Can adult animation bring forth the new "Mr. Miao" continue to write the good results of Guo Man?


1905 movie network news Before Beijing finally waited for a rainstorm bigger than the day Yiping asked her father for money, Beijing fans took the lead in squatting for a piece of good news.


According to "Beijing Daily" news, from August 14th, the upper limit of cinema attendance in Beijing will be adjusted to 50%, and films with a duration of more than two hours will no longer be suspended midway — — And this is also the epitome of the adjustment of the screening policy in many cinemas across the country, which means that it will be screened in advance this Friday.And replay the classics.And so on will be "reflected in the end", andtallpeakThe phenomenon of "one ticket is hard to find" during the time period will also be greatly alleviated.


Of course, under the situation that the attendance rate of the national re-screening theaters is only 30%, the public’s enthusiasm for watching movies has always been high: not only will the "old films" be re-screened, but also the new films with poor reputation will gain satisfactory results.


The worst trend, probably only once had high hopes.


The box office score of less than 9 million in the first week is just that the storm has been going on since the film came out:


Mr. Miao, which was originally scheduled to be released last year as the finale, chose to withdraw the file on the day before the original schedule after gaining a lot of praise; After a long wait, as the first domestic animated new film to play after the re-release of the cinema, Mr. Miao, who has been online for less than a week, has made a high-profile statement to switch to webcasting … …



Just as the box office was frustrated, the word-of-mouth of the film was also reliving the embarrassment when it was shown last year. The score of Douban film, which has been declining slightly since the opening of the painting, is now approaching the passing line; The film producer Fang Tiaowu Film Industry once said that "you should do everything you post money". Obviously, the trend on the "wonderful" expected road is not very good.


Good people are hard to find.

Adult concept, stereotype elimination


It is recommended for viewers over the age of thirteen.Self-grading the above sentence into the publicity of "Mr. Miao", the confidence of the adult audience is obvious.


However, in the post-screening evaluation of these audiences, the main concepts such as "adult", "Diablo" and even "experiment" are expected, but there are almost no traces of landing.


In the story universe set by Mr. Miao, fools are in the so-called "creator" — — Under the temptation of the flowers on the other side created and spread by Mr. Miao, he fell into a human hell of greed and illness. Ironically, the only host suitable for parasitic reproduction of flowers on the other side is one of the few good people in the world with pure heart.


In order to save the "bad guys" who are fighting endlessly, the trackers must eliminate the flowers on the other side; In order to achieve this goal, we must put out the "good people" who provide the living environment for the flowers on the other side. Killing a few good people can save thousands of bad people, which sounds like a tailor-made choice for adults.


However, with the extension of the plot, this problem continues to expand in the movement of world outlook variants.


Within the "alliance" of trackers, the problem of killing good people is divided into the choice of "killing by others" or "self-sacrifice"; To the villain — — In the eyes of "laughing people" who never laugh, the accelerated infighting of bad people is the only way for good people to become the mainstream of the world; In the "wonderful" hands of the ultimate BOSS "Mr. Miao", human life is nothing more than a tiny part of the world. Even if human beings die, the world will not get worse … …



The value concept that seems to be upgraded step by step has not been reasonably supported on both sides.


From a technical point of view, the preparation of Mr Miao before the battle of "Laughing at People" is both long and fragmented. In order to show the temptation of flowers on the other side, the plot of brothers eating each other is set up; In order to present the differences between Ding Guo and Yin Feng in the concept of "killing good people" respectively, the corresponding bridge sections were filled mechanically. This overlapping fill-in-the-blank structure of comic plays undoubtedly greatly reduces the significance of animated films.



While the transition is absent and the frame skipping is remarkable, Mr Miao is also in the process of upgrading the seemingly complicated world outlook, which reduces the original dark satire texture, which deeply digs into human desire and has a sword-leaning meaning, to the mainstream value of environmentalist world movies.


What’s the difference between "Mr Miao"’ s idea of "clearing" human beings by stubble with flowers from the other shore and Thanos’s ring fingers that evaporate half the world?


Sir, not good

When something goes wrong, it’s a golden sentence.


"Mr Miao" is adapted from an unpretentious animated short film of the same name. The biggest reason why many viewers choose to watch Mr. Miao is that it is tied to the in-depth "sister film" directed by Si Fan.



Despite the same technical criticism, the Great Protector, which was born three years ago as a pioneer, provided a domestic example for adults to make animated films together with its release in the same year. In the social model based on the images of peanut man and duck, the Great Protector, which shows its fantasy advantages, turns all cruelty into an imaginary storm that makes people laugh or shudder by means of gorgeous but restrained metaphors.


However, the director’s "Mr. Miao" was changed, but the motivation was insufficient in the most successful point of the "previous work". Regardless of the character modeling that almost gives up creativity, the flower on the other side, as the narrative core, is already an overused prop for real-life movies.


Under the support of such a lack of creativity, Mr Miao, who should have won by painting images, jumped into the abyss of language programs without hesitation.


"No life should be sacrificed for others unless it is voluntary."


"The world has been dark for too long, but fortunately, it is about to dawn."


"People don’t fall because of flowers on the other side, but because of falling, they attract flowers on the other side."


… …


At first glance, the profound and bluffing golden sentences, whether in the film with split painting style or in the life outside the frame, are all empty words in the logical sense that cannot be studied carefully. Adults who have been tortured by "chicken soup for the soul" for too long in real life, why bother to relive these nightmares of boiling frogs in warm water in the fantasy world of animated films?


Perhaps, this work, which still has a bit of spirit, can only be lost in polishing and regret on the way to the opportunity of setting files again and again. However, no matter whether the screen is reunited after a long separation or the audience is full of expectations, it is worth meeting with a better screen.
