China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 156: It’s hard to get a vote (Chapter [-])

"Dalizi, Tsuenzi, have you received the invitation? Do you have any extra tickets for the premiere?" Many people in the Chinese theater group were neither invited nor had tickets for the premiere.

But how grand this premiere will be can be seen just by looking at the popularity online.

Global superstars and Hollywood giants will come to watch the movie. There are many opportunities here. Those who can receive invitations are big names. If you go in and become familiar with each other, you might even get a chance.

However, the size of the venue is also limited, and naturally there is an upper limit on the number of people who can participate.

Mengying will definitely give priority to invoice invitations with good connections.

Zeng Li and Yuan Quan have filmed several dramas about Li Mu and are the best people to ask questions about.

"I only have one!"

"I only have one!"

The two also posted their tickets to the premiere.

"Where's Senior Brother Duan Yihong?" Someone in the group asked, why would the treatment of a Cannes Best Actor actor be different?

"Senior Brother Yihong is still filming,"

Yuan Quan came back with help.

At this time, Yi Hong was filming "Love Has an Afterlife", and both Yu Feihong and him received invitations.

"Director Yu, do you want to go?"

"Go, why don't you go? I still want to ask him a few questions."

Yu Feihong's recent filming has not been smooth, and there are always bumps and bumps. The people who ask for advice don't feel that they are at that level. I have wanted to find Li Mu for a long time, but unfortunately he is abroad.

No matter what, I have to go there this time.

The popularity of "Kung Fu Panda" has overwhelmed both Chen Kexin and Feng Xiaogang, and the promotion of the two movies has not made waves so far.

First it was the Oscars, then the premiere of Hometown of the Giant Panda, one after another, one after another.

Feng Xiaogang thought he was already a talent, so he opened the world's first Chinese-language movie themed pavilion at Madame Tussauds in Shanghai for his new film "Assembly".

I grabbed a lot of limelight for a while, but I didn't expect that I was not happy for two days before I was knocked back to my original shape.

What domestic audiences are most looking forward to right now is "Kung Fu Panda", and "Report" and "Assembly" are already behind.

On November 11, the premiere of "Kung Fu Panda" was held at the hometown of giant pandas.

At this time, real-person pandas can be seen everywhere, and many people take photos with them.

More foreign tourists came early to see real pandas at the panda base. The panda base was overcrowded today.

“Many foreigners are watching giant pandas today!”

“I didn’t even take pictures of pandas today, I just took pictures of foreigners!”

"You guys upstairs are going to laugh me to death, but it seems that foreigners are even rarer!"

Netizens in the forum are still exclaiming that there are rounds of foreign tourists coming to the panda base today.

A movie lover came with his girlfriend to attend the premiere that day, but ended up looking for several hotels that were relatively close to each other. They were both high-end and low-end, but there were no rooms. He cursed and said, "Damn, it's hard to book a hotel today." !”

Although he said this, he was still very honest with his body, and he looked for the next hotel. After all, he brought his girlfriend here, so he had to spend the night.

Isn’t there really someone who doesn’t stay overnight?
For this premiere, DreamWorks Animation specially produced this specially customized larger-than-life panda puppet. There are only four in the world, two of which were placed at the world premiere.

The super-large panda dolls with guardians on the left and right are also a must-visit place to take photos and check in, attracting countless female fans to take photos and linger.

The red carpet at the premiere was even more star-studded.

Many senior executives from Warner, DreamWorks Animation, and Crystal Pictures also appeared on the red carpet.

Then there are representatives from film companies or distribution companies from all over the country, who are also invited.

Immediately afterwards, a number of celebrities appeared on the stage, and fans around the red carpet had been waiting for a long time.

Angelina Jolie's black and white low-cut dress, paired with her sexy red lips, directly attracted fans to cheer loudly.

In such a cold weather, I have to say that women's ability to withstand the cold is really strong, but when I walked on the red carpet, I quickly put on my coat when I entered the hall.

