Introduction: The national comics of the new era are bound in a huge cage, if you want to ask which domestic animation has broken the boundaries of ideological constraints, who do you think it will be?
Is it the only harem fan "Eros Chocolate" in that domestic animation? Not really.
The animation that really breaks the shackles of traditional themes and thinking is the "Legend of the Fengshen List", which was born at the end of the last century, which is also the most unique style in the series of animations of Shangmeiying.
Perhaps many post-90s friends are very familiar with this work, and it is also the first domestic animation film produced by digital computer technology in China.
Although the story is taken from the traditional Chinese culture Fengshen Yanyi, what is surprising is the form of content it represents in that era.
The content theme of "Legend of the Fengshen List"
"Legend of the Fengshen List" is a 1998 work co-produced by Shangmei Film director Wang Genfa, and the animation began to appear on the screen in 1999 and premiered on Shanghai Television Channel 8.
Compared with the 1979 movie "Nezha Noisy Sea" and the 52-episode TV animation "Nezha Legend" in 2003, this version of the "Legend of the Fengshen List" animation has a full 100 episodes.
It can be said that it is the only work in the animation industry so far to restore the entire "Fengshen Yanyi".
At that time, Shangmei Film also made many changes to the plot of some characters to make the plot look more adult.
For example, for Nezha and Yang Jian interspersed with love lines, under the condition of the lack of love elements in domestic animation at that time, it can be said that the emergence of "Legend of the Fengshen List" made many children have fantasies about the opposite sex at that time.
However, not only that, even if this animation is placed in the current domestic environment, there are some more advanced elements.
Bold portrayal of female characters
Why is it said that this animation has the most advanced elements in the history of domestic animation? It is estimated that only the old fans who have seen this work know about it.
Compared with Japanese comics, our national comics are too monotonous for the behavior scale of female characters, and once some large-scale content appears, let alone whether they can pass the trial, even if they pass the trial, they cannot escape the parents' reports.
Ah, our children are still young, how can we see such vulgar things?
Because of the long time, the plot of the animation galaxy may not be remembered clearly, but its portrayal of several female characters has always been engraved in my mind.
In the domestic cartoons of the late 90s, it can only be said that the shangmei film at that time was very bold.
And the concubine of the King of Shangyi, DaiJi, dressed like a light veil, I believe many fans still have memories.
Of course, this scale is not very large, and it is also a norm in Japanese animation, but if it is placed in our country, it may become a bad factor affecting the physical and mental health of teenagers.
So far, the animation of "Legend of the Fengshen List" can still be online normally, and there has not even been deleted, which I think is really valuable.
Disadvantages of animation
Although the creative thinking of the animation "Legend of the Fengshen List" reflects a kind of openness and advancement in the thinking of the national comic at that time, the shortcomings of this animation are still obvious.
If you had a fan who had watched the Japanese manga "Saint Seiya" at that time, it was easy to find that the character shape in this animation was very similar to "Saint Seiya".
Some characters like Nezha, Snake Demon, Yang Jian, and so on, are like wearing holy clothes, and even the skills when fighting give people an extremely familiar feeling.
And the design of this kind of character modeling also gave birth to the most handsome Nezha in the history of national comics.
Therefore, at that time, many people also labeled this work as a copy of Saint Seiya.
In fact, I prefer to say that this is a reference, after all, the entire plot is taken from our "Fengshen Yanyi".
You know, in the 80s and 90s of the last century, the Japanese culture at this time reached a peak period and completely invaded the world.
Faced with the gap with The Japanese, the national comics at that time wanted to break through the limitations in front of them and had to learn from them. Therefore, the animation work "Legend of the Fengshen List" was born.
However, it is obvious that as a work born at the end of the last century, the production quality of "Legend of the Fengshen List" has not even touched the fur of "Saint Seiya" produced in Japan in the 80s.
Obviously, there are more than ten years apart, but the characters in "Legend of the Fengshen List" have stiff movements and extremely low frame rates, giving people a feeling of watching PPT, far less than the kind of lively fight in "Saint Seiya".
Therefore, although it has been more than 20 years, no god in this animation work is willing to repair it, after all, the foundation is really poor.
It is not difficult to see that the production technology of domestic animation at that time has indeed been greatly shaken off by the production technology of Japanese animation.
epilogue
Therefore, the emergence of "Legend of the Fengshen List" is actually an attempt and breakthrough made by Shangmei Film to borrow from Japanese comics, although it may not seem to be very successful.
However, in the era of lack of domestic animation resources at that time, "Legend of the Fengshen List" also accompanied many people through their childhood years.
The musical melody of the theme song "Legend" still seems to echo in the ears.
