据介绍,2023年,动画短片集《中国奇谭》的首部短片《小妖怪的夏天》中,那个在浪浪山辛苦“打工”的小猪妖,曾让无数人感动落泪。

8月2日,原班主创打造的动画电影《浪浪山小妖怪》上映,讲述了发生在“平行时空”的全新故事:小猪妖、蛤蟆精、黄鼠狼精、猩猩怪四只无名小妖假扮唐僧师徒,前往西天取经的荒诞喜剧之旅。

The film, a spin-off of one of the eight stand-alone short stories from the Yao — Chinese Folktales anthology, follows the adventures of four grassroots monsters: a pig, a toad, a chimpanzee, and a mink.

Disguised as the Buddhist monk Xuanzang and his three disciples — including the iconic Monkey King from the 16th-century classic Journey to the West — they embark on a quest to obtain sacred Buddhist scrolls in hopes of achieving immortality.

电影的英文译名为“Nobody”,导演於水在接受采访时回应称“Nobody”意为“小人物”或“无名之辈”。这一译名呼应了影片中四个没有名字的小妖怪的设定。

不少网友表示,电影很真实,拿公鸡画师这段剧情为例,仿佛见到了“打工人”的日常。

Many viewers have praised the film's grounded and relatable humor. One memorable scene involving a rooster artist, for example, resonated with audiences as a reflection of the everyday struggles of working people.

为什么四个小妖没有名字?

导演回应

近日,《浪浪山小妖怪》电影导演、编剧於水在接受央视采访时,回答了关于人物设定的问题。
他表示,《西游记》原著中,有妖怪试图取代唐僧一行去取经的桥段,这也成为他创作的起点。
为什么没有给小妖起名字?於水表示曾经想给他们起名字,但是怎么起都“不太对”,不如就没有名字,因为我们都是芸芸众生。“我们就是想通过这四个人,把主要人群囊括进来,争取每个人在里面,都能看到自己。”

In an interview with CCTV, director and screenwriter Yu Shui explained his decision to leave the main characters nameless. He said Journey to the West contains a chapter where monsters attempt to replace Xuanzang's group to obtain the scriptures — an idea that inspired the film.

Yu noted that the characters were left nameless so audiences could see themselves in them: "We are all part of the masses."

他表示,小妖怪可以是鲜活的,有自己的故事——它或许弱小,但并非天生邪恶;它或许服从,但仍有自己的善恶判断。浪浪山代表着困境,每个人都有自己的“浪浪山”,我们太多时候被自己所束缚,被世俗观念所束缚……但其实你会发现,有些事情完全可以去做。

罗翔发文:

小妖冒充唐僧师徒,算不算违法?

8月6日,“罗翔说刑法”也发文,假如浪浪山不是法外之地,小妖们也算是人物,他们冒充唐僧师徒,尤其冒充东土大唐官方认证的高僧,是否触犯法条?

The film has also sparked an unusual legal discussion online. On Wednesday, legal scholar Luo Xiang posted an analysis asking whether, if the little monsters were subject to real-world law, could they be guilty of impersonating Xuanzang and his disciples — particularly the Tang Dynasty (618-907)'s officially recognized monk.

对此,文章表示,从浪浪山出发的小妖怪们,虽然冒充了唐僧师徒的名字,却不是为了骗吃骗喝,对于他们考入大王洞也没有丝毫帮助,更何况唐僧的僧人身份也不是国家工作人员,所以应该是不构成冒名顶替罪和招摇撞骗罪的。

His conclusion: probably not. The monsters gained nothing from the disguise, and Xuanzang was not a state official.

文章列举了相关的《刑法》法条,并作出解读:

罗翔表示,直到电影结束,我们还是不知道他们的名字,他们只是一群努力上进的无名之辈,怀有小小的理想,祝大家都能“活成自己喜欢的样子”。
