Ding Cheng was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and said with a bright smile: "It's also your work to make a big watermelon, right?"

Dumplings were also stunned, but they didn't expect Ding Cheng to know about themselves, so he hurriedly said politely: "The game work in the early years, I am also your fan, I am very happy to meet the real person." ”

Wang Tianyi patted the shoulders of the two, they are both friends, what is polite?

Everyone sat down to chat and eat, Ding Cheng was very curious about Yang Yu, the first time he saw a big watermelon was amazing.

Later, it disappeared, and there were no new works, but I didn't expect to hold back such a big move as Nezha?

Cartoons with a box office of five billion!

"I like to draw and read comics since I was a child, but I actually studied medicine in college, and it was only in my junior year that I started to learn 3D animation software. After discovering that one person can make a good picture, it was out of control. ”

"The original name was Dumpling, and I thought it was a combination of Chinese and Western, delicious and able to replenish energy. Later, it was more difficult to eat, so I changed it to my favorite dumplings. ”

"Back then, it took about three years and eight months for a person to make a big watermelon. After his father's death, the only income in the family was his mother's pension of 1,000 yuan per month, and he ate supermarket specials every day, did not dare to buy new clothes, did not pull the network cable, and tried not to go out.

"For three and a half years, I lived as if I was living on a space station, with three points and one line: the living room, the bedroom, and the toilet. ”

"I still remember the end of playing a big watermelon, I forced Disney, Wan Laiming, Osamu Tezuka, Hayao Miyazaki, Mamoru Oshii, Katsuhiro Otomo, PIXAR, Akira Toriyama, Ang Lee, Akira Kurosawa, Jin Yong, Hideo Kojima, Cheng Long, Li Chengjie, Xing Ye, Ma Yun, Shi Yuzhu, ......"

"It seems to be a completely out of line thanks list, but it is the spiritual idol that supported me to continue to be during that time. ”

Ding Cheng nodded, and endured all the hardships to become a master. That work seemed to have won more than 30 awards such as the Special Jury Prize at the Berlin International Short Film Festival, and was even hailed as the best animated short film among the Chinese.

"I have been fighting with Nezha for five years, writing scripts for more than two years, designing more than 100 versions before and after, finding more than 60 production companies and a production team of 1,600 people. ”

Dumplings said very truthfully: "I like "Nezha and the Sea" produced by the Magic City Film Studio in 79, which is not only a good childhood memory, but also an example and motivation to break the prejudice against the adaptation itself. ”

"I really don't dare to follow the original book exactly, that's too bad. The original Nezha is a ruthless character who doesn't mess with him or has to mess with others, others want to reason with him, but he is not reasonable, and he will do it if he doesn't agree. ”

"The original Dragon King is a relatively neutral character, and he didn't provoke him, so he directly stirred up Longgong Mountain in the East China Sea with Chaotian Aya. The unlucky third prince came out to drink, and without saying a word, he was cramped and skinned. ”

The Dragon King came to the door to explain the law, but failed, so he could only seek legal means to solve it, and planned to go to heaven to sue the emperor, but he was stopped by him halfway and beat back. ”

"I really can't be mad, so I flooded Chentangguan and killed a lot of Li people. And Nezha doesn't have the respect of his son for his father to Li Jing, even if he commits suicide, he has a hot personality that follows that point, similar to calling you Daddy has already given you face, and you dare to take care of me?"

"So why just scandalize him, wearing smoky makeup, a mouthful of open teeth, depressed, hated by everyone, punk and mournful, ugly, right?"

Everyone laughed, in Ding Cheng's opinion, this is the most brilliant stroke of genius.

gives the audience a set, the more you complain in the early stage, the more stereotypes you have, the more likely you are to get closer to the director's original intention of setting up the ugliest Nezha in history.

If you want to tell a story about prejudice, what could be more emotional than having the audience go straight into the story with prejudices and then break it down with their own hands?

"When I first started writing a script, I was very confident, but then I received a lot of different opinions every time I submitted it, and then I grinded with the color bar house, and then I didn't even know how to write the script. ”

"I remember that after 66 revisions, then the set design, the character design. I think the script has been grinding so hard, the scenes and characters have to be solid, and those designers are going crazy. ”

"Started grinding the storyboard, since the character scripts are grinding so hard, the storyboard can't be easy, and then the storyboard is also crazy......"

"Then I made the model, the storyboard was grinding so hard, the model couldn't relax......"

"In the end, I can't stop, and I have come to this day. ”

"For example, after Nezha and Ao Bing held hands, they fought against the Heavenly Tribulation together, and I thought like this at first: they were originally born as mixed yuan beads between heaven and earth, recalling past memories and seeing the history of the formation of the entire earth. I found several special effects companies for five months, but the results were not satisfactory, and the money was still spent, so I had to cut it. ”

"Fortunately, we are an animated film, and for so many years, we have deeply felt that the imperfection of our national animation industry system is indeed too far behind Hollywood. ”

"But many teams are holding back their strength in their hearts, wanting to prove domestic animation, wanting to make this market prosperous, wanting animators to be more proud, and finally willing to lose money to join our project. ”

"That's the power of the human heart. ”

After hearing this, Wang Tian sighed: "This guy is simply a pervert!"

"In order to do a good job of Shen Gongbao's transformation in less than five seconds, he actually stumbled for three months?"

"All the main characters in the film have nearly a thousand details on their faces alone, and initially there were more than 5,000 shots in the whole film, which is three times more than the average animated film. In the end, 2,000 were left after repeated selection. ”

"1,318 special effects shots, accounting for 80%, only four people grabbed the sketch of a scene in Jiangshan Shejian for two months. ”

In order to allow the voice actors to deeply understand the emotions of the characters, they personally recorded dubbing samples for the characters and accompanied the recording sentence by sentence. ”

"It's unorthodox to dub first and then produce, and the expressions of all the voice actors are captured on the corresponding movie characters, which is insane!"

After listening to the dumplings, he was silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "Five years have been gritted and hard, the production cycle is too long, the difficulty is huge, and many people in the team can't stand to leave." ”

"Actor Lu Yanting, who dubbed the children's Nezha, almost lost her voice for a month after dubbing with the lowest voice in her life. Today alone is my birthday banquet, and I recorded it more than 50 times without crying. ”

"Because if you want to create a new IP, the risk is too great. is as strong as Disney, and the first animated feature film it made was also the well-known Snow White. ”

"Although Pixar was the first original work, it was also a Disney production that was recognized by audiences around the world. Tianzhong wizards have chosen this path, if we don't work hard, can the audience accept it?"

Ding Cheng was in awe, he didn't expect a cartoon to be able to do this!
