China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 392 Artwork

"Can't understand "Sky Eagle Warrior"? This explanation will help you understand it in one go!"

"What kind of charm makes this science fiction animation comparable to "The Matrix"?"

"Triple Metaphors in Episode 20 of the Sci-Fi Animation "Aquila Warriors"."

"Why is it named Aquila? What does AOC mean? My bold guess."

"Sky Eagle: Perhaps the most complete apostolic information on the entire Internet, the eighteen apostles are analyzed one by one."

"Take you through an episode of "Aquila Warrior" in one minute!"

"No more pretense, let me tell you what a psychologist really felt after watching "Sky Eagle Warrior"!"

"A.T's position? The wall of the heart? An in-depth explanation of why only mentally ill people can drive AOC!"

After the final episode of "Aquila Warrior" was aired, all the settings of the entire story, including the high concepts that amazed the audience, were fully revealed, and finally sparked a lot of heated topics on the Internet.

Teenagers' feelings of loneliness and lack are infinitely magnified, so talents need to be "completed."

The 2015 "Space Battleship" was already relatively out of the ordinary, and it was also a 3D animation, but it still couldn't compare with "Sky Eagle".

In addition, the Douban score rose directly from 9.5 to 9.7 within two days after the finale aired, making it the highest-scoring domestic animation work in history.

Such a sound has naturally attracted the interest of many netizens who are not very interested in animation. They all go to streaming media to see what is so magical about this animation. Can it compare with "The Matrix"?

Under such a virtuous cycle, "Sky Eagle Warrior" naturally completely broke out of the circle.

And this animation really gave him a big surprise.

[...All the protagonists in the animation have relatively tragic childhood stories, but these stories are not given as story settings at the beginning, but slowly emerge as the plot deepens. This is in line with the protagonists' spirit.

The gradual deepening of the dilemma is simultaneous.

There is no beautiful vision of "congratulations on becoming an adult", there is only the reality of seeing yourself clearly and continuing to love yourself and others.

The significance lies in guiding more possibilities for the future development of Chinese animation.

The process is almost the same as "The Walking Dead".

But there is still a feeling of being taller than a short one, that is, it is remarkable that animation themes can be achieved in this way. It can be seen as an attempt by cultural product manufacturers represented by DreamWorks to explore the depth of animation.

Whether it is a large amount of psychoanalysis, psychological metaphors, or animation composition storyboards, extensive use of shadows, or even this kind of psychoanalysis is achieved through many stream of consciousness storyboards.

Animation that achieves this level is worthy of the evaluation of a work of art】

High-quality word-of-mouth dramas such as "The Walking Dead" and "Sky Warriors" are disseminated through short videos. Once they gain momentum, they can form an unstoppable trend and cover a diverse range of users across ages and regions.

Otherwise, it is unlikely that he would watch ordinary animated dramas. At least it would have to be a non-stop animated film in theaters to inspire him to watch it.

But it did not change his view on animation. There is nothing very profound in "The Great Sage". After all, it is aimed at children or teenagers. It is difficult to explore more serious propositions, and it is difficult to truly reach the level of film art.

The attention this time is stronger than that of "Battleship".

Obviously, all the clues were revealed in the last episode, which really raised the tone and evaluation of the entire animation. This allowed many people to highly recommend it on social media after watching it and unable to suppress their excitement.

On the one hand, AOCs, as Adam's body, are a key point in the plot; on the other hand, they are the stage where the protagonists undergo mental changes and psychological conflicts. Whenever the camera shows the insertion of the plug, we know the psychological monologue.

When the time comes, the enclosed space is the breeding ground of the subconscious mind.

After the finale came out, fans of "Aquila Warrior" have confidently discarded the word "animation" and directly characterized this work as a science fiction masterpiece.

It is no longer just a work limited to anime fans or acg community discussion.

"Skyhawk" completely changed his view. He was also attracted by this animation during a conversation with his colleagues. He watched it with the idea that it was produced by DreamWorks after all, and even if it wasn't that good, it wouldn't be a surprise.

of.

But even so, it became DreamWorks' most popular animated series in a short period of time.

This kind of application of what can be considered the most cutting-edge and obscure technique in film art to an animation is enough to make people marvel at the courage of DreamWorks, the genius of the screenwriter, and the excellent control of the director.

But when it came to "Sky Eagle", this appreciation turned into exclamation.

In my eyes, the bolted cockpit is a stage for psychological struggle.

Images are naturally more appealing than words, or they can convey appeal and express ideas as quickly as possible.

When the story advances to 16 episodes, you will suddenly feel that the inner narratives of some of the previous characters are not exaggerated, and their pain is so fragile and reasonable.

