327. Domestic animation starts again

Domestic animations in the 1980s had nothing to do with children's education, and were more like "experimental" works.

A large number of animations with drawing styles and content that are not suitable for children have been released one after another.

This is not only the explosion of artistic creativity of a large number of authors after experiencing a special period under the historical conditions at that time. It is also because the loose policies allow creators to have full freedom.

The broadcast of "Tales from Heaven" was not a particularly eye-catching sensation in the late 1980s. However, the exquisite character settings and thrilling action scenes all told the Chinese people that this was a different story.

animation.

Quickly, this animation became a whirlwind across the country.

After watching the first episode, many people stayed in front of the TV early waiting for the second episode to air.

By the time of the tenth episode, it cannot be said that the crowds were empty, but most children below junior high school would go to other people's homes and squat in front of the TV to watch an episode of animation.

All the children were discussing what other Taoist teachings were in the Book of Heaven.

Which spell is more powerful, water spell, fire spell, or thunder spell?

The boys were discussing who was more powerful, Dan Sheng or Shangguan Sasuke.

The girls are discussing who is more handsome, Neji or Sasuke.

And adults are also paying attention and discussing whether the emergence of such a cartoon is a good thing or a bad thing.

It's still good and bad.

Experts and scholars wrote articles in newspapers, some praising and some criticizing.

For a time, this cartoon turned out to be a vehicle for debate. The core of the debate is: Is Chinese culture progressive or decadent?

As the Chinese people's horizons become increasingly broad, and they look at the world with their eyes straight, it has become a popular political correctness to open their mouths and be honest. However, China's culture, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is involuntarily associated with obsolescence and backwardness.

The emergence of this animation is a collision of current trends of thought. This collision has gone beyond the meaning that the cartoon wants to express, and is regarded by some people as an attack on Chinese culture.

position.

In fact, think about how ridiculous it is that a cartoon has become the focus of public opinion, and it is not even about whether children should watch it.

It's a question of whether this cartoon is correct.

Many media in Shanghai turned their attention to the animation company composed of retired employees of the American Film Studio, and handed the microphone to them, hoping to get an answer from their mouths.

But these old gentlemen have lived for most of their lives and have become masters of life. While talking about the difficulties of animation production, they never mentioned the things that reporters want to know.

Su Butong, knowing this situation, sent Lin Muyu to rescue the old gentlemen.

Lin Muyu is a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. His fluent English can definitely overwhelm those reporters.

Su Butong drafted a charter for Lin Muyu in response to reporters' questions: Chinese culture has a long history. Chinese culture emphasizes "the unity of nature and man" and "harmony without difference." This is different from the "exclusiveness" of Western culture. Chinese culture

It is pluralistic and unified, advocating inclusiveness. Therefore, the contribution that this kind of Chinese culture can make to human peace and development cannot be underestimated.

As soon as Lin Muyu's written interview transcript came out, the storm calmed down a lot. Many people discovered that Chinese culture has so many advantages through Lin Muyu, a person who has studied abroad. And this advantage is

that they had inadvertently ignored before.

In fact, Chinese people at this time are a little sensitive in their hearts. On the one hand, they are eager to gain recognition in the world, but on the other hand, they have low self-esteem and feel that they are being suppressed by others and cannot hold their heads high.

And it is often people who have studied abroad and returned to China who have more convincing arguments than local experts.

Lin Muyu wondered how Su Butong knew so much, and how he knew that giving an interview would suppress the controversy. Su Butong said self-deprecatingly: "Probably because foreign monks can recite sutras, and local monks recite sutras and people are

You should get used to hearing it." In fact, there are some words that Su Butong is holding back in his heart, and it is a bit unpleasant to say them out. Some Chinese people are kneeling on their knees at this time. This is caused by this historical stage, but there is no need to deny it, because the national power is poor and weak.

, making the people seem less confident spiritually. Material and spirituality never exist alone. Only when material is sufficient can we have spiritual self-confidence.

"If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace." Only when people live a good life can they take into account the spiritual level.

Therefore, envying the West is the most normal thing nowadays. After all, "the dung forks used in the West are all made of gold."

Talking about the animation itself, due to Su Butong's own bad taste, "Tales from the Heavenly Book" was adapted into a passionate youth animation that is similar to upgrading and fighting monsters, and having a dream of friendship. Therefore, after "The Tales from the Heavenly Book" was broadcast, a lot of people

A large number of follow-up works have also been produced one after another, but the quality varies greatly, and is far from as exquisite as the animations produced by Mr. Sheng and others.

Even because of the reputation of Wan Lao and Sheng Lao, Japanese TV stations heard about it and came to purchase the rights to broadcast the animation in Japan. The person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Culture Department even wrote about the matter after learning about it.

It was included in the year-end summary and counted as a political achievement.

And "Book of Heavenly Stories" also set a precedent: broadcast on a seasonal basis.

After all 25 episodes of the first season were played, a preview for the next season was displayed on the screen.

Shangguan Sasuke, Yun Ying and Dan Sheng, led by Teacher Qikasi, started to go to the Kingdom of Bridges, and they were going to take the intermediate Taoist priest exam to prepare for the subjugation of demons.

Children and adults who have almost finished watching the trailer are impatient to watch the second season of the animation, and many letters are mailed to the animation company from all over the country, with several sacks of letters arriving every week.

In this way, these old gentlemen feel extremely excited, because they use their actions to prove that they are not old yet, and many people still like the animations they make.

That year, "Tales from Heaven" was selected as one of the ten outstanding domestic animations, ranking first.

One month later, the highly anticipated "Kirby Dream Fountain" DEMO began internal testing.

Subutong has been eyeing Kirby's IP since 1985, but the early War Dragons' technical reserves and talents were not enough to support Kirby's ability to absorb and copy. This ability determines Kirby's soul.

.So Subutong can wait.

Finally, this year, developers with experience in arcade development created the ability to absorb and copy.

Therefore, Kirby can copy 20 abilities of the little monsters in the game. Since this level is not very difficult, obtaining new monster abilities becomes an incentive for players. Various terrains and various monsters are full of fun.
