rising director

Peripheral products were almost sold out before the movie was released, so one can imagine how popular the movie will be.There was a long queue of ticket-buying audiences at the entrance of every cinema, and many people even brought folding stools, mineral water, and biscuits yesterday afternoon in order to wait for the midnight show on the premiere day.Wait at the entrance of the theater.

Local TV stations in major cities are also extremely busy reporting the grand occasion of watching movies, and broadcasting the past to the whole country through TV.These are the local TV stations seeing the hot pre-sale of the movie, and spontaneously reported it, saving a lot of publicity costs.Golden Harvest Entertainment has only placed advertising resources on a few key TV stations.

Watching these entertainment programs, the coverage of "Kung Fu Panda" is the same, from an eighty-year-old grandmother to a three-year-old baby.We all know that a movie about the national treasure giant panda is about to be released.

"Master, you are so old, are you still queuing here?" A reporter from a TV station found a 70-year-old man queuing at the gate of the local Golden Harvest Film City.

The old man brought a hat, kettle, folding stool, fan and flashlight, and it seemed that he was going to fight on this premiere night.

"I want my little grandson to see it. He's off to learn the piano, and he won't be able to come over until after ten o'clock. Today's children are very lucky and tired of studying. I just want him to see the long-awaited "Kung Fu Panda" "Relax. Also support Wan Xiaohu, a young man, work hard and win glory for Chinese movies!"

"Your grandson must be very happy to have a grandfather like you!" The reporter exclaimed, "However, you are so old, can you persist until you can buy a ticket?"

"Hey, you young people, don't underestimate us old guys. When we were young, it was normal for us to go to the factory to tackle key projects and not sleep for three to five days."

In the chat room between the reporter and the old man, the manager of the theater learned about it and ran out quickly after learning the details.Immediately shouted to the long queue: "I know that everyone wants to see "Kung Fu Panda" for the first time, but you have also seen it, and the elderly are also queuing. How about two tickets?"

There was a TV station shooting outside. The manager was a good person, but the audience could still be a bad person, so they all nodded.

Only then did the manager hand over the prepared two movie tickets to the old man.

"Hey, what an embarrassment. I'll line up, it doesn't matter much." The old man was a little embarrassed.

"Just keep it, thank you for supporting our country's film industry at such an old age, and going to the cinema to watch genuine movies. We also hope that you can pass on this genuine spirit to your grandson, so that our country's movies My career is booming, and I will make more good movies in the future to give back to everyone!" The manager spoke very openly, as if the leader came down to inspect.

"Ah, what a harmonious picture." The reporter looked at the camera with emotion, "In the past few years, as China joined TO, we were worried that Chinese films would be captured by Hollywood blockbusters, but in fact, a group of outstanding film workers For example, Wan Xiaohu, the director of "Kung Fu Panda" to be released tonight, they are still sticking to it. The country is also vigorously supporting the film industry. Although we are still far from Hollywood, the increasingly prosperous market has made We see hope. Just like this old man, we are willing to go into the cinema to support our filmmakers."

"Harmonious society, inheritance and beauty!"

The time zone of China is 13 hours later than the time zone of the United States. When "Kung Fu Panda" has been raging in North America, the midnight show in the mainland of China is finally here, which the audience has been looking forward to.

The old man who was allowed to jump in the line to buy tickets also walked into the cinema with his little grandson, who had just rushed over after learning the piano.

"Hohoho."

Ah Bao kicked on the screen, cracking the logo of Ah Bao's animation, and the grandpa's grandson immediately burst out laughing.This logo is a fresh symbol for North American audiences, but for Chinese audiences, what is already familiar can no longer be familiar.

The "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series and the "Qin Shi Mingyue" series all have this logo.

"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has already released three volumes. The second "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Great Battle in the Weird World" was released in 05, and the third "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Goat Games" was released in 07.Major TV stations across the country bombarded them one after another, with the attitude of not giving up on brainwashing adults and children.

And even people who don't watch TV can't resist the Pleasant Goat series. This is a must-play cartoon on the bus. People who get off work every morning and evening, even with their eyes closed, can hear Big Big Wolf's exaggerated sinister laughter, and Classic quote: "I'll be back."

This cartoon has become a national cartoon.

