2023 Domestic animations are good. In addition to the animation collection "Chinese Tales", there are more excellent serial animations. But this year's animated movies are also good. The much-anticipated "Deep Sea" had mixed reviews, but "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" continued to hit the box office.
This animated film triggered a wave of movie viewing due to its good reputation. From the original prediction of a box office of about 600 million, the cumulative box office ended on October 7 with a total box office of 1.824 billion, ranking second in the domestic animation box office rankings. Surpassing the second place was "Jiang Ziya" with 1.566 billion.
"BearBear 9" leads the third place with a box office of nearly 1.5 billion, followed by "BearBear 8" with 977 million, "The Return of the Great Sage" with a box office of 977 million, "The Deep" with 919 million, and "BearBear 7" with 595 million 000 million, the remaining ones are "White Snake 2 Green Snake: The Rise of the Green Snake" by Light Chasing Animation with 580 million, "New God List Yang Jian" with 555 million, and "New God List Nezha Reborn" with 456 million.
That’s about it for domestic animated movies. Currently, they can be roughly divided into three levels. The first level is "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" (hereinafter referred to as "The Devil Boy Comes into the World"), which has a box office of more than 5 billion. It’s hard to believe that it is already a phenomenal movie that has broken the box office record in Chinese film history.
The second level is below 2 billion, "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" is close, and "Jiang Ziya" and "Bear 9" are around 1.5 billion. In fact, strictly speaking, only "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" is special, because it is a new animation without accumulation, "Bear Bears" relied on IP accumulation, and "Jiang Ziya" obviously picked up the promotion of Devil Boy.
Over the years, I believe many people who pay attention to domestic animation have discovered one thing, and that is every time a domestic animated movie is released. There will always be people comparing "The Devil Boy Comes into the World" to see what is overestimated and what I think is just like that -
What's the result? "Jiang Ziya" and "Bear Infested" are all stacked with BUFFs, but the box office cannot exceed 1.6 billion. "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" is somewhat similar, but it has a huge reputation and cannot hit 2 billion. Four years have passed, why is "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" still the box office ceiling for domestic animated films?
Douban 8.2, total box office 1.8 billion? Why "Thirty Thousand Miles from Chang'an" still can't beat "The Devil Boy"
Don't look at the fact that whenever there is an animation released, there is no shortage of animation fans who dislike "The Devil Boy Comes into the World". But "The Devil Comes into the World" is the first Chinese commercial animation to reach animation fans, ordinary audiences, and family audiences, which is the so-called family animation. The laughs, tears, ignitions, explosions, and bumps of this animation are all very balanced.
The only thing that netizens complain about the most is probably the artistic aspect. This animation also takes into account the other aspects, but it is indeed not as artistically accomplished as the old version. But here comes the question, does a movie with high artistic achievements necessarily have a high box office? Here is an example. The mythical animation "Nezha Haohai" by "Shangmei Factory" can be called the representative of Chinese animation art.
But even those who have not read the original work of "The Romance of the Gods" know that Nezha in the original work can be called the representative of the "little naughty boy", and he is different from the Liangshan hero that many viewers of CCTV's "Water Margin" thought. In the original work, Nezha used Hundian Ling to alarm the Dragon Palace. The Dragon King's third prince and Yaksha were killed for no reason when they came out to inquire, and the third prince suffered from cramps.
Later, Nezha tried to shoot an innocent apprentice of Empress Shiji with an arrow. Empress Shiji went to reason but was killed by the master and apprentice together -
Modern audiences can't stand it, so "Nezha Makes the Sea" has to be changed to The sky is dry and the ground is cracking, the Dragon King of the East China Sea does not rain, and he sends Yaksha to go to the beach to rob boys and girls. Nezha kills Yaksha because of his courage, and then kills Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon King, who comes for reinforcements - this kind of setting.
Generally speaking, mainland mythological dramas were the same as various TV dramas at that time. The cultural awareness of the Chinese people in the new era + the pursuit of traditional Chinese culture + the serious artistic expression of the mainland state-run = early domestic art dramas.
"The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is so popular with the audience, I believe there is no need to talk about this production aspect. Although the aesthetics is definitely not as good as "Nezha Haohai", it has clearly surpassed the new era and opened the first domestic commercial animated film. In the second stage of "The Return of the Great Sage", there are a few films in the middle but they are obviously not as good. They are on the same level as the second stage of "The Origin of the White Snake".
But this technical level has never been an absolute guarantee for a movie to achieve box office success. Otherwise, you can't explain why domestic animations are not so successful at the box office later? For example, Tian Xiaopeng's "Deep Sea".
html After 2004, is domestic animation still a "box office myth"? Why "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" The reason why "The Devil Boy Comes into the World" is successful is the storyline. It tells the story completely in a new mythological way, while ensuring the points of ignition, tears, laughter, and It has pain points and explosive points at the same time, and in the new era of Chinese families, parent-child education is certainly involved. The most important thing is that it is also taught very smoothly.
and being able to impress the audience are what make it successful.
For example, if the entire Dragon Clan pulled off their hardest scales to make armor for Ao Bing, it would be like a whole family sending their children to a prestigious school.
For example, Li Jing’s compromise and persistence for his children, recalling the scene where he said he was my son, were touching, etc.
After watching so many domestic animated films in the next few years, you will find that the storytelling level of the director of "The Devil Comes to the World" cannot be said to be top-notch in the world, but it is definitely higher than other domestic animated films by more than one level. The scripts are only close to those of "The Return of the Great Sage", "The Origin of the White Snake" and "Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles".