Followed by Jack Black, Cheng Long, Seth Rogen, Ian McShane.
Domestic media reporters are naturally the largest media group, and there are also many foreign media coming, carrying long guns and short guns to pursue interviews.

Cheng Long was still the same as before, wearing a traditional white coat, and greeted Li Mu with a smile: "Director Li, this scene is quite grand!"

Cheng Long looked at the splendid scene and found that it was indeed different from other premieres. The celebrities who came were of different grades, and some official personnel were also present, including people from the tourism bureau.

"The official thing is done, I'm not that capable."

This time it was basically the official effort, and Li Mu won again.

Cheng Long looked at it in surprise and was extremely envious for a moment.

The arrival of Brother Chen Kai with Zhang Ziyi and Li Ming still surprised Li Mu. After all, it was recently rumored that the crew of "Mei Lanfang" has been postponed.

"Senior brother, welcome to the crew, are you okay with the crew?"

"Anyway, it's been delayed. It won't hurt if we shoot for two more days. Let's stop by and take a look."

Brother Chen Kai didn't take it seriously because the crew didn't have enough funds anyway.

Li Mu smiled and didn't say anything.

Zhang Ziyi and Li Ming looked at the scale of the premiere and were a little surprised. Especially when they saw many Hollywood stars and big shots coming, Zhang Ziyi's eyes became brighter.

I'm probably still thinking about how to get close to him later.

Liu Yifei came with Shu Chang, Zhang Liangying and others.

"Sissi, there are so many bosses." Shu Chang exclaimed as she looked at the rows of bosses in front of her.

And it looks like there are officials involved.

"Amu said he wanted to pick us up, but I rejected him. Don't mind." Liu Yifei explained specifically.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. Director Li is busy enough today."

Zhang Liangying looked at Li Mu in the front row, chatting and laughing with many big bosses, and waved her hands quickly.

Zeng Li, Yuan Quan, and Duan Yihong were sitting together. They looked around at the guests who had been invited to the premiere, and they were all secretly surprised. None of them were small celebrities, and they were all well-known.

Yu Feihong sat closer to the front and always wanted to communicate with Li Mu. As a result, Li Mu was surrounded by all kinds of people and couldn't find the right time.

At this time, domestic and foreign celebrities gathered together. Li Mu and Katzenberg also took the production team to the stage to be interviewed by CCTV reporters. As for other reporters, they had to go to the back row.

"Mr. Katzenberg, what did Director Li Mu communicate with you at the beginning that led to your cooperation in developing this cartoon?"

Katzenberg smiled, remembering the day when Li Mu brought Richard to DreamWorks Animation.

"All I can say is that Lee impressed me with an excellent script. I couldn't refuse. It's a great story."

"Director Li Mu, Katzenberg said you came up with an excellent script. How did you come up with this story?"

As expected, this reporter was assigned by CCTV and asked this question in an orderly manner.

"We have always been committed to kung fu movies. In Hollywood, kung fu movies are our cultural calling card, so I was thinking that if our country's national treasure could be combined with kung fu, it would definitely be a great idea."

"Director Li, what kind of story is "Kung Fu Panda" about?"

"It will be revealed soon, just watch the movie!"

Li Mu's answer made the whole audience burst into laughter.

This time, the domestic media's questions were all satisfactory. The interview session ended and "Kung Fu Panda" officially premiered.

This is a style that only Huaxia possesses, and it immediately caught the audience's attention.

The story begins in Hepinggu, where Po, the panda, is an apprentice at a noodle shop who manages to get a job despite being clumsy.

But Ah Bao is daydreaming without restraint every day, dreaming that one day he will be able to have a peak battle with star-level big shots in the world of kung fu.

In order to distinguish between dreams and reality, this section of "Po's Dreaming" was specially designed in the form of 2D hand-drawn animation, but it took more time and effort than CG production. The clip is only 2 minutes long and can be seen on the screen.In fact, more than 3000 paintings were required, and it took more than 20 painters more than a month to complete. It is definitely a labor of love.

The audience watched intently, and the beauty of the picture exceeded their imagination.

