Forty years later, there are still more than 10,000 people on Douban who are thinking about "Lao Lang Treat", and the score is not low. Why is this cartoon unforgettable?
The author thinks, firstly, the story is simple but interesting. Second, the animation details are amazing. Third, the dubbing is wonderful and unforgettable.
First of all, the story of the bad guys' success.
Synopsis of "Lao Lang Treat": Lao Lang caught two chickens and stewed them, and prepared to invite Lao Xiong to drink and eat chickens. The fox stole the chicken, then ran halfway to stop the old bear and lied to him that the old wolf was going to cut the old bear's ear.
The old bear sneaked a look, only to see the old wolf sharpening his knife. He ran away soon. The fox took the opportunity to tell the old wolf that the old bear stole the chicken and ran away.
In a rage, the old wolf took a knife to chase the old bear. After they had a fight, they found that they had been cheated by the fox who had had enough to eat and drink.
Generally speaking, all kinds of film and television works we often see, including cartoons, are the end of positive energy, that is, justice is done and bad people are severely punished. Works ending in black humor are generally rare, such as Death Money.
"Lao Lang Treat" is an animated film, but its ending is that the bad guys succeed, which is really extremely rare. The only thing that can be explained is the evil faces of the old wolf and the old bear, which means that the fox deceives the old wolf and the old bear and belongs to "black eating black". After all, wolves and bears who eat chicken are not good things.
However, it is precisely because of the black humorous ending of "Lao Lang Treat" that this work has a different charm from other cartoons, isn't it?
Second, the animation details are amazing and greedy.
Lao Lang Treat is the work of 1980, but the picture quality is not out of date even after forty years. The strength of Shanghai Meiying Factory in those days can be seen. After all, this is a place where even Japanese animation circles come to exchange and learn.
For example, the author noticed a detail. When the old wolf chased the old bear with a knife, the old bear turned around and saw the old wolf chasing him, and it exploded in an instant. A small detail perfectly depicts the degree of fear of the old bear.
Of course, the last thing we will forget is Lao Lang's chicken soup. I believe many people have been in this state, and they want to drink chicken soup when they see the old wolf treat them.
It is also interesting to say that the chicken soup in an animated film can make people hungry, and even the nose can feel the rich flavor of chicken soup. This is indeed a masterpiece.
The author once thought that it was because we were poor in the 1980s that we couldn't drink chicken soup often. However, even if I relive this animation in this age of overnutrition, my mouth will still water.
It seems that the cartoonist's level is too high, which perfectly captures several aspects of chicken soup, and the fox's expression and movements also play a plus role.
In addition, the song and soundtrack of "Lao Lang Treat" are also excellent. In addition to the singing of the old wolf and the old bear, the whole movie often has a playful and relaxed whistle, which makes this funny story more humorous.
Third, the final animation of the voice master
There are only three roles for the old wolf to treat, namely, the old wolf, the old bear and the little fox.
However, this film should actually have four voice actors.
Many materials about Lao Lang's treat were written by three voice actors: Qiu Yuefeng, Yu Ding and John Cheng.
What we can be sure of is that Yu Ding voiced the old bear and Cheng Xiaohua voiced the fox.
They are also the voices of the painter Augustine and the blonde Juliet in the French comedy film Escape from Danger. Imagine Augustine and Juliet pretending to be husband and wife, coupled with the image of an old bear and a fox, which is very interesting.
The only problem is the voice of the wolf. Although many materials say that Lao Lang's voice is Qiu Yuefeng, you can actually hear that Qiu Yuefeng just sang Lao Lang's song at the beginning of the cartoon: "I am lucky today, capture two chickens alive, capture two chickens alive-two chickens ..."
The rest of the voice was made by Yang, that is, the voice of the police chief Yacun chasing.
In fact, according to John Cheng's memory, she also remembers that she, Yu Ding and Qiu Yuefeng wrote "Lao Lang Treat". Then why did the voice of the old wolf in the back finally change to Yang?
One thing we can guess is that all works, whether cartoons or movies, must pass the censorship. If they fail or have problems, they will have to go back and re-record or modify them. This is a very normal phenomenon. Especially "Wolf Treat" is an animated film with a black humor ending. So it is very likely that the cartoon "Lao Lang Treat" produced by 1980 was replayed and re-recorded.
Another thing we can confirm is:1On March 30th, 980, Qiu Yuefeng took his own life.
In other words, 1980' s cartoon "Lao Lang Treat" died when it was called back to modify some dubbing, and the crew had to find Yang to re-record the dialogue.
And Qiu Yuefeng's voice is still in the part where Lao Lang sings.
This is also the last animation work of Qiu Yuefeng, the voice master.
