785 [Mr. Squirrel]
In the past three weeks, "Wonderful Night at the Museum" has won 2 billion box office in China, plus 1 billion abroad, this movie has overfulfilled the task, and is considered the king of schedules, and there is no doubt that it is the hottest movie at the moment!
In terms of the box office list, it is naturally also a gorgeous triple crown.
But in the fourth week, ushered in the fierce rival of "Mr. Squirrel", and the domestic single-week box office of "Wonderful Night at the Museum" shrank almost immediately, leaving less than 100 million, which can't help but make people sigh, worthy of being one of the genius directors who were once as famous as Luo Yuan!
Lu Tianqi!
At that time, with a disaster film, he even beat Luo Yuan's "Initial D", which was a huge success in word-of-mouth and box office, at that time he was considered to be one of the first to become a powerful director among the Seven Masters of Light and Shadow, and now a few years have passed, he has not become a powerful director, but the strength is obvious to all, this time "Mr. Squirrel" is his breakthrough work, and it is also his ambitious work!
The box office reached 1 billion in the first week!
This is in stark contrast to the results of "Wonderful Night at the Museum" this week, although this is also related to the fact that the former has been released for three weeks and has passed the golden heat, but it can end a hit work so neatly and neatly, and it also proves the potential of "Mr. Squirrel" from the side -
Lu Tianqi made a wonderful move.
In fact, for Lu Tianqi, transformation is a very dangerous thing, and the whole circle knows that he is good at disaster movies or stories with a bit of cold tones, but such a director has shot a movie with warmth as a selling point, which is really unexpected by countless people, and has also broken through countless people's glasses.
It's just that this movie is really warm.
The story tells the story of a squirrel from the forest who strayed into the city and was adopted by a human family, the cartoon image design of the squirrel is very stupid, and the human beings in the movie will not be surprised to see the animated squirrel whose height is almost the same as that of a child, this is the worldview setting, the performance is delicate and has no sense of disobedience, which sets a warm tone for the movie, although at the beginning of the movie, the father in the family does not like the squirrel, and is noisy to throw it out, so that few people in the whole family dare to get close to the squirrel, but with the development of some plots, various farces, the family gradually likes the squirrel, and at the end of the movie, decided to adopt it -
The story of the movie is not unusual.
Warm and natural, it gives people a very comfortable feeling, but the reviews are very high, and the box office is also very high, because this film is the first film in Huaxia history to combine live-action and animation, which is very novel for many people!
The fame of animated films is crimson hit.
The "Kung Fu Panda" back then is still talked about by people today, and in the same year that the movie came out, Lu Tianqi inevitably fell in love with this new form of movie, so that he never missed the "Despicable Me" or "Robot Wall-E" produced by Crimson later, that is, after watching "Despicable Me", an idea suddenly appeared in Lu Tianqi's mind:
Why not make a live-action anime?
The combination of animated images and live-action movies, this is undoubtedly a bold idea, maybe after the animated movie became popular, some people took it into account, but the difference is that people who take this idea into account first may not dare to do it, but Lu Tianqi is a master who does what he says!
He immediately explained his idea to the company!
As one of the Seven Masters of Light and Shadow, and as Lu Beixuan's junior, Lu Tianqi is definitely the company's baby bump, and what he wants to try will naturally not encounter too much resistance, so soon, this movie called "Mr. Squirrel" was put on the agenda, and after completion, it was presented in front of today's audience.
Animated films, Crimson is the best at.
The level of animated films produced by other companies is definitely not comparable to Crimson, but it doesn't matter, it's not difficult to make an animated image of a squirrel, the difficult thing is that the actor needs to constantly perform without physical objects and act in the air......
It's not the hardest.
The most difficult thing should be to make this decision, Lu Tianqi thinks so, now that he sees the success of the movie, he is naturally in a good mood, but he doesn't know how much the final box office of this movie can be, and he is also a little fortunate to be able to end "Wonderful Night at the Museum", this is a fierce film, if it is met at the time of its highest popularity, it is not certain who will kill the deer.
Fortunately, the schedule chosen by Lu Tianqi is very safe.
Any movie will go downhill in the fourth week, and his appearance is just an early end to some of the thoughts of "Wonderful Night at the Museum", although this is a little sorry for Luo Yuan, but in the film market, such a thing is normal, as long as it is not malicious competition, no one will worry about this unpleasantness, in fact, not only will it not be unpleasant, as a friend, Luo Yuan also sent a message to Lu Tianqi as a congratulator, Lu Tianqi may have forgotten that a long time ago, together with Wang Ming and Jiang Yu, he had helped Luo Yuan.
"Let's work together in the second part?"
After receiving Luo Yuan's message, Lu Tianqi replied directly.
Luo Yuan asked how to cooperate, he typed: "After all, animated movies are what Scarlet is best at, the second part, in addition to the squirrel, I also plan to add a new animated character, a dog, this dog will also join this big family, and then the squirrel will be jealous, and the two animals will cause a big war, causing the whole family to fly and jump, which requires a lot of technology......"
Luo Yuan was surprised.
It's a bit like Garfield.
In fact, being able to think of combining animation with live-action movies, Luo Yuan still admires Lu Tianqi very much, although Luo Yuan has also seen live-action animated movies similar to "Paddington Bear" in his previous life, but he didn't think of this idea for a while, but let Lu Tianqi use it first.
At the same time, he also admired Lu Tianqi.
The success rate of this idea cannot be predicted, that is to say, Lu Tianqi took a risk in filming this movie, and if he was not careful, his efforts in a year or two would be in vain, and from this point of view, it is not unjust that "Wonderful Night at the Museum" was terminated by the other party.
"We'll talk about it in detail when the time comes. ”
The other party wants to cooperate, Luo Yuan may not agree to it before, but now it's different, Crimson wants to expand, and entertaining himself can't make Crimson realize this intention, so such a good project, if you can cooperate, it doesn't hurt to pay a little animation film production technology.
Lu Tianqi ......
Wang Ming, Guan Yunteng......
These people have all been as famous as Luo Yuan, and Luo Yuan has never underestimated this group of people, after all, they are the golden generation of the Chinese film industry, and now that Lu Tianqi has made a breakthrough, I don't know when and in what way the others will surprise themselves?
Luo Yuan thought expectantly.
