After seeing Qing Snake Jieqi, I was still hesitating whether to watch it or not, but the result was unexpectedly good-looking. It is very suspected that the green snake is processed by a foundry, because the problems that appear in the green snake are almost absent in the white snake. Take expressions as an example, the richness of the expressions of the characters in the white snake is remarkable. I can't understand why the green snake looks so ghostly. But the green snake in this drama is very good, that kind of fighting and ruthless feeling, the white snake that feels like a complaint. I thought it was the production team that preferred the white snake, but obviously the green snake looks better, and the white snake's appearance is still almost.
By the way, in the original book, the green snake is a male carp turned into a female fairy.
The opening lightning strike, I like this style very much, the ink animation is quite good, because ink painting focuses on freehand brushwork, and it is not opportunistic to say that it is opportunistic to put it in some fragments that cannot express the meaning. It has even become a basic and mature narrative device.
The design of this big snake from a white snake to a snake is so good! Although it can be seen that there is a shadow of the western axolotl, as long as there is no shadow of a dragon, I think it is a breakthrough. It is too difficult for a snake to become a dragon. A few forms are not fragrant, even if I recognize the final dragon transformation, but I just want to see the ghost appearance of the dragon, the dragon, the snake, the snake, or the transitional state before the dragon transformation. The feeling of the female boss turning into a snake is not good. The classic Japanese villain monster image (I guess), I hope the production team can go to the reptile illustrations to draw inspiration, the strange animals on the earth and the strange color matching are too There are more, I think it is better to take a few novels and put them into the animation, so that people can see a kind of spectacle - wow, you can still look like this - I feel a little bit in the white snake. I don't know why the villain doesn't have a nose. Why don't you have a nose if you don't mention the texture of the skin? There is a book called "The History of Ugly", which contains all kinds of strange ugly people. Although it is not that the villain must be ugly, how to give the villain power through ugliness is also an ability. . The villain's spells, paper figures, spirit banners, etc. I think are good. I don't know much about these. It is a wonder to me, especially the image of the crane is used, which is really good! These are enough for me to be optimistic for a while, and I think it is a very exciting part. There is also a group of snakes. I can vaguely see that there are different kinds of snakes. This is still very careful, but I think it can be a step closer. For humans, humans are primates, the family Homo, and the genus Homo. Snakes belong to the order. Under the order, there are families, genus, and species, which are very changeable. Said, why should there be scales on the face after becoming a human, and the scales are in the same position, I think if possible, we can imagine what this kind of snake looks like if it becomes a human according to the characteristics of different snakes, and what is the other one? It looks like, even if it turns into a human in the end, can it still have the original characteristics of the face and the like when it is not completely human, not just the scales. Of course this is nitpicking.
The choice of the wooden pagoda is really very good, because the wooden pagoda is a kind of building with Chinese characteristics, and it is difficult to retain because it is made of wood, but this is something with very Chinese characteristics, which many Chinese may not I know, because there are too few relics left. I still think that the production team really paid attention to the use of wooden towers. It's a pity that snakes don't have fire attribute magic, otherwise the collision between wooden buildings and flame magic will really be very exciting, just like the snake in the film should be ice magic, if you can fight more on the water or in the water, I think it will be more Aspect. Wind magic should be played in a foggy place. I think the visual effect would be better.
The scenery is really frame-by-frame screenshots, very beautiful, maple leaves, the meeting of the gorge, the lights of thousands of houses, etc. I even suspect that some clips are the foreshadowing of those few frames of pictures. The design of looking for that shop is also very good. The gloomy texture is really made. The traditional Chinese ghost movie is in the woods, and this is the atmosphere. I really feel like I have learned something, especially from the Walking out of a shop where a wicked person is a person and a demon business is completely in line with the feeling that it was a normal shop before entering, and that it changed suddenly when you came out. The store itself is also a special place to stand out. The two-faced fox and two little licking dogs (looked very familiar and should have adopted similar settings in Hayao Miyazaki's animation) are very harmonious. I don't know why these things are very incongruous when they look at the green snake. . They went to the disc and turned the disc, and they went to the storefront for other businesses. This design has ingenuity in it, and the reverse of the yin and yang polarities is acceptable to me. One turn is underground, and through water as a medium, water in Constantine can be used as a medium to reach hell. I don’t know if there is such a setting in Eastern mythology, but because I have seen the setting of "Constantine", it counts. Get me hi.
The fighting scenes are really exciting. Several fight scenes are dizzying. The fighting methods have changed, and the presentation of mana is also wonderful, including umbrella fluttering, mana materialization and so on. Of course, I also hope that the production team can come up with more tricky fighting methods, such as erecting scales or using the physiological characteristics of snake fangs, infrared sensors, and warm-blooded animals as the source of their mana, just like using entanglement to fight attack.
As a male, I am very cool, the director understands it very well, but a little bit. The director knows what this group of LSPs like to watch, and I am very satisfied with what they give. I have no doubt that there will be a book of the same series. The director has done it very restrained, but I think it is still too revealing. For example, I was hugging in the temple to keep warm, and when I went to the store, the fox said that it was skin-to-skin. I thought it was already done, but the director disappeared. I didn’t expect that there was a lingering scene at the bottom of the tower. A bit redundant. The lingering drama uses flames to symbolize the surging fire, why bother? The two kissed each other and explained it in the next paragraph. I don't think it is necessary, but I think it can be a little bolder. Don't slap and linger in this part, use something instead of ink to paint the two people. The process of lingering is drawn, even from lingering to exiting the tower, adults can understand it, children are inexplicable, and both win.
The director cut a lot of things, and always went directly to the next scene with a black screen. I don’t know why it affected the smoothness of the movie, and many places were counter-intuitive, which made me extremely uncomfortable, and some of the action logic was incoherent , I will have the feeling of a play.
As a McGuffin, I think the hairpin is good, and the screenwriter has done it well.
One last word. The whole story is not like a narrative essay, but rather like a narrative prose. It is beautiful to read but it tests the editing skills of the screenwriter. This part is still flawed, and it can even be said to be a drag. If it is done better, I believe Movies can go out of the circle and even serve as the main force in the propaganda representing traditional Chinese culture.
I hope that the screenwriter will make persistent efforts, and the production team will absorb talents from different majors: talents in zoology, archaeology, ancient architecture, religion, etc., to enrich the film's background, although it is an animated film, it can also become very hardcore!
come on!
