardians of the Galaxy" to Baymax in "The Incredibles" to Hubbard in "Monster Hunt".  The film industry must have confirmed the golden status of the equation of "cuteness = blockbuster". In "The Return of the Great Sage", we will also see the completely adorable Tudigong. After the movie, I started searching on Taobao.  Its surroundings.  In addition to the story, scenery and characters, what is very worthy of praise is the exquisite conception of the action scenes.  Although it is completely in the style of Hollywood gags, the connection is interesting and natural, and sometimes even has the illusion of a Hollywood production.  What's even more gratifying is that this kind of action choreography is not just a small part, but basically throughout the whole story.  It is undeniable that, as the Chinese animated film market is still in the stage of increasing its local identity,On the whole, the film production process of "The Return of the Great Sage" is still based on traditional Hollywood-style film expressions.  In this context, how to demonstrate its labeling characteristics as "Chinese", appropriately express local cultural characteristics, and make effective distinctions in the market has become an important topic.  Without presentation, the labeling meaning will be lost and the individual characteristics of the film will be lost; improper presentation will easily make the audience feel preachy and contrived, which will harm the overall quality of the film.  On this basis, if you pay attention to the details in this movie, you will find the creator's intentions.  The audience can carefully read the scenes with local traditional characteristics such as shadow puppetry and Qin dialect that appear in the film.  Of course, in Du Xinghe¡¯s opinion, this movie still has some shortcomings that need continuous improvement.  For example, the Wang Banbi episode that appeared in the film due to the need for market selling points was very different from the mood of the scene at that time; for example, the lack of preparation for the lifting of the shackles of Monkey King in the end seemed very casual; for example, the frame loss phenomenon in the final battle,  Rough modeling reflects insufficient funding.  etc.  But the shortcomings do not hide the good points. From an objective evaluation from the historical perspective of the current Chinese animation market, these can be improved as market acceptance and brand recognition gradually increase.  "The Return of the Great Sage" has a highly complete storyline, careful character and scenery design, and exquisitely arranged and layered action scenes. The overall quality is still very gratifying.  Unfortunately, if you look up director Tian Xiaopeng's personal resume online.  Found out there wasn't even a photo for reference.  In today's market environment where the recognition of Chinese animated films is generally low, and combined with self-written, self-directed and eight years of hard work, shouldn't we applaud the silent efforts of such a team?  What is certain is that this team will definitely have a mark on their future publicity resume - "The masterpiece "The Return of the Great Sage"".  For Chinese animated films, Du Xinghe does not dare to expect that there will be such long-lasting movies as "Rurouni Kenshin", "Yu Yu Hakusho", "Saint Seiya", "Slam Dunk", "Detective Conan", "One Piece" and "Naruto" in a short time.  As a national cultural product with international influence, we don¡¯t expect that the Chinese people¡¯s own Oriental Disney Empire can be established overnight on the land of China.  But as long as the cherished childhood imprint in our hearts has not disappeared, as long as we continue to persist in absorbing the essence of tradition, as long as we do not give up learning advanced culture, as long as there are still young "idiots" who simply struggle in the film industry, Chinese animation  The dream will never disappear.  Speaking of "The Return of the Great Sage", we have to talk about another blockbuster "The Taoist" that was released at the same time as "The Return of the Great Sage".  Du Xinghe also watched this movie, and watched it with high expectations, but he got a lot of disappointment.  Why is Chen Kai a front-line director?  He couldn't remember it anymore.  Ten years ago when "The Promise" came out, everyone criticized "Farewell My Concubine" for being the acting director.  The words are still surprising and regretful. Ten years later, the same person can still criticize the same person in the same sentence.  In this endless thought of running out of talents, he still made money in the name of a first-line director for ten years.  It has to be admirable.  ??It is undoubtedly seriously unfair to Zhang Yimou to compare Zhang and Chen to the legendary fifth generation and even the entire Chinese film industry.  The title of "National Master" has caused the public to have a rebellious mentality and ridiculed it for many years. After the prosperity, the casual retro "Return" still convinced the public.  