At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when new ideas and new things were conceived and created, nostalgic for the past and longing for the future, Paris in the golden age "met" a mixed-race princess from the South Pacific island country - Di Lili, and thus a fantasy adventure story occurred.
This is the wonderful story brought by the french national treasure animation film director Michel O'Silo's new work "Di Lili's Fantastic Paris". In addition to the touching story of this film scheduled for December 21, the artistic aesthetic and value orientation shown by the film are also amazing. For Chinese audiences, the surprise is not only "Di Lili's Fantasy Paris" landing in Chinese theaters, director Michelle Oslo will also come to China to chat with the audience "zero distance" about the girl Di Lili and her story, and the French aesthetic behind it that amazes the world.
In the story of director Michel O'Silo, there are many eccentric, brave and righteous protagonists, who are either the little boy who fights monsters and witches in the "Twitter" series, or the mixed-race girl Di Lili who breaks into Paris alone this time: this young girl, who is not familiar with life, wears an elegant French dress, overcomes the language barrier, learns fluent French, meets the versatile courier friends, "passes" all the way, meets the most outstanding minds of the times, and finally achieves a righteous act.
With the issue of "justice will eventually triumph over evil", which resonates with everyone, it shows the whole picture of Paris in the golden age of art nouveau; with the heroic deeds of little girls, it shows the pursuit of a better life by people from different regions, which is the cultural energy carried by "Di Lili's Fantasy Paris".
Aesthetic self-consistency Create exquisite French romance with a new style
"Di Lili's Fantasy Paris" is exquisitely painted and exquisitely produced, the romantic French style and new art feelings can be seen on the screen, and the seamless connection between the real scenery and the three-dimensional animated characters opens the door to a new horizon for the audience. Based on the famous and cultural sites of the city of Paris, the popular Notre Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, the Seine River... The camera jumps all the way from the air to the ground scenery, and even the dark sewers become an important part of Michelle's construction of the 19th-century Paris landscape. Culture, folklore, and traction adventure stories, what kind of sparks will collide between the "wild" girl Di Lili and modern civilization? It will be interesting to see.
This time, director Michelle Oslo traveled to China to use "Di Lili's Fantasy Paris" as a bridge to perfectly integrate artistic aesthetics and animated films, completing another exciting collision of Eastern and Western cultures. Introduced by China Film Group Corporation, distributed by China Film Co., Ltd., produced by Northwest Company of France, and translated and produced by Shanghai Film (Group) Company Shanghai Film Translation factory, the sincere work "Di Lido Fantasy Paris" will land in theaters nationwide on December 21.
It is worth mentioning that both the costume design of the characters and the scenery in a corner of the city combine the excellent aesthetic of director Michelle and the French romance it carries. Behind this irreproducible style is his insistence on painting characters in pure and unified colors, and shaping emotional conflicts with color collisions and contrasts. In his new work "Di Lili's Fantasy Paris", he once again used color magic to the extreme, and the character "color cards" were readily available, which could present a rich character map to the audience.
Such a harmonious and diverse cultural fusion comes from the director Michel's long-term study of different national cultures, born on the French Riviera, who spent most of his childhood in Guinea, West Africa, and the local customs and customs left a mark on his heart. Therefore, his animation works contain the breadth and breadth of the integration and symbiosis of different ethnic groups and the presentation of cultural diversity. The presentation of African style in the series of animations, the transnational friendship between French and North African youth in "Azul and Asmar", and the Paris adventures of the mixed-race little girl Di Lili in "Di Li Li's Fantasy Paris" are all his reflections and reproductions of the collision of exotic cultures.
