China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

What ordinary viewers pay attention to is that the animated characters are very cute.

The eyes of relevant professionals have already widened.

An expert knows the way.

Those present who have animation experience will know just by seeing this title that this thing can never be made in China.

This is not about creativity, but the animation itself.

The small animals on the planet are full of details, and you can see their hair if you look closely.

Look at the expression again.

Just when the panda planet was eating, its cheeks were bulging, chewing one after another.

Just such a shot, no company in China can produce such a vivid shot!

Only Hollywood CG animation can do this.

The gap between domestic animation levels and Hollywood is basically wider than the previous gap in special effects.

So even Xingchen’s animation technology has reached the top level all at once?

Without thinking too much, the cute version of the title sequence ends.

"Star Animation" lights up.

Then the scene changes and the movie officially enters its theme.

But at the beginning, the movie screen was not the 3D animation that everyone thought, but 2D.

The title "Kung Fu Panda" appears.

It is not uncommon for domestic animations to use the ink style. Many years ago, "Tadpole Looking for Mom" ​​used the ink style.

Now that Lupingan is using it, the most it can do is optimize it to make the picture look better. It’s nothing special to be proud of.

Accompanied by the sound of the flute, which is also full of Chinese style and has a sense of loneliness.

Chinese elements such as mountains, rivers, and bamboo forests appear in the picture, just like a traditional Chinese painting.

Full of aesthetics.

The eyes of the foreign film producers at the scene lit up.

The narrator also remembered at this time: "A long time ago, the martial arts world sung the praises of such a legendary hero, whose kung fu was superb."

At this point, the live animation practitioners breathed a sigh of relief. If all animations were like this, it wouldn’t be a big deal. We can do it too.

It's just that this thought hasn't finished yet.

Then the screen changed.

The whole picture has become a shadow puppet style, but it is not the traditional shadow puppet, but only the form of shadow puppet is used, and the overall style of painting is still modern.

Flying sand, a suspension bridge, and a panda wearing a bamboo hat came from afar.

As for the visuals, although technically everyone still thinks it is not particularly difficult, it is just a little more difficult than at the beginning, but it is still 2D after all.

Aesthetically speaking, compared with the national style of black, white and gray, it is certainly not comparable on a large scale, but with the addition of more colors, it is indeed more in line with the taste of cartoons.

The narration continues: "He traveled all over the world, seeking defeat alone."

In the picture, the shadow puppet style continues, but after adding perspective and depth of field, the picture becomes more three-dimensional.

At the same time, the plot of the film also began to be introduced.

The panda hero came to the inn and took a bite of the steamed buns. He was surrounded by hungry wolves who wanted to rob him.

Then, after the panda hero swallowed the buns, under the passionate explanation of the narrator, he quickly killed the gangsters.

What about the style of painting?

In the words of live animation people, it’s too casual!

One action, one shot, flash by.

This kind of scene seems more suitable for the "memories" of the characters in the film.

Then the panda continued to eradicate evil, killing everyone in all directions, with deadly moves.

That action looked really sharp to the moviegoers.

Just like the little rabbit in the film, he shouted "So handsome!"

Liu Qianqian in the theater raised her lips: I deserve it!

Then the Panda Heroes continued the battle, fighting various enemies in the form of jackals, tigers and leopards.

In that scene, jackals, tigers and leopards descended from the sky, and with one big move of the Panda Hero, countless enemies fell like raindrops.

Accompanied by super-burning music, the panda warrior buttoned up his hat and walked among the raindrops of enemies falling everywhere, just as the narrator described in an admiring tone: "When the matter is over, take off your clothes and hide your merits and fame!"

The glorious deeds of the Panda Hero attracted the worship of the "Five Heroes of the Central Plains".

They are monkeys, tigers, mantises, snakes and cranes.

Anyone who knows a little bit will understand immediately that this is monkey-shaped boxing and tiger-shaped boxing.

Then, Monkey, one of the Five Heroes of the Central Plains, said in an admiring tone: "Hero, lead me around!"

Panda looked cold and said: "Okay!"

So the six-person team of the Five Heroes of the Central Plains + the Panda Heroes was successfully formed.

Everyone embarks on the journey.

The narrator continues the super-burning explanation: "They are about to eradicate all the evils on the land of China, but before that, there is one most important thing to do, and that is"

The scene froze, and a weak voice sounded like a nagging father: "Abao, wake up!"

In the picture, the Panda Hero was stunned for a moment. The Monkey Hero and Old Hu Hero next to him actually spoke to him with the same voice.

"Abao, get up quickly, the sun is shining on your butt!"

"Get up and go to work, guests are coming~"

Panda Hero: "What?"

The next second, the 2D panda fell into the abyss.

Then there was a bang.

The 3D animated panda fell to the floor.

Now everyone understands.

The fight scene just now turned out to be a dream!

What a middle school dream!

The animation professionals were still expressionless just now.

But at the moment when 2D is converted to 3D animation.

His whole eyes became solemn instantly.

Because 2D animation clips are not difficult for them.

But 3D animation is a completely different concept.

There is at least a fifteen-year gap between domestic 3D animation and Hollywood!

Results now.

This panda lying on the ground.

This room.

Simply. It’s even better than Hollywood’s production level!

I saw this fat panda named Po, yawning and looking at the poster of the Five Heroes of the Central Plains on the wall. It was obvious from his expression that he was recalling the dream he had just had.

Then the voice calling him to get up sounded again.

Abao rubbed his eyes to dispel the sleepiness and had a carp thrust.

The result was unsuccessful.

There was a bang, the floor shook, the fat belly rippled, and the bowl on the cabinet nearby also crackled and trembled.

It’s so real!

Attentive people have even noticed that the sunlight is shining next to the bed. If you look closely, you can see that the hair is clear, and the dust refracted by the sunlight is flying in the air.

The whole picture simply makes animation practitioners despair.

So true!

Looking at it again, although this character is obviously an animation, the light and shadow, various details, floor textures, and flying dust are still there.

This seems to have never been seen in Hollywood!

So this is really a domestic animation?

If so.

So

Lu Pingan said it would make the technology public.

In other words, we can also make it? !

At this moment, the despair in everyone's eyes has begun to reverse.

But movie fans don't care so much.

Although many people at the scene were old guys, they had little interest in cartoons.

But you can also see that the animation is so vivid!

The plot seems interesting too.

The rest of the younger viewers were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the animation and had already begun to be involved in the plot.

Soon, Abao was called downstairs by "Dad" and started working.

Then in a blink of an eye, Po's father appeared.

One detail, dad’s shadow is also a round panda.

When the camera turned, it was just a duck wearing a funny hat? !
