초록

Recently, animation for adults in China is gradually attracting the attention of the audience. <Have a Nice Day>, directed and written by Chinese director Liu Zhen, is one of the few adult animations in China. This animation used a promotional slogan called “adult animation that has not been seen before” and brought freshness to Chinese animation, which was concentrated on kids animation. As for adult animation, many people perceive it only as “pornography” and “violence”, but stories with such critical thinking are different from childhood animation because they need to understand narratives based on serious adult thinking. It is a dangerous definition to characterize animation targeting adults simply by sensationalism and violence. Have a Nice Day is different from conventional Chinese animation in that it does not avoid the existence of violence, but mechanizes violence and turns it into a daily existence. Therefore, it has a very important meaning in the absence of critical and realistic animation in China. Using creative animation language as the ultimate realism, the serious theme of heterogeneity of human nature is interpreted accurately and sharply without losing humor. In that sense, this animation is not only an animation with a strong and unique personal style, but also conveys an important message to the current society. It will bring a different dimension to Chinese animation and is expected to further develop the novelty of Chinese animation. Focusing on Have a Nice Day, the theme, narrative structure, and narrative language of Chinese adult animation were analyzed in depth. In addition, the characteristics of realistic adult animation were summarized by focusing on visual characteristics and verbal expressions. This animation shows a cross-section of society with characters that are not exaggerated as the story proceeds with a mixture of realistic and metaphorical techniques, simple lines and dialects, and implicit sound effects. This study will provide theoretical references that can help produce adult animations in China.
