Aftertaste the flavor of the original novel, the premiere has exploded and received numerous praise from different age groups.

Different from many previous film works,"Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple" adopts the form of a story collection, mainly to restore the style of the original short story "Liaozhai Zhi Yi". Therefore, whether it is the main line of the whole film,"Underground Story", or the interpretation of the five classic stories of "Liaozhai Zhi Yi", it is not a simple division of labor of "one person". Communication and cooperation in the work and learning from each other's strengths are the unique and advantages of the "light-chasing" story collection in the creation.

Although they are both directors for the first time, Cui Yuemei and Liu Yuan, who directed the chapter of "Laoshan Taoist", have served as the character design director of "Chang 'an 30,000 Miles","White Snake" series, and "New God List" series, and the other is the storyboard leader of "White Snake: Origin" and "New God List: Rebirth of Nezha". They are both well-established "to pursue old employees." However, in this chapter, they chose to seek new breakthroughs. Director Cui Yuemei "hopes to bring everyone into Liaozhai, a world full of Chinese romance and mystery, in a very fascinating way." Therefore, the felt style appeared in domestic animated films for the first time. Behind the witty and interesting story is the extremely high workload of single-shot rendering time of up to 700,000 cores, and it is also an exploration of how to use innovative methods to tell traditional cultural stories. Unremittingly pursuit.

The courage to innovate never belongs to any one person in light-chasing animation."Lotus Princess" directed by director Xie Junwei adapted the protagonist of the story into a child, and the cute image engendered countless audiences. In this regard, Xie Junwei said: "I hope that Dou Xu and Lotus's adventure can lead everyone to find the purest and childlike side of their hearts and become the driving force for persevering in moving forward."

As both the director of "Chang 'an Thirty Thousand Miles", Director Zou Jing's independent director of "Nie Xiaoqian" gave everyone a great surprise. As for why such an adaptation was made, Director Zou Jing felt that "ghosts and ghosts are rampant and people are not right." In this troubled world, Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen will have more obstacles and difficulties to transcend the' love between humans and ghosts 'and will have stronger tension." Gu Jiangshan, Ning Caichen's voice actor, also felt sad about this."When I was dubbing Ning Caichen, I felt that he was quite depressed, but after meeting Xiaoqian, he gradually became soft due to the hardness given by the background of the times. In fact, hardness and softness are not in conflict and are beautiful."

Different from "Nie Xiaoqian" written by the Ghost of the East in Times, the other two chapters in which Director Zou Jing participated have certain comedy elements. Among them,"Lu Gong Nu" co-directed by him and Director Liu Yuan brought the atmosphere of youth, romance, and emotion to the extreme. Lu Ying and Zhang Yudan in Director Liu Yuan's mind are "a sincere emotion that transcends life and death, time and breaks through the shackles of destiny. I hope that after watching this story, everyone can leave with a satisfied mood and a very satisfied feeling of leaving." The youthful and sincere voice conditions of Zhang Yudan's voice actor Sun Lulu perfectly present this effect.

"Underground Story", which has the largest number of directors in the movie, is also the main thread in the movie's "1+5" narrative structure. It has high requirements for both plot design and sound interpretation. Lu Lifeng, who once voiced the role of Cheng Jianjun in "Chang 'an Thirty Thousand Miles", acted as the voice of Pu Songling this time. His precise grasp of "talent" and "interesting" won the unanimous praise of Huang Heyu, Liu Yilin and Zou Jing. In the mind of director Huang Heyu,"The underground story is actually that everyone follows Mr. Pu Songling to see the story of Liaozhai and the story of true love in the vicissitudes of a temple, a well and a tree. In fact, it carries our tribute to the classic story and to the creator's persistent tribute."

Director Liu Yilin has a deep feeling about the other chapter she and Director Huang Heyu collaborated with,"Painted Skin". Although it has made many female audiences feel the same,"Painted Skin" in Liu Yilin's eyes is not the only view on marriage, but also a solution. "I hope that everyone can actively face problems and not escape."

Six chapters with very different styles. Six directors with distinctive personalities and producer Song Yiyi bluntly said,"The movie" Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple "may be a work that I think will be a very long work to produce, because this movie not only contains the rich Liaozhai world, but also has the story collection structure and the intention of long stories. I hope that after watching "Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple", you can feel that tomorrow will always be better than today, just like in the movie."