Everyone, adults and children, knows it. Many adults expressed their disdain at first, but after watching it, they even feel that they can watch it with gusto.It’s even more difficult for children, who are on time every day, watch Pleasant Goat, buy food and drink, have Pleasant Goat brand, and buy clothes with Pleasant Goat pattern.Pleasant goat doll.Yes, Pleasant Goat's kettle, yes, Pleasant Goat's schoolbag, yes.

And "Qin Shi Mingyue" will be more low-key, and the output is not high. In 04, "Qin Shimingyue: Jingke Biography" and "Qinshimingyue: Hundred Steps Flying Sword" were released, and in 06, "Qinshimingyue's Night Ends the Sky", with a total of 29 episodes.

However, this animation, in which Wan Xiaohu himself has the title of chief director, has gathered a large number of crazy fans.Different from the previous track, this one directed by Wan Xiaohu has a larger investment and focuses on technology development, and the output is indeed not high.But the quality is absolutely top notch.

It is a rare large-scale animation production in China that promotes history, and it is also broadcast on major TV stations in turn.

With such popularity, the logo of Abao Animation is naturally well known.

Just like the grandpa's little grandson, almost as soon as the logo came out, many children accompanied by adults screamed in the cinema.They already have the impression that this logo represents good-looking cartoons.

Cultivate fans.To start with the doll.

When Wan Xiaohu created Abao Animation, he was not without ambition in his heart.Disney animation and DreamWorks animation in the United States are popular all over the world and have influenced many children.The country also needs its own Disney to compete with Western civilization, which started from children's cultural imports.

It is conceivable that as long as Abao Animation continues to maintain its current development momentum.In the hearts of Chinese children, it is not an extravagant hope to root a concept of "Abao animation is a good animation" and grow into China's Disney and DreamWorks.Besides, with Wan Xiaohu's current wealth.It is not difficult to support a domestic animation brand.

Now he is still copying some classic Hollywood animations, accumulating family fortune and word of mouth. In the future, he will definitely develop towards originality and make various types of animations that are nationalized.

With the end of the familiar logo, "Kung Fu Panda" officially began to laugh all over the audience. Children felt very funny seeing Po, and adults were also attracted by the simple story and beautiful background.The old man has passed the funny age, instead of laughing with others, he was amazed.

"It's so well done, the painting is good, the lines are also good, including the philosophy of Laozi and Zhuangzi, it's amazing!"

The old man is a tasteful old man. Although he has been engaged in technical work in the factory for a lifetime, he also likes to dabble in Chinese studies and other content.In his opinion, "Kung Fu Panda" is perfect for its attention to detail, such as the patterns on Hanfu, bamboo hats, archways, temples, noodles, tofu, firecrackers, sedan chairs, bags, and even porcelain.

All reveal the customs and customs of ancient China.

After a movie, others applauded enthusiastically because they were satisfied with laughter, and the old man also clapped his hands violently, feeling sincerely happy for such an outstanding cartoon.

"Okay, great!"

The old man took the reluctant little grandson with him, and as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw the beautiful reporter who interviewed him earlier. The beautiful reporter obviously also noticed the old man, walked over quickly, and asked the old man how he felt about watching movies. So, the old man said these five words.

"Grandpa, can you tell me in detail, where is the advantage?"

Xiao Sun rushed to answer: "Looks good, Po is so fat and cool, hey, the big dragon can't beat him! Jiaohu is also powerful, and the golden monkey, the mantis is the most handsome." Chinese Kung Fu.

The old man hurriedly grabbed Xiao Sun, he shouldn't run around, he was afraid of being scattered by the turbulent crowd, and then said to the reporter: "This movie is beyond my expectation. I thought it was also similar to "Pleasant Goat" at first. It’s as simple as Big Big Wolf. But its picture is so exquisite, it’s just like the real thing. No wonder I heard Xiaonian say in the aisle just now that Wan Xiaohu has been preparing for several years to make technical preparations for this film. too strong."

"Yes, since Director Wan founded Abao Animation Studio in 02, he had the idea of ​​making "Kung Fu Panda". Wonderful today." The reporter nodded.

Then he looked at the camera and popularized his knowledge: "However, we also need to see that many technical aspects of "Kung Fu Panda" were outsourced to Hollywood's DreamWorks Animation Studio. Director Wan Xiaohu said frankly in an interview two years ago, The technology of Po’s animation was five years behind Hollywood before the filming of “Kung Fu Panda”, and we hope to catch up with the first-class level of Hollywood after filming. We believe that Po’s animation must have achieved it!”