Laughter bursts out from time to time, a small laugh for three minutes, the jokes are intensive, but not clichéd.

At least from the perspective of a comedy, "Kung Fu Panda" has succeeded.

The "Peace Valley" where Po is located seems to be a prosperous and peaceful scene, but it is actually a Feng Shui treasure land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Not to mention that the five great kung fu masters are located here, and a master-level master lives in seclusion here.

The winner of a special martial arts competition will represent the "Peace Valley" and permanently drive out the evil dragon. However, Abao, who knows nothing, was selected after a series of mistakes, which made everyone... Everyone was shocked.

A lot of jokes followed, and the audience never stopped laughing.

Then Tiger Master, Monkey Master, Crane Master, Viper Master, Mantis Master and Raccoon Master respectively appeared on stage, showing the Chinese martial arts to the public, such as "Monkey Fist", "Snake Fist", "Tiger and Crane Double Shape" and "Mantis Fist", which attracted attention both at home and abroad. The audience shouted that it was worth it.

Especially foreign audiences, who have a curiosity filter about Chinese Kung Fu itself, find it very magical at this time.

"Cool, I like this monkey fist. How can I learn it?" Some foreign audiences were attracted by these moves.

"No, I like Snake Fist. The angle is very tricky and hard to guard against."

Cheng Long was a little unbelievable when he saw this scene. These kung fu are shown in the form of animation, which is much better than real people.

And the display effect is so good that people can't help but want to punch twice.

Li Mu looked at the various moves on the screen. These were the crystallization of the essence of domestic martial arts, and were created one by one by martial arts instructors.

Compared with the previous version of "Kung Fu Panda", these boxing techniques in this version are gorgeous and practical, and each move was finalized after extensive review.

"Boss, where can I learn these boxing techniques in your country? Please introduce them to me."

David watched "Kung Fu Panda" and couldn't help but want to learn two tricks.

"Go back and suppress your wife?"

Li Mu glanced at him.

"Hey, boss, you are so smart."

In the end, after being specially trained by the raccoon master, Po finally ushered in the powerful enemy Snow Leopard Dragon.

Then Dalong really escaped from prison and escaped from the bottomless Qiaogang Prison with 1000 guards.

The arrival of Shan GuanJian saved Da Long, which proved once again: the more you prevent something from happening, the easier it is to happen.

In the fierce fighting scenes, it is not difficult to see how high Dalong's kung fu is and how smart he is. He is finally coming back after 20 years. He is coming back with hatred, desire for the Dragon Secret Book, and the expectations of his opponents.

The scene of Dalong's escape from prison made the audience excited. These scenes that could only be seen in movies were actually seen in animation. Facing layers of traps, Dalong actually managed to escape with his agility. One of them broke in and killed a thousand rhinoceroses guarding them, which all set off the power of the dragon.

The Furious Five are going to stop the dragon, and the battle that takes place by the bridge is also eye-catching. The special effects are well done and the audience is terrified.However, compared to Dalong, the Five Heroes were still no match. They were captured one by one and thrown at the gate of Jidian.

"How many dollars did this special effect cost?" Han commented without restraint. This picture is indeed an effect that today's Chinese animation cannot produce.

"More than 65% of the funds are used for rendering!" Li Mu did not say the exact number, but this proportion is quite astonishing.

"It's really worth it."

Han Sanping sighed with emotion, this is really only something that can be done by movies with global box office. It is temporarily impossible to change domestically, because the probability of not recovering the cost is infinitely close to 100%.

"Oscar, does this movie have a chance?" The more Han Sanjing watched, the more he felt that this movie was definitely the right choice to compete for Oscars, and if it did, it would also be a great promotion for domestic culture.

Han Sanping was also thinking about it.

"???Oscar is not my home!" Li Mu said angrily.

"Then you didn't read the comments from netizens."

Han Sanping rarely made a joke. Some of the most popular jokes recently are, Oscar: Li Mu’s home, you can go wherever you want.

