Chapter 462: Pandas know martial arts, and no one can stop them

Most of the people who attended the premiere were insiders, and they saw farther than the fans.

After watching this film, "The Wandering Earth" popped up in their minds. Although this film is a completely different film genre from it, it may serve the same purpose.

"The Wandering Earth" is a Chinese science fiction movie.

"Kung Fu Panda" as for Chinese animated films.

How popular "The Wandering Earth" is, maybe "Kung Fu Panda" is as popular, or even more popular.

The potential market for animated films may be larger than that for science fiction films.

This is a film that could become an image.

"Do you have a sequel to this movie?"

At the end of the video, Xu Jiahui asked Zhang Pu.

Zhang Pu smiled and said: "Whether the film has a sequel or not is not determined by the movie, but by the market. ”

What do you mean?

Xu Jiahui naturally understood.

If the film doesn't live up to expectations at the box office, then there won't be a sequel.

However, Xu Jiahui stands from the perspective of a fan and is full of confidence in this film.

She loved the animated movie and the many characters in it.

"Are you going to open the door to the market for Chinese animated films?" Zhang Ke walked over with a smile and said, "I really didn't expect that in half a year, you would make an animated film of such quality." ”

Zhang Ke was indeed shocked by Zhang Pu's film.

The quality of this movie is definitely not worse than those in Hollywood.

This is an animated film of international standard.

For an animated film of this quality, the production cycle is only half a year.

Or not half a year at all.

Zhang Ke didn't make animated films, but he also knew very well that making a high-quality animated film was still very time-consuming.

"Then borrow Zhang Daoji's words. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "The production cycle of this movie is short, and the main thing is that the character design has already come out, which is similar to other films going directly into post-production." If you count the time you spent preparing for it, the cycle is still very long. ”

Zhang Ke smiled and didn't take the stubble.

He doesn't know much about animated films, but he doesn't believe much in what Zhang Pu says.

If you change to other directors, under the same conditions, I am afraid you will not be able to do this. Zhang Pu's movies, in addition to the high quality as always, his speed is also amazing.

"Is your film being released simultaneously around the world?" asked Zhang Ke.

"North America will be released two days later, and then other countries and regions will be released one after another. Zhang Pu said.

The reason why North America is two days late is simply to choose a weekend to release it and hit the box office on the first day.

The same is true for Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, and Europe and other places will be a little late, but not much later.

At the end of the film, Zhang Pu did not stay for a long time, but left with his family.

"Buy me one!"

Before she walked out of the theater, Xu Jiahui was attracted by the many "kung fu pandas" in the theater, and then pointed to the dolls and said to Zhang Pu.

"Choose!" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

The others also smiled when they saw this. After watching the movie, those dolls are not only attractive to children, but also to girls and women.

"Why don't you bring one back for your sister-in-law?" Zhang Pu looked at Zhang Chu and said with a smile.

Generally, you can't watch movies in the first and third trimesters, Guo Yunxi is now in the second trimester, but she still hasn't come.

When "Resident Evil" premiered, she chose to go to the rest room instead of watching it in the theater. The premiere of "Kung Fu Panda", she naturally didn't come.

Even if you can come.

Mothers may be more cautious when it comes to children.

"After the film is released, the sales of these dolls are about to skyrocket. Zhang Chu said with a smile, but he still stepped forward and chose two.

Xu Jiahui chose Panda Po and Master Raccoon, while Zhang Chu chose Panda and Snake.

"She said two days ago that she dreamed of snakes. Zhang Chu saw Zhang Pu looking at him suspiciously, and then said.

Although the doll of the spirit snake is also quite cute, among the predictions of Zhang Pu and others, it should sell the worst.

"You're going to hug your son!" Xu Jiadong said with a smile.

When a pregnant woman sees a snake in a dream, it is an indication that she may have a male child.

"Have you ever studied the fetal dream?" Li Yixin said with a smile.

Whether the fetal dream is accurate or not, this is a matter of opinion.

"I heard my mom say it. Xu Jiadong said with a smile, "Why don't you choose one too?"

"You send me?" Li Yixin said with a smile.

"Of course!" Xu Jiadong hurriedly said.

Li Yixin smiled, and then went to choose one. She chose the big villain in it, the leopard dragon.

Zhang Pu and the others left, and the fans in the theater immediately swept away the dolls inside.

Even if many people haven't watched "Kung Fu Panda" at all.

The next day, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The word-of-mouth of "Kung Fu Panda" came out, and both major media and film critics gave this film a very high evaluation.

However, what is talked about is the photo of Xu Jiahui and Zhang Chu and others walking out of the theater with dolls.

As for whether there is a shadow of Oriental DreamWorks in this matter, it is unknown.

This still has a lot of promotion for the sales of those film and television peripheral products.

Of course, on Chinese New Year's Eve, these topics are very limited.

Today's topic is still mostly the Spring Festival Gala.