As Yu Zhou, president and producer of Light Chaser Animation, said: "The support of the audience is the driving force for the continuous growth of Light Chaser Animation." In the twelve years when Light Chasing Animation has continued to deepen its efforts to promote traditional culture in animation forms and used China teams to tell the story of China well, they have also achieved two-way travel with the audience. This road may be difficult, but it is never lonely.

Cultural gene decoding, filmmakers and scholars gathered together to help domestic animation make new breakthroughs on the big screen

Guests were also gathered at the event site that day. Dubbing director Yang Tianxiang introduced everyone to the "Dubbing Tiantuan" with strong film strength. The scene where Lu Lifeng, Chen Ziping, Fu Bohan, Cheng Li, Liu Xiaoyu, Gu Jiangshan, Xie Yihui, Fu Tingyun, Yang Mo, Sun Lulu and others restored the characters 'names and lines on the spot can be called a "sound feast" that is difficult to reproduce.

The appearance of the two screenwriters of the film also added a lot to the event. The screenwriter Shen Junle explained to everyone what Chinese-style ghosts and ghosts are: "China's ghosts and ghosts culture is rooted in the soil of China's five thousand years of traditional culture. In those stories of ghosts and ghosts, what we can see is humanity, people's hearts, worldly feelings, expectations and vision for the future. I think this is the core of our ghosts and ghosts culture." Another screenwriter, Zhang Xuejie, hopes that "by presenting the film through a story collection, everyone can understand the rich Liaozhai world of abandonment and gain, good and evil, cause and effect written by Mr. Pu Songling. We also hope that every audience who enters the theater can find the Liaozhai in their hearts in a certain chapter."

In the eyes of Chen Zhixi, chairman and president of Wanda Films,"Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple" is "a success of Chasing Light in a new field, because each of us can find what we like, love and move in these six stories. chapter, and our films are also compatible with audiences of all age groups." Wang Hongwei, secretary-general of the China Film Directors Association and professor at the Beijing Film Academy, deeply agreed with this."I think that only by making more new attempts and possibilities like" Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple "can we summon more audiences into the cinema. This is more meaningful than the film itself." Zhang Ji, vice chairman, director and screenwriter of the China Film Association, developed empathy with the film creators from the perspective of the playwright."Light Chasing Animation uses such a work to allow us to distinguish between tradition and modernity, diversity and single (creative form) Let us see the ambition of animated filmmakers for China films." It is always said that praise from colleagues is particularly rare, but for "Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple", Chen Liaoyu, a professor at the School of Animation of the Beijing Film Academy, is generous in praising "Everyone is really good, just from" Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple "The first thing must be good." Let everyone see the value of good works, and also see the prosperity and mutual understanding of the domestic animated film field. According to Yi Xiaoxing, the so-called beast,"Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple" is a work that can link childhood."This is the best light-tracing work I have seen in the past ten years, because it has both the feelings of China classical romanticism and the innovation of postmodern structuralism. It is very enjoyable to watch and allow people of my age to find the feeling of sitting in front of the TV and chasing cartoons when they were a child." Actors Cai Wenjing and Zhai Zilu both feel that this is a work that belongs to different ages. The former thinks that "'1 +5 'story structure is very interesting. When every new Liaozhai story appears, I am particularly surprised, and each different story will bring us different emotions and emotions. I hope such a story can enter the hearts of more children and adults." The latter said,"Watching" Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple "is like reading. Each of us has our own feelings and way of reading the story, but we can all find our own inner corner from the movie" Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple ". Part of the corner reflects the most authentic side of the heart, and this movie truly covers audiences of different ages." Pu Shengye, the 13th grandson of Pu Songling, who was surprised to appear, also expressed his high recognition of the film."The story form of" Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple "restores the style of Pu Songling's original work, and incorporates various traditional cultural elements in different chapters., such as Song paintings, ancient buildings, etc., inherit, carry forward and spread these excellent cultural genes in a form that young people like to hear and hear about. As a descendant of Mr. Pu Songling, I admire the ingenuity and courage of the light-chasing animation."

"" Liaozhai Zhi Yi "can be said to represent the peak of China's classical novels. The fantasy world of Liaozhai is expressed purely through words, and it has limits. However," Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple "uses the form of an animated film to show the infinite possibilities of" Liaozhai Zhi Yi "itself. The characters in the film fight against their destiny with their emotions, and their lives become brighter. This is also an appreciation and vivid expression of Mr. Pu Songling's spirit that I saw in "Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple"." These words by Luo Yuming, a professor at the Department of Literature at Fudan University, may be the best explanation of why audiences love "Liaozhai: Lanruo Temple" so much.
