China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Chapter 259 The rise of Chinese comics

After figuring this out, Yang Mi lost her former enthusiasm.

She no longer cared about taking on so many dramas, and would return to Beijing and the company whenever she had time.

During this period, she also visited the crew of "Havoc in Heaven", but found that she and Jiang Heng had little to talk about, and she became more and more depressed.

Thinking that "Kung Fu Panda" was produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, coming to take a look would give her more topics to talk about.

After a while, she entered the venue with everyone else, and after sitting down, she heard people around her chattering and guessing the plot of the film.

"Kung Fu Panda" held a premiere ceremony, but only a clip of the film was played, not the whole film.

So no one knew what the plot was and what the final effect of the film was.

Many people even held the previous view of animated films, thinking that it was just to accompany their children to watch the fun.

Unexpectedly, the audience was stunned as soon as the film was shown.

The beautiful rural scenery, hardcore action design, architecture, design and many other elements in the film come from Chinese culture.

Especially the protagonist of the movie, the most representative national treasure panda is used as the protagonist, which is a stroke of genius.

The children were fascinated by the movie, and the adults were also attracted by the wonderful action scenes.

As for Yang Mi, she felt stunned.

When she learned that the company was producing an animated film, she secretly complained that Jiang Heng "bite off more than he could chew", involving all kinds of genres, what was good about animated films.

Can it be better than "Havoc in Heaven" (animated version) and "Nezha's Brain"?

I really didn't expect that the movie gave her such a big surprise.

After watching it, she walked out of the theater and felt dizzy.

But she hurried to the parking lot, drove her car to the China Film Digital Base, and reported the good news to the crew of "Havoc in Heaven".

"Director Jiang, you are so amazing, I went to see "Kung Fu Panda", it was so good, how can you shoot animated films so well!"

Next to the monitor, Jiang Heng had just finished shooting a set of shots and picked up a cup to drink water, and Yang Mi appeared out of nowhere.

I said a lot of things, but to sum it up, it’s awesome!

Jiang Heng put down the cup, looked at Yang Mi, and said with a smile: "It's good. How come you have time to come? You are not busy these days?"

"Well, the last play was finished, and the next one will be ten days later, so I came back. I thought I had nothing to do, so I went to support the animated film produced by the company. My God, I really didn't expect that the animated film could be so good. Director Jiang, how did you do it?"

Jiang Heng waved his hand, "Don't say that, it's the Shanghai Art Factory that did a good job."

Yang Mi pouted slightly, "Ah, I heard it a long time ago. You gave the script, and you set the style and details of the film. The art factory just painted according to your requirements!"

Jiang Heng said: "Just know it, don't go out and say it!"

Yang Mi hurriedly whispered: "I know!"

After thinking for a while, he said: "Director Jiang, you are really generous. If it were someone else, they would have taken the credit for themselves."

Jiang Heng laughed: "It's just some false reputation, why would I care!"

Yang Mi was stunned when she heard this, and felt that this sentence was more pretentious than his "taking the credit".

But it must be said that Jiang Heng is so famous at the moment that he really doesn't care about these things.

When will she be able to reach this point?

Well, I'm afraid there is no such possibility!

Yang Mi was distracted for a moment, and the topic was brought back to "Havoc in Heaven", asking when it will be completed.

Jiang Heng said October, Yang Mi sighed that it took a long time, when will it be released!

Jiang Heng didn't answer, because the final schedule depends on the situation, and it is expected to be selected from the three time periods of summer 2008, New Year's Day and summer 2009.

So, the current situation is that he will miss the two schedules of New Year's Day in 2006 and summer 2007.

After "Havoc in Heaven" is finished, it can be rushed to make a movie to be released in the New Year's Day in 2007. The specific choice is still under consideration.

But it will definitely not be like Stephen Chow, who temporarily made "The New King of Comedy" to catch up with the schedule, just to make money!

The next day, Yu Dong suddenly rushed to the set, and waited until Jiang Heng was not busy before saying: "Great news, great news, the first day box office of Kung Fu Panda is out, and it is actually more than 13 million!"

"What?"

"How much?"

"No way?"

Jiang Heng did not speak, and the people around him spoke first.

This kind of situation basically does not happen at ordinary times, it is really shocking.

The first day box office is over 10 million, as long as the reputation is not terrible, the box office can basically exceed 100 million.

The problem is that Kung Fu Panda is an animated film. In many people's minds, it is just a cartoon to coax children. It can even make over 100 million at the box office. Isn't it too easy to make money in the mainland market?

Especially under Jiang Heng, there are many behind-the-scenes film practitioners from Hong Kong who really can't understand this.

In the Hong Kong market, the box office of a good Hong Kong film is only 20 to 30 million Hong Kong dollars. In the mainland market, special effects blockbusters are sold well, and animated films have box office over 100 million. It's too shocking!

"Is it really that much?" Yuan De asked.

Yu Dong nodded, and instantly became full of enthusiasm, "It is mainly because Director Jiang planned and directed well, and the mainland market has really revived in recent years, which is why we have such achievements. The box office of the animated film has exceeded 100 million yuan, and I guess CCTV News will report it!"

The people around him nodded one after another, and they should report it.

The box office of the animated film in the mainland market has exceeded 100 million yuan, which is of great significance.

Jiang Heng said: "This achievement in the mainland is nothing, I am happy to achieve results in the overseas market!"

Everyone's expression froze when they heard this, overseas box office, animation also wants to go overseas?

But I don’t know that the previous Kung Fu Panda had a global box office of 632 million US dollars, ranking third among the top ten best-selling movies in the world in 2008.

Popular films such as Hancock, 007 Quantum of Solace, and Iron Man are all ranked after Kung Fu Panda.

However, because this film is produced in China, the global box office will inevitably be greatly affected.

Fortunately, when it was released overseas, Jiang Heng’s name as the producer was repeatedly mentioned during the promotion. I don’t know how the specific box office performance is, but it is a hit in China.

After all, children like to compare the most. If all the children in the class went to see it, but your child didn’t, he would cry his eyes out.

This is also an important reason why some animated films can be released every year and get a share of the Spring Festival period with many strong competitors.

Therefore, the box office curve of Kung Fu Panda is actually slowly falling and rising slightly, and it reached its peak in the second weekend of the film’s release.

The daily closing price was 15.6 million, shocking the domestic film market.

Almost all filmmakers used the word "outrageous" the most when talking about this situation.

It's hard for a live-action movie to break 100 million, but an animated film easily broke 100 million.

The terrible thing is that it may break 200 million.

Is Jiang Heng's reputation so good? Just put a "producer" label on an animated film and it sold so much money?

However, in addition to being shocked, many film critics have carefully analyzed the advantages of this film and found out several reasons why "Kung Fu Panda" sold well at the box office.

The final conclusion is that there will be more and more excellent animated films in the Chinese film market in the future, and Chinese animation is rising!
