How to evaluate the animation "Little Door God"?

Only three domestic animated films have been seen in the cinema this year: 100 thousand cold jokes, the return of the Great Sage, and the Little Door God. 100,000 yuan is for the joke of the film, the Great Sage is for word of mouth, and the Little Door God is for the new hope of China animated film.

First of all, Little Door God is definitely a "good-looking" movie. Even if you don't know the original painting and rendering at all, you can intuitively feel how good the film is visually as long as you see the detailed scene and the 3D effect from the curtain. I believe there will be a lot of technical analysis after the film is released. Today I will take a look at the things set in the story of "heaven" and "earth" in the movie.

At first glance, the setting of unemployment in Shenjie seems absurd, but when the whole story is finished, you will feel deja vu. It turns out that this was set according to the "laid-off tide" in the 1990s. People's problems are people's loss and persistence in the changes of the times. From heaven to earth, it is the epitome of China in the past 20 years. But anyone who has experienced this period of time can always find the point that touches him most in the movie. Therefore, although "Little Door God" is an animation, it is by no means a young animation.

In fact, immortals, like people, face sudden changes, most people are either at a loss or resigned, but in general, everyone tends to obey. Lei Yu's image is the destroyer of this era. He doesn't want to sink into the times, hoping to break the lifeless life. But this hindered his vision, and he chose to seek change in the worst way.

Xiaoying in the world, in the development of the city, sticks to the tradition: ancestral old shop, century-old soup, Spring Festival couplets in front of the door, which is so out of place in the rapidly developing China. If the country is regarded as a young man, Lei Yu and Xiaoying just experienced it 20 years ago. In the movie, they met, and after a series of wonderful stories, both sides found a good way to solve the problem. In the exhibition, the rapid development makes us forget many beautiful things we once had. Instead of continuing to run at a high speed, it is better to stop and seriously think about the gains and losses, and perhaps move forward more smoothly.

Under the Internet IP craze, Wang Wei, as an Internet entrepreneur, did exactly the opposite, and spent three years polishing Little Door God, which really surprised me once. The film is not only high in story completion, but also very strict in setting. All kinds of settings in heaven have almost refreshed our understanding of immortals. A solid plot will certainly pave the way for the future development.

In animation and special effects production, smoke, flame and water are difficult to do. I remember when Underwater Animation was released, the underwater effect shocked everyone. Frozen's handling of snowflakes and ice cubes also represents the best technical level. In "Little Door God", water, snow and ice have simply become the director's dazzling skills, which are widely used and very amazing. Therefore, vision is really the highlight of the film.

Of course, Wang Wei's screen debut also has some defects. In my opinion, the most important thing is subtraction.

As a special film form, animated film always thinks that the length of 90 minutes is reasonable, and the story can be more compact on the basis of ensuring the integrity of the story. But considering that the cost of animation is calculated by the number of frames, cutting off those dozens of minutes will hurt everyone! Looking forward to catching up with the next work, it will be more compact and beautiful.

In addition, as an Internet practitioner, Wang Wei has served as CEO, director and screenwriter. I guess this distribution will make movies more personal. So, if Wang Wei can do some subtraction for his identity in the project production, maybe he can see more different things in the movie.
