Entertaining Children

   Chapter 999 Bilingual Movies

  The producer and producer of this animated film are very simple. At the beginning, except for the "Dragon Mark" flashed by, there was only one company animation head of Tong Luo's "Galaxy Special Effects".

  This animated movie is basically based on what Xiao Yao remembered from his previous life. In addition to replacing the live-action movie clips and songs in it, changing the real-life part into an animated image, and changing the CEO of BNL to a yellow image, Xiao Yao did not make too many changes. The image and plot of the main characters are all based on the previous life. From the original version.

  Previous life, this movie won more than 500 million worldwide box office and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. Both box office and word of mouth are quite good. Although the release date of this life is more than ten years later than the previous life, it is still quite attractive when it comes out in China.

  During the screening of the movie, the audience on the scene watched it quite enthusiastically, not only laughed, booed, admired, but also surprised a lot.

Strictly speaking, this animated movie is not a comedy movie. There is not much comedy burden in it. There is no comedy label in the genre classification of the original version of the previous life, but the protagonist Valina is dumb, cute, counseling, and even a bit cheap. His expression and behavior still made the audience laugh a lot. And although the heroine Eva/Eve is a robot, she is a savage girlfriend who is just like a savage girlfriend when she doesn't agree, and it also makes the audience look happy.

  And what the audience sighed is mainly the earth environment and human status shown in the movie.

  The scene at the beginning of the movie was transferred from space to earth. Although it was just a flash, many viewers have noticed that the outer space of the earth in the movie is completely surrounded by space junk. The surface of the earth is not much better. The garbage piled up in the mountains in the city, the sorting robot compressed the garbage and piled them into tall buildings. The two sandstorms that did not last for a short period of time, and the advertisement of the BNL company that appeared in the form of broadcast, all illustrate the earth They are no longer suitable for human habitation.

  After the plot was transferred to the spacecraft in space, the human beings who finally appeared on the scene also made the audience sigh. All of them are fat figures, leaning on the chair motionless. In the most critical moment, the captain's ability to get out of the chair and stand up on his own feet has become a "hero" behavior that makes people in and out of the play cheer. This is exciting and at the same time. It is inevitable that there is some irony in it.

  In addition to sighing, this movie also has a touching place that makes people feel warm and romantic. This is naturally the emotional drama of the two robot protagonists. On the earth, Eva puts a plant into her body and enters a dormant state. Walli takes the dormant Eva to bask in the sun to recharge her, protect her from wind and rain and be struck by thunder, and take her to watch the sunset. , The audience is both funny and warm to see. The scenes of two robots flying in space that appeared in the trailers are so romantic that the audience feels unusually romantic, and they can't help but admire them again and again.

  All of the above are enough to make the audience think that this is a very beautiful and excellent animation film. However, during the viewing process, there were many questions in the hearts of the audience.

  First of all, there are no cast subtitles at the beginning of the movie. This is rare in movies, but not particularly rare. However, when the title appeared in the movie for more than two minutes, many audiences found that the title appeared in the movie was not the "Robot Walli" that Xiao Yao said in the variety show promotion, but the five "WALL.E" Capital English letters plus a dot as a separator.

  Then in the first twenty minutes of the movie, except for a video ad by the CEO of BNL, the two protagonists had no dialogue at all. In the first half an hour, the two protagonist robots basically had no dialogue, except for a few words when they met each other.

  There is almost no dialogue in the first half an hour. If this is really taken with children, young children may not be able to understand it. No wonder Xiao Yao said before that most of China’s animated films are relatively young.

  The most important point is that this is obviously a Chinese movie, but the dialogue of all the characters is in English. Many people did not realize this in the previous CEO advertisement. The two robots didn’t react much when they talked about their names. Until later, when they entered space, many human characters appeared, such as the robots and human characters on the spaceship. When everything was spoken in English, many on-site audiences reacted!

"All the characters have full English dialogue. The live-action movie clips in the movie are old American English movies. Even the video and video materials in the movie are all in English, with Chinese and English subtitles below. Is this a Hollywood animated movie or a Chinese movie? Animated movies?" In the process of watching the movie, many viewers had such a question in their hearts.