Amid such high reviews, "Aquila Warrior" has continued to gain popularity after its completion and has become a hot topic.

Jiang Yong never thought that he would be writing a film review for an animated series so soon after "The Great Sage" at the beginning of the year.

Therefore, compared with long-form movie reviews, short videos that only last a few minutes, with pictures and audio, have a qualitative leap in their ability to spread information.

It is inspiring and encouraging that Chinese animation has caught up with Hollywood's high-level animated films.

Naturally, "Aquila Warrior" cannot be compared with "The Walking Dead". The dissemination of 2D animation is inherently insufficient, especially in China, and it does not have the same curious shots and images as the zombie apocalypse.

This animated science fiction work with an ordinary name has gradually emerged from the industry on a small scale and is showing signs of completely exiting the industry.

The most direct impact is that DreamWorks has entered the project approval process for the live-action movie version of "Aquila Warrior".

In addition, there are many public figures, and big Vs also strongly recommend this work on social media.

Live-action movies can generate the greatest commercial value. After all, China is not Japan, and there is no tradition of everyone watching animation from old to young. This is not something that DreamWorks can cultivate.

This is a psychological education work about teenagers with various psychological problems trying to make up for their shortcomings, finally accepting themselves and learning to face reality.

Short video platforms have begun to rise rapidly since last year, and this momentum has become more obvious in 2017.

For "Battleship", many people's main focus is that it broadens the breadth of Chinese animation. An animation for teenagers can be so hard-core and can convey these relatively hard-core knowledge in an entertaining and entertaining way.

.

It is even claimed to be a science fiction work that can rival or even surpass "The Matrix".

Well-known film critic Jiang Yong has this feeling. He was once amazed by the animated film "The Return of the Monkey King" at the beginning of the year, but that was mostly because "The Monkey King" has created a 3D animation style with Chinese style and aesthetic characteristics. , the technical performance is not inferior to that of Hollywood, and it also has a highly completed story with just the right narrative rhythm.

It can be said that although one of "The Walking Dead" and "Aquila Warrior" is a live-action science fiction drama and the other is an animated science fiction drama, they both caught up with the good times and came out of the industry so quickly that both fans and DreamWorks were caught off guard.

The evaluation of works of art by film critics like Jiang Yong is not an exception. It can even be said that "Sky Eagle Warrior" is actually more pleasing to the literary youth and film critics than its apparent audience - teenagers.

As an animation theme, "Sky Eagle" has undoubtedly taken a big step forward on the road to serious themes. As an audience, I have to applaud Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks for their exploration of serious themes, and offer the highest degree of praise.

In particular, "The Walking Dead" itself has an impactful visual effect, and it has become viral through the short video platform.

What is valuable is that the screenwriter did not allow these problematic teenagers to be cured or completed, but told the children who are watching this animation that people are imperfect, and perhaps the problems left by childhood trauma cannot be solved. , but you can still bravely accept your imperfect self.

People who don’t have computers or even watch TV basically have smartphones and short video software.

The same is true abroad, and it has even become a phenomenon-level online topic. Even though the first season has been aired, its popularity has not decreased but has increased.

In the early stages, "Sky Eagle" will reveal some of the inner conflicts of a certain character in certain sensitive corners, but this is only done because the events have not yet gone into depth, and the subconscious will not be so easily peeled away.

Because "Sky Eagle Warrior" naturally has a lot of controversies and interpretable aspects, and it coincides with the rapid development of short video platforms, various short videos that are either hyped or really interpret this animation have been released. The release accelerated the emergence of "Sky Eagle".

Similar to "Battleship", "Skyhawk" has also attracted the attention of some mainstream people in the cultural world.

The entire animation is basically a process of adolescent psychological analysis and treatment.

Animated movies that can get high box office in China are basically 3D animations, and preferably family-friendly movies with solid scripts, or big IPs with traditional mythology as the background. Fan drama theatrical versions have no future, such as "Your Name" The high box office success of a two-dimensional animation is due to its success as an excellent youth love movie, not the success of the animation itself.

The previous version of "Pacific Rim" was actually influenced by a lot of "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

Chen Jingxing believes that it is very feasible to use the IP of "Sky Eagle Warrior" to shoot China's "Pacific Rim".

Even though the battle scenes in "Sky Eagle" have "burned as much money as possible" and were praised by anime fans, in the final analysis it is still animation, or two-dimensional animation. No matter how much money is burned, the appeal and expressiveness will definitely not be the same as the live-action version. The indomitable mechas are comparable to monsters.
