The "small chair" interviewees accompanying the heroine in "The Journey of Bells and Buds" provide images that still retain an intoxicating aesthetic and fresh image. However, the story breaks through the previous throb of youth and presents a broader perspective. From the colorful female characters to the lively appearance of small chairs and cats, Xin Haicheng presents a new self in "The Journey of Bells and Buds.". "The Journey of Lingya" provided by an interviewee. Since the film was released in Japan in November 2022, Xinhaicheng's new film has achieved outstanding box office and public praise performance. On the 24th, "The Journey of Bell Buds" landed on this big screen. Xin Haicheng recently received an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency. Regarding his new film, which was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival, the popular animation director started the topic from the "small chair" that accompanied him along the way. In "The Journey of Lingya," the male protagonist Cao Tai is transformed into a chair, accompanying the girl Lingya through hardships and warmth all the way. Finally, with courage, he closes the door to disasters that pose a threat to humanity, saving the world and himself. In reality, the three legged yellow chair representing "Caotai" has also witnessed the premiere tour of "The Journey of Bell Buds" along with Xin Haicheng, from Japan to Germany, from Beijing to Shanghai... Why is it a chair? Xinhai frankly admitted that it was because he received such a handmade chair as a gift from his father when he was a child. "As in the movie, my father made it by hand and wrote my name for me. I was really happy at that time. For children, my own small chair is the same concept as home." Xin Haicheng said that because of this feeling, at the beginning of the creation of "The Tour of Bell Buds," he also designed such a small chair for his heroine, "I hope that Lingya will also follow the chair to find her original home and the meaning of her existence." In "Lingya's Journey," such as "Your Name." "The Son of the Weather," and other works, the iconic "self consciousness" of Xinhaicheng no longer occupies the dominant position, but instead is replaced by more thinking about disasters, life, family relationships, and life. In response, Shin Haicheng stated that before the East Japan earthquake, his works focused mainly on daily life. "However, after the earthquake, it gave me a sense of fear that you don't know when this seemingly eternal daily life will collapse, which I realized was unpredictable." Although the theme was "earthquake disaster," "The Journey of Bell Buds" had a clear tone, The protagonist makes friends with strangers from Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu, to Miyagi Prefecture, his childhood hometown, and experiences a joyous adventure. Among the elements that give the viewer a bright and lively feeling are the image settings of small chairs and cats. Regarding the related design, Xin Haicheng said, "From the beginning, I hoped to make more people enjoy this film. As for the design of kittens, first of all, the theme of this work itself is disaster. I don't want everything to be too heavy. At the beginning of creation, I felt that there must be characters in it that can make the work brighter, whether it's a cat or a small chair."
