动画系列电影反英雄配角人物的角色设计研究——以《哪吒之魔童闹海》之申公豹为例

A Study on the Character Design of Anti-Hero Supporting Roles in Animated Feature Films—A Case Study of Shen Gongbao in “Ne Zha: The Demon Child’s Rebellion at the Sea”

摘要: 动画电影《哪吒之魔童降世》与《哪吒之魔童闹海》成绩出众，其中反英雄配角人物申公豹颇受关注。从角色设计的角度对比两部动画中的申公豹，该角色最大的特点是从前一部的传统反派转变至后一部的反英雄形象。此转变体现在角色构建中的角色形象、特性及角色关系上。同时角色转变也为电影拓展了新叙事，构建了新悬念。以上角色设计满足了观众对立体角色和深度叙事的期待，由此得出动画系列电影中反英雄配角的角色设计规律，为该领域提供了理论与实践参考。

Abstract: The animated films “Ne Zha: The Monster Boy” and “Ne Zha: The Demon Child's Rebellion at the Sea” have achieved remarkable success, with the anti-heroic supporting character Shen Gongbao drawing considerable attention. By comparing Shen Gongbao in the two animations from the perspective of character design, it is evident that the most significant feature of this character is his transformation from a traditional villain in the former to an anti-hero in the latter. This transformation is reflected in the character’s image, traits, and relationships within the narrative. Moreover, this character shift has expanded the narrative and created new suspense for the films. Such character design meets the audience’s expectations for multi-dimensional characters and in-depth storytelling. Consequently, the role design of the anti-heroic supporting character in animated series films can be identified, providing theoretical and practical references for this field.
