20 19, The White Snake: The Origin was released.
Break the stereotype that animation is exclusive to minors.
Box office word-of-mouth double harvest.
It also made the chase animation a hit.
After that, the light-chasing animation released a new god: Nezha reborn White Snake 2: Green Snake Robbery, and the new god list: Yang Jian.
Although it can't reach the height of the white snake, at least it can be seen that it is trying to explore different styles.
In 2023, it is the tenth anniversary of the establishment of light-chasing animation.
At this node, the light-chasing animation handed over its staged answer-"Chang 'an Three Wan Li".
On the first day of the release, the box office broke through 100 million, winning three firsts in a row.
I remember watching the preview of this movie first, or in the egg section of Yang Jian.
To be honest, I didn't expect much when I read the preview.
It is precisely because there are not many presuppositions for the film that it will be deeply shocked in 168 minutes after the film starts.
1, the following is my first viewing experience:
Chang 'an Three Wan Li can also be called Chang 'an past or rejected Li Bai's life.
I never thought that an animation would tell Li Bai's life from such a perspective.
Of course, the ambition of chasing the light does not stop there.
Use Li Bai to set off his friendship with Gao Shi.
Then, based on these two people, the group images of poets in the Tang Dynasty are radiated.
Behind the ups and downs of their fate is the historical trajectory of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline.
The film is as long as Wandering Earth 2, and its content is substantial. It feels like reading a memoir of the Tang Dynasty.
You will be moved by the friendship between Gao Shi and Li Bai;
You will sigh for their life experiences;
You will be shocked by the sight of the prosperous Tang dynasty;
You will feel sorry for the devastated mountains and rivers after the war.
Some people may think that the plot is too hasty, but the final theme is still very irritating:
Poetry is there, books are there, and Chang 'an is there.
As long as we keep spreading, culture will always exist.
It is a wonderful feeling that the poems that were once required to be recited completely at school are now sung by the poets in the movies.
More like a poetry club that breaks time and space and spans thousands of years.
When "Into the Wine" came out, the whole body got goose bumps, and the romance and imagination of the poets in the Tang Dynasty were fully displayed.
They were lucky to be born in the Tang Dynasty.
Chang 'an three Wan Li, China five thousand years.
Is our pride.
It can be predicted that Three Wan Li in Chang 'an will be a film to evaluate polarization.
If you are an anime fan, you are interested in literature, have feelings for the country and have a vision for your ideal, then after three hours, you will feel that you are still unfinished.
However, if you are a serious history lover, your outlook on life is realistic. Then you may be on pins and needles for three hours, and you can't see it.
I also know that many details in the film are empty, but I won't totally deny them because they don't conform to some history.
The literary image of The Romance of The Three Kingdoms is not a real historical figure, but it does not affect its becoming one of the four classical novels in China.
After watching this movie, at least I want to take the initiative to understand what these poets experienced in those turbulent years.
To some extent, the film proved to be a success.
If you have to study history in commercial movies, ...
Then I can only say you are happy.
Let's look at the differences between the details of the film and the real history.
2. First, when Gao Shi and Li Bai met.
In the movie, in their twenties, they didn't know each other until they fought.
According to historical records, Li Bai and Du Fu met by chance while traveling.
Li Bai is 43, Gao Shi is 40 and Du Fu is 32.
Because we are all poets, we have the same interest.
After that, the three of them traveled together.
At that time, Li Bai was in full swing, Du Fu and Gao Shi were still unknown, and they felt very incompetent.
In the movie, Gao Shi met Du Fu as a teenager in Chang 'an after bidding farewell to Li Bai for the first time.
This is also the most criticized point by history lovers;
Du Fu had never been to Chang 'an before he was 35 years old.
Even Gao Shi did not appear in Chang 'an at this point.
The most pleasing thing about this film is to recall his "friendship days" and Li Bai's ""from the perspective of a sense of security and a sense of well-being.
Since it is a memory, it proves to have a strong subjective color.
It is common to beautify or tamper with some memories.
Therefore, the appearance of Li Bai, which is not in line with history, only represents Gao Shi's personal views in the film.
Because there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.
Then why can't a thousand people have a thousand Li Bai in their hearts?
In the film, Gao Shi and Li Bai were made up three times, just to present two different life trajectories to the audience.
Gao Shi and Li Bai went to the Yellow Crane Tower for the first time.
Li Bai is full of poems and wants to write them.
