Chapter 397 A Subversive Animated Film!

Changan Animation, Lin Qiu and Lao Zei’s past reputation accumulation made the animated film "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World", even though it encountered doubts from countless fans, the pre-sale box office alone still broke through 300 million.

Although this result is not as good as the films during the Spring Festival, it is enough for the film to have so many fans supporting Changan Animation and willing to go to the cinema to see Changan Animation's attempt at animated films.

Lin Qiu has absolute confidence that this animated film shrouded in fog will bring surprises to all Xiazhou fans!

Fans are not fools. Even if Lao Zei and Lin Qiu are very popular in the past, they need to spend real money to support them in the cinema, and there will always be fans who are more cautious.

The current Changan Film and Television Company is completely different from what it was five years ago.

The promotional posters of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" are all over the subway stations, bus stations, and many shopping malls in major cities. It can be said that a lot of effort has been put into publicity.

After all, we must first ensure that the audience enters the cinema before we can retain the audience.

…

Yuan Xi.

A super fan of Changan Animation.

Since "Anohana", Yuan Xi has been following every anime work of Changan.

So this time, when Changan Animation launched this anime movie, Yuan Xi bought the movie ticket to support Lao Zei and Lin Qiu.

For this new animation movie that Changan is trying, Yuan Xi has always maintained a wait-and-see attitude. On the one hand, he believes in the artistic attainments and aesthetics of Lao Zei and Lin Qiu, and on the other hand, he also has some doubts about this form.

Because the rhythm of animated movies is completely different from that of anime, if it is produced completely according to the rhythm of anime, it will be a complete failure.

Another point is that Lao Zei and Changan have never produced this kind of Xiazhou local style animation!

You know, whether it is "Anohana", "Your Lie in April" or "Demon Slayer", or the upcoming "Attack on Titan", they are all Yingzhou style animation works.

Since Lao Zei's Xiazhou martial arts trilogy became popular in Jiuzhou, no one would doubt whether Lao Zei can create Xiazhou-style animation works, but after all, trust is trust, and seeing is believing.

Because Lin Qiu was shooting a new film in Mizhou this time and couldn't get back immediately, so about this "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World", at least so far, the fans who watched the premiere have not received any information.

When Yuan Xi was queuing up to check the ticket to enter the venue, he was surrounded by Lao Zei and Lin Qiu's die-hard fans.

"I don't know how awesome the animated film Changan has made is. The picture production is definitely not a problem, and the plot is not a problem either."

"That's all right, isn't it another masterpiece?"

"Hahahaha, but the quality of Lao Zei's original work is definitely guaranteed. With Changan's size, will it make a bad movie? Don't worry."

...

The fans' trust in Changan Film and Television Company has reached an unprecedented height.

Changan's production is equal to quality assurance!

As the crowd entered the Imax hall of the cinema, Yuan Xi's blood could not be restrained.

Compared with regular movies, Yuan Xi still prefers the form of animation. It has been a while since the third season of "Demon Slayer" ended, and "Attack on Titan" has not yet been broadcast. A group of animation fans like him are eager and eager to appreciate the new works of Changan Animation.

As more and more fans walked into the cinema, countless eyes focused on this work at the same time.

This is a very rare work that Lao Zei and Lin Qiu are still questioned at this stage.

Animated movies, Nezha modeling...

One challenge after another was placed in front of Changan Film and Television Company.

In the entire entertainment industry, there are many people who hope that Changan Film and Television Company will fail once.

If not, the public opinion about the ugly modeling of Nezha would be so terrifying!

But correspondingly, public opinion brings heat.

All these things will be answered in the movie. If the animated film "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" can give fans a satisfactory answer, then these overwhelming public opinions and doubts will be like a gasoline barrel exploding, completely pushing the popularity of this movie to the highest peak!

Among these fans, there are many die-hard fans of Lin Qiu and Lao Zei!

They firmly believe that these two people will not risk a bad reputation and come up with works that fool the audience.

…

Because the movie poster of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" says that it is a "family-friendly" work, many fans of Lao Zei come to support it with their families.

In the theater where Yuan Xi is, there are a few naughty children who are a little noisy, but when the lights in the theater dim, the parents of these naughty children quickly let the children quiet down.

If you look closely at the age of the audience in the theater, you can find a very interesting phenomenon.

From fifty to five years old, there are people who are very popular with "Nezha".

The lights in the theater dimmed completely, and as the logos of Changan Animation and many production companies flashed one after another, the movie finally officially began.

"Huh!"

In the theater, more than 200 viewers were full of expectations, but the first sentence from the big screen made all the fans stunned and their mouths twitched.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has nurtured a Hunyuan Pearl after thousands of years."

"It greedily absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and its power continues to grow. However, the spiritual energy it absorbs is too mixed, and it stirs up the demonic energy that is entangled and cannot distinguish between good and evil."

"The master sent me and my junior brother to subdue it..."

The fans were stunned by the narration of the movie, of course.

But this voice, not the familiar Mandarin, but Trump!!

As soon as this weird Trump appeared, some people with low sense of laughter could not hold back.