In fact, think carefully about Zhang Yimou¡¯s works over the years.  Only "Three Guns" meets the criteria of being useless, and the others are no good.  There are still contributions.  Putting aside his skills and reputation, at least Zhang's ability to discover new talents is recognized as first-rate. Even in the era of fast money and impetuous star creation, he never failed.  Where is Brother Chen Kai?  You have never heard of a showgirl or a singer, and the brilliance of his masterpiece is only Leslie Cheung's own brilliance.  The only outstanding personal aesthetic is the continuity from Zhang Fengyi to Wang Xueqi. I have long said that this is obviously the perfect type 1 in Niang Ge's heart.  Director Chen has no patience for discovering new talents, and he is even less interested (neng) (li) in transforming celebrities to put his own mark on them. He just wants to accumulate the most well-known and topical celebrities at the moment to cook a potpourri.  Even the low news that Fengzhi got back together at that time was not missed. He has the same thinking as all the short-sighted grass-stage teams. The only difference is that he has the reputation of a front-line director to achieve it.  Therefore, for so many years, except for the daughter-in-law who became a mother-in-law, acting in director Chen's works has been insulated from awards. He has not even looked at the Chinese-speaking industry awards, let alone the "international route", because he has not considered who should be better.  He's suitable for the role, but he's not in the mood to polish it for you. He only has a small calculation of who to play the topic in return for a more cost-effective performance.  A soulless character does not require acting skills. In recent years, acting in director Chen¡¯s movies has been a casual and cherished experience.  It's strange that "Taoist" has developed to the point where it's not about whether the characters are suitable or whether the acting skills are adequate, but about whether you can ABC choose the acting method and repeat the mistakes.When the need arises, he doesn't even bother.  I can understand that Wei Ling's acting as Jinlian is limited. There are many special actors, and idols have a willful appearance. However, as a front-line director, Fan Wei's leadership-style speech of waiting for three seconds before speaking, do you allow his abruptness to be regarded as his personality?  Your old darling Wang Xueqi's every move and gesture is so pretentious that he choked the old Zen master to death with one sentence. Zhang Zhen's hard-working style over the years can be divided into two realms of ice and fire by the same genre film.  There are no themes that Chen Kai is good at.  He is neither good at "local" nor can he play foreign things.  On the contrary, whatever is popular in the market, he will immediately (try to) follow it.  Fantasy was popular at the beginning of the century. He thought he was stepping into a hot spot while avoiding the clich¨¦s of martial arts competition among the great directors at the time. As a result, he became a laughingstock for the ages.  That "Search" was a subject that all Chinese B-movies failed to make five years ago. Is he still secretly happy that he has sharply explored the social hot spots of modern information explosion?  He wants to show off in everything, embarrass himself in everything, and shows his incompetence in everything.  The casting is impetuous and the subject matter is impetuous.  On the contrary, it is integrated with the general trend of the film industry. To make matters worse, Director Chen has a terminal illness that is different from others and more terrifying - profound control.  Movies are the art of pretending 24 times a second.  As a first-line director, how can I not be profound?  The story itself is not important, what is important is that it can teach ordinary people the principles of life, and everything must be related to the universe.  Every sentence is inspiring.  From the surface of things that may be the simplest or the most exaggerated, we must realize the Buddha, the Tao, the liberation from the secular world, and the understanding of birth, old age, sickness, and death.  Everyone said that Taoist priests are The Promise 2, mainly because they are disgusting.  There are so many types of bullshit, none of which look so infuriating.  Ang Lee doesn't like to do "classic lines", and the cynical tone of Jing Youzi who protects Shu Bao has to be covered by self-deprecation.  Wong Kar-Wai loves mass-producing pretentious sentences.  Everyone is worried that canned pineapples and rejecting others first are tricks that were used to fool the unformed young people in the 1990s. It would be too shocking now. However, when "The Grandmaster" came out, they created whatever environment they wanted to express, and 99.9% of the line writers  Still can only kneel.  