After 25 years of Sloppy King's encounter,

The repair edition of "The Adventures of Sloppy King" has been released sloppy king, Rat King and other classic animated image 25 years later on the screen, which for the Chinese animation industry, is not a taste in the heart Xu Sophie 25 ago, animated cartoon "Sloppy King Adventures" hot, let the audience see a not love clean and playful protagonist-" Sloppy king. " The "small sloppy, really ah really sloppy" theme song, there is the phrase "filthy eat not sick" mantra so far still make many viewers unforgettable. A few days ago, as the Shanghai United States Shadow factory "beautiful Shadow Classic Theater" of the launch of the film, the theater repair version of "Sloppy King Adventures" in the country released. 87 version of the creator-director Chanyunda and Shan Chun, screenwriter Ling to rescue three old artists again, the classic animation works to repair, editing, so that the original 135 minutes of the plot to concentrate to 85 minutes, after the restoration of the screen color saturation than the old version of better. "Sloppy King the role of the image is very fashionable-explosive head, horn pants, although he is sloppy, but witty and courageous, wide range of knowledge, and now the children are somewhat similar." "The content is not outdated even today," the old writer, Ling, told reporters in his original intention to repair "sloppy king". "The Adventures of Sloppy King," The birth process is full of "childlike innocence." Ling Shu in the early years of the Inner Mongolia grassland to collect material, the results found that the local is suffering from rodent, "I thought, is not able to write a cartoon, from the child's perspective to see the mouse, the consequences of environmental damage." "Coincidentally, Ling-Shu's daughter likes playing with sand and often makes herself" scruffy ". He created the image of "Sloppy King". 1985, "Sloppy King Adventures" project started. Director Chanyunda and Shan Chun love the story. Sloppy King is not a tall and full hero, "this is rarely seen in literary works at the time," Shan Chun recalls. At that time, as the art design of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, he will be the symbol of the 80 's Kedershun-bang, Hai and Bell "wear" in the "Dirty King" body. He also "Facebook", so that the insidious cunning of the "short tail", the belly of the Rat King, good and clever "little white mouse" and so lifelike. Shanghai Art Film studio director Qian once lamented, like "Sloppy King adventures" such a classic, is the planned economy era regardless of the cost of creating brilliant. "Sloppy King Adventures" production lasted two years, production team of nearly 50 people, divided into several echelon, all using manual stroke coloring. Just in order to create the underground chambers of Mice, the creators visited XI ' an, Zhengzhou, Nanyang and Beijing, a number of underground palaces, the king of the throne sitting, on the Mawangdui tomb excavated from the bronze "匜". According to the script design, the animation series should have three parts, the audience in the 80 's saw 13 episodes of animation series is only the first part of the script. "The second and third parts have more fantastic imaginations," said the two scripts, including vampire bats and Alien mice. Finally, because of funds, ideas and other reasons, "Sloppy King Adventures" produced13 episodes after the abrupt halt. First Financial daily (micro-blog): The "Sloppy King Adventures" repair version from 135 minutes to clip into 85 minutes, in fact, not only to repair the problem, can be called "Re-creation"? Ling Shu: The term "re-creation" is clearly inappropriate. In the repair version of "Sloppy King", we did not redo, add a lens, so the scope of innovation is very small. But because of the deletion of One-third, but also to retain the original essence, and must ensure fluent, fluent, we did spend a lot of time, not only a lens a lens to discuss, and sometimes even a frame of the time to weigh. Daily: This cartoon is not as a film material, but the market-oriented and repair, so not just follow the "repair old" principle, at that time how the factory is discussed? Ling Shu: It was indeed suggested that, in order to improve the acceptance of modern audiences, dialogue had better have some of the most popular languages today. But we insist to "repair the old as before", to maintain the original appearance, not only the plot, story structure, theme, character image can not be changed, is the dialogue should faithfully reflect the language habits of the year, "authentic." Of course, as a result of cutting a lot of lenses, in the content cohesion, or through a very small amount of dialogue to make up. In addition, because the climax of the movie theater must be more intense than the television series, we added at the