  The people of the Last Truth returned to the earth, Wali was safe and sound, and the captain also planted plants in the earth’s soil. The process was wonderful, and at the end it was a happy ending full of hope. Overall, this is still an animated film that makes the audience feel very good.

  After the film was screened, the audience gave a very warm applause, and some audience excitedly stood up from their seats and cheered. Seeing the reaction of the audience, Xiao Yao and Tong Luo breathed a sigh of relief, smiled from the bottom of their hearts, high-five each other, and shook their fists in excitement.

  After all the ending subtitles were played, the scene lights were all on, and the host Wang Yuan stepped onto the stage again and invited Xiao Yao and other four creative staff to the stage again.

  In the post-screening interactive communication session, Wang Yuan did not interview again, but directly gave the right to ask questions to the media reporters and audiences on the spot.

   "A great movie. I haven't seen such an excellent Chinese animation film for a long time." A reporter who was spotted stood up and said.

   "Thank you!" Xiao Yao nodded with a polite smile.

   "Just watching an animated movie that doesn't look like China!" The reporter continued.

   "Huh?" Xiao Yao was a little confused.

"The yellow race is not dominant among the human characters. All the characters are in English. The company names and spaceship names in the movie are all in English. I have not seen any Chinese factors at all," the reporter said, "If you don't know. If so, I would think this is a Hollywood animated film, not a Chinese animated film."

"Aren't we all catching up to the level of Hollywood's film industry? Doesn't it feel like Hollywood animation films are not good? I can take your words as a compliment." Xiao Yao smiled, "No matter what the content is, The funding for this animated film was provided by Teacher Tong and I. Teacher Tong and I are both Chinese, and all the behind-the-scenes staff, including the voice actors, are Chinese. This is undoubtedly a Chinese animated film! It’s not necessary that the race and name of the human characters in it must all be from China, right? Isn’t it good to be broad-minded? This is originally the story of the entire earth."

   "Well, why do all the characters have English dialogue throughout?" The reporter asked again, "This is in China, not in the United States."

  "There is also a Chinese version." Xiao Yao smiled, "Now if you go to the theater and watch the lineup, you will know that the lineup of this movie has two dubbed versions in English and Chinese."

   "Two versions? They are not imported films. Why do you need two dubbed versions?" the reporter asked.

"After the film was made, I considered the overseas market. This animated film will definitely be released overseas in the future." Xiao Yao said, "When we introduce foreign films, we will dub them by ourselves, but I am selling them. I don’t want to let people have another English version when I am copyrighting overseas. You say I want to sell more copyright fees, or I don’t want others to touch my stuff. When I made the dubbing, I did the English version directly. The dubbing of the two Chinese versions. I can’t control other languages, but in the English-speaking regions, I will insist that the other party use the English dubbing that I made myself.”

"For domestic releases, it must be dubbed in Chinese." Xiao Yao continued, "but I thought about it later. When films were introduced from abroad, the Chinese version and the original English version were often released together, because some people just wanted to. Looking at the original English version, I have already dubbed two versions, so I just uploaded the English version and the Chinese version together."

   "Then why is the English version used for today's premiere? You said that the English version is for people who like to watch English movies. Then, for today's premiere, should the Chinese version be used?" the reporter continued.

"Because I think the English version has better viewing effects than the Chinese version," Xiao Yao laughed. "For example, in English, earth and soil are the same word, but Chinese are not. This kind of double meaning is not effective in Chinese. When I was writing the script for this animated film, I originally designed the dialogue in English. Well, the premiere, of course I chose the version that I think is better."

  "The dialogue is designed in English? You mean that the script of your animated film is written in English?" The reporter said in disbelief.

   "Wow~" There were some exclamations in the audience.

   "Really?" Wang Yuan, He Ying, Huang Shi, and Tong Luo on the stage also looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

  "The script Xiao Yao gave me is in Chinese!" Tong Luo was suspicious in his heart, but did not say anything. He knew that Xiao Yao had written a lot of English songs, and it was hard to guarantee that he could not write scripts in English. Maybe what Xiao Yao gave himself was not the original manuscript, but the script he had translated into Chinese.