Without this diamond, you really shouldn¡¯t take this porcelain job.  It's purely funny to know that a front-line director can't let go of his figure, but his ability has been bloody tested many times, but he just can't give up the profundity.  No matter how much Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism embellish it.  You can't show off your cleverness that you never had before. This is a sport that makes everyone laugh together.  Do we have to popularize it from movie youth to square aunt?  I looked at the subtitles and credit translation so hard that I made malicious assumptions. When I thought that Hu Bijian could produce a work that seemed to be of high quality, these lines and narrations that seemed to be philosophical were originally intended to deceive the country.  Ren's, because the world likes "profound".  And every detail in the corner is Director Chen¡¯s confident imagination about the hot topic on the Internet that triggered the Internet "City Shocked CP Burns Cuteness!" and "Shaolin Baoqiang¡¯s Magic Smile" after its release.  I thought I had strong hands.  Forget that we have a lower tolerance for a big bad movie with all the stars together than for a grassroots bad movie.  There is also a disgusting saying that the stunned rot is really disgusting.  Overlord is a sidestep, and the hot topic has naturally become an important point for Director Chen to cater to. Perhaps he is especially happy to see two special sections dedicated to this characteristic of Chen Kaige's films in a special topic like this.  Good trademark.  Liu Ye Dongjian¡¯s magic cp, Uncle Xiao Ming¡¯s parenting cp, the sun and moon in cities and towns in Hong Kong and Taiwan become one.  To put it to the extreme, ancient martial arts movies and gun fight movies from the golden age are mostly about corruption. What is rotten is a sincere attitude, a lack of loyalty, a lack of words, and a refusal to be muddled. Hidden in 99% of the tough guy, 1% of the tenderness.  Only then can it be moving.  As for Chen Kaige's corruption, it is purely a variation of the clich¨¦s of men and women, and they look at each other sincerely. There is no sincerity in telling a story, but they are still looking forward to forming topic points.  As a senior corruption controller, I am already used to the situation of rolling on the lawn. To use a word that is often said recently, the embarrassment syndrome will not be cured in the long run.  ¡°A first-tier Chinese director who doesn¡¯t have a single martial arts film is really embarrassed to say hello to others.  Regardless of whether you have seen countless fights, you have to take care of me. This is the first time in history, a long and repetitive fight, the Pegasus Meteor Fist that everyone else played twenty years ago, every fight is a classic, and every move is reluctant to cut.  Who can tell me what's going on between Zhang Zhen and Lin Xue?  My little wife is celebrating her birthday by ruining the show and singing for only a few minutes. You have to beat me up for days. What kind of grudge is there?  Logical confusion abounds, the cause and effect are unclear, and the rhythm is a mess.  In the ancient traditional era, everyone expected you to tell a complete story. Tolerant modern people don¡¯t even ask for this. There is a market for collections of jokes and stupid stories, and there are also bad tastes like ours. We can see our blood even from a step away.  open.  It's a pity that you are neither funny nor can you pretend to be serious, so you filmed a nonsense subject, forget it if it is not good, and it is not even mysterious.  ¡°In short, this movie left Du Xinghe speechless.  If he had the chance to make a movie in the future, he would never take a role like this.  After Du Xinghe sang "The Me Before", the next song was finally Bao's turnHe Miao, a very popular cute girl here.  She ordered a song called "Thousand Paper Cranes" by Tang Xu, and as soon as she started singing, she made the students in the private room cute -  I think I'm not suitable~ Every turn you said~ It's like spring outside the window  The scenery~ I don¡¯t think I understand~ I can only send you here~ What should I say~¡­ You are only temporary~ Escape from the flower-scented city~ Elegance~ Driving by~ I bumped into me in the middle~  Little Jasmine on the hillside~ ¡­ I think I¡¯m not suitable~ The thousand cranes you gave me~ The color of the candy wrappers when I was a child~ Why don¡¯t you understand~ Sometimes it¡¯s a little difficult to be yourself~¡­ Okay  It¡¯s easy for you to say~ We have something to commemorate together~ Dinner topics~ Only then can we be cautious~ A tacit understanding of caring for and growing together~¡­ After singing a few songs in a row, we sat down and listened quietly to He Miao¡¯s sweet singing, Du Xinghe  I couldn't help but praise this small busty girl in my heart: she's so cute.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
