This director is very reliable

Chapter 581 Derivative Development (First Change)
"White Pigeon Island" is definitely the most breakthrough work of Shangmeichang.

Absolutely referring to EVA, the plot tells the story of the struggle between humans and aliens, which contains a lot of thinking about human nature, race, and civilization. Of course, this work was banned in the end.

During the space war, pacifist aliens took refuge on the earth, and then a group of imperialist aliens came to colonize the earth, so the earthlings and aliens who were full of justice and peace drove away the invaders...

It looks very old and young, but in fact it is not!

"White Pigeon Island" contains a lot of darkness in the adult world, such as the protection of officials and officials, abuse of privileges and racial discrimination, and even the policy of aggression has become very straightforward: aliens invade White Pigeon Island and use human spies to support puppet regimes and provoke humans Cannibalism within...

At the beginning of the story, there was still a peaceful scene, until the arrival of aliens, they provoked a war among humans and let them kill each other on the grounds that they were looking for the traitors they had hidden among humans.On the other hand, he acts as a savior to reap the benefits, trying to control the human spirit.

Due to the forceful suppression by aliens, many people reported their neighbors.

Faced with such a predicament, the protagonist with supernatural powers, the young Tianwang, endured humiliation and went to collect the seven elements to deal with aliens. During this period, he suffered from the torment of soul and body, and finally led his partners to fight against the evil forces heroically. Reshape human dignity at the cost of his own life!
The character design of the heroine Feng Linger is completely copied from the heroine Julia in "1984"-her anti-world, self-indulgence and indulgence are very similar to Julia...

The male protagonist...Because of his "super power", he was called "the devil" by the children of the same age since he was a child. He was ridiculed and liked to stay away from the crowd.

Fortunately, he has a grandfather, who told him: Don't alienate everyone, even if they don't understand you, time will prove everything.

This sentence also confirmed his various experiences since then.

This concept is also the firm thought that supports him in the process of moving forward, helping him to always recognize his own position, even if he is completely disappointed with human beings, he still chooses to fight to save human beings.

Among the supporting roles, there is a man named Meng Da. This role can be described as pitiful and hateful. He was a patriot at the beginning, and then he chose to defect to the enemy after witnessing the strength of the aliens and the fact that their technology was inferior to others. Like Wang Zhaoming...

In "White Pigeon Island", you can see that human beings can unite to fight against aliens in order to survive, but there will also be internal fighting.There are battles of wits and courage between aliens and humans, and there are also unilateral massacres and exploits. Of course, there are oppressions and resistances, there are submissions and spies, and there are rises and companions...

Most importantly, the ending, the main characters are wiped out!

Quite normal, the tragic scene where all the protagonists go to death just proves the cruelty of war.

...and that's why it's not so popular!
Damn, the main characters are all dead, so what?
Of course, the picture is too simple, and most of the characters have a foreign face, which is also one of the reasons!

In fact, there have been many excellent works in domestic animation.The excellence mentioned here does not mean how good the picture quality of the animation is or how beautiful the characters are, but the depth of the work.

"Flowers in the Haha Mirror" tells the story of Tang Wuhuang, a talented Tang Ao who failed the imperial examination. At the invitation of his brother-in-law Lin Zhiyang, he went out to sea with the fleet to do business, and visited the country of gentlemen, the country of daughters, the country of adults, and the country of two sides. Stories from different countries.

Different countries have their own customs in it, and they reflect the reality and darkness of many societies. Most importantly, the irony is too strong!
This work was also banned…

Those who have read it should not forget the lines in it: How many years can a person live?How much trouble should there be in a lifetime?After wandering through the north and the south, I realized that it is more joyful to cut off the water with a knife!
How many years can a person live?How difficult should it be in a lifetime?There is no sky high and earth wide in my heart, so I know it is more troublesome to use wine to drown my sorrows!
"The Rubik's Cube Mansion" has a similar experience.

The most regrettable thing is probably "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" - the literary consultant is Yu Hua, and the artistic consultant is Han Meilin!
Then the parents complained and canceled the broadcast...

——There are a lot of bloody fighting scenes and foul language. I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on my children, so I request that this animation be stopped.

In addition, why didn't Shangmei Factory come up with good works after "Lotus Lantern"?

This is mainly because around 2000, Shangmei Factory and CCTV Animation Department were identified as two animation backbone bases, one south and one north.

Although they are both the main base, the animation department of CCTV is completely different from the treatment of Shangmei Factory.

As an enterprise, Shangmei Factory has to be responsible for its own profits and losses, while the animation department of CCTV has received state funds to support it in the production of cartoons, and enjoys the broadcasting platform of CCTV.

