Chapter 471: Sorry

From the perspective of judging and analyzing things, we can accurately distinguish between two different civilizations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Every civilization has its own uniqueness, from thought to habit, and it is not easy for other civilizations to accept and distinguish.

In terms of metaphors, the Chinese civilization and the Dongying culture, which was heavily influenced by the Chinese civilization, are naturally in the same vein.

Westerners often say that Orientals do not speak and express directly, and like to beat around the bush, but in fact, this is a kind of interpersonal habits and social composition of the inheritance factor.

Western civilization is a contract culture built with the early British Empire as the main body of civilization, and the Magna Carta is the foundation of the entire Western society and culture today.

The Chinese civilization is a culture constructed by a moral society in the early days, and a social system composed of morality as a 'credit currency'.

Even after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, etiquette and music collapsed, and the social and cultural foundation assumed by Confucianism was that a moral society became a humane society, and this kind of humane culture is not easy for Westerners to understand, and the family organization in the West is a community of interests.

In addition to the community of interests, the family organization in China also has a trace of human bonding.

In this kind of humane society, the way of speaking and the way of expression will be different, and the contract society in the West belongs to the purpose, so the expression is direct.

The Chinese human society is processual, focusing on safeguarding the interests of others in the expression, and achieving the state of 'can only be understood but not spoken' and 'point to point' is the basic morality.

Therefore, in terms of language expression, Westerners will find the expression of Chinese people very cumbersome, and even a bit of a 'chicken thief'.

The metaphor of this culture can be regarded as the most developed among the Chinese people and the surrounding cultures influenced by the Chinese civilization.

Among them, the most influential ones are naturally Dongying and Goryeo.

When two different social systems collide, it naturally brings all kinds of troubles.

After entering modern civilization, the sharing of resources and information and the exchange of civilizations are naturally accompanied by various contradictions.

In response to the various actions of the Western powers during the war, Dongying likes to use artistic metaphors to express dissatisfaction and resistance.

And this kind of metaphorical irony, Westerners can't see it, because they understand this kind of metaphorical irony thinking, although they also have metaphors or metaphors, but they are also relatively intuitive.

For example, in some movies, metaphors are all with the help of composition, such as the most famous "Forrest Gump", which is a metaphorical history of the American empire, but it is all metaphors or metaphors with the help of some signs of the times.

For example, Elvis Presley, rugby, the Revolutionary War, table tennis diplomacy, Watergate, etc., as long as you understand the signs of these times, you can guess the subtle expression of the film through association.

But the metaphor of China is different, and the metaphor of China is the metaphor of 'borrowing things to refer to people' and 'borrowing things to be virtuous' in culture.

In "Iron Fan Princess", it is this metaphor that the times and ideas are added into the plot to arouse the resonance of the national roots.

This animation expresses the national spirit of 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith', which was the most familiar culture of the people at that time, as well as the spirit of resistance in the face of the Anti-Japanese War.

In the film "Iron Fan Princess", although Sun Wukong forcibly borrowed a fan and fought with the Bull Demon King regardless of brotherhood, and Zhu Bajie changed his image to deceive Princess Iron Fan, these can be ignored in the face of the meaning of saving sentient beings.

Ethics is the norm of the times, which shows that ethics and morality change with the changes of the times. In the movie, saving sentient beings is precisely a way to save the country and make it strong, which is great love, not dominated by individual consciousness, but by the rise and fall of the country and the nation, for this reason, everything should give way to the country and the national righteousness.

The image of the Bull Demon King in the film is a microcosm of the Japanese invaders who invaded China at that time, and Sun Wukong's final call for the public to resist the Bull Demon King is also an expression of resistance.

The Chinese audience will be moved by this expression, and in the eyes of Western audiences, this is just a plot.

This is the fundamental difference that comes with cultural habits.

In the early days of Dongying, many writers or artists used this method to ridicule Western powers, and Western audiences and even scholars could not see it at the time, until someone pointed it out later.

This technique has been used for nearly decades, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly, not that Westerners are stupid, but the difference in thinking inertia.

"Spirited Away" was directly seen by the West this time, firstly, because the character image setting is somewhat straightforward, but also for Miyazaki, the West already has a special research institute, but it is afraid that there will be some embarrassing oolongs.

However, Wang Yao used a shallow plot this time to metaphorize the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the cultural symbols behind the seemingly popular ones were hidden even deeper, and when Wang Yao did not indicate his position, those film critics did not dare to put a hat on Wang Yao casually, so until now, the West still praises "Zodiac Turn".

