There are certain works, you will feel the unique atmosphere when you go to the first sight, and understand who comes from the handwriting. The representative figure is the Chuanshan Shanzhao
In 1987, “The Beast City” and the “Beast Warrior Nirvana Sticker” in 1993 accumulated a good reputation in the industry for Kawasaki Sasaki, and also gave Sichuan and Chongqing an opportunity to show their talents
Even a veteran fan can hardly use a vocabulary to describe Sichuan and Chongqing, gorgeous, simple, restrained, violent… seemingly completely different characteristics, contradictions and self-consistent unity in a person, this strange The psychedelic sensation penetrated into his work and constructed a universe that belongs to him alone
And the most vivid thing about this is the “Vampire Hunter D” of the millennium
“Vampire Hunter D” is adapted from the famous manuscript scriptwriter Judi Xiu Xing’s 1983 work of the same name, probably because of being a friend of Chuanxiong, the plot of the words in the works of Judi is full of different colors, which is also adapted by Chuanxiong. The animation works provided an excellent interpretation space, so we saw that the cool and gorgeous protagonist D in the works was meticulously presented
The storyline has almost nothing to change with the original: Aristocratic Charlotte has fallen in love with the vampire Mael. The two taboos were found to be elopement, and D and another pair of vampire hunters were hired by the nobles. To save, but on the way they found that Maer and Charlotte, who had been living together in a paradise, were actually deceived by Mrs. Camilla, the vampire, and Camilla would use their lives to resurrect themselves, so D would follow Camilla launched a big fight
The beauty of the animation is not in the simple and almost stereotypical plot, but in the overall environmental treatment and atmosphere of Chuanxiong Shanzhao. He is a person who pursues extreme beauty, so the treatment of the picture seems to be glitz to the extreme. The castle, the deep forest, the sky, the desert, and even the turbulence of the turbulence and the ups and downs of the mountains are so smooth. Appreciating this work, from a certain point of view, can even be completely identified as a work of art. Of course, this is also the style of Sichuan and Chongqing. Regardless of the plot, the overall style and aesthetic structure are absolutely high
Of course, this is just an ordinary work. Chuanxiong also has its own unique features in the segmentation and editing of animation. In this work based on action and fighting, each lens is sharp. With a visual impact, the conversion of each frame is full of shock. Especially when focusing on the battle between D and the enemy, Chuanxiong’s usual short-shot multi-editing takes all the rhythm and viewing experience into consideration, and the swaying and collision of the picture suddenly turn around and turn around. Can be called perfect
Most importantly, outside of technology, the deep meaning of this work has been reorganized and bloomed. The character of the character, although simple but not lost personality, D’s arrogance and cold, the decisive independence of the heroine Layla, the love between Mael and Charlotte is vividly reflected. The tone of the end of the work, in the atmosphere of conflict between characters and the environment, looming but vivid, can be displayed in front of the audience with the most profound expression
Chuanxiong’s personal style is clearly nested in “Vampire Hunter D”. The beauty of the world is just performance, and warmth and goodwill only last for a moment. In the end, everything will be integrated into the endless cold. The warmth of the whole work and the chilly sadness of the whole work are the proof of his purpose. The description of beauty is even better than the plot itself, but even so, it does not lose the excitement of the work itself. This is the style of this “Vampire Hunter D”, which is also an unconventional portrayal of Kawasaki Shinzo
Of course, between the real and the illusory, the definition of Chuanxiong Shanzhao is vague, but from another angle, the world we cannot perceive, perhaps to a certain extent, really relies on the existence and spread of this vagueness. This ambiguous beauty began to fade away in the animation world, and in the era of seeking realism, I will go back to see this millennial “Vampire Hunter D”, can you read a different texture from it?
