"Hulu Brothers" is a paper-cut animation.

This theme may not be so new for domestic animation, but it is definitely rare and rare.

Of course!

This is for those in the industry.

Ordinary viewers can't see the difference between paper-cut animation and general animation, sharp-eyed viewers, maybe they can see a clue, but it is also difficult to associate with paper-cut art.

"It's a shadow puppet, isn't it?"

After many viewers saw "Hulu Brothers", the first thing that came to mind was shadow puppetry.

However, this speculation was quickly denied by everyone, because when Wanbao Animation officially introduced "Hulu Brothers", it used a paper-cut animation series.

The art of decoupage!

The appearance of this term immediately reminded the audience of window flowers. The gourd baby is actually a paper-cut character? This discovery surprised many viewers.

The surprise was followed by an exclamation.

This form of artistic expression is so nostalgic that at first glance, I thought it was a replay of an old animation from decades ago!

I never thought that in this materialistic and fast-paced era, there are still people who can sink their hearts to make a cartoon in the form of paper-cut art expression.

It's so rare.

It's a pity that it was born in the wrong era.,If this animation had been placed twenty or thirty years ago,It might have caused a huge sensation.,But now......

It's not that "Hulu Brothers" is not good enough, it's just that in the context of today's era, it does feel out of place.

It's an amazing feeling.

It's a new cartoon, but it looks like it was watched many years ago on a black-and-white or big-ass color TV.

The most inconsistent part of the whole animation is not that the plot is not the setting, let alone the picture performance, but the "dynamic trial word" that appears at the beginning of the film actually starts with 2017.

If you change it to 1997, it will not violate the harmony!

But this is just a joke, it can't be taken seriously, for "Hulu Brothers", a work with a very different style, the audience's recognition is still very good.

The first platform on which the animation "Hulu Brothers" was broadcast was Zhonghai Children's Channel.

Due to the gold-lettered signboard of Zhonghai Meiying Studio at the beginning of the film, coupled with the hard work of Zhonghai Children's Channel, many viewers are curious to take a look, so the ratings of the premiere are not bad.

It's just not comparable to the original......

On the one hand, there are reasons for the background of the times, and on the other hand, the Wanbao version of "Hulu Brothers" is no longer the same thing as the original.

When it was still in production, Gu Miao discovered that the Wanbao version of "Hulu Brothers" had great conflicts and contradictions with the original in terms of character design.

The original is thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The Wanbao version seems to be in line with the aesthetic preferences of children now, and the image of the gourd baby is more cute and childlike, which is not the same style.

This can't be blamed on Liang Xiaodong's random changes.

He is not Gu Miao, and he has never read the so-called original version, he just makes "Hulu Brothers" according to his own understanding, and there is nothing to blame.

Also, it's good to have a difference.

If the Wanbao version is exactly the same as the original, and even the details can be restored one-to-one, then Gu Miao will think that Liang Xiaodong, this kid, has awakened the "system"?

Or is this kid also a time-traveler?

……

The premiere of "Hulu Brothers" is very good, although it is not as popular as the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation that is being broadcast by CCTV, but it can be regarded as a popular hit.

Most importantly.

This is a paper-cut animation, which can be regarded as a new attempt by puppet studios to explore new territories.

Liang Xiaodong is extremely satisfied with this result, after all, exploring new fields will always face great risks, and he is already mentally prepared for the cold broadcast of "Hulu Brothers" and the dismal ratings.

As a result, I didn't expect that today's children still like the animation style of "Hulu Brothers".

The studio is also very satisfied.

Through this cooperation with Wanbao, the American Film Studio can be regarded as having a masterpiece that can be done in the new era, and there is no need to be ridiculed for eating the old book.

Seriously speaking, the situation of the American film studio in recent years has been really embarrassing.

If it weren't for the cooperation with Wanbao Animation, they worked together on works such as "The Story of Avanti" and "Hulu Brothers", I am afraid that the current audience would have forgotten the existence of the American Film Studio.

"It's a pity that the American studio ......"

Gu Miao sighed slowly: "The older generation of artists have passed away one after another, the hollowing out of talents is serious, and they lack the ability to adapt to the market and the sense of smell to capture the direction of the market, so I am afraid that they will only exist in memory in the future." ”

Thinking back then, how brilliant was the American film studio?

Even the place where Hayao Miyazaki came on pilgrimage can it be an ordinary place? In the early days of American studios, it is not an exaggeration to say that Asian animation was the hegemon.

But that's all in the past.

No matter how brilliant it was before, it was difficult to hide the loneliness of the new era.

In the case of Wanbao, the number of animation minutes produced in a year is more than the total number of minutes in the past ten years.

What? Slow work?

That's not right!

Judging from the works released by the studio in recent years, they have not met the standard of "slow work and meticulous work", and the quality of the works is far worse than 20 years ago.

"Loneliness is inevitable."

Lao Zhang shook his head and said: "The older generation of artists have passed away one after another, and the training of the new generation of talents can't keep up, how can you make excellent animation?" ”

Of course, temporary silence does not mean eternal silence. Perhaps after a while, the American film studio will usher in an opportunity for revival and make animated works that will make everyone shine. ”

"It's going to take some time."

Gu Miao thought about it and felt that if she was free, she could go on a pilgrimage to the American Film Studio to see what the situation was in the American Film Studio today.

As a banner of domestic animation, it is also the pride of domestic animators, to be honest, no one wants the United States Film Studio to continue to be depressed and lonely.

It's not enough to pull a hand, but through some cooperation, let the American film studio find a path suitable for future development and rejuvenate it, Gu Miao is still very happy.

Don't say anything else.

Works like "Strange Tales of China" and "Five Elements of the Foggy Mountains" can be called to be done by the American Film Studio!

Especially the ink-style animation.

The first ink cartoon "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother" was a sensation all over the world in the United States Studio, as the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.

No matter how lonely you are, the experience and talent reserve of the American Film Studio in this area are much stronger than Wanbao.

"I have to find Liang Xiaodong to pull a line."

Gu Miao thought about it for a while, and felt that it seemed a bit presumptuous for her to rashly go to someone else's beauty studio to talk about the so-called cooperation.

There's no rush on this matter.

Let Liang Xiaodong, who has a good relationship between the two sides, be a middleman first, test the tone over there, and if you think it is feasible, then everyone will sit together and talk about the details.

The pilgrimage is a sure thing to go.

The works of the American Film Studio have greatly affected Gu Miao's childhood, and it is really unreasonable not to visit a holy place like this.

Hayao Miyazaki goes, he can't go?
