Old people say "the rise of China animation and so on", so is it really a rise?

In recent years, we have seen the rise of domestic animation, but compared with Japanese animation, China animation is more like a "pediatrician". This is not a derogatory term, because in the eyes of China's production companies, it seems that animation is for some children, but they don't know that Japanese animation is mostly "adult" works.

In fact, an ancient animation like "Huluwa" may not be appreciated when we were young, but these classic domestic animations still inherit the characteristics of our country in terms of production and connotation, and have indeed influenced generations of teenagers. However, with the rapid development of animation industry today, the audience is very concerned about painting style, plot, production techniques and so on. How to bring domestic animation to a new height has become the biggest problem.

The upsurge brought by the bright moon in Qin dynasty

In 2007, there was a work that caused a sensation in the domestic animation industry, that is, the bright moon in Qin Dynasty. This animation can be said to have changed the consistent line of domestic animation and is the product of learning foreign works. Animation is inspired by Wen's novels. It is most appropriate to adapt the novel into animation. With the ready-made plot structure and portrayed characters, animation can be made more efficiently. I chose this novel because it not only has a complete background, but also relates to the historical plot of China. The story begins with Qin Shihuang's annexation of six countries, and this period of history is also the most brilliant.

In fact, we have great advantages in the plot to express the characteristics of China's animation. After all, it has a long history, but how to make good use of this advantage requires more experience, just as our martial arts films are already very skilled and have been recognized internationally. After Qin Le was broadcast, it also won many awards. From the plot and characters, it is already a big leap in domestic animation, but the dubbing is not mature enough, and it has a bit of a speech atmosphere. On the other hand, in Japan, seiyuu is an important factor to realize the role, which is also the reason why Japanese animation can always break the dimensional wall. However, the appearance of "Bright Moon in Qin Dynasty" also illustrates the changes of domestic animation.

The pioneer of the domestic adult animation "Painting Rivers and Lakes"

Why is the "Painting Jianghu" series an adult animation? Because the plot of "Painting Jianghu" has matured a lot at present, there can be love between characters, and it can also reflect the sinister and scary pictures of Jianghu in the plot. These are all scenes that domestic animation refused to appear in those years, and "Painting Rivers and Lakes" opened a precedent. If Qin Shi Yue Ming is a presentation of a whole period of history, then Painting Jianghu is a collection of short stories like Liaozhai, which really sees the subtleties of Jianghu.

In particular, "Painting Jianghu Bad Men" is deeply loved by domestic audiences, at least it is vivid in characterization, which may be the difference between it and "Bright Moon in Qin Dynasty".

Cooperate first and then rise?

Recently, there is a new movie in China called "Once upon a time there was a mountain with a sword", which is different from the previous domestic animation in terms of character design, painting style and plot, and even some Japanese cartoons can be seen. Yes, there used to be a mountain with a sword, which was the product of Sino-Japanese cooperation. This work tells the story of the long-standing "Lingjian School" who decided to reopen the entrance examination for selecting students in order to find the children chosen by fate who came with the comet. As a god-given hero, Wang Lu has an "ethereal root" that comes once in a thousand years. Lu Wang challenged the entrance examination of "Lingjian School" and started his unique road of cultivating immortals.

Although it is the product of cooperation, this way can also help Guo Man get out of the predicament, absorb the experience of other countries, innovate and maintain its own characteristics. Once upon a time there was a mountain with a sword, which had such potential. For example, one thing that can't be ignored in Riman is OP, not to mention the quality of traditional opera. Most of them have several excellent OPs, because music is also an important element to highlight the picture and plot. The music of Once upon a time there was a mountain with a sword was excellent. I believe that friends who have seen animation should have a deep impression on its OP, which is a very important change.

Of course, domestic animation has indeed shown signs of rising recently, and many excellent works are emerging. Besides Xiao Mushi's introduction in this article, Brother Corpse, 100,000 Cold Jokes and Xia Lan are all excellent works in domestic animation. Maybe they are not enough to compete with Japanese and American animation, but they must have made a great breakthrough with the domestic animation in the past. Finally, we should look forward to the future of domestic animation!
