In terms of genre, comedy is the most in the seven works, followed by fantasy, and in the animation works, only children who make money by muffling their voices make a huge impact on the big movie "Bears Come and Go".New Gods: Nezha Reborn to welcome "a new chapter in the country"(hereinafter referred to as "Nezha Rebirth").
As the only adult-oriented animation work in the Spring Festival, the ambition of Nezha Rebirth was clearly seen in the early publicity.
Last Saturday, the film was shown in advance, which was the first operation in the Spring Festival movie.
todayPreview of 2021 Spring Festival moviesIn the fourth chapter, Xiaowan will come to talk to you about this new work of the bloody country.
The setting of Nezha Rebirth is quite interesting:
The creation background of this work is the well-known "Battle to Seal the Gods" and the classic legend that Nezha drew his sword and committed suicide after killing Ao Bing and injuring the Dragon King.
But these are just the background.
The new story is set 3,000 years after the gods were named, and the protagonists all live in a fictional new world called "Donghai City".
Different from the well-known story, Nezha here was not saved by Master and reborn with lotus flowers as her body, but escaped from the great war 3,000 years ago.Reincarnate and be reborn..
In this life, the object of Nezha’s reincarnation symbiosis was born in the civilian area of Donghai City.Hot-blooded locomotive youth Li Yunxiang.
There is Nezha in the East China Sea, and naturally there are his old enemies:
Donghai Longwang Ao Guang, this life disguised as Dexing group chaebol, in charge of the East China Sea city water lifeline, and strive to get rid of the bottom in the new round of ranking;
Three princes ao bing, it became the third young master of Dexing Group, and the image of the idle second sai-jo did not change;
Longwang Ao Guang hag
Died at the hands of Nezha three thousand years ago.yakshaThis life is still close to the Dragon King, and what I want to do is to slay Nezha to avenge my great hatred;
Disciples of Empress Shijierosy cloudsAlso followed closely, clamoring for Nezha to "take his life to pay the blood debt" …
The gods appeared in modern cities, but they were still entangled in blood feuds for generations. The script of Nezha Rebirth can be said to be very daring to write.

Of course, it’s miserable or Nezha’s. A wisp of ghost is not enough to bring natural identity, and the divine power is also flickering and difficult to control. Before we know who we are, the vast enemies of past lives have come to you in turn.
This young man who can only ride motorcycles in the modern jungle of reinforced concrete seems to have a long way to grow up.
Classical mythology as the background, boldly open up a new generation., "Nezha Rebirth" This setting is really a risky move.
But if Xiaowan says it’sThe creative team comes from the 2019 explosion "White Snake: Origin"-light-chasing animation, does it sound inexplicably relaxing?
After all, in The White Snake: The Origin, the classic story The Legend of the White Snake is just the background, and the fate of Xu Xian, the white snake, is the subject of the story. The main contradiction between the two has even risen from "shemale" to the opposite of "snake demon and snake catcher".
This bold setting has been recognized by the audience’s word of mouth and the total box office of 470 million.
So two years later, director Zhao Ji boldly imagined the afterlife of Nezha and other immortals with his original team, believing that more audiences were expecting more than worrying.
Because,Light-chasing animation has always been good at "subverting tradition".
The subversion of the pursuit of light is not a drastic response to the classic story of magic change. On the contrary, they alwaysBased on the original story, do deep excavation forward and backward.
Retaining the original story to lay the background is to retain the audience’s familiarity and emotion with IP; Opening up new stories is actually a new requirement of modern audiences for emotional resonance.
Of course, the production of light-chasing animation can not only guarantee the wide opening of the brain and novelty of setting.
In "White Snake: The Origin", the strong Chinese painting style is touching, and the ink painting of the white snake is even more amazing;
Scene constructionIn fact, there are big scenes such as mountains and rivers and towns that are in line with the oriental aesthetics, and there is a unique hole in Baoqing Square that presents exquisite ingenuity.
Action sceneIt fully demonstrates the skills of light-chasing animation in lens splitting and special effects.
And all this will be reproduced in Nezha Rebirth.
Come back and say "punk Nezha", which makes people set it up.
Three thousand years after the gods were named, the gods lived in a fictional modern city in various capacities: Donghai City.
hereThe blocks are clearly divided.Li Yunxiang was born in a civilian area, the three princes of the Dragon King were representatives of the rich area, and the eye-catching masked man came from an industrial area and ran an underground racetrack, so he became attached to Li Yunxiang.
Obviously,This so-called division of blocks is the division of social classes.High-rise buildings in rich areas are neon, civilian areas are crowded and chaotic, and the shelter of masked people is a strong industrial wind …
Look familiar? This setting often appears in sci-fi movies, and we call it "Cyberpunk style".
The most important element of Cyberpunk:Mechanical transformation of human beings, "Nezha Rebirth" is everywhere.
Li Yunxiang’s steel armor, the East China Sea East King’s metal arm, the mysterious man’s exaggerated mask of combining Chinese and Western …
The most eye-catching thing is Ao Bingna, the third prince of the Dragon King.Metal spine instead of dragon tendon, it’ s so embarrassing to have no friends!
However, the characters are infinitely close to the future technology in modeling, which can’t define the tone of Nezha Rebirth.
Because of the heavy action scenes in the film, each character is fighting with the help of the original gods in previous lives.Mana or cold weapons, the elements of national style in the confrontation scene are outstanding..
As for why such an alternative "leather motorcycle" Nezha was presented, director Evonne said that "Nezha in the new era will also make people shine".
It is true that as the most rebellious representative of ancient mythological figures, Nezha has a vivid image in the hearts of every generation of China audiences.
The incarnation of the lotus flower with three heads and six arms in the early religious mythology, the stubborn child who killed the deity and the Buddha in the Romance of the Gods, and the tragic color of this role reached its peak in 1979 when Nezha hanged himself with a sword in The Sea.
But with the changes of the times,At that time, the social environment against power and patriarchy has been greatly improved.It is not an easy task to arouse a wide range of resonance by "cutting the meat back to the mother and eviscerating the bones back to the father".
This is also the reason why jiaozi, the director, roared with Nezha’s words that "my life is up to me" was sought after:The spirit of rebellion will never disappear, but the object of rebellion will always keep pace with the times.
In The Rebirth of Nezha, the image of Nezha portrayed by director Evonne is not only close to the present through the modeling of leather motorcycle, but also typical of contemporary rebellious young people in character: "He doesn’t want to take the road arranged by others, but wants to do what he thinks is right".
Therefore, even with the eye-catching setting, "Nezha Rebirth" is still the core that conveys the most resonance of modern young people:
If you don’t want to accept your fate, you will fight for it!