end of the film "Another five minutes, to shrink the drug will be ineffective, do not run out will never go out of" the details, unfortunately, due to the length of the limit, and can not make a pat, it is not fully unfolded, rendering, it is regrettable. Daily: The repair version is mainly for the nostalgia of the crowd or children? Ling Shu: Nostalgia does bring a group of viewers, but the cinema is more definitely a child. Cartoon has a rule: 6 Years a reincarnation. That is, every 6 years, there will always be a new group of children, all old movies are new to them. In addition, sloppy king this image is very fashionable, and now children are similar, can arouse their resonance. Also, the theme of the film today also has a positive significance-some people think that the film is to educate everyone love clean, wrong, the theme is to protect the environment, cherish the Earth. The rampant nature of the rat kingdom is itself the result of the destruction of the ecological environment in the course of human development. Finally, we must note that the European and American cartoons often have some personification of the mouse, like Mickey Mouse in the United States, British detective rats, French cooking rats king, we this "dirty King" inside also has a cute little white mouse, she yearned for the sunshine under the beautiful nature, love mankind, love the art of mankind, can sacrifice themselves for friendship. She not only has her own thoughts and feelings, and has the same dignity as human life. This concept of animal survival and human discrimination is fully consistent with today's new understanding of the relationship between man and nature. So, a lot of the content of our film is not obsolete today. Daily: The image of sloppy king so rebellious, there was no controversy? Ling Shu: At that time, this image is indeed very different. However, there was no resistance during the filming. Because at that time was the beginning of reform and opening up, the "Cultural Revolution" whenUltra-left in the memory, extreme disgust. This script just broke the long-term entrenched literary and artistic creation of some rigid things, such as the protagonist must be a hero, can not have the slightest flaw and so on. These things don't seem to be a problem today, but twenty or thirty years ago, it was a very special, a bit of a fad. In fact, "Dirty King" although there are shortcomings, but also have a series of good quality, personality is very rich. He is not a "problem boy". Daily: Many people say that there is no shortage of animation talent, the most missing is the script. Ling Shu: China's animation has been very brilliant, because the labor cheap. But the animation director and the writer these high-end creative talented person, with the world advanced country still has the certain disparity. Of course, the script gap is even bigger. For commercial animation, not to tell the story, for the art of animation, but also lack of comprehensive artistic accomplishment, let alone experimental animation of the spirit of exploration. In fact, almost everyone, whether a leader, an investor, or a cartoon practitioner, doesn't value the script. The University animation department does not have the writer profession, also does not have the related curriculum. Only the Beijing Film Academy has a department of film and Literature. But feature films and animated scripts are quite different, and the latter require a richer animation of the imagination, the written words to be able to draw. It is impossible to create a good animated script without understanding the mode of production of cartoons. More than that, the cartoons for children also have children's perspectives. The drama and many details, like "Sloppy King", are children's imaginations and fantasies. Therefore, the animation writers to understand the characteristics of the film, understand the characteristics of drama, familiar with the arts, mastering a certain literary ability, is an interdisciplinary talent. Daily: Speaking of children's perspective, now many cartoons are out of the children's standard, the box office very good "Pleasant goat" series is also full of adult calculation and violence, how to view this phenomenon? Ling Shu: "Pleasant goat" is a very special example. It is in many aspects, such as the way of creation, distribution, there are many can be summed up, in the art is also a matter of opinion, even have a completely opposite evaluation. Perhaps, it is in the current China came into being, and can not be copied, the animation industry internal criticism more, but I think there are many can be sure of the place. However, if you do not pay attention to the depth and artistry of the continuous improvement, just blindly large-scale production, trying to squeeze the audience last article box office, the outcome may be worrying.
