As of now, the movie "Jiang Ziya" has ranked the National Day champion with a combined box office of 160 million +, attendance, average attendance, total attendance Etc. ranks first in the same period. As the second installment of the Caitiaowu Chinese Mythology series, every audience support that the film has received is inseparable from the "all-out" efforts of thousands of Chinese animators after the opening. It can be seen from this "3D production special" that the film has a total of 1851 shots, and each shot has been modified on an average of 20+ versions. The number of key shots has been polished to 40-50 times, which is close to "perfect" in the iterations of each version.

I have never encountered practical shots of this difficulty level in my career." It is reported that the highest level of film rendering is at the same time with 4000 computers. Work, a single lens crashed 1000+ times at most, causing 12 computers to be damaged and scrapped.

is different from most animation films. The movie "Jiang Ziya" does not pursue the physical reality like daily life, but the psychological reality, trying to bring the audience into Jiang Ziya's special world. For example, some viewers previously expressed doubts about Jiang Ziya’s thick hair. In fact, it was the intention of the production team: Jiang Ziya’s hair was contrary to the traditional "fine hair" and created a "bulking" effect similar to stop motion animation. The "cold" personality and the overall style of the film are unified. In order to reflect the calm character personality, stable geometric elements such as "triangle" have been added to the face, beard, and overall body shape. In addition, the film took 15 months to develop, and the average scene design iteration was 40+ times, and a special system was established. Each character has a corresponding line of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, etc., such as the gold of the heavens and the red of the nine tails. All architectural styles and costumes are under a unified color system. It tries to convince the audience that the world of the gods really exists, and gives a different visual experience.


Blizzard returns to China to "fight" for Chinese animation to help establish the industrialization system


As the director and art director of the movie "Jiang Ziya", Wang Xin has served as the core role of the role director at the top game company Blizzard and has more than 16 years of CG production Experience, production and development of " World of Warcraft ", " Overwatch ", "StarCraft" and other tens of millions of user-level games. This time, returning home to bring the domestic animation team, it is almost a process of restarting from zero to one. Director Wang Xin said, "In Blizzard, it is a process from 1 to 2. In China, we still have a lot of room for improvement, perhaps from 0. To the achievement of 1, but we are also working hard for this."


It can be said that apart from the box office performance, the movie "Jiang Ziya" itself has a deeper meaning:Establish a Hollywood-like animation production process in China to Chineseize foreign creative development experience. During production, the film team established inverted pyramids, spiral iterations, etc., which are different from the traditional working methods, and strive to allow 1600+ people to match and collaborate to create, and gather the inspiration and creativity of everyone, rather than the personal ability of the director or main creator in the past. Just like the slogan in this director's special, "May Chinese animation no longer be a mess of one person, but a group of people going all out." All the systematic and process-oriented attempts during the production of "Jiang Ziya" are expected to leave a little reference for Chinese animation creation in the future and help Chinese animation successfully form its own domestic animation industry in the near future. The


movie "Jiang Ziya" is jointly produced by Beijing Guangguang Films Co., Ltd., Guangguang Caitiaowu Pictures, China Chuan Hedao, and Cocoa Bean. The film is being screened nationwide.
