Huayu since 1980

Chapter 886 The year the movie took off

The New Year of 1994 was spent in the process of re-emerging problems and solving them.

It is impossible to shoot any movie smoothly, let alone a movie with many characters, the crew will encounter different problems almost every day.

During the period, Yu Feihong caught a cold, and several veteran actors also suffered from different degrees of fatigue. These things need to be dealt with in time, otherwise it may delay the shooting task of the entire crew.

It was precisely because of such and such things that Wu Jianye put all his thoughts on the movie "Eternal Night", and had no time to care about other things.

For example, now China Film and Radio and Television have finally completed the review of the first film imported from Hollywood. At the same time, this film has also completed the dubbing work of actors and can be officially released in China.

In fact, at the end of the 90s, and the first decade of the 21st century, Hollywood films have been developing tentatively towards the domestic film market.

It is rare to achieve the possibility of simultaneous release in China.

Under normal circumstances, they will be able to pay attention to the Chinese film market after they are released in Europe and the United States. When they enter the Chinese film market, they also need to face the work of censorship and dubbing.

As the first Hollywood film officially introduced in China, it was "The Lion King", which had previously set a box office record for animated films around the world!
The censorship of this movie is almost the simplest. First of all, there is no problem with the subject matter. Secondly, the behind-the-scenes production team of this movie is basically a domestic production staff.

At this time, Wang Zhen and others had also returned to China and joined the animation department of Tangting Culture. In fact, when they returned, Linda was very reluctant.

Through "The Lion King", Wang Zhen and others have already made a name for themselves in Hollywood, and the founding team of Athena Animation was actually Wang Zhen and others.

For the return of Wang Zhen and others, Linda even had a big quarrel with Wu Jianye, which was the only time the two had a big quarrel, but in the end Linda still had no way to persuade Wu Jianye, so she had to let Wang Zhen and others go. back.

Now Wang Zhen is the deputy manager of the animation department of Tangting Culture. Although there is Xia Xiaohong on it, in fact Xia Xiaohong is more like the chief steward of the animation department of Tangting Culture.

The specific matters are still handled by Wang Zhen!

Prior to this, Tangting Culture successively launched the cartoons "Fengshen Series" and "Journey to the West Series", which achieved great success in China.

However, Wu Jianye knew that this kind of cartoon was just a small test for them, so last year, Wu Jianye took out the script of "Lotus Lantern" and handed it to Wang Zhen. At the same time, Liang Zhengting and Huang Zilu and Huang Zilu were in charge of cooperating to complete the court special effects.

"Lotus Lantern" can be said to be Wu Jianye's test of domestic animation, and it is also an investigation of Wang Zhen and others. As long as they can successfully produce "Lotus Lantern", Wu Jianye will let them officially start the three animations. The animation production of Thousand Universe.

This is where Wang Zhen and others really come in handy.

At the same time, in order to cooperate with the launch of [-] Universe, Wu Jianye has also reached a cooperation with the Academy of Film, which will be funded by [-] Universe Studio, and the Academy of Film will issue the qualification to start a comic magazine, and the two parties will work together.

The first issue is expected to be released in June of this year.

Previously, Wang Zhen and others were filming in other places, but now that "The Lion King" is about to premiere in China, they are also back to stand for the movie.

At the same time, as the first Hollywood film introduced in an official form in China, film magazines such as "Popular Movies" also deliberately set aside a full-page position to promote this film.

However, when dealing with this movie, China Film and Radio and Television are still a little cautious. Although in principle they do not object to the promotion of this movie by movie magazines and TV stations, it is impossible to hold a premiere for this movie like Wu Jianye did. .

When March entered, the poster of "The Lion King" quietly appeared on the outer wall of Fengge Cinema in Sijiu City.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a young male lion stands on the top of the mountain.

One day in early March, the gate of Yanjing No. [-] Experimental Primary School was full of parents who came to pick up their children from school. Many parents looked at the situation in the campus from a distance.