The old man was not very satisfied with his words being interrupted by the reporter, but fortunately the reporter returned to him: "The technology of this movie is nothing to say, but what I appreciate most is its idea. Zhuang’s philosophy is included. I think this old tortoise is like the incarnation of the old man. The panda has Zhuang’s shadow on him.”

"Lao and Zhuang's philosophy?" The reporter was stunned. A cartoon can even refer to Lao and Zhuang. Both Lao and Zhuang are thinkers in ancient China.

The old man took it for granted: "Have you seen it? I only watched it once. But I feel very deep. You see, when the tortoise chose the dragon hero, he didn't know that the panda would come over at first, so He just stretched out his finger like this, and when the panda fell down, he said that the panda is the Dragon Warrior. I feel that this tortoise is the old principle of inaction, and his fingering is not with a purpose. It’s not about someone, it’s about who is who.”

Then, the old man talked about his thoughts eloquently in front of the camera.It's hard for this old man, Liu is 70 years old, and his memory is still so good.

"You see what the tortoise said to the panda, he said 'Give up? Don't give up? Make noodles, don't make noodles. You care too much about what hasn't happened, as the saying goes. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, today is a gift It is a gift from the present, so it is called at this time' It has a negative taste of avoiding the world, but it also has a kind of indifference. Let nature take its course and take nature as your reason."

"I was thinking again, why Wan Xiaohu arranged for the giant panda to become the dragon hero? Because the giant panda is the most ideal anthropomorphic animal in Taoism. Its fur is either black or white, which is consistent with the black and white yin and yang of Taoism. Why is the turtle Master? Because the tortoise is slow. When it is slow, it takes more time to think, and it is indifferent to fame and fortune, and it conforms to the Taoist way. Therefore, the tortoise is old, and the panda is Zhuang. It is such a truth. This One point, I’ve seen quite a few movies, and none of the domestic movies have explained it, in other words, none of the cartoons they made have connotations.”

"Look again, there is nothing in the secret book of the dragon hero, why is it blank? Because it is a Taoist theory, Wuji produces Taiji, Taiji produces Liangyi, and then the world and everything are born. There is no secret book, it is Cheats!"

"I don't know if it's my overextended interpretation. The tortoise represents Taoism, and the master represents Confucianism. Confucianism is the old way, so he got his own Taoism and Confucianism. So the master doesn't believe the dragon hero that the tortoise refers to. There are five younger brothers, I think they can represent the five constants of Confucianism'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith'. He manages the valley, which can be regarded as the world ruled by Confucianism. But Dalong can represent Legalism. To get the secret book."

"Taoism, Confucianism, and Legalism can be said to be the three schools that have the most profound influence on the country. The "Qin Shi Mingyue" that my grandson likes to watch is the story of the hundreds of schools. I think Wan Xiaohu directed these animations. When making the film, his idea was inherited, and "Kung Fu Panda" is more obscure."

"His portrayal of Taoism is very important. You can see that when the old turtle passed away, he painted the peach blossoms and went away with the wind. This is the Taoist idea. All things come from the Tao and return to the Tao. This is very similar to Zhuang's "Xiaoyaoyou". I feel it, as if I have understood life and death, and faced everything calmly. If you look at Master again, I don’t know why Master is a raccoon, but his style is very similar to Confucianism. Confucianism pays attention to understanding righteousness and generosity Going to die, you see Master knows that he will die if he stays to stop the dragon, but he still stays resolutely."

"Let me say one more thing. At the beginning, Master had a lot of distracting thoughts. He didn't believe in pandas, and he was worried about Dalong. He kept his word and accepted gifts. Even though he didn't trust pandas, he still taught him carefully. Stubborn. But after the panda defeated the dragon, the master said that I found peace in my heart. What is peace, is the Tao, he doesn’t need to think about dog flies, he knows how to rule by doing nothing, like a turtle, let it go Naturally. It can be seen from here that Wan Xiaohu admires Taoism very much..."

"Wow, thank you for your analysis, old man. It's really wonderful. Are you a master of Chinese studies, old man?" The reporter admired sincerely.

"Nothing else, I just love Chinese studies!" The old man smiled implicitly.
