After the film was broadcast, it won numerous honors, including the Best Animated Feature Film Award, the Best Animated Director Award, the Best Animated Screenplay Award, the Best Animated Dubbing Award, and the Best Screenplay Award in the 35th Hundred Flowers Award.
There is also a "proud" achievement behind this brilliant award, which finally broke through 5 billion after several postponements and box office re-recording. The box office has refreshed the "peak" of domestic animated films, and it has also made many people call "the rise of the country" after watching it.
It is precisely because of the peak created by "Nezha" that many people are more looking forward to the arrival of Legend of Deification. The first day's box office reached "362 million", which has already explained this point. Watching the box office did inherit the "glory" after Nezha, but at the same time it also ushered in a "polarized" reputation. Douban score has dropped to 7.3, and Taobao Film is also 7.3, with 8000+ praise and 4000+ bad reviews.
So what's the problem? Is it not as good as Nezha? Or is the audience's taste better? We need to elaborate on the changes from Nezha to Legend of Deification.
Legend of Deification has really improved compared with Nezha.
On the first day of National Day, Mr. Potato, as a fan, also walked into the cinema to watch Legend of Deification, so he still had a say. Compared with the previous film of Ne Zha, Legend of Deification has indeed made progress. The special effects in the animation are very powerful. The scene of returning to the market, the scuffle between teachers and respect, and the ending war are perfect. The overall action and role design have a good impression, and the technology is more refined than the last Nezha.
Especially in some music and details, people really want to praise the progress of domestic animation. The integration of China ink painting has created a very "grand" world with a fascinating impression. This excellent production also proves that the animation technology in China is constantly maturing, and it can even be said that it has reached the cutting-edge level, at least in terms of "technology", we all see it.
Secondly, let's talk about the plot. Jiang Ziya's story is the same as that of Nezha before, which is to modify our original impression of the characters. Jiang Ziya in this film is a civilian hero, no longer the traditional "fairy", but a down-and-out "ordinary man". After defeating the fox demon, he was demoted to the mortal world, and after all kinds of hardships, he discovered the "truth" story.
On the whole, it tends to be "adult-oriented", and its content has a "thinking height", which can easily lead to ideological collision, and it has a lot more connotations than Nezha before. Nezha told us to resist the injustice of fate, while Jiang Ziya told us what is "evil", what is "good", saving a person or the whole life? You need to feel it with your own heart.
On the whole, Potato Jun's impression of this film is still very good. The overall animation technology has improved, and the small details and wonderful scenes are very eye-catching. The theme of the story can make people think deeply.
Why is there a word of mouth of "polarization"?
Let's talk about Mr. Potato's most fundamental view first, because Nezha let many viewers go into the cinema to watch Jiang Ziya again, but what they saw was not the second Nezha, or the positioning of this film itself was not the national explosion like the Nezha before.
The biggest difference from Nezha before is that Jiang Ziya is an "adult-oriented" work, not an animated work suitable for all ages like Nezha before. The overall pattern of Legend of Deification is several levels higher than that of Nezha before, and many philosophical thoughts are discussed in it. Many people can come to the cinema to relax with the mentality of watching Nezha before, but seeing it is really a "sleepy" philosophy, which has caused the dilemma of more bad reviews now.
Secondly, let's talk about some minor flaws. The film sets a very clear theme in the plot. The God of the Yuan Dynasty asked Jiang Ziya to give up "goodness" and solve the problem that the fox became a god. However, Jiang Ziya had his own doubts about whether he wanted "Heaven" or his own "Tao". In the end, he chose to rebel against the Buddha and stick to himself.
Obviously, this theme can be refined to form a more "meticulous" logical thinking, which leads to the sound of * * *, but the rhythm of the whole film is faster. When Kyubi no Youko appeared, the ghosts of the fox family in Guihui were released, and then the ghosts said that it was all your master's problem. Jiang Ziya understood, grew old and grew white hair, and then the master came, and all the murders Kyubi no Youko disappeared, leaving only Jiang Ziya's "anger", which ruined the ladder and rewritten the law.
In a word, it is a little "confused" and tells a profound "theme", but there is not enough plot to enrich it, which makes people feel a little "empty" after reading it, and it is difficult to have a * * * sound with the protagonist. So that it is difficult for people to feel "immersive" in the story, and it is difficult to move people when they feel derailed from the film.
It is both progress and regret.
In fact, Legend of Deification, a domestic animated film, was praised by Tudou Jun, which is really an improvement. The reason for polarization is that many people look at holidays with the mentality of "having fun", while Legend of Deification is "heavy", which does not meet expectations and leads to many bad reviews.
However, it can't be said that Legend of Deification is excellent. As a viewer, there are many fewer jokes than the previous Legend of Deification in Nezha. Even the "heavy" theme can have warm and funny moments, which can make the audience concentrate on expecting these points and bring the audience into the film. Too serious statements will inevitably make people "sleepy", and the audience will naturally not invest. If you don't invest, how can you let your "climax" touch the audience?
