The towering snow-capped mountains, flocks of flying eagles... The animated film "The Trial of King Gesar" adapted from the epic "Gesar" was held in Guangzhou in advance. land.
In order to present the profound cultural heritage of the epic, the main creators have gathered in Tibet and other places to draw inspiration.
In the film, from the decoration of the utensils to the clothing to the headgear, it all comes from the daily life of the Tibetan people.
Lu Wunan, the screenwriter of "The Trial of King Gesar", interacted with the audience after the screening of the film, telling the story of the film's creation and the core ideas expressed.
Lu Wunan believes that making "Gesar" in the form of a cartoon will help children to understand their own culture, so as to inherit Gesar's excellent quality of perseverance, punishing evil and promoting good.
Lu Wunan said, "I think in China, we are not short of heroes. There are actually many heroes in traditional Chinese stories. That's why we choose cartoons when we want to spread the word. First of all, we must ensure that we are ourselves. If a child who is young can understand and understand his own culture, he must have a threshold to read these. In fact, there are far more people who have watched the 'Four Great Classics' TV series than the original, so we feel that the "Four Great Classics" TV series Sal” should be the same, we should make it simple and make it into an animation form, and it may be made into a drama form in the future, so that more people can understand it.”
"Gesar" is one of the three major epics in China. It tells the heroic story of Gesar descending into the world to subdue demons and subdue demons, all ethnic groups live in harmony, and build a beautiful homeland.
It has been inherited by rap artists from generation to generation and has been in existence for thousands of years. It is the longest and most extensive "living" epic ever owned by mankind.
Lu Wunan said, "I only gradually understood the history of Gesar and its significance in the process of doing it. After I read Gesar, I felt that its (narrative) system was very complete. Including the human world, heaven and hell, this is not to say that it can be achieved by one or two generations. It is a very large structure and can be called the encyclopedia of Tibet. I think it is very important to make this movie. something meaningful."
Excellent works are a prerequisite for going overseas.
The status of "Gesar", known as the "Eastern Homeric Epic", gave Lu Wunan confidence.
Lu Wunan said that animation is different from live-action movies, it is "painting culture" and "painting language", and it can break through the language barrier to conquer the global market.
The Chinese civilization has a profound cultural heritage, and all ethnic groups have created a splendid and colorful history and culture. It is necessary to constantly explore excellent story themes and innovate the form of communication, so as to maintain the life of culture.
