Why is Luo Xiaohei updated so slowly? Director Mu Laining said frankly: Nobody.

  Directed by Wood.

  The domestic two-dimensional cartoon "The Battle of Luo Xiaohei" is being shown in the cinema. The director of 1984, Mu, came to Nanjing for a road show yesterday afternoon. The reporter interviewed him in the hotel. As soon as he pushed the door, he heard the team staff shout: "Director, come out for business." Director Wood came out in a black T-shirt. In the interview, Mu gave Luo Xiaohei a "reassurance": "The animated series originally planned 60 or 70 episodes, and now there are more people, so it is not a problem to update more than 10 episodes a year; The film also has a number of sequel plans, and some characters will make independent films. " Yangzi Evening News/Yangyan reporter Kong Xiaoping

  Why is the animation update so slow? The director answered two words "nobody"

  "Luo Xiaohei" was actually born in 2011. It is the protagonist in the animated series "Luo Xiaohei’s War" created by wood. The prototype of Luo Xiaohei is a black cat that the director once raised. An animated series is only about 5 minutes long, but it is often in a state of "year-old", with only 28 episodes so far. Fans make daily reminders, and this series is rated as "Lifetime" series.

  In this regard, as soon as Wood was seated, the reporter first asked this question for the fans of animated series: "Why ‘ Niangeng ’ ?” The director said simply and bluntly, "No one." When asked, he said that he was alone from the beginning and could only do two episodes a year. Later, it gradually became famous, and the team only had 10 people. "However, the update will be fast later, and more than 10 episodes should be released a year, because we have 50 people now, including 40 original painters, most of whom are post-90 s."

  Wood also told reporters that the planning of the animated series "The Battle of Luo Xiaohei" is sixty or seventy episodes. "It seems quite popular now, so keep doing it." Moreover, the film will definitely make a sequel, and there are also some plans. For example, the "old gentleman" in the film will have his own independent film. In addition, he also revealed that the next "Luo Xiaohei" movie should be three or four years later.

  Is Nezha in the film related to Ne Zha?

  "What a coincidence!" There are the Monkey King and others in "Luo Xiaohei World"

  "Nezha" appeared in the climax of "The Battle of Luo Xiaohei", which surprised many netizens, and felt that "Nezha" in "The Battle of Luo Xiaohei" was a guest appearance from the Ne Zha studio, and his personality was very similar.

  This wood told reporters that it was "coincidence". In fact, in addition to "Nezha", there are other mythical figures in China, such as "the Monkey King". Will Nezha have more scenes in the follow-up movies? Wood said that Nezha won’t have his own independent film, but he will have a closer relationship with Luo Xiaohei and others and have more scenes.

  The reporter saw that the world outlook in The Battle of Luo Xiaohei is different from China’s traditional fairy tales, and it is more like a big world outlook in which aliens and human beings coexist. This wood said that he was based on the well-known story of China traditional culture.

  What do you think of netizens praising "You are Miyazaki Hayao, China"?

  "Certainly not, and there is no need to compare, we are different."

  Mu, the director of Luo Xiaohei’s War, has many similarities with jiaozi, the director of Ne Zha: both of them are non-professional backgrounds, and they started to make animation by themselves at the university. When they first created it, they were poor but insisted on "generating electricity with love".

  With the popularity of The Battle of Luo Xiaohei, many passers-by turned to powder one after another, and said that The Battle of Luo Xiaohei had the style of director Miyazaki Hayao, and praised "Wood is China Miyazaki Hayao". In this regard, director Mu said: "It is definitely not as good as (Miyazaki Hayao), and there is no need to compare it like this. And I think our styles are completely different. " Mu told reporters that although he had seen many works by Miyazaki Hayao, he would certainly be influenced by him, but he did not approach Miyazaki Hayao subjectively in the style setting of The Battle of Luo Xiaohei.

  In addition, director Mu also revealed that he is also learning 3D technology now. "In fact, the film of Luo Xiaohei is also assisted by 3D technology. Other projects in the future will also try 3D technology.

  How is the development of Luo Xiaohei’s derivatives?

  It used to be the biggest economic source of animation, and it has been commercialized.

  Because of the rampant piracy of peripheral products in Ne Zha, Mu also told reporters about the development of derivatives of Luo Xiaohei’s War, and that Luo Xiaohei’s derivatives have been developed all the time, even the biggest income of the whole team when doing animation. "The animated drama series itself is not profitable, because the update is too slow. We started to go out in the third episode, but I didn’t expect hundreds of sets to be sold out at once. " Wood admits that before making movies, it was derivatives that balanced production expenses and income. Although the development of derivatives of domestic animation can’t be done like Disney in foreign countries, the related businesses derived from Luo Xiaohei’s IP are already in commercial operation, and there will be more development in the future.

  Do you expect box office and word of mouth?

  At first, 8.9 was a little high, but now 8.3 is normal.

  The Battle of Luo Xiaohei was released for 8 days, with a douban score of 8.3 and a box office of 200 million, which is already a very good result.

  When the reporter asked about the box office expectation, Director Mu said frankly that in fact, the word-of-mouth score and box office have reached his expectation. "When it was first released, I felt a little high when Douban scored 8.9." The reporter was scratching his head, and almost never met a director who said this about his work. Wood continued, 8.3 points is normal now.

  This year, many domestic animated films have gained a good reputation and a good box office. The reporter can’t help but ask about the topic of "the rise of the country". Director Mu said that it should be developed slowly, and it can’t be said that there is a special case.
