China Youth Network, Beijing, July 14th (Reporter Zeng Fanhua) Sun Lijun, deputy dean of Beijing Film Academy (referred to as "Beiying"), was promoted to the international list. What makes him more pleased is the self -transcendence of Beiying teachers and students in recent years.

A few days ago, Animation Career Review officially released the top 25 of the 2022 International Animation College (excluding American institutions). As the only college in China, Beijing Film Academy has risen by 3 in last year, ranking 17th, 17th, ranking 17th, 17th, and ranked 17th. Pickup ranks first in Asia.

"Overseas institutions are not enough to know about Chinese universities." Li Jianping, Dean of Beiying Institute of Animation, said with a smile on the reporter of China Youth.com, "If they know more in detail, I believe the ranking will rise."

As the earliest universities in China to set up animation education, Beiying set up animation classes in 1952. In 2000, the Beijing Academy of Film Academy became the first academy in the country. In 2005, Beiying became the first university in China to complete the aater line animation film.

Red gene lyric innovation

"The Beiyingman upholds the red gene that is rooted in the heart from the Yan'an period. There is a new creative spirit in his bones." Sun Lijun said.

Wang Hao, a teacher of Beiying Institute of Animation, told China Youth.com reporters that as early as ten years ago, under the leadership of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture, the three universities of Beijing Film Academy, Beijing Normal University, and Communication University of China opened the "Joint Cultivation of High -end Talents of Anime "Plan", Sun Lijun is one of the planners. This innovation model attracted the attention of media such as the People's Daily and China Youth Daily, and won the first prize of the Beijing Teaching Achievement Award and the second prize of the National Teaching Achievement Award. The "Ada Experimental Class" of Beiying Animation Institute is another creative expansion from this model.

According to reports, the Ada Experimental Class is an international and creative undergraduate teaching experimental classes supporting the Beijing Film Academy. In order to promote the traditional Chinese animation school art, inherit graduation, and teach in Beiying animation, Mr. Ada's love and unremitting pursuit of animation and unremitting pursuit And set up. Each of the Institute of Animation has selected about 15 people from the new students through the freshmen. "For all the students of Ada Can and even Beiying, they all use the standards of virtue and talent to evaluate. Not only are the professional levels good, but also the good morality." ", Those who are concerned are worried that" the children will lose their directions. "

"I said to the students, don't do the 'cultural traitor' in the future -if it is a bit serious, then take a step back -don't 'lack of calcium", don't produce the melamine of culture. " Come, a shot, a play, and even a film may affect the values ​​of the audience, especially the children -and this problem is not necessarily the primary consideration of the market and capital. Therefore, evaluating a work can not be based on market performance, nor can it be blindly lost from the public.

"Behind the market is inevitable that capital is profitable, and what is pursuing immediate income." Sun Lijun and reporters recalled that twenty years ago, he rely on the initial funding of 100,000 yuan from the home to "steal" from home. The animated film "Little Soldiers Zhang Ga" -In that year, when choosing this subject, Sun Lijun had already expected many difficulties -the theme works of the leather themes would not be favored by overseas, and the high -profile veterans also bluntly said that "must be compensated" and faced directly. Western anime has swept the global challenges and encouraged Sun Lijun to bid towards Hushan.

In an interview with the media that year, he said: "After the reform and opening up, we see Disney. If we don't shoot, we ca n’t shoot them anymore — this will be defeated. What does it mean to live? I just want to prove it. If even the subjects such as "Small Soldiers Zhang Ga" can make money, what can other themes cannot make money? "

Directed the first animated film by himself, but he had to choose the most difficult way. Sun Lijun and his colleagues failed to create a miracle after all. The humble working environment, the dangerous SARS epidemic, the heavy workload, the hesitation of investors ... none of them could not stop the creation of the film. Because the issuer told investors: The movie market is not good, it is estimated that this film will not be charged.

It is destined to lose money, and investors will not do it naturally. Although Beiying's "Small Soldiers Zhang Ga" ended the history of Beijing's no original animated films, it failed to release the theater line after all.

"This is really the pain of my life." Sun Lijun said to a reporter from Zhongqing.com.

