The story of this Japanese animation drama called "King ranking" is not new and strange: the deaf and Dumb Little Prince Boji has a soft, cute appearance and dreams of becoming the greatest king in the world under the expectation of his mother. But he was too weak to wield a wooden sword, and was ridiculed by his family officials and the people as "not the material to be a king", and the throne was robbed by his half brother. Until the prince met his first friend Kak, they embarked on the road of exploration together, and the great changes in life began immediately. The plot looks a little "old-fashioned". It seems to see the ending at a glance, but the audience exclaimed "broken defense", "tears" and "can't hold". Why can this picture book style animation with fairy tale hue, simple and rough lines and slightly young painting style poke into the hearts of adults? The king's ranking is adapted from the work of the same name by the cartoonist Shi RI Cao Fu. The animation is produced by the "hegemony society" of wit studio, which has produced popular animation such as the attacking giant and the cold of the ghost lamp. The background setting of the story is not complicated. In this magical animation world, the richness of the country, the number of brave men under his command, and the comprehensive ranking of how the king himself is as powerful as the brave are combined into the "King ranking" in the title. Kings of all countries are ranked according to the above conditions. The king ranking first can choose a treasure from the treasure house of God. The traditional fairy tale world has always been a dream. Bad people should be unforgivable. Good people should live happily. The owner should have outstanding appearance and strength, and climb to the top in the "ranking test" between the strong. However, the king's ranking with fairy tale color is obviously not a sweet fairy tale for children, but presents a more cruel reality with metaphor: bogey, who is cute and cute, is the big prince of King Perth, the seventh largest giant, but as short and thin as the "thumb Prince", he is ridiculed as a "fool" by the people because he can't speak; In the struggle for kingship, Boji's beloved teacher, sword Saint Thomas, believed in loyalty, but personally pushed Boji into the abyss in order to comply with the orders of the second prince dada. But the world of adults is not black or white. The king's ranking presents more complex human "polyhedron". The stepmother Xilin seems cruel and hot, like the stepmother in the fairy tale, preventing the protagonist from ascending the throne. But in fact, she had a knife and a bean curd heart. She didn't want bogey to be king. She didn't want him to bear too much pressure. She was willing to spend magic to secretly heal bogey who was injured after the martial arts competition. She even jumped down a tall building to save bogey. These plots, like another bright color in the cruel reality, are particularly warm and moving in the bloody pain. Different from the simple "healing direction", the king's ranking peels off the shell of reality layer by layer, revealing a less beautiful interior, but the fairy tale style of narration forms a certain hedge between cruelty and beauty. Between the strong contrast, the gentle painting style and narration, and the beauty mixed with human nature, have the power to comfort the people. In addition to realistic resonance, sincere friendship and company are also powerful tools to hit people's hearts. At the beginning of the story, because Kak could understand himself without sign language, bogey excitedly gave all his clothes to the "robber" in front of him without reservation. He also abided by the agreement to wear expensive clothes to each other every day, even if he could only wear a pair of underpants and return to the castle with a mocking smile. Seeing that bogey was black and blue after a duel with the second prince, as a "family of Shadows", Kak recalled that he had escaped the extermination under the protection of his mother, but was forced to taste the hard childhood experience of the world. With empathy, Kak did not hesitate to follow bogey all his life. In the latest episode, Kak sneaks into bogey's satchel and saves bogey when he is pushed into the gate of hell and almost swallowed by fire. When they met again, they looked at each other in tears for a long time: "no matter what happens from now on, I want to be your companion." A giant Prince deprived of power, an orphan of the "shadow family" who was rejected by the gods and changed his form, found each other and redeemed each other in the vast sea of people. This innocence and sincerity among children may be difficult to reappear in the increasingly "atomized" adult world, and can only be remembered through animation. "Human joys and sorrows are not interlinked", people are often most easily moved when they think of themselves. The quality of a work is not only measured by "whether it urges tears". However, we still "break the defense" for bogey and Kak again and again. Perhaps we saw our shadow in this realistic fairy tale: it turned out that we all lived hard in a complex and cruel world like bogey. We pretended not to hear the sarcasm, and when facing difficulties, we could only secretly shed tears behind our backs, but kept smiling in front of people. But bogey always insisted on love, dream and courage. Knowing that the reality was dark, he still chose kindness and warmth. The animation is updated to the fifth episode. The journey of bogey and Kak continues. The signs of darkness and conspiracy are gradually revealed, and the context of the story is slowly spreading out. Perhaps it is adults who need fairy tales most. They are not only the mirror of life, but also a beam of warm light retained in real life. (outlook new era)
