's "New God List: Yang Jian", as the closing film of the summer program, presents a magnificent dream to the public. Although the plot is slightly weak, it has attracted a lot of controversy, but from the perspective of picture, special effects, and audio-visual effects, But it is an unquestionably fine work, the pictures are beautiful, and the use of special effects can almost be said to be the top level in domestic animation films. There are only four words in the feeling of
after reading it, and I am convinced. This special effect, I give 9 points!
mentions Chinese mythology , mentions heaven, fairyland, etc., according to our public perception, we will directly associate with ancient style, antique fragrance, ink and wash charm, and fairy style.
That's right, this movie satisfies the public's imagination. It has the elements of ancient style and ancient rhythm and ink painting, but it is not limited to this!
This is a different fairyland, because after the battle of conferring gods 1500 years ago, the power to maintain the heavenly world has weakened, and the gods can't fly. How do they communicate with each other?
Don't worry! The director arranged for them a cool and explosive vehicle, powered by "Hunyuan Zhenqi", all kinds of exquisite "high-tech" spaceships in the fairyland shuttled back and forth, and those who didn't know thought they had entered Star Wars. What about the background.
a whole steampunk fairyland! The ancient style of Chinese mythology ink and wash, combined with the interstellar exploration cyberpunk style, can blend together without breaking the harmony. This is really amazing, and I can't help but fall in love with this bizarre world.
Wushan goddess is graceful, dancing in the air, like a dream, as if the flying sky in the Dunhuang murals came to life, alive in front of your eyes, dancing in the air, this is a wonderful scene only in the ethereal fairyland.
And the best visual effect in the audience is the transformation environment in the Taiji map, shuttle from one scene to another scene, breaking the barriers of reality, like falling into different dimensional space layer after layer.
The domestic animation movies are getting more and more powerful. It is a very happy thing to sit in the theater and experience such a beautiful audio-visual effect. , and suddenly it is like flying in the clouds, as if entering a different world, experiencing the elusiveness of fairyland and the beauty of technology. The fly in the ointment of
is that the layout of the plot is a bit weak, or it may be that the screenwriter has great ambitions, and the idea is originally profound, but it is not supported by smooth expression and clear logic lines. The effect is that it is a bit broken.
is essentially an old story. A new pot contains old wine.
When Yang Jian came out, he was blinded and lost his mana. A blue tie-dyed turban covered the third eye on his forehead.
According to the outside world, Yang Jian's younger sister Yang Chan went to earth privately, married with mortals, gave birth to a son, and violated the laws of heaven, so Yang Jian put his sister under Huashan Mountain. Yang Chan injured Yang Jian's eye with a lotus lantern, and Yang Jian lost his divine power.
In order to survive in the immortal world, Erlang Shen, who used to be majestic in the past, has now become a bounty hunter . Until this day, a girl named Wan Luo invited him to go out and find a thief named Chen Xiang. The reason is that thieves stole family heirlooms from her and her sister.
In the process of looking for Chenxiang, Yang Jian discovered that Chenxiang was Yang Chan's son, his nephew.
12 years ago, Yang Jian sent Chenxiang, who had not yet been named, to his master Yuding Zhenren in Lotus Peak. Twelve years later, Yang Jian learned that Chenxiang killed his master, Yang Jian's second junior brother, stole his master's treasure (the family heirloom that Miss Wanluo said), and betrayed his teacher.
Yang Jian realized that Miss Wan Luo had lied. He quickly figured out Miss Wanluo's intentions. It turned out that she had been trying to guide him to help Chenxiang, restore the lotus lantern, and split the mountain to save his mother.
And Wan Luo's true identity is the goddess of Wushan, the good sister of Yang Jian's mother.
Yang Jian had to tell Chen Xiang the truth of 12 years ago. He and Yang Chan were ordered by their teachers to suppress Xuanniao under Huashan, because Xuanniao would cause chaos in the world. Xuanniao's power was too strong, Yang Chan jumped in to suppress it, and Yang Jian hurt his eyes.
Now, in order to continue to suppress Xuanniao, the real person Yuding is doing everything possible to prevent Chenxiang from splitting the mountain to save her mother. However, in the early years, Master Yuding took the initiative to accept Yang Jian as his apprentice, and taught him spells carefully. It can be said that Yang Jian gave him a lot of help in the process of splitting Taoshan to save his mother.
Although the facts are unacceptable, Yang Jian still sees the truth of the matter: he is just a chess piece in the hands of the master. In the past, he borrowed his power to split mountains and release mysterious birds. , the faction represented by the real person Yu Ding ranked in the immortal class.
1500 years have passed, Xuanniao will be born again, causing chaos in the world, but at this time, the real person Yuding is already in power, the chaos in the world, and the re-ranking of the gods list will inevitably affect the status of Jinxiadong in the fairyland, so he wants to Stop the black bird from coming out.
And Yang Chan is just a victim of Yu Ding Zhenren in order to maintain his vested power. Back then, Yang Jian thought it was a sacrifice to save the common people, but the fact was to satisfy the selfish desires of these immortals.
Wan Luo also gave the fact that the black bird cannot be suppressed. The more suppressed it is, the stronger the black bird is. The black bird symbolizes an unstoppable and primitive force of nature, just like the changing seasons in nature. In general, the immortal world on earth will experience great chaos, then great order, and then enter a new balance, which is the law of the operation of heaven.
Yang Jian borrowed the power of the mysterious bird to open the eyes of the sky, and had a wonderful battle with his master Yu Ding Zhenren and the Mojia brothers (the Four Heavenly Kings). It was a battle between the heroes representing the new forces and the decadent conservative forces, and the hero naturally won the battle.
Chenxiang split the mountain to save her mother. After splitting it, she found that her mother had already merged with the power of the mysterious bird, and the person was no longer there. In the end, she was also lonely.
But after all, the black bird is still split, and a new round of troubled times will follow, a new round of power struggles and the reorganization of the fairy class.
Therefore, the core inside the shell to save the mother is exactly the hero representing the new force, breaking through the shackles of patriarchy, and openly resisting the conservative forces that hinder the operation of the heavenly way for their own selfish desires or vested interests.
But unfortunately, the story was not told well. As the male protagonist, Yang Jian, who was blinded by his master from the beginning, gradually saw the truth of the matter, and finally woke up and made the final choice, should be a man full of pain and struggle. The process, but also a key part of the hero's growth, is not clearly presented in the film.
The main characters' mental journey is not very clear, and the motives for their actions are relatively vague. In the end, the personal growth of the hero and the image of the characters have not been elevated, and the main idea is not clearly demonstrated. The audience is a little confused at the end.
Although the plot is a bit shattered, the visual effects are really beautiful, which has supported the reputation of "New God List: Yang Jian". Douban scored 7 points. For this special effect, it is absolutely worth it. If the next animation of
can overcome the problem of weak plot while maintaining the almost perfect visual effects, it will hopefully usher in the light of domestic animation.