After heartache, it was uneven. Later, Sun Lijun ran to the countryside with his equipment and pulled his daughter to show his works for free. The Xinghe in the sky is bright, and the square is crowded. After the film, the folks exit and disperse. Sun Lijun has a taste in his heart.

In fact, "Little Soldiers Zhang Ga" has a well -received industry, and has won a lot of honors -the 11th China Government Watch Award Outstanding Animation Award, Beijing Literature and Art Award, the 26th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award for Best Art Film Award, 2008 French Angxi Film Festival official screening works, shortlisted Ukraine International Film Festival, the 4th China International Animation Festival Beauty Monkey Award Animation Long Film Award, shortlisted in the Seoul International Youth Film Festival in South Korea -Sun Lijun, who has rooted in China's fertile soil, understood that he chose to choose A broad road, but this road is destined to stay away from shortcuts and full of thorns. When the fish and bear's paw cannot be both, the tenacious college sent a straight waist. The market loves or does not love, Sun Lijun is here -try not to be sad or not, and always be vigilant. In any case, donations from Tang. Five years later, the "Rabbit Man" who was born in the sky helped Sun Lijun for a sigh of relief. Sun Lijun's animated film "Rabbit Man Legend" directed in 2011 was exported to more than 100 countries and regions around the world. The British "Guardian" reporter in Beijing published an article after watching the article "Chinese animation challenge Hollywood." "Rabbit Man Legend" also won the 14th China Radio and Film Award "Film Hua Table Award" Excellent Animation Award, the 28th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award for Best Art Film Award, the 3rd London Vientiane International Chinese Film Festival Excellent Animation Award , The Best Animation Film Award of the First Animation Award of the Chinese Culture and Art Government Award, the 2011 Chinese Film Movies Outside of the Film, and the official exhibition of the Russian Chinese Animation Exhibition.

Either stubborn, wind bone. The "hero complex" of Beiying animators has continued. In 2020, the animated film "The cutest people" directed by Li Jianping as the director and directed by many teachers of Beiying Institute of Animation was released. When talking about the original intention of creation, Li Jianping said: Although there are stories and TV series created around Chinese soldiers and heroes these years, there are fewer cartoons. Animation is the favorite type of young children, and creators should not be absent. We should solve this matter.

Adhering to the inheritance and innovation of the "Chinese Animation School", and creating animated works with national characteristics and Chinese aesthetics, it is not self -defeating. Sun Lijun said that as a "Chinese style", the focus of Chinese animation is the "new structure" of classical charm. The 8K ink animation film "Lili Qiu" nominated by the 34th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award "Best Art Film" was won by the 34th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award, which can make people look at the "brain hole" of the college. The protagonist of this animated short film is the last living creature in the world. The picture shows the boring daily cycle of cycling in the "last days". It is not found until the end. The audience is the owner of the last days -the cold robot. The protagonist 躲 constantly avoids the obstacles and difficulties designed by the machine program. In order to find the call to save it in lonely life, everything is just an illusory program ...

The east ink animation presents the theme of the Western last days, which is the output and dialogue of Chinese aesthetics. For the "Chinese Animation School", this is both an active exploration of "not repeating self and not imitating others", but also an active breakout of Chinese animators facing discourse dilemma under the global perspective.

The deep leaves of the roots are melted

In 2020, Sun Lijun and the English version of "History of Chinese Animation" jointly written by the teachers of the Beijing Film Institute of Animation were published by Lau Telic Publishing House in the United States. Published by the society. This is a frequent appearance of the work at the International Film Festival. Chinese animators introduce the development of the development of Chinese animation sources to the overseas peer system, and it is a good thing to inspire the industry.

However, few people know that during the translation period, the editor of Laitlic Publishing Hao sent an email to Wang Hao to ask if he could weaken the expression of the "Chinese Animation School" in the book because the reason is that there is no "Chinese Animation School School internationally internationally internationally. "This concept is recommended to delete it. After getting the news, everyone's hearts are mixed -this thick five hundred pages of more than five hundred pages are about the development of the "Chinese Animation School". Delete this expression. This book is tantamount to losing the soul.

