The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 392 Artwork

"Can't understand "Skyhawk Warrior"? This commentary will let you understand it once!"

"What kind of charm makes this sci-fi animation comparable to "The Matrix"?"

"Triple Metaphors of Episode 20 of Science Fiction Animation "Skyhawk Warrior"."

"Why is it named Aquila? What kind of meaning does AOC contain? My bold guess."

"Tianying: It may be the most complete information on the apostles on the whole network, and the eighteen apostles are analyzed one by one."

"Take you through an episode of "Skyhawk Warrior" in 1 minute!"

"Stop pretending, let me tell you the psychologist's true feelings after watching "Skyhawk Warrior"!"

"AT position? The wall of the heart? An in-depth interpretation of why only mental patients can drive AOC!"

After the last episode of "Skyhawk Warrior" was broadcast, all the settings of the whole story, including the high concept that surprised the audience, fully surfaced, and finally aroused a lot of hot topic on the Internet.

This ordinary-named animated sci-fi work has gradually shown signs of being completely out of the circle from a small scale.

It is no longer limited to works discussed by anime fans or the acg community.

Fans of "Skyhawk Warrior" have confidently discarded the word animation after the finale came out, and directly characterized this work as a sci-fi masterpiece.

It even claims that this is a sci-fi work that can match "Matrix" or even surpass "Matrix".

In addition, many public figures and big Vs also strongly recommend this work on social media.

In addition, the Douban score rose directly from 9.5 to 9.7 within two days after the finale aired, making it the highest-scoring domestic animation work in history.

Obviously, the revelation of all the clues in the last episode has really raised the style and evaluation of the whole animation to a whole new level, which is why many people can't suppress their excitement after watching it and highly recommend it on social media.

This kind of voice naturally attracted the interest of many netizens who are not too interested in animation, and they all went to the streaming media to see what is so magical about this animation, can it be compared with "Matrix"?
Under such a virtuous circle, "Skyhawk Warrior" is naturally completely out of the circle.

Because "Skyhawk Warrior" naturally has many controversies and interpretations, and it just happened to catch up with the rapid development of the short video platform, so there are all kinds of hype, or short videos that really interpret this animation. It was released, which accelerated the release of "Skyhawk".

The process is almost indistinguishable from The Walking Dead.

It can be said that although "The Walking Dead" and "Aquila Warrior" are live-action sci-fi dramas and the other is an animated sci-fi drama, they both caught up with the good times, and the speed of their release caught fans and DreamWorks by surprise.

Images are naturally more appealing than words, or they can convey appeal and express ideas at the fastest speed.

Therefore, compared with the long-winded film review-style Amway, the Amway and communication capabilities of short videos with pictures and audio in just a few minutes have made a qualitative leap.

The short video platform has been rising rapidly since last year, and this momentum has become more obvious in 17.

People who don't have computers, and even don't watch TV, basically have smartphones and short video software.

High-quality word-of-mouth dramas such as "The Walking Dead" and "Skyhawk Warrior" rely on short videos to spread. Once they gain momentum, they can form an unstoppable trend that can cover diverse users across ages and regions.

In particular, "The Walking Dead" itself has an impactful picture, and it spreads virally through the short video platform.

The same is true in foreign countries, and even formed a phenomenon-level Internet topic. Even though the first season has been broadcast, the popularity has not decreased but increased.

Naturally, "Skyhawk Warrior" cannot be compared with "The Walking Dead". The dissemination of two-dimensional animation is inherently insufficient, especially in China, and it does not have strange shots and pictures like the zombie apocalypse.

But even so, it became DreamWorks' most popular animated series in a short period of time.

The 15-year-old "Space Super Battleship" is already relatively out of the circle, and it is still a 3D animation, but it still cannot be compared with "Aquila".

Similar to "Battleship", "Aquila" also attracted the attention of some mainstream eyes in the cultural circle.

This time the attention is stronger than that of "Battleship".

For "Battleship", many people's main focus is that it broadens the breadth of Huaguo animation. An animation for teenagers can be so hard-core, and it can pass on these relatively hard-core knowledge in an entertaining way. .

The significance lies in guiding more possibilities for the future development of Huaguo Animation.

But there is still a feeling of being taller than a dwarf, that is, it is remarkable that animation themes can do this. It can be regarded as an attempt by cultural product manufacturers represented by DreamWorks to explore the depth of animation.

When it comes to "Skyhawk", this kind of admiration turns into admiration.