And often it is compared with "Spirited Away", and one is stepped on to eliminate the influence of "Spirited Away".

However, in the eyes of real 'people of the same kind', what Wang Yao wants to express is naturally clear at a glance, and from the style of the plot dialogue, Miyazaki can see the strong spirit of resistance to war and invaders hidden in "Zodiac Turn".

This is the main reason why he invited Wang Yao, and the second is that in his lifetime, it is the most happy thing for him to be able to see animation belonging to the traditional Chinese style appear on the stage of history again, and he is willing to make friends with Wang Yao.

Wang Yao and Miyazaki's conversation is very close, the same cultural roots and longing for Chinese culture make this old man with a somewhat eccentric temperament rare not too sharp, and when he discussed with Wang Yao about the image of the mythical beast in ancient Chinese mythology, he was excited like a child.

He has always been very interested in the monsters behind Huaxia, especially in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

Wang Yao temporarily painted a few pictures for him, which moved him very much.

"Your painting skills can be said to be lightweight. Looking at the brush in Wang Yao's hand, a few strokes depicted a vivid and mysterious monster, Miyazaki sighed, "The brush is really a magical tool." ”

"When my husband taught me, he said that all calligraphy and painting have their own trajectory, and if you follow its trajectory and add your own ideas, you can be 'divine'. Wang Yao smiled, thought for a moment and drew the image of a monster in the blank space.

"What is this?" Miyazaki looked at the image that did not feel like a mythical creature, but rather a futuristic creature.

"Alien. Wang Yao smiled and drew another Pikachu and Ultraman.

"Magical, magical. Hayao Miyazaki looked at the completely different senses of ink painting style, but the familiar charm couldn't help but sigh: "By the way, I think of a question, there are many artists in your studio who can reach your level?"

Wang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, "There are a lot, in fact, as I just said, calligraphy and painting have a life trajectory, and it is very easy to draw according to the trajectory, so our Chinese painting and calligraphy all start from copying, which is the trajectory of copying." ”

Hayao Miyazaki nodded, "The movie is fifty-two frames, and some of them are over 100." It's a really terrible amount of work, your studio is really good, I need about 180,000 originals for a movie, yours may be more than 400,000. ”

Wang Yao smiled: "Fortunately, there is the assistance of the computer." ”

The smile on Miyazaki's face froze, and he frowned, "You all draw on computers?"

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, feeling that Miyazaki's mood had changed greatly, and nodded cautiously, "Partly, because the workload is too much." ”

"That's not right, how can a machine draw!" Miyazaki said with some excitement.

"It's not a machine drawing, it's a human using software to draw it, aren't you also scanning the original manuscript into the machine after you finish drawing? Wang Yao hurriedly explained.

"No, did you use modeling software, or copy software, or even fix automatic pen filling, coloring software?" Miyazaki asked with a serious expression.

Wang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, "You seem to have a bad impression of the first machine." ”

"Because machines are emotionless, and a mouse can never replace a paintbrush. Miyazaki's expression was extremely serious: "You know what." There is no thickness of the mouse brush, which means that the lines are the same, but you should understand, how can life be the same?

Wang Yao's pupils shrank sharply, and he felt greatly shocked.

The progress brought by technology has made people's lives more convenient and lightweight, but from another perspective, it seems to be the same.

The greatness of art is the greatness of life, and when life becomes devoid of warmth and characteristics, then what is there to be great?

Wang Yao couldn't help but stand upside down.

"I don't have an opinion about machines, I just don't accept this view of life, my work is not the kind of cold machine and cookie-cutter lines that can be expressed, I will feel that I am insulting life. Miyazaki said in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry. The corners of Wang Yao's mouth moved, and he spit out two words.

Miyazaki also froze for a moment, and looked at Wang Yao with some surprise, "I thought that you would explain to me the convenience and benefits of the machine, as well as the high production efficiency." ”

"Nobody says it's right, high productivity is right. Wang Yao smiled "I apologize for my shallowness, to be honest, I have never thought about it from this angle, I thought that only if I put passion and thought into creating characters, then I am creating a life, and I really neglect the respect for life." ”

Miyazaki blinked, seemed to swallow the words back, and said with a smile, "You are really different from many young people, and your consciousness reminds me of some eminent monks and Zen masters." ”