In the evening, after dinner, everyone gathered in front of the TV.

"The Spring Festival Gala program team invited the two of you again this year?" Zhang Chu said with a smile.

"Didn't I invite you too?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

The results speak for themselves, they all refused.

After Zhang Pu rejected the Spring Festival Gala program group, the Spring Festival Gala program team also came to the door in person for this purpose.

At that time, the Spring Festival Gala program team learned of Zhang Pu's reason for refusal, and also suggested that Zhang Pu should take his family to the Spring Festival Gala for the New Year.

However, he was still rejected by Zhang Pu.

Boring.

Could it be that he sang a song "Tomorrow You Will Marry Me" with Xu Jiahui on stage, and announced the marriage news of the two by the way?

On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the announcement of the marriage seems to be very high.

Is there such a thing?

For the wedding, Zhang Pu and Xu Jiahui's consensus is to be as low-key as possible.

Of course, it is difficult for them to keep a low profile.

The Spring Festival Gala is still like that, there are no impressive programs.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Kung Fu Panda" was released nationwide, and the Spring Festival stall fight officially began.

While other movie creators were running around to promote, Zhang Pu was chatting with his family at home. However, the momentum of "Kung Fu Panda" must be no worse than others.

"The reputation of several other films seems to be good, and the competition for this year's Spring Festival is a bit fierce!" Xu Jiahui said to Zhang Pu with a smile, "Are you nervous?"

"It's not enough to be nervous. Expected. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "They want to press me for this "Kung Fu Panda", if the quality is poor, how can it work?"

"Sniping "Resident Evil", if you want to break the box office myth of your screenwriting film, won't the reputation of "The Brave" collapse?" Xu Jiahui said.

Those people want to break the box office myth of the film directed by Zhang Pu, and Xu Jiahui is naturally clear about this.

But if they think it's a good movie, then it must be a good movie?

Before the release of "The Brave", the creator must have thought so. But the opposite is true.

Many filmmakers have a kind of confidence in their work.

This is not a to make fans confident, but they really think they are bullish.

But the films released during the Spring Festival are different.

The other four films, except for "My Star Girlfriend", have an excellent reputation.

Especially "Two Heroes", Chen Huatao and Zhou Chaohua are said to be very exciting.

The special effects and action of "Demon Hunting" are praised. The war scenes of "Mulan", as well as Xiao Xue's interpretation, are also praised by many people.

Whether it is the critic's score or the audience's score, the scores of these films are not much different.

Even "My Celebrity Girlfriend", which has the worst reputation, is only slightly worse.

Maybe it's just that the scene isn't big enough.

This film is also a high-quality romance.

This year's Spring Festival stalls, the competition is fierce, in the eyes of many people, it is unprecedented. In the past Spring Festival stalls, there were not so many blockbusters, let alone so many word-of-mouth blockbusters.

"The reputation of the film "The Brave" abroad is not bad. Zhang Pu said, "The producer and distributor probably didn't expect it to be a result of being hot on the outside and cold on the inside." ”

"You mean that "The Brave" focuses on the global market, but I didn't expect it to be cold in China. The films released at the same time as "Kung Fu Panda" are aimed at the domestic market, so they are more accurate in their judgment. Xu Jiahui thought for a while and said.

"So to speak. Zhang Pu said.

"The Brave" hit the streets in China, and the director has a great responsibility.

Of course, if you change to a domestic director, maybe the domestic box office will rise, and the foreign box office may be fluttering again.

Who can say this clearly?

"You're not optimistic about the foreign box office of those films?" Xu Jiahui then smiled and said.

"I haven't seen those films, how can I judge?" Zhang Pu said, shaking his head.

Zhang Pu doesn't know how those films are at the box office abroad. But those films are firmly grasping the domestic market, which is an indisputable fact.

In Zhang Pu's opinion, these films are smarter than "The Brave".

The domestic market is undoubtedly the foundation, and the foundation must be laid firmly.

Of course, a film like "My Celebrity Girlfriend", in Zhang Pu's view, did not consider the foreign market at all.

As for the 300 million investment, its moisture must be a bit large.

Even if you haven't seen this film, it's not hard to guess.

A fool would invest 300 million to make a film like this. Nowadays, it is estimated that there are doubts about this aspect on the Internet.

In their opinion, major companies jointly sniped Zhang Pu, and Sino-Swiss Pictures cut corners to take this film perfunctory.

However, this has nothing to do with Zhang Pu.

It can be seen from the Internet that the popularity of "Kung Fu Panda" is the highest among the films released during the Spring Festival.

This shows how terrifying Zhang Pu's box office appeal is.

On the second day of junior high school, the box office on the first day was released, which undoubtedly confirmed this.

"Kung Fu Panda" won the single-day box office championship with a box office of more than 300 million.

It is also the only film with a box office of more than 300 million on the first day.

It's really a panda who knows martial arts, and no one can stop it!