To be honest, they always thought that this animated film was a very serious animated film, after all, the trailer was full of scenes like Nezha being thrown stones.

But who would have thought that it would be such a style at the beginning?

This is very different from the style of Lao Zei's works all the time!

If this sentence only made adult fans dumbfounded, then the appearance of Taiyi Zhenren next made the whole theater burst into laughter!

…

“Yes, this is the Taiyi Zhenren whom I admire!!”

“Although I have a little baby fat, it can’t hide my stunning handsomeness!”

When Taiyi Zhenren twisted his chubby body and spoke in a devilish Trump voice on the big screen, the entire theater was completely attracted by this animated film in a short time, and even Yuan Xi couldn’t help laughing out loud.

“Hahahahaha——”

“Mom! He’s so fat! Hahahaha!”

“What’s wrong with this Taiyi Zhenren…”

“Are Lin Qiu and Lao Zei crazy?”

“Fuck!”

Amidst the laughter, many fans couldn’t believe that this was a work by Lao Zei and Lin Qiu.

It can be said that although the works of Lao Zei and Lin Qiu are of different types, styles, and creative methods, there is one thing in common, that is, most of the works of these two people are serious.

There is almost no such comedy effect.

Indeed, Lao Zei and Lin Qiu have made so many types of works, and there is almost no comedy!

This kind of laugh is quite natural for the people of Xiazhou. Trump is very well accepted in the whole Xiazhou, and then Shen Gongbao's appearance makes people smile again.

Shen Gongbao is a stutterer!

Trump and stuttering are not derogatory characteristics in the film, but just for comedy effect.

In real life, if you encounter stuttering and defects, you should not laugh at them.

"This 3D!"

"Shocked."

"Changan's 3D is so awesome..."

"Don't forget how powerful Changan Animation's production department is now..."

Changan Animation's production team doesn't need to be boasted, the whole Xiazhou knows it.

But the Yingzhou-style animation works produced by Changan before were all 2D animation works.

In the public's perspective, 2D animation is better than 3D animation, and the viewing experience is better.

But when these fans saw the screen of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" in the cinema, this prejudice almost disappeared in an instant.

3D animation is well done, just as awesome!

Look at the exquisite pictures and scenes in "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", every frame is enough to make people admire.

The story of the movie begins with such exclamations.

The Hunyuan Pearl, as the narrator introduced, entangles the fairy spirit and the devil spirit without distinguishing between good and evil. Yuanshi Tianzun refined the Hunyuan Pearl into a spirit pearl and a magic pill.

Even children know the difference between the two.

When the spirit pearl is reincarnated into a human, it will give birth to a kind spirit, while the magic pill will give birth to a demon king and bring disaster to the whole world.

In order to destroy the magic pill, Yuanshi Tianzun cast a heavenly curse on the magic pill. Three years later, the thunder will descend and the magic pill will be destroyed, and there will be no worries in the world.

At the beginning of the story, Yuanshi Tianzun asked Taiyi Zhenren to reincarnate this spirit pearl representing kindness into Nezha, the son of Li Jing in Chentangguan. If the spirit pearl is cultivated into a talent, Taiyi Zhenren will be promoted to the last of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun.

…

"Spiritual Pearl?"

"How did the magic pill get to Nezha?"

Because I've seen the trailer before and saw Nezha's appearance, plus the movie title "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes to the World", it's easy to think that it's probably not the Spiritual Pearl that was reincarnated in Nezha, but the Magic Pill.

"Shen Gongbao!"

"It looks like he's the one!"

Yuan Xi heard the discussion next door and looked at the indignant Shen Gongbao on the screen.

Shen Gongbao was extremely eager for the last spot among the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun, and this desire prompted Shen Gongbao to swap the magic pill with the Spiritual Pearl in order to prove himself!

"Wow! A blackened version of Nezha?"

"What a bull! Can Nezha also be blackened?"

"To be honest, I'm excited..."

The word "blackened" makes many anime fans excited. In previous anime works, which protagonist's blackened version is not handsome?

Isn't Zombie Tyrannosaurus handsome? !

As a popular mythological figure in Xiazhou, Nezha's image is almost fixed. However, this animated film tells all fans and audiences from the first moment that all the images in this animated film are subversive.

Before the film was officially released, who could have imagined that Taiyi Zhenren would be such a chubby image?

In the past, Taiyi Zhenren had profound Taoism, powerful magic, and a true immortal style.

Sure enough, the plot of this kind of animated film will not be too complicated. Nezha, who should have been reborn as a hero, turned into a demon on the spot! !

…

Boom——

When Nezha, the reincarnation of the devil pill, was born into the world with flames, many viewers who originally could not accept this kind of Nezha modeling got it!

As soon as the naughty and evil Nezha was born, he began to attack the surroundings crazily!

Whether it was buildings or people, there was a sense of killing. For a while, the people of Qiantang Pass kept howling and running around.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Taiyi Zhenren had to take out the Qiankun Circle to suppress him, and was ready to kill Nezha directly to eliminate future troubles!

"Qiankun Circle!"

"It's actually the Qiankun Circle!"

