The short-legged aesthetic of "Chang'an 30,000 Li" has attracted controversy, and it has been questioned to ugly the Chinese people, and I will cry out for it!
Recently, the film industry is really lively, "Disappearing Her" has made Chen Sicheng a lot of money, "In the Octagon" has allowed Wang Baoqiang to achieve a word-of-mouth counterattack, and "Feng Shen" spent 3 billion to smash out super-burning special effects.
In the summer of "Immortal Fight", the domestic animation movie "Chang'an 30,000 Li" has become a dark horse, and after continuous fermentation of word of mouth, nearly 200,000 people scored a high score of 8.2.
So far, it has won 800 million box office, and even surpassed other films, winning the box office championship for many consecutive days, which can be said to be the latecomer.
This film mainly unfolds from Gao Shi's perspective, through his memories, to tell the deep friendship between himself and Li Bai, and in the end, people find that the two who shone brightly in the long river of history are just disappointed in their personal fate.
After watching the movie, many people were moved and competed for "tap water" and recommended it to friends around them, but there were still a small number of people, but on the contrary, they felt that this was ugly the countrymen, what is going on?
How did Li Bai become like this?
In fact, as early as when the movie released the trailer, some people already complained that the character modeling was too ugly, and Li Bai was not related to it at all, and felt that it would affect the viewing experience.
After entering the cinema, I didn't expect that there were bigger slots, the proportions of the characters in the movie were extremely incongruous, the legs were short and the body was long, and even the belt was tied below the crotch.
The horse in the movie is a round and rolling look, looking very bulky, not at all like a brisk galloping horse, which makes people wonder if it can run.
Li Bai, who is amorous in everyone's hearts, has now shaped into this awkward appearance, which will naturally cause dissatisfaction among many people, and feel that it is uncomfortable to see it lightly.
Some people even suspect that this is the film party deliberately shaping Li Bai into this "dwarfism" to mock the short legs of the Chinese people and raise the nature to the national level.
That's a bit too wrong.
The aesthetic differences of different eras
The image of the characters in the movie with long legs and short legs is indeed "deliberate" by the film creation team, but it is by no means a reason for this kind of self-speculation.
Instead, it just reflects the intentions of the production team, who specially went to the museum to investigate and decided to use the Tang Figurine as a reference image for the movie characters.
At that time, the Tang Dynasty people admired Kong Wu and felt that the upper body was too long and would make them look very majestic, and they thought it was beautiful. The film restores their image of long and short, which actually reflects a kind of respect and awe for history.
Therefore, many images in the movie can actually be found in the original form in the museum.
According to the film production team, the five-headed Tang Figurines are not much surprised, and some exaggerated Tang Figurines are even four-headed bodies.
The character belt in the movie is tied so close to it, also to restore the true appearance of the Tang Warrior.
The director believes that the emphasis on the upper body can better show the confidence of the Tang Dynasty, and this rich beauty can better reflect the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Similarly, the round horse inside refers to Tang Sancai, and it is not designed by the production team at will.
Even Li Bai, who was ridiculed for being too ugly at the beginning, can see a bit of divine similarity from traditional painting.
Such a well-intentioned movie has been speculated and questioned by some people, which is really a disaster without presumption.
When we look at these characters today, we feel strange, ugly, and awkward, in fact, because with the changes of the times, the mainstream aesthetic orientation has changed.
We all know that the Tang Dynasty was based on fat for beauty, and the beauty of "ring fat" arose in the Sheng Tang Dynasty, and this kind of rich and gorgeous image ran through various art works such as paintings and sculptures in the Tang Dynasty.
But before the Tang Dynasty, what was admired was the slender and slender posture, and even the early Tang Dynasty still adhered to the legacy of the previous generation, such as "slender waist makes the bright moon" and "small waist beautiful woman wins people" and other poems can prove that slenderness was beautiful at that time.
Not only fashion is a reincarnation, aesthetics is also a reincarnation, now our society's "white and thin" aesthetics, must be beautiful? Are the big eyes and long legs we are looking for really good-looking? If the people of Sheng Tang looked at us in turn, they might also think that we were ugly.
National comics should not walk on thin ice
In fact, due to the controversial domestic anime with its characters, "Chang'an 30,000 Li" is not the first and should not be the last.
At the beginning of this year, the animated short film "Chinese Qitan" threw out "Wang Fried", which is composed of eight separate short stories, and now maintains a high score of 8.7 under the rating of more than 200,000 people.
Unexpectedly, while having a super high reputation, it has also brought a lot of controversy, and some parents only want to lock their children in the "ivory tower", so this ironic reality animation was unanimously considered by them to be not in line with the child's mental health, so they reported it.
In addition, "Chinese Wonders" has also been judged by many patriots, who feel that the third short story "Lin Lin" is outside the lofty yang, because the protagonist Lin Lin has the "squinting eyes" of ugly Chinese people.
But take a closer look, the upturned corners of the protagonist Lin Lin's upturned eyes and narrow eyes, isn't this the Danfeng eye in our classical aesthetic? When she rounded her eyes, such big eyes, who was kind enough to say that she was "squinting".
The earlier release of "Lion Boy" was even more controversial that year, and the evaluation formed a polarization, because the character image in the movie is very different from the shape of other movie characters, and the protagonist in it has squinted eyes, collapsed nose, and wide eye distance.
The piling up of so many unfavorable elements naturally caused a lot of controversy, plus "squinting" has repeatedly caused an uproar in photographic advertisements.
As a result, many people rushed to express their anger, feeling that this was a deliberate attempt to defame and smear the image of the countrymen.
The director team of "Lion Boy" said that such an unbeautiful design is actually to break the domination and entrapment of Chinese aesthetics by Internet celebrity faces and Japanese comic aesthetics, and the same big eyes on TV cannot be called cultural confidence.
Therefore, some netizens agreed, feeling that adhering to the aesthetics of big eyes and high nose bridge is an arbitrary "aesthetic bullying", but reflects the inner inferiority.
In addition, some netizens said that they just felt that this character image was simply ugly, a failed work of art, and should not pull any new aesthetics.
Despite constant controversy, "Lion Boy" has gained the approval of most people, with 480,000 people scoring a high score of 8.3.
There are also many netizens who have seen it believe that the provoker of this controversy is many people who have not even seen the movie, and if they have seen it, they will know that the lion will not care about the size of the eyes, and movies that show the spirit of the times should not fall into the quagmire of humiliation.
In fact, it doesn't mean that you can't spit on national comics, everyone has their own aesthetics, and it's not too much to feel that it doesn't conform to their own aesthetic complaining. Originally, this is a work for the public, and it is essential to consider the public's aesthetics and accept public criticism.
However, we also need to leave space for literary and artistic works to create, the kind of hats that can not be moved, this kind of speech that rises to the level of ugliness and humiliation of China, we should think twice before acting, so as not to chill the hearts of national comic creators.
Finally, I wish the country a splendid grand and better development!