The well-known film critic Jiang Yong has such a feeling. He was once amazed by the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage" at the beginning of the year, but it was probably because "The Great Sage" came out with a very Chinese and aesthetic 3D animation style. , the technical performance is not inferior to Hollywood, and there are stories with a high degree of completion and just the right narrative rhythm.

It is because Huaguo Animation has caught up with Hollywood's high-level animation films to inspire and encourage.

But it hasn’t changed his views on animation. There is nothing profound in “The Great Sage”, after all, it is aimed at children or teenagers. It is difficult to discuss more serious propositions, and it is also difficult to truly reach the level of film art.

However, "Skyhawk" completely changed his opinion. He was also impressed by this animation during the conversation with his colleagues. After all, it was produced by DreamWorks. of.

Otherwise, he would be unlikely to watch ordinary animated dramas, at least he would have to go to theaters to provide animated movies for Fei Zi to motivate him to appreciate them.

And this animation really gave him a big surprise.

Whether it is a lot of psychoanalysis, psychological metaphors, or animation composition and use of shadows, even this kind of psychoanalysis is achieved through many stream-of-consciousness storyboards.

This kind of technique, which can be called the most cutting-edge and obscure in film art, is applied to an animation, which is enough to make people admire it. It is the courage of DreamWorks, the genius of the screenwriter, and the excellent control of the director.

The whole animation is basically a process of psychological analysis and treatment of teenagers.

Jiang Yong never thought that he would write a film review for an animated drama so soon after "The Great Sage" at the beginning of the year.

[... All the protagonists in the animation have tragic childhood stories, but these stories were not given as the story setting at the beginning, but slowly surfaced as the plot deepened, which is in line with the spirit of the protagonists The gradual deepening of the dilemma is synchronized.

In the early stage, "Skyhawk" will reveal some inner conflicts of a certain character in some sensitive corners, but they are all to the point, because the incident has not been deepened layer by layer, and the subconscious will not be peeled off so easily.

When the story advances to 16 episodes, you will suddenly feel that the inner narratives of some of the previous characters are not exaggerated, and their pain is so fragile and reasonable.

On the one hand, AOCs, as Adam's body, are a key point of the plot; on the other hand, they are the stage where the protagonists undergo mental changes and psychological conflicts. Whenever the camera is inserted into the plug, we know the psychological monologue When the time comes, the closed space is the breeding ground of the subconscious mind.

In my eyes, the plugged cockpit is a stage for psychological struggle.

This is a psychological education work in which teenagers with various psychological problems try to make up for their shortcomings, finally accept themselves and learn to face reality.

Adolescents' sense of loneliness and lack is infinitely magnified, so talents need to be "complemented".

What is valuable is that the screenwriter did not allow these problem teenagers to be cured and completed, but to tell the children who are watching this animation the truth that people are not perfect, and perhaps the problems left by childhood trauma cannot be solved. , but you can still bravely accept your imperfect and flawed self.

There is no beautiful vision of "Congratulations on becoming an adult", only the reality of seeing yourself clearly and continuing to love yourself and others.

As an animation theme, "Aquila" has undoubtedly taken a big step forward on the road of serious themes. As an audience, I have to applaud Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks for their exploration of serious themes, and offer the highest level of praise.

For the sake of animation, it is enough to bear the evaluation of a work of art]

Film critics like Jiang Yong are not alone in their evaluations of works of art. It can even be said that "Skyhawk Warrior" is actually more pleasing to young literary and artistic youths and film critics than its apparent audience—teenagers.

With such a high evaluation, the popularity of "Skyhawk Warrior" has continued to rise after the end and has become a hot topic.

The most direct impact is that DreamWorks has entered the project approval process for the live-action movie version of "Aquila Warrior".

Live-action movies can produce the greatest commercial value. After all, Huaguo is not Japan, and there is no tradition of watching animation for everyone from old to young. This is not something that DreamWorks can cultivate.

The animated films that can get high box office in China are basically 3D animations, and it is best to have a family carnival theme with a solid script, or a big IP with a traditional mythology as the background. The theatrical version of Fanju has no future. "Your Name" As a two-dimensional animation, the high box office is the success of an excellent youth love movie, not the success of the animation itself.

The "Pacific Rim" in the previous life was actually influenced by a lot of "Evangelion".

Chen Jingxing believes that it is also very feasible to use the IP of "Skyhawk Warrior" to shoot Huaguo's "Pacific Rim".

Even though the battle scenes of "Aquila" have been "burning funds" as much as possible, and have been praised by anime fans, but in the final analysis, it is animation, or two-dimensional animation. No matter how much money is spent, the appeal and expressiveness will definitely not be comparable to the live-action version. The indomitable mecha is comparable to that of monsters.
