Chapter 812, Aesthetic Controversy!
Time is in a hurry, and winter is in the blink of an eye.
On Christmas Day, Li Zhifan posted a photo on Kuaibo and LRS.
In the background, a blue starry sky and a forest are superimposed.
And the main part of the picture, which is also the most attractive, are the two big-nosed blue-skinned "weirdos" in the middle.
Underneath are the words "avatar" and "merry-christmas".
Up to now, this is the first time that netizens around the world have seen the makeup photos of the hero and heroine of "Avatar", and only the concept picture of the heroine has been seen before.
Compared to the concept art, the real picture of the poster is uglier now!
Especially the actor, the nose is so big that it looks like a bull's nose, and only the face shape can tell that this is Li Zhifan.
Of course, the premise of judgment is to think of Li Zhifan's face first, and then take a seat.
As for the heroine, under the backdrop of the male protagonist, it looks more pleasing to the eye, and netizens already have the psychological expectations of the concept map, but when they saw this poster, netizens still complained.
"It's ugly!"
"Wow, is this a teaser poster? Is that what the characters in Avatar are like?"
"This, this, this can't be a cartoon, right?"
"I'm sorry, don't talk about how American aesthetics are, I, as an American, don't think it's good-looking!"
"So what? As a black man, I think it's good-looking!"
"What does Li Zhifan think? Is this kind of design made by him?
"From an aesthetic point of view, I think the world is great, constructive, don't you notice? The body size of the hero and heroine in the poster feels very huge, and the limbs are very slender, especially the arms, in the image of this upright walking, the length of the wrist has exceeded the hip joint, this body proportion is more similar to that of an ape, and the movement is very flexible, suitable for climbing and walking. ”
"So, Professor, I don't need you to lecture, it's useless for me to say so much, and I, as a spectator, still feel ugly. ”
As far as the appearance of the hero and heroine in the poster is concerned, the faces are infused with feline features: their eyes are the same yellow color as cats, the position and shape of their ears are also similar to those of cats, and their long eyelashes and triangular noses are also characteristic of cats. So I can guarantee that Li Zhifan must be very fond of cats, and the image of felines is referenced in the design. ”
"Yes, as early as when the concept map came out, some people said that the heroine was a leopard girl, who looked like a leopard, and the leopard was not a feline?
"I think the nose is more like a lion's nose, flat and very wide. However, this design is more biological, and people living in the tropics will have wider noses than people living in cold zones. ”
"People of the tropics: ???"
After Li Zhifan handed over all the Na'vi image design drawings of "Avatar", there was indeed a lot of controversy within the crew, and there were four points that made everyone talk about the most.
Some people are surprised by Li Zhifan's "design", and some people think that Li Zhifan's design of the Na'vi people is actually a criticism of human beings, and some people have a defender mentality in their hearts, which cannot be accepted, but they have to endure it.
At the top of the list is the nose.
It's said that it's big, it's not too obvious, the nose of the Na'vi people is not as sharp and angular as the common earthlings, such an aesthetic is, of course, not in line with the thinking of the earthlings, even if it is treated as an alien, it is very twisted.
And the big nose has always been an ugly Peugeot, otherwise why would so many celebrities go to have their noses trimmed?
It's a small nose wing, and it's a high mountain root, just because the nose is pretty and straight, and it looks good!
Previously, an artist suggested that the image of the Na'vi people should be designed to be pure blue or even a little transparent, so that it looks like an elf, and it will also make the audience love it.
But Li Zhifan still denied it, because the natural patterns on the Na'vi people symbolized their worship of their god Eva, indicating that their faith was with them at all times, indelible engraved in their blood and bones, and also showed that their lives were given by their gods.
As long as you read the script and refer to the belief in religion in the world today, especially the belief in Protestantism among Americans, you will understand Li Zhifan's intention in doing so.
Another big difference between the Na'vi and the Earthlings in appearance is that they have a tail, which is very similar to the tail of a lion in appearance, because in terms of facial design, the Na'vi incorporate feline features, and adding a feline tail to them can make them look more "feline".
Since the limbs of the Na'vi are significantly longer than those of humans, the tail can be used to maintain balance, and it can also be used to modify their excessively long limbs so that they are not too monotonous visually.
Another distinctive feature of the Na'vi people is the small bright spots on their bodies, some cells under their skin that can emit light, the animals and plants on the planet Pandora basically glow, and the different colors of light emitted by various creatures make Pandora's night like a fairyland.
The Na'vi also have the function of emitting light, and this light makes the Na'vi and Pandora's night color more harmonious.
Creatures on Earth rarely emit light, but many creatures do everything possible to use camouflage colors to make others unable to see themselves.
The creatures on Pandora don't care about exposing themselves to the night, this design is because Pandora is a unique ecology where all creatures are one, except for a simple food chain competition, they are actually a unity that can communicate with the soul.
Therefore, the night of Pandora can also form a "symphony of colors and light" in the luminescence of different organisms, so as to indicate that Pandora is a more harmonious ecological environment than the earth.
In the past Hollywood science fiction movies, aliens were often designed as ugly products that were different from earthlings, such as monsters, alien beasts, and monsters similar to giant insects, in short, they were strange, or extremely disgusting, or extremely inconspicuous.
And in previous science fiction movies, only a very few aliens are righteous or kind, and those very few are also very similar to the image of human beings on the earth, after all, aesthetics is the human activity in charge, and the more like oneself, the more kind-hearted they are.
"Avatar" completely subverts the setting of these previous science fiction movies, in fact, the creatures of Pandora are the most beautiful creatures, and the ugliness and inherent flaws of human beings are unaware of human beings, which is also sad.

In addition, it is the pattern on the Na'vi people, and the existence of this pattern is more like a leopard.
