Actually, the theme of "Children Chasing Lost Stars" is quite good. Mysterious mineral radio. The relics of the father who has never met. The underground clans of unknown civilization, etc.~ If there is a good screenwriter and a good director. This film is definitely on top of "Silver-haired Archid" and even comparable to Hayao Miyazaki's early works. It's a pity that Xin Haicheng didn't even explain the world view clearly, so I thought at first that I would go directly to the underworld when I went underground. Seeing that the teacher is still smoking, I can still smoke in the underworld! ! Later, it was discovered that the underground is considered to be an environment left over from the ancient times. The setting is a bit like the Nausicaa Sky City Princess Mononoke. In the end, there is a gate of death that needs to pay the price to resurrect the dead. This is not a systemic setting from the previous setting; in addition, setting the soul to a viscous green liquid, a small piece of green grass under the starry sky, and what do you think of the previous scene of the war? Decisively "Howl's Moving Castle", this Nima is the third world view setting! Coupled with the real-world settings similar to "The Slope of Poppies", brother! All four worldviews are set up, dare you to unify the worldview? Who can make trouble in such a mess~ It is not easy for Xin Haicheng to tell such a good setting into such a bad story~
The previous long stories "The other side of the cloud, the place of promise" and "5 cm per second" are either light SF or Chi Guoguo. The real world is more likely to resonate, coupled with the theme of love and his extremely beautiful picture rendering power. Can move people's hearts. This time, although he can see his determination to challenge himself to complete a fantasy story of nearly 2 hours~ but it is really a failure, the ability to grasp the story has not improved at all. I found him from "She and Her Cat" before. It’s a bitter man and a plot. It’s a good solution to find someone who is good at character design to pull in the team. "The other side of the cloud, the place of agreement" is only one hour. "5 cm per second" is basically a MV. So the plot It doesn't matter if you work hard. Xin Haicheng's current level is suitable for a team like GHIBLI as a background painting supervisor and cooperating with good scripters and directors for a few years. He learns how to tell stories by himself, and then becomes a screenwriter and director by himself. Either honestly do short stories and MV CM categories and then get involved in long stories. By the way, I am looking forward to Wu Lang’s "The Slope of Poppies". The story of the last time "Legend of the Earth and Sea" is also disillusioned enough. The plot of Mi Lin Hongchang's "Arietti" is also super flat. Before "The Slope of Poppies" After reading the settings, I feel pretty good, and I hope it is a good expectation.