"Don't worry, school will be over in a few minutes!" Zhu Zhuo smiled and said to Liu Xiaoli who was standing next to him.

The children's New Year's holiday is over, Liu Xiaoli also sent Liu Yifei to Yanjing, and continued to go to elementary school with Wu Nianyi. It happened that Liu Xiaoli had a performance task in Yanjing these two days, so she also came to Yanjing. Zhu Zhu came together to pick up the two children from school.

"Sister Ji, thanks to you for taking care of Qianqian all these years!" Liu Xiaoli thanked.

Zhu Zhuo smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite with me, besides, Qianqian also called me godmother!"

The two chatted for a few words before they heard the school bell ringing, and then the beasts in the school began to swarm out of the teaching building.

But there are always two exceptions in the crowd.

At the school gate, Zhu Yan saw the helpless expression on Wu Nianyi's face carrying two schoolbags, and next to him was Liu Yifei with a happy smile.

At the same time, Zhu Juan also saw that there were no other children one meter away from Wu Nianyi, and a torrent seemed to be disconnected at his position. The matter was not over yet, and basically everyone who passed by Wu Nian Beside him, the children who were about the same age as him would obediently say hello to Wu Nian before continuing to run.

The name of the little devil king in the world is still useful in elementary school!
Zhu Zhuo laughed dryly at the other parents of the students, not knowing what to say.

The other parents also smiled knowingly. Our children have been going to school together for more than half a year, so everyone naturally knows Wu Nianyi's character.

Although he likes to make pranks, he treats the children well. When some children are bullied by older children, Wu Nianyi is also the first to help them.

Generally speaking, these children are both loving and afraid of Wu Nianyi.
But to their relief, Wu Nianyi, the little devil in the world, still has someone he can't deal with, and that is Liu Yifei next to him, so in everyone's impression, Wu Nianyi is the eldest brother, and Liu Yifei is the eldest sister.
Liu Xiaoli smiled and took off both schoolbags on Wu Nianyi who had already walked out of school, and then gave Liu Yifei a blank look, but Liu Yifei just smiled and said nothing.

"Yi Yi, what's the matter, why are you unhappy? Did someone bully you at school?" Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile.

At this time, a kid next to him murmured, "He's fine if he doesn't bully others!"

Wu Nian glared at the other party, and the other party was afraid to speak immediately, but Zhu Yan could only smile apologetically at the other party's parents.

The parent of the other party is also used to it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, they are all children, and we Lele are talking nonsense. If I hadn't helped Lele one by one before, I didn't know that there were older children bullying me at school." Our family is happy!"

The kid named Lele glanced at Wu Nianyi and Liu Yifei, and said, "I'm home, goodbye!"

Liu Yifei said goodbye to the other party obediently, while Wu Nianyi said: "Your homework was criticized by Mr. Ou today!"

Lele's complexion changed, and he said quickly, "Teacher Ou mentioned several people."

Wu Nianyi continued: "But Teacher Ou also praised several people, why don't you learn from Xuehao, like me!"

The corner of Lele's mouth twitched, and he wanted to cry. If he didn't do his homework well, he would be punished when he returned home. That's why he was afraid of Wu Nianyi. He was too good at picking the time to talk about his homework.

Lelesheng was taken away by his mother without love. Obviously, today's homework must be doubled.

And Wu Nianyi and Liu Yifei also followed Zhu Juan and Liu Xiaoli towards the car.

Wu Nianyi who was holding Zhu Zhuan's hand suddenly said, "Mom, I want to see Simba!"

Zhu Yan didn't react for a while: "What Simba?"

Liu Yifei next to him said obediently: "One by one is talking about the cartoon "The Lion King". Today, several children in school said that they have watched this cartoon. Know what to talk about!"

Only then did Zhu Zhu realize it, and said with a smile: "It turns out that our family is unhappy because of this!"

Wu Nian nodded.

"Then you have to promise mom that you will do your homework with Sissy when you get home, and after finishing your homework, mom will take you and Sissy to watch Simba together!" Zhu Jue laughed.