   "Anyway, I can't get the script in English now!" Xiao Yao smiled and spread out his hands.

  Many people also thought of Xiao Yao's writing many English songs. His words sounded like an acknowledgment in the ears of many people. In the exclamation of the scene, the reporter did not ask any more, and sat down.

  After the reporter sat down, Wang Yuan clicked on another audience in the back row.

"I can't wait to see the Chinese dubbed version again." The audience looked at the two stars on the stage and said, "I want to ask Teacher Huang Shi and Teacher Ying He, you two are dubbing the Chinese version. Is it still the English dubbing? Especially Teacher He Ying, I just couldn't tell if the Eva was your voice just now!"

   "We dubbed both versions." Huang Shi replied with a smile.

   "And the roles are the same!" He Ying continued.

"It's not just the two of them." Xiao Yao added, "All the characters in this movie are dubbed in both Chinese and English versions by the same person! Since this animated movie is going to sell the copyright overseas, I don't mind letting People from abroad know some of China’s voice actors!"

   "Wow~" There was another applause in the audience.

   "Thank you, Director Xiao!" Huang Shi and He Ying on the stage both smiled and owed Xiao Yao.

"Watching this movie, I suddenly feel a little sorry for Teacher Huang Shi!" Another viewer who was spotted stood up and looked at Huang Shidao on the stage. "I found that the role of Teacher Huang Shi is this movie. The one with the most lines must be the hardest dubbing!"

"Who said no!" Huang Shi slapped his thigh and pointed to Xiao Yao and He Ying. "It is said that they are the two protagonists, but the words of the two protagonists of the two of them are not as good as me. One-third of what the supporting role said. The two versions in Chinese and English will be doubled. My workload is at least ten times more than theirs! But if you say it, the two of them are the protagonists, and I do. Supporting role, I have lost my head!"

   "Haha~" The audience laughed at Huang Shi's heartbroken look.

"But my role is difficult!" He Ying looked at Huang Shi and comforted, "The role I am equipped with is a robot and speaks with mechanical sounds. You are a human character. You can use your own voice to match it! The amount is right! Bigger, but simple!"

   "Yes!" Huang Shi nodded.

"I'm a director and producer, I have the final say!" Xiao Yao also looked at Huang Shi, but it was not comforting, but stimulating him, "The protagonist must be mine, and it's a fake public benefit, you think You can't grab it!"

   "Hey~" Huang Shi stared at Xiao Yao.

   "Ha~" The audience was amused by Xiao Yao's rogue appearance again.

   "Xiao Yao, I want to ask." Another reporter who was named stood up and asked Xiao Yao, "Do you think the earth and human beings will really be like that in 800 years?"

   "Maybe, maybe not," Xiao Yao smiled and said seriously, "This is just a possibility, but it's not impossible."

  Next, many questions turned to the plot and theme of the movie. The obesity, environmental pollution, garbage disposal and other social issues involved in the movie were all thrown to the creator of the movie Xiao Yao, and some people even asked Xiao Yao about his views on the development of artificial intelligence in science and technology.

  These problems are big, and Xiao Yao doesn't talk too much. When he wanted to, no matter how celebrities appealed in public, it would not have as much impact as a film and television work that can impress people. Therefore, Xiao Yao's answers are as concise as possible, neither expressing pessimism nor blindly optimistic. Most of them are to let the audience feel and find the answer after watching the movie.

  The exchange meeting after the screening is only half an hour. At about two o'clock in the morning, Wang Yuan stood up and suggested that several people on the stage return to take a selfie with the audience, and then announced the end of the premiere.

  The premiere ended, Xiao Yao announced that there will be no follow-up events, no autographs, no group photos, no gifts, please go home as soon as possible, the audience will leave. Xiao Yao noticed that many of the audience at the scene were still unfinished, and many people were still walking and discussing with people around them when they left the venue. He felt that the effect of this premiere should be quite good.
