"Luo Xiaohei's War" is very unfair. It could have beaten "Nezha", but it failed because it couldn't take advantage of it.

Like humans and monsters, it is difficult to define good and bad.

Good or bad is not absolute in the eyes of different people.

——"Luo Xiaohei's War"

In October, "Nezha" and "Luo Xiaohei's War" were launched online one after another, allowing us to see domestic animation huge progress.

2019 is the year of the explosion of Chinese animated films. Although "White Snake: Origin" at the beginning of the year did not make a big splash, it received high praise for its exquisite pictures and delicate emotions. It is currently 7.9 on Douban Well deserved.

Then "Nezha", released in July, created the box office myth of animated movies, ranking second in the box office of Chinese movies, and went abroad, and also attracted a certain amount of attention in the United States.

Compared with the bright halo of "Nezha", the box office of "Luo Xiaohei Zhan Ji", which originated from Douban's high-scoring drama, has eclipsed a lot, but the box office does not mean anything. Think about "Catch" The box office of "Monster" is just a number.

However, why are the two domestic animations that both start with the character "8" on Douban so different at the box office?

I think "Luo Xiaohei's War" lost unfairly, while "Nezha" won by taking advantage of the situation.

The popularity of the story background varies greatly

"Nezha" is based on a well-known myth and legend. The popularity of "The Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" has made everyone aware of Nezha. Have a broad understanding.

Previous animated series and movies such as "Nezha Makes the Sea" have laid a good mass foundation for the popularity of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".

And who is Luo Xiaohei? Most viewers may not know it before the movie is released. Even if they have seen the related peripherals, they may not know that Luo Xiaohei is the cute cat.

Judging from the popularity of the protagonist, "Luo Xiaohei's War" did lose too much, and the huge box office gap is understandable.

There is a big difference in the degree of likability

When you go to the cinema to watch a movie, especially animated movies, adults basically take their children to watch them, and it is about family fun.

"Nezha" captures this feature very well. Whether it is the character design or the fat fairy in Sichuan dialect, there are obvious traces of likability.

Not to mention that "Nezha" is full of Internet jokes that deliberately cater to the public's taste, including tacky shit jokes. They are simple and straightforward, with a direct and clear purpose, which is to make you laugh.

"Luo Xiaohei's War" is different. It is also constantly funny, but it takes a literary and elegant route, making people smile but not making the public roar. In addition, the environmental theme will make the audience feel a little heavy, and the family-friendly effect will definitely be greatly inferior, and the box office will naturally be very different.

So, is the quality of the film "Luo Xiaohei Zhan Ji", whose box office is only one-tenth of "Nezha", worse?

On the contrary, box office aside, "Luo Xiaohei's War" is really worth watching.

The pattern of "Luo Xiaohei's War" is even bigger

The old-fashioned chicken soup of "good and evil cannot coexist" and "I can't help but control my fate" actually sounds silly. It's stomach-churning.

While "Nezha" is busy with intrigues and the battle between good and evil, "Luo Xiaohei" is talking about the harmonious existence of monsters and humans.

In "Nezha", humans are just useless props, but in "Luo Xiaohei's War", the strongest executor in the demon spirit guild hall is a human infinite.

It is also a system construction of gods, fairies, and humans. "Nezha" emphasizes opposition, while "Luo Xiaohei" emphasizes integration.

In the world of "Luo Xiaohei", gods, demons and humans are just names, and they are essentially from the same source.

Human beings infinitely became the master of the cat demon Luo Xiaohei. Their metal attributes are consistent with the attributes of space. A human established a correct world view for a demon, which ultimately enabled him to save the world.

In the woven world of "Luo Xiaohei", there is no black or white.

Although it is wrong for humans to over-exploit and develop rapidly, there are also unavoidable difficulties. Development will inevitably bring destruction. This is an inevitable path.

Just like the trolls, the Demon Spirit Guild gave him a special hunting license to hunt humans, because they must feed on humans or they will become extinct. However, the prerequisite for hunting and killing is that the person has committed the most serious crime, and it must be approved by the guild hall.

The trolls are a race that humans and other monsters hate, but they are not abandoned in the world of "Luo Xiaohei". Every creature has the right to survive.

The Goblin Hall is a magical place. It was jointly built by three gods including Taishang Laojun, but there are goblins and humans living in it. The job of the executor is to protect the coexistence of humans and goblins. world peace.

In fact, the Demon Spirit Guild Hall is the ideal world conveyed to us by "Luo Xiaohei", where all things are integrated, rewards and punishments are regulated, distribution is based on needs, and there is no difference in class.

"Luo Xiaohei's War" has more depth

The core of comedy is tragedy.

"Luo Xiaohei's War Records" understands this well.

Feng Xi is an important character in the movie. He is full of contradictions, and it is impossible to judge simple good guys and bad guys.

Feng Xi is a poor man, and his life is a tragedy.

His childhood dream was awakened by the roar of the excavator, and the home he depended on was gradually destroyed.

With no other choice, he became an extremist who endangered the harmonious existence of humans and fairies. He became the target of law enforcement and wandered around.

In fact, from the perspective of a goblin, he had no fault at all.

Infinite and Luo Xiaohei once had a conversation beside a campfire in the wild.

At that time, the wind breath was really not bad, and Infinite knew this.

When he rescued Luo Xiaohei, he might have coveted Luo Xiaohei's "territory", but at that time he might not have wanted to take it for himself.

However, all developments were out of his control, and his inner beliefs were shaken.

When he used the plunder skill from Wind Breath to seize the attributes and abilities of the first one of its kind, he changed.

When he launched the domain at the expense of Luo Xiaohei's life, his paranoia had made him obsessed.

In order to build a beautiful home for his kind, he sacrificed the life of the goblin. Hatred has blinded him, and he embarked on a road of no return.

When the last breath of wind turns into a giant tree covering the sky in the pile of reinforced concrete, the tragedy of the film reaches its peak.

Looking at the incongruous tower cranes and towering trees, the film gives two views.

Maybe it will become a park.

The film draws a hopeful dot on this tragedy. Although there is a long way to go, the direction cannot be changed.

At this time, the film asks again, is Feng Xi a bad person?

Everyone has their own answer, right?

"Luo Xiaohei Zhan Ji" is really a domestic animation film worth calming down and savoring carefully. The delicate Chinese style pictures make people feel like a spring breeze, the grand layout and the world view promoted. and values ??are thought-provoking.

In addition to watching Luo Xiaohei's big movie, the TV version of "Luo Xiaohei's War" is also highly recommended. Douban scored 9.6 points, which is quite scary.

The mythical beasts listen, Xuanli appears in turn, and the interesting world where humans and monsters are difficult to distinguish brings the cuteness to the extreme.

Look at this wonderful conversation, what are you waiting for? In Luo Xiaohei’s world, I’m waiting for you!
