Chapter 642 "Nezha Raising the Sea" and "The Devil Child Comes to the World"

Regarding Nezha, Li Yi actually had some ideas early in the morning, or there were more than one movie about Nezha early in the morning.

In my memory, that Nezha is ugly, but the box office is the highest in Guoman!
However, to be honest, the special effects of that Nezha movie were really good, but in Li Yi's opinion, the plot had a big problem.

This is probably one of the biggest shortcomings of domestic animated films, as is the case with "The Return of the Great Sage", as is the case with "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".

First of all, let me talk about the core of the story of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".A good story must have a central spirit, just like the core of the Great Sage, knowing that it cannot be saved, but still trying to save it, knowing that it cannot be done, but doing it.

And the core of Nezha's story should be "my fate is up to me".

So what is fate?Lingzhu Magic Pill, dual protagonist.The fate of the Lingzhu should be to save, but the fate of the magic pill is naturally to harm the world.

But Nezha, the carrier of the magic pill in the original version of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", has he resisted the nature of the devil?
Li Yi didn't think so!

When Nezha was born, he was extremely fierce. Later, Taiyi Zhenren used the universe circle to suppress his fierceness.When Nezha ran away, he also used the Qiankun circle to suppress it. He didn't eliminate the nature of the magic pill, but he reduced the degree of liberation of the Qiankun circle. This, in Li Yi's view, was a failure.

Because Nezha, who is the protagonist, and Nezha, who is the magic pill of destiny, has the ferocious nature of a demon, and the core of the movie lies in resistance.

But in the end, the protagonist Nezha didn't have any intention of actively resisting the nature of the magic pill, but was passive!

Therefore, if you really want to use this script, since you know this flaw, you must modify it, for example, turn passive into active.

For example, Nezha knows that the Qiankun circle can suppress his violence, but the process of suppressing it is painful, but he still takes the initiative to put on the Qiankun circle.

One is to change passively, and the other is to actively seek change. Li Yi thinks the latter is more suitable.

In terms of the plot, in fact, "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" is really a lot worse than the older "Nezha Mind".

In "Nezha Mind".

Nezha was seven years old, the weather was drought and the ground was cracked, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea refused to rain, so he even ordered Yacha to go to the seaside to snatch boys and girls by force.Nezha acted bravely and killed Yacha with the Qiankun circle, and also killed Ao Bing, the son of the Dragon King who came to reinforce him.Everything is not because of being strong, but because of injustice.

It can be said that the logic and three views are relatively positive.

However, "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" seems to express resistance to selfishness and caring for the people of the world.

However, the results were not good.

In the whole movie, Nezha saves twice, the first time is to save the little girl who was caught by the spitball monster.

But in order to save people, he would not hesitate to set fire to destroy the house, which is exactly the same as in the picture of Shanhe Sheji.

It's not for altruism at all, it's just for self-proving. This kind of self-moving rescue is actually the opposite of true heroic behavior. Since he doesn't care whether the stone statues of Ao Bing and the little girl will be smashed and used This can also be seen as a weapon.

The second time Chen Tangguan rescued people, in fact, the foreshadowing was not enough at all. What was shown in the film was entirely because he finally understood his father's love in order to save his parents.Saving the people may even give people the feeling that they are just belligerent and incidental, if not, there should be a change in mood.

And Li Jing is also contradictory. On the one hand, he said that I want to save my son by destroying demons, and on the other hand, he said: If one day Nezha is a disaster, I, Li Jing, will sacrifice my life to seek justice for everyone!
On the other side, Nezha wantonly destroyed the city, but there was no punishment, and the confinement was like a joke.

When Nezha's vicious nature had not changed, Taiyi Daoist presented him with Hun Tianling and a fire-pointed gun, without any consideration of the consequences.

It seems that as long as no one is killed, it is not a big deal.

This point can be said to be extremely unfair!
And is there a familiar sense of sight?The attitude of Li Jing and his wife towards Nezha shown in the movie and the attitude of Taiyi real person towards Nezha are like withdrawing.

He obviously made a huge mistake, if Nezha wasn't their son or apprentice, would he be punished like confinement for such a child's play if he did such a thing?

Therefore, Li Yi always feels that this plot is really worth deliberating.

How to change it, Li Yi hasn't thought about it yet!
This is also one of the reasons why he didn't directly give the script to Zhang Haiyang and the others.

In Li Yi's view, the script logic and concept of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" are too far off.

On the contrary, it is another relatively old "Nezha Naohai" in memory. Although it is a hand-painted animation film, its conception is far more than "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World"!
In "Nezha Navigating the Sea", Nezha meets the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea who comes out to captive the people, harms children, acts bravely, and fights the villains bravely. However, when the Dragon King of the East China Sea comes to Xingshi to question the crime, Li Jing does not come forward to protect his son, but raises his eyebrows Cold right.

It seems that such a father is hard to like, after all, the son seems to have done nothing wrong!
But this is the wonderful part of the story. From Li Yi's point of view, Li Jing here is actually full of contradictions and entanglements in his heart. The Dragon King of the Four Seas is not a supernatural power that he can afford, but also a monstrous power that a mortal can hardly contend with. huge waves.

Under the rule, the people were homeless and homeless, and his son was the direct fuse that caused the disaster. Even if he was willing to believe that his son was out of justice, but ah, the fact of causing trouble has already happened, and the result of the injury Already confirmed.

At this time, Li Jing had nowhere to appeal, nowhere to seek a fair ruling.

It's not that he doesn't come out to protect his son, but he knows that it's useless to come forward. In the face of the absolute power gap, he can only choose to draw a line with his son, so as to fulfill his responsibility as a parent officer.

So as a father, Li Jing knew he was sorry for his son, but he was not only Nezha's father, but also a parent officer!

Therefore, Li Jing, the strict father, faced with the unstoppable sword and dejected expression of his son who caused a catastrophe, and saw his father and son committing suicide, his support could only be supported by the grief of crying while leaning on the pillar!
Don't talk about Li Jing, just talk about Nezha, he is more like a hero than "The Devil Boy Comes into the World"!
Maybe when I was young, I couldn't understand it, but when I grow up, I believe any parent can understand it.

The image of Li Jing is definitely a good official and a hero, even if he has too much helplessness.

In comparison, if Li Yilai had to choose, he would prefer to choose "Nezha Naohai" instead of the more fashionable and novelty "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World"!
The former has a full story, while the latter wins with special effects!
But for Li Yi, it's just a waste of money for special effects!
However, Li Yi did not give either of these two scripts to Xingman, but asked them to do the script first.

Xingman is not short of funds or technology now, what it lacks is the level of scriptwriting of the top animation works on its own!
So Li Yi at least hopes that they can try it themselves, instead of relying entirely on him!

Maybe his script might still be used in the end, but at least, you can't do nothing and just wait for him, right?

PS: There are a lot of happy events recently. There are several celebration banquets for the college entrance examinations of relatives and children, and the birthday banquet for the elders to attend today.
I re-watched "Nezha Naohai" and "The Devil Boy Comes into the World". The latter now seems that the special effects are really the pinnacle of Guoman, but the script seems to be a bit broken, and the story and concept of "Nezha Naohai" Really good!So which one do you think is better?
