Chapter 182: Tragic Core
"The Legend of the World" is based on Stanley Lem's 1985 feature-length fantasy, and the original title is "Daft Punk".
This book was also the beginning of his emergence in the world literary scene.
βLike the legend of the ends with keep the planets force of love beginning.β This passage read by Ye Lingxing is not only a sentence in the original book, but also a lyric in the OP of "The Demon God of the World", "Like the legend of the phoenix nirvana, everything ends with the beginning, and what is driving the planet to rotate is the original power from love - this is my favorite translation version." β
Guan Li was sneaking away to find the system for spoilers, and when he heard this, he replied: "Stanley inherited Lem's style, SIN should also be dead to the dark stream, but this ......"
"Isn't it dark enough?"
"No," Guan Li thought back to the plot, "but it feels like the other...... Works such as The Original Sin are different. β
Gray reality, natural and man-made disasters, and human nature choices, there is no shortage of what should be there, and even human civilization knelt down in the end.
All deviances lead to reasonable consequences, and all ideals face unexpected shattering.
When you think about it, it's pretty dark.
But......
I didn't feel like I was watching the anime at all.
No anger, no sadness, just reading a story that has nothing to do with oneself.
"That's because you don't have a sense of substitution. "After all, Ye Lingxing has studied psychology, so he has a little foundation in this regard," and the animation itself is deliberately weakening the audience's sense of substitution and creating a God's perspective. β
In fact, this is exactly Stanley's style, born out of his father Orsson, and taking a very different path.
If the founder and leader of the wave of evil aesthetics, Orson Lem is accustomed to playing with the reader's feelings with subtle words, and takes pleasure in crushing the reader's three views, basing his pleasure on the madness of others.
His alternate successor, Stanley Lem, is the conscience of the other extreme, even if the content is still cruel and cold, the brushstrokes are floating outside the plot, allowing the reader to see the whole story from the perspective of ordinary people.
This line of writing has been described as "thinking like a nation."
Abandon the professional and narrow personal angle in favor of a higher, non-biased focus on any one character to reach out to the fantasy world.
No, not a group portrait.
Let the reader become a "nation".
For the "nation", neither morality nor truth mattered, it was only an individual's pursuit.
The only thing that matters is only "selfish desires": the desire for the satisfaction of "order".
Substituting it for the reader, this "selfish desire" is equivalent to the spiritual experience obtained from the content viewed.
- The pleasure of boredom or the thrill of curiosity.
It would be great if there was some crazy and funny raging unfolding.
As for the three views...... What do you care about?
Fun and that's it!
"What people see in splendor, subconsciously longs for it to be destroyed. Stanley Lem once wrote in the afterword of a book, "This is the core of Dionysian tragedy, which does not present the appearance of beauty to hide despair, but allows beauty to return to its abundant essence in pain and revelry." β
It is the essence of "evil aesthetics", that is, the "malice" that comes from the creator's own heart, and pushing the viewer into a pure bystander's perspective to feel the essence of the story is his residual pity for the reader.
Although many people think that Stanley was psychologically shadowed by Orson's book in his early years, he was angry and wrote this kind of three views to comfort himself with the devastation.
In order to distinguish his style from traditional vices, literary researchers have referred to Stanley's genre of writing as the "New Vice-Aesthetics," or "the delayed-onset Vice-Virtues."
Yes, delayed onset of action.
When you watch it, you can hold God's perspective in your hand, and for the time being, you can ignore the morality and sigh the plot, and wait until you finish watching it and think about it seriously......
Damn, what did I just see?!
Aftertaste, true feelings, abused to death by his own brain.
The adaptation of "The Demon God of the World" by him inherits this characteristic very well, and every year there are new fans entering the pit, and then they are not forgotten.
There is no protagonist in the anime in the sense of the plot, but the characters with names and surnames have their own charm.
The ultra-high pace and detail of the picture are crammed into a large amount of information and symbolism in a short period of time, which can be unexpectedly dug up at any time as a foreshadowing.
And the most critical ...... It's really interesting how to look at this nonsense plot!
In a cyberpunk era that developed from a high magical civilization, the visual aesthetic concept design alone is cool to the point of exploding.
The picture quality will not be outdated even now.
Guan Li couldn't help but sigh: "This is the strength of SIN?"
"It's not. Ye Lingxing obviously knows some industry insiders better than him, "The Demon God of the Aftermath is under the name of SIN, but it is not an independent work of SIN, but an animation produced in collaboration with the son of the star. β
The animation director is Xu Qingran, and it is also an animation script, and all the shots and part of the original paintings are drawn by him. The system is also helping him check the information, "And Xu Qingran is not a SIN person, for a long time, he has been a director affiliated with the son of the star." β
Ye Lingxing: "The high quality of this animation is largely due to the legendary animation director Xu Qingran. β
System: "The Demon God of the World" is his famous work, and the works he has handled in the future are much higher than the average level, and there are many 'divine works' on the list. β
Ye Lingxing: "He participated in the production of the famous "Dream System: Your Destiny", you have always heard of this Guan Li, right?"
System: "Most of Xu Qingran's animation works are adaptations, and there are no mediocre works so far, and the only one he has planted is the one that he has planted behind...... It is also his only original animation...... You've also been exposed to administrators, and it's "The Ring Effect". β
Ye Lingxing: "Director Xu's level is beyond doubt, he is a truly world-class animation director......!
"Bad luck?" Guan Li, who had been listening to the duet for a long time, finally found an opportunity to interject, "What happened?"
"Actually, nothing happened, just no one wanted to animate him. Ye Lingxing shook his head.
"Huh?"
"It's too expensive, and it's too much to make ends meet. β
No one dares to deny Xu Qingran's ability, and the worst animation he has made is also a well-known masterpiece, however, ...... It's too much money.
Excellence never comes without a price.
Behind each of his animations is a daunting amount of investment.
In the era of commercial animation, high investment means high risk.
No matter how good the reputation is? Investors pay more attention to profits.
And quality never equals profit.
"There is even a saying on the Internet that 'Xu Qingran defeated the son of the star'. In the face of this kind of remarks, Ye Lingxing just wanted to laugh, "Obviously, he forged the throne of the son of the stars!"
Guan Li paused, and only spit out two words: "It's miserable." β
The system reads along with the stick: "Yes, it's a miserable director." β
Ye Lingxing: "......" He felt that he was perfunctory.
Perfunctory sympathy for Xia Ye Lingxing's idol, Guan Li went straight to the next topic, "So the back of "The Demon God of the Coming World" is more exciting? Then let's continue to watch it now? By the way, are you hungry? It's time to eat?"
