“Ling Cage” is undoubtedly the most popular domestic sci-fi animated drama series this summer. On the first quarter of July 13, the B station in the line only refreshed the broadcast volume record in just 10 minutes. What’s more, the production of the art of “Ling Cage” is also the joint production and production of the sci-fi animated series “Three-body”. The color of “Ling Cage” can largely reveal the level and height that the animated drama “Three-body” can achieve

The audience, while affirming the level of production, also questioned the character setting and the logic of the plot. For example, why the “human community” in the last days is mostly a Western face. The Beijing News reporter interviewed the producer of the “Ling Cage” and the CEO of Art Painting. Zhai Rui said that “Ling Cage” is a science fiction drama that shows the oriental thoughts. Many of the current unreasonable things are for the rational preparation of the latter. He also revealed that “Ling Cage” has “smashed a lot of pits” for “Three-body”, and many of the mistakes made in “Ling Cage” can be avoided when the “Three-body” is made. The “Three-body” animation will announce the first PV (promotional film sample) as scheduled, and will never skip the ticket

Most characters are looks of Europeans and Americans?

The protagonist’s life experience is gradually revealed.

In Ling Cong, the extreme environment of the last days gave birth to the cold survival rules and the strict class barriers of the “lighthouse” survivors. The “Lighthouse” regularly dispatches a “hunting hunters” combat squad to find supplies from the ruins of the ground in order to guarantee the energy supply needed for survival and the “lighthouse” floating. The male lead Mark is the leader of a “hunting hunter” combat squad. After the “Ling Cage” was launched, the audience generally recognized its production level. The doubts mainly focused on two aspects: character setting and plot logic

Some viewers questioned why a national story about the doomsday world, most of the roles are European and American appearances? Although the male protagonist Mark is a mixed-race, the appearance is also completely European and American. Zhai Rui said that in the “Ling Cage”, the time from the end of the disaster was very long. The boundaries of the people in the “Lighthouse” have become blurred, but not all of them are Westerners. The “Hunter” team has Orientals, top-level One of the three commanders is also an Oriental. The appearance of the male lead Mark is related to his life. “His father is Chinese and his mother is a Westerner. I have a friend in real life, and I look especially like Mark. In fact, it is a Chinese with 1/8 Slovenian descent. Mark’s life will start later and have special significance. As the plot unfolds, the reasons for this setting will gradually be revealed. Only such unreasonable circumstances will give birth to the rationality behind. I believe that when the first season ends, the audience will understand why this is set up and arranged.”

There are also viewers who questioned that Mark’s “Fishing Hunter” combat squad claims to have the most experience, but he is as flustered as a novice when facing the spine. Zhai Rui explained that the most important purpose of the hunters is to bring back materials, and their understanding of the doomsday ecology is extremely limited. “The barrage is a double-edged sword. Maybe 10,000 people didn’t feel that there was a problem. One person found out. Everyone felt that there was a problem when the barrage was heard. But if it is a problem that we think is really there, we will pay attention to it in the creation. Try to be more rigorous in the following episodes.”

Perspectives on science fiction theme country.

Need to learn also needs to remain original

The science fiction theme is one of the most demanding standards for production and industry. Not only domestic film and television dramas are less touched, but domestic animation companies are also more illusory and less sci-fi

In the view of Zhai Rui, “A Hollywood movie can be used to co-ordinate more than 20,000 creators of studios around the world to achieve standard unification, but China’s film and television industry has thousands of people all over the world. What is missing is the process of industrial management, the development of standards, and the backbone of talents…” But learning is not a complete copy, and it is equally important to retain its own originality. Take Rui’s sci-fi animation “Love, Death, Robot” as an example. He thinks that the drama has a good idea in the grand world view and concept setting, but the core of Western individualism is not suitable for China. “The “Cage” explores whether human beings choose to live or to live with ideals under the pressure of great survival. Its expression is different from that of traditional Western science fiction. We want to be a science fiction drama that shows oriental thought.”

Analyze the animation of “Three-body”.

“Ling Cage” has a lot of pits for “Three-body”.

Compared with “Ling Cage”, the next project of art painting is more concerned – Liu Cixin won the animated drama of the same name adapted from the Hugo Award novel “Three-body”. The film and television process of “Three-body” has been twisted and twisted. The film version is far from perfect, and the stage plays are mixed. The book fans have high hopes for the animated version. The author Liu Cixin hopes that the “Three-body” animation can accurately express his imagination as the original author. “It is best to let me see and feel a breath.”

阮瑞 revealed that when the “Three-body” animation project was found, he was both excited and cautious. “The team spent six months thinking about and discussing, and internally made a version of the concept PV to confirm some ideas, to see if color, design, picture, music are all together, is that taste.”

阮瑞 said that “Ling Cage” has helped a lot of pits for the “Three-body”, but the styles of the two are not necessarily similar. “The sci-fi animation production process and the pits in the production standard, “Ling Cage” smashed a lot. This kind of mistake was once made, “Tri-body” will not be made again when it is produced, such as how the story structure is optimized during the script creation process. How the fate of the characters reveals more reasonable, etc. Most importantly, through the production of “Ling Cage”, we have found a balance point for making such high-quality 3D animated dramas. However, the visual styles of the two dramas may not be similar, “Three-body” The style of art, the team is still discussing.” The balance point that Rui said refers to how to present the best quality balance within the established investment and time horizon

On June 26 this year, when it was announced that he took over the animation of “Three-body”, the art painting had given a deadline, and after 144 days (mid-November), the first PV of the “Three-body” animation was announced. Zhai Rui revealed that the current “three-body” animation is still in the preparatory stage of the script. The “big screenwriter” with animated scriptwriters and film and television dramas is involved. The first PV will be announced as scheduled, and will never be skipped
