0323 [Fire]
China's time zone is 13 hours late than the US time zone. When "Kung Fu Panda" had already ravaged North America, the midnight show in mainland China finally came as the audience looked forward to it.
The old man who was allowed to go to the countryside to buy tickets also took his grandson who had just learned piano and rushed into the cinema.
"Hoho."
Abao kicked the screen and cracked the logo of Abao's animation. The old man's young grandson immediately laughed. This logo is a new symbol for North American audiences, but for Chinese audiences, they are already familiar with it and can't be familiar anymore.
The "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series and the "Qin Time Moon" series are all this logo.
"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has been released, the second one in 2005 "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Strange World Battle" was released, and the third one in 2007 "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Big Wolf: The Games of Goat and Big Big Wolf" was released. Major TV stations across the country took turns to bombard, and they were in a state of being brainwashed adults and children.
Moreover, even those who don’t watch TV can’t resist the Pleasant Goat series. This is a must-have cartoon on the bus. People who go to and from get off work every morning and evening, even if they close their eyes, can hear Big Big Wolf’s exaggerated laughter and classic quotes: “I’ll be back.”
This cartoon has become a national-level cartoon.
Adults and children are all aware of it. Many adults expressed disdain at first, but as they looked, they actually felt that they could watch it with relish. Children are even more amazing. They watch Pleasant Goat on time every day, buy food and drink, have Pleasant Goat brand, buy clothes, and have Pleasant Goat pattern. Pleasant Goat dolls. Pleasant Goat’s kettle, Pleasant Goat’s schoolbag, and so on.
"The Moon of Qin" is going to be more low-key, with a low output. In 2004, "The Moon of Qin: The Moon of Qin: The Story of Jing Ke" and "The Moon of Qin: The Flying Sword of Hundred Steps of the Flying Sword of Qin", and in 2006, "The Moon of Qin: The Night of the Moon of Qin: The Dawn of the Sky", with only 29 episodes in total.
However, this cartoon with Wan Xiaohu personally titled the director, gathered a large number of fans of crazy people. Unlike the previous trajectory, this film directed by Wan Xiaohu has a greater investment and a primary focus on technical development, and its output is indeed not high. However, the quality is absolutely superior.
It is a rare domestic animation production that promotes history and culture, and is also broadcast in turn on major TV stations.
With such popularity, the logo of Abao animation is naturally well known.
Like the old man’s grandson, almost as soon as the logo came out, many children brought by adults started screaming in the cinema. They already had an impression that this logo represents a good cartoon.
Cultivate movie fans. Start with the baby.
When Wan Xiaohu created Abao animation, he was not without ambition. American Disney animation and DreamWorks animation were popular all over the world and influenced many children. China also needed its own Disney to compete with Western civilization and cultural input from children.
It can be imagined that as long as Abao animation continues to maintain its current development momentum, in the hearts of Chinese children, it is not a luxury to grow into China's Disneyland and DreamWorks. Moreover, with Wan Xiaohu's wealth now, it is not difficult to support a domestic animation brand.
Now he still copies some classic Hollywood animations and accumulates family business and reputation. In the future, he will definitely develop towards originality and make various types of cartoons in Chinese culture.
With the end of the familiar logo, "Kung Fu Panda" officially started to laugh all over the audience. The children saw Abao and felt it was very fun, and the adults were also attracted by the simple stories and beautiful background. The old man was over the age of funny, and did not laugh with others, but was amazed.
"It's done well, painted well, and the lines are good. It's amazing, including Lao Zhuang's philosophy!"
The old man is a tasteful old man. Although he has been working in the factory for his whole life, he also likes to dabble in Chinese studies and other content. In his opinion, the details of "Kung Fu Panda" are perfect, including Hanfu, hats, archways, temples, noodles, tofu, firecrackers, sedan chairs, buns, and even patterns on porcelain.
All of them reveal the customs and customs of ancient China.
After a movie, others applauded warmly because they were satisfied with laughter. The old man clapped his hands and felt sincerely happy for such an outstanding cartoon.
"Okay, great!"
The old man pulled his reluctant grandson. As soon as he walked to the hall, he saw the beautiful reporter who had interviewed him before. The beautiful reporter obviously also noticed the old man, walked over quickly and asked about the old man's experience of watching the movie. So the old man said these five words.
"Old man, can you tell me in detail, what's the best?"
The little grandson answered: "It looks good, Bao is so fat and cool, hoho, the big dragon can't beat him! The cute tiger is also powerful, and the golden monkey is the most handsome mantis." After saying that, he still wanted to imitate a piece of Chinese kung fu.
The old man quickly grabbed his grandson. He shouldn't have run around, for fear of being dispersed by the surging crowds. Then he said to the reporter: "This movie is beyond my expectations. At first I thought it was also a very simple cartoon like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf". But its picture is too exquisite, just like it is true. No wonder I heard a young man in the aisle just now that Wan Xiaohu had been preparing for this for several years to prepare for technical preparations. This technology is too strong."