These three animations do not have so many "family-friendly" comedies, explosive points and dramatic conflicts, and their box office is not so successful.
"The Devil Comes into the World" is a "family fun" that allows the general public to spend money to buy tickets. This is not a main theme movie. Those who criticize companies for booking theaters can't blame this movie. It was paid by the public. After checking, "The Devil Comes to the World" ranked second with 141 million viewers.
The first place is "Wolf Warrior 2" with 159 million visitors, and the third is "Changjin Lake" with 124 million visitors.
China has a population of 1.4 billion, which accounts for one-tenth of the movie viewing volume. What kind of movie theater reservations, over-reputation, overestimation, and hype are the rewards of this? Many people just don't want to admit this, and they are just pretending to have a sense of superiority because of their good taste.
The evaluation of "The Devil Boy Comes to the World" later became controversial, mainly due to the public withdrawal, movie fans, animation fans and some netizens began to quarrel. The evaluation concepts of these people are completely different from the public. What the public looks at are the points listed above.
It's funny and tearful, passionate and tearful. Families can educate their children, adults can ignite their hearts against nature, and even some female viewers can even complain about CP, even if they pursue something deep and expressive. Does this animation have settings and plot lines such as "the prejudice of the human heart is a big mountain"?
This animation also attempts to be in-depth and does a good job. If we want to talk about the shortcomings of
, it is probably that it is for laughs and entertainment, and there is no depth to explain and depict the expression of the scene, resulting in some ambiguity in the expression and constant controversy.
4, no animation can surpass it? "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" is not perfect either.
Let me write from this perspective. The Dragon Clan gave birth to Ao Bing. Why should he go? Carrying the hope of the whole clan and helping the whole clan gain liberation is no problem, but what is the method? The Spirit-stealing Pill was injected into him and then he was asked to kill Nezha, who was supposed to have the Spirit Pill, and entered heaven through meritorious service.
How did Ao Bing do it? At the beginning, he listened conscientiously to the teachings of his father and master without knowing it, and practiced martial arts and magic. This must be in line with the requirements of filial piety. Later, the Long Clan and Shen Gongbao's plan was exposed, and they wanted to kill everyone in Chentangguan to hide it. He was forced to finally decide to take action but was defeated by Nezha.
Then Nezha is about to survive the tribulation. At this time, if he hides and waits for Nezha to die, won't he achieve his goal? As a result, he ran to help Nezha, indicating that he felt that his behavior was wrong.
Such a character has his own thoughts, is sensible, and cute, and the audience can understand him. Not to mention Nezha, he was originally the owner of the spiritual pill selected by Yuanshi Tianzun, but the spiritual pill was stolen and the magic pill was injected into his body, causing him to be born with a violent temperament.
Here is the theme that the movie wants to reflect, destiny. There is no way, this is Nezha's fate.
Later, when he wanted to play with those children on the street, how did people treat him? When you see him, you hide, scold him, beat him, and throw eggs at him. Combined with the attitudes of the children later when they mentioned Nezha, what is reflected here is the human heart. You haven't done anything bad, but your power is too strong and you are a "monster", so we don't accept you.
Nezha was just teasing them, and little Nezha only treated them the way they wanted to treat him at first. He lost control after they stimulated him again and again. The same goes for the character creations of Li Jing and Mrs. Li, there are no big problems.
The biggest problem still lies with Taiyi Zhenren and Shen Gongbao. Yuanshi Tianzun is suspected of treating the two apprentices differently.
Shen Gongbao caused trouble because he was not taken seriously by Yuanshi Tianzun. He also said the famous line: "The prejudice of people's hearts is a big mountain, which also fits the experiences of Nezha and Ao Bing."
corresponds to Shen Gongbao, Taiyi Zhenren, although this fat man speaking Sichuan dialect is very funny. But he often does bad things, and the subsequent story can only be established because he drank and got into trouble. In the end, although fighting to save people is a highlight, it cannot offset the theme of "people's prejudice is a big mountain", and the intensity is still far from enough.
The other one is "Nezha Myth" which mainly resists feudal patriarchy. Although "Nezha Naohai" has been adapted, the removal of bones to return to the father and the cutting of the flesh to return to the mother are still the core of the work. "The Devil Boy Comes into the World" was changed to a father who is kind and a son is filial. I don't understand, but it is more in line with the new society. The expression above is indeed A little weaker.
has a box office of 5 billion, is it still the ceiling for Chinese comics? Can "Nezha: The Devil Boy Havoc in the Sea" break the record again
Is "The Devil Boy Comes into the World" a good movie? Definitely. No animation can surpass it in 4 years, which proves that if you have something you want to express, you can produce it, and the story is quite interesting. For me, I think it’s okay. 5 billion is probably too much, at least. At present, Chinese animation movies are still top-notch.
So, is "The Devil in the Sea" expected to surpass the box office of the first film? Because of the popularity of the first part, its starting box office should be 2 billion, such as "Jiang Ziya" and "Chang'an 30,000 Miles". I think it is relatively stable, but whether it can catch up with the first part or even surpass it.
This depends on the quality and reputation of the movie, as well as how the adaptation can be like the first one and be fully upgraded. I personally hope that it will surpass the best in terms of quality and reputation, and catch up with the best at the box office.
After all, 4 years have passed, and the Color Bar House and Chasing the Light Myth animations have proven that it is the real god.
