The behind-the-scenes production of the studio

The film is made by combining real people with animation. In the film, the painter is played by Wan Guchan, and the small paper figure is drawn by animation. There have been many problems in drawing, which have been solved by ten thousand brothers. For example, in the film, there is a scene in which small paper men fight, which shows that the actions of small paper men fighting should not be moved, but things that should not be moved, such as the wall clock and the desk in the studio, move instead. After repeated experiments, they finally came up with the idea of copying the film with celluloid, that is, drawing all the moving objects on transparent celluloid, drawing the background that should not be moved on paper, and then folding it up and shooting one by one, which made the film a success.

As early as 19 19 to 1922, when Wan Brothers came to Shanghai Commercial Press from their hometown of Nanjing to work in fine arts, they had the idea of touching China's landscape paintings. They watched the cartoons drawn by American animation artist Max Fonek and his brothers. In the case that the animation technology and materials are strictly blocked by European and American animation manufacturers, they converted their 7-square-meter house into a studio for drawing, developing and screening, and bought an old camera and converted it into a video camera with the money saved by saving money, and explored the experience from hundreds of failed experiments. 1926, they successfully developed the animation "Make a scene in the pavilion where they live in Sanfengli, Tiantong 'an Road, Zhabei, Shanghai.

China's first animation, born in 1926, is the earliest animation "Subversion of the Paper Man" in China, which was created by Wan Brothers (Wan Laiming, Wan Guchan, Wan). The inspiration is the ink bottle created by Max Fleischer from the United States in 192 1 year.

Since then, Wan Brothers have successively produced subversive works of Reply and Paper Man. Together with the studio, it was rated as "the first three animations in China".