Only then did Wu Nianyi smile, and said, "I do my homework very quickly, but Qianqian is always the last to finish it every time!"

Liu Yifei gave Wu Nian a blank look, and said: "I write slowly, but I am always right. You write fast but there are always mistakes, and your handwriting is not as good as mine. Teacher Ou praised me today. , I didn't praise you, you lied just now."

Look, this is called one thing for one thing. In front of Liu Yifei, Wu Nianyi never took advantage of it.

The four of them got into the car and returned to Xishan Villa. Because "The Lion King" hooked the two of them, they were very fast when doing their homework.

However, Zhu Zhu still checked the homework of the two of them first, pointed out the mistakes, and asked the two to correct them before taking them to the cinema at Xishan Villa.

In fact, Zhu Yan wanted to take the two of them to the cinema to watch this movie, but he thought that the two children were still young, so he watched it at home. There are negatives here, and it seems very convenient to see.

Wu Nianyi, who watched "The Lion King" as he wished, finally showed a happy smile.

Talk to Liu Yifei: "I will also be Simba in the future!"

Liu Yifei said: "Simba is a lion!"

Wu Nianyi: "."

The reactions of Wu Nianyi and Liu Yifei actually reflected that children of this age group love the movie "The Lion King".

In addition, children are willing to share the interesting things they know, so many children who have watched the movie "The Lion King" in advance discuss the animals in the movie with everyone in the class. Some like Simba and others like it Nana's.

It's like the children of later generations like to play King of Glory and like their own different heroes.

Now all the children are discussing this cartoon, and those who haven't watched it are naturally very lonely, and they will clamor for their parents to take them to watch this cartoon.

At the beginning, parents just watched this cartoon with the mentality of accompanying their children to watch it, but soon they will also be attracted by this movie.

This also led to this movie becoming the most hotly discussed movie in China during this period.

The biggest beneficiary of the success of "The Lion King" is not Tangting Culture, not even Fengge Cinemas, which is in charge of releasing the film, is the biggest beneficiary.

The real beneficiary is China Film, which is responsible for introducing the film.

At present, the introduction of Hollywood films in China is still only exploring the scope, so only China Film is responsible for the distribution. In fact, China Film is responsible for a long period of time thereafter.

This is why when China Film Group is officially transformed into China Film Group, most of the Hollywood movies released in China will have a dragon logo at the beginning!
This movie was screened in Fengge Cinemas and various joint theaters established in China. Of course, because of the same ticket price, but different enjoyment, the audience of Fengge Cinemas was even larger.

In the past two years, the major domestic joint cinemas have noticed this problem. For them, this year can be said to be the last chance.

If they can't keep up with the Fengge Cinema Line, they will suffer a greater impact when the cinemas under the China Shadow Hall Courtyard Line are also completed.

At the same time, some domestic businessmen also saw the development of film and television at this time.

Although most of the domestic films are still not as good as Xiangjiang Films and European and American films, everyone knows that if this continues, the domestic film industry will definitely become a very important industry, and all kinds of funds have entered the film industry for a while .

Everyone knows that in any emerging industry, you can either soar into the sky or stay at the bottom of the sea, but everyone thinks which one they will be successful.

Compared with the establishment of new domestic film companies last year, the number of new additions this year is also increasing. Moreover, based on the development experience of the previous two years, people entering this market now understand more and more that they need professional talents. important.

Because of Chen Peisi's film company and Xie Jin's film company as the lead soldiers, many filmmakers have received invitations from various capitals to jointly establish a film company

At the same time, there are also people who want to operate theaters, and they start to contact United Cinemas Company, or make acquisitions, or establish themselves.

The year 1994, which had just entered, suddenly made the film market lively.

Some people in later generations once commented on the development of Chinese films, and called 1992, when Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing" was released, the first year of Chinese films, and 1994, the year of Chinese films' take-off.

The domestic film industry at this time is just like the Xiangjiang film industry in the 80s. Many filmmakers have started to set up their own film companies with the support of external funds!