Xiao Er took him to see a poem written by Cui Hao. Then Li Bai shook his pen and left.
Many people think that Li Bai should not be such an ungrateful person.
But I think Li Bai here is not jealous of other people's well-written poems.
But Xiao er accidentally poked Li Bai's birth, so Li Bai broke the defense.
Gao Shi's first trip to Chang 'an was fruitless and he went home disheartened.
But remembering my one-year date with Li Bai, I decided to go to Yangzhou to find Li Bai first.
In Yangzhou, Gao Shi met Pei XII, who was as passionate as himself and had nowhere to scatter.
Pei XII's female role should be fictional.
There is only one Pei Shisan in history.
He is the nephew of Pei Min, a general of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Bai's poems, Zhang Xu's cursive script and Pei Min's sword dance are called "Three Wonders of the Tang Dynasty".
There are also rumors that Li Bai was Pei Min's apprentice, and fencing ranked second in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Bai's self-recommended article "The Book of Han Jingzhou" declared to Han Jingzhou: "Fifteen good swordsmanship will dry the princes all over."
It means fifteen years old, and it is difficult to meet opponents in fencing.
Li Bai's friend also said that it is impossible to kill several people with one sword in the market, and he is not an excellent swordsman.
What makes the image of Li Bai's swordsman deeply rooted in people's hearts may be attributed to the national mobile game the glory of the king.
Li Baigang was a swordsman when he appeared in the movie.
Singing poetry, drinking, wearing new clothes, fighting for the world, so romantic.
This is in stark contrast to the poverty and embarrassment in his later years.
In the movie, Gao Shi witnessed the ups and downs of Li Bai.
Li Bai was at the peak of his life when he went to Chang 'an for an appointment for the second time.
As an official, Li Bai reached the core of power.
Here, the film uses the classic scene of "drinking and singing the Eight Immortals" to show the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and also shows that Li Bai is at home in officialdom.
He despised feudal hierarchical ethics, refused to flatter, and advocated the free liberation of personality.
The darkness of reality shattered his ideal.
The frustration of officialdom made him hope to enter the Tao.
In the movie, the only trip that Li Bai, Gao Shi and Du Fu made was to accompany Li Bai to the Purple Pole Palace and invite a Taoist priest to teach Taoyou.
The Anshi Rebellion is a watershed for Gao Shi and Li Bai, and even everyone's life.
Gao Shi waited for a long time, and finally waited until today, and soon he was promoted to Huainan.
It is a fictional plot that he led the troops to recover Yunshan City and defeated Tubo.
Historically, Gao Shi had a good reputation as an official and was good to the people, but he failed as an envoy.
His successor, Yanwu, was overbearing, but he had a way of leading troops to fight.
Defeating 70,000 Tubo people and recovering Yuanshan Mountain City did not happen at the same time.
The two events in the film are connected in series. It turns out that Gao Shi recaptured Yunshan City and designed to trap 70,000 Tubo and other Yanwu troops to support the encirclement and suppression.
Finally, I attributed all the honors to Yanwu and went home.
On Li Bai's side, he joined the WTO after his birth, and was invited by the rebel Wang Yong, who stood on the opposite side of Gao Shi.
Finally, Li Bai was arrested and imprisoned.
Historically, Gao Shi did not intercede for Li Bai.
This led to the two never seeing each other again, and there was no interaction.
In the movie, Father Cheng's words gave a better guess:
Gao Shi wrote to Guo Ziyi, asking him to come forward and save Li Bai.
But what is recorded in history is that Song Ruosi and Cui Huan saved Li Bai.
Generally speaking, Gao Shi and Li Bai's personal experiences are mostly based on history.
However, in order to increase the tension of the drama, a lot of artistic treatment has been done in the process of interweaving the two character lines.
It can be seen that the pursuit of light is very ambitious.
The previous White Snake and Green Snake are new legendary series, while Nezha and Yang Jian are new mythological series.
It belongs to adding new words to legends.
Three Wan Li in Chang 'an is the first work in the new culture series.
Belonging to changing the face of historical figures.
Let those people and things that have appeared in textbooks be integrated into the traditional aesthetics of Chinese style with the help of animation, and let them "live" again on the big screen.
This is equivalent to creating a brand-new track which belongs to China animation.
Zhuiguang Animation became the first person to eat crabs and took the first step firmly.
Whether this will affect the trend of domestic animated films in the next decade, let us wait and see.