"For the Chinese animation school, it is very important. It has a sense of nation's pride." Sun Lijun said.

Several struggles, the Chinese finally persuaded the publisher to keep it. In fact, the world's well -known Laudelic Publishing House has been regarded as an excellent "Zhihua School" in Western Publishing House, and has published a large number of humanistic books related to China. This episode also made the teachers and students of Beiying Institute of Animation learned that through solid works, superior translations, and diverse interactions to make Western cognitive Chinese animations still go long.

In recent years, Chinese and foreign co -production works have become the carrier of the Beiying Animator and the Western industry. Li Jianping's co -produced animated film "The Dragon" directed by Chinese director was not too anxious because of the epidemic. In his eyes, a work has been polished for years, and it is normal.

In Li Jianping's words, the combination is conducive to "better let the West see that Chinese animation has not only traditions, but also new things." Of course -also potential risks. For example A stereotype of a period of time existing in history and balanced in the aesthetic system of the East and the West. In order to make the image of "Dragon" in the film, Li Jianping made a lot of research and almost wrote a paper. "I hope that through the film, let foreign audiences understand the nature and ability of Chinese dragon." He said that foreign colleagues have the right to create creation based on their own understanding, and they also have the obligation to remind them. "Keep the bottom line and respect art. Of course, art is more than one style. We encourage and tolerate diversification -whether to partners or students." Li Jianping said.

Teaching phase Long Tao Li Fangfang

In the opinion of He Cheng and Wang Hao, teachers of Beiying Institute of Animation, students will enhance their understanding and love for local traditions after their international perspectives and diverse references.

Wang Hao said that young students have shown a trend to return to the national tide in recent years. Today, students have become more confident and conscious through systematic study of the history of Chinese and world animation.

"Although art has no borders, the artist has a country. Chinese animation goes out, introduces, and communicates with each other. The key issue of the Lord '. Learning them is a necessary method and process, but it is not eventually becoming them. "Wang Hao said," This is a little perception in my teaching. "

On the one hand, He Cheng paid attention to tolerance and encouraging students to creative ideas in different styles, and on the other hand, strict requirements on professional assessment. It is the teacher who is "duty, duty, and teacher and friend" in the students. In an interview with China Youth Network at noon, the students were still "seeing" with He Cheng because of the online class. He Cheng understood that during the epidemic, the students were very hard and worried about the children's slackness.

"For example, there are early peaks in Beijing, how to avoid traffic jams? Get up early. Others watch TV, swipe mobile phones, you go to learn, work hard, and use it for two days. We will get more." He Cheng told reporters that this was how he asked himself and then relaxed this standard to ask for students.

In He Cheng's opinion, the process of creation is the same whether teachers or students. For students, teachers will encounter it early or late. Everyone exchanged progress and enjoyed it.

Li Jianping always regards "teacher" as his first identity. For the "class", the dean of the "case of the case" always kept awe. Administrative teaching must be grasped, and he has to take into account the creation.

Thanks to the long teaching between teachers and students, they have a long teaching. In recent years, the teachers and students of Beiying Institute of Animation have achieved joy in their creations. "Cat", "Warriors", "Happy Run", "Ultimate Big Adventure", "Bartral Legend", "Wind Mantra", "Food Universe", "New Big Head Son and Little Dad", "Mysterious World Adventure", "The cutest The creators of many theater animated films such as "people" are teachers of the Institute of Animation.

In terms of students, since 2018 alone, the animation short films, comics, picture books, literature, and game student works of the Beijing Film Academy of Film Academy have won nearly 600 awards in various professional events at home and abroad. Gold award. The "Inheritance and Innovation of the Chinese Animation School -the" China Plan "project of the" Chinese Animation School "project of the" Chinese Animation School "project won the first prize of the Beijing Higher Education Teaching Achievement Award in 2022.

Sun Lijun told China Youth.com reporters that every time he has a creative project, he must insist on bringing students to participate in the production together. For Sun Lijun today, time is always much more tense than budget. Although the business outsourcing is a "worry -free and labor -efficient" choice, he is willing to spend more time to bring the students to "practice the truth" and let the children grow in actual combat.

"As a teacher, this is my pride," he said.
