Chapter 261 The Ultimate Realm of Art: Appealing to Both the Refined and the Popular
The palace could not comprehend the existence of the Dao.
It was an existence he could never reach in his entire life.
He didn't know whether the other party was a team or an individual.
If it's a team, then that team is his sacred place.
If it's a person...
Worship?
No.
Perhaps it was a pilgrimage!
"Mr. Gong, what are you talking about? Is that Chinese animated film really that exaggerated?"
Standing before the palace, he listened to every detail of the palace's soliloquy, but it was precisely because he heard it that he found it absurd and laughable.
This is outrageous!
He even wondered if there was something wrong with Gong's brain.
Otherwise, how could they possibly praise a Chinese animated film so highly?
Gong shook his head: "You don't understand."
Whether it was Gong's attitude or his words, the other party clearly sensed displeasure after he finished speaking.
"Mr. Gong, although I don't understand, I do know that China's animated films will never surpass ours."
He said this not to vindicate Japanese animated films, but simply because it should be this way.
Things that are meant to be this way don't need any formal recognition.
If it weren't for the fact that these words came from Gong, he wouldn't have bothered to pay any attention.
After hearing this, Gong looked at the other person, his expression more serious than ever before:
“If it were before, you wouldn’t be wrong, but when this animated film came out, you were completely wrong.”
"In the past, China's animated films were indeed inferior to those of Japan, in every aspect, but now..."
"At least in terms of art, Japanese animated films are completely inferior to their counterparts."
"Not to mention Japan, even if all the world's animation masters were put together, they might not be able to achieve the ultimate in art."
"Impossible!" he interrupted Gong, finding the words utterly ridiculous to him.
"Why is it impossible?" Gong asked.
"Art? Can animated films from China even be called art? They're just rubbish, a pile of rubbish," he said somewhat maniacally.
"That's why you don't understand."
Gong stood up and said.
"Then tell me, why is this animated film ranked so high?"
"this……"
The man was suddenly struck by a realization. "Yes, why?"
He couldn't understand it.
I don't understand either.
I don't understand it at all.
"Let me tell you."
Just then, Gong noticed the man's confusion and said something.
"Because this film truly achieved the pinnacle of art."
What is the ultimate form of art?
"I used to think that art was an insurmountable mountain."
"Later, when I studied Chinese culture, I discovered that the great artists of China, from ancient times to the present, never considered art as something lofty and superior."
Instead, it is believed that everything in the world is art.
“From that moment on, I knew that I had been going astray all along.”
"True art is never high in the clouds, nor low in the sea, but is appreciated by all, whether refined or popular!"
"The ultimate artistic realm is one that can be appreciated by both the refined and the common people."
"It's easier said than done."
“I realized this when I was thirty, and I still haven’t been able to do it.”
"Even a tiny bit of understanding can benefit one for a lifetime."
"Applying it to animated films has given me an even greater advantage."
"And now, someone has completely combined art with animated films."
"And it was done to the extreme."
"Why is this animated film, which is in black and white, so popular?"
"Why would such a simple movie, devoid of any emotional fluctuations, reach such a high ranking?"
"The reason for this is simple: its artistic achievements have already reached their pinnacle."
"Whether you're from China, Japan, or a foreigner, you can understand it."
What does "appealing to both refined and popular tastes" mean?
"This is what it means to appeal to both refined and popular tastes!"
"This is the pinnacle of art!"
"Now, do you understand?"
After Gong finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving the man standing there in a daze.
The entire office was silent.
No one spoke; everyone was still absorbed in what Gong had just said.
What they didn't expect was that Miyazaki would give this animated film such high praise.
He even publicly stated that he could never make such an artistic animated film in his entire life.
These words made countless staff members feel ashamed.
Even Master Gong couldn't do it, so who else in the world could?
Pixar?
have no idea!
...
Ink wash painting style.
Nearly ten thousand paintings.
One set is worth over 100,000 yuan.
A perfect blend of art and animation.
The ultimate art form, perfect in its own right: appreciated by all.
Each of these points has become a focal point of controversy among netizens.
At the World Forum.
Netizens have repeatedly watched clips from the animated film "Little Tadpoles Looking for Their Mother," a mere five-minute segment that has been watched countless times.
Every time I see it, I feel a chill run down my spine from being shown off.
I didn't feel anything before, and thought this animated film was just comfortable to watch.
Now that I understand, it's a completely different feeling.
"Chinese ink paintings are a unique part of Chinese culture, but why do I find them so enjoyable?"
"I've watched it many times, but I still don't understand how to appreciate this animated film. However, I feel a sense of harmony for some reason, a kind of harmony that is hard to describe."
