"Silver saddle photo ____, fluttering like a shooting star."
In the Xi'an Art Museum, Li Bai's poems jumped impressively on the huge white curtain, and on the side of the curtain on the ground, the options such as "White Horse", "Golden Hairpin" and "Earth" were listed, and the visitors completed the poem questions by stamping on the correct options and entered the next round of answers. Between the answers, the large screen flipped, and the ink style images of the heroes of the glory of the king, Li Bai, Shangguan Wan'er, Di Renjie, and Yang Yuhuan, gradually emerged.
The title of this work is "Chang'an Fengwuzhi - Qushui Liuqian", which is one of the exhibition works of the University Co-creation IP Art Exhibition jointly created by Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts and King Glory, and is completed by Jiang Zhihao, a graduate student of Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts. After getting the topic of Qu Shui Liu Qian, Jiang Zhihao and his team studied from the actual history, fit the image of the glorious character of the king, and finally presented an audio-visual interactive feast for the audience.
"In terms of content, we were divided into four characters, Li Bai, Shangguan Wan'er, Di Renjie, and Yang Yuhuan, created by students from different groups in the team, retaining their own styles; but the gameplay needed to be unified, and at the beginning the ideas of each group were very crazy, and we spent a lot of time on the unified ideas."
Wander through the background creative process
After determining the form of expression of the work, Jiang Zhihao's team carried out more detailed details, including the dynamic material of the background of each element, the choice of the content of the poem, etc., and the entire work cycle took them a month and a half.
"Li Bai, Shangguan Wan'er, Di Renjie, and Yang Yuhuan are all real in history, and the image in the glory of the king is also very close to reality, and the poems in the question bank are basically written by the characters themselves or describe their sentences." Jiang Zhihao's team started from the image of the king's glory hero and designed a unique way for each hero to appear, such as Li Bai's sword light, Yang Yuhuan's falling flowers and so on.

After the completion of the art materials, and then handed over to the programming students to achieve interactive needs, the prototype of the interactive device of the entire Qushui Flow Scene began to appear, and for Jiang Zhihao's team, it was only half a step. The main sensing facility for the live interaction of the work relies on the radar device next to the curtain, which scans to determine the fixed identification point to determine whether the participants have chosen the correct answer. During the 11-day exhibition, the team needed to constantly send people to update the question bank and maintain the site to ensure the perfect operation of the interactive device.
"The first time I've worked with so many of my classmates to complete this kind of work, I finally understand why the game is constantly patched." Jiang Zhihao said with a smile. In order to ensure the normal operation of the interactive device and continuously improve the works, Jiang Zhihao's team became the only creative team that was still "stationed" in the exhibition hall for a long time after the development. But there is no doubt that the exhibition process gave them a deeper understanding of the culture of Chang'an and the glory of the king, and also let them experience the charm of the art exhibition.

Ximei Graduation Season - King Glory Chang'an Fengwuzhi University Co-created IP Art Exhibition, focusing on the theme of King Glory Chang'an, as well as the three squares and three temples in ancient Chang'an in history, launched a wealth of associations and bold creations. In addition to showing the interactive installation of Quchifang' Qushui Flow, there are also miniature buildings of ChangleFang, frame-by-frame animation of Yingjiufang, three-dimensional animation of Dali Temple's mirror-like wall, shadow puppet animation of Hongxu Temple, organs of Yu Hengsi, etc., which perfectly reproduce the prosperous scene of ancient Chang'an.
Changle Fang miniature building
The audience that walked into the exhibition hall was full of students from major universities, and Wang from Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology was one of them, as a senior player of King of Glory, he was familiar with the background story of the game, and this time he also came to the exhibition with the theme of King's Glory IP.
"I feel that many of the works are far beyond the level of students." Mr. Wang sighed in surprise, especially the miniature building of Changle Fang, which left a very deep impression on him. He is very envious of Ximei's classmates to get the opportunity to co-create with the glory of the king, and he is eager to one day be able to truly reproduce the miniature models and plan to become a complete architectural group. "Glory of Kings is still constantly updating the game's backstory, and I believe there will be more things worth coming up with in the future."

Xiao C, who traveled to Xi'an with her parents, is studying architecture at Shijiazhuang Railway University, so the art museum is a must-visit for her and her parents on the road. She was very happy to see the exhibition of the glory of the king in the Xi'an Art Museum, and the distinctive Chang'an style in the work reminded her of the bell tower drum tower and the city wall that she had just played, "The Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts is too strong, can integrate the game elements into the design, and will not conflict with the theme of Chang'an, especially those organ people, looking particularly good." ”
Chang'an Fengwuzhi is the expansion and extension of the plot of CG "Chang'an That Never Sleeps" by King's Glory, and countless Chang'an theme creations have been harvested in the player co-creation competition launched in February this year. The graduation season series of the Academy of Fine Arts is the cooperation between the major art academies in the country after the co-creation of the whole people, from the perspective of the cooperative universities, let students break the teaching system under the fixed mode, truly hands-on practice, and obtain a complete experience from creation to exhibition, which has a very high value for talent training.
Cyberan One
Ximei graduation season - Chang'an Fengwuzhi is not the first time that The Glory of the King has cooperated with universities to create an IP art exhibition, but it is the first time to land in Xi'an to cooperate with local universities, when the ancient Chang'an culture collides with contemporary Xi'an, the blooming fireworks are undoubtedly full of charm. Just like the work titled "Cyber Chang'an" in this exhibition, it is full of cyberpunk style, integrating many landmark buildings in Xi'an into the architectural colors of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, bringing a strong visual impact to the viewer.
King glory light and shadow paper cut
"When the students got this IP for secondary creation, I was very touched, because for the first time I found that the game had such a deep and thorough understanding of our Chang'an culture." Yao Haolan, a teacher in the Department of Public Art at the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, said so.
In this exhibition, nearly 200 teachers and students from 10 majors of Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts participated in the co-creation, integrating murals, wood carvings, shadow puppets and other art forms, fitting the image of the glory of the king and heroes, and restoring and reproducing the story that happened in Chang'an City. The exhibition has ended, but for the group of graduating students of Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, it is only the beginning, out of the inherent teaching mode, in the future, they will use their imagination to create a more infectious world and enter a broader art hall.
