Lion boy: The town boy who left his hometown bravely pursued his dreams, and the lion's leap touched the audience.

The film "Lion Boy" was officially released, which is a domestic animation work.

The main story line of this film is relatively simple. This paper mainly tells the story of three teenagers, A Juan, A Mao and A Gou, in a small town in Guangdong, who wanted to take part in the lion dance competition, then went to find a master, was trained by the master, took part in the preliminary round, went to Guangzhou to participate in the semi-finals, and finally won the championship.

In a word, this is a story of a teenager chasing dreams.

The biggest heroes of this film are obviously the director and screenwriter.

Director Sun Haipeng, born in 1979, graduated from Hubei Academy of Fine Arts. His work "Stewed Hero of Food Adventure" won the best feature film (nomination) in the long animation unit of the 29th Anxi International Animation Festival in 20 19.

The screenwriter is Rizelin, born after 90. There are many works, and the 20 17 work "The Sky of Mad Dogs" was shortlisted for the 20 17 Flintstone Literature Award.

It should be said that both of them are quite powerful creators.

In recent years, there have been many excellent domestic animation works, but few of them focus on modern teenagers, mainly focusing on traditional Chinese mythological figures, such as the Monkey King in Journey to the West, Jiang Ziya and Nezha in the list of gods.

According to the news, the film "The Sphinx" lasted for 24 months from the project establishment to the release, which can be described as extremely efficient. It is said that the founder has been to Lingnan area of Guangdong many times.

The opening of the film gave people a surprise. When did domestic animation reach such a level?

You know, in the past, the world was basically fictional in the animation with mythical themes, so the sense of detail in the whole world was relatively insufficient.

At the beginning of the film, the lion dance scene in the town is introduced by the protagonist riding a bicycle and taking the audience all the way. Along the way, the flavor of Lingnan Town suddenly appeared in front of the audience.

This reality is full of all kinds of details, without which, the audience will not feel immersive.

In the process of this introduction, many pictures may not even have a second, but just flash by, but nevertheless, every picture can see that the creative efforts are in it.

In the pond where I rode my bike, the green inside was definitely not simply copied and pasted, but was different everywhere. The water reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and the flavor of Lingnan Town is unforgettable.

On the big screen of the cinema, all these details can be displayed more deeply in front of your eyes and bring you more visual feelings.

Let's analyze the highlights of this film from four aspects: character design, life details, lion head details and scene scheduling.

1, character design

In the role design, the role design of these films is quite successful, because this film is not a fictional film, but a realistic style animation.

The design of the whole protagonist in the opening stage has a strong Stephen Chow film style, including the design and introduction of three teenagers. The protagonist is a steamed stuffed bun, which is particularly easy to associate with a role in Stephen Chow's movies.

At the same time, there are salted fish bosses and proprietresses, which are also designed to be very close to the shapes of local characters, and look like the chartered women and chartered women in the Stephen Chow movie Kung Fu.

For these characters, the audience in Lingnan area should be very friendly.

Of course, the protagonist A Juan walked out of her own personality style in the later period. When he faced the burden of life and was under unbearable pressure at this age, his personality style became more and more distinct.

In the film, the creator used a lion solo dance before dawn to enhance the characters' personalities, and with the sunrise in Guangzhou, the characters' images rose to a new height.

2. Details of life

In the movie, A Juan, a teenager, had to pack up and go to Guangzhou to earn money in order to make money for her family. When the town got on the bus, the teenager A Juan was carrying a cowboy backpack full of things and a red and white woven bag commonly used by migrant workers.

I think too many people are too familiar with this scene.

In the early years, many people left home just to earn money to support their families. They wear the same clothes, and the same cowboy backpack bears all the daily necessities. They work hard just to bring a happy life to their families.

I believe that if you have the same experience and see this place, you will burst into tears.

3, lion head details

At the beginning of the lion dance duel, the lion dance head carried by the girl made a stunning appearance with solid details and excellent picture quality.

In the next few lion dance competitions, each lion head has its own characteristics, which is really worth watching slowly in the future.

4. Scene scheduling

The duration of this film is 104 minutes, and the whole story is very smooth, without obvious logical loopholes that make people ponder.

The main scenes are from small town lion dance and small town learning to Guangzhou Life Lion Dance Competition. Scene scheduling is very smooth, and many places use different perspectives to express the situation of the characters.

For example, looking out from the lion's head gives people an incomprehensible sense of presence.

A Juan went to Guangzhou to work and asked where other workers lived. Others replied that there was one in the lower berth. It turns out that the "lower berth" is under the bed of the lower berth, and the movie gives the protagonist A Juan a figure curled up from the couch.

This picture can't help but remind people of a famous song: the lyrics in "Ten Years of Love Stories in Guangdong" sung by Guangzhou Rain God, "People have been wandering in Guangdong for ten years". Yes, how many people work in big cities and wander for a living, and the shadow of a generation is hidden in this curled back.

One aspect that this movie has to say is the soundtrack, because the soundtrack is so wonderful.

What makes people remember deeply is "Hello on Earth" in the 83rd edition of Legend of the Condor Heroes, which really matches the movie screen. Of course, there is a reason why animated pictures can be matched according to the lyrics, but we can also see that the creator's hard work not only developed the plot, but also satisfied his love for Hong Kong music.

Many people will impose their favorite music or expressions on the audience, but this aspect is handled quite well in this film.

The other is "Don't bully the poor" by Jiulian real person. With A Juan's work and life in Guangzhou, we see ordinary people, such as construction workers, deliverymen, couriers and porters. They are not only working hard, but sometimes they are looked down upon and squeezed.

At the end of the movie, there is a song called "Nobody", which is difficult for Mao to sing. When the eggs are over and the actors begin to appear, the audience may be ready to leave. At this time, Mao's difficult songs sounded and people had to listen carefully in their seats.

It's hard for Mao to say, "I'm lucky to sing for the movie The Lion King. This winter, I'd like to propose a toast to all those who leave home, those who walk in front and those who are unknown. As long as the drums can still ring in our hearts, we are lions. "

I believe that after watching the movie, this song "Nobody" will impress you deeply.

Generally speaking, the creative team of this film has made great efforts. In less than two years, I think it is excellent to hand over such an animated film.

The biggest feature of this film is that it is different from the previous interpretation of domestic cartoons based on myths and legends, and it is also different from the Japanese surrealist animation form. Instead, it adopts a little Stephen Chow and Hongkong film style in exploration, plus realistic scenes and character design, based on reality. However, in the final competition, the fantasy color of the film was added, which made A Juan take a leap, which was not only a leap of the characters in the film, but also a leap of the lion. Metaphor is a leap for all ordinary people who work hard for a happy life. At the same time, the image of the lion also symbolizes the leap made by the motherland after so many years of hard struggle.

This leap sublimated the theme of the film. As long as the drums are still ringing in our hearts, we are lions.
