"Aerial Photography of Ancient China" - Every Mountain and River Evokes Love

The original stills of the scenery are wonderful in both the outline and the color rendering. Using the scattered perspective in traditional Chinese painting techniques, the Great Wall is embedded on the top of a mountain, reaching into the sky; then the hills are continuous and the mountains are steep; the scenery changes in the pagoda forest, the mountains are gradually steep, the forests are dense and full of vitality; the scenery gradually gets better and better, looking at the canyon, the river is vast, the rocks are towering, and the birds are circling in the misty sky; the peaks stretch to the two wings, the mountains are gradually slowing down, and the wind blows the red flowers by the river; the winding path leads to a purple salt lake, and there are overlapping peaks and flat sandbanks; galloping outside the Great Wall, the dark clouds cover the sun, and a touch of red scarf shines eye-catchingly between the swords and shadows; in the silent dark night, a reincarnation of good and evil is opening up between the Northern Wei and Rouran countries...

The film's creative team boldly combined traditional Chinese ink painting with verdant landscape painting, leading the audience to appreciate the beauty of the motherland's landscape, feel the magnificent mountains and rivers of China and its ever-changing landscape, and make it difficult for people to hide their love for the land of Yanhuang. Some viewers even praised the film as "simply an aerial shot of ancient China." As the first domestic Mulan animated film, "Mulan: Rise of a Warrior" was completely produced by a domestic team, full of the most ardent national style feelings, and aims to tell the audience a Mulan story full of patriotism and innovation.

Look at the landscape painting to reproduce the elegant Chinese aesthetics

It is reported that the behind-the-scenes team has conducted a lot of learning and reference for each scene in the Chinese animation film "Mulan: Rise of a Warrior". Recently, the film's director Liao Guanghua revealed in an interview with the media that the film's landscape and architectural designs with oriental artistic conception and aesthetics were actually inspired by Chinese traditional paintings, such as Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and the Chinese painting master Li Keran's "Northern Landscape", striving to show the charm of traditional Chinese landscape paintings in the art scenes of contemporary Chinese animation.

Since the film project was launched in 2015, the team has spent five years to innovate the Chinese comic Mulan. For re-deconstructing such a classic IP that has undergone countless adaptations, the innovation of a modern perspective is a major difficulty, but also a highlight of the film. Whether in character modeling or scene design, the main creative team has conducted new explorations and practices, aiming to present the true Chinese aesthetics. Why not go to the cinema together during the National Day holiday to appreciate the transcendent and beautiful "aerial photography of ancient China"!

The Chinese animated film "Mulan: Rise of a Warrior" will be released in domestic theaters on October 3!
