Abstract

The first domestic reality CG (Computer Graphics, also called Computer Animation) magical fantasy film Legend of Ravaging Dynasties was released with an investment of 150 million yuan in 2016 during the National Day holidays in China. The film directed by Guo Jingming, gathered 11 stars who had big influences on the social media, including Fan Bingbing and Wu Yifan. However, the film suffered a box office Waterloo. In contrast, the trilogy series of the magical films Lord of the Rings known as the western version of Journey to the West created nearly a box office miracle of nearly billion dollars, and also won 17 Oscar awards, which was a harvest of both box office and reputation. Domestic magical fantasy film is now facing problems, such as lack of original creation, rough special effects, stress on the appearances more than acting skills. How should domestic magical fantasy films learn from the western ones?