As the "Fantastic Five" and Master Raccoon were defeated by the dragon, Master Raccoon was finally ready to take down the Dragon Scroll and give it to Po, hoping that Po would gain strength from it and defeat the dragon.

The meticulous portrayal of this section and the extremely beautiful special effects made the audience amazed. .
At the same time, the scene where Po takes the scroll also made the audience laugh. This panda is very stupid, but he is a little clever, just like ordinary people, so that the audience can't help but feel involved.

However, the scroll that was opened was indeed a "wordless heavenly book". It must be said that some of the routines of traditional martial arts were used here.

But for foreign audiences, this trick is very popular and a sense of mystery arises.

The frustrated Master Raccoon dismissed everyone and prepared to face the dragon alone.The most disappointing thing is probably Po. He is the dragon warrior appointed by Master Oogway, and he has learned martial arts, but he can't stop the dragon.

Seeing the villagers leaving their homes one by one and being forced to run away, some people even pointed at him and said mockingly: "Look, that's the Dragon Warrior."

This scene made the audience feel very uncomfortable.

Then Abao's Father Goose appeared, still so cheerful and optimistic, calmly comforting Abao, telling him the secret formula, which meant nothing. Combined with the "Wordless Book of Heaven", Abao finally had an epiphany.

Foreign audiences watched with rapt attention the battle between the disabled leopard dragon and the panda Abao. The battle between the two was very exciting and interesting.

The audience couldn't help laughing.

The two fell down the steps, and Dalong was at the bottom every time. There was even a close-up of Abao's butt sitting on Dalong's face. The process of the two people grabbing the scroll was hilarious, and Abao even took all aspects of it into consideration. All the factors were used, and finally the dragon was controlled.

"I'm not a fat panda, I'm that fat panda!"

At this time, the film has reached the final stage. Listening to Abao's confident words and watching him make a big dragon out of his butt, the audience, who had been laughing from the beginning, temporarily fell silent.

This is a typical action comedy movie, the plot is not complicated or even a little simple, and everyone can see a lot of familiar scenes in it.

But after watching the movie, everyone stood up and applauded to show their love for the movie.

"Cool, I like pandas! I like Kung Fu!"

"The perfect kung fu movie, release it as soon as possible. I want to watch it again."

Many foreigners were still shouting loudly, obviously this panda moved them.

"This panda is going crazy."

Zeng Li and the others couldn't help but sigh when they heard the applause from the audience, which seemed to tear down the ceiling.

However, domestic audiences will have to wait a few days to see it, and it will be released in North America soon.

“It’s really worth it!”

“It’s so cool to get a ticket!”

"Hurry back and write down movie reviews, and I will cry about the ones I haven't watched."

Domestic audiences also felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Han Sanping is a veteran filmmaker. After watching it halfway, he knew that this movie would probably become a success.

The performance report this time has been written again. The global box office of this panda will definitely not be much lower.

"Director Li, according to the plot setting, Po's father is a goose. Many viewers are confused that the panda's father is a goose. Can you explain it to us?"

CCTV reporters quickly took the opportunity to come over for interviews.

This setting has confused many people, and everyone has their own guesses.

"This setting will be explained in the sequel of "Kung Fu Panda"." Li Mu also deliberately kept a close eye on it and announced that "Kung Fu Panda" will most likely have a sequel.

This news made the reporter's eyes light up. This is big news.

The premiere was coming to an end. After Li Mu and the others answered some questions from reporters and fans, the audience gradually left the venue, but some of their words were still gradually reaching everyone's ears.

These words are nothing more than discussing the plot. When talking about some funny moments in the movie, everyone can't help but laugh.

The interviews with the media are gradually coming to an end. The grand premiere of this premiere has also given everyone a lot of useful news. There will be a lot of topics to talk about in "Kung Fu Panda" after tonight.

"Director Li, please continue to ask me for dubbing in the sequel." Cheng Long also heard the interview just now. This sequel is a good job.

"Okay, I will definitely invite you, Brother Long, when the time comes."

Li Mu did not refuse and agreed, which was not a big deal.
