"Jiang Ziya" Exposes "Farewell to Four" Posters, Box Office Breaks 1.5 Billion

The "Four Not Saying Goodbye" posters of "Ginger Ziya"

1905. And with a box office record of 360 million on the first day and 1.034 billion in the first week, it set a new box office record for the first day and first week of movie history animation films.

Recently, the film released the "Four Not Farewell" posters. In the film, the ending of the death of the four not due to the fight against Nine Tails drew many tears from the audience. The impersonal "Yan Yi" expressions of Xiao Si are all performed by the character designer himself, and then painted. In order to make the "cute pet" close-up shots full of detail, some of its hair is purely hand-painted and adjusted. The production staff of

crashed repeatedly when facing the huge amount of hair, and joked that "I want to make it not bald, but I can only paint it bald." It is reported that during the four-year production period, the "Jiang Ziya" team especially tried a new production process, trying to gather the creativity of 1600+ production staff. And I look forward to leaving a little reference for Chinese animation creation in the future, and helping Chinese animation gradually form its own industrial system. As stated in the previous announcement: I hope Chinese animation is no longer a single person’s smashing, but a group of people going all out.

z23 New story". It is not difficult to see from the poster of the "Four Nots Farewell" version released this time that the Four Nots is not only Jiang Ziya's mount, but also a companion who accompanies and guards Jiang Ziya, making people cry. One is to give up supernatural power for Jiang Ziya. In the film, the four involuntarily followed Jiang Ziya and were demoted to Beihai. As his supernatural power faded, his size became smaller and became a "cute pet"; second, he gave up his life for Jiang Ziya.

Originally a minor fourth who had little power left, he did not hesitate to exhaust all his power to transform into a senior, and fight Nine Tails desperately. The fairy friendship between Sibuxiang and Jiang Ziya to guard and accompany each other has made many viewers express "uncontrollable tears" and "want to raise a same Sibuxiang". Director Cheng Teng added that the Four Differences are an externalization of Jiang Ziya’s character, and the person who understands him best, "Jiang Ziya is a cool uncle. When he is angry or upset, he is usually divided by the Four Differences. To make this expression" is quite interesting.

From the tall and burly Jiang Ziya mount in traditional literature to the bold adaptation of "cute pet" nowadays, the recognition obtained by the four inseparables is inseparable from the hard work of the production team. In terms of image, because the small four are not characterized by soft cuteness and cuteness, the traditional elk’s body structure is difficult to do too much movement, so I tried more than a dozen animals such as cats, dogs, rabbits, and finally chose ferrets as the basis. The rest of the edition has been revised, and it has the image of the four different ones. In the details of

, the four phases take the form of a combination of three-dimensional and hand-painted. Part of the hair is purely hand-painted. Even close-up shots are full of details. It is reported that the four different sleep actions in the film cannot be completed due to the high model requirements. The production team adjusted 10 different versions before and after, and it took a full 3 months to achieve the high standards in mind.

The spirit of the national comics is passed down. In its own way, different "sparks" are ignited.

. TOP3. As the second part of the "Chinese Mythology Series" by Guangxi Caitiaowu Pictures, the film tries to ignite the different "sparks" of domestic animation in its own way: in the film, it is different from the passionate heart of the young man and Nezha. Through the battle of beliefs of the "middle-aged" Jiang Ziya, a Chinese hero like an ordinary person was created. In addition to the film, unlike the traditional director-centric creative model, the "Jiang Ziya" team has established new productions such as the "inverted pyramid" Process, trying to effectively integrate the creative power of 1600+ producers. During the production of

, all attempts to systematize and process the film are expected to leave a little reference for the future creation of Chinese animation and help Chinese animation gradually form its own industrial system. It can be said that from the "Three Major" series "The Return of the Great Sage", "The Big Fish and Begonia" and "The Great Protector", to the "Nezha's Devil Child Comes into the World" and "Jiang Ziya" in the Caitiaowu "Chinese Mythology Series", Chinese animation I have been advancing on the road, hoping to bring the diversity of animation film types to Chinese audiences with their own different styles and methods.
