Recently, the ink and wash national style animation film "Heavy Rain" released a character poster, for the first time, four key camps: the "civilian" faction represented by the steamed bun father and son, the "magnates" faction represented by the leader of the Black Dragon Army (Liu Dahuan), the "Drum Boat" faction represented by the fairy brother (Mu Yingzhi), and the "mysterious power" represented by the Yeling people. In addition, in terms of image design, the characters not only have the distinctive characteristics of "brain-opening", but also contain unique elements of traditional Chinese culture: such as the puppet helmet of steamed buns, the Peking Opera mask of the little opera singer, etc. The character poster boldly uses traditional Chinese contrasting colors, giving people a visual enjoyment. The movie "Heavy Rain" is the return work of the "ghost director" Bu Sifan after "Big **" and the original team spent six years to create. The film tells the story of the boy Mantou who boarded the drum boat in search of his father and started a "rebirth drama" on a rainy night, which will be released nationwide on January 12, 2024.
Four camps**: The undercurrent under the class is surging and the shuffle is "reborn" on a rainy night
There are 12 character posters released this time, and the four key camps of the film are the first time. First, it is the powerful faction represented by the Black Dragon Army: the profit-hungry legion leader Liu Dahuan, the freshly clothed and angry overseer Liu Ziyan (Liu Dahuan's daughter), and the ranger Liu Dale (Liu Dahuan's brother). The second is the civilian faction represented by steamed buns and Daguzi: the steamed bun line "Don't leave me, I will become more and more capable", echoes Daguzi's line "I've been lying to Mantou to make him believe that the world is not so bad", showing the mutual redemption relationship of mutual worry. Third, it is the "fairy brother" Mu Yingzhi as the representative of the drum boat faction: the young master of the Mu opera troupe (Mu Yingzhi) who "forgot who he is" and the little opera singers who don't know whether they should "be in a dream" or "wake up", showing the struggle of the drum boat party against fate and the entanglement of choices;The strangely shaped Jiao monster also corresponds to the "monsters on the drum boat" mentioned in the previous trailer. Fourth, it is the "mysterious power" represented by the Yeling people: the Yeling people will summon the divine bird and open the door to "rebirth" on a rainy night.

The new character relationship brings out the "past" and the character design is brain-opening, "weird and cute".
In addition to the four camps of the film, the new character relationships full of story also aroused the audience's curiosity. Although Liu Dahuan and Liu Ziyan are father and daughter and are in the same famous Liu family, they have very different personalities: Liu Ziyan is kind and righteous and does not obey his father's control;Liu Dahuan's interests come first, unscrupulous means, and he wants to get the world's treasure night silk satin. The collision of truth and interests is intertwined, and the relationship between the two will go, which is exciting. It is worth mentioning that although Liu Dale was also born in the Liu family, which has a strong bureaucratic atmosphere, he is unrestrained and unrestrained, and has become a family member from all over the world. And the poster** Ruan Qin, who is now in Liu Dale's hands, also appeared in the hands of "fairy brother" Mu Yingzhi, and the story of the two in their past and present lives is full of "fate", which arouses speculation and curiosity among the audience.
The characters of "Heavy Rain" are "brain-opening" in terms of image design, and contain rich elements of traditional Chinese culture. For example, the hat of the steamed bun borrowed the design of the puppet, or laid the groundwork for the identity of the biological father of the steamed bun. The masks of the little opera singers on the boat refer to the design of the Peking Opera masks, drawing the faces of Xiao Wukong and Xiao Bajie, hiding the dream of the little opera singers to become "big heroes". At the same time, the hand-painted poster adopts the contrasting design of traditional Chinese colors, showing the oriental beauty of the Chinese style of ink painting.
It is reported that the ink and wash Chinese-style animation film "Heavy Rain" is directed by Bu Sifan, produced by Shanghai Jintu Pictures and Shanghai Chinese Films, and will be released nationwide on January 12, 2024.