Legend has it that the Qiankun Circle was originally Taiyi Zhenren's magic weapon, and later passed it on to Nezha.

But this way of cutting in the movie is quite novel.

At the critical moment, Li Jing and his wife stood in front of Taiyi Zhenren, and Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly said:

"This is the reincarnation of the magic pill! I used the Qiankun Circle to suppress his evil nature!"

"If he becomes a complete demon one day, he will definitely kill people!"

"All lives will be destroyed!"

...

But which parents in the world can give up their children like this?

Just because of a reincarnation of the magic pill, they have to watch their children being killed?

What's more, Nezha himself is a victim. Under the pleading of Li Jing and his wife, Taiyi Zhenren has no way to do this cruel thing. Even so, the heavenly calamity curse set by Yuanshi Tianzun will still take Nezha's life in three years.

…

"Nezha is really miserable. His originally good fate was changed to this by Shen Gongbao's selfishness!"

"Ah!"

"Oh my god, the spirit pearl actually went to Ao Bing. Who could have thought that the plot would unfold like this?"

"This plot is so subversive."

The movie only played the beginning, and even before Nezha's main perspective, the fans had already been completely involved.

The pictures are there.

The plot is there!

Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty.

After Shen Gongbao took the spirit pearl, he immediately conspired with the Dragon King of the East China Sea to take what they needed.

This spirit pearl will be reborn in the body of Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.

Although there are not many records about Ao Bing in traditional mythology, the people of Xiazhou have more or less heard about his "glorious deeds", which are not good things anyway.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea naturally wants his son to gain boundless magical powers and change the fate of the dragon clan!

You know, although the dragon clan sounds very powerful, the status of the dragon clan is quite embarrassing in any mythological system.

In the previous life of "Journey to the West", it is a bit exaggerated to say that the immortals and Buddhas can kill and eat them whenever they want.

Otherwise, they can't be skinned and pulled out...

So the Dragon King tried to change the fate of the dragon clan, and this starting point is recognized by the fans.

The second is Shen Gongbao, who wants to take Ao Bing as his apprentice to improve his status and prove that he is the most suitable candidate for the Twelve Golden Immortals.

The two hit it off and it happened naturally.

...

The plot of the first twenty minutes of the movie is obviously mainly to introduce the background of the whole story, but it is made so interesting and attractive, and it attracts laughter from the whole theater from time to time, which is enough to prove the level of the movie itself.

Yuan Xi can't brag at this time. This movie will be another milestone work, but Yuan Xi firmly believes this from the bottom of his heart!

Because in Yuan Xi's perspective, no animation production company has ever been able to produce 3D animation to this level!

In addition, the plot written by Lao Zei, with subversive magic changes and the interweaving of comedy plots, is destined to make this animated film extremely popular.

In a daze.

Nezha has grown up.

The grown-up Nezha is naturally the modeling that thousands of fans have seen in the trailer.

However, after knowing the cause and effect, the audience sitting in the theater is no longer so disgusted with this modeling, but feels distressed for Nezha's experience.

Especially when Nezha's parents used a barrier to lock Nezha in the mansion to prevent Nezha from causing trouble, the fans clenched their fists even more, because they seemed to blame Shen Gongbao for Nezha's demonic nature.

Seeing Nezha's disappointed and boring expression, Yuan Xi felt that it was lifelike.

Li Jing and his wife wanted to accompany Nezha more, but because they had to guard Chentang Pass, they didn't have much time at all.

Nezha wanted his parents to spend more time with him, but he couldn't speak. He could only use his irritable mood to cover up his disappointment and his desire for family affection!

...

The people of Chentangguan witnessed the birth of Nezha.

During this period of time, whenever Nezha appeared in Chentangguan, the people would be in chaos and live in misery.

At this time, people had already hated Nezha!

But is all this really Nezha's fault?

When Nezha's memories flashed back, the scenes in the trailer appeared on the big screen.

Since he was a child, Nezha has experienced the injustice of the world and the scorn of the people.

No people in Chentangguan were willing to let their children play with Nezha when he was a child. There were even children of the same age who "bullied" Nezha, throwing rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves on him, shouting:

"Monster!"

"Go to hell!"

"Get out of Chentangguan!"

"Go to hell!"

"Monster!"

Therefore, every time Nezha recalled the childhood scenes in his dreams, he would clench his fists.

It was this memory that made the fans in the entire theater reach the peak of empathy for Nezha!

"My Chao! Are these children human? Nezha didn't do anything!"

"Is human nature good? Human nature is evil!"

"To be honest, the ancients were often ignorant. From the moment Nezha was born, he was destined to be targeted and prejudiced by the people of Chentangguan!"

"Adults are hateful, and children are hateful! Evil knows no age!"

"Ah!"

...

What is right and what is wrong?

From Lao Zei's martial arts trilogy, many readers have understood a truth, that is, when looking at a thing, you can never start from a single perspective, otherwise it will cause bias in the evaluation of the thing.

The people's fear of Nezha comes from the heart, which led to Nezha's miserable childhood.

If the people had given Nezha more love in his childhood, Nezha wouldn't be as violent as he is now!
