Qiao Feng and Gong Li glanced at each other, and they were no longer interested in talking about the Little Mermaid.

And Steve Martin on the stage opened the envelope unhurriedly, then glanced apologetically at Qiao Feng's side, and then opened his mouth to read: The Little Mermaid - Alan Manken, congratulations."

Wow, the audience burst into sincere or polite applause, and the winner Alan Manken also stood up with an excited fist.

Some people are proud, and some people are disappointed.

The people in the DreamWorks studio who attended the meeting were all disappointed, and so was Qiao Feng.

But although it was very unpleasant, such a result was not unexpected by Qiao Feng.

Compared with the world-famous daughter of the sea, Mulan, a heroine story that is only widely known in Southeast Asia, is naturally out of weakness.

Not to mention that it involves the duality of Eastern and Western aesthetic forms, not to mention that Qiao Feng has made great changes to the Mulan made by Disney in the original time and space, both in terms of the image and story of Mulan.

In such a situation, it is naturally more unlikely to win the prize.

The aesthetic form has a duality, that is, the unity of national and cosmopolitan.

DreamWorks Animation Studios produced the film Mulan as a recreation of the original image of Mulan.

Even if Qiao Feng made drastic revisions, in order to adapt to European and American movie audiences, both the shaping of the characters and the expression of the spiritual core still present the characteristics of an Americanized Chinese story.

But even if it has an American flavor, in the final analysis, Mulan is still a heroine in Chinese culture.

As an aesthetic form, Mulan has a national character, and it has a strong Chinese flavor in terms of story background and spiritual connotation.

The earliest literary work that records the story of Mulan is the Northern Dynasty folk song "Mulan Ci", which tells the story of Mulan disguised as a man and serving in the army on behalf of her father.

She has always been a typical image in the traditional Chinese story, and her story has been preached by successive rulers and people, and her image is glorious in everyone's hearts.

The story of her disguising herself as a man to serve in the army on behalf of her father is just in line with the idea of loyalty and filial piety in traditional Chinese culture.

In China, the image of Mulan is more inclined to be a filial daughter and a loyal courtier. Her daughter body better deepened the concept of "the rise and fall of the world, the responsibility of the woman". Her spiritual qualities were in line with the requirements of the mainstream thought of the time.

In "Mulan Ci", the reason why Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father is: Grandpa has no eldest son, and Mulan has no eldest brother. Mulan joined the army because of "filial piety". She is not only brave, but also witty. "I have been together for 12 years, but I don't know that Mulan is a girl".

And the first sentence of the opening sentence of "Mulan Ci" is "Chirp and chirp, Mulan is a household weaver." It can be seen that Mulan is not only witty, brave, filial and loyal, but also has the basic ability that an ordinary girl should have: diligence and virtue.

The image of Mulan in the hearts of Chinese fully reflects the Chinese's aesthetic ideals for women, and Mulan's body basically has all the advantages of women everyone can think of.

As an aesthetic form, Mulan is cosmopolitan.

In Mulan's basic story structure, there are many elements that are cosmopolitan. Interpreting it from different angles will taste different connotations.

It is also a woman dressed as a man, which is also in line with the aesthetic needs of the West for women's independence, and the same "12 years of peers" is exactly in line with the West's sense of responsibility and equality.

But when we re-examine this story with modern thinking, some questions will arise: how does Mulan ensure that her identity is not discovered when she is with a group of big men every day?

What to do with a bath?

What to do when you go to the toilet?

What should we do during the special period?

This had to be taken into account when the film was adapted.

In the movie, these doubts must be explored.

And it is precisely because of a certain amount of discussion that in the end, whether it is the content of the story or the way of expression, the Oriental people who are familiar with this story have a strange and familiar feeling.

In order to ensure a certain degree of loyalty to the story and make European and American audiences understand and like it, what Qiao Feng can do is to borrow the basic structure of the traditional Mulan story, and do a lot of Western-style orientalization according to the actual situation.

Of course, Qiao Feng retained as much as possible the Oriental people's imagination of the oriental feeling of Mulan.

For example, Mulan's appearance.

In terms of character design, Mulan's image is more in line with Westerners' aesthetics of Chinese women. The Mulan in the film is not our traditional image of beauty: white skin, beautiful and long legs, she has red phoenix eyes, wheat-colored skin, and some of the characteristics of the more famous Chinese models in the world.

But Qiao Feng completely overturned the image of Mulan in the original time and space, what he wanted, what he wanted to present to the European and American audiences was an oriental beauty in the eyes of Chinese in the real sense, not the so-called oriental beauty that Westerners were accustomed to seeing.

In ancient times, Oriental women could have phoenix eyes, but they could never be wheat-colored.

A white covers a hundred ugliness, this is said from ancient times to the present.

When the Chinese are admiring wheat skin color.

In the traditional sense, long legs of Chinese beauties are not standard, but if the skin is creamy, white as porcelain is a must.

Therefore, when DreamWorks was made, Mulan's image was a completely oriental beauty.

She has a slightly angular facial line, which gives her a handsomeness with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, which is rare among women.

But she is not wheat-colored, the skin with the apricot kernel-like star eyes is better than snow, and the beautiful eyes of Danfeng are a little smart.

Although she seems to be delicate, she has vigorous skills and tenacious will.

Wearing men's clothes, the sword-eyed and star-eyed neutral appearance is the best disguise, and she becomes him, a handsome and handsome young man.

Only such a magnolia can at least not let people recognize at a glance that the male rabbit's feet are fluttering, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred;

This is the image of Mulan made in Qiao Feng's mind and in the hands of those animators in DreamWorks.

has changed a lot in terms of image, and Qiao Feng did not follow the original version in terms of storyline.

Instead, the plot of choosing a concubine was removed, and a lot of warm or stumbling family plots were added.

For Mulan, who can serve in the army on behalf of her father, marriage problems naturally cannot be escaped, and the resulting worries of parents are also indispensable.

But this will never be the reason why Mulan is so arrogant and doesn't understand female celebrities, doesn't want to dress up, etc., and can't marry such a reason.

Because such a thing would never have happened in ancient China, no family could raise such a daughter, not even a person from a rich family and a powerful family.

And it can also be seen from Mulan's words that Mulan is a very young daughter.

Twelve turns, rewards hundreds of strong. Khan asked what he wanted, Mulan didn't need Shang Shulang, he was willing to gallop thousands of miles and send his son back to his hometown.

After making a contribution, Mulan does not want to be a scholar, but wants to return to her hometown.

What are you going to do when you go back to your hometown? Open the door of my east pavilion, sit on my bed in the west pavilion, take off my wartime robe, and put on my old clothes. When the window is cloudy, the mirror is yellow.

After 12 years of fighting, what Mulan wants to do most is to change back into her old daughter's clothes, make her black hair, and stick it with beautiful flowers.

What she wants is not the emperor's reward, but to listen to the old neighbors who often boasted: Look, the flower family Mulan is so handsome.
