Chapter 672: Bilingual Film

The producers and producers of this animated film are simple. At the beginning, in addition to the "dragon mark" flashed, there was only one company cartoon title of Tong Luo's "Galaxy Special Effects".

This animated movie is basically based on the way Xiao Yao remembered in his previous life. In addition to replacing the live-action movie clips and songs inside, changing the live-action part to an animated image, and changing the CEO of BNL to a yellow image, Xiao Yao did not make too many changes, and the images and plots of the main characters were all based on the original version of the previous life.

In the previous life, this movie won more than 500 million global box office and won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film, both at the box office and word of mouth, it was quite good. Although the release date of this life is more than ten years later than the previous life, it is still quite attractive to take it out in China.

During the screening of the movie, the audience at the scene watched it quite devotedly, not only laughing, sighing, and admiring, but also a lot of surprise in their hearts.

This animated film is not strictly a comedy movie, and there is not much comedy baggage in it, and the comedy label was not labeled in the genre classification of the original version in the previous life, but the protagonist Valina is stupid, cute, cowardly, and even a little cheap, and his expression and behavior still make the audience laugh a lot. And although the heroine Eva/Eve is a robot, her style of pulling out a gun when she doesn't agree with her words is a savage girlfriend, which also makes the audience happy.

And what the audience sighs about is mainly the global environment and the current situation of human beings shown in the movie.

The opening scene of the movie is transferred from space to Earth. Although it was only a fleeting moment, many viewers noticed that the outer space of the Earth in the movie is completely surrounded by space junk. The Earth's surface is not much better. Mountains of waste and garbage in the city, sorting robots compress the garbage, and pile up high-rise buildings, two sandstorms that have not been seen in a short period of time, and the BNL company's advertisement in the form of radio shows that the earth is no longer suitable for human habitation.

After the plot shifted to a spaceship in space, the human beings who finally appeared also made the audience sigh. All of them were obese and motionless in their chairs. In the most critical moments, the captain was able to get out of his chair and stand up on his own feet, which became a kind of "heroic" behavior that made everyone inside and outside the play cheer, which made people excited to watch and inevitably had some irony in it.

In addition to sighing, this movie also has touching things that make people feel warm and romantic. This is naturally the emotional drama of the two robot protagonists. On Earth, Eva put the plant into her body and went into a dormant state, Vali took the dormant Eva to bask in the sun to recharge, sheltered her from the wind and rain and was struck by lightning, and took her to watch the sunset and forcibly hold hands and be clamped, etc., which made the audience both funny and warm. And the clip of the two robots flying in space that once appeared in the trailer made the audience feel unusually romantic, and they couldn't help but admire it again and again.

All of the above is enough to make the audience think that this is a very good-looking and excellent animated movie. However, in the process of watching, the audience also had a lot of questions in their hearts.

The first is that the beginning of the movie doesn't have any credits. This is rare in movies, but not particularly rare. However, when the title of the movie appeared in more than two minutes, many viewers found that the title of the movie was not the "Robot Wall-E" that Xiao Yao said when he promoted it in the variety show, but the five capital English letters of "" plus a dot as a separator.

Then in the first twenty minutes of the movie, there is no dialogue between the two protagonists, except for a video ad for the CEO of BNL. In the first half hour, the two protagonist robots basically did not communicate with each other, except for a few words when they knew each other.

There is almost no dialogue in the first half hour, if you really take a child to watch it, young children may not be able to understand it, no wonder Xiao Yao said before that most animated movies in China 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 didn't realize this at the time of the previous CEO advertisement, and there were not many reactions when the two robots talked about their names, and it wasn't until later that when they entered space and many human characters appeared, and the robots and human characters on those spaceships all spoke English, many people in the audience reacted!

"All the characters have English dialogues throughout the whole process, and the live-action movie clips in the movie are old English movies in the United States, and even the video materials in the movie are all in English, with bilingual subtitles in Chinese and English, is this a Hollywood animated film or a Chinese animated movie?"

Eventually, the Truth crew returned to Earth, and Vali was unharmed, and the captain planted plants in the Earth's soil. The process is wonderful, and the end is also a happy ending full of hope. Overall, this is 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 members got up from their seats excitedly and cheered. Seeing the reaction of the audience, Xiao Yao and Tong Luo both breathed a sigh of relief, laughed from the bottom of their hearts and high-fived each other, and waved their fists excitedly.

After all the end credits were played, the lights were all on, and the host Wang Yuan walked on the stage again and invited Xiao Yao and the other four main creators to the stage again.

In the interactive exchange session after the screening, Wang Yuan did not do any more interviews, but directly gave the power to ask questions to the media reporters and the audience at the scene.

"It's a great movie, I haven't seen such a good Chinese animated film for a long time. One of the reporters who had been called stood up and said.

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

"It just doesn't look like a Chinese animated movie!" the reporter continued.

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was a little puzzled.