The Animation Department of CCTV, supported by state funds, produced "The Man in the Dream" and "Journey to the West", and later produced "The Legend of Nezha", "The Return of the Tiger", "Go Boy", and even "The Legend of Heroes of the Qin and Han Dynasties". The latter is jointly produced…

I also tried a movie, "The New Big Head Son and Little Head Dad", with a box office of more than [-] million...

But it’s useless, because the cartoons produced by CCTV’s animation department are generally broadcast on children’s channels, and the income is guaranteed in drought and flood. A common problem of the system is that it is not aggressive...

Because of monopoly!

But private enterprises are different, especially those who make animated films, that is to recover the cost through the market...

How to impress the market?

Out of boutique!
……

In the original time and space, "The Return of the Great Sage" started to come back three days later, grabbing the single-day box office champion;

On the seventh day of release, "Monster Hunt" and "Pancake Man" were released...

Release No. 20 days, "Lost City" and "Ma Zhen: Concubine Yang" are released...

Even so, "The Return of the Great Sage" still relied on its word-of-mouth advantage, and subsequently surpassed a number of films such as "Pancake Man" and "Ma Zhen"...

But it's also a bit regrettable, because it was just about to take off, "Monster Hunt" and "Pancake Man" came, so that the single-day highest box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" was fixed at 6700 million on weekdays!
This time is different, strong word-of-mouth marketing, coupled with the extremely poor box office, word-of-mouth, and topicality of "The Bear Sleeping on My Upper Bunk", the next day, the number of films for "The Great Sage" rose to 31%, taking the top spot. 7400 million at the box office.

Of course, it still failed to shake the 4 million next-day box office of "Little Times 9100"...

On the third day, "The Return of the Great Sage" took another 9400 million, and "Little Times 4"... broke down at the box office.

"The Return of the Great Sage" almost broke the box office record of domestic animated films in just three days!
Not only that, on the working day of July 7, the single-day box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" was actually 13 million...

It directly broke the box office record of domestic animated films.

On July 7, the single-day box office was 14 million...

Breaking through [-] million in five days!
On July 7th, "The Return of the Great Sage" received another 15 million on weekdays...

And then... Monster Hunt came on.

……

The company, Shen Changlin is reading the financial report...

Mainly reports related to derivatives of "The Return of the Great Sage".

"On the first day... 1800 million... breaking the record?"

The staff nodded: "No way, our derivatives are difficult to develop!"

"Too much piracy!"

"When "Yangtze River No. [-]" was released, Zhou Xingchi ran a road show in domestic theaters, and then found that the theater actually sold Qizai toys. The key Qizai toys, he did not authorize them!"

"There are too many pirated copies, then sue them!"

Guo Songjiang nodded: "The legal statement has been issued. By the way, our genuine version is only available on JD.com. Is it not good?"

Yi Qiao yelled at him: "Jingdong gave us a sponsorship of 30 million US dollars, and the contract said that JD.com will give priority to shipments. We can't break our promises, right?"

"Yi Qiao, in the name of Caitiaowu, you have issued a statement that "The Return of the Great Sage 2" will be released in 2018!"

"...But Director Tian wants to make "Deep Sea"..."

Shen Changlin nodded: "I know, let him do "Deep Sea", change the director of "The Return of the Great Sage 2", can you do the prequel "The Great Sage Havoc in Heaven"... Let me tell you, animated films must be commercialized, you try Convince him…"

Yi Qiao nodded: "Director Tian will definitely agree. From the very beginning, we planned to make three films. The first film will be about acquaintances, and the second will be about beliefs. It will focus on how the beliefs of monk Tang and his disciples were established. The third part is on the road, only with faith can they really embark on the road of learning..."

"Just agree!" Shen Changlin looked at Guo Songjiang: "Let them quickly ship the derivative products...how did the talks with the amusement parks go?"

"The most sincere one is Wanda, but...Wanda can't manage this in a theme park..."

"It doesn't seem like it, or it doesn't work!"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "Where is Fangte?"

"Fang Te has his own son "Bear Infested", and there is no special treatment for "The Return of the Great Sage"..."

Guo Songjiang motioned to the man wearing glasses sitting next to him to speak, and the latter took out a report: "BJ Happy Valley is willing to build a venue with the theme of The Return of the Great Sage, but they proposed to split the bet...and let us pay half of it. money!"

"What do you think?"

"Our idea is to agree with BJ Happy Valley's proposal... After all, we have not proved our own brand advantages..."

Shen Changlin thought for a while, then glanced at him: "You mean to turn BJ's Happy Valley's The Return of the Great Sage theme venue into a flagship store? Then attract other domestic theme parks to join?"

"right…"

"But...the theme park, we don't have any operating experience..."

"All over the country, except for the soon-to-be-completed Disneyland, no one has any experience. Everyone is crossing the river by feeling the stones!"
