The movie "Umbrella Girl" released the final trailer today. Through Qingdai's transformation as a girl, it unfolds a fantastic journey of stunning Chinese style. When Chinese comics are combined with intangible cultural heritage, a unique Chinese romance is created. At the premiere yesterday, Lin Xia, the representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Taiwan embroidery, and Song Zhiming, the second-generation inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage West Lake silk umbrella, and other intangible cultural heritage masters watched the film and interacted, telling the deep roots between intangible cultural heritage and movies, and praising the film for inheriting and promoting the spirit of intangible cultural heritage. With the dual help of cultural emotion and artistic expression, the film demonstrates a profound cultural heritage, and fully displays the unique charm of two-dimensional Chinese style animation on the screen. The wind in the summer of 2024 is the Chinese style set off by the umbrella girl. The movie "Umbrella Girl" is on hot pre-sale and will be released nationwide on July 6.

The final trailer reveals that Qingdai regains her original intention and holds an umbrella for herself, which resonates with women

In the latest final trailer, through Qingdai's adventure, the theme of a girl's transformation, growth and healing of the soul is explored in depth. At the same time, well-known mainland Chinese singers Yin Lin and Cai Yisheng sang the interlude "A Moment of Rain" of "Umbrella Girl". When ancient style and modern music interweave, when emotions and melodies resonate, an audio-visual feast begins.

As the spirit of the Qingluo umbrella, Qingdai only carried the wishes and mission of her master at the beginning, and did not know what she lived for. In order to find and protect the spirit of the black jade sword Wanggui, who is a twin with herself, she embarked on a fantasy and healing adventure accompanied by the craftsman Mo Yang and the spirit. The melody of the song climaxes again and again, and Qingdai also found her true heart in this fantasy adventure about protection and redemption, completing her own growth and transformation. Just as a silver-haired grandmother in Hanfu shared after the premiere, as an audience, she was also moved by Qingdai's transformation. Regardless of age, girls must hold an umbrella for themselves. No matter how long the road ahead is, we must move forward courageously. Not only is Qingdai's self-awakening, I believe that every emotional bond between people and spirits encountered in the movie will touch the hearts of the audience.

The movie "Umbrella Girl" uses a journey to realize the protagonist Qingdai's self-awareness awakening, personal transformation and growth, satisfying the audience's imagination of friendship, adventure, and finding one's true self.

At the premiere yesterday, the first batch of lucky viewers watched this 2D Chinese-style animation masterpiece in advance.

In the post-screening exchange session, Director Shen Jie and Producer Liu Min both talked about the challenges of 2D animation production, and frankly admitted that there is a shortage of animation production personnel at present. 2D animation requires hand-drawing of each frame, and it takes several hours to draw a frame of complex costumes. Li Wei, the director of "Jiang Ziya", said that "every frame in the movie is full of storytelling and the painting style is delicate." Then Hui Zheng, the head of Charm Animation, the production company of the movie "Umbrella Girl", was excited to see the whole movie in the theater for the first time, and said that the 100,000 frames of 2D images in the film are very beautiful, which gives people reason to believe that 2D animation will not disappear.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the guests and audiences at the premiere who held umbrellas to cheer for the film, "Umbrella Girl" also used an umbrella to bring together countless Chinese animations that were gathered because of their love. More than 40 classic animation IPs such as "Big Fish and Begonia", "Deep Sea", "Tea No. 2 Middle School", "Mr. Miao", and "Assassin No. 567" cheered for Chinese animation. A group of Chinese animation classic IPs and Chinese animation fans worked together to hold up a big umbrella for "Umbrella Girl", and also held up countless audiences' infinite expectations for the future of Chinese animation. The movie "Umbrella Girl" is not only supported by senior creators in the industry, but its mature two-dimensional Chinese style aesthetics has also inspired many young audiences from animation majors, and they sincerely shouted to the creators on the spot, "I am inspired by the movie and will continue to work hard to create two-dimensional animations and produce good works to boost the industry."
