"Chang'an 30,000 Li": After watching 3 hours of "holding urine", Chasing Light hit Wang Fried again this time

The animation "Chang'an 30,000 Li" was released.

With a length of 186 minutes, it also set a peak for animated films.

At present, the box office of the film is 184 million, and the predicted total score is 508 million, which is generally in line with expectations.

01, the arrangement and box office of the loss.

In fact, the quality of this movie is excellent, but the box office is relatively bad.

Compared with the movies released at the same time, "Chang'an 30,000 Li" is close to three hours, and the audience is still aimed at all ages.

Children are on vacation, and parents should be the first choice to take them to watch movies.

It is more difficult for a child to sit quietly for three hours than for older people.

From the perspective of cinemas, the summer season is highly competitive.

Arrange two "Chang'an 30,000 Li", you can arrange three other films.

Therefore, the arrangement of this film does not dominate.

It is good that a film has artistic value, but it also needs to consider commercial value and box office.

Especially for companies that create a series of movies like Chasing Light, this length is very "loss".

However, chasing light is not without taking these factors into account, and the reason why 186 minutes are not cut is that I think it is also the insistence of the filmmakers.

Even if part of the box office is abandoned, it is necessary to present the affair of the Great Tang to the audience in its entirety.

With this attitude, the ticket price of this movie is already worth the money.

02, Romanticism and Historicism

The overall style of the film is biased towards a combination of romanticism and historicism.

In the movie, we can peek into the leopard from the characters and learn about the rise and fall of the history of the Tang Dynasty.

The film presents all the familiar Tang Dynasty poets, such as Li Bai, Gao Shi, Du Fu, Wang Changling and so on.

Biased towards group drama.

However, the main characters are still concentrated on Li Bai and Gao Shi, using their experience and growth to string together the history of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Bai is endowed with extraordinary and romantic freedom;

Gao Shi, steady and practical, indomitable.

People with different personalities can become confidants by mistake and meet friends with poetry, highlighting the "tolerance" of Tang culture.

The talented Li Bai wanted to embark on the road to the world, but he was restricted everywhere and had no way to serve the country.

Because his family was engaged in business, he could not participate in the scientific examination, and he was ridiculed and driven away.

This paragraph focuses on "realism".

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to achieve a career, there were two options for entering the career path.

One is recommended by the nobles and comes from a famous family, such as Cui Hao in the movie, who was born in the top gate clan of the Tang Dynasty "Boling Cui clan".

It's a jinshi, or a top-of-the-line gate valve.

This can be seen in the Yellow Crane Tower store's placement of his poems in the most prominent places.

Of course, Cui Hao is also a talented great poet.

It's just that his origin provides more opportunities for him to enter the profession.

Another way is to participate in the imperial examination, which is also the best way for civilian children to get ahead.

After Li Bai was both the son of a merchant and a sinner, even if he learned it with a belly, he was not welcomed.

Gao Shi's childhood life was relatively difficult, and compared with the free-spirited Li Bai, his personal growth was more in line with ordinary people.

It's like the sentence in the movie, "You are an immortal, you want to go back to heaven; I am a man of the world, and I am in the world."

Obviously, the society at that time needed people like Gao Shi who were both civil and military, who could fight on the battlefield and defend the country.

The film reflects the history of the Tang Dynasty from the different trajectories of Gao Shi and Li Bai, and sincerity can be seen everywhere.

Back to "romanticism".

If it were all real history, the audience would have a lot less fun watching the movie.

The audience will feel a little rigid, after all, it is an animation, and the way of expression that can be used is far beyond the real person.

What impressed me was that Li Bai and several old friends of Gao Shi gathered together to sing about the wine.

This is also a famous scene in the movie.

According to the introduction of the film party, the film was polished for 3 years, and this scene alone took two and a half years.

The bright galaxy, the blue starry sky, after Li Bai got drunk, he flew with white cranes.

He also pulled Gao Shi and them together to soar in the galaxy.

Intertwined with Li Bai's anger, poetry, ambition and arrogance, the surreal technique is beautiful to the extreme.

Reading this poem before, although I would also be infected by Li Bai's pride and ambition, I always felt very abstract.

And the expression of this animation is vivid, vivid and freehand.

Also romantic, there is the scene of Li Bai Gaoshi playing a game in Chang'an Wine Store.

With classical poetry, the weather of the Tang Dynasty is vividly displayed.

This paragraph is also a combination of virtual and real.

Including the Zhezhi dance and Huxuan dance danced by the dancers, the details of which are traceable and stand up to scrutiny.

The fusion of romanticism and historicism brought the cultural life of the Tang Dynasty to the ground.

"Dapeng rose with the wind in one day and soared to 90,000 li."

In the early days of Lingyun's ambition, to the later sigh that "the light boat has passed ten thousand heavy mountains", Li Bai and Gao Shi embarked on a different road of life.

It also added a little melancholy to their experience.

Compared with the romance of Chang'an, the snowy Seibei is slightly lonely.

Old friends come together, from ambitious teenagers to dying old people.

Times are changing, and their ambition to serve the country will not change.

One of the great things about movies is that grandiose angles are set aside and see the big from the small.

In the form of biographies, the past that is closely related to the history of the Tang Dynasty is strung together.

A speck of dust of the times, falling on everyone is a mountain.

After the chaos, the Yellow Crane Tower was in ruins, but "poetry is there, Chang'an is there".

After chasing light to create mythical characters such as White Snake, Green Snake, Yang Jian, Nezha, etc., this time left the comfort zone and went deep into the historical context.

Handed over a relatively satisfactory answer, which is also a re-excavation and exploration of national comics.
