this summer belongs to the national comics. Previously, "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" exceeded 4.9 billion in box office, leaping to the second place in the total box office list of Chinese film history; later, "Luo Xiaoheizhan" came in high cuteness, which once again triggered a two-dimensional fan screen spree . Since the release of
, the Douban score of "Luo Xiaohei Zhanji" has reached 8.2 points, and the box office has exceeded 300 million. Although it is not even a fraction of "Nezha", it is not easy for a two-dimensional original animation. On September 23, the film official Weibo announced the extension of the national key for one month, causing Luo Xiaohei's fans to shout "Hey Da Pu Ben", and they decided to go to the cinema again during the National Day for N support.
So, who is Luo Xiaohei? Why is the score so high? Why is there so much "tap water"? I believe that many movie fans have a series of question marks in their hearts. For this reason, we interviewed Mu Mu, the director and screenwriter of the movie "Luo Xiaohei". The
movie "Luo Xiaohei" originated from a cartoon of the same name produced by Mu Mu and his studio in March 2011. It tells the story of a small black cat living on the street being brought home by the girl Luo Xiaobai and named it "Luo Xiaohei", and a series of bizarre and mysterious stories that happened from this. In the play, Xiaohei, Bitiu, Hey and other cute things, and Chinese-style scenes such as Lanxi Town, Starry Night Lake, and Laojun Mountain have made this healing system "Instant Noodle Fan" successfully win the hearts of many fans.
"I've been thinking about what the legendary fairy would be like now." In the film, wood combines ancient legends, modern society, nature, high-tech and other elements into a huge world view system, which seems There is no sense of contradiction in the multiple mix and match.
What's interesting is that Nezha appeared in the second half of the film, wearing a NAZA shirt with a ball head tied, and a bit rebellious in his eyes. Many netizens questioned whether he was rubbing the heat next door. To this Mu Mu responded: "The world view is set from the beginning. As early as the first chapter, Laojun and other characters appeared."
has been serialized for 8 years, and "Luo Xiaohei Zhan Ji" has been played cumulatively at station B. 140 million times, nearly 3 million people chose to follow the fan. But in fact, as of this year, Luo Xiaohei has only updated 28 episodes, and the average episode is only about 5 minutes. What's more, there is an interval of 500 days between Chapter 27 and Chapter 28, which is called the "Lifetime" series by the audience.
Therefore, fans summed up two hobbies for wood: one is digging holes and the other is dragging drafts. But in Muko's view, for a two-dimensional animation that needs to be drawn 12 frames per second, the three or four episodes a year are updated "slowly is a bit slow, but not much faster", the reason is still the word "poor". From the initial living expenses of 500 yuan per month, insisting on making the first words for half a year, to letting the voice actor Shan Xin play 10 characters, only Mu knows the hardship behind it.
Five years ago, someone invested in wood to make a movie, and Luo Xiaohei also started a "breaking circle" journey from a small screen to a big screen. To make a big movie, Wood expanded the team from a few people to more than 50 people. Later, in order to complete the movie on time, the drama was stopped. When asked about the difference between a movie and a drama, Mu Mu blurted out: “The movie is more refined and more strenuous.” The
movie "Luo Xiaoheizhan" has a total of 101 minutes, which is equivalent to the volume of 20 usual episodes. In the movie, Luo Xiaohei, a cute cat demon, meets a man with high coldness and warmth. This happy friend travels to all corners of the world together, embarking on an adventure to save the world while regaining himself. The battle scene is smooth, the space scene is like a wallpaper. At the end, infinite said to Xiaohei, "From today, this is your home", which made many fans laugh with tears.
In addition, the coexistence of fairies and humans has also become a major theme of the film, and the earth-shattering fighting scenes between the infinite and windy climax paragraphs are based on this. The forest where the fairies once lived was occupied by humans, the environment was destroyed, resources were plundered, and the fairies became homeless. Director
did not rush to publicize the concept of environmental protection, or make simple and rude judgments of good and evil, but to present the life state of the goblins in all directions, discussing the prejudice and estrangement between them. Some fairies have integrated into human society. They work and earn money, and even indulge in mobile phone applications. Some fairies choose to stay at peace with humans, drink tea and play chess in the Fairy Spirit Hall, and even complain when they are bored, "The previous home was developed by humans." To become a scenic spot, now I have to buy tickets when I go home"; some goblins think that they want to retake the forest, otherwise "there will be nowhere to go one day."
Whether it’s a cat or a demon, when we are healed by the innocence and beauty in Luo Xiaohei’s world, a seed of kindness to nature will alsoSprout silently in my heart. It is worth mentioning that the movie "Luo Xiaohei Wars" and Ant Forest cooperated with the activity of "plant a tree and give the fairies a home". The daily watering amount of Luo Xiaohei Public Welfare Forest once rushed to the second place. In the future, 138 Pinus sylvestris will be actually planted. Fans have expressed their love for Luo Xiaohei with tangible environmental protection actions. The reason why
takes the cat as the protagonist of his anime, Muju revealed that a black cat raised many years ago, also called Xiaohei, many details about the cat in the film come from his daily life with the cat. Attentive audiences also discovered that Mu Mu likes to dig for inspiration from the people and things around him. His colleagues A Gen, Yun Fei, and Shan Xin have all been drawn into anime by him, and he even writes himself in an inconspicuous place on the screen. The names of favorite anime characters create "Easter Eggs" for fans.
At the same time, some viewers said after watching the movie that they "rated too high." The fans of the movie are too heavy, and some shortcomings cannot be ignored. For example, the cold humor leads to the intermittent narrative rhythm, some of the scenes resemble Hayao Miyazaki, and the plot is set to be too innocent and low.
However, for those fans who have been silently supporting Luo Xiaohei and Mu Mu for 8 years, giving an excellent national comic film and television work Amway to more people is not only a cross-dimensional gala, but more like an event "I watched you grow up, you watched me grow old" the youthful memory.
Compared with the full-feeling, expressive, and somewhat chatty "Sister Mu" on Weibo, the wood on the end of the phone is a little dull, and it seems to keep a certain distance from the three-dimensional. Although he only confided a few words, he could clearly feel his inner obsession and persistence in painting. "I have liked comics since I was a child, and I haven't thought of other ways." When it comes to the changes in the creation ecology of domestic animation in recent years, he used 3 "more and more" to describe his own feelings: "More and more people watch When the time comes, more and more people are willing to watch it, and more and more people are willing to be in this industry." A week after
was released, Mu Mu revealed on Weibo that the movie had returned to its original form, and the sequel and the second movie were also scheduled. , But he seems to have missed the days of painting. "After the movie is over, I will disappear. When I return to the table, my friends will also go away and gather together every time they are updated."
Whenever there is an explosion of anime, the topic of the rise of the country will always become The hot spot of people's discussion. No matter whether it rises or not, the market will always embrace more outstanding works. Let us be more patient and tolerant, wait and encourage more, and the next "Lifetime" series may soon arrive.
