Chapter 641 'Nezha Causing the Sea' and 'The Devil Boy Comes to the World'
Regarding Nezha, Li Yi actually had some ideas early on, or there was more than one movie about Nezha early on.
In my memory, Nezha was very ugly, but the box office was the highest among Chinese comics!
However, to be honest, the special effects of Nezha were indeed good, but in Li Yi's opinion, the plot had big problems.
This is probably one of the biggest shortcomings of domestic animated films, such as "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World".
First of all, let’s talk about the core of the story of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World". A good story must have a central spirit, just like the core of the Great Sage, which is knowing that you can’t save, but you still have to save, and knowing that you can’t do it, but do it
.
The core of Nezha's story should be "I have no control over my destiny."
So what is fate? Lingzhu and Mowan are dual protagonists. The destiny of Lingzhu should be to save, while the destiny of Magic Pill is to harm the world.
But in the original "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", Nezha, who is the carrier of the magic pill, has resisted the nature of the devil?
Li Yi thinks there really isn’t!
When Nezha was born, he was extremely ferocious. Later, Taiyi Zhenren used the Qiankun Circle to suppress his ferocious nature. When Nezha went berserk, he also used the Qiankun Circle to suppress it. He did not eliminate the nature of the magic pill, but just used the Qiankun Circle to suppress it.
The degree of liberation has been reduced. This is a huge failure in Li Yi's opinion.
Because as the protagonist, Nezha, as the Destiny Magic Pill, has the ferocious nature of a demon, and the core of the movie lies in resistance.
But in the end, the protagonist Nezha didn't have any intention of actively resisting the nature of Magic Pills. Instead, he was passive!
Therefore, if you really want to use this script, now that you know this flaw, you must make modifications, for example, change it from passive to active.
Ru Nezha knew that the Qiankun Circle could suppress his violence, but the process of suppressing it was painful, but he still took the initiative and worked hard to wear the Qiankun Circle.
One is passive change, and the other is active pursuit of change. Li Yi thinks the latter is more appropriate.
In terms of plot, "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is actually quite different from the older "Nezha's Mind".
In "Nezha Mind".
When Nezha was seven years old, there was a drought and the earth was cracking. The Dragon King of the East China Sea refused to drop any water, and ordered Yaksha to go to the beach to rob boys and girls. Nezha acted bravely and beat Yaksha to death with a circle of heaven and earth, and also killed Ao Bing, the son of the Dragon King, who came for reinforcements.
It's not all about standing out, it's all about the uneven road.
It can be said that the logic and outlook are relatively positive.
But "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" seems to express resistance to selfishness and caring for the people of the world.
However, the results were not good.
In the whole film, Nezha rescues a little girl twice. The first time is to save a little girl who was caught by the saliva bubble monster.
However, in order to save people, he would not hesitate to set fire to the house and destroy the house, just like the behavior in the Shanhe Sheji Tu.
It's not altruistic at all, just to prove himself. This kind of self-motivated rescue is actually the opposite of a true heroic act. He doesn't care at all whether the stone statues of Ao Bing and the little girl will be smashed and used.
This can also be seen as a weapon.
The second time Chen Tangguan rescued people, in fact, there was not enough foreshadowing. What the film showed was entirely because he finally understood his father's love, and in order to save his parents and the people, it even gave people the impression that he was just belligerent and incidental.
If not, there should be a change in mood.
And Li Jing was also inconsistent. On the one hand, he said that I was slaying demons and demons because I wanted to gain more virtue for my son. On the other hand, he said: If one day Nezha causes trouble, I, Li Jing, will definitely sacrifice my life to seek justice for everyone!
On the other side, Nezha is destroying the city wantonly without punishment, and confinement is child's play.
Master Taiyi presented Nezha with Hun Tianling and the Fire-Pointed Spear when his vicious nature had not changed, without considering the consequences at all.
It seems that as long as no one is killed, it is not a big deal.
This can be said to be an extremely incorrect outlook!
And is there a familiar sense of sight? The attitude of Li Jing and his wife towards Nezha shown in the movie and the attitude of Taiyi towards Nezha are as different as each other.
He had obviously done something hugely wrong. If Nezha was not their son or apprentice, then if he did something like this, would he be punished with a childish punishment like confinement?
Therefore, Li Yi always felt that this plot was really worthy of scrutiny.
Li Yi hasn't thought about how to change it specifically yet!
This was one of the reasons why he did not directly give the script to Zhang Haiyang and the others.
In Li Yi's opinion, the logic and conception of the script of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" are too different.
On the contrary, there is another older film in my memory, "Nezha: The Devil Boy", although it is a hand-drawn animated film, but its concept is far superior to "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World"!
In "Nezha Makes the Sea", Nezha encounters the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea who comes out to kidnap the people and kills children. He acts bravely and fights the villains. However, when the Dragon King of the East China Sea comes to investigate and accuse Li Jing, he does not come forward to protect his son. Instead, he frowns.
Cold right.
It seems that such a father is hard to like, after all, the son seems to have done nothing wrong!
But this is the wonderful part of the story. In Li Yi's view, Li Jing here is actually full of contradictions and entanglements in his heart. The Dragon King of the Four Seas is not a divine power that he can afford, but also a monstrous power that he, a mortal, cannot compete with.
Huge waves.
Under the rule, the people were homeless and homeless, but his son was the direct cause of this disaster. Even if he wanted to believe that his son was out of justice, the fact that he caused the trouble had already happened, and the consequences of harm were
It's confirmed.
At this time, Li Jing had nowhere to appeal and seek a fair ruling.
It's not that he didn't come forward to protect his son, but he knew that it was useless to come forward. Faced with the absolute power gap, he could only choose to draw a clear line with his son, so as to fulfill his responsibility as a parent official.
So as a father, Li Jing knows that he feels sorry for his son, but he is not only Nezha's father, but also his parents' official!
So Li Jing, the strict father, faced with the inability to cut his son's sword and the depressed look on his face who had caused a great disaster. When he saw his own son commit suicide, he could only rely on the pillar and cry in grief!
Not to mention Li Jing, just Nezha, he is more like a hero than in "The Devil Boy Comes to the World"!
Maybe you couldn't understand it when you were a child, but when you grow up, I believe any parent can understand it.
Li Jing's image is definitely that of a good official and a hero, even if he has too many powerlessness.
In comparison, if Li Yi were asked to choose, he would prefer "Nezha Makes the Sea" instead of the more fashionable and novel "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World"!
The former has a full story, while the latter has great special effects!
But for Li Yi, all he needs to do is spend money on special effects!
However, Li Yi did not give either of the two scripts to Xingman, but asked them to write the script themselves first.
Star Comics currently does not lack funds or technology, but what it lacks is the writing skills of top-notch animation works!
So Li Yi at least hopes that they can try it themselves instead of relying entirely on him!
Maybe his script will be used in the end, but at least, you can't do nothing and just wait for him, right?
PS: There have been a lot of happy events recently, including several college entrance examination celebration banquets for relatives’ children, and the elders’ birthday banquet that I will attend today. I have to attend several banquets, so there will be two updates today!
I re-watched "Nezha Haohai" and "The Devil Boy Comes into the World". Now it seems that the special effects are really the pinnacle of Chinese comics, but the script seems a bit lagging, and the story and concept of "Nezha Haohai" are really the best.
It’s really good! So which one do you think is better?