"Yes, when Director Wan founded Abao Animation Studio in 2002, he had the idea of filming "Kung Fu Panda". At that time, he planned to direct "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Qin Shi Mingyue" to practice, which made it today's exciting." The reporter nodded.
Then he looked at the camera and popularized his knowledge: "But we also need to see that many technical links of "Kung Fu Panda" were outsourced to Hollywood's DreamWorks Animation Studio. Director Wan Xiaohu once admitted in an interview two years ago that Abao's animation technology was five years behind Hollywood before filming "Kung Fu Panda". He hoped that after filming, he could catch up with Hollywood's first-class level. We believe that Abao's animation must have done it!"
The old man was not very satisfied with his words being interrupted by the reporter, but fortunately the reporter returned to him: "The technology of this movie is nothing to say, but what I admire most is its thoughts, including Laozi's philosophy. I think this old turtle looks like Laozi's incarnation. The panda has the shadow of Zhuangzi."
"Lao and Zhuangzi's philosophy?" The reporter was stunned. An animation could even be brought to Lao and Zhuangzi. Lao and Zhuangzi were both ancient Chinese thinkers.
The old man looked as if he was taken for granted: "Have you seen it? I only saw it once. But I felt it very profound. When you looked at this turtle's selection of the Dragon Hero, he didn't know that the panda would come at first, so he stretched out his fingers. At this time, the panda fell down and he said that the panda was the Dragon Hero. I felt that this turtle is the principle of my inaction. His point is not for purpose. It is not for anyone, but for whom."
Then, the old man talked about his thoughts in front of the camera. It is hard for this old man, Liu is seventy years old and has such a good memory.
"Look at what the turtle said to the panda, he said, 'Give up? Don't give up? Make noodles, don't make noodles. You are too concerned about what has not happened yet. As the saying goes. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift from heaven, so it is called this time.' This statement has the taste of passive avoidance, but it has a kind of indifference to the world. Let it go with the flow and take nature as its own principle."
"I was thinking again, why did Wan Xiaohu arrange for the giant panda to become the dragon hero? Because giant panda is the most ideal personified animal in Taoism, its fur is either black or white, which is consistent with the black and white yin and yang of Taoism. Why is a turtle a master? Because the turtle is slow, it will take more time to think, it will be indifferent to fame and fortune, and it will conform to the Taoist Taoism. Therefore, the turtle is Laozi and the panda is Zhuangzi. It is such a truth. I have watched many movies in this regard, and no domestic movie has been explained. In other words, none of the cartoons they made have connotations."
"Look at the secret book of the Dragon Hero, there is nothing, why is it blank? Because of its Taoist theory, Wuji gives birth to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to Liangyi, and then all things in the world are born. Without secret book, it is a secret book!"
"I don't know if it's my excessive interpretation. The turtle represents Taoism, and the master represents Confucianism. Confucius learned Lao Tzu's Taoism, and he obtained his own Taoism. Therefore, the master does not believe in the turtle's hero. He has five disciples. I think it can represent the five constants of Confucianism, "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness". He manages the valley and can be regarded as a world ruled by Confucianism. Then the big dragon can represent the Legalists, and he focuses on obtaining secret books at all costs."
"Taoism, Confucianism and Legalism can be said to be the three most profound masters in China. My grandson likes to watch "The Moon of Qin" which is about the stories of "The Legend of the Confucianism". I think when Wan Xiaohu directed these cartoons, his thoughts were inherited, and "Kung Fu Panda" was more obscure."
"He has a very important portrayal of Taoism. When the old turtle passed away, his paintings of peach blossoms left with the wind. This is the Taoist proposition. All things originate from Tao and return to Tao. This is very similar to Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou", as if they understand life and death, and face everything calmly. Look at Master again, I don't know why Master is a raccoon, but his style is very similar to Confucianism. Confucianism emphasizes deep understanding of righteousness and goes to death with generous help. Look at Master, he still stays resolutely even though he knows that staying to stop the dragon will die."
"Another words, look at the beginning, did the master have many distracting thoughts. He did not believe in pandas and was worried about the big dragon. He kept his trust and respected. Although he did not trust pandas, he still taught him carefully. He felt like a corrupt scholar and was very stubborn. But after the panda defeated the big dragon, the master said that I found peace in my heart. What is peace is Tao? He no longer needs to consider for the dog and flies. He understood how to control inaction, like a turtle, let it go. It can be seen here that Wan Xiaohu admires Taoism very much..."
"Wow, thank you for your analysis. It's so wonderful. Uncle, are you a master of Chinese studies?" The reporter sincerely exclaimed.
"It's nothing else, I just love Chinese studies!" The old man smiled implicitly.
After saying that, the old man hurried home with his grandson. What he didn't know was broadcast by the local TV station. His words were seen by the editor of mtime Time and quickly posted the video of the program on Time.
And gave the top of the homepage, with a shiny title: "The uncle understands Wan Xiaohu the best."
In an instant, like "Kung Fu Panda", the old man became popular. (To be continued...)