"The yellow race is not dominant in the human characters, all the characters are in English throughout the whole process, the company name and the ship name in the movie are all in English, and I don't see any Chinese factor at all," the reporter said, "If I didn't know, I would think this is a Hollywood animated movie, not a Chinese animated movie." ”

"Aren't we all catching up with the Hollywood film industry now? Doesn't it feel like a Hollywood animated movie? I can take your words as a compliment. Xiao Yao said with a smile, "No matter what the content is, the funds for this animated film are from me and Teacher Tong, Teacher Tong and I are both Chinese, and all the behind-the-scenes staff, including the voice actors, are all Chinese, this is undoubtedly a Chinese animated film! There is no need for the races and names of the human characters in it to be Chinese, right? Isn't it good to be broad-minded? This is originally the story of the whole earth." ”

"Okay, so why are all the characters in English the whole time?" the reporter asked, "This is in China, not in the United States." ”

"There is also a Chinese version. Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Now if you go to the theater and take a look at the film schedule, you will know that the film schedule of this movie has two dubbed versions in English and Chinese." ”

"Two versions? It's not a foreign imported film, so why two dubbed versions?" the reporter asked.

"After this film was made, I thought about the overseas market, and this animated film will definitely be released overseas in the future. Xiao Yao said, "When we introduce foreign films, we will dub them ourselves, but when I sell overseas copyrights, I don't want people to dub another English version." You say I want to sell more royalties, or I don't want others to touch my stuff. When making the dubbing, I directly did the dubbing in English and Chinese. I can't control the other languages, but in English-speaking areas, I insist that the other person use the English version of the dubbing that I made. ”

"If it is released in China, it must be dubbed in Chinese. Xiao Yao continued, "But I thought about it later, when movies imported from abroad are often released in Chinese and English together, because some people want to watch the English original, I have already done two versions of dubbing, and simply put the English version and the Chinese version together." ”

"Then why is today's premiere in English? You said that the English version is to take care of some people who like to watch English movies, so today's premiere should be in Chinese, right?" the reporter continued.

"Because I think the English version is better than the Chinese version," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "For example, in English, earth and soil are a word, but Chinese is not." This kind of pun meaning, Chinese can not achieve the effect. When I was writing the script for this animated film, I originally designed the dialogue in English. Well, of course I chose the version that I thought was better. ”

"Dialogue in English, you mean the script for your animated film is written in English?" the reporter said in disbelief.

"Wow~" Some exclamations rang out from 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 doubted in his heart, but did not say it. He knew that Xiao Yao had written a lot of English songs, and it was hard to guarantee that he couldn't write scripts in English. Maybe Xiao Yao gave himself not the original manuscript, but the script after he translated it into Chinese.

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

Many people also thought of the fact that Xiao Yao had written a lot of English songs. His words sounded like an acknowledgment to many people's ears. Amid the exclamations at the scene, the reporter sat down without asking any more questions.

After the reporter sat down, Wang Yuan ordered another audience member 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 He Ying, are you two dubbing the Chinese version or the English version? Especially Teacher He Ying, I can't hear if that Eva just now is your voice!"

"Both versions are voiced by us. Huang Shi replied with a smile.

"And the characters are all the same!" He Ying continued.

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

"Wow~" There was another round of applause from the audience.

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

"After watching this movie, I suddenly feel a little sorry for Mr. Huang Shi!" Another audience member who was ordered stood up and looked at Huang Shi on the stage, "I found that Mr. Huang Shi's role is the one with the most lines in this movie, and it must be the hardest dubbing!"

"Who said it wasn't!" Huang Shi slapped his thigh and pointed at Xiao Yao and He Ying, "It was said that the two of them were paired with the two protagonists, but the words of the two protagonists of the two of them together were not one-third of what the supporting characters I were paired with." The Chinese and English versions have to be doubled again, and my workload is at least ten times more than theirs! But when it comes out, the two of them are still the protagonists, and I am the supporting role, and I am a big loss!"

"Haha~" The audience was amused by Huang Shi's distressed appearance.

"But my role is difficult!" He Ying looked at Huang Shi and comforted, "The character I match is a robot, and the voice is mechanical, and you are a human character, just use your own timbre to match!"

"Yes!" Huang Shi nodded.

"I'm the director and producer, I have the final say!" Xiao Yao also looked at Huang Shi, but instead of comforting, he stimulated him, "The protagonist must be mine, and it is clear that it is a fake public and private interest, and you can't rob it if you want to!"

"Hey~" Huang Shi glared at Xiao Yao and said.

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

"Xiao Yao, I want to ask," another reporter whose name was called 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, "It's just a possibility, but it's not impossible." ”

Next, a lot of questions turn to the plot and theme aspects of the movie. The social issues such as obesity, environmental pollution, and garbage disposal involved in the movie were all thrown to the creator of the film, 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 very big, and Xiao Yao doesn't talk too much. In his mind, no matter how much a star appeals in public, it is not as influential as a film and television work that can move people. Therefore, Xiao Yao's answers are as concise as possible, neither expressing pessimism nor blind optimism, most of them are to let the audience feel and find the answer after watching the movie.

The exchange meeting after the screening was only half an hour. At about two o'clock in the morning, Wang Yuan stood up and proposed that several people on the stage turn back and take a group photo with the audience, and then announced the end of the premiere.

At the end of the premiere, Xiao Yao announced that there would be no follow-up meeting activities, no signing, no group photos, no gifts, and asking the audience to go home as soon as possible, and the audience left one after another. Xiao Yao noticed that many of the audience at the scene were still unsatisfied, and many people were still discussing something with the people around them while leaving the venue, and felt that the effect of this premiere should be quite good.
