This summer, countless people rushed into the cinema with their teeth, dark circles, and Qi Liu’s little sister
In addition to the well-characterized characters and the storyline with strong sense of substitution, the special effects scenes in “Where the Devil’s Angels Come into the World” (hereinafter referred to as “Where”) are also numerous. Among them, the most famous “Jiangshan Society’s four people in the map”, whether it is fighting in the clouds, humorous details, or rich facial expressions, can fully compete with Hollywood standards
However, this is just a few minutes of the scene, the sketch is just a sketch, the production team is “dead” for 2 months, which takes 4 months. The director said: “A lot of the team is screaming at the heart, want to prove the domestic animation, want to make the animator more proud, so I would rather lose money and join our project.”
“China” animator behind the scenes.
After two years of script polishing, three-year production, 66 manuscript scripts, more than 60 production teams, more than 1600 production staff, accounting for more than 1400 special effects shots of 80% of the film, invited more than 20 special effects teams in the country to complete the production.When the industrialization of Chinese animated films is not yet mature, the success of “Where” is indeed to thank too many Chinese animators who “will rather lose money” and insist on quality
“Although the previous “White Snake” and “The Return of the Great Stories” are also very good, but “Where” from the previous preparations, including settings, scripts, storyboards, etc. are more professional and mature than before. Even some The key special effects lens has reached the international level. For example, the lotus special effect of the flooded Chentang Guanzhong is very shocking.” Hong Bo, who participated in the animation production of “Where”, said
As the top animator in China, Hong Bo has served as an animator of many well-known international films such as “How to Train Your Dragon”, “Dolls” and “Ninja Turtles”. However, when talking about “Where” It is difficult to hide pride in the tone
“There is a ‘small circle’ in our industry, which is a late-stage master with international level. We all hope to show the technology we have learned over the years in Chinese animated films. From this point of view, “Where” not only gave the whole industry a chance to refresh the understanding of Chinese animated films, but also gave us these animators, a chance to express their feelings.”
Is “revival” rather than “rise”.
“吒吒” became popular, once slogan “the rise of the country”. However, in the minds of many Chinese animators, this is not a “rise” but a revival, a glory moment for the return of the king
As early as 1941, the animated film “The Princess of Iron Fan” by the Wan Brothers, with its rich Chinese painting skills and sophisticated production, has already pushed Chinese animated films to the commanding heights of the world art scene. Even the Japanese manga’s god, Tezuka Osamu, was influenced by this work before embarking on the road of comics
Iron Fan Princess (1941).
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the “Heavenly Palace” has won numerous awards in the world. It can be said that the Chinese animated films at this stage are not inferior to the United States and Japan. Later, with the changes in the market economy and the emergence of new technologies, Chinese animated films began to decline. A large part of this is related to the talent gap
大闹天宫(1961)
Domestic animation talent online education institution miracle Mante founder Wang Bo recalled that in 2003 he was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy animation major, there are dozens of professional colleges in China. However, by the time he graduated, Fudan University, Tongji and other colleges and universities had an animation major. This directly leads to problems such as the lack of teachers and the uneven level of graduates
Therefore, for a long time, there was almost no high-quality work in Chinese animated films, and it turned to a period of “OEM” for foreign projects. However, it was during this period that Chinese animators were given the opportunity to learn advanced film and television technology from abroad, and trained a group of advanced film and television special effects talents with international standards
And most of them, in addition to being a big bull in the industry, their other identity is “teacher.” For example, Miracle Manter’s current lecturers are all professionals with international-level projects, and all work in well-known film and television special effects companies such as Base FX and Daqian Sunshine. Hong Bo is one of them
In addition to Hong Bo, Miracle Mante, another teacher who participated in the production of “Where”, was once the animation leader of “The Return of the Great”
Zhang Jintong.
The two teachers, with 6 students, not only participated in the production of “Where”, but also witnessed another glory of Chinese animated films, which is rare in the entire animation talent online education industry. Zhang Jintong also deeply felt this: “Teach us the younger generation. This may be a kind of inheritance! Chinese animators have been completing a relay race. Although we are very tired, we all believe in victory. Just ahead.”
The Chinese animation industry is really “lack of people”.
From the “Return of the Great St.” in 2015, the signal of the return of the Chinese animated film king was released, to the “Big Fish Sea Bream” in 2016, the “Da Hu Law” in 2017, the “Big World” in 2018, 2019 “White Snake: Origin”, and now the explosion of “Where”, the quality of domestically produced animated films almost every year
However, behind a good industry, it is exposed to the problem of “talent shortage”. Relevant statistics show that the scale of China’s animation industry was 87.6 billion yuan in 2013 and 150 billion yuan in 2017. It is expected to reach 210 billion yuan in 2020. In sharp contrast, by 2018, there are less than 50,000 animation talents in China’s core R&D department, and the animation talent gap is as high as 1 million
Therefore, in recent years, in addition to college training, educational institutions with high-quality faculty and platforms like Miracle Mante have become the choice of more and more practitioners to improve their competitiveness
It is understood that “Football Demon 2”, “Small Door God”, “Grand St. Return”, “White Snake: Origin” and many other excellent film and television works, there are miraculous Mante students involved in the production. As the miracle Manter founder Wang Bo once said, the revival of Chinese animated films requires the integration of more industry resources and the cultivation of more creative high-end animation talents
“Where is the win-win situation between box office and word of mouth, the future of Chinese animated films is also true